Chapter 478 Suspicious

Missy was a little dazed, "It's just... three meals a day of forage, wheat straw, bean straw, and green grass, occasionally adding a few handfuls of beans and carrots, it likes to eat..."

Old Ma said with a smile: "The feeding is very fine, no wonder he is so fat."

"Then... what's wrong with it?" Missy didn't understand, since it was fed well, where did the problem come from?
Papa Ma rubbed the donkey's belly, "You little donkey, you haven't done any work."

"Uh..." Missy thought about it, "I went shopping in the town a few days ago, and it carried me, and nothing else... There is no work at home for it to do."

Old Ma said cheerfully: "No wonder, this donkey is suffering from a serious illness. Fortunately, it's not too serious. You can let it do more work every day."

Missy was confused and asked again and again before she finally understood, it turned out that donkey's disease is...constipation!
Mixixi hurriedly asked Ma Laodi for his experience in raising livestock, especially how to avoid donkey's syndrome.

Father Ma didn't shy away from anything, and said to her straightforwardly: "The fodder you feed is fine, but you should pay more attention to it in the future. It is best not to eat half-dried forage that is not wet, and it is constantly broken. This kind of forage is the best." It’s easy to cause donkeys to get sick, and wet and rotten forage can’t be fed. Beans are a good thing, you can add it, but don’t have too much, it’s easy to bloat..."

Patiently told her a lot, Missy carefully took a pen and paper to write down one by one, thinking that this donkey is really a born lowly life, the feed is too fine, and the work is too little, so it is prone to failure.

After finishing the work, Missy felt that she couldn't let Papa Ma go in vain, he was a great help.

Mixixi took more than a dozen copper coins and stuffed them into Old Ma's hands as the consultation fee, but the old man refused to ask for it, saying that if he had to charge money for such a trivial matter, he would not be able to be a man in the village in the future!

Is it that serious?

Missy was sweating and embarrassed. She rubbed against others' bullock carts several times before, but she didn't give any money...

At this time, Lu Shen ran out of the house, holding a sealed wine bottle in his arms, "Grandpa Ma, here is this for you. My sister and I don't drink."

Papa Ma's eyes lit up, and this time he took it unceremoniously.

Inspired by this, Missy hurried to the kitchen to wrap a bag of peanuts in oiled paper, and handed it to Papa Ma, "You can enjoy drinking with this."

Papa Ma thinks this gift is a bit generous... It's wine and peanuts, but he's a little greedy...

Dad Ma smashed his mouth and said: "Okay, then I will take it... If you need any baskets at home in the future, just come to me and my old lady."

Missy nodded with a smile, and sent Papa Ma back.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Ma Lao seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said, "Girl of the Lu family, since there is no work at home, why do you suddenly want to raise a donkey? This donkey looks easy to raise, but in fact it costs a lot of food throughout the year. Miles, you bring up a child by yourself, and you have no income. No matter how big the gold and silver mountains are, there will be a day when they will be empty, girl, don’t buy them indiscriminately in the future, the days are still long, don’t you think?”

When Missy heard this, she was very moved. She felt that the people in the lotus village were sincere and kind. If you treat him well, he will treat you well.

"Hey, Grandpa Ma, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future." Missy replied with a smile.

Papa Ma was relieved, and went home with peanuts and wine.

Missy turned around and went back to the yard. Little Lu Shen was looking at his donkey with a frown. Seeing that Missy came back, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, why don't I take the donkey out for a walk."

Missy smiled and shook her head, "No need."

"But Grandpa Ma said that the donkey needs to walk more and work more..." Xiao Lu's expression was very tangled.

Missy touched his little head, "You forgot, our house has a stone mill."

Wouldn't it be over if you let the donkey grind the stone?This is standard!When I first bought it, I was reluctant to let it work. I thought it was still small, and doing coolies was always like cruelty to animals, but who knew it would make troubles instead.

Missy took out the beans, peanuts, walnuts, and sesame seeds she had hoarded—well, it’s considered a job, she should grind out all the dry goods in the past few days.

"Sister, I'll help you." Little Lu Shen was very obedient.

"Okay, come and help my sister break the walnuts, okay?" Missy handed him a small hammer, "After cracking open, pick out the walnut meat, be careful, don't hit your hands."

"Okay!" Xiao Lu replied happily, moved a small stool, and sat beside Missy, smashing walnuts.

The donkey walked slowly around the stone mill, and Mixixi and Lu Shen sat next to each other, one peeling peanuts and picking beans, the other smashing walnuts and peeling walnuts, it was very harmonious.

The stone mill makes a creaking sound, with a soothing rhythm and a unique charm of the countryside.

While picking peanuts, Missy paid attention to Lu Shen from time to time. Seeing that he was knocking very seriously, and also careful not to hurt her hands, she was really obedient and sensible, so she gradually felt relieved and let him continue knocking. .

Missy recalled what Father Ma said before leaving...

Not without reason.

It is estimated that my own large-scale purchases have attracted the attention of the villagers, but who does not buy things when buying a new home?But if things go on like this, it will definitely arouse suspicion, right? …Maybe some people really think that they have hidden gold and silver mountains, otherwise, how can they spend money so recklessly?
In fact, to Missy, those coins are just game coins...

Of course, you won't feel bad when you spend game currency.

Besides, she doesn't plan to live forever, as long as the game currency is enough to support her through 13 years.The village's expenses are low. Today the owner buys some vegetables, and the west family cuts a piece of meat tomorrow. The 500 taels of silver are more than enough.

It's just that...you still have to find a way to make money.

As Ma Laopa said, there is no income in the family, only going in and out, definitely not.In case the thief thinks about it because of this matter, it is really not worth the loss.

Even if the villagers in Hehua Village are very simple, don't they have the best ones like the Caos?So... she still has to make a good plan...

She doesn't know how to farm or grow vegetables... The crescent lotus pond I bought is convenient for planting lotus roots. However, when harvesting lotus roots, they need to be soaked in cold wet mud to dig out the roots. It usually takes several days to dig. Could she bear that kind of suffering?
Let's keep fish...

Fish farming is good. The fish are under the water. No one knows how many fish are raised, and no one knows how many fish are sold. She can catch three or four fish at a time and take them to the town to sell. Anyway, she doesn’t rely on this to make money. Just put on a show and don't let people think that your family's money is blown by the wind.

Go back and ask where there are fish fry for sale.

Missy put her chin on her cheeks and was absorbed in thinking, and without paying attention, she put the bad beans she picked out into the pile of good beans.

"Sister." Lu Shen called her.
