Chapter 206 Just honor your mother at home
Especially the two clan leaders, Zhao and Zhou, are no strangers to these seafood.
A few years ago, there was a drought in Yuncheng, which caused a lot of crop yield loss.
At that time, even if you had money, it was very difficult to buy food.
Therefore, many people have no choice but to go to fishermen to buy these seafood that no one usually likes to eat to satisfy their hunger.
After buying seafood, I was already very hungry. This kind of food pierced my mouth and I couldn't eat it in big mouths. It was just suffering.
What's more, they don't have the skills of Lao Jiu's wife, and the seafood they make is sometimes fishy and smelly, making it difficult to swallow. Some people even suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after eating seafood...
But things are different now. These seafood that they looked down upon can actually be made so delicious in other people's hands.
And those animal offal used to make hot pot, how come they are so delicious?
As expected of a person from the capital, he is absolutely unambiguous in eating and drinking, and cannot be compared to those mud-legged people.
Patriarch Zhao's face was so red after eating that he had even forgotten the restraint that others should have when treating guests.
"Lao Jiu, if your food is sold in the city, you will definitely make a lot of money."
It is said that the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention.
Patriarch Zhao's voice was not quiet, and the female relatives could hear it clearly.
The second sister-in-law suddenly became interested when she heard that she could make a lot of money.
"Ninth brother and sister, what do you think about us going to the city to sell food like this?"
He Zhiran has no objection to this, but the ingredients and seasonings for making hot pot are not yet available in large quantities.
And I heard that there are not many rich people in Yuncheng. The cost of making hot pot ingredients and seasonings is very high. If the price is too low, you will definitely not make much money.
If the price is too high, I am afraid not many people can afford it.
Therefore, He Zhiran is not in a hurry to run these food industries.
They had just settled in Xiling Village, and the first thing they had to do was to settle down at home.
Although she doesn't know much about business, after all, she has seen many things in her previous life that are not available in this era, and with the blessing of space, it will not be difficult to find some profitable business in the future.
Moreover, Tang Mingrui also came to settle in Yuncheng. When he stabilized, he would first think of a small business to cooperate with him and start it bit by bit so that it would not easily attract the attention of others.
After all, their status is special. Even if they have reached the place of exile, there is no guarantee that no one in the court will pay attention to them.
Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about Meng Huaining. On the surface, it is said that he was entrusted by Fei Nanyu to come here to take care of their family.
She didn't believe that Meng Huaining would not inform Fei Nanyu of their situation.
At present, Fei Nanyu poses no threat to them, but who can completely guess the thoughts of the superior?
Therefore, He Zhiran planned to observe carefully before making any plans.
Of course, with such a big family, it's hard to do nothing right now. After everything is settled at home, she will come up with an idea that has both ends.
"Second sister-in-law, I know you are anxious to make money for your family, but before that, you have to take a look at the ingredients we used today."
He Zhiran knew that his second sister-in-law was straightforward, so there was no need to mince words when talking to her.
Mrs. Mo, who rarely expressed her opinions in front of her daughter-in-law, also spoke up.
"Ms. Xie, the ingredients your nine siblings prepared today, not to mention other ingredients, are just the spicy seasonings that we can't get. Without raw materials, how can we make money?"
After hearing what Mrs. Mo said, He Zhiran had to give the old man a thumbs up.
It can be said that among all the female relatives of the Mo family, Mrs. Mo is the one who has the most success in her heart.
She could see at a glance the key issues that made this business impossible.
"Mom is right. I bought this seasoning chili from a foreigner. Although it looks like a lot of quantity, it is only for our own family. If it is used for business, I am afraid it will be used up within a few days. "
The second sister-in-law was obviously very discouraged: "It's such a pity that we can't do such a good job of making money!"
"It's no pity. I bought a lot of seeds from foreigners, including peppers. After next spring, we will plant several acres of land. By then, we will have enough peppers to use."
When the second sister-in-law heard this, she instantly became beaming and smiling.
"Is it true? Sister Jiu, I will definitely not be lazy when the time comes and plant more peppers."
Speaking of planting, Mo Hanyue also became interested: "Sister-in-law Jiu, when I was reading the pharmacology book you gave me, I found that some medicinal materials are not only easy to grow, but also very valuable.
