Chapter 182

"This group of people should be treated like this, or they will always step on your head with the help of Xintong." Autumn mother-in-law wiped the water on her hands, cut a sweet potato with a red heart, divided it into several sections, and handed a piece to song Xintong, "this sweet potato is very sweet. Last year, she planted this kind of sweet potato with a red heart, and it also produced a lot of powder."

Song Xintong took a piece and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet.

Aunt Xie also snapped, "Ye Guihua, relying on her daughter to be the concubine of the master, brags all day long. She dares to say anything. One day she will have bad luck."

"Don't pay any attention to her. She's just jealous that the workshop has made a lot of money. She happens to meet song Changyuan, a scholar in the exam, and she's there to hold her high and step on her low." Autumn mother-in-law looked back at a few women washing sweet potatoes by the river, "we wash sweet potatoes now, and we can earn more than one or two silver in a month. Everyone is thinking about you in the bottom of our hearts."

Song Xintong said, "mother-in-law Qiu, will you wash your hands with the river water?"

"No, it's all in May. It's hot. The water is cool." Autumn mother-in-law son hey hey of smile a few, then and Xie Auntie say: "we grow in the field of two acres of pepper to pull grass, you don't all day outside hang around, don't forget to drench dung."

"Don't worry, mother. I'm staring at you." Aunt Xie helped mother-in-law Qiu move a piece of cleaned sweet potato to the dam. "Mother, don't do this job. Let other people in the village do it. I'm afraid you'll get sick again."

"I've already advised mother-in-law Qiu to have a rest. Brother Dayi has come to the workshop to help. Aunt Xie still has to take care of sister-in-law Juan. Uncle Xie can't help herself in the county. If you are tired and sick, what can you do?" Song Xintong said, pulling qiupozi.

"What Xintong said is reasonable. Niang, you have to listen to Xintong." Aunt Xie echoed.

"I have a sense of propriety. I won't come when may is over." Qiupozi and song Xintong said, "when the time comes, Xintong, you can invite others to come."

"Well, I remember all that." Song Xintong sat on one side of the bench, just a few people who heard the news from their relatives pulled the cart to drag hundreds of Jin of sweet potatoes to come, watching He Xi they weighed and counted to pay, the action is very sharp.

Aunt Xie joked: "Hey, a few boys are out of class."

He Xi felt his head embarrassed, and then said to song Xintong, "Xintong, I went in to settle accounts."

"Good." Song Xintong didn't ask much. He leaned against the chair to bask in the sun. The sun in May was warm and comfortable.

"Xintong, how was your business on the fifth day yesterday?" Akiko asked as she peeled sweet potatoes.

"Not bad." Last night, Zhuang GUI took back the account book. Besides the cost, he also made a net profit of two or three hundred Liang, which is a gratifying achievement.

"Yesterday, there was no business in the county, so I sold more than a hundred yuan. I don't know if I can earn the rent this month." Aunt Xie sighed, "I knew I would go to the wharf to rent a shop."

"Don't worry, auntie. Yesterday there were so many people because of the opening of the wharf. In a few days, everyone's curiosity will drop, and they will still go to the city for dinner."

"That's not necessarily. Now most people go to work on the wharf, and there must be fewer people going to the city. I wonder if I want to rent a shop on the wharf with he family." Aunt Xie is more and more smart now, and her vision is getting better and better.

"My aunt can go and have a look, but I heard the person in charge of the wharf say that all the shops on the main street have been rented out, and there are only some places not facing the street. If my aunt wants to do it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it's even worse to rent in the future." Song Xintong told aunt Xie the news he heard yesterday.

"Well, I'll see it in the afternoon." Aunt Xie stopped, "Xintong, where's your shop? Are they all rented out? "

Song Xintong heart clapping, "all rent out."

Aunt Xie said, "what do you do next door? Don't rob your family of business, do you? "

"No, one is a cloth shop and the other is a grocery store."

"That's very good. I heard from the owner of the butcher's shop that you've bought ducks, chickens and pig's feet in large quantities. If you want me to say, Xintong, you'd better feed it yourself. You can have less capital."

Song Xintong slightly pick eyebrow, "or aunt you feed it, I'll buy with you later."

Aunt Xie waved her hand: "how can I be? We don't have the energy. " Said a little closer, "Xintong, you can really feed yourself. You need so many duck necks now. It's not cost-effective to buy them all."

Song Xintong nodded, his mind also moved up, self-sufficiency is really good, but it is to spend more time and energy.

She has to think about it.

At noon, song Xintong came home wobbly.

"Sister, where have you been?"

"Sister, you are back." Two people say with one voice.

"I went to the riverside workshop for a walk." Song Xintong looked at the twins with a basket beside him. "What do you two do with a basket?"

Dabao raised the basket and lifted the blue cloth. "It's a rabbit."

Song Xintong looked at the basket and found that there were two hairy rabbits in it. He reached out and touched it. It was quite comfortable, "where did you come from?"

"Sister Daya went into the mountain yesterday afternoon and caught it. I wanted to show it to sister a in the morning, but she hasn't got up yet." Dabao looked at Song Xintong with the basket in his hand, "sister, here you are."

"For me?" Song Xintong looked at two half big rabbits, "sister wants to eat rabbit meat."

"Ah?" Xiaobao quickly took the basket back and looked at Song Xintong with disapproval: "sister, the little rabbit is so cute, how can you eat a rabbit?"

"Madam, you must not eat rabbit when you are pregnant." Wang, who came out of the kitchen, said quickly.

Song Xintong was surprised: "why?"

"I don't know. I only know it's an old saying handed down from a long time ago. It says that if a pregnant woman eats rabbit meat, the baby's lips will be..." Wang said in a low voice after a pause. "I've seen many discarded babies before, all of them have lips like rabbits."

Song Xintong let out a cry. She was afraid of cleft lip, but modern people say that it's because of taking medicine and smoking. However, she'd rather believe that it's something than nothing. After all, there is no surgeon to help correct it, so it's better to eat less.

Xiaobao happily asked: "sister, keep it?"

Song Xintong said, "keep it."

Daya said: "this rabbit is a male and a female. It's better to raise them separately. They can have a few litters in two months."

"So fast?" Song Xintong had never raised a rabbit. He really didn't know that the rabbit was breeding so fast.

"No, a rabbit can give birth to at least seven or eight at a time, and even twelve more. I'm afraid there must be at least fifty or sixty rabbits a year." Wang said, "these two rabbits will be able to mate for another month. At that time, the slaves will be open again."

Looking at the rabbit taken away by Wang, song Xintong has an idea in his heart. He can't wait to go to the study to discuss her breeding plan with Lu Yunkai.
