Chapter 216 Carefully Pave the Way ([-])

After listening to the history of plum blossom tickets, the children gained knowledge, and Qi Ke put his heart into his stomach. He was not afraid that the banknotes in his hand would become waste paper at any time, but there is no Meizhuang branch in Donglin County. You have to go to Dong'an Mansion to cash the ticket, but well, Qi Ke doesn't have this need.

The half-slaughtered sheep quickly arrived from the kitchen. The king smelled the bloody smell and was not very satisfied, as it did not smell like rabbit meat.

Fortunately, wolves are not picky eaters. After whining and complaining twice, they still bowed their heads and ate meat.

Qi Ke didn't understand what the king's cry meant, but judging from the speed at which it ate the meat, it was concluded that it didn't like the mutton.

It doesn't matter if you don't like it, it has to come out to play.

Qi Ke rubbed two handfuls of hair to appease the king to eat meat well, and put a bucket of water beside her. She turned around and went back to the house to add 100 taels to the price of the wine according to the number calculated by Fu Xiaosheng. Don't delay drinking when the price of wine rises , What's the point of drinking bad wine with sour taste, buy some good ones.

Because Shen's family is having a funeral, they also need a lot of wine. From the day when the white flag was hung up yesterday to today, the price of wine on the market has doubled, and even the cheap wine that ordinary people like to drink has also increased in price. , who is a custom of the local big family is to hold water banquets for weddings and funerals.

"Fortunately, we have cattle and sheep, and there is no shortage of meat to eat. Otherwise, the price of meat on the street will start to rise in a few days, and we will have to eat plain rice." Fu Xiaosheng shook his head, put down the pen and paper, and put the banknote I put it in my arms and thanked Qi Ke

"It's not easy to ensure that there is no shortage of meat. It's not easy to raise rabbits." Qi Ke wants to move some of the livestock in the spiritual realm to the village to ensure her own daily source of meat. If there are more breeds, she can sell them. Everyone knows that if she raises rabbits, it will be cheaper for her to make rabbit brain chilblain ointment. In order to avoid her having a headache and how to make up stories, it is better to start making the foreshadowing now.

"Raise rabbits? How many catties are rabbits?" Fu Xiaosheng shook his head indifferently.

"The rabbits are ready to be slaughtered quickly. The female rabbits are pregnant for one month and breastfeeding for one month. The meat rabbits can be ready for slaughter in seventy or eighty days. When they are ready for slaughter, about five catties is not a problem. If you think it is too little, you can continue to raise it. Anyway, you can eat it yourself and sell it. You can raise them to ten catties and then kill them. Can pigs, cattle and sheep reproduce faster than rabbits? You can also keep the skins of rabbits to make clothes, right?"

Fu Xiaosheng's face straightened, put away the carelessness just now, grabbed the teapot on the table and poured Qi Keman a cup of tea, "We have never raised rabbits before, can you tell me carefully? What's so special about raising rabbits?"

Qi Ke's experience in raising rabbits is definitely not bad, but she wisely didn't say too much, she just said that she planned to raise rabbits so she knew something about it before, and then she talked about the super fecundity of rabbits, after all, it was a year Animals that can mate in all seasons, a female rabbit can give birth to about forty pups a year after taking care of them. Even if these pups only live halfway, how many rabbits can be born after they grow up, there is no shortage of offspring.

Fu Xiaosheng collected the situation and reported it first. He couldn't decide whether to raise rabbits and eat meat in the army, but they could raise a few pairs for their own use, so Ding Lin and the other five friends also listened very carefully. Some heart.

Qi Ke could tell what they were thinking, and he spoke in detail, and even gave a suggestion, asking them to dig out rabbit nests in the wild while the weather is cold, and bring the whole litter back to raise. Rabbits are mated in cages, and the pups need to wait until they are six months old for the first mating. If more people are found to raise rabbits, they can be exchanged and mated with each other to avoid weak and sick offspring of inbreeding.