I thought that after a while I would go to the city to take a look, buy some medicinal seeds, and plant the medicinal materials in the spring of next year. This would definitely add some income to my family. "
The other sisters-in-law were obviously a little anxious when they saw that their sister-in-law had thought of ways to help the family make money.
But when they were in the capital, they were all pampered and raised, and they had no other skills except being able to be some female celebrities.
The eldest sister-in-law asked tentatively: "Ninth younger brother and sister-in-law, none of my sisters-in-law are as knowledgeable as you. If you want to make money in the future, all you have to do is say hello, and the eldest sister-in-law will definitely help."
Several other sisters-in-law also expressed their opinions after seeing this, and they had the same meaning as the elder sister-in-law.
To put it bluntly, from now on, they will all listen to the ninth younger brother and sister. If the ninth younger brother and sister point to the east, they will never go west.
He Zhiran liked this kind of atmosphere very much. The whole family could work together as a team no matter what.
"Okay, when I think of a good career, I will definitely let my sisters-in-law know in advance."
A group of women chatted without any intention of going behind anyone's back. Men could naturally hear what they were chatting about.
Although Fifth Brother has lost his memory, after these two days of contact, he has completely accepted this group of loving family members.
It is said that the female relatives have to earn money for the family, and as the man of the family, he has a duty to do so.
"We men are responsible for making money, you just have to do housework."
Myna also echoed: "Yes, we are a group of grown men. Even if we go into the mountains to hunt every day, we can still earn enough to feed and clothe the family. You just need to honor your mother at home."
Normally, both brothers have expressed their opinions, and Mo Jiuye should also express his opinions.
However, he did not do this.
He knows what his wife is capable of, and if she wants to make money slowly, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up even if they hunt all their lives.
Liang Hao even patted his chest and promised: "From now on, we brothers will take turns going to the mountains to hunt, ensuring that our family can eat rice and meat every day."
In the minds of these ancients, as long as ordinary people's families can have enough food and clothing, they can live a well-off life.
Especially Liang Hao and others, they have been homeless orphans since childhood and do not have many requirements for the quality of life.
I have to say that the words of these people made the two clan leaders Zhao and Zhou extremely envious.
Look at people, they are so confident in what they say when they have the ability. With so many prey they brought back from their trip to the mountains today, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say such things.
Chapter 207 Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
Especially Clan Chief Zhou, after seeing the prey, he had already roughly calculated the price.
Just talking about that wild goat, it would cost at least one tael of silver to send it to a restaurant in the city.
This much harvest in one day was enough for these people to eat and drink, and there was still some leftover.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou were equally envious.
Now that they have completely accepted the fact of becoming ordinary people, there are more and more men in the Mo family, and they are all highly capable.
It would be no problem to support the family by hunting in the future.
Thinking about my family's situation, they all came from a literary background. Even if there were many men, none of them could go hunting in the mountains.
It seems that after they return, they will get together as a family to discuss their future livelihood issues.
He Zhiran listened to the words of those grown men and did not refute. She would do whatever she should do in the future.
Seeing that everyone was done eating meat, she put the cut potato slices and sweet potato slices into the pot.
This is the first time for everyone here to see these two things.
They just wanted to ask what this was, but faced with so many delicacies, they couldn't bear to stop talking.
Now that he saw He Zhiran putting these two kinds of food into the copper basin, he once again became interested in asking.
Asking this kind of question, Sister-in-law Eight, a foodie, is the best at it.
"Brothers and sisters, we have been cutting in the kitchen for a long time just now, and we don't even know what this is."
He Zhiran explained with a smile: "I bought these from foreigners, one is called potatoes and the other is called sweet potatoes.
I also heard that this stuff not only tastes good, but also has a very high yield. I saved some seeds and we will try to plant some next year. "
Hearing He Zhiran say that these two ingredients have high yields, the two clan leaders were the first to sit still.
They spend their lives digging in the fields, and there is no news more exciting than the topic of high yields.
Patriarch Zhou smiled and asked: "Laojiu family, you said the output of this thing is high, how high can it be?"
He Zhiran thought about the sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes grown in her space. She wondered if it was a cheating problem. The yield per mu of sweet potatoes can reach about two thousand catties, and the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is even higher, almost five thousand catties.
To be conservative, she did not report that much production.
"Clan Chief Zhou, according to what the foreigner said, the yield of potatoes per mu can reach about one thousand catties. The yield of sweet potatoes is more, and the yield per mu is at least two thousand catties."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two clan leaders stood up uncomfortably.
