Chapter 134 Try This Road

There was no one else in sight except the road beneath my feet.

This time, the man opposite nodded silently in affirmation.

"Then may I ask if you have any extra dried meat that you can sell to me?"

Although she felt a little uneasy, Zhao Chunhua tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

After all, I don't look like the fragile type of woman and should not easily get into trouble; besides, people who are truly wealthy will have better means of transportation instead of walking across the area.

"We don't have any stock at the moment, but if you really need it, we'll have a market on the first day of next month or the fifteenth of every month. You can go and see for yourself then. There will be many mountain folks like me setting up stalls to sell all kinds of mountain products in the west of the town."

The man answered sincerely.

After hearing this explanation, "Okay, I'll go to the market myself then."

Zhao Chunhua immediately responded that she thought the proposal sounded good.

Then, the simple man turned his eyes to the bulging bag in his hand, which was obviously filled with something, and asked the other party, "Since you need food supplies so much, I wonder if live rabbits would be more to your liking? These are fresh prey caught this morning."

When Zhao Chunhua heard this, an attractive picture immediately emerged in her mind - sizzling roasted rabbit meat beside the campfire. "How much do you plan to sell it for?"

There was a hint of anticipation and excitement in her tone.

"If you want to raise them, it's 30 coins per pound; if they're alive but unlikely to survive, it's 25 coins per pound; if they're already dead, it's 20 coins per pound."

The stall owner explained, pointing to several bunnies in different states in front of him.

"There are still some to raise? Do you have any here?"

Zhao Chunhua thought that although she didn't plan to take care of the little rabbits herself, she could find other reliable people to take charge of their daily care.

After all, there are still a few subordinates at home who are willing to help and share this responsibility.

The man nodded seriously to indicate that he did have some: "Yes, I still have some."

"I was very careful when I caught them. I caught five little rabbits in total, and only one of them didn't seem to survive for long."

The man went on to say that this meant that the rabbit would be sold at a minimum price of 25 cents per pound.

"In that case, could you please pick one male and one female for me? And help me deal with the one that's about to die?"

Zhao Chunhua mentioned that although she loved eating rabbit meat, she had no idea how to prepare a whole rabbit.

Normally she could kill a chicken or something, but a rabbit...

I have absolutely no idea how to start.

The other party readily agreed to her request: "No problem, since the purchase quantity is large, I will help you process it for free this time."

From the tone it seems that if the purchase quantity is small, additional processing services will require additional payment.

But this time she bought enough so she didn't have to worry about any extra costs.

Well, anyway, there is no need to increase the expenses this time, so it’s quite cost-effective.

When she finally returned home, the basket in her hands contained not only two little rabbits that needed care and breeding, but also a tightly wrapped bag of fresh rabbit meat.

The rabbits and rabbit meat cost a total of 170 copper coins.

Afterwards, she called the brothers Shu Yanyou and Shu Yixian.

"The reason I called you here today is simple - I bought a pair of new rabbits specifically for breeding, and I plan to let my brother try to raise them."

She said calmly

road.

"Please don't refuse immediately. The children at home are growing up and need more support. The salary from working in the fields and teaching is obviously not enough."

Her words were sincere and practical.

To the eldest brother, "Considering that your wife is currently pregnant and you are often not at home, let your younger brother give it a try this year. When the baby is born safely next year, if your younger brother does well, he will pass on his successful experience to you; if the effect is not good but you still want to try, that's fine, then I will buy another pair of breeding rabbits for you to try."

She tried to arrange it as fairly as possible.

"No matter what, please remember one thing: even if you gain something in the future, you must never quarrel with each other and destroy the relationship between brothers."

This was her advice, hoping that they could always stay united.

The two brothers immediately expressed their agreement without any hesitation.

"It has been decided. We should not publicize this matter too much. Because once people know about it and start breeding, it may be difficult to find buyers even if the pigs are raised in the future."

She reminded.

Zhao Chunhua stressed that anyone can study how to raise these animals privately, but anyone is not allowed to follow her lead.

After all, as an ordinary person, she has not yet reached the level of sharing the opportunity to make a fortune with everyone.

My family has not yet completely escaped poverty, so how can I have the ability to teach others how to make money?

"I promise to do my best to raise them well."

Shu Yixian made a promise, his eyes revealing firm determination.

"Rabbit is timid, so you need to find a quiet place to raise it. You can't feed it grass with dew on it, and the water you drink must be boiled."

Zhao Chunhua briefly made a few suggestions. She remembered that a classmate of hers raised rabbits in elementary school. When she went to play there, the classmate told her that raising rabbits was quite troublesome.

As a result, not long after, the classmate neglected the rabbit and it unfortunately died.

This incident caused a small discussion among the students.

If she hadn't happened to meet Zhao Chunhua that day and brought up this topic, she might not have even thought that there was a way to make money by raising rabbits.

After all, everyone is usually busy with their studies or helping with chores at home, and few people pay special attention to these things.

Although rabbits are small animals that require very careful care, and are especially sensitive to temperature and food selection, they reproduce very quickly.

As long as you can find the right method and stick to it, you can earn some pocket money in a year, at least enough to buy a few new clothes or some books for study.

After hearing this, Shu Yixian nodded thoughtfully and decided to give this approach a try.

He picked up the basket and walked back home side by side with his eldest brother, thinking about how to start raising these little guys next.

In order to prevent his elder brother from worrying about whether his sudden impulse would succeed, he did not forget to comfort him along the way, saying that this was his first time trying to do this and it might not work.

After listening to his brother's explanation, Shu Yanyou did not discourage his enthusiasm. Instead, he smiled encouragingly and said, "Then I wish you success this time. If it really works, we will follow your experience in the future to raise it, so that we don't have to grope for a long time before we can get started."
