Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Wheat is different from beans and millet. In this era, every household in Shengjia Village grows the latter two crops. Millet and beans are coarse grains and are more greasy. But wheat is ground into flour, which is a fine grain. It is very good whether you keep it for your own consumption to improve your life or sell it in the market.

Xiao Lan was holding a bucket to give water to the two mules and horses. With two tall and strong mules and horses at home, she still cherished them. While listening to Sheng Xuan chatting with the villagers, Xiao Lan thought that when autumn comes, everyone will see the bumper harvest of wheat in her field. It is estimated that many people in the village will follow suit and plant wheat next year. Then her family must keep the wheat well. As wheat seeds, it is estimated that her family will make a lot of money.

The land on the farm was planted with beans and millet. After the crops were planted, fish fry were released into the family's fish pond and water chestnuts and lotus roots were planted.

"Look how tired my father has become this spring." Xiao Lan said to Zhang, "Mom, let's go to the market tomorrow and buy two pounds of pork ribs. We can stew them and give my father a good nourishment."

Sheng Xuan walked into the house and just in time heard his daughter say that she wanted to buy him some pork ribs to nourish him. He felt relieved and said with a smile, "How am I thin? I don't need any nourishment. I can live with you guys every day. I just eat scallions with soybean paste every day, and it's delicious."

After the spring plowing, the busy life does not end. Although there are long-term workers at home, Sheng Xuan is still worried and has to go to the fields from time to time to check. Either help weeding, or help thin out the seedlings. If the crops are not growing evenly, they have to replant. When it is dry, they have to carry water to irrigate the land, and when there are insects, they have to catch them manually. The long-term workers have to work in the fields every day. When there is urgent work and they are too busy, the family has to ask short-term workers to help.

Spring ploughing marks the beginning of a busy year for farmers. At this time, the weather is sunny and the wind is not so cold, so farmers have already changed into light clothes.

Xiao Lan walked through her own vegetable garden and came to the pond, looking at the surrounding fruit trees and the small fish swimming in the water. She took out a handkerchief and poured the biscuit crumbs in it into the fish pond. Soon, small fish swam over to compete for food.

The two farmhands in charge of the fish pond rushed over, bowed to Xiao Lan, and called her "Second Miss".

"You guys just go about your business. I'll just take a look and leave." Xiao Lan waved her hand and told them to go about their own work.

At this time, some lotus leaves have grown in the fish pond. When the wind blows, they are swaying and swaying, which is very beautiful. Xiao Lan thought that when autumn comes, there will be lotus roots and lotus seeds to eat, which is very good. You should know that Liaodong Prefecture rarely produces lotus seeds and lotus roots. Generally, they are brought by vendors from the south. If some wealthy families want to eat them, they can buy them, but they are not the freshest. Looking at the few lotus leaves in the fish pond, thinking of the delicious lotus roots and lotus seeds, these are rare goods in their Liaodong Prefecture. No matter how much of these things are produced, they will not worry about sales.

Although Xiaolan was a girl, she had natural feet, so it was not difficult for her to walk. When she was walking back leisurely, she passed by the woods and saw her family's flock of ducks and geese. The ducks and geese bought by the family were kept in the woods. At this time, Zhang and Xiaoting were picking up duck and goose eggs in the woods with baskets.

Zhang picked up the things for a while, then stood up and pounded her waist. Seeing Xiaolan coming from a distance, she smiled and asked, "Xiaolan, where have you been?"

"Mom, I just went to take a look at our fish pond." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

"Go to the vegetable garden and pick some rapeseed and pea tips so we can cook lunch," Zhang said. "Your sister and I are busy right now."

Xiao Lan thought, fortunately Shen Liu arranged someone to look after the rabbit factory, otherwise it would be too difficult for them to handle it alone.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's military advisor has arrived. This time when He Ming came, he was much more polite and easy-going than before. He even talked more than before. Not only Xiao Lan, but Sheng Xuan, Zhang and Xiao Ting also felt it.

"Master Shen Liu heard from his subordinates that the rabbits have started to brood, so he arranged for me to come and take a look." He Mingyu said with a smile.

It turned out that they were here to collect the first pen of rabbits. Xiao Lan, who was obedient and connoisseur of what he said, understood the hidden meaning behind He Mingyu's words. Xiao Lan's rabbit farm was very successful, and the rabbits were raised very well. Seeing that the first batch of rabbits were about to be released, He Mingyu came this time just for this matter.

In the past few months, Xiao Lan has invested a lot of money in the rabbit shed. Now the first batch of rabbits have grown up. She had agreed with He Mingyu at the beginning that the first batch of grown rabbits would be given to General Shen.

Thinking of the payback period of rabbit meat, Xiao Lan couldn't help but sigh. She had to wait until the rabbit meat was made into jerky and she went to Quanshui Town again to find the merchants traveling between the north and the south.

Alas, you can't make money easily in any business. I think of those merchants who work so hard running from north to south. Although there is a shortage of meat in the south, I don't know how the sales of these rabbit meat merchants will be when they return home. It's not easy to do any business.

In the afternoon, Xiao Lan took He Ming to the rabbit farm to see the first pen of rabbits being released.

"Hey, why are there so many people here?"

"Today is the first batch of rabbits from our factory, so everyone is here to watch the fun."

The rabbits that He Ming had sent were ready to be slaughtered.

He Mingyu heard that he could catch rabbits directly from the shed, so he rolled up his sleeves excitedly and was eager to try it.

"Don't do anything reckless," Xiao Lan reminded He Mingyu when she saw his expression. "Although the rabbits are kept in the shed, they are still wild and not easy to catch. If you get bitten by a rabbit and the general blames you, I can't afford it."

He Mingyu was a scholar after all, so he had to control his temper and stand aside to watch.

Xiao Lan came forward to help, tying up the limbs of the rabbits caught by the soldiers and putting them in a basket. She counted the number and recorded them one by one. The rabbits that did not meet the standards were thrown back into the shed. After a lot of trouble, the first batch of rabbits released was 380.

Although it's not a lot, Xiao Lan is already very satisfied. "The next batch of rabbits will be about three to five times as many as this time."

"Well, you'd better find a way to raise seedlings. I'm afraid I won't be able to send you baby rabbits here in the future." He Mingyu said.

He Mingyu still spoke in such a reserved way. What he meant was that the disaster of rabbits on the mountain had been resolved.

Xiao Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and nodded in agreement.

People from all over the surrounding villages know that this is where Shen Liu settles the disabled veterans. The money they earn from the work they do will be the army's rations in the future. This place may also be the veterans' final resting place.
