Jiedi was so enthusiastic about raising rabbits that she didn't care at all about finding a husband, leaving Xu Lanzhi helpless.

If we were to force her to find someone to live with, given her fiery temper, she could tear the house apart. But she doesn't know anything about this rabbit thing; we'd have to ask Tang Qiqi.

When Xu Lanzhi told Tang Qiqi about it, Tang Qiqi laughed and said, "Mother, all the daughters you raised are more ambitious than you. Third Sister also wants to start her own business. But raising rabbits isn't cost-effective now. If a war really breaks out, how many people can afford to eat meat every day?"

So this accident at the chicken farm might actually be a blessing in disguise; it allows us to control the number of chickens.

However, my third sister is really patient with pets. I have a better idea; I'll talk to her about it now.

After Tang Qiqi finished speaking, she ran out like a gust of wind.

Xu Lanzhi chased after them, shouting, "Children, what are you all planning to do? What are you going to ask your third sister to do? Give me a heads-up first. Are you all going to leave your mother behind and go it alone?"

Tang Qiqi turned around and said, "That's right, Mother. I think it's easier to work with my sister. If you don't take over the work at the Dashuwan rice base, I'll ask my third sister to work with me."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared.

Xu Lanzhi sighed, "Whose traits did these children take after?"

Wang seized the opportunity to say, "See? Now you know you can't let them do whatever they want. They're all so wild now, you can't control them. How are they going to find husbands?"

Xu Lanzhi replied in the same tone she used when accepting the gift, "The children are all capable now, so there's no need to worry about them finding husbands. Don't fret."

Over here, Tang Qiqi had already found Jiedi and asked, "Third sister, I heard from Mother that you're going to raise rabbits."

The receptionist, his face full of anticipation, said, "Yes, not only should we raise them, but we should raise them on a large scale, like a chicken farm."

Tang Qiqi said with distress, "This might not be easy. Rabbits are not as easy to raise as chickens. They are afraid of the heat in summer and the cold in winter. If you want to raise them on a large scale, you will have to spend a lot of money to build rabbit sheds."

Moreover, rabbit meat isn't as widely available as chicken, so it might not sell as well!

Upon hearing this, Jiedi realized that it seemed to make sense; building the rabbit shed alone would be a huge expense.

She deflated like a punctured balloon and said dejectedly, "What am I going to do? I really love keeping pets."

Tang Qiqi was just waiting for her to say that. She blinked and said, "Do you remember when we talked about General Liu who saved me? He has connections to get lambs. Third Sister won't let you raise lambs, right?"

“Why raise sheep? There are even fewer people who buy sheep wool. Although I like raising small animals, I don’t want to raise them for nothing. I plan to make money from them.” Jie Di was still listless.

Tang Qiqi said, "You raise the sheep first, and we'll get a few spinning and weaving machines. We won't need to sell wool."

Look how rough, ugly, and expensive clothes are these days. Clothes made of wool would definitely be very warm.

Jiedi became interested and said, "It sounds really good. Can you get those defensive line looms and weaving machines? Is General Liu reliable?"

"It has to be reliable. What's so difficult about spinning machines and looms? We in Huaiyuan are full of skilled craftsmen. We can make them even if it's just made on the spot."

Jiedi slapped her thigh and said, "You should do it this way. Raise sheep, and when they weave cloth, let Second Sister sell it."

Tang Qiqi coaxed gently, "Third Sister, where do you plan to raise sheep?"

Jiedi said confidently, "Raising sheep will be much easier. There are very spacious grasslands on the back of Dayanshan Mountain. We can just put the sheep there."

Tang Qiqi knew the place Jie Di mentioned; it was indeed a good place to raise sheep, otherwise she wouldn't have suggested that Jie Di raise them.

It would be a waste not to utilize this completely undisturbed ecosystem.

The only drawback was that the pasture was too far from home, which meant that Jiedi would have to live there to raise the sheep herself. She didn't know if Jiedi, who was twelve or thirteen years old at the time, could endure such hardship.

Tang Qiqi said, "That place is nice, but it's too far from home."

Jiedi said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? Let Mom hire someone to build a few rooms over there, and put up a fence in a sheltered, sunny spot to use as a sheep pen. I'll just move in there. Brother Baogen said he'll be with me no matter what I do!"

Looking at her third sister's innocent face, Tang Qiqi couldn't bear it in the end. She said, "Third sister, you don't actually need to go yourself. Just find a few people to keep an eye on things."

Jiedi shook her head: "How can that be? I want to raise them myself. These are all minor issues. Now I need to ask Mother if she agrees to use the money to build a house and sheepfold. I have to persuade her. By the way, please keep an eye on the lambs and find out some ideas about raising sheep for me."

Xu Lanzhi still couldn't resist Jiedi's persistent pleading and agreed to hire people to build her a house and sheepfold. However, she also made it clear beforehand that she would never let Jiedi manage such a large operation on her own, and she was carefully looking for suitable candidates.

As for the sheep, Xu Lanzhi knew that Tang Qiqi had them in his treasure chest. As long as everything was ready, the lambs would appear on their own.

She had just hired people to build a sheep-raising base when Yindi returned.

Xu Lanzhi asked her if she had any plans to find a husband, and mentioned a few young men she thought were good, asking Yindi if she had any in mind.

Yindi said helplessly, "Mother, those people are either idle and rely on their families for support, or they are illiterate and only know how to work. If you want to marry, you can marry yourself. My future husband must be truly talented and learned, and also gentle and refined. Don't worry about him."

I have something more important to tell you now. Our shop sells live chickens, eggs, and a lot of other goods that my two cousins ​​brought back. It's practically a general store. I'm planning to rent a few more storefronts: one for live chickens, one for eggs, and another for those little trinkets.

By the way, our wheat will be ready for harvest soon. I'm planning to open a grain shop to sell wheat and flour directly. It would be great if we also grew rice; we could sell rice there too. The rice we grow is really delicious.”

Yindi talked on and on for a long time, and Xu Lanzhi couldn't get a word in edgewise. She asked Yindi, "Tell me honestly, did Qiqi come up with this idea with you? Did you sisters team up to do something?"

"I just promised to build a sheepfold for Jiedi, and now you want to rent a shop. That thousand taels of compensation isn't enough for such extravagance."

Yindi laughed: "Mother, no wonder Qiqi said you're a miser. What are you keeping this money for if you're not going to spend it? Don't worry, I won't touch it. You can take a thousand taels. Our shop's business is pretty good. We've already earned enough to pay the rent, and we even have some left over to give to you."

Xu Lanzhi felt a headache coming on. It wasn't all a good thing that the children were so capable. They were all so opinionated. If she didn't work harder, she wouldn't be able to talk to them anymore.