"Lao Jiu's family, do you really mean what you said?"
Patriarch Zhao's face turned red with excitement. You know, he has been planting crops all his life, but he has never heard of any crop with such a high yield. Could it be that the Lao Jiu family was deceived by those foreigners?
He Zhiran shouldn't brag about this kind of thing too much.
"Haha... Patriarch Zhao, whether it can really achieve such a high yield can only be seen after planting it."
Patriarch Zhao nodded and sat back down.
Judging from the calm demeanor of the ninth daughter-in-law, it was obvious that she didn't care whether she was cheated or not. Why was he so anxious?
At the same time, the two clan leaders' original intention to ask for some seeds also died down.
They really didn't dare to try this unknown thing. If they didn't have such a high output, wouldn't they have lost a year in vain?
Their attitude did not affect He Zhiran at all.
When she saw that the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the copper basin had been cooked, she invited everyone to taste them.
This time, there was another exclamation of surprise.
"Sister-in-law Ninth, these sweet potato noodles are so sweet and delicious." Sister-in-law Eight praised with a smile while eating.
Even Sister-in-law Six, who has always been calm, couldn't help but praise: "Indeed, these two fresh foods seem to be very filling."
The same goes for the men's table, everyone praised the unique taste of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Everyone present devoured the delicious food. They felt that they had never eaten such delicious food in their lives.
When Mo Jiuye saw that everyone had almost eaten, he asked the two clan leaders, Zhao and Zhou.
"Two clan leaders, I wonder if you have any idle land for sale?"
Patriarch Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Lao Jiu, are you planning to buy land?"
Patriarch Zhao also echoed: "Indeed, as a countryman, farming is the foundation."
Mo Jiuye nodded: "If we want to live in the village in the future, growing crops is inevitable."
Patriarch Zhou thought for a moment.
"In our Xiling Village, if the agreed land is in the hands of the Cui family, fortunately, after these few years of care, although the family's land is not as fertile as the Cui family's, it is still in great condition. "
Mo Jiuye knew that the seeds produced in his wife's space did not care about the land or climate, so she didn't care at all whether the land was fertile or not.
"The condition of the land doesn't matter. Good land is cultivated. We can take our time."
At the same time, Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou also stared at the two clan leaders.
They also have the same idea as Mo Jiuye. When they live in the countryside, they have to do what country people should do.
After Patriarch Zhao and Patriarch Zhou looked at each other, Patriarch Zhao said:
"Our two families don't have a lot of farmland. Only the land near the foot of the mountain is idle. It has been abandoned for many years. It will take at least three to five years for you to fertilize such land."
With this kind of land, the native villagers of Xiling Village all know that even if they plant it, there will not be much harvest, and if it is not done well, the hard work will be in vain.
Patriarch Zhao suddenly thought of the Cui family.
"Lao Jiu, the Cui family has the most land, so much that their clansmen can't even farm it all.
In the past, they used Cui Wen's influence to force members of our family to work for them for free.
It's fine now. The new county magistrate is wise and punished the Cui family. I guess we won't have to go to them to work for free in the future. Their land will definitely be abandoned a lot.
At that time, the Cui family will definitely want to sell their farmland, and you can buy fertile land from the Cui family. "
This is indeed a good idea, but what Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran want to own is more land. No matter what kind of soil quality it is, it is best if it can be connected into a piece.
Whether they have good farmland or land that has been abandoned for many years, they want it all.
"Two clan leaders, no matter what kind of land, we want to buy it."
In fact, the two patriarchs had no selfish motives in persuading Mo Jiuye to buy the Cui family's farmland. They wanted to live in a village in the future and did not want to do something that would be criticized by others.
What the two of them didn't expect was that they had reached this point and their attitude was still so firm.
In this case, you can't blame us for not reminding you. No one can force the money out.
Patriarch Zhou said: "Our Zhou family has almost twenty acres of abandoned farmland at the foot of the mountain. Our family bought the wasteland and reclaimed it, and it has been registered with the government.
The land deeds are now in our hands. If you want to buy it, we will sell it for one tael per acre at the price we paid when we bought the wasteland. "
Chapter 208: Stupid people have too much money
Those lands are idle anyway, so they might as well sell them at a low price.
When the Zhao family saw this, he also said: "Our Zhao family also has twenty-six acres of abandoned land over there. Like the Zhou family, we sell it for one tael of silver per acre."
