Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

In the evening, the Li family gathered around the goats.

When sheep came to his home, Li Dalang excitedly took a fish knife and cut a basket of hay on the hillside to feed the sheep.

"Baa, baa, baa!" Arriving in the new environment, the goat seemed restless, bleating but refusing to eat grass.

"Why isn't it eating?" Li Dalang raised the hay in his hand in frustration.

"Is it too cold? Should we build a thatched hut for it?" said Boss Li.

Li Laosan said regretfully: "When I bought it, it refused to eat grass. The woman said it was because a lamb had just died. Now I don't think it is really sick."

"You believe that?" Li Erlang snorted, "I'm not saying anything bad about your uncle, but no one would believe that. In my opinion, that woman is not a good person. She clearly registered three taels of silver at the pawnbroker, but she dared to ask for five taels of silver when she saw that you guys were strangers. If it were me, I would turn around and walk away and ignore her just because of her behavior."

The Li family members became worried. If the sheep was a sick one, they would suffer huge losses.

Two and a half taels of silver was enough for them to save for decades.

Old Mrs. Cai was distressed: "You guys just squander your money when you have it. I didn't keep an eye on you and you dared to squander it! That's how it goes. Sooner or later, that little bit of money will be gone! You guys can't manage the household well, why don't you just hand over all the money?

Old Mrs. Cai swept her sharp eyes over Boss Li, scaring him so much that he quickly shrank his neck and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

He didn't spend the money indiscriminately. It was the third brother who did it. What does it have to do with him?

Old Lady Cai turned her gaze to the "culprit" Li Laosan, "Laosan, you bastard, was it you who gave the bad idea?"

Li Laosan glanced at Li Yuer, but he didn't say it wasn't him. He said dejectedly, "Mother, we didn't know it was a sick sheep."

He couldn't help but resent Xiao Jiang in his heart. He gave him so much reward, but he still helped the evil woman to cheat them of their money. The people on the land were so cunning and not honest at all.

Li Yu'er was not panicked at all. She had made a guess before, and the facts were probably pretty close to her guess.

She hurried to the kitchen shed and took out the salt shaker and soybeans.

When Mrs. Cai saw that Li Yu'er was about to put the salt back, she quickly stopped him, but her tone was obviously much better than that to Li Laosan, "Yu Bao'er, sheep don't eat salt, put the salt back quickly."

Li Yuer poured a small pile of salt into the sheep's feeding bowl and explained, "Grandma, listen to me first. Xiao Jiang from the dental shop told me that if sheep don't eat, you can feed them some salt. The sheep will be cured after eating the salt."

These words were not said by Xiao Jiang, but were the idea that Li Yuer came up with based on the knowledge from his previous life.

"Hahaha!" Li Erlang burst into laughter and said, "This liar in the dental shop can even make up such a lie..."

Then, he was so shocked by the scene before him that he couldn't utter the rest of his words.

As if it smelled the salty taste, the dairy sheep stood up, wagging its tail, walked to the food bowl, stuck out its tongue and began to lick the salt inside.

"This, how is this possible? A handful of salt in exchange for a sheep?" Li Erlang rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Old man Li was also surprised and said: "I have never seen anything like this before. It turns out that sheep eat salt, just like humans."

Boss Li laughed and said, "As long as you are willing to eat, there will be nothing wrong with you."

Old Mrs. Cai also relaxed her frown and said with a smile, "We are not from the land and have never raised livestock, so naturally we don't know as much as others. This time we have learned a trick, and we may use it in the future."

Old man Li agreed: "Yes, you can learn as long as you live."

Li Yuer had visited a farm in his previous life, and a large breeder said that sheep are fed salt regularly.

Salt can regulate the balance of bacteria in the sheep's stomach, increase the sheep's appetite, and provide the sheep with the trace elements needed by the body. At the same time, salt balances the salt and alkali inside the sheep's body, which can enhance the sheep's metabolism and immunity.

The goats shown on TV climbing cliffs are also doing this to lick the salt on the rocks to provide the body with essential nutrients.

After licking the salt, the sheep began to eat soybeans, and then ate grass. It seemed to have a good appetite.

The Li family members were happy as long as the sheep were not sick.

Li Yuer also taught her family the technique of milking goats. In her previous life, in an outdoor survival program hosted by Li Yuer, there were segments about several kinds of milk.

Li Yuer dared to squeeze some milk from the sheep only after they had eaten and drunk their fill. While she was squeezing the sheep's milk, she demonstrated to the Li family. The pure white milk was squeezed into the bucket, which was a feast for the eyes of the onlookers.

