Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 315

Although Lu Huaniang came from a family, she still has the most basic common sense.

Therefore, she felt that Qin Tian was making fun of them again.

Not only Lu Huaniang felt that, but even Tang Rong quickly agreed.

"Sir, don't make trouble."

Qin Tian shrugged: "I'm not talking nonsense. Chickens can be hatched from these eggs, mainly depends on the temperature. As long as the temperature is right, they can be hatched without a hen. Since chickens are expensive now, wait until winter. I’m afraid it will be more expensive, but if you hatch some now, it will be available in winter.”

When Qin Tian said this, both Lu Huaniang and Tang Rong were stunned.

"My husband is talking nonsense again. Without a hen to incubate eggs, how can an egg hatch into a chick? This is the same as us. Children also have to be conceived in the mother's belly for ten months before they can be born. Without a hen, it is absolutely impossible. Yes." Tang Rong pursed her lips, not believing what Qin Tian said.

"Since Madam doesn't believe it, how about we make a bet?"

Hearing about the bet, Tang Rong was a little worried, and said, "I won't bet with you."

"Then Madam still doesn't believe it." Qin Tian felt that women are really difficult to understand sometimes, and he obviously didn't believe it, but he still didn't dare to bet with himself.

However, this bet is no bet, the chick should hatch or hatch.

After having this plan, Qin Tian called Qin Wu over.

"Go back to Qin's Village and ask someone to open up a few rooms for me in the Qin's Manor. There must be kangs in the rooms."

Hearing this, Qin Wu was a little puzzled.

"Brother Tian, ​​it's only autumn now, and it's still too early to use the kang."

"If you want to do it, do it, stop talking nonsense."

Qin Wu snorted, and hurried back to Qin's Village.

After Qin Wu left, Qin Tian started carpentry.

To hatch chicks, there must be some incubators. These boxes must ensure that the eggs are not disturbed, and they are easy to carry, etc. After all, sometimes the temperature needs to be adjusted.

The temperature adjustment is not as precise as later generations, so sometimes it is necessary to carry out some temperature control through the handling of these boxes.

The incubator is relatively not very difficult. After Qin Tian made a few, some craftsmen in the mansion understood how to do it, and then Qin Tian handed over all the next incubators to these craftsmen.

When the room and the incubator were being prepared, Qin Tian ordered people to buy eggs again.

Of course, it is better to have more roosters and fewer hens for these eggs.

Relatively speaking, roosters grow faster and are bigger. These chickens are originally used for eating, and bigger ones are more profitable for them.

From the point of view of the egg, if the egg is long, it is more likely to be a hen, and if the egg is round, it is more likely to be a rooster.

After Qin Tian gave these orders, there were many people buying eggs in many villages outside Chang'an City.

The news quickly spread in Chang'an City.

It was early morning, and Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others went out of the palace.

"Duke Yi, I heard that your adopted son is buying eggs to hatch chickens, do you know about this?" The person who spoke was Hou Junji.

Qin Shubao's cheeks flushed slightly, obviously a little embarrassed, because everyone knows that eggs must be hatched in spring and summer, and now it's autumn, and the weather is very cold, how can they hatch?
What's even more ridiculous is that he also heard that Qin Tian didn't use hens. It's really embarrassing for the news to spread.

Now many people in Chang'an are making fun of Qin Tian, ​​he is very shameless as a adoptive father.

However, in front of Hou Junji, Qin Shubao didn't want to admit that this was an embarrassing thing.

"My adopted son is a capable person. There is nothing he can't do that he wants to do. If he can succeed, it will be beneficial to the people of Tang Dynasty."

Qin Shubao protected his adoptive son, Cheng Yaojin also said: "That's right, that's right, that boy Qin Tian can definitely hatch chickens."

Hou Junji chuckled: "You two are very confident in him, but I admire his ability in other things, but I don't agree with this one."

Having said that, Hou Junji smiled: "How about a bet?"

Hou Junji was a little provocative, Cheng Yaojin curled his lips: "Just bet, what do you want to bet?"

For Qin Tian, ​​Cheng Yaojin was too confident, so if Hou Junji wanted to bet, he would.

Hou Junji's eyes moved slightly, and there was excitement in his eyes. He had actually been interested in that Persian dancer for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that Cheng Yaojin bought the Persian dancer one step ahead of him. It made him very disappointed.

Hou Junji smiled slightly: "I heard that Lu Guogong bought a Persian dancer from the West Market, how about we use this Persian dancer as a bargaining chip? If Qin Tian fails to hatch a chick, you take this A Persian dancer gave it to me."

That's why today I found such an excuse to get the Persian dancer from Cheng Yaojin.

When Cheng Yaojin heard that Hou Junji wanted a Persian dancer, he immediately hesitated and felt distressed. He bought the Persian dancer for a thousand coins.

But the words have already been spoken, and if I take them back, I am afraid that I will be made fun of.

"Okay, it's just a Persian dancer, what's the point, but if Qin Tian hatches a chick, what do you lose to me?"

Hou Junji didn't think he would lose, so he didn't take this too seriously, and said, "What do you want?"

Cheng Yaojin thought for a while, and said: "I heard that you have adopted a new concubine, what is it called Sanniang, if you lose, how about giving Sanniang to my old Cheng?"

All along, the concubine's identity and status are not very high, and she can be sent back and forth, so the two of them bet on women, which did not cause shock to others.

In their view, these are commonplace things.

When Hou Junji heard that Cheng Yaojin actually wanted his concubine, he felt a little bit sad. His concubine was named Gongsun Sanniang, who was as beautiful as a flower, and was his favorite among all the women.

Now if he is asked to gamble with Gongsun Sanniang, he will not give up.

But thinking that it was impossible for Qin Tian to hatch chicks, he immediately felt relieved and said, "Okay, it's a deal, and you won't be reluctant when the time comes."

"Hmph, just don't be reluctant."
