Then he put the pheasant in the chicken pen, and then led the goat to the pig pen and raised it first.
It's too cold during the New Year, and raising pigs is too troublesome. The housekeeper has no plans at the moment, so the pig pen is empty and no pigs are being raised.
Keep two pairs of goats here for now.
The female goat's eyes clearly showed violence and disobedience, but the animal's nature is more sensitive. It felt the fear of Guan Chibei, so it still did not dare to move. It only anxiously protected the child and walked around the pig pen.
Guan Chibei glanced at them indifferently, without any reaction, and went to prepare food and drink for the goats.
The baby goats are still young, and the two female goats are still nursing and are very plump.
The two pairs of goats, mother and son, were raised, which was just right. In fact, it would be quite difficult for the mother goat to carry such a small lamb over the winter without bringing them back.
They may live a good life when they get to the housekeeper, who won't be ready to kill them for a while.
Once they become familiar with it and calm down, they will be fine.
After Guan Chibei went out, he returned to the mountain. Two roe deer and a big deer were not picked up yet.
It was really impossible to get them on the previous trip, so Guan Chibei tied the three living creatures with tree vines and went up the mountain again.
The people in the village could no longer close their mouths. They watched Guan Chibei go up and down the mountain several times and return home with rich prey. They were all speechless.
··
The housekeeper suddenly added a lot of living animals to his house, which they will take care of and raise in the coming autumn and winter!
The house seemed to come alive all of a sudden. Although the presence of Yin Qi in the north of the pool would weaken the vitality of the living creatures, generally speaking, they just did not dare to escape. After they became familiar with the environment and settled down, they would have food and drink. The eyes of the living creatures are much brighter and more lively.
Who doesn’t like having a house full of living things? !
During the previous period, Guan Chibei had been tidying up the various circles in the backyard when he was at home, and now he finally put it to use.
In the evening, Aunt Rong and the others came back, rubbing their hands and coming in, "It's really getting colder and colder today. When we went down the mountain this morning, the grass on both sides was already covered in frost."
Aunt Rong and the others hurried into the kitchen. Now everyone is having dinner in the kitchen, which is warmer.
Today, Sister-in-law Guan stayed at home and had already prepared dinner. A large pot of sweet potato rice porridge was served with a few side dishes, including fried wild duck eggs and a small stir-fried pork. It was already sold in the village. rich.
The porridge is thick and bubbling, a warm bowl, the heat hits your face, and it feels warm in your hands. It is really the best dinner on this cold night.
The family sat down around the table. Aunt Rong took a sip of porridge and then said, "It seems like this business won't last a few days."
In fact, it is getting colder and colder now, and it is estimated that it will start to snow in less than half a month.
"I don't know when the Yuan River will be closed to navigation, but I think once the river shows signs of freezing, the boats will no longer be able to sail. However, the pier has become more and more densely packed with people in the past few days. I think they are rushing to take the boat to do errands, so business is quite busy. It’s important to keep doing it.”
The man who was in charge of Big Brother and his family never talked much, so he only talked about Aunt Rong.
“But we also have to prepare to close our stalls for the winter.”
"Then we have to start building the wall," Guan Chibei said: "At this time, after the wall is built, the stall will stop and spend the winter at home."
The housekeeper nodded and agreed. Although the money he had earned recently would not be used elsewhere and would be used to build the fence, this was also a home renovation and a decision made by the whole family.
Who says that increased security will not benefit everyone? Moreover, autumn and winter are most afraid of wild beasts running down the mountain. After the last time someone stole a child, not to mention the safety of the baby, after that incident, everyone was also wary of bad guys entering the house.
Aunt Rong took out all the money she earned these days. When the whole family counted it, they had about eighty taels of silver!
The housekeeper and his family were really shocked.
I thought that no matter how good the business was and I earned a lot, I would only have one or two taels of silver at most, which was already relatively rich.
I never expected that there would be more than eight taels of silver!
For a moment, all the housekeepers were still.
Although Aunt Rong herself counted the money every day and knew it well, at this moment, her heart was still trembling, as if those copper plates were hot to the touch, she stared at them fiercely and did not dare to touch them.
Ye Lulun is a little funny. She calculates money every day, so she knows very well, "Don't you calculate money every day? It takes a little more than a month to complete the business. In the first six or seven days, the cost was recovered, and then it was all We made a pure profit, earning hundreds of copper coins every day. Later, the business got better and better, and we could still make eight or nine hundred copper coins a day, which was almost one tael of silver... If rice and noodles were not counted as capital, we could earn There’s more.”
The housekeeper is so funny... Do they keep accounts every day and think they only make a little money
Ye Lulu smiled.
The butlers looked at Ye Lulu in shock.
Not really, they just never thought that they would have access to such a large amount of money... so they all fell into a stunned silence.