"This is goat's milk. It smells really strong." Li Meir was learning how to milk goat's milk while she disliked the strong smell of goat's milk.

Both mutton and goat's milk have a strong smell. People who like them find them delicious, while people who don't like them neither eat mutton nor drink goat's milk.

In the past, processed mutton and goat milk had little smell of mutton. In this dynasty, the technology for removing mutton is backward, so pure natural goat milk will definitely have a smell of mutton.

"It would be better if there were bitter almonds or ginger slices," said Li Yuer.

"There are no bitter almonds, but there is ginger. Grandma bought some a few days ago." Li Meir said, thinking of the dried ginger hanging in the ice room.

"Then Sister Mei, please bring some over. When you cook goat milk later, put some in. It won't smell so bad and it can also keep away the cold."

The sheep were temporarily placed next to the firewood pile in the kitchen shed. Although there was a smell, there was nothing they could do as it was freezing cold and it would not work to tie them up outside.

Old Man Li and his friends plan to go up the mountain to cut wood, cut some straw, and build a sheep pen tomorrow.

Uncle Li said, "Tomorrow, I will take Dalang to Nanshan to cut down some trees and build a sheep shed."

Old man Li nodded and added, "Then I'll take Erlang to Nandian to cut some reeds and build a roof for the shed."

Li Erlang was watching Li Yu'er cooking goat milk when he was suddenly called out. He frowned and felt unhappy. Cutting grass would delay his making of oil lamps. Each oil lamp cost 500 coins. How much silver would he lose?

Li Yuer saw that he was unhappy and said, "Making money is important, but caring for your family is also important. I heard a story from a storyteller before. Do you want to listen to it?"

The teahouses in the town that can afford to hire storytellers are all very expensive teahouses, and most people simply cannot afford to spend money there.

Whenever the storyteller in the teahouse told stories, some people would gather below the teahouse to listen.

The Li family had basically no chance to hear stories, so when they saw Li Yuer wanted to tell a story, they were naturally willing to listen.

So, Li Yuer told them the story of the stingy man Eugénie Grandet. Of course, the character's name was changed to Li Tieji.

The reason why Li Yuer told this story is that he is afraid that the Li family will become more and more wealthy in the future, and there will be people who are obsessed with money, abandon family and friendship for money, and even make counterfeit goods, release harmful substances, and lose their moral bottom line.

After hearing the story, Li Meier sighed repeatedly, feeling sorry for the tragic fate of the poor mother and daughter. She couldn't help but express her thoughts: "This Li Tiezui is really obsessed with money. What does he want in his life? His family is almost driven to death by him. He doesn't even want to eat or wear clothes. Who is he saving so much money for? What can he take into his coffin in the end?"

"Yes, this Li Tiezui is so bad. Do you think there really is such a person in the world?" Li Dalang said angrily.

"Who knows? We don't have that much money. Anyway, when I am rich in the future, I will definitely treat my family well. If I am not, wouldn't I be a beast? As a human being, righteousness comes first. An unrighteous person will be struck by lightning!" Li Laosan said indignantly. I don't know where he learned this from, but his speech has a strong gangster flavor.

Only Li Erlang remained silent. He was a little scared. Would he become a bad guy like Li Tiezui? Probably not. No, definitely not.

The goat milk was ready. Li Yuer scooped a bowl of it and gave it to the manatee first.

"Mother, the goat milk is ready."

At this time, the manatee was hungry. When he smelled the strong milk fragrance for the first time, he opened his dark eyes and looked over, staring at the bowl and waving his little fist, as if to say: Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!

"Yu Baoer, our family has been blessed with you these days. It's because your parents are useless that you, a child, have to bear so much."

Mrs. Fan held her son in her arms, took the bowl and spoon, and began to feed him.

Getting recognition and gratitude for your efforts is the foundation for a stable and long-lasting relationship. Li Yuer felt very satisfied with Bandaoer A'niang's gratitude.

Only if they recognize her, appreciate her, and love her, can she make up her mind to continue living in the Li family.

"Mother, Yu Baoer is your biological daughter. Father and mother treat Yu Baoer well, and Yu Baoer will treat you well too. In the future, Yu Baoer will make a lot of money, be filial to you, and let you live a good life."

Li Yuer looked at his younger brother who was eating greedily, his heart softened and his eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled.

As Mrs. Fan looked at her daughter who was becoming more sensible and capable day by day, and at her son in her arms who was becoming fatter and stronger day by day, her heart was filled with happiness and gratitude.

Being able to marry into the Li family and give birth to such a capable daughter is the luckiest thing in her life.
