Rise of Nongmen

When Ye Chen and Ye Chun joined the crowd with seven pheasants and two hares on their shoulders, the friends were stunned, they stopped what they were doing, and swarmed to the two. In front of people, they all asked about the hunting process.

Ye Chun first learned that he was acting as a commentator at this moment, and he said that Ye Chen was so powerful that he was omnipotent and omnipotent. Not only did the friends not question it, but they listened with great interest.

Ye Chen smiled, Ye Hu and others were naturally not so easy to deceive, they just listened to this as a wonderful story, just like treating those legends and anecdotes.

But listening to it, everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on the alive and kicking prey on the ground, with longing in their eyes, but no one asked for it.

Ye Chen glanced at the sky, the sun was already in full swing, and it was slack season, and the farmers seldom had three meals, so it was convenient for entertaining people, so he said immediately: "I will treat guests at noon, add some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and kill a fat rabbit to stew on it." One pot, everyone will taste the meat today."

"Isn't that good?" Song Yang refused with difficulty.

Ye Chen didn't persuade, and directly changed his excuse: "If you don't feel sorry, help me mow grass for an hour in a few days."

Labor is worthless, Uncle Chen is helping them in a disguised form, the thought of not agreeing, Fat Rabbit will leave him, Ye Chun, who is the closest to Ye Chen in age and the most playful, is the first to express his attitude: "I will go. "

Some people set an example, how can others lag behind?This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this time, you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey if you want to eat meat next time.

These days, every household is not rich, and spring plowing food can't be saved. If you spend more, don't you just make up for it during the slack season?It is conceivable that everyone is short of oil and water, especially these half-sized children are in the development stage, with a huge appetite, and two meals a day can't meet their physical needs at all.

Normally, everyone didn't feel much after suffering like this, but now they were stimulated by the delicious fresh mushrooms of rabbit meat, and their saliva was secreted rapidly. It's clean, even Ye Yao and Ye Hui don't have a share, let alone Ye Chen.

When going up the mountain, he carried an empty basket, but when he went down the mountain, he was relaxed. This was the first time Ye Chen had encountered such a situation, and it felt quite fresh.

A group of eight people marched into the village, especially Ye Chun, who walked in front of the five people. Each of them was carrying either a pheasant or a hare. It was difficult not to attract attention. The news that Ye Chen had hunted more than ten kinds of wild game spread instantly. .

Everyone had a delicious meal at noon, and even Bai's worries were mostly gone. Unfortunately, the fly in the ointment was that someone came uninvited, not just one.

Fortunately, these people are shameless, and the ones who came were all children. The Bai family was not easy to chase them away, and they couldn't. The Ye family owed money to these children's families more or less.

Ye Chen didn't have such scruples, he just didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so he didn't attack.

Repaying debts is justified, but it is annoying to take advantage of it endlessly. Many things are ruined by some trivial things.

It's up to Mrs. Bai to worry about it, and Ye Chen doesn't care. He still has things to do in the afternoon. Apart from saving a pheasant for the evening banquet for the uncle's family, he has to deal with the remaining seven wild game.

Years of wars have led to a sharp decrease in prey in the mountains and forests around the village, and game prices are not bad. Even the most common pheasants and hares can be sold at a good price, not to mention the live chickens and rabbits provided by Ye Chen. It will not be unsalable, even if you miss the market, it will be sold at the market price very quickly. Six pheasants and one hare sold for more than 200 Wen in total.

Don't underestimate this little money. At the current price, you can buy nearly one stone of rice, which is more than 100 catties. It is enough for a strong laborer to eat dry rice for nearly two months. If you replace it with coarse grains, you can eat it for longer.

The problem was that the Ye family owed a lot of foreign debts, and this amount of money couldn't even fill the hole, so Ye Chen didn't rush to pay back the money, went to the nearby villages, and brought home a few lambs.

Ye Xue and Ye Shuang narrowed their eyes when they saw "baa baa" called a ball of white lambs, while Bai Shi and Song Shi were both happy and worried.During this period of time, they also saw that Ye Chen was more stubborn than before. He just knew how to be roundabout and would not be hard-pressed directly. However, he showed the facts that he would persevere if he wanted to do it, even if everyone disagreed.

"Master, do you think Chen'er's behavior is good or bad?" At this moment, there was no one else, and Bai asked Song while spinning.

"I don't know, but don't they all say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune? The third brother can let him do it if he wants to. No matter how bad it is, there will be no last sheep left." Song's subordinates kept moving, Wen Sheng said, "My son asked someone a few days ago. A mature sheep can be as little as [-] Wen, and as many as [-] Wen. If only one of them survives, it will almost pay back the cost. Maybe there will be some profit. Let's be careful." , don’t make people rush, it’s not a problem to save capital if you want to.”

"If five sheep live, one will get back the cost?" Bai's heart was shocked. She had raised sheep before. If there are fewer, the survival rate is not low. Basically, two or three sheep can survive. Even if there is a discount, half will live if they die Half of it, I am afraid that the annual income is no less than that of planing food in the soil.

