Chapter 223: Seeds with Higher Yield
She turned to look at the tiger cub's mother, patted its head, and instructed, "You go too. Find a place you like, but one thing is, don't hurt anyone!"
The tiger cub's mother turned her gaze towards everyone, especially towards the shivering Master Xia and his men.
It was a little curious why these people had a stinky smell, while that woman had a sweet smell.
These people are so smelly that you have to rinse your mouth after biting them. It is the majestic king of the forest, but it is very picky about food and will not accept anything that smells bad!
It wants to eat the delicious meat that the woman gives it!
"roar--"
"Woman, I agree, but don't forget to give me that delicious meat!"
The three little ones held the tiger cubs in their arms, being very careful not to hurt them.
Normally he walks very fast, but now he walks in small steps.
While saying this, she comforted the little tiger cub in her arms: "Don't be afraid, little cat. Since your aunt gave you to me, I will definitely protect you!"
Liu Youran, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law watched as the tiger cubs' mother followed closely behind the three little ones, showing no worry at all and looking away with a smile!
Xia Chengsheng, Xia Qingyun and Xia Qingfeng, the three grown men, became worried instead, fearing that the three little ones would accidentally drop the tiger cubs in their arms, and the tiger cubs' mother would pounce directly on the three little ones!
But they underestimated the protective jade pendants that Xia Xing'er gave to the three little ones!
They were worried and followed the three little ones all the way. They had never seen a tiger so close before.
Xia Qingyu held a little tiger cub in her arms, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Why did my little sister give him a tiger cub? Did she put him in the same category as the other three little ones?
Seeing Second Master Xia still watching, Liu Youran said coldly, "Why are you standing here instead of going to work? Do you want to call Tiger over, or do you not want your wages for today?"
When Master Xia Er and others heard Liu Youran say this, they immediately got up and went back to work.
What a joke, so what if they are stupid? Do they really have to wait here and let Liu really call the tiger over and become the tiger's food?
Doesn’t Liu know what a day’s wages means to them now?
I have to say that Liu Youran has a firm grasp of these people's minds.
Liu Youran looked at Xuanyuan Yi who was following her. "Your Highness, you have nothing to do right now. Why don't you go build the tiger's den, prepare some food for them, and make some minced meat for those little cubs?"
Since Xing'er wants to raise a tiger, they will help feed the tiger.
If this tiger is well-fed, it can not only guard the house, but also look quite majestic when taken outside!
When Liu Youran was leaving, she did not forget to take away the dozen or so pheasants on the ground. She did not forget what her eldest and second daughters-in-law told her, that Xing'er wanted to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Now that she has mushrooms and chicken, she must show off her cooking skills and make chicken stewed with mushrooms for Xing'er.
Liu Youran walked in front and Xia Xing'er followed closely behind her.
Liu Youran couldn't help but laugh when she saw her daughter's greedy look.
She didn't waste any time and took out a small pot, put water in it, and stewed chicken soup.
Although the pheasant is small and does not have much meat, it is very delicious when stewed into soup. Now we have mushrooms, so we can add some more to it. No other seasoning is needed, just a little salt. I can't help drooling just thinking about it.
The chicken soup was ready. Because Xia Xing'er had been in front of the stove, Liu Youran served her a bowl of the soup with meat as soon as the chicken soup came out of the pot. She was the first to taste the flavor of the chicken soup.
While eating, Xia Xing'er also fed Liu Youran a piece of meat: "Mom, you eat too!"
Liu Youran smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll eat it too. Xing'er, you like chicken stewed with mushrooms. After our house is repaired, I'll have them build a few chicken coops. We'll raise more laying hens and pheasants, and dry more mushrooms. Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you!"
She really felt that she owed her daughter too much. After spending all the time together in exile, she found that the relationship between her and her daughter had deepened, and they were more like mother and daughter than best friends.
Xia Xing'er looked at Liu Youran, who now looked like an old rural lady, and asked curiously: "Mom, can you raise chickens?"
Before her mother got married, she was the daughter of the richest royal merchant and was raised in pampered condition.
Later, she married Changxin Hou Xia Chengsheng and became the mistress of the marquis's mansion, and was pampered by Xia Chengsheng.
The only unsatisfactory thing is the experience of the past six months!
She really couldn't imagine that her own mother would actually talk about raising chickens!
Liu Youran smiled and said, "You underestimate your mother. Although your grandparents dote on me, they didn't raise me to be naive. They let me learn everything I need to learn. Every year they take time out to take your uncles and me to live on the farm for a while. So, let alone raising chickens, your mother and I can even farm!"
"After I married your father, every time he went to war, I, your mother, was always worried at first, but later I thought of doing something to divert his attention.
When I saw the military books in your father's study, I started to learn them. Now, thanks to you, Xing'er, I have also learned martial arts.
So now I really can't do it without your mother!"
Liu Youran still felt a little regretful. If she had learned martial arts earlier, she could have followed her husband into battle to kill the enemy. Now, even if she wanted to do so, her status did not allow it and she was too old. It was the world of young people!
After lunch, Liu Youran picked up a hoe and went to plow the land in front of the bamboo house. She wanted to plant some vegetables here. Autumn was about to come, and if she planted some vegetables here, they wouldn't have to go out even when winter came, and they could be self-sufficient.
Anyway, as long as there is money, these people can be hired to work and open up wasteland. She wants to hire them to open up more wasteland and grow more crops.
She knew what her husband and children were thinking and supported them.
Although she couldn't help with the training, she could find ways to grow more food for them and provide them with support.
While her husband and children were recruiting soldiers and horses, she would guard their home for them.
If she only grows a little more food now, her children can recruit one more soldier, which will give her a better chance of winning when the war really starts.
When Xia Xing'er learned of Liu Youran's idea, she began to think about whether there were any seeds with higher yields in her space.
Although there is a lot of food in my own space, it is far from enough to support the soldiers.
If you want to train a good fighting army, it cannot be accomplished overnight. It may take at least three to five years, or as long as eight to ten years.
She plans to buy all the wasteland nearby and reclaim it. It will take at least several hundred acres!
It was just newly reclaimed wasteland, so the yield was definitely low. She had to find some seeds with higher yields.