Mo Jiuye first looked at Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou.
After all, they all came to Xiling Village for their own families. If there is land for sale, naturally they cannot leave others behind.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou heard that the land had been abandoned for many years and had low yields, so neither of them had much interest.
Originally, they were not very good at farming. If they continued to plant such land, they would end up with no harvest.
Therefore, the two of them shook their heads at Mo Jiuye at the same time, saying that they did not want to buy such land.
If possible, they would like to buy some fertile land from the Cui family.
The two of them did not want to buy these lands that had been abandoned for many years, which suited Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's wishes.
They had planned to, if possible, buy the land at the foot of the mountain and build their future house there.
In this way, their family's industry can be managed centrally.
Mo Jiuye decided immediately.
"Two clan leaders, I have decided to buy all your lands."
As soon as she finished speaking, He Zhiran sent a large silver ingot, a total of ten taels.
"Two patriarchs, this is the deposit for the land. Once our family has settled down in the past few days, we will go to the Yamen to handle the land transfer procedures."
Such a large silver ingot is placed on the table, which immediately gives people a feeling of wealth.
Seeing this, Patriarch Zhou said with a smile on his face: "You are really polite, my ninth wife. I just need to give you a token deposit as a token of appreciation. We will be neighbors in the village in the future. How can I still not trust you?"
Now, the two patriarchs have decided that the Mo family is stupid and rich.
Not only do people want all the land like that, but they also have a lot of fun paying for it...
He Zhiran would not try to figure out their thoughts at this time, and replied with a smile: "The money will be paid sooner or later. These deposits also show our sincerity in buying the land."
"Okay, okay, in this case, we will accept it without mercy."
Patriarch Zhou was very humble and pushed the money to Patriarch Zhao.
"Clan Chief Zhao, please keep this money for now. We will divide it up after we go to the county office to complete the formalities."
Patriarch Zhao responded with a smile: "Okay, just follow Brother Zhou's arrangements."
It can be seen from this that the two patriarchs, Zhao and Zhou, are very good people. They are modest and give in and are not greedy for money.
After the matter of purchasing the land from them was settled, Mo Jiuye asked again: "Also, I heard that many of the houses we assigned here belong to your tribe?"
Patriarch Zhao explained the ownership of those houses.
Mo Jiuye asked again: "I wonder if those yards are for sale?"
Hearing what Mo Jiuye said, it seemed that he wanted to buy those yards that were in dilapidated condition. The two clan leaders were completely uneasy.
"Lao Jiu, do you want to buy those yards too?" Chief Zhou was a little surprised.
You know, those courtyards were an eyesore. They couldn't afford to repair them, and they were always used by the government to provide free living for the exiled people.
Although no one can stay here for long, things like this can be a bit frustrating.
Mo Jiuye said with a smile: "Our family likes to be quiet, so I think it is more suitable to build a house there.
Moreover, it is relatively close to the land we bought, so it is easy to take care of. "
Both clan leaders thought his words made sense.
"Well, this is a good idea, but there are so many yards at the foot of the mountain. Have you decided which one to buy?"
"If possible, I plan to buy them all." Mo Jiuye's words were not muddled at all.
"Buy them all?"
The two clan leaders were once again shocked by his words.
If it was a courtyard or two, he could just buy it. After all, the population of the Mo family didn't seem to be small.
But after buying them all, what do they want with such a big place?
"Old...Old Jiu, you have to know that although those yards are a little dilapidated, they are still much more expensive than buying land. Are you sure you want to buy them all?
Also, the reason why we moved there was because it was not easy to avoid harassment by the barbarians.
If you look at the houses in our village, no matter how dilapidated they are, the courtyard walls are all as high as one person.
Stay away from the foot of the mountain. If the barbarians come, they will have the opportunity to detect them in advance. We will also take precautions in time.
If you build your house at the foot of a mountain, no matter how high your courtyard wall is, once the barbarians come over, you won't even have time to prepare for defense. "
Although Patriarch Zhou was very eager to turn the family's dilapidated houses into money, he also felt that it was necessary to remind him.
The cashier is a small matter. If it is not safe for the Mo family to live there, they will feel uneasy even if they take the money.
Mo Jiuye knew that the two clan leaders were kind-hearted people, and was very grateful to them for their sincere reminder.
