Look at the kitten's lanugo, is it a beautiful herringbone pattern, or is it a tabby cat?

Song Yan then recognized that these were the litter of kittens they found in the forest yesterday.

No.

The little kitten hadn’t opened its eyes yet and couldn’t even crawl, so how did it appear at his doorstep?

Suddenly, Song Yan looked back as if she had a premonition.

A big cat holding a kitten in its mouth was squatting in the corner of the doorway, as if it was stuck, not knowing whether to go in or retreat.

Case solved.

Oh boy, it's you.

Song Yan couldn't help laughing out loud: "I was wondering why I didn't see you for a while, it turns out you went to give birth to kittens."

Hearing him speak, the big cat walked up lightly, put the kitten in its mouth gently at his feet, then tilted its head and meowed softly at Song Yan.

Song Yan looked at the kitten at her feet, a little overwhelmed.

What does this mean? Is this a scam?

The big cat squatted in front of him and didn't leave. It just looked at Song Yan quietly with its pair of golden cat eyes.

When such a cute big cat looks at you, even a person with a heart of stone will soften instantly, not to mention that Song Yan likes cats very much.

In his previous life, he was too busy and often flew around the country, so he had no time to take care of a cat, and that’s why he never had one.

It's rare that I have money and free time now, so it's no problem to raise another cat or a litter of cats.

"Bring all your cubs in here," he said to the big cat, and then led the donkey back.

The big cat seemed to understand what he meant. It lowered its head, picked up the kittens, and carried them into the yard one by one.

At this time, Gousheng, who was in the house, came out following the smell. Seeing the big cat in the yard, he pricked up his ears vigilantly and made a low threatening sound in his throat.

Seeing this, Song Yan reached out and pushed its head, waving her hand in disdain: "Go away, don't scare the kitten."

Gousheng let out a wronged "wool", his eyes full of accusations.

Song Yan had no choice but to touch it soothingly: "You are the eldest in the family, so just give way to your younger brothers and sisters, okay?"

No, in terms of seniority, Gousheng should be the uncle.

Oh, that's not important.

The big cat remembered the silly dog ​​and walked leisurely past it, with its tail raised and deliberately wagging it, which touched Gousheng's nose.

Gousheng couldn't help but sneeze, and his puppy eyes widened.

This is really too much bullying of dogs!

Song Yan quickly hugged Gousheng and took him into the house: "Don't be angry, Gousheng, let's go inside to see our sister."

Song Wanzhou just came out to hang the sheets: "Brother, didn't you say you were going out?"

"Something happened." Song Yan was happy and said with a smile.

At this moment, Song Wanzhou also saw the big cat and smiled: "It's the big cat, it's here again!"

"More than that." Song Yan pointed to the flowerbed, "Look."

Song Wanzhou looked up at the flower bed and saw a group of furry kittens huddled together in the grass.

She asked in surprise: "Brother, where did this kitten come from?"

Song Yan touched his nose and said, "If I say that they came to my door on their own initiative, would you believe me?"

"Brother, are you kidding me?" Song Wanzhou looked suspicious.

Song Yan explained: "The big cat carried the kittens and put them in front of our house."

He went on to say, "It's going to be cold soon. These kittens have just been born. If they were left in the wild, they would probably freeze to death."

Hearing this, Song Wanzhou immediately said nervously: "Then big brother, can we let the kitten stay at home?"

"That's what I mean. Anyway, there's enough food at home, so just raise him."

"Then I'll go build a nest for them." Song Wanzhou quickly hung the sheet in his hand on the clothesline, walked into the house, and went to look for old clothes.

But when it came to building the nest, Song Yan was in trouble again.

The house is too small and there is no place even for a cat bed.

The dog's leftover nest is in the house and the dog smell is too strong. If you set up a cat's nest in the house, the kittens may feel uneasy when they smell the dog's leftovers.

If it is set up in the kitchen, the kitchen is narrow and it is inconvenient to turn around, and it is easy to step on the kitten.