"Especially these days," Ye Lulu, although he didn't go out to set up the stall, but knew everything, added: "Didn't Mom say that the sea is going to be closed soon, the weather will be colder, and there will be more people buying porridge? Guan Chibei fishes every day Well, all the chickens at home have been slaughtered, and the business is getting better and better."
Aunt Rong trembled. Oh my god, if Lulu hadn't proposed the business, she would never have imagined that she could have so much money! !
This income was really beyond her expectation!
At this moment, Aunt Rong was determined and announced that she would continue to do this business from now on!
The money earned from doing business these days is more than imagined, so the housekeeper must build a wall so that he can have some extra money after renovating the housekeeper.
This is just ready for winter.
Because Guan Chibei hunted for prey, but there were many other things to buy during the New Year, not to mention there was not enough land in the mountains, and the villagers had to buy food.
People in Yunwu Village work hard in the city all year round in order to save money to buy food to survive the winter.
But the housekeeper just happened to start a business a year ago, and now he can stay in bed for the winter.
Next, Aunt Rong and the others continued to go to the city to set up stalls every day. Even though the weather was getting colder and colder, they still set up stalls every day, and they were full of fighting spirit and more passionate.
It is necessary to finish the business on the wharf before the Yuan River was closed to navigation.
Make more money.
As for Sister-in-law Guan and Sister-in-law Guan, there is always one available, and they take the two men, Guan Chixi or Guan Chinan, with them, and they go to the city to do some shopping and start stocking up for the winter! !
At the same time, the housekeeper made a plan together and went to find a house builder to start building the wall around the house.
In addition, I spent money to buy the material for building walls - mud bricks. In the Shang Dynasty, building materials have been diverse. The most noble and wealthy families have blue bricks, fired tiles, etc., and even some modern technologies, but that is something that very few people can have.
As for most ordinary people, if they are farmers and have no money, of course they will build houses made of yellow mud, wood, or even thatched houses made of grass.
People who have a little money can also use mud bricks. Mud bricks are different from blue bricks. They are actually made of water, silt and straw. After mixing, they are beaten with a wooden grid and placed in the wooden grid. Then use wooden boards to smooth it.
Leave it for a few days, open the wooden lattice, and it will become mud bricks. Mud bricks were available in the Shang Dynasty. The price was not low, but it was lower than clay-fired green bricks. Some people who had extra money would choose to build their houses with mud bricks, but most farmers did not have this. condition.
The housekeeper also calculated the money in his hand.
It actually doesn't cost much to call someone who specializes in house building, because it's just building a fence, and the housekeeper could have done it himself, but he just has to take care of business.
It would cost more to buy mud bricks.
But the housekeeper hesitated a little and bought mud bricks. This was the same as when the housekeeper first built the house. Everyone thought that building walls would take a long time and cost money!
So, in the past few days, a team dedicated to building houses for people at the foot of the mountain went up the mountain, entered Yunwu Village, and arrived at the housekeeper. They began to look at the land, measure, and ponder. They also brought in mud bricks one after another, and then began to build the walls.
Wow, mother!
This is definitely a big move that cannot be concealed in the village!
The special house-building team in the city came with more than a dozen people. All of them were strong men and knew how to build and build houses. They gathered together with the housekeeper. This was a huge momentum!
Naturally, everyone in Yunwu Village was shocked!
There was a heated discussion at the beginning and end of the village, and groups of villagers came to watch.
Oh my god, what's wrong with the housekeeper? Where did the money come from? He's quietly starting to renovate the house!
What does their housekeeper want to do
Is it building a new house or something
Everyone was curious and surprised. They gathered outside the housekeeper in shock, and the place was filled with chaos. Some people thought something was wrong.
"What's wrong with the housekeeper? He's suddenly rich?! Don't their housekeepers have many sons? They were so poor before?!"
"Butler, this battle is huge!"
"What are you doing, building a house?"
“Where did the housekeeper get the money!!”
The villagers hissed in amazement, and most of the voices were talking about how the housekeeper, who was completely poor before, suddenly had money and wanted to build a house.
Indeed, building a house is a big deal no matter what at this time.
The villagers were stunned and puzzled. They speculated, discussed, and were jealous. Guan Chibei walked past everyone with a calm face, holding a bunch of money in his hand, and entered the housekeeper's door.
When the villagers saw him, they instantly found the reason, alas, yes! Did the housekeeper’s money come from Guan Xiaoliu’s hunting in the mountains and exchange for the prey
This makes sense. Guan Xiaoliu exchanged prey for money, and Guan Jia had money to build a house!
That's right! Why didn't they remember this
One thing is worth mentioning. Although Mrs. Rong and the others have been doing business during this period, they have only been doing business for more than a month. Due to the severe cold in autumn and winter, although there are more people coming and going on the pier, it is not. There are fewer local people in Yuancheng.
