Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Looking at the empty herd of cattle, Lin He let out a long sigh.

"Sure enough, I thought it was too simple. At the beginning, I thought it would be no problem to gather a herd of cattle in three to five years. I didn't expect that these three years had passed, and there were not even twenty cows."

Li Changhui held Lin He's hand, and the two walked hand in hand in the field. The cold wind was a bit cold, but the heat from Li Changhui's palm made Lin He very warm.

"That's because you don't want to compete with others. If you really want to buy calves, let alone more, forty or fifty calves will be fine."

Lin He shook his head again and again: "That can't be done. Everyone needs to use farming cattle. In many places, an entire village only has one or two cows. If I buy them all, what will happen to them for work?"

Li Changhui smiled, he knew it would be like this.

In the past few years, it's not that calves can't be bought at all, it's just that Lin He doesn't want to compete with others, and just asks the people in the grocery store to help pay attention. If someone's calf is difficult to sell, they will buy it.

But farm cattle, where is it difficult to sell, the most is that there are fewer cows than cows. Even so, these dozen or so cows have been sent over from various places under the administration of Guanzhou Prefecture in recent years.

However, Lin He's resentment was only temporary, and after comforting himself, he regained his energy soon.

"However, several cows have grown up this year. If there are no accidents, there will be several more cows next year. After that, every one or two years, or even every year, there will be cows that are pregnant and give birth."

That way, her herd could expand in no time!
Li Changhui just smiled, he has no obsession with the cattle, as long as Lin He is happy.

The two took a walk, wandered around the field, and then went to the fish pond, where there were still some dilapidated lotus leaves.

After digging the pond to drain the water, Lin He went to buy a few catties of lotus root seeds, asked the nearby children to help them grind out the ends of the lotus seeds, and then sprinkled all the seeds in the pond.

It is very slow to grow lotus root with seeds, but Lin He is not in a hurry. In the first year, only lotus leaves can be seen, and the growth is also sparse. Last year, there were already a lot of lotus leaves in the fish pond.

Last summer, Lin He specially found a small boat and went into the water to pick lotus pods in the pond.

There are even some leisurely and elegant rich ladies in the city who come here to enjoy the lotus.

A fish came out of the water, sensed someone, flicked its tail, touched the dry lotus leaf, and caused circles of ripples.

"There should be a lot of fish in this pond. When we can dig lotus roots this year, let's put the water in it and catch fish by the way."

The rice field fish of the Li family starts to be fished every year before the rice is harvested. At first, everyone didn’t think so, but after trying it, they really found that the fish was much tastier than usual.

So every year when the rice is harvested, someone will order from the Li family in advance, and they will try to buy as much as possible to take home, and it will not be a problem to raise it for a while.

So much so that for half a month, the fishermen who deliver fish everywhere in the city will also have their business affected, but fortunately, it is not a big problem.

The Li family's products are already more expensive than the general ones, and many ordinary people still choose other people's products.

"I think you can dig lotus root now. Didn't you say two days ago that the lotus root powder at home is gone? Why don't you wait for Chang Qiang to come back and put water to dig lotus root. It just happens that the weather is cold recently, and the fish can be sent farther away."

During the Chinese New Year, Li Changqiang took his wife, children and cousin Liu Dong'er back to the town. Every year is half a month, after all, he is usually too busy to have time.

Calculating the time, I should be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. By then, I can catch up with the Lantern Festival and take the children to the city to watch the lanterns.

There is a girls' school in Nanzhi County. Li Changqiang's two daughters and Liu Dong'er were sent to school two years ago to teach the children to read and understand.

However, it is different from the boy's academy in that the gentleman's six arts of ritual, music, archery, etc. are replaced by female celebrities in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and so on.

It's always good to learn more things. After the past two years, Liu Dong'er can be seen with the naked eye, a little more elegant and dignified, and she looks a little bit like a young lady. She has distanced herself from ordinary village girls.

Even after she got home, she would still help cook and clean up the house, and would go to work in the fields when she was resting.

In this way, Lin He felt that it was a good thing for this girl to learn.

I heard that Dong'er would teach Qingyu how to read and embroider at night, but Lin He didn't care, that was their little sister's business.

Lin He thought for a while: "It's okay. I didn't pay attention to the number of lotus roots last year, so I sold them all. This time, I will save a thousand catties of lotus roots for making lotus root powder. I can also save the tip of the lotus root. I will plant the lotus root in February." field to go."

There are not only lotus roots in the three-acre lotus field, but also lotus seeds and lotus leaves can be sold in summer.

Especially the lotus leaf tea, clearing away heat and promoting dampness, dredging silt and stopping bleeding, it is no problem to keep it for a year or so, and you can make a small profit if you send it to a grocery store.

All in all, in Lin He's eyes, there is nothing that cannot be sold for money!
While the two were talking, they saw a gorgeous lady coming from a distance.

Lin He frowned suddenly: "Why is she here again?"
