Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

Chapter 119 Methods
Early in the morning, she was absent-minded and finished eating. After she put down the bowl, old man Ding called for someone.

Instead of going to the wing, old man Ding walked directly towards the chicken pen.

Now, the old hen is eating happily, and it is being fed by Mrs. Qiao.

"What are you thinking about?"

"... Those who know me are also grandpa."

Ding Xuewei flattered her first.

The old man raised his eyebrows, but I was unmoved.

Ding Xuewei was not in a hurry, and slowly expressed his thoughts.

"Yesterday, I asked Grandma Qiao, and she said that in previous years, herds of wild donkeys, wild boars, and wild cattle would appear in the twelfth lunar month, and would gradually disappear after the next year's twilight. This year, it may be because people have been active at the edge of the forest, so There has been no movement. At the end of the year, our fields may be the first to bear the brunt."

Yuequan Village was built around Yuequan, which was adjacent to the official road, and the closest to Yuequan was the school field of Chengdong College, and then the location of the village, the scattered fields of the villagers.

Now, the newly opened land of their family has completely surrounded the sporadic fields of the villagers. When these animals reappear at the end of the year, the crops of their family may be the only ones that will be ruined.

"Let's talk about the end of the year. Now, we are short of foot strength and meat. I thought, if we take advantage of the current advantage to trap a few times and turn around, don't we need to worry about buying cattle and horses?"

There are bison and wild donkeys to catch, of course it is good to catch.

Regardless of whether it can be trained or not, if you catch it, you will earn it.

But are wild animals in the forest so easy to catch?
"It was agreed to light the fire on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. If there are wild oxen, wild donkeys, etc., a little delay is fine. But these animals are in the forest. Whether they will come or when will be a big problem," Old Man Ding said. The heart is moved, but the wild animals don't listen to them, it's not that they can catch them if they want to catch them!

"That's what I'm struggling with." Ding Xue clasped her hands slightly and propped her chin, with a troubled expression on her face.

Old man Ding knows his eldest granddaughter very well.

Whenever she said something, it must have been thought through and thought through thoroughly.

Don't look at her unsure and very headache look now.

In my heart, I definitely have an idea, and this idea can definitely be used.

"Tell me." The old man became interested.

Raising her head and staring at him for a few seconds, Ding Xue felt a sense of boredom inexplicably.

She didn't have a good tongue, and the old man was so sure that she could do it.

I should feel happy, but I can't be happy... I feel aggrieved that I can't talk about it.

"Fu Niu's family has several little donkeys. When I asked about it, Grandpa Fu Niu said that they were the wild donkeys picked up by her family Fu Niu. Since those wild donkeys chose to follow their children, they The family will take good care of them."

"At that time, I was very curious about how the wild donkey would follow their baby, so I asked again, but Fu Niu's grandpa said that Fu Niu of their family loves candy, always carries candy in their pockets, and loves to play with water, and often drench their clothes wet."

"Wild donkeys like sugar very much, and Fu Niu is generous. She fed her back and forth several times when the adults were not paying attention. The wild donkeys that were startled at first developed a good impression of her. After that, they ran to the forest with sugar every day. When she found it, she could call the wild donkey and go away."

Old man Ding never expected to be able to do this.

The originally cloudy eyes were dyed flashes visible to the naked eye.

"You mean we can bait with candy."

This is not a question, but an affirmation.

"Not only sugar, but also salt." Ding Xuewei began to make up stories: "At that time, when we were in Linhai County, we could often see people from Yantian Village driving cows, horses, and donkeys to the seashore. At first, I didn't understand why they kept going After gnawing rocks, I suddenly realized that they were not gnawing rocks, but licking the salt on the rocks."

"Our blood is red, and the blood of donkeys and wild boars is also red. If we don't eat salt, we will feel weak. Is it the same for them?"

How many houses in Yantian Village have donkeys, she doesn't even know about the ones with cattle or horses, so it's pure nonsense to say so.

As for the point that warm-blooded animals need salt, she was sure.

"Grandpa, the haystacks in the field have not been burned yet, and there are a few taels of money at home to waste, so I want to try!"

A child of Fu Niu can take down the wild donkey. They set up a trap to attract the wild donkey into the trap and catch it. It is really irresistible.

"Go, find the village chief."

The Qiao family always got up early, and when there was any movement from the Ding family, they usually had already had breakfast.

They don't work these days, but the people who should be at home are nowhere to be seen. They must have gone to the donkey shed.

Old man Ding didn't remember for a moment, what the old village head said yesterday evening to go to the next village to seek experience, and led Ding Xuewei and his brother to the donkey shed.

There were indeed many people in front of the donkey shed.

Unfortunately, the old village chief was nowhere to be seen.

"Joe Da." Old Man Ding called to the reliable one.

"Uncle Ding?"

Qiao Da walked out of the crowd upon hearing the sound, and the joy on his face could not be suppressed.

Old man Ding thought that it would be sooner rather than later, and after Qiao Da approached, he asked Ding Xuewei to repeat what he had said earlier.

Qiao Da, who only knows wild donkeys and bison who love to eat crops, was a little confused after hearing Ding Xuewei's series of remarks.

Not because wild asses still like sugar and salt, but the idea of ​​something more that might be added in the village was too exciting for him to get excited for a moment.

"That's what I think. Sugar and salt are easy to buy in the city these two days, and I'll weigh them later. The fields at home will stay in February, and we will burn the fields and roll the fields together."

For ordinary people, there are only a few days when they can rest in peace throughout the year.

In the past, people in the village began to rest on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to prepare new year's goods, and then went to the fields together on the [-]th day to start the preparations for the new year's plowing and planting.

Seedlings are raised during the sting, and planted before and after the rain.

This year, Jingzhe drove the dragon to raise his head, and old man Ding made up time with the village chief early in the morning.

This year, people in the village have less leisure time, and work starts on the fifth day of the new year. During the year, the ginger and konjac in several fields are cleaned up, burned and rolled for the first time, and then the villagers smash the work in their own fields. However, some of their families asked people from other villages to deal with it.

If some dead branches and dry grass were not burned first, the fields of their families would naturally be unable to roll out. If the villagers wanted to earn copper coins back into their pockets, they had to deal with their own fields before February.

Now the vegetable seedlings are fine, and they can grow for another ten and a half months. The beans are not yet mature, and it is impossible to turn over the fields.

In other words, they might not be able to earn the money for these ten or twenty days.

If old man Ding did this, the Li family would naturally follow him for his daughter-in-law.

"Uncle Ding, just do what you want."

Joe is very reasonable.

He knew very well that the Ding family wanted to take care of the villagers, and the villagers also understood what he was thinking.

Not to mention that they caught these seventeen wild donkeys yesterday, even if they didn't, they wouldn't complain.

"I don't know if there is any advantage over there at home. If the villagers are willing, they can go to my house to arrange it."

　Daily shout, ask for tickets, ask for collection...
