The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

"Little uncle, making money is not easy. Once you start, you have to persevere." Lin Xiazhi reminded.

"There is nothing easy in the world. Don't worry, Brother Xia. As long as you can make money, it's okay to work harder." Li Mao assured him.

"Okay, then I'll stop talking nonsense. You must have heard of tofu here, right?" Lin Xiazhi said directly what everyone wanted to hear.

"Tofu? You mean the white and tender tofu that sells for eight cents a catty in the county?" Li Mao thought for a while and said.

Qian Ying suddenly remembered that when he was helping to move the New Year's goods just now, there seemed to be some white and tender things, which he had never seen before, so he was not sure if they were tofu.

"Yes, that's the tofu. The tofu is made by our family. The wholesale price is seven yuan a catty. If you take it out for retail, you can sell it for eight yuan, and you can earn a hundred yuan for a hundred catties." Lin Xiazhi said making money The solution is to let Li Mao also go to wholesale tofu to make the difference.

At this time, Li Mao suddenly remembered that some people mentioned tofu as the Lin family's tofu, but he never associated the Lin family with his elder brother's family.

Because Li Mao's health is not good, the youngest Li doesn't let him go out to do part-time labor to sell his strength, so he can only buy some gadgets in the county town and sell them in various villages in his free time. The things you get are limited, and the money you can make is naturally only a little bit.

If the goods being peddled were changed to tofu, how many families were there in the nearby villages, and which families were able to buy tofu? A series of numbers flashed through his mind, and Li Mao gasped.

He knows how popular tofu is in the county and various villages and towns. If he can get tofu from his brother's house and sell it, he will definitely make money.

It's just that this job must be more difficult. Not to mention pushing the tofu around, it takes an hour to walk from Wangshan Village to Linjia Village.

"Brother Xia, thank you so much!" Li Mao couldn't hide his excitement. As long as he has this way of making money, he can push [-] catties of tofu at a time and earn [-] Wen a day. I dare not even think about it.

Seeing Li Mao like this, Li Laoyao and Qian Ying naturally knew that this matter was okay, and they were also happy in their hearts.

"Little uncle, do you know how many catties of tofu our family is going to give you?" Lin Xiazhi saw Li's family smiling happily, and continued to say the following.

Hearing Lin Xiazhi's question, Li Mao's heart fell again. Tofu is so expensive, can you buy too much?He asked nervously, "Brother Xia, is two hundred catties okay?"

"Haha, don't my little uncle think that two hundred catties is too little?"

"Less?" Li Mao swallowed, suppressing his clamoring ambition, he knew his own weight, "It's a lot, I can't push any more, and the amount of tofu that can be bought in the nearby villages is limited, too much I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it."

"Mao'er is right, Brother Xia, don't give your little uncle too much tofu." Youngest Li also thinks so.

According to today's observation, Lin Xiazhi thinks that the Li family is really good. They can recognize themselves in the face of temptation, and their relatives are closer than outsiders. He changed his original idea: "The youngest foreigner, you all misunderstood, where did I say that?" I want my little uncle to sell tofu in various villages, but I want my little uncle to go to Lishui County to sell tofu."

After Lin Xiazhi's words came out, not only the Li family was taken aback, but the Lin family was also surprised.

"At the beginning, before the fame of tofu was established, I asked my eldest brother to drive a donkey cart to Lishui County to sell tofu. Now that the reputation of tofu has come out, the production of tofu at home will increase after the new year. Lishui The eldest brother in the county can’t go there, so it’s just a matter of time for the little uncle to sell it.”

Go to Lishui County to sell tofu?That was the provincial capital, and he had never been there twice in his life.

"Let me explain to you, the donkey cart can pull [-] catties of tofu at a time, and the [-] catties of tofu can be sold out in half an hour in Lishui County, but it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, it takes nearly three hours. The daytime is short, and my little uncle may have to go back to the mountain village at night."

Eight hundred catties of tofu, wouldn't that be eight hundred Wen?Eight hundred Wen a day, how much is a month?Li Mao was shocked by the number he had calculated, but he didn't react.

"However, as we said earlier, our two families are relatives. I will lend this donkey cart to my uncle for a month. After a month, my uncle should be able to afford a donkey by himself. At that time, I will have to use my own donkey." Pulling goods by car." Lin Xiazhi said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem!" After sorting out the quantity, Li Mao agreed without hesitation.

After talking about tofu, Xia Zhi had another idea: "Little uncle is going out to sell tofu, do you want to find something to do?"

Qian Ying looked at Lin Xiazhi in surprise: "Ah, is there anything else I need to do?"

"Of course the whole family should treat each other equally. What my uncle has to do will also be very tiring. Would you like to?"

"Yes, yes!" Qian Ying nodded quickly.

"Then let me ask you a question first, how long does it take for a hen to start laying eggs?" Lin Xiazhi asked.

"If you eat well, it will take at least 4 months." Qian Ying replied.

