Farming at the beginning, I rely on business to counterattack and become a princess

Chapter 8 ([-]) The End of the Earth Dragon

The two trotted all the way to the silt beach by the river, and Shitou started digging holes to attract earth dragons familiarly. After a while, several of them were caught, and Wen Xiang immediately encouraged him: "Well done, Shitou, you It's amazing."

"Of course, when it comes to catching earth dragons, I am number one in the village." Shitou was so proud.

The two dug together for half a quarter of an hour, captured more than [-] earth dragons, and returned triumphantly.

"Wen Xiang, why do you want the earth dragon?" Shitou had always said that he knew everything before, but he still couldn't help asking questions.

"Raise an earth dragon."

"Ah? The earth dragon still needs to be raised, so we can just go to the river and dig it."

"Well, you don't understand. I want to raise a lot of earth dragons. Can I dig dozens or hundreds of earth dragons by the river every day?"

"That's not necessarily the case, and sometimes it can't be dug." The stone said truthfully.

"Hmph, I want to raise hundreds or thousands of earth dragons."

"Wow!" Shitou widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Why?"

After hearing Wen Xiang's great plan to raise the earth dragon, Shi Shi simply didn't go home, and followed Wen Xiang directly to see how the earth dragon was raised.

In fact, Wen Xiang has never raised an earth dragon, but has he never eaten pork or seen a pig running?Her little friends in her previous life were particularly good at tinkering with all kinds of worms, and raising earth dragons to feed chickens was their forte.

Now, just follow the gourd and draw a scoop.

"Shitou, do you think there are any wooden boxes at the carpenter's place in our village?"

"I don't know." Shitou is only interested in digging birds from trees and catching fish in rivers. He doesn't know much about such professional work.

"Let's go, let's go find a carpenter." Wen Xiang logically let Shi Shi lead the way.

The carpenter's family is at the end of the village. He is an outsider, whose surname is Wu.

When the two knocked on the door and came in, Carpenter Wu was knocking out a camphor wood cabinet. After hearing what the two had come for, he said that he could knock out the kind of wooden box that Wen Xiang wanted, but it would cost [-] Wen.

"Uncle Wu, I don't need a whole board, just take any scraps and put it together for me, and I don't need good wood, just give me the worst wood that doesn't fall apart."

"Oh, if that's the case, I'll charge you twenty Wen, but what's the use of such an empty box?" Wu Shuqi asked.

"Raise an earth dragon!" Stone rushed to answer loudly.

"Hey, what does the earth dragon have to raise, you, that would ruin the wooden box." Carpenter Wu was a little unhappy.

"Uncle Wu, just help me do it. It is very useful for me to raise earth dragons. I have to get wooden boxes. I use the worst wood that others don't want, so it won't be wasted." Wen Xiang said softly softly. I begged in words, for fear that Carpenter Wu would not do it.

"Wen Xiang, does your brother know that you are going to break this wooden box?" Carpenter Wu was still a little hesitant.

"Of course I know, look, this is money from my brother." Wen Xiang lied without changing his expression.

"Okay, then I'll make it. This kind of empty shelf is simple, just wait here for a while." For the sake of twenty coins, Carpenter Wu still agreed to make the wooden box according to Wen Xiang's idea.

Taking advantage of Carpenter Wu's busy schedule, Wen Xiang visited Carpenter Wu's construction site by the way:
There is a lot of wood piled up in the firewood room on the edge of the yard, but we can’t tell what kind of wood it is; in the middle of the yard stands a semi-finished camphor wood cabinet with two sides.

Wen Xiang looked around the cabinet and felt that Carpenter Wu's workmanship was not bad, the mortise and tenon connection was very good, maybe one should be equipped at home.

"Uncle Wu, how much does it cost to open this camphor wood cabinet?"

"It's not cheap. It costs at least three taels of silver. It's a grand dowry for a bride. When you get married, let your brother marry one." Carpenter Wu also joked about smelling the fragrance.

"Hehe." Wen Xiang smirked a few times, getting married was not within her plan, besides, she was only ten years old, what kind of marriage would she marry? two silver.

Alas, what can I do at the age of ten, I shouldn't be here, I should be in school, and I should have fun and enjoy life without worry, instead of racking my brains here to solve the problem of survival and food and clothing.

Life is really moody.