After such a calculation, Bai's hands trembled slightly, she really didn't know, but she was taken aback by the calculation, why had she never thought of this before?

The Bai family obviously thinks things are too simple. Most people in the world seek stability, and few people borrow money to start a business. Even if Ye Chen really made a lot of money by raising sheep, few in Suifeng Village dare to follow suit.

This is true everywhere, even in the modern society where the wisdom of the people has been developed, how many people dare to go to the sea to try, most of them still want to hold an iron job for the rest of their lives?

Besides, there is also the issue of cost involved. The one acre of pasture grass is the most important contribution. Without it, the daily consumption of forage grass alone would make Ye's family feel overwhelmed. This is why the villagers raise sheep in scattered ways. , Gein must have a stable source of forage to scale.

In the next few days, Ye Chen went to the mountains every morning and the town in the afternoon, but the harvest was not as good as every day.There is no way, the total amount of prey on the outskirts of Luoyan Mountain is limited, if you want more, you can only go deep or move your position to other places.

If you want to go deep, you can't rely on a slingshot. The place is either too far away, or it belongs to another village, and crossing the border will easily cause disputes.

Ye Chen: "Xue'er, how many sheep are there now?"

"88, one died." Thinking back to this day, Ye Xue still feels distressed.

"The sheep are still in the shed, haven't they been let out?"

"No."

"Don't put them in the pasture in the future, cut the grass and feed it until it's ready for slaughter."

"Okay, uncle, I'll write it down." Ye Xue was puzzled, but she didn't ask. The younger ones were responsible for feeding the sheep, and she was the oldest, and she was in charge.

88 is not far from [-], which is almost enough, and the excess pasture will be sold to the Lucky Mall. Although the money cannot be used, it will not be wasted, and can be used to buy items in the Lucky Mall.

Ye Chen came to the grassland, squatted down to check, and saw that it was almost the best harvest time, he was relieved.Lucky Mall's bills are not easy to owe. If you can't even pay the interest, you will wait for Lucky Mall to close down.

There are still two days before the opening of the Lucky Mall, and Ye Chen plans to go to the mountain again. He really doesn't have any money left, so it would be nice to have a little more.

This time the harvest was no different from the previous ones. Ye Chen was not lucky. He had hunted high-value prey, and he hadn’t picked top-quality medicinal materials. better than nothing.

Ye Chen didn't underestimate the money. Lucky Mall is still in its infancy, and the goods it sells won't be ridiculously expensive. You may not be able to buy anything else for more than 100 coins. It's enough to buy a few catties of fruits that are not available in the local area, or special snacks. , It depends on whether he is lucky enough to get the right goods for him. If all the items are sky-high prices and can't be bought, the trip to the Lucky Mall will be considered a waste.

In the evening of that day, Ye Chen made an appointment with Ye Chun and the other five to harvest pasture early tomorrow morning.

At dawn the next day, Ye Chun and the others went straight to their destination with their sickles in their hands. In addition to the eight members of the Ye family, there were 13 people in total, each of whom didn't even reach a single point of land. It didn't take an hour at all. It's done before it arrives.

Ye Chen didn't even eat, so he set up the ox cart borrowed from the village elder's house, pulled a cart of pasture and went out: "Mother, Chunzi and the others, you say hello, I'll deliver the forage."

"Chen'er, can this thing really be exchanged for the items you mentioned?" Mrs. Bai didn't doubt that the forage could be sold for money, but she was just surprised that her youngest son had a wide range of connections, and even got on a regular pasture, and in exchange for five high-quality sickles, one Shepherd puppy.With such a good price, even if the cart puts the cart before the horse and sells all the pasture, and her lambs have to be mowed and fed, she is also happy.

"Ah."

"Then go quickly, don't waste other people's time."

Ye Chen was speechless for a while, the charm of money is really extraordinary, even a person like Bai who is about to regard his son as his heaven is very happy, in order to get the things earlier, he even urged him to work, if he wants to be a profiteer, why not wave it Whip?

To the north of Suifeng Village is Luoyan Mountain, bypassing it is the grassland. There are many herdsmen living there. They don't have much contact with each other at ordinary times, and they only meet each other when they are in the county town.

Ye Chen grasped this blind spot, and he didn't say which herdsman tribe he was trading with. Once he got to the place he had been optimistic about, he got out of the car to check that there was no one around, and immediately sold all the grass to Lucky Mall.

After going back and forth several times, Ye Chen didn't complete the whole transaction process until it was almost dark.

Grass is worthless, and the harvest of an entire acre of land is less than three taels of silver per season. After deducting the cost of forage seeds and interest, Ye Chen only has nearly ten taels of silver in his hands. Two or six dollars.

Among the six kinds of goods provided by Lucky Mall this issue, he couldn’t even afford the minimum quantity of three, and the remaining three were low-grade scythes (efficiency increased by [-]%) for one hundred yuan a piece, and low-grade shepherd dog puppies for one or two One, low-grade crispy green plums, and two small cans of Baiwen.

After buying as planned, Ye Chen only had two pennies left in his hand!
