Yamashita family

Chapter 63
Li Qingshan protected Su Zi along the way, fortunately today was a sunny day with the moon shining, the road was not so dark, but Su Zi also felt that Li Qingshan was too careful, and almost left without holding her.

At this time, Su Zi also realized that something was wrong with her during this period of time. She was irritable, wanted to get angry for no reason, and was sentimental. She was obviously not such a person before, so why didn't she think about it?
"It's not that I got angry with you before. It's because I had a baby." Su Zi felt that Li Qingshan was quite innocent, and he didn't know the reason for being scolded for no reason, and he couldn't justify himself.

"Well, I know, Ah Zi is the best." Li Qingshan comforted with a smile, he didn't feel anything, wasn't it just being scolded by his wife?What's the big deal.

"You are perfunctory!" Su Zi immediately became unhappy.

Li Qingshan: This is who just said that he has a good temper.

"No, I really think Ah Zi is very good." But he still didn't forget to express his opinion quickly, because he was very afraid of Su Zihu's aggressiveness.

"Of course I'm fine, and I'll give birth to you." It's quite a sense of accomplishment when you say it, and you are a great contributor.

"Yes, yes, you will have to work harder in the future." This sentence is true. After seeing Zhao Wan'er's reaction during pregnancy, Li Qingshan is actually happy that he is a father, but at the same time, he is also a little worried about Su Zi's body.

Su Zi obviously also thought of Zhao Wan'er's reaction, and quickly turned to comfort Li Qingshan, "It's okay, maybe our child is very good, and I don't make trouble everywhere."

"Well, if you are like Ah Zi, you will be very good."

"That is."

Li Qingshan smiled lowly, feeling that she was getting more and more childish now.

The two of them arrived home soon after talking. After Li Qingshan got home and settled down for Su Zi, he immediately boiled hot water to soak her feet, "You sit for a while, and I'll boil the water. It will be ready soon."

Su Zi nodded, and after Li Qingshan walked out, he stretched out his hand to cover his lower abdomen, it was still flat, but he didn't expect that there was a little life inside, it was amazing.

What's even more amazing is that as time goes on, my belly will grow day by day, and then I will give birth in October, and grow from a baby to an adult. Life always gives people too many incredible and surprises. At this moment She is also full of joy looking forward to the arrival of this child.

When Li Qingshan came in, he saw Su Zi gently caressing his abdomen with one hand, smiling with maternal brilliance, the light softened the momentum around her, calm and serene like a painting, he stood at the door and looked at it for a long time For a while, I couldn't bear to disturb such tranquility.

It was Su Zi who smiled sweetly at him after seeing him. Li Qingshan felt that her smile would be contagious at this moment, so he also laughed, and then walked to her side gently, before he put his hands on her shoulders, he heard Su Zi Zi's ​​aggrieved voice came, "I want to eat grapes." I went to visit Happy tonight, but I didn't eat much.

Suddenly all the beauty disappeared, Li Qingshan sighed in his heart, resigned to his fate and went to wash the grapes.

Su Zi also plausibly said, "The baby born from eating more fruits during pregnancy will be very beautiful. I did this for the sake of the baby."

"Yes, yes, our Ah Zi is a qualified mother." Li Qingshan said perfunctory words but did not dare to sound perfunctory, it was also very hard work.

"Well, you are also a good father. After he (she) is born, I will tell the little baby that he (she) has a very good father who loves him (her) very much and is willing to do anything for him."

Li Qingshan looked at her with a smile, at this moment he knew that he had said something nice, he picked up the grapes and handed them to her, "Don't eat too much, I'm going to sleep later, and it's still a bit cold to eat at this time."

"Well, I know, I only eat one skewer." She just wanted to think about it, and she knew that she was very nervous at this time.

In fact, both of them were overjoyed by the news. One kept asking for this and that, and the other kept busy to distract themselves. This was their way of expressing their joy.

After entering August, we began to sell medicinal materials in batches. In fact, planting medicinal materials is a very troublesome thing. First of all, not all medicinal materials are planted in the same season, and not all medicinal materials are ripe at the same time. , and some of the growth period is more than one year.

For example, peony should be grown for more than three years; Bupleurum for more than two years; American ginseng for more than four years; Coptidis for more than five years.The medicinal materials should be harvested according to the season? For example, peony and Baizhi are harvested in August; Ophiopogon japonicus is harvested in April.

