The happy little days of the Ye family

In the afternoon, Father Ye returned home from selling braised pork. Village Chief Yang and Li Huhu of Dashan Village were waiting for him at home.

It had rained heavily for several days recently, and many mushrooms and bamboo shoots grew on the mountains.

Dashan Village is surrounded by mountains and there is very little cultivated land. The whole village goes out to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig spring bamboo shoots.

The two of them came here to deliver dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots. In addition to delivering dry goods, they also had other things they wanted to discuss with Father Ye, so they chose to come here in the afternoon when Father Ye was at home.

Village Chief Yang was very enthusiastic. He patted Father Ye on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "Since the end of the year, the village has collected a total of 800 kilograms of dried mushrooms and 960 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots."

"But there are only two donkey carts in the village. Today we transported 400 kilograms of dried mushrooms and 500 kilograms of dried bamboo shoots. We will transport the rest tomorrow."

Although people in Dashan Village have made some money in the past two years by selling bacon and mountain products, there are still very few families who buy land to build donkey carts.

"It's okay, it's okay. It will be the same when it's shipped over tomorrow."

This is understandable, as big items like donkey carts are not something you can just buy. Taohua Village is considered a relatively wealthy village, and not many people can afford donkey carts.

Father Ye and Mrs. Ye opened the sacks containing the dry goods and inspected them one by one. The dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots sent from Dashan Village were indeed good, in good condition and dried enough. Both mother and son were very satisfied.

In order to cooperate with Ye's father for a long time, Village Chief Yang specifically told the villagers to only want good mountain products, and he also strictly controlled the harvest.

Father Ye happily gave the money to Village Chief Yang.

Li Orion also brought thirty rabbit skins to Father Ye. Li Orion made more skins and his craftsmanship became better and better. The rabbit skins brought this time feel almost the same as those collected by Yefu's village in Shanli.

Father Ye felt these soft rabbit skins and was happy for Orion Li. He finally figured out the recipe for tanning the skins.

At the same time, he was also happy for himself. There would be no shortage of skins to make rabbit fur coats in the future. Although the profit of rabbit fur coats was far less than that of wolf fur coats, rabbit furs were produced in large quantities and a lot of money could be made.

Father Ye collected all the rabbit skins brought by Orion Li, and the price also increased a lot for Orion Li. Both of them were very happy.

Ye's father was envious of Li Orion's craftsmanship, and came up with a good idea.

"Brother Li, my future son-in-law has raised a lot of rabbits, and I am going to raise some rabbits myself. Do you think you can help us tantalize the skins?"

"There are not many rabbits raised now. When the breeding farm is completed, the number of rabbits will increase. We don't want you to work in vain. You can make a piece of skin for 8 cents. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Orion was straightforward and said straight to the point: "It's no problem to help you tan the leather, but I have to go back and calculate the price."

"I have recently researched the new formula. I haven't calculated how much a piece of leather will cost. I'll go back and make a calculation at night. We'll discuss tanning the leather tomorrow when the dry goods are delivered. .”

Father Ye smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Li, please go back and calculate the price first. I'm not in a hurry. The rabbits in the farm haven't been raised yet."

Then Father Ye looked at the village chief again, "By the way, Village Chief Yang, I heard from my mother that you came over this time to discuss something with me. What is it?"

"Dashan Village is surrounded by mountains. There are many rabbits on the mountains. The village wants to raise some rabbits to make wax rabbits. I wonder if you can accept the rabbits here?"

Village Chief Yang reminded again: "This is a rabbit breeding farm run by the village. Once the rabbits are raised, the number of rabbits may be larger."

In fact, Village Chief Yang knew from the long-term worker of the Ye family that the Ye family wanted to raise rabbits. He was naturally quite stupid to be the village chief. He immediately thought that there was little cultivated land here, but there were many mountains and grass, and rabbits were also needed. There are many, which is perfect for raising rabbits.

Father Ye had collected a lot of wild boars, rabbits and chickens in Dashan Village before. If all the rabbits he raised were made into rabbits, the village would have a stable income.

Rabbits eat grass and cost nothing. They are much safer than going to the mountains to collect herbs or hunt. Everyone in the village agrees with raising rabbits.

Father Ye said happily: "As long as the bacon tastes the same as before, I will take as much as you can."

There were many merchants on the dock, and Father Ye was not worried about not being able to sell.

Village Chief Yang was very excited, "Okay, okay, I will ask the hunters in the village to catch more live rabbits and raise them when I get back, and make them into bacon rabbits. I guarantee that the taste will be the same as before. You can rest assured about this."

Spring is the breeding season for animals, and no hunter in the mountain village will go into the mountains to hunt at this time.

In order to raise rabbits, the men and women in the village went to the mountains to find rabbit nests, and used smoke to smoke many rabbits out. The rabbit breeding farm in Dashan Village was quickly established.

The Ye family's rabbit shed has also been built. The long-term workers of the Ye family are hunters from Dashan Village. They easily caught many rabbits in the mountains and raised them.

The breeding rabbits raised by Tang Xiaojing also gave birth to many little rabbits one after another. The half-grown rabbits gradually grew up and became pregnant and gave birth to little rabbits one after another. The eight newly built rabbit sheds were gradually filled with fluffy little rabbits. rabbit.
