Farming at the beginning, I rely on business to counterattack and become a princess

Chapter 7
The story of Wen's family raising seedlings was passed on to the second, and then to the third, so that half the village knew about it.

Wen Dao's uncle, Wen Zhong, called Wen Dao over and questioned him carefully, and at the end he told him: "If you don't know anything about farming, just ask your brothers, you can't fool around. This is the first time, so we have to think more about it.”

In front of the uncle, Wen Dao naturally only praised him, but when he turned around and returned home, he continued to follow Wen Xiang.

Next, Wen Xiang instructed Wen Dao how to take care of the seedlings. After a month of careful cultivation, and another round of farm manure, Wen's seedlings grew strong and vigorous.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors in the Qingming Festival, the brothers and sisters of the Wen family transplanted the raised seedlings into the fields together, and then only needed to manage the fields well.

In the village, the seedlings in the fields of each family also grew up one after another, but the density was inconsistent, and the seedlings were weak and thin. Compared with the seedlings of Wen's family, everyone felt a little bit disappointed.

Uncle Wen Qi from the neighboring field sighed even more at Wen's seedlings: "I really can't tell, you are a scholar, and you are also a good farmer. Next year, Uncle will learn from you."

"Seventh Uncle, you're flattering me. I don't know how this seedling will grow. I need to learn more from Seventh Uncle." Wen Dao said modestly.

"Hehe, okay, neighbors, if you need help, please help." Uncle Wen Qi is a hearty person.

Wen Laosi regretted it, he regretted not raising seedlings with Wen Dao, and now he was very depressed compared to the "crooked melons and dates" in his own field.

The work in the field came to an end temporarily, but the three taels of silver still disappeared, and the sword of Dachmos would fall off at some point, Wen Xiang wondered if he should find another way.

I heard that the half of the money from the landlord's house has been kept, saying that it is only for the girls to make up for.

After much deliberation, she decided to spend the money.

I heard that he was busy working in the field every day, so he didn't know what the little girl was thinking.Wen Xiang picked it up without asking, and went straight to Aunt Ma's house at the head of the village with [-] Wen.

Mrs. Ma's husband's family is also named Wen. There are about ten people in the family, so there are many things to make a living. One of them is to raise a group of hens to lay eggs and hatch chicks, and then sell them in the town to supplement the household income.

As soon as Wen Xiang arrived at the door of Mrs. Ma's house, she heard a dog barking before she entered, which made her take a few steps back. Fortunately, someone immediately yelled at the big dog.

After entering the door, smelling the fragrance, he called people crisply, and greeted the old lady, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law of Mrs. Ma's family.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face with your hand.In everyone's eyes, although Wen Xiang went crazy for a while, it seems that everything is fine now.

"Wen Xiang, why do you have time to come to your aunt's house today?"

Mrs. Ma is choosing vegetables in the yard. Now every household is busy with spring plowing, and very few people hang out at other people's homes. Children in the village who are less than ten years old are considered laborers, and they have to do some work.

"Ms. Ma, my brother asked me to come to your house to buy some chicks." Wen Xiang lied without changing his expression.

"Oh, that's a good idea. I just laid a new litter. All of them are fat and fat. Let's go, I'll take you to see them." Seeing that there was a business, Aunt Ma's face was full of smiles.

When raising chickens, the first thing is to lay eggs, of course the female must be selected.

Wen Xiang pondered for a while and asked, "Ma'am, how do you sell this chicken?"

"Five cents apiece, you can pick whatever you want."

"Ma'am, I only have eighty coins, and my elder brother wants me to buy twenty of them back," Wen Xiang said timidly, blinking her eyes.

"Cough, cough, it's not expensive to charge five cents for such a good chicken."

"Oh, then I can only go to someone else's house and ask." Wen Xiang sighed pretentiously, turned around and pretended to leave.

"Hey, hey, smelling the fragrance---" Mrs. Ma immediately stopped her: "This chicken is really strong, look, if you look carefully, you will know how many eggs will be laid in the future."