Finally, I built a nest for the kittens behind the door, under the bread kiln, where the firewood was originally piled.

"You guys live here temporarily. When we move after a while, we'll find you a new place to stay."

The weather hasn’t been particularly cold recently and it hasn’t rained, so it won’t get cold if you temporarily place it outside.

If the temperature drops in the next few days, you still have to move the cat bed into the house.

The big cat rubbed its fur in the nest, obviously satisfied. It then picked up the kittens and put them into the nest one by one.

It lives in his house now and can be considered a domestic cat. He can’t keep calling it “big cat, big cat”.

Song Yan stroked the big cat's chin and said, "Let me give you a name."

He looked at the mottled pattern on the big cat's fur, so he said, "How about calling you 'Big Flower'?"

The big cat licked its paw and meowed, as if it acknowledged the name.

In order to welcome a new member to the family, Song Yan specially prepared a delicious cat meal for Dahua.

After noon, Song Yan had something else to do and had to go to town.

Before leaving, he opened the jar and checked the persimmons inside.

After the dried persimmons are dried, they are stored in jars to protect them from frost for a full half month.

Now open the lid, the persimmon skin inside is covered with a thin layer of icing sugar, it looks like it has been covered.

He picked up a persimmon and started to chew it. The flesh was soft and glutinous and tasted sweet.

While chewing on persimmon cakes, Song Yan drove his donkey cart to the town, negotiated with someone for a batch of blue bricks and timber, and agreed with them on the time for delivery.

He also paid three taels of silver as a deposit.

After paying the deposit, he calculated the remaining money in his mind, and then silently took out an apple from the refrigerator.

Before this, Song Yan had been living a carefree life, and his biggest wish was that his family member Zhengdu could pass the imperial examination smoothly and become an official so that he could protect him in the future.

But who told him to find someone who spends money like water? If he continues to be so lazy, he won’t even be able to support his wife.

Song Yan does not plan to sell a large number of apples at one time.

He seemed to be doing business with Manager Li of Xiangfenglou, but in fact, the boss behind Manager Li was the real buyer.

An apple costs one or two taels of silver, so the other party obviously didn't buy it for himself, but most likely used it as a gift.

If he finished the business with Manager Li, he would turn around and sell the apples to Delicious Zhai.

It would be embarrassing if the two restaurant owners sent the apples to the same place.

Scarcity makes things valuable. If he sells a large number of apples to others, the value of the apples will be greatly reduced.

So he thought clearly that these apples could not be sold in Yunshan County.

Song Yan already had a plan in mind. He planned to ask Deputy Gang Leader Zhong to help sell the apples when he went out to deliver goods next time.

In the capital city, there are many wealthy businessmen, and one hundred apples are just a piece of cake for them.

Besides, the end of the year is approaching, which is the peak season for gift-giving.

Apple is a New Year gift, whether it is given to partners or used to maintain relationships with superiors. It is an appropriate and polite gift.

Song Yan had a little plan in mind and went to Ma the butcher's stall.

He arrived late and the butcher shop was almost closing, with only some scraps left.

The butcher Ma recognized him and said, "Little brother, why did you come just now? The meat is all sold out. If you want bones, there are still a few left."

"I was delayed this morning by something," Song Yan chatted with the other party for a while, and then looked at the scraps on the chopping board, which were some offal such as pig liver.

"I want all of these. Give me a few more big bones. How much silver do you want in total?"

The butcher laughed, his eyes narrowed into slits, and the flesh on his face piled up like a kindly Maitreya Buddha: "Just give me a few coins, they are just worthless scraps anyway."

Song Yan handed over five coins and said, "Uncle, I also want a pig's head, liver and other offal. If there are any ribs, please leave me a few."

Ma the butcher responded readily, "Okay! I'll definitely keep it for you. Remember to come early tomorrow to get it."

When Song Yan was about to go back, he remembered that the salt at home might not be enough, so he had to buy a few more pounds of salt. He planned to pickle meat and make sausages tomorrow.

The weather is getting cooler, and it's time to dry the bacon.
