Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

After Zhou Yu and Uncle Chen Jiu finished discussing things, it was already late, so they agreed to get up early the next morning to choose a site.

There is a piece of wasteland to the north of Tongshutun Village, not far from the village, with piles of rocks. Before the drought, nothing grew there except some weeds.

It's a good place to raise rabbits.

However, these rocks still need a little polishing before they can be used.

Moreover, rabbits are afraid of the cold, so if they want to survive the winter here smoothly, they need to be adequately prepared.

Uncle Chen Jiu said, "Sir, I, an old man, secretly wish I could build this rabbit house, surround it with walls, and raise rabbits in it in one day!

"But our village is seriously short of manpower right now. Of the 82 people in our village, less than half are able to move the stones...

"The autumn harvest is coming up soon, and after that, we'll have to plant wheat... I'm afraid it'll freeze before we even get a foot of cover up!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I have considered the things you are worried about and am already recruiting people."

"But that will cost a lot of money, right?" Uncle Chen Jiu swallowed and asked cautiously.

"You don't have to worry about this," Zhou Yu said, feeling better. "Not only you, but also the elders from several other villages came here yesterday, and they all had the same idea as you.

"They also declined the reward for planting trees, so the money that would have been used to reward them could have been used to hire people to grind rocks and build rabbit hutches."

Uncle Chen Jiu was overjoyed and kept thanking Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu measured the size of the land with his feet and felt that it was sufficient for the time being. He then said to Uncle Chen Jiu, "We still need to ask Miss Qin about the specific zoning."

"That's easy," Uncle Chen Jiu turned around and said with a smile to Xu Xia who was following behind them, "Brother Xu, please go and call Yingzi over.

"And your Aunt Zhao, Hu Zi, and An An, no one can be left behind!"

Xu Xia agreed, and when he saw that Zhou Yu had no other instructions, he ran back to the village to call for help.

Soon, not only the four members of the Zhao family, but also several villagers came over.

Zhou Yu told Qin Ying his thoughts.

Qin Ying also measured the area with her feet and said with a smile, "The land is sufficient, but these stones are not easy to clean up."

"I'll handle these matters," Zhou Yu said directly. "I invited you here mainly to hear your views on regional divisions."

Qin Ying looked at the land carefully again, and then roughly explained her idea: "This can be used as a rabbit house. It faces south and can get maximum sunlight in the winter. In the summer, we need to add a sunshade shed. This is simple and we can solve it ourselves.

"The rabbit house is divided into pens, with a pair of rabbits in each pen, where they are raised individually and cleaned regularly.

"We need to build a special rabbit house here for baby rabbits. Mother rabbits can be moved here for special care when they are about to give birth. The baby rabbits can be raised here from the time they are weaned until they reach adulthood.

"We need to set aside some space here to store grass and vegetables for the rabbits. There's no way to do that now, but when conditions get better in the future, we can feed them some specially formulated feed.

"If things get better in the future, we can actually raise breeding rabbits and meat rabbits separately. The rabbits used for meat can be fattened with feed..."

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "Great! That's a good idea!"

Qin Ying's face was a little hot, and she paused for a moment before continuing, "In addition, there is the issue of keeping warm that needs to be addressed. Rabbits are afraid of winter, and it's cold in the mountains here in winter.

"So I'm thinking about whether I should put down a ground dragon. A fire wall won't work. If it burns the rabbit, it could easily get hurt."

Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then lay the ground dragon."

Qin Ying hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Actually, I have a bold idea..."

"Just tell me!" Zhou Yu was very interested.

Qin Ying said: "I think it's best to keep these rabbits on a shelf so that the feces and urine can leak out in time. Firstly, it's easier to clean up, and secondly, the rabbits won't get sick easily because they won't be mixed with the feces and urine.

"We just don't have that much iron here. If we use bamboo or wood, we're afraid rabbits will chew it over time."

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's use bamboo and wood first, and check and replace them regularly. When the profits are good in the future, it won't be too late to replace them slowly."

Qin Ying also knew that this was the only way, so she stopped talking and said, "We also need to build a wall around it and arrange for people to stay overnight."

Zhou Yu nodded: "Well, let's make a general plan. I will discuss the details with Master Chen Jiu."

Qin Ying hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is far-sighted and wise, and Master Chen Jiu is experienced and has naturally considered everything."

Zhou Yu glanced at her, sighed slightly, and said softly, "I agree to all your requests. In addition, I will give you another 100 taels of silver as a reward."

"Think carefully about it. Do you have any other requests? What you've done deserves more. Don't rush to answer. Go back and think about it carefully. You can also discuss it with your family."

After saying that, he walked away without waiting for Qin Ying to answer.

He didn't say that he would slowly repay the money he earned from selling ginseng, but he was afraid that Qin Ying would not agree.

Alas, this person always keeps his distance from him and is on guard against him. I don’t know why!

After returning home, Qin Ying conveyed Zhou Yu's intention and asked Aunt Zhao and Zhao Hu for their opinions.

Before the mother and son could figure it out, they heard voices outside. It was a neighbor coming to visit.

When they were allowed into the main hall, An An was not there, so several neighbors couldn't help but ask a few questions.

Aunt Zhao pointed to her neighbor to the west and said, "He's gone over there to feed the chickens!"

The neighbors laughed and said, "Our An An has really found his way into Master Zhou's good fortune!"

After chatting for a while, they gradually turned the topic to the stony ground. "That piece of wasteland has never been cared for or cared about. Why did Uncle Jiu accompany Master Zhou to see it today? Did they find something underground?"

"Master Zhou even called Yingzi over to talk. I saw Yingzi gesturing. What was she saying?"

Aunt Zhao frowned unhappily and was about to retort, but Qin Ying smiled and said, "My dear aunts, don't worry. Master Chen Jiu will tell everyone about this matter in a few days.

"Please forgive me for keeping you in suspense for now. If I tell you in advance, there will be no surprise."

The few of them lingered for a while longer, but when they saw Qin Ying was determined not to talk, they felt bored and stood up to say goodbye. After returning to the courtyard, they looked at the rabbits for a while longer and couldn't help but sigh, "These rabbits are really different every day!

"If you ask me, you are a truly blessed family. Otherwise, how could you have such a wonderful daughter like Yingzi and such a good child like An'an for nothing?"

Aunt Zhao finally smiled. "I've finally had a happy ending after all the hardship! I suffered so much in the first half of my life, so I deserve to enjoy some happiness in the second half!"

After seeing them off, the smile on his face vanished as he turned around. He spat on the ground and said, "What a bunch of long-mouthed, long-tongued bastards!"

Qin Ying put her arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Why bother getting angry with them, mother? No matter how they chew, we won't lose a piece of meat, and it's them who are left with a grudge!"