"I also want to buy aunt's chicken, but I really only have [-] Wen, I'd better go to another place to buy it, so I can't let aunt suffer." Wen Xiang smiled.

"Look at what you girl said, if you want to raise chickens, you can pick them from the aunt, and you will be sure to lay more eggs."

Aunt Ma thought: Others come to collect chickens and only give her three Wen a piece, and she can only sell them for four Wen when she brings them to the town, and she has to pay for the round trip. made money.

Thinking of this, Aunt Ma felt relieved: "Okay, they are all from my own family, and I will pick twenty of the best ones for you."

"I choose by myself, I want to choose the beautiful one." Wen Xiang didn't wait for Mrs. Ma to do it, and immediately ran into the chicken coop to pick it up.

She looked at the good one, and lifted the chicken upside down, pretending to check the size of the shins, and fiddled with the chicken's feathers to see the color and luster.

In fact, I looked through the back door of the chickens, secretly checking for small grainy protrusions, and finally picked [-] without protrusions, and these were hens.

Wen Xiang wondered, how do people here distinguish hens from roosters?But her choice is definitely no problem, and she paid [-] Wen to Aunt Ma and returned with a full reward.

Wen Xiang has a chicken coop at home, but Wen Dao lost all the chickens raised by her parents in the past, and now she has decided to organize the whole job of raising chickens, at least she will have eggs to eat in the future.

Chicks are fluffy and fun to hold, but it takes a lot of work to raise them.

Chickens are very sensitive to weather changes because they are young, and they will die if they are not careful.

For this reason, Wen Xiang decided to build another small chicken coop. He picked more than a dozen long pieces of wood from the firewood pile and tied them tightly with hemp rope to form a chicken coop. The bottom of the coop was covered with thick leaves. Put another layer of dry dead leaves on top, and finally cover the top with a coir raincoat to prevent rain.

The location of the chicken coop was also carefully selected, and finally a high-lying position with a slight leeward of the chicken coop was selected, and the bottom was raised with stones to ensure that it was warm and not too humid.

Wen Xiang worked for a long time before finally settling the little chick in place, and finally prepared water and food for the little chicken.

If the chick wants to grow fast and strong, he cannot eat only rice bran and vegetable leaves, so he must find a way to give it some protein.

After smelling the fragrance and thinking for a while, I went out to Chun'er's house.

Chun'er's house is next door, she is a little older than Wen Xiang by two years, she has had a lot of contacts with Wen's family in the past, now she is picking vegetables in the yard.

As soon as Wen Xiang entered the door, she greeted with a smile: "Sister Chun'er, I'm here to play with you."

"Hey, Wen Xiang, you are here, come in and sit down." Chun'er straightened up and was about to support Wen Xiang into the room.

"No, I'll pick the vegetables for you." Wen Xiang said and stepped forward to help Chun'er pick the vegetables.

"Sister Chun'er, this rapeseed is so green, it's sure to be delicious." Wen Xiang smiled and flattered her first.

"Then you take some home to eat." Chun'er is a generous person, and he speaks without ambiguity.

"Thank you then. By the way, where did the stone go? Why don't you see him?"

"He's playing with the little donkey next door. Are you looking for him? I'll tell him to come back." Chun'er turned her head and yelled at the neighbor on the other side: "Stone—stone—"

"What are you doing?" After a while, the stone poked its head out from the next door.

"Shitou, I am looking for you." Wen Xiang took the initiative to greet Shitou.

"You're a girl, what do you want me for?" Shitou snorted.

"Stone, do you know where there are earth dragons?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Oh, you don't know if you don't know, and I won't laugh at you." Wen Xiang is very familiar with dealing with this kind of brat.

"Who said I don't know, of course I know, how can I not know!" Shitou jumped.

"Really?" Wen Xiang expressed doubts with her eyes.

"Of course, I'll take you there now." A small trick made Shi Shi immediately prove his innocence.

Hehe, Wen Xiang followed behind the stone and smiled silently. Dealing with little kids is really not challenging, and a sense of superiority arises in my heart.