However, he completely ignored the harassment from a few barbarians.
As long as one of the men in the family is at home, the barbarians will return without success.
He smiled and said: "I have my own plans for these. If possible, I would like to buy all the yards at the foot of the mountain."
Now, not only were the two of them not calm, but even Mo Chuhan was a little anxious.
Before he went up the mountain today, he specifically checked at the foot of the mountain.
There are at least twenty abandoned yards of various sizes there.
Is Ninth Brother crazy? Do you plan to let everyone in the family live in a courtyard?
"Ninth brother?"
Mo Jiuye knew that Ba Ge had doubts, but at this moment, in front of so many outsiders, it was difficult to explain too much.
"Myna, I'll tell you later."
Seeing that his ninth brother had said this, Mo Chuhan could only suppress it no matter how many doubts he had in his heart.
Seeing that her eighth son had objections, Mrs. Mo quickly spoke up to help Mo Jiuye.
"Chu Han, you listen to your ninth brother, our Mo family is now headed by the He family."
Mo Chuhan knew that the ninth younger brother and sister were in charge of the family.
Ninth Brother also did this with the intention of his wife.
But he just couldn't figure it out. Counting Liang Hao and the others, there were less than twenty people in his family. Why would he buy so many yards?
Since the old mother is speaking for the ninth brother, it means that the mother also supports the ninth brother and his sister.
Therefore, Mo Chuhan decided to shut up and wait and see.
The fifth brother knew that he had lost his memory, and he decided not to participate in the decision-making issues at home until he remembered.
The two patriarchs have finally discovered that the only person in the Mo family who has the final say is the old lady, besides Mo Laojiu and his wife.
Since the three people in charge all have this idea, it would be hypocritical for them to try to persuade him.
"Lao Jiu, our Zhao family has seven courtyards at the foot of the mountain, varying in size. How about we check the price on site before deciding on it?"
Patriarch Zhou also continued: "Our Zhou family has nine courtyards, and the prices are the same. We can discuss them after seeing them.
As for the remaining five properties, they all belong to the Cui family. If you want to buy them, you have to discuss them with the Cui family. "
Chapter 209 A meal where guests and host enjoy themselves
Mo Jiuye nodded: "Okay, the matter in the courtyard is not urgent. We will discuss it in detail after the Cui family's case is settled."
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou became anxious when they saw that the Mo family had bought so much farmland and yards in just one meal.
But thinking about the dilapidated courtyards at the foot of the mountain, they really didn't dare to buy them and rebuild them like the Mo family did.
After all, the money in their hands is limited. If they buy a dilapidated yard and rebuild it, it will be equivalent to spending two cents.
Instead of doing this, it is better to ask if the yard they live in is for sale, so that at least some money can be saved to buy farmland.
Since Mo Jiuye mentioned buying a house, the two of them simply asked about it.
"Clan Leader Zhao, I wonder if the yard we are renting is for sale?"
Patriarch Zhao replied: "The yard that the Xie family rents belongs to our family, so I can make the decision. If the price is right, it can be sold. In addition, the yard where the Fang family lives belongs to the clan. I can't make the decision for others. You have to ask I can't give you an answer until later."
Xie Tianhai heard that the yard where he lived was for sale. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I wonder how much money the yard where we live in costs?"
Patriarch Zhao made some calculations in his mind and said: "My yard covers an area of more than an acre. It cost a total of twelve taels of silver to buy the land and build a house.
Now that the yard is old, I will sell it to you for twelve taels. "
Xie Tianhai thought for a moment, and found that the courtyard of Patriarch Zhao's house was enough for his family to live in. Although twelve taels was not a small amount for their family, it was cheaper than rebuilding it again.
Not only that, they can save themselves the trouble of building a house.
"In that case, my Xie family bought the yard."
After saying this, Xie Tianhai also took out two broken pieces of silver from his arms and handed them to Patriarch Zhao.
"This is the deposit, you keep it."
Although the second sister-in-law didn't know the specific reason behind Ninth Brother's decision to buy so many shabby yards at the foot of the mountain, she knew in her heart that every decision made by Ninth Brother and Ninth Brother and Sister was very correct.
She sincerely hopes that her parents' family will follow the example of the Mo family and buy a house at the foot of the mountain.
But seeing that my father couldn't wait to pay the deposit, even if the second sister-in-law was anxious, she couldn't remind him in front of so many people.
