Two days later, the 19 pigs in the farm were ready to be slaughtered. Song Yuehua planned to keep one for the New Year, and asked Liu Xue to ask the pigherd to take away the remaining 18.
"Wow, these pigs are really well raised. I've never seen pigs raised so cleanly." said the pigherd.
Liu Xue looked proud, "Of course. We have to clean the pigsty every day, and give the pigs a bath every now and then. Who else would raise pigs as attentively as we do?"
"That's right, that's right," complimented the swineherd.
After all the pigs were weighed, the total price came to 110 taels of silver.
After arranging the pigs, the swineherd pointed to the chicken farm next door and asked, "Do you want to sell the girl's chickens?"
Liu Xue glanced at Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "You still collect chickens?"
"Yes," the swineherd said with a laugh, "chickens, ducks, dogs, pigs, sheep, and cows. I'll take anything that can be raised."
Song Yuehua asked Liu Xue to count the chickens. Excluding the laying hens and those that had not yet grown up, there were a total of 450 chickens that could be sold.
The chicken was weighed just like the pig, and the total price was 42 taels of silver.
In the evening, Song Yuehua went home to count the silver, a total of 404 taels.
This year's cotton has been planted, and we have also gained experience in pig farming, so we can start a big business next year.
The pigs and chickens in Dongshan have been harvested, and all the crops in the fields have been planted. There is not much to do for the time being. The next day after returning, Song Yuehua took a few roast chickens to see Bai Daxian on the mountain.
In another month or two, the white snake will probably hibernate.
Before that, Song Yuehua thought about coming a few more times, otherwise she would not see him again until the beginning of spring tomorrow.
After feeding the chickens, Song Yuehua sat at the entrance of the cave, touching the white snake's head and talking to herself. "Great Immortal, when you become an immortal in the future, please don't forget me. I beg you to bless our family and keep them safe and healthy."
"The weather is pretty good today. How about going deeper and taking a look?" Song Yuehua said to herself.
Suddenly, the white snake hissed.
Song Yuehua lowered her head and glanced at it, not knowing what was going on. Seeing that the immortal was acting so abnormally, she decided to give up and not go today.
After returning home and having dinner, Song Yuehua was still thinking about whether there were any other ways to make money.
I made money from cotton and pig farms this year. Next year, both pieces of land will be used to grow cotton, and I can raise more pigs and chickens. Compared with this year, next year's income will double, and the risk will also double.
You have to take it slow. If you are too hasty, you may fail.
Moreover, there are limited permanent workers in Dongshan, so there is no rush to recruit people for the time being.
In addition to going into the mountains to hunt, he also made a few profits from bounties.
I will definitely not consider the bounty anymore. I have elderly and young people at home, and I will be doomed if I am targeted by someone.
As for hunting, as long as you are willing to take risks, you can make money quickly. So far, I have grown a lot taller, and I will definitely be a lot better at hunting than before.
How about starting a small business?
It is definitely not possible to make food, Song Yuehua is very aware of her cooking skills.
Open a tailor shop? I'd better wait until Xiaoyu grows up.
Reselling? That would require running around outside every day, and it wouldn't work with two little kids at home.
"well!"
Song Yuehua sighed heavily.
Just then, someone seemed to come outside. Song Yuehua went out and saw that it was Zhou Ergui.
"Uncle Ergui, is there something wrong?"
Zhou Ergui asked anxiously, "Yuehua, can you take me to the Bugui Mountain..."
Song Yuehua glanced at the sky. It was already dark. It was too late to go into the mountains at this time. "Did something happen?"
"that……"
It turned out to be Zhang's younger brother, Zhang Erlang, Zhou Ergui's brother-in-law. He was 19 years old this year and had been working as a escort for a caravan. He only returned home once every one or two years. This time when he returned home, he also stopped by Zhou's house to see his sister and little niece.
After they arrived, the whole family started chatting. Not only did Zhou Dafu become the manager, but Zhou Ergui also became the supervisor.
Seeing that her sister's family was living better and better, she found out about Song Yuehua's wealth after asking around.
Who knew that Zhang Erlang would quietly go home, buy a bow and practice for a few days, and also take the big sword he used when escorting. Fortunately, he entered the Bugui Mountain in the middle of the day and was seen by people, otherwise he would have died in there and no one would know where he went.
Song Yuehua made money from hunting, and the villagers were jealous. But Zhou Lizheng was capable and suppressed all the restless people.
Moreover, most of the people in the village saw Song Yuehua's archery skills, and they were spread to be miraculous for a while, so no one dared to do this for the time being.
Who knew that they held down the villagers but not their own relatives.
Zhou Lizheng has already asked someone to go to the Zhang family’s village to pass on the message.
It would be fine if it was someone from Taoyuan Village, but Zhang Erlang is from another village after all, so there definitely won’t be many people who can help.
When there are fewer people, those who have agreed to go will not dare to go.
When Song Yuehua heard this, she went back to the house to get her bow without saying a word, and brought along all the hunting supplies, including medicine powder and hemp rope.
"Uncle Ergui, ask everyone in the village to go back. I will call Master Duan to go into the mountains together." Song Yuehua said.
"How can this be possible!"
How could they let a little girl like Song Yuehua take risks for their family's affairs?
After Song Yuehua prepared everything, she said seriously, "Listen to me. If you follow me, you will hinder me."
Zhou Ergui was speechless for a moment, then he said, "I'll discuss it with my father."
After everyone left, Song Yuehua turned around and looked at Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, and Tian, who all looked worried. "Did you hear that? I'm going to the mountains to find someone. You guys stay at home and take good care of Xiaobao."