Generally, the processing of Chinese medicinal materials can be divided into rough processing, such as yams are dug out from the ground, peeled, sliced, and dried; peonies are peeled and heart-pulled; ginseng is boiled and peeled; chrysanthemums are steamed.Moreover, the collection of medicinal materials should be carried out according to the mature season, the collection method and processing method of each variety.Process according to unique processing technology.For example, raw land can be processed into cooked land, and its medicinal properties will change; red ginseng, white ginseng, etc.Medium processing is the final key to the quality and benefit of medicinal materials. ??
In short, it was a very troublesome thing. Su Zi thought it was very cumbersome at the time. Fortunately, they were only responsible for harvesting. As for the processing, I should leave it to professionals.

Donglin Pharmacy is very honest. They came to collect it after telling them in the past. This also made the big guys feel so heartbroken. They were afraid that the recovered medicinal materials would not be sold and piled up together. After that, everything will be moldy, so in the end, there is only one way to throw it away.In that case, a year's work will be in vain.

This is what everyone doesn't want to see. Although it is only a few acres of land, it is the result of a lot of hard work. If nothing is obtained in the end, Su Lan may cry. She has been taking care of these medicinal materials throughout the process.

The development of Su Zi's breeding industry is also quite spectacular. The number of rabbits, pheasants, and domestic chickens is calculated in hundreds. Ever since Su Zi found out that she was pregnant, Li Qingshan wanted to sell some of these. I'm afraid that Su Zi won't be able to take care of them, and it's impossible to drive them all to the mountains in winter, and there will be nothing to eat.

Su Zi also felt that it was a bit too much, so she kept some of it and sold the rest, but, "Isn't it worthwhile to sell it now? Isn't it more expensive to sell it after the Chinese New Year?"

"You want to sell it loose?" Li Qingshan asked after hearing this.

"Ah, you mean that the price is the same no matter when you sell it to the restaurant?" Su Zi was a little puzzled, it can't be, the restaurant must raise the price during the festival.

"Almost, because there are too many of us, restaurants that can eat so many usually have regular sellers."

"Then can we also sign a contract with a reputable restaurant, and let's provide them with food on time." I didn't expect such a large scale before, but now that I have it, I have to think about it in the long run.

"It's not impossible, I'll ask next time." Li Qingshan replied after thinking carefully for a while, because it doesn't take much trouble in other times except winter, once you put these in the mountains, you will know that you will come back at night, so it won't be very useful Worry about yourself.

In addition, you can catch bugs on the mountain, and the chicken manure can also provide fertilizer for the saplings, but these chickens are not very obedient, they lay eggs everywhere, and they go to pick up eggs all over the mountain, but then make several nests and put an egg in each of them. Yinzi, those hens are willing to lay in it, which saves a lot of trouble and brings back a lot of eggs.

Su Zi pickled part of it, and continued to eat it every day, and gave a lot to her natal family, and sold the rest. Although an egg is only two pennies, it can't stand the quantity, and it is worth a fortune. Small income, in fact, eggs are considered expensive things, because an egg costs two pennies, and a catty of tofu is only one penny.

Most people are reluctant to eat eggs, and there is no large-scale breeding at this time. They are basically free-range. Even if there are eggs, it is not bad to save [-] or [-] eggs a month. The price is so high, who is willing to eat it by themselves? .

Only Su Zi has no idea, and she has never been short of money, and she is a generous person. Fortunately, Li Qingshan doesn't care about these things, otherwise she would have to fight with her.
But raising chickens was originally proposed by Su Zi herself, and it can be regarded as her property. Li Qingshan doesn't care what she does, as long as she is happy. What I didn't expect was that this year, eggs alone will bring in nearly 20 taels of silver.

Their chickens are well fed. The chicks start to lay eggs in five months. On average, one chicken lays one egg a day. This year, a total of 150 chicks were caught, and 140 five survived. There were more than 30 roosters, plus last year's 30 A pheasant starts laying eggs very early, which is quite impressive.

During the breeding season, hens lay eggs more frequently, but when the weather is cold, they will die. Su Zi thinks that the hens caught this year should not be sold, and wait for next year to lay eggs. The roosters will keep four or five and sell the rest with the pheasants.

"Will it be too many?" Li Qingshan felt that there were more than 100 hens alone.

"You don't know how to feed? Anyway, there is nothing to do in winter, you can't go hunting all the time, and my mother, if we let her know that we sold the old hen that laid eggs, she will scold us to death." In ancient times, selling or eating an old hen that was laying eggs was a prodigal act, and only women who could not live a life would do it.

Li Qingshan compromised after thinking about it, also, this year is no different from previous years, even if he goes hunting in winter, he will not leave Ah Zi alone at home, by that time she will probably be pregnant, it is too dangerous for him to be at home alone.