She could only keep winking at her father, but Xie Tianhai didn't look at the women's table at all.
The second sister-in-law squeezed her eyes for a long time, all she could do was feel lonely...
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were both happy to see the Fang family and Xie family plan to buy the house they were renting.
It's not that they are selfish, it's that they have already made preliminary plans to use the location at the foot of the mountain.
If the Xie family and the Fang family followed their lead in purchasing land and houses at the foot of the mountain, their plans would have to be readjusted.
This is great. By buying a house in the village, the two families not only save money, but also fulfill their plans.
The guests and hosts enjoyed a delicious meal, which not only settled the matter of purchasing a house base and farmland, but the Mo family's generous treat today also made the two patriarchs Zhao and Zhou aware of the Mo family's strength.
In the past, those exiles assigned to Xiling Village were deliberately arranged by Cui Wen to be humiliated by his tribe because they had no money to honor Cui Wen.
The Mo family is different. It's not that they don't have money to honor Cui Wen, but they disdain him.
The same goes for the Xie and Fang families. They follow the Mohist family. On the surface, they don't have as deep a foundation as the Mohist family. They may be able to buy a house and plan to purchase good land, so how can they lack the money to bribe Cui Wen?
Think about the Mo family again. They bought more than forty acres of land today, and judging from their appearance, they seem to have plans to continue buying fertile land.
It was obvious that they were planning to become wealthy locals in Xiling Village.
The Cui family used to be like rich men in Xiling Village. Not only did they have too much land to cultivate, they also had to find people from the two families to do unpaid work.
If it were another reasonable rich man who asked the villagers to help, he would be paid at least ten cents a day.
I hope that the Mo family can become a reasonable and wealthy man. When the time comes, people from the two families can help out and earn some money for the family.
After thinking about this, the two clan leaders felt that it was very necessary to have a good relationship with the Mo family in the future.
Today's meal is a good start.
With this thought in mind, the two patriarchs stood up in unison and spoke more politely than before.
"Lao Jiu, thank you for your hospitality today. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask. As long as we can do it, we will spare no effort.
It's getting late, you've been busy all day, so go to bed early. "
After Patriarch Zhao finished speaking, the two Patriarchs stood up and left.
Seeing this, Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai also stood up.
After expressing his gratitude to the Mo family for their hospitality, he left with the two clan leaders.
After seeing off the guests, the sisters-in-law cleared away the dishes together.
The foodie sister-in-law walked to the kitchen carrying two empty plates and kept commenting on today's dinner.
"Ninth brother and sister, I really don't know what's going on in your head, but you can actually come up with such a way to eat raw food directly on the table and eat it on the spot.
The beef and mutton were tender and delicious, and the smelly offal made me not sure how to swallow it at first. But after taking one bite, I couldn't bear to eat it.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes are also delicious, I like that texture best.
And sister-in-law Ninth, how can you make those hard-shelled things so delicious? You must teach me when you have some free time, so that I can show my skills to your starling..."
The eighth sister-in-law talked a lot, which almost touched the hearts of the sisters-in-law.
Although the other sisters-in-law didn't express it like the eighth brother and sister, they did think so in their hearts.
When the sisters-in-law were washing the dishes in the kitchen, they would pick up a few potatoes and sweet potatoes to observe, as if they had found some great treasure.
Seeing that the sisters-in-law were curious, He Zhiran asked jokingly: "Sister-in-law, do you still have room for food in your stomach?"
"Ninth sister-in-law, are you going to feed us something delicious again?" Second sister-in-law patted her bulging belly and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law can still decorate here, but only food."
The second sister-in-law's words made everyone present laugh.
Everyone said that if there was delicious food, they would be able to eat some.
Seeing this, He Zhiran took a few sweet potatoes and potatoes and threw them into the stove fire that was not extinguished.
This kind of stove fire is most suitable for roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes. The fire is not strong and cannot be extinguished for a while.
Seeing He Zhiran's behavior, the sisters-in-law suddenly became dumbfounded.
"Ninth sisters-in-law, wouldn't it be a pity to throw such good things into the stove fire and burn them?" The sister-in-law held an iron hook in her hand and was so distressed that she stepped forward to pull the sweet potatoes and potatoes out of the stove fire.
He Zhiran quickly stopped her: "Sister-in-law, I am also making delicious food, and I will not waste the food."
