Chapter 2000 Chicken Farm
From a distance, you can see chickens walking and flying in the circle surrounded by fishing nets on a high place, and occasionally a rooster crows loudly.
"...I specifically asked around for villagers who are good at raising chickens, and hired someone for two taels of silver a month, and sent three smart servants to help him and learn some skills. It turns out that this old man is really capable. He takes good care of these chickens. There are still the same number of chickens as when I bought them. After a while, when the chicks have grown up, I can buy some more..."
The size of each chicken farm was determined by Qiao Xuan, and each farm could raise about 6,000 chickens. It was still early, as it was only a small number now.
There are also dozens of acres of land at the foot of the mountain where the chicken farm is located, which are specifically used for growing vegetables and feeding chickens.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "You guys decide. This year, don't exceed one thousand per field."
Song Shi felt that it was a little too little, and hesitated to speak, then nodded: "Yes..."
Qiao Xuan glanced at him and reminded him, "Be careful. The chicken coop must be cleaned and ventilated every day. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more mosquitoes. The chicken coop should be fumigated with wormwood every day. The food and water prepared for the chickens must be fresh and clean. If a chicken plague occurs, the chickens will not be stopped unless they die. This is no small matter!"
"Since the person you invited is good at raising chickens, he must know the intricacies of it."
Song Shi had not dared to take it lightly at first, and he became even more cautious after hearing what Qiao Xuan said. He said yes solemnly.
The duck farm is in the next valley, so we won't go there today and plan to go back tomorrow. So we all return to the village.
In the past, An An would have gone to sleep by this time, but today he was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all. When Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went back to the manor to look for him, they could hear his screams and giggles from a distance. I don't know what he was playing to make him so happy!
When I got closer, I realized that he was playing with two rabbits.
The little rabbit was quite agile when it jumped. I don't know who came up with the idea, but they tied one of the rabbit's feet with a rope and let An An hold the other end of the rope in his hand.
An Anke, who was pulling the rope, was very majestic and proud. She could shout "Rabbit!" "Rabbit!" clearly so that no one could mistake it for anything else.
The wet nurse and maids were all there, laughing and accompanying them.
An An was even happier to see his father and mother coming back. His nanny squatted down and held him steadily. He pulled the rope and stretched out his short legs, swaying as he ran towards Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan with the support of his nanny.
The little guy giggled and threw himself into Qiao Xuan's arms, not forgetting to pull the rope, and continued to present treasures to her and his father: "Bunny!"
Qiao Xuan was so happy that she took a few steps forward and hugged him.
The two of them played with the little guy for quite a while, and finally managed to coax him into letting go of the rope with delicious food and going back to the house with them for a snack.
Lunch was served soon. The little one had steamed vegetable, shrimp and meat porridge. Qiao Xuan and the others had four dishes and a soup, including fried leeks with shrimps caught from the stream, crispy small river fish, bacon and bamboo shoots, garlic-mixed wild vegetables, and pigeon soup.
The fish and shrimps are all caught from the nearby streams. The streams come from deep in the mountains and forests. The water is cool and clear. There are many small shrimps and schools of finger-sized fish among the water plants.
Not long after lunch, An An finally fell asleep.
See you tomorrow, please give me a monthly ticket~
