Chapter 214

In addition to chickens, ducks and rabbits, Zhao Jian also raised cattle, sheep, wild boar, quail and goose.

Zhao Jian strongly recommended: "do you want to change something else? You see how well my wild boar grows, and the sheep has gained more than ten jin after spring."

Zhao Jian wants to buy more of Xu Qing's chickens and rabbits, and he can pay less later. He thinks that a sheep alone can buy dozens of chickens.

But Xu Qing was not interested in these. She said, "I'd like to exchange some quail and goose, but you don't have much..."

Zhao Jian: "I've saved a lot of eggs these two days, and they're already hatching. After a while, quail and Gosling will come out. Then you'll see how many to change."

Xu Qing nodded: "OK."

Zhao Jian: "then this quantity..."

Xu Qing: "I will have a batch of piglets in two months."

Before Zhao Jian's words were finished, he was severely attacked by Xu Qing, "what? Piggy?! Is it a pig? "

Xu Qing: "of course it's a domestic pig."

Zhao Jian took a deep breath: "more or less?"

Xu Qing: "it should be no problem to give you six."

While Zhao Jian was responding to this, he thought to himself that the more he owed, the greater the debt.

Although wild boar meat is good, it has a thick skin and a strong earthy smell. The taste is not as fragrant as domestic pigs. Now everyone is short of oil, no oil fried dishes can not be called vegetables, that is grass!

Only fat pigs can provide them with the oil they need. Thinking of the fragrant lard, Zhao Jian decided that he would buy it no matter how expensive it was!

After discussing with Xu Qing, Zhao Jian filled in the number on the contract and then signed and sealed it.

"Brother Li, do you remember what I told you last time? I'm scared these days..."

"Don't panic. It's time for spring ploughing. Even those who want to work and mess up have to eat."

"So it is."

Li Changting took out a letter to Zhao Jian: "send someone to canglinggou on the outskirts of the capital."

Zhao Jian asked suspiciously, "what is this?"

Li Changting: "a letter asking situ Xiao to pay for the reinforcements."

Zhao Jian immediately revered Li Changting. A letter could make general situ send troops to reinforce him. Zhao Jian could not help congratulating himself that he did not hold the wrong thigh!

Li Changting then said: "the soldiers of Weizhou are less than 5000. Before the reinforcements come, you just need to defend. The other side will attack in a hurry, and there is certainly not enough food and grass. It's nothing to break through the gate of Weizhou. The important thing is not to let the enemy attack here. Most of your troops have to stay at the star lake, surrounded by dense mountains and forests. It's most suitable to set traps..."

With these words, Li Changting taught Zhao Jian some simple and easy-to-use traps and early warning devices. In the mountains and forests without the protection of the city walls, the one who is familiar with the terrain has a better advantage. They have more than 200000 people here, and they have a large number of people, and they also have a great advantage in the number of people.

The main problem is that the generals here are too young to understand anything, and they panic before the enemy comes.

Zhao Jian

Xu Qing and Li Changting stayed in Xinghu for one night and left the next day.

Halfway into the space, Xu Qing put the ten ducklings in the fence, fed some cooked rice soaked in the spring water, and took the forty duck eggs to the brooding hens.

Duanmu ring came out of the cellar and happily showed off to Li Changting: "I have brewed ten kinds of medicinal wine!"

Li Changting threw him a hoe: "go and dig the sweet potatoes."

Duanmu ring took the hoe: "well, I'm going home tomorrow. If I don't go back, my father thinks I'm dead outside."

Xu Qing asked, "when will you be back?"

Duanmu ring: "I'll come back after tomb sweeping."

Xu Qing nodded: "OK, I'll prepare dry food for you. What does your father like to eat, and then bring some special products back."

Duanmu ring: "my father's taste is similar to mine, and he likes what I like. Just do as I like."

Xu Qingdun, duanmuxiang's preference This is too much, she didn't find what Duanmu Xiang didn't like to eat.

In the evening, Xu Qing found a big bamboo basket with a cover and put things in it layer by layer. Duanmu Xiang likes to eat two big packages of dried radish and sweet potato, as well as some Crisp Plum, preserved fruit, mung bean cake, chestnut cake, small Mahua A few jars of jam, honey, chili sauce and so on, with dry food on top.

Looking at the things in the bamboo basket, Xu Qing thought about it and cried, "brother, you go and kill two chickens. I'll bake them for you and lead you to eat them on the road."

Duanmu rang immediately replied, "I want three!"

Xu Qingdun: "that kills four, I and long Pavilion also eat one."

Duanmu Xiang happily went to kill the chicken. Xu Qing began to mix the pickled sauce, and put the pickled chicken directly into the hot oven.

Half an hour later, the delicious and hot roast chicken came out of the oven. Duanmu Xiang couldn't wait to eat one. Xu Qing and Li Changting shared one. The remaining two were wrapped in oil paper and stuffed into Duanmu Xiang's bamboo basket.Duanmuxiang finished the roast chicken and went to the cellar to fill wine. He filled eight bamboo tubes and tied them to the basket with a rope.

The next morning, Duanmu Xiang ate a big bowl of hot and sour noodles and set foot on his way home contentedly.

Xu Qingze and Li Changting came to Yuzhou a few days later.

"Why are you again?" When Deng Shou saw them, he was even more displeased than when he saw them for the first time? I said, you are not in Shezhou, which is the nearest to the capital. Why do you have to come to Yuzhou by a long way? "

Deng Shou knew that Li Changting was passing by on the surface, but actually came to "inspect". He was just not happy. Why does Li Changting have no position now and still have to tell him what to do!

Li Changting looked at Deng Shou's smelly face and asked, "do you need me to show the gold medal?"

Deng Shou's face sank. He clenched his teeth and spat out four words: "no, please come in."

Two people into the city, the city is nothing to see, Li Changting and Xu Qing is going to the rear of Yuzhou City resettlement area.

"How do you spend your winter?" On the way, Li Changting asked Deng Shoudao.

"That's it." Deng Shou answered perfunctorily, but after looking coldly at Li Changting, he explained with some impatience, "it's too cold in winter, and everyone's harvest in Chengdu is not good. Fortunately, our grain storage can last for a year, and we have not starved to death."

When he came to the resettlement area, Xu Qing saw that everyone was working in the field, and even the children followed the adults to do what they could.

"Do you have livestock?" Li Changting asked.

Deng Shou glanced at him warily, and finally took Li Changting and Xu Qing to a cave.

The cave is a large breeding area, in which all kinds of livestock are raised, and even a lot of voles.

Except for voles, there are few others. They can barely provide them to Deng Shou's soldiers. The common people don't think about it.

"We don't have enough for ourselves." Deng Shoudao said, "I'm going to keep all these as seed."