Qian Ying had raised chickens when he was in You’s house. He knew that if the chickens were fed rice bran and vegetable leaves every once in a while, the chickens would grow faster. If the children in the family diligently went to the fields to dig dragons, the hens would lay more eggs.

The so-called earthworms are actually earthworms. Chickens not only like to eat earthworms, they also like small bugs.

"Does my uncle know how long it takes for our chickens to start laying eggs?" Lin Xiazhi looked at Li Xiu and asked him to tell.

"Brother, our chickens have only been raised for three months and started laying eggs."

"Three months?" Qian Ying exclaimed.

"Well, when we make tofu, there will be a lot of bean dregs left over every day. We cook the bean dregs and feed them to the chickens. Chickens grow fast and lay eggs frequently." Li Xiu explained in detail, Lin Xiazhi told him all this.

Qian Ying's brain immediately realized Lin: "Xia Ge'er, you want me to use the bean dregs left over from making tofu with you to raise chickens?"

"Yes." Lin Xiazhi nodded affirmatively, "It's not just about raising chickens. Uncle, if you can endure hardship, you can also raise pigs. Bean dregs are a good thing. Pigs will grow meat like blowing air after eating them."

Lin Xiazhi doesn't like the smell of pigs, so he doesn't allow pigs to be raised at home, but he knows that bean dregs pigs are also eaten.

This time without Qian Ying nodding, the youngest Li agreed first: "Brother Xia, we are willing. If Brother Ying is too busy, there is still me. I still have the strength to do it together."

"Youngest, raising too many livestock is easy to get sick. Before our village, there was a person who contracted to raise chickens on barren hills. As a result, the chickens got sick and lost their money. I happened to know a way to keep the chickens from getting sick as much as possible, so I said You have to listen to me on how to raise you when the time comes." Lin Xiazhi said the words first, lest if the chickens were not raised well, the relatives would turn against each other and become enemies.

Hearing Lin Xiazhi said that raising chickens would cost nothing, Li Laoyao and Qian Ying hesitated for a moment, but Xia Geer also said that he had a way to raise chickens without getting sick. After much consideration, they finally agreed. After getting down, I decided to raise a few less to try the water at first.

Although Lin Xiazhi had never raised chickens before traveling, he knew that at that time many chicken farms built cages layer by layer, so that one room could raise many chickens, and sprinkled quicklime for disinfection, so he could remember Everything was said in one go.Li Laoyao and Qian Ying were also willing to comply with these strange requests.

After taking a sip of water, Lin Xiazhi also said the remaining method: "Youngest, uncle, you can try to raise earth dragons and feed chickens yourself."

"How can earth dragons be raised?" Everyone only knows that earth dragons grow in the soil, but they don't know how to breed them, and there is no precedent for them before.

"This is just an idea of ​​mine. I don't know if it will be successful. Have you noticed that earth dragons live in relatively fertile soil? I'm thinking that if we catch some earth dragons and put them in the fertile soil that has been cultivated , is it possible to raise a large number of earth dragons?"

Lin Xiazhi had only heard this saying before, but he hadn't tried it himself, so he wasn't sure.But what he said was indeed reasonable, Qian Ying and Li Laoyao felt that they could give it a try.

Chickens love to eat earthworms, and they can lay more eggs after eating them. If they can successfully raise many earthworms, selling eggs will be a big income in the future.

As for how to make the soil more fertile, it is not Lin Xiazhi's concern. Presumably, these old-fashioned methods of growing crops will be better than him.

After talking about Dilong, Lin Xiazhi explained that because the amount of bean dregs is not much now, if you want to start raising chickens on a large scale, you have to wait until the tofu workshop is built in Linjiacun, and there will be a lot of surplus there. of bean dregs.

A month later, the tofu workshop in Linjia Village opened, and my uncle also bought a donkey cart, which happened to be able to transport the bean dregs from Linjia Village back to Wangshan Village every day.

Hearing that there was still a month to wait, Li Laoyao and Qian Ying gradually calmed down. They had a lot of things to do in this month, such as repairing the chicken coop according to Lin Xiazhi's request, and setting up the chicken coop. In the pigsty, I have to try to raise earth dragons.

After lunch at Li's house, the Lin family drove back to Lin's village in a donkey cart. Before leaving, Li Mao was told to remember to come here to fetch tofu on the fifth morning.

After the members of the Lin family left, Li Laoyao and Li Mao and his wife were still immersed in the great surprise. There was a dish of tofu with minced meat in their lunch meal. Reminding them that what happened this morning was real.

The children only thought that the white and tender tofu dish at noon today was very delicious, but they didn't know that the fate of their family would change drastically because of the white and tender tofu.

Only the youngest Li sighed uncontrollably looking at Li Qin and his wife, who were not enterprising. If the second child was not too lazy, Brother Xiu would not let him not help, no, he must force the second child to work hard, otherwise wait After a few years he is gone, what will happen to their family.

After returning from Wangshan Village, the Lin family had nothing to do. They had a good rest at home for two days, and they would start to get busy again on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