After lamenting their bleak life for a long time, Wen Xiang and Shi Shi carried the freshly baked long wooden box home.

With the free labor of stones, Wen Xiang is naturally not welcome:
Instruct him to shovel composted soil into wooden boxes, cover the surface with rotten and ripe crop straw, weeds, mule and horse manure, etc., and then mix them carefully to ensure that the soil is soft.

Finally, pour water to make the soil fully moist, and then put the earth dragon and you're done.In the future, check once every two days, and add some manure, straw, straw, and vegetable leaves.

I guess I thought it was novel and interesting, and the stone was working hard, and I asked to come to see the earth dragon every day in the future, and I agreed with a smile after smelling the fragrance.

Not long after Wen Dao came back, he saw the wooden box for raising earth dragons, and asked Wen Xiang in a daze, "Why do you raise earth dragons?"

"Brother, this earth dragon reproduces very fast and has super high protein. If you feed it, the chicks can grow fast and strong."

"You, you always have some weird ideas." Although I can't understand it, but since the rice seedlings were raised, Wen Dao has become more and more indulgent to Wen Xiang.

"Brother, it doesn't matter whether the idea is strange or not, the important thing is that it works, right?"

"Yes, yes, Wen Xiang is the smartest in our family, and I will learn more from you in the future."

It seems that Wen Dao's sister-in-law is completely hopeless.

Three months later, Wen Xiang's chickens grew fat and strong, and began to lay eggs one after another.

Wen Xiang originally wanted to save the eggs and sell them in the market, but she couldn't help drooling after the daily meal, so the family's recipes were quickly replaced by leek fried eggs, hibiscus eggs, boiled eggs, green onion eggs, poached eggs, and fried rice with eggs. , Egg Drop Soup and other fancy egg-style occupations, the brother and sister ate a little hiccups before it came to an end.

Both brothers and sisters thought: Although eggs are good, they can’t afford to eat them every day. Eating three meals a day is too extravagant, too wasteful, and too boring. It’s time to sell eggs and buy something else for a change.

Wen Dao didn't allow Wen Xiang to go to the market alone unless he was with him, and Wen Dao had to catch up with spring plowing and production, which caused Wen Xiang's two big baskets of flowers and plants picked last time to fall into her hands, and finally she You can only plant them all in the yard, enjoy yourself and eat them yourself.

When going to the market this time, she plans to go to see if there are any flower sellers in the market first, and to find out the market in advance. If possible, she will go to the Flower Valley to dig a batch of flowers to sell.

In Wenjia Village, going to the market in Chengnan County can be regarded as a leisurely activity after work. Wenxiang and his brother planned to drive the mule cart, and they would also pick up Chun'er's family by the way.

Due to the stone's encouragement, Chun'er's family also raised earth dragons to feed the chickens.In the beginning, Mrs. Xie scolded Shitou for fooling around, so she knew how to play. Later, she saw that the chicks were growing fast and strong, and the eggs were very big. She also praised Wenxiang for being smart. This time they also brought a Baskets of eggs go to the market to sell.

Everyone talked and laughed along the way, Mrs. Xie also praised Wen Xiang for being smart many times, and whoever marries will be blessed in the future.

As soon as these words came out, Shitou curled his lips and rolled his eyes, and Wen Xiang passed by with a muddle in his heart, the people here are really inseparable from each other.

Chun'er looked at Shi Shi and Wen Xiang bickering with a smile the whole time, peeking at Wen Dao from time to time, but whenever a topic came up, she would always ask "Brother Wen, what do you think?".

What do you think brother?Wen Xiang didn't know, her eyes went back and forth between Qing'er and Wen Dao, and she always felt that "the concubine is interested".

Aunt Xie often goes to the market and has no interest in shopping. When she arrives at the market, she will be responsible for setting up a stall to sell eggs, and the other four will go shopping together.

It was the first time for Wen Xiang to go to the south of the city to go to the market, and he really felt that everything was fresh, and he had to go to see all the shops and stalls.

Shi Shi was only interested in things to eat and play with, but because he was short of money, Chun'er was only willing to buy him a bunch of candied haws to lick, and used the rest of the money to buy daily necessities and tear a few feet of cloth.

Wen Xiang also bought a small piece of cloth, thinking that he would have to sew two pieces of underwear when he went back, otherwise he would not be used to it.
