Ye Laosi said this with great confidence, and he seemed to be full of confidence.

But when I got home the next day and saw what my second brother was going to take me to do, I suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Because Ye Laoer took him directly to turn over the manure pile.

"As the saying goes, a good harvest depends on manure!" Ye Lao Er said, "We just came back here, and we don't have any pigs or anything, so we have to cherish this hard-earned manure.

"We have to turn the soil over several times. Otherwise, if the manure doesn't spread well by next spring, the crops we plant will be burned to death."

Ye Laosi was not unaware of this. When they were outside the Great Wall, they all worked together in the fields.

But what he used at that time was the fertilizer that Ye Laoer had already fermented.

The smell of fermented fertilizer will actually be much lighter, not as smelly as it is now.

Ye Laosi found two pieces of cloth to plug his nostrils, but it still couldn't block the smell that kept coming into his nose.

It is necessary to turn over every area to ensure that all the fertilizer can ferment evenly.

After working for a whole morning and returning home, Ye Laosi felt like a dehydrated fish, dying.

Mrs. Ye was preparing to make lunch and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Ye Lao Si waved his hands weakly and said, "Sister-in-law, I have no appetite. You guys eat."

Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "You got smoked, right? Okay, it's like this at the beginning, but you get used to it over time. Look at your second brother, he's fine.

"Then I'll leave a bowl for you in the pot. You can heat it up and eat it whenever you're hungry."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." said Ye Laosi.

Ye Lao Si gave Ye Lao Er a thumbs up and said admiringly, "Second brother, you were the one who did the composting at home before. You are really amazing."

Ye Lao Er squatted at the door, smoking, and said with a smile: "Next year, when you see our crops grow better than others, you will understand the benefits of composting."

This year, because there was not enough manure at home, Ye Laoer had to think of many ways to solve the problem. When he had nothing to do, he went to the mountain to get some fallen leaves and mixed them with fertilizer, for fear that there would not be enough next year.

"It's no use if we have less in the first year. Next year we'll raise some chickens and ducks, and get a few pigs. Then we won't have to work so hard."

Speaking of raising chickens and ducks, Mrs. Ye immediately agreed, "That's right. Back in Huinan, we had the most chickens and ducks in the village, and we could collect a lot of eggs every day!

"Nowadays, we have to go out to buy eggs for the children, which is a waste of money.

"There are no pigs to slaughter this year. A few days ago, I was thinking that when the weather gets colder and the air freezes, I should buy a pig and slaughter it myself.

"Your eldest brother can do it anyway. If you ask someone else to do it, not only will you have to give them a red envelope, but you will also have to treat them to a pig-killing meal."

Ye Lao Er clapped his hands and cheered: "That's great. I'll go ask around and see if anyone in the village wants to sell a pig."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be limited to the village. I'm going to start going to the surrounding villages to prepare banquets soon. I'll see which village has the best pigs and buy from them.

"This year, our family has made a lot of money, so we can have a prosperous New Year!"

Mrs. Ye's words made Ye Lao Er couldn't help but suck in his saliva.

Ye Laosi, who was lying on the kang, suddenly thought of the smell of chicken, duck and pig feces, and turned over and lay on the edge of the kang, retching.

Ye Laoer patted his back helplessly and brought him a glass of water to rinse his mouth.

"Old Four, if you really can't stand this, why don't you just learn something else to make a living.

"With just this little fertilizer we have, it wouldn't be hard for me to do it myself."

"No, second brother, if you can do it, I'm sure I can do it too." Ye Lao Si was very strong-willed at first, but after working for a whole morning the next day, he still vomited everything he ate.

Even Old Lady Ye was alarmed by this. She came over and said, "You're just like your father. You're not cut out for farming. Just give up!"

Although Ye Laosi was not convinced, his body's reaction forced him to compromise.

Ye Laodao said: "I think it would be better for you to follow me up the mountain to hunt."

"Brother, when are you going up the mountain?"

"Wait until it snows and then go." Boss Ye opened the door and observed the weather outside. The air was filled with a dry and cold smell. "I estimate that there will be a heavy snow in the next two or three days."

This is why the weather in the capital is warmer than outside the Great Wall. If it were outside the Great Wall, the mountains would have been blocked by heavy snow by this time of year.

Boss Ye’s prediction was quite accurate, as it snowed heavily that night.

The snow fell heavily all night and stopped at dawn, and the sun even came out.

The winter sun shines on the white snow, as if someone has sprinkled a handful of gold foil, shining with a light golden glow.

This kind of weather is perfect for hunting. Animals like to come out to forage in such weather, and the snow will make their whereabouts nowhere to hide.

Early in the morning, Boss Ye just got up and was startled by the person outside when he opened the door.

Ye Laosi was squatting at the door, holding his bow and quiver, and said pitifully, "Brother, take me hunting. I promise to listen to you."

It seems that he is really scared by the composting thing.

After breakfast, Boss Ye tidied up his bow and arrow.

Mrs. Ye baked a stack of pancakes for the two of them, wrapped them in a clean white cloth, and asked them to take them up the mountain to eat.

"Let's go, let's go." Boss Ye said as he shouldered his bow and arrows, but instead of going out, he went back into his house and said to Qingtian, "My dear, Dad and Fourth Uncle are going hunting!"

Qingtian immediately said, "Dad will definitely be able to catch a lot of prey!"

Boss Ye leaned over and kissed his daughter on the cheek, saying happily, "Thank you for your good wishes!"
