The next day, Li Erlang took the prepared sweet potatoes to the county government office.
Li Yan slept until noon. Her little cousin was waiting at the door early, hoping that Li Yan would get up.
When Li Yan walked out of the room sleepily, she saw a little kid sitting in front of the door, baring his small teeth and smiling at her.
The little man saw Li Yan get up and jumped in front of her. Lin smiled and said to Li Yan, "This child came early this morning. He heard that you were still asleep, so he insisted on carrying a small stool and sitting in front of the door waiting for you to get up!"
Li Yan stepped forward and pinched Maomao's cheek. After these few months of feeding, the child was no longer as thin as when she first met him. His rosy cheeks made people want to pinch them.
"Come on, Second Sister will make you some candied sweet potatoes!"
The little guy happily followed Li Yan to the kitchen.
Children are like this. If you are nice to them, they will like to follow you.
After breakfast, Li Yan decided to go down the mountain to take a look. She hadn't been there in the past few days to see how her livestock were doing.
When Li Yan brought Maomao to the foot of the mountain, Songzi saw Li Yan and immediately called her mother and came to greet her. The family stayed here for a few days. They were idle at home every day and had nothing to do, so they helped the Zhao family feed the livestock every day.
Seeing Li Yan now, Guo asked, "Miss, what do you need me to do? I can do anything, like farming or cultivating the land. Just tell me what to do!"
Li Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. It's winter now and we're free. Let's take a break first. I'll ask for your help next year!"
"When the time comes, just give me your orders, girl!"
Li Yan exchanged pleasantries with the Guo family for a moment, then said, "You guys go back, I'll take a look around!"
Li Yan brought Maomao to the pigsty first. There were ten piglets happily scrambling for the leftovers in the trough. In just two months, the piglets had grown a lot.
The Zhao family father and son, who were picking eggs in a chicken coop in the distance, saw Li Yan and immediately rushed over.
Li Yan saw the man and praised him, "Uncle, thanks to your care, these piglets are growing so fast!"
Old man Zhao said honestly, "The food at Piaoxianglou is still the best, with plenty of oil and water. These piglets are really spoiled by the wind!"
Li Yan was very satisfied. It was because of the hard work and care of the Zhao father and son that her breeding business got off to a good start.
Since this was her first time doing breeding, Li Yan did not invest too much money and planned to test the waters first and make another decision next year.
In Li Yan's plan, the livestock raised here will be the guarantee for the future supply of goods.
Li Yan went to the chicken coop again and saw that the chicks, which weighed only about one pound when she bought them, had grown a lot now.
Old Man Zhao said with emotion, "Girl, it was a great idea to raise chicks at the foot of the mountain. There's plenty of Cordyceps down there, so the chickens won't lack food. These chicks will definitely lay eggs next spring!"
Li Yan nodded. "The current site isn't big enough. I plan to build some more pens next spring. I'll need your help taking care of them then!"
The two nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
After looking after the livestock, Li Yan had nothing to do, so she took Maomao to the barren mountains.
Li Yan remembered that when she came to pick forsythia last time, there were also many mountain rhododendrons in the mountain, but she ignored them because they were not fully ripe at that time.
Now that she has some free time, Li Yan plans to make some candied haws for Maomao as a snack.
