Chapter 57 Raising Rabbits
After they went down the mountain and returned home, their family members were shocked and happy to learn that they had caught so many rabbits.
Seeing that there were both big and small rabbits, Leng Qi and Leng He brought up the idea of raising rabbits again, and this time Leng Yan couldn't refuse.
Because her father was cold, he took out several adult rabbits and looked at them. He found two males and two females, and one of the female rabbits was pregnant.
With no other options, Leng Xun took the basket that previously held the chickens, ducks, and geese and used it to temporarily house the rabbit.
Leng Qi and Leng He were finally able to raise rabbits. They jumped for joy and said that in the future they would help pick grass and feed the rabbits, chickens, ducks and geese at home.
Seeing how happy they were, Leng Yan calmly accepted the fact that they were going to raise rabbits, and at the same time reminded them of some things to pay attention to when raising rabbits.
Now that they have decided to raise rabbits, they have to find a place to put them. After discussing with her father, Leng Yan decided to go to Carpenter Chu's house and order a few cages. This would prevent the rabbits from digging holes and escaping, and would also allow for easy cleaning.
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, so Leng Yan immediately went to Carpenter Chu's house.
The Leng family and Carpenter Chu have an old friendship. The cabinets and tables when the shop opened, the lunch boxes before, and the rabbit cages now were all made by Carpenter Chu, who made a small profit from it.
Therefore, when Carpenter Chu heard her request, he didn't even take the deposit, and just said that she could come and pick up the goods tomorrow, and he would do it urgently tonight.
Leng Yan thanked him repeatedly, and when she was leaving, Carpenter Chu's wife, Aunt Mu, warmly saw her out the door.
As they walked, they praised the Leng family for being kind. Not only did they often take care of their business, but they also said that the Leng family had just started to help the villagers as soon as their times got better.
Leng Yan was confused for a moment, until Aunt Mu said that she had just cut some leeks and amaranth from her own vegetable garden and sold them under the big locust tree in the village for seven or eight copper coins, then she realized what was going on.
So she said, "Aunt Mu, you are too polite. It's nothing. We are harvesting vegetables, so it doesn't matter whose vegetables we buy.
We are all from the same village, so we should take care of our own people first."
"Yeah."
Aunt Mu smiled and responded, patting her chest and said, "Miss Yan, if you need anything in the future, just call me.
Auntie will definitely help in any way she can."
"Okay, then Auntie will have to work hard to grow more vegetables in the future."
Leng Yan was polite but also hinted at some sweetness, "After all, in the future, the amount of vegetables my family uses will only increase, not decrease."
Hearing her say this, Aunt Mu smiled even more happily, and kept praising Leng Yan for her ability and the Leng family for their kindness.
After chatting for a few more words with a smile, Leng Yan left the Chu family and walked towards the big locust tree in the village.
At this time, the progress of harvesting vegetables under the big locust tree has come to an end, and only a few villagers are left coming to sell vegetables.
After collecting the vegetables from these families, Leng Yan helped load the vegetables onto the ox cart while inviting Village Chief Lan to their house for dinner to thank him for his help.
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Lan waved his hand and refused, saying that his wife had fried peanuts for him tonight and he wanted to go home to be with her.
He also said that he, as the village chief, should thank the Leng family, thank them for not holding grudges and thinking of the villagers in everything, which made his family's life better and they were willing to lend a hand.
After hearing this, the father and son of the Leng family stopped trying to persuade him and waited to go home.
Her parents and sister-in-law had already braised the pig's head and offal. Leng Yan cut a large bowl of it while it was still hot and asked her uncle and brother to deliver it to the village chief's house.
Pork head and offal go best with wine. During dinner, Old Man Leng and Leng Xun and his son drank two cups of wine with them and felt that they would not change their lives even if given to gods.
After a good night's sleep, I had to get up early again the next day.
When Leng Yan woke up in the morning, he remembered the leeks and amaranth he had harvested yesterday, but he had not had time to pick and wash them.
Moreover, all the ingredients and fillings in the shop need to be replaced today, and the seasoning needs to be re-made. I’m afraid it may be too late.
She thought about it and hurried to Aunt Liu's house.
When she arrived, Aunt Liu had just dressed and was about to go to the Leng family.
When she saw Leng Yan running over in a hurry, she thought she was late and couldn't help but smile apologetically. Seeing this, Leng Yan waved his hand and quickly explained the reason.
"Do you want Ying to help in the shop as well?"
Aunt Liu was very surprised.
Leng Yan nodded, "Yes, auntie, the shop will only get busier and busier in the future. With more manpower, we won't be so flustered and make mistakes.
And don't worry, Auntie, if Sister Ying comes to help, I will pay her the same wages. How about 500 copper coins a month?"
Yesterday she discovered that Sister Zhan Ying was thoughtful and capable, and was exactly the right candidate.
But when Aunt Liu heard this, she was shocked and waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, this won't work. How can a half-grown girl like Ying be offered such a high price?"
Zhan Ying is fourteen years old this year, only one month younger than Leng Su.
You have to know that normally it is a question whether anyone would want a 14-year-old child, especially a girl, to work, but they certainly cannot pay her such a high salary, not to mention that Leng's family is only doing part-time work.
Aunt Liu felt that she was paid too much, and she had to do more work every day to feel that her monthly salary was worth it.
Hearing Aunt Liu say this, Leng Yan knew that Aunt Liu was not afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she said, "Whether Aunt Liu can succeed or not depends on what Sister Ying says.
After all, it is Sakura herself who has to endure the hardships in the shop."
"Well, what's the point of being tired or not? No matter how tiring the work in the shop is, it can't be that tiring. It's nothing to us farmers."
Seeing that she insisted, Aunt Liu went back to the house and called her eldest daughter.
When Leng Yan saw Zhan Ying coming out, he told her what had happened in general.
It was still early, and except for those who were rushing to the shops, few villagers were up.
Zhan Ying was woken up in a daze. After hearing what Leng Yan said, she was so happy that she felt like she was dreaming.
With 500 copper coins a month, she could do any job, no matter how hard or tiring it was.
Zhan Ying's face flushed with excitement, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Leng Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Ying, go wash your face, we'll set off soon."
Aunt Liu wanted to say something else when she heard this, but Leng Yan said directly:
"Aunt, the wages are not high. Even if we don't hire you, we still have to hire others. After all, the shop is too busy to handle it, so we can't save this money."
Leng Yan looked at Aunt Liu firmly and said, "And Aunt Liu, you have to believe that the labor of you and Sister Ying is worth the wages."
Leng Yan discovered that most women of this era have a common problem - they are not confident, and are even humble enough to ignore their own emotions and their own efforts.
Even if some women are stubborn and aggressive, no matter how aggressive they are, they just want to get verification and attention repeatedly.
This is the sorrow that this era has bestowed upon women. Take it slow, Leng Yan sighed silently in her heart.
After everyone packed up their things, they boarded the ox cart and headed for the town.
