Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 221 Frog Breeding
Chapter 220 Frog Breeding
"Brother Xiaowu, fat aunt came to my house today." He Lanshan pulled a stool and stuffed it under her buttocks, lying on Zhao Xiaowu's writing desk and told about it.

All in all, the number of frogs has decreased, and the business may not be able to be done in autumn.

Zhao Xiaowu's brows were also twisted into shallow Sichuan characters, and he only earned three or four months of money. He has returned the money for this house to He Lanshan, and he has also become the head of the house, and successfully obtained the house deed .

Now the business in Datian County has also been opened up. During this period of time, he was preparing to open up business in another county, but he did not expect that He Lanshan would bring such bad news.

Although the number of frogs consigned by Aunt Fat every day has not decreased, but it has become more difficult for her to collect frogs, and some signs of it can be seen.

"Lanshan, what's your idea?" Zhao Xiaowu's eyes fell on He Lanshan's face.

He knows that his cousin is the smartest, especially when it comes to making money, if he doesn't have any ideas, he won't come to him.

"I want to do frog farming, which is to control the temperature and let the frogs grow up in a suitable temperature. If the frogs can grow up in a month, we can harvest a batch of frogs every month, just like we raise chickens and ducks "He Lanshan told her plan.

Zhao Xiaowu frowned, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as raising chickens and ducks."

He Lanshan found that Zhao Xiaowu's brows hadn't been relaxed since she entered the house, so she said, "Of course it's not easy, but brother Xiaowu, don't worry, if the frog business is not easy to do, we can still do it next spring. In autumn and winter, let’s sell something warm like mutton soup.”

"It's even more difficult to start a new business. Let's try raising frogs," said Zhao Xiaowu.

He Lanshan raised her eyebrows and smiled, she also thought so in her heart.

The two cousins ​​lay down on the table and began to think about how to raise frogs. After thinking about it for a while, they decided to raise the frogs in Dahe Village.

One is that He Lanshan and his family in Dahe Village still have a big house. Although it is now used by Old Man Zhao and Cuiniang, it only takes up one room, and there are quite a lot of rooms for them to use.

Secondly, Dahe Village has a lot of fields, so it is easy to find some frog eggs and cultivate them.

"Brother Xiaowu, who do you think is suitable for this job?" He Lanshan stared at him and said.

How could Zhao Xiaowu not know what He Lanshan meant, they wouldn't be at ease with anyone else, the most suitable one is Zhao Xiaowu, and this breeding is not so easy, it needs many trials.

"Let me go, this matter will definitely be settled!" Zhao Xiaowu said, patting his chest.

He was always a poor boy before, He Lanshan gave him this opportunity to get rich, and he also enjoyed the benefits of being rich.For example, if he has a house and a car, or if Zhao Yao is in prison, he gives five qian to the guards every month, and the guards treat Zhao Yao very well.

Never stop making money, Zhao Xiaowu secretly vowed in his heart.

"Have you two cousins ​​finished talking?" At this moment, Zhao Shuangxi slammed on the door.

They had been chatting for an hour before they knew it, knocked on the door and Zhao Shuangxi opened the door and came in. Seeing their cousins ​​just lying on the desk talking, he breathed out and brought the mung bean soup from the tray over.

"The doors and windows are closed. It's not hot. Drink a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat."

Zhao Shuangxi went to open the door. He Lanshan and Zhao Xiaowu had already started to drink mung bean soup. This mung bean soup had been chilled. Although Xu was still frugal as usual and didn't add much sugar, the taste was still good.

"Gulu Gulu" He Lanshan drank a bowl of mung bean soup, and said to Zhao Shuangxi, "Mother, my cousin has agreed to go back to the village to raise frogs. If it succeeds, our business will be able to continue all year round.

"Xiao Wu alone?" Zhao Shuangxi muttered.

"Gu, I'm an adult now, so I'm alone." Zhao Xiaowu smiled heartily, showing a row of big white teeth.

"I have to ask your mother about this matter, you wait here." Zhao Shuangxi went out to look for Mrs. Xu after saying that. Just such a single seedling.

After a while, Mrs. Xu came back with Zhao Shuangxi.

Half of Xu's face was ugly, but the other half of clear and beautiful face stared deeply at Zhao Xiaowu, "Xiao Wu, you go to Dahe Village to raise a farmer, mother will support you!"

"Sister-in-law, are you really assured that Xiao Wu is alone?" Zhao Shuangxi said in surprise.

She always thought that Mrs. Xu was a timid and cautious person, and she was definitely worried about Zhao Xiaowu being alone in Dahe Village, maybe she would follow him to take care of Zhao Xiaowu.

Mrs. Xu smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Xiao Wu is the pillar of our family, and he wants to marry a wife, so naturally he has to earn the money. Besides, he is originally from the village, and his father-in-law is also there. If Xiao Wu If you don’t want to cook, you can eat with his grandfather.”

"That's true." Zhao Shuangxi also nodded.

The matter was thus settled.

But it was only when Zhao Xiaowu started that he realized how difficult it was.

For example, when he walked in the fields, he couldn't find frog eggs at all, because frogs lay the most eggs in spring, and frogs don't lay eggs much in summer.

He remembered that He Lanshan had told him that if he could spare the cost, Zhao Xiaowu would spend money to collect frog eggs, ten cents per clutch of eggs. Apart from collecting them in Dahe Village, he also asked Fat Auntie to collect them in a village farther away.

So every day Zhao Xiaowu can have frog eggs to use for experiments.

He ran across the county town and village. Under He Lanshan's guidance, he knew to use water of different temperatures to incubate frog eggs, but how to control the water temperature became a difficult task.

Finally, the fat aunt suggested that you can put the water in an iron pot, put a charcoal fire under it, and use the residual heat of the charcoal fire to heat the pot.In the past, when the chicks were hatched but the hen was gone, there were also people who hatched successfully in this way.

Zhao Xiaowu didn’t know how many times he failed. He even boiled the frog’s eggs a few times. He almost cried when he saw the black pot in the pot. Fortunately, the huge profit of frying the frog supported him to continue the breeding experiment. go down.

Until half a month passed.

Zhao Xiaowu carried a bucket and rode an ox cart all the way to the county town, smiling almost behind his ears.

After Zhao Shuangxi opened the door, she was hugged by Zhao Xiaowu, almost throwing her down, "Girl, I succeeded, the frog hatched, look, this tadpole."

There are a few black tadpoles swimming in the bucket, full of energy.

He Lanshan heard Zhao Xiaowu's voice and also came out, and she also smiled when she saw the tadpoles in Zhao Xiaowu's bucket. When the tadpoles hatched, it meant that they could raise frogs.

She also gave Zhao Xiaowu a hug, and said, "Brother Xiaowu, you still have a bigger problem, which is how to make the frogs you raise eggs lay eggs!"

"I'm sure I can do it!" Zhao Xiaowu clenched his fists, his shining eyes were full of confidence.
