Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Busy and regular days always pass faster.

Father Liu is busy with the house building work every day. He goes out early and comes back late. In the morning, he goes to see the bricks that were baked the night before, and then goes to see the village chief and his men building the house, giving them some pointers from time to time.

We invited everyone to have lunch at noon, and then continued building houses and making bricks in the afternoon.

The farm was finally built after twenty days.

The current farm is divided into three areas: the pigpen, the chicken pen and the spare room.

The pigsty is completely bricked except for the wall at the back. The front wall, which faces the yard, is only built to the waist level. It's OK as long as the pigs inside can't escape.

Two pigs can be raised in a pigsty. The walls between the pigsties are almost waist-high. Two piers are built in the front to cover the roof and build the beams.

The roof is covered with straw to ensure that the pigsty does not get wet when it rains.

There are two or four compartments in the two rows of pig pens, and there are two larger pig pens. The piglets can be raised together when they first arrive to save space. After the piglets are castrated, they can be raised in separate pig pens.

By keeping them separately, any problems can be discovered in time, and if there is swine fever, they can be rescued so that the whole army will not be wiped out. It is also convenient to clean and it will not be too dirty.

Next to the pigpen is the chicken coop built against the courtyard wall. The isolation of the chicken coop is similar, but the compartments are larger. Six compartments are made according to the proportion.

Using adobe bricks was too extravagant, so Liu's father decided to use bamboo to weave a fence to isolate the space. Chickens can jump faster than pigs, so the gaps in the wall would not be isolated.

These chickens are about to fly into the sky.

The space in the chicken coop is a little bigger, and there is a nest inside each compartment.

It is also convenient for hens to lay eggs. Only half of the roof is closed to block rain, and the other half is left for the chicks to bask in the sun for photosynthesis.

This way the chicks will grow well and healthily.

I don’t know what to raise next to the chicken coop yet, so it’s left quite empty. I can arrange it according to my needs later when I’ve decided what to raise.

In this way, two-thirds of the open space next to their house was used, all behind the house. There was still some space next to the house, which was reserved by Liu's father for building a house in the future. It could be used to build a courtyard house with almost two entrances.

If they distribute the space reasonably, it should be enough for them to live in.

Liu Hao went to the city to visit Huang Jun before. Huang Jun was very happy to see Liu Hao come to see him: "Haozi, why are you here? How are you guys doing now? I've been quite busy lately, and I was thinking of taking a leave next month to go back and see you guys!"

"It's okay. You didn't come back for the New Year. We came here once during the New Year. We heard that you went to the next county with Doctor He to look for medicinal herbs. I came here this time because I want to consult you about something. Do you think it's convenient now?"

Liu Hao looked at the people coming and going in the clinic and asked in a low voice.

"Then wait for me a moment. I'll go talk to Doctor He. We can talk outside."

Huang Jun ran to the counter and said a few words to the old man who was seeing the patient. Then he took Liu Hao outside the hospital and found a wonton stall to sit down.

There weren't many people around, and not many people came out to eat wontons at this time, probably around three or four in the afternoon.

"Tell me what's going on. How can I help you?"

"It was Aunt Qi who asked me to ask if there was any prescription for pigs to take after the castration operation. If there was, I would take some home and boil it to feed the piglets. People at that time did not castrate pigs, so piglets could not grow up, and boars tend to have a strong smell. If this method can be spread, it will benefit the country and the people. Maybe we can use this method to get close to that official."

"It's okay. Aunt Qi also performs surgery. She can do it. I'll prescribe two doses of Chinese medicine to reduce inflammation for pigs. After castration, just mix it with pig feed and feed it twice. Pigs have strong survival abilities."

"Yes, I came here to get some strong liquor for Aunt Qi. She plans to use the strong liquor to distill a higher-proof liquor, which can be used as alcohol to disinfect pigs. I don't know how to do it specifically. Since you can get me some medicine, get me one first. We only have two piglets at home now. I castrate both pigs. One dose of medicine is enough for a day."

Huang Jun couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Hao talking about castration. People who didn't know would think that the two of them were talking about nonsense. "Okay, you come with me to the clinic later, I can prepare the medicine quickly. By the way, what are your plans in the future? I don't have much time to spend with you, if you have any plans, please tell me. I still want to hang out with you in the future. Although Doctor He here is a good person, his apprentices are not easy to get along with. If the pharmacy I gave to Doctor He was not valuable, my life here would not be easy."

"Uncle Renyi has already planned a short-term plan. You should study hard here. When we are strong enough, we will definitely develop and expand our business. Not to mention the county, we can also expand to the prefecture and the capital in the future."

"How can a business be so big? In this dynasty, among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have the lowest status."

"Don't worry about that. Uncle Luo is also cultivating his own power. Later on, our people will also take the imperial examination. Besides, we know so many advanced methods. Are you afraid that we can't find a backer for ourselves?"

"Oh, by the way, I heard in the county that there is a talented person in Northwest Province, and the books he wrote are very popular. But I felt something was wrong when I heard it. What Journey to the West? He must be from the same hometown."

Liu Hao already knew that Liu Qianxue's ex-boyfriend made money by selling picture books. "There must be other fellow villagers. Uncle Renyi said we are not afraid. We just need to get along peacefully. We will not recruit those with bad character, but if they take the initiative to provoke us, we are not afraid. Sister Caixia and her family have opened two shops in the county town, and their business is good. If you are free, I will take you there to have a look next time."

"I've heard of it. Is it called Malatang?"

"Yes, you have been there?"

"No, I've only been back for two days. You wouldn't have seen me if you came earlier. I can't leave recently. I'm busy every day. We've imported a lot of medicinal materials. I'm learning how to prepare them. These are real skills that will be useful in the future."

"Okay, I'll go to Sister Caixia's place later and tell them to send someone to bring you some braised food."

Huang Jun was very happy. He had eaten quite well recently, but the taste was hard to describe. However, since he had lived through the apocalypse and experienced famine, he was no longer as picky as before. "Thank you very much. I have been eating very little recently. Let's go. I don't have much time, and the clinic is very busy. I also need to get you some medicine."

"Okay, let's go."
