Chapter 610 Adoption
When Mrs. Chen Shao heard that Zhenzhu had a poor appetite and didn't want to eat anything, whether it was light or heavy, she told Zhenzhu to try pickling some Laba garlic.
In theory, Laba garlic is pickled before the Laba Festival. It is already June, and I wonder if we can pickle Laba garlic. Mrs. Chen Shao smiled and said that Laba garlic can actually be pickled in summer. Although the temperature is higher in summer, we can put the pickled Laba garlic in the cellar at night for refrigeration.
The temperature in Mobei is not high in summer, and many families store ice and snow from the winter in cellars. When the time comes, they can just put some ice cubes around.
Since it can be made, I pickled some of the flower buds after returning home, just in case I like to eat them. In fact, pickling Laba garlic is relatively simple.
Choose fresh garlic, peel off the skin, and leave the inner garlic flesh. Put the garlic in a water-free and oil-free container, add brown sugar and aged vinegar, seal it and refrigerate it in the cellar.
Take it out during the day and put it in a warm place to create a temperature difference. This will speed up the greening of the garlic cloves and make them taste good.
After a while, when the garlic cloves turn green, you can eat them. They taste sour and spicy, with a sweet aftertaste, and are very suitable for eating with porridge.
I tried the pearls and liked them very much. However, I didn't dare to eat too much. I just ate a few pieces every day to stimulate my appetite. Before I knew it, my appetite had been stimulated.
However, Hualei thought it was just so-so. She seemed to prefer the taste of spicy cabbage to Laba garlic. So, Hualei put the extra Laba garlic in Baiweilou.
The weather is getting warmer, and the number of rabbits in my rabbit farm is increasing. These villagers who signed a three-year work agreement with me are still helping with irrigation and weeding in my farm.
I don’t know if they are used to it or for some other reason, but every morning when they come, each of them will bring some green grass to give to me.
Hualei looked carefully and found that some of the grass was very fresh and still covered with dew, which meant it was cut in the morning. However, some of the grass had no dew, which meant it was cut the night before.
Seeing Pei Zhuangtou driving a mule cart every day to deliver the grass brought by the villagers to the rabbit farm, Hualei's mind turned to something else.
On this day, taking advantage of the fine weather, Hualei rode a horse-drawn carriage to her farm. Many villagers were helping to dredge ditches and apply fertilizers to the crops in the fields.
When the villagers were given food and rested in the morning, Hualei sat among them and asked the village chief's daughter-in-law, Li, "Auntie, may I ask, the grass you bring to me every day, is it cut by you on the road, or is it cut by your family members?"
Li was stunned and asked anxiously, "Boss, is there something wrong with our fodder? I cut mine directly on the way here this morning, but my family did help cut it in advance and brought it here this morning."
Hualei shook her hand and said with a smile, “There is absolutely no problem with the fodder, I just feel embarrassed that you guys bring me fodder every day.
If you are good at mowing the lawn, I have a business here. Are you interested in cooperating with me? I can't guarantee that you will make money, but it is also an extra income. Do you want to try it? "
"Boss, what's your business?" Aunt Fang asked. Her husband went to help the court build a state capital. Her father-in-law was ill recently and was lying in bed, still taking medicine.
My mother-in-law is old and can’t do any heavy physical work. She can only cook, take care of the boss and look after the children at home.
There are three children, the oldest is 11 years old and the youngest is 5 years old. They help with laundry, mowing the lawn, and feeding the chickens and ducks.
She was responsible for almost all the farm work at home, so she was very busy. The fodder she brought was cut by her daughter last night, so that she could sleep for an extra quarter of an hour every day.
"It's like this, do you want to raise rabbits? I have a lot of rabbits in my rabbit farm, and a lot of them have been born recently." Hua Lei asked.
When Aunt Fang heard this, the expression on her face dimmed a lot. She shrank her neck and said awkwardly, "Boss, we don't have any money. Buying a pair of rabbits will cost at least seven or eight hundred coins."
Her husband's monthly salary after the New Year had not yet been received. The money she received before the New Year was used to pay for her father-in-law's medical treatment and medicine. The room in front of her house collapsed due to the snowstorm and had not been rebuilt yet. The family had been squeezed into two thatched houses. At this time, she was penniless.
"I know, I'm not selling them to you, but you can adopt them. I'm giving you a few rabbits for free, and you can take them home and raise them.
If you take good care of them, they will give birth to little rabbits in three or four months. When the time comes, I will give you 20% of the little rabbits as your reward.
Eighty percent of the little rabbits will belong to me, and you can continue to raise the female rabbits. If you continue to raise them, I will still give you 20 percent of the little rabbits in the next litter.
If you don't want to continue raising breeding rabbits, I can return them to me without you having to pay any additional fees. What do you think?"
Seeing the villagers who were a little confused, Hualei explained, "Twenty percent of the rabbits are given to you, free of charge. If the breeding rabbit gives birth to ten rabbits, then two of them are yours.
If the breeder rabbit only gives birth to five rabbits, then only one is yours. Of course, if you are lucky and the rabbit gives birth to fifteen, then three are for you.
If you have any small rabbits left, I can give them to you at a discount." Hualei whispered softly.
"What if I raise rabbits for a year and they give birth to three litters, then 20% of the rabbits in the three litters will belong to me?" Aunt Fang said in disbelief.
"In that case, if I get one baby rabbit per litter, and there are three litters a year, I get three baby rabbits for free? If I raise a few more female rabbits, does that mean 20% of the baby rabbits they give birth to are all mine?"
Aunt Fang is pretty good at math, Hualei smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's what I mean. But you also have to ensure the safety of the breeding rabbits.
You can’t treat them casually, and you can’t kill them at will. If you kill them and eat them on purpose, I will ask you to compensate me. Hualei also said something ugly in advance. “If the breeding rabbits die, you have to give them back to me with baby rabbits.”
"This...this, Boss, is this okay?" The village chief's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, asked hesitantly and uneasily.
"I'm telling you today that you can go back and think about it for a few days and discuss it with the village chief. If you think it's okay, I'll draw up an agreement and we'll finalize it.
Of course, if you don't want to raise one, that's absolutely fine, everything is voluntary. If you want to raise one, it's best to do it in a village, which will be more convenient.
Also, I suggest that if you have many children at home and you can mow the grass, you can adopt a few more rabbits. Generally, I will give you three female rabbits to one male rabbit. "
