"Okay, come here and register how many ducks each of you wants to raise. I will ask Bai Mo to teach you how to build a duck house later. When the duck house is built in two days, you can go to my place to collect the ducks. Seedling."
After listening to Su Yu's words, the villagers lined up one by one and did not dare to raise more. The family with the most reported five. In the end, Su Yu counted them and found that the villagers had taken more than 10,000, and she had two left. There are more than 10,000 of them, but it’s not impossible to raise them.
After registering, Su Yu went back home, and the villagers dispersed to do whatever they needed to do. Bai Mo went to each villager's house to give instructions on how to build a duck house.
Not long after returning home, Wang Kuan came back with Yin Jian. Wang Kuan hadn't spoken yet, but Su Yu saw the excitement on Wang Kuan's face and knew that he must be looking for a lot of piglets.
"Girl, I found more than three hundred piglets, all weighing about twenty kilograms, but the price is a little higher, only one tael of silver each."
Speaking of this, Wang Kuan was a little uneasy. The price was half higher than usual. He was afraid that the girl would not agree, but he had already made a reservation with someone.
"Well done, the money is well spent. Tomorrow you will take the villagers to bring back the piglets. The pighouse in our village should also be put to use."
"Yes, girl."
After informing Wang Kuan, Su Yu went to the village chief's house and asked the village chief to bring back the more than forty piglets he had ordered.
At this time, Village Chief Jin and his old wife were busy in the backyard.
"Village chief, are you at home?"
As soon as he heard Su Yu's voice, the village chief hurriedly responded in the backyard, put down his work and came to the front yard.
"Girl, why are you here?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I have found more than 300 piglets over there. I can take people to bring them here tomorrow. You can also get the more than 40 piglets you found."
The village chief didn't expect that Su Yu would find so many at once.
"Miss Su, where did you find these piglets? Why are there so many of them?"
"I asked Wang Kuan to find it in a few small villages nearby."
Village Chief Jin slapped his head, wondering why he had forgotten this, but it was too late to say anything now.
"Okay, I'll bring back the more than forty piglets tomorrow."
"I'm here to tell you one more thing. The pigs are coming back, but the workers on the pig farm haven't been decided yet. If there are any suitable ones in the village, I'll order two first. Is there any need for the piglets now that they are still young? So many people.”
Village Chief Jin thought for a while.
"I think Old Man Jin is quite suitable. Even though he is old, he is quite efficient at work, and he is at home alone and has nothing to do. He will definitely be happy to let him go to the pig farm."
"Then let him be the one."
"There is another one named Jin Dayou. He is usually very hardworking and hardworking. I think he is pretty good."
Jin Dayou? Su Yu thought for a while and made sure she didn't remember such a person.
"His wife Yan works in your workshop."
After what the village chief said, Su Yu had some impression. It seemed that during the meeting just now, there was a dark-faced man standing next to Yan. At first glance, the man looked like a boring gourd and didn't like to talk much.
"Just the two of them. If the pig farm is too busy in the future, we will recruit more people. Each person will be given one tael of silver per month."
"Miss Su, is one tael of silver a month too high?"
"How much does the village chief think is appropriate?"
Village Chief Jin thought for a moment and wanted to say 800 fen, but when he thought about the female workers in Miss Su's workshop, each of them had 30 fen per person per day. In one month, that would be 900 fen, which was only 100 fen short of one tael. , the wages of the men recruited by the pig farm are not as high as those of the female workers in the Su family workshop, so the two people recruited will definitely feel uncomfortable.
"One or two, just one or two. I'll go tell them right away and ask them to come to you tomorrow, no, later. If Miss Su has anything to explain, just tell them."
"Then, village chief, you are busy, so I will go back first."
Not long after Su Yu returned, Old Man Jin and Jin Dayou came over.
"Miss Su, the village chief asked us to come over and learn how to raise pigs with you."
"Grandpa Jin, Uncle Jin, I'll tell you slowly. Forget it, let's go to the pig farm to talk."
"OK."
Both of them have honest and honest personalities, and they won't say anything except what they do. Su Yu took the two of them to the pig farm. There were no sows to raise at the moment, only piglets, so Su Yu took them directly to the row of pig pens for fattening.
"The piglets brought back tomorrow will be kept here. We will raise ten piglets in a circle first, and divide them into pens according to the size of the pigs."
Su Yu said as he took the two of them around the pig pen and then to the place where the pig food was cooked. There was almost no swine fever in ancient times, but pig diseases still existed, and Su Yu did not dare to be careless, so the pig food fed to pigs was cooked, which can effectively reduce germs.
The building here is not small, with a lot of space in the middle, and a row of large stoves in the direction of the wall.
"The piglets brought in tomorrow are still small. You can cook them in two or three pots in one meal. This wooden cart here is specially used to pull pig food. It can go away with just one push. You can cook it in the pot Pour the pig food into the wooden cart to let it cool, then push it through the aisle in the middle of the pig house and pour the pig food into the pig pens on both sides, which saves effort."
The two of them tried it, and it turned out just like Su Yu said, it would go away with just one push. There were four wooden wheels placed underneath, so they were not afraid of it falling over, as long as they grasped the direction.
"If you don't have firewood, buy it from the villagers. You will record the amount of money in the account. It doesn't matter if you can't write. You report to me. Now the work you have to do every day is to go up the mountain to collect pigweed and cut the pigweed back. Break it into pieces and cook it in a pot before feeding it to the pigs. Then you clean the pigsty once a day. As you saw just now, I laid a bamboo pipe over the pigsty. It is very convenient to use water. After you clean the pigsty every day Then rinse it with river water, and then pay attention to the piggy's spirit. If the color of the feces is abnormal, report it to me and I will find a solution."
Su Yu spoke seriously in front, and the two people following him also listened carefully.
"Don't worry, Miss Su, we will definitely do a good job."
"You are all introduced by the village chief, so I feel reassured. In this way, you can clean up here today and get familiar with the place. If there is anything you don't understand, come and ask me."
"OK."
When Su Yu got home, she went to the house to write a letter. She planned to go to the city tomorrow to ask someone to take it back to Yujia Village. Since she came to Kyoto City, she has written a letter and sent it back every month. She doesn't know the letter she wrote last month. Did your parents receive it?
In Yu Mansion, in the Yihe Courtyard, Yu Zheng poured all the food delivered from the big kitchen today into the lotus pond to feed the fish. He only ate the snacks he bought on the way back from work, and the water he drank was all boiled by Qing Lin himself. . No wonder Yu Zheng was so careful. He still remembered his mother's appearance when she died. At that time, he didn't know that her mother died of illness. Although he was only six years old at the time, he had been smart since he was a child, and the servants in the house No one was on guard against him, and he soon found out that his mother died due to poisoning. He told this matter to a steward who was loyal to his mother. When the steward heard that it was okay, he immediately went to complain to his father.
I remember that when he was young, he hid under the window and eavesdropped, wanting to see what would happen to the vicious woman who harmed his mother. But he never expected that, even though the evidence was in front of him, what he got in exchange was for his father to let him go. He was ordered to drag the steward down and beat him to death. He didn't know how he got back to the yard, but at that moment he understood that he would never have a father again. His father would not believe that the poisonous woman would harm his mother. relative.