Chapter 210 Please don't sell them
The sister-in-law is still a little confused. In her understanding, anything thrown into the stove fire will eventually be burned to ashes.
The ninth sisters-in-law actually said they were making delicious food...
Sixth sister-in-law, who usually talks the least, stepped forward and pulled the confused sister-in-law aside.
"Sister-in-law, you have to trust the ninth younger sister. When has she ever done something that she was not sure about?"
"That's true. Ninth sisters-in-law have always done things safely. It's just me who worries too much." The sister-in-law threw the hook aside with some embarrassment and continued to wash the dishes.
Mo Jiuye was not idle either. He took Liang Hao and others to carry the borrowed tables and chairs to the village to return them.
Mo Chuhan went to the backyard to process the game he had hunted back.
He could finally see that it was true that the ninth younger brother and sister were in charge of the family, but the money spent was also contributed by the ninth younger brother and sister.
He hasn't gone to work in the Yamen yet, so he will take advantage of this moment to hunt a lot in exchange for money, and then leave it to his nine younger siblings to control.
A man who is an eldest brother and spends his siblings' money always feels uncomfortable. As long as he can contribute something, he doesn't want to be idle.
Mo Hanyue saw that Bago had taken care of the wild goats and pheasants in the backyard, and then strode towards the empty room. She suddenly became anxious.
"Myna, those little rabbits are very cute, please don't sell them."
Mo Chuhan went to the empty room for this purpose.
He planned to tie the hares with ropes and send them to the city together with other prey tomorrow morning in exchange for silver.
If in the past, there was only one sister in the family, all their brothers could do was pamper her.
But things are different now. They are no longer powerful people in the capital, and their sister is no longer a young lady from a wealthy family.
The future life needs everyone to work together to maintain it.
"Hanyue, you are already a girl, don't act nonsense."
Mo Hanyue pouted and stood in front of the door, not allowing Mo Chuhan to go in and touch those rabbits under any circumstances.
"Myna, even if I beg you this time, please don't sell these rabbits, okay?"
Seeing that his sister's willfulness had returned, Mo Chuhan had no choice but to be patient and reason with her.
"Hanyue, be obedient, we can't raise these rabbits at all."
Mo Hanyue was puzzled: "They are obviously alive and kicking, why can't they be raised?"
"Rabbits have very powerful teeth. Even if they are kept in a cage, they will bite through the cage and escape. Rather than letting these hares escape, it is better to exchange them for some money."
Mo Chuhan didn't just hear these words. When he was at the border, he hunted some hares and planned to keep them first and add them to vegetables when the soldiers returned in triumph.
Unexpectedly, in less than two days, all the rabbits escaped, and there were bite marks everywhere.
Mo Hanyue still wanted to refute, but she knew in her heart that what Ba Ge said should be true.
For a moment, she was speechless, and in desperation, she even started crying.
Hearing Mo Hanyue's cries, Mrs. Mo and her sisters-in-law who were busy in the kitchen ran out to check the situation.
What caught his eye was that Mo Chuhan was busy trying to comfort Mo Hanyue.
"Hanyue, don't cry. It's myna's fault. If you really like these rabbits, just keep one to keep."
Needless to say, in such a scene, everyone always thought that Mo Chuhan made Mo Hanyue cry.
"Husband, don't bully Hanyue." Sister-in-law Eight said, striding between the two of them.
She put her hands on her hips, as if she wanted to seek justice from Mo Chuhan.
Seeing someone supporting her, Mo Hanyue immediately stopped crying. She was just pretending anyway, so she stopped quickly.
"Sister-in-law Eight, look at Brother Eight, how cruel he is, he wants to sell such a cute little rabbit for money."
At this time, everyone present understood the reason for the conflict between the brother and sister.
Mrs. Mo and her sisters-in-law were once aristocratic ladies and did not know much about raising hares.
Therefore, everyone agreed that Mo Chuhan was at fault.
The third sister-in-law was even more exaggerated. She took out five taels of silver from her arms and gave it directly to Mo Chuhan.
"Buddy, I bought all these hares, please keep your money."
Really, how dare you bully their cutest sister-in-law, you must not do it.
Although the other sisters-in-law were not as radical as the third sister-in-law, they all showed their protection for Mo Hanyue.
Only He Zhiran didn't do what his sisters-in-law did.
She already had a plan in mind regarding those hares.
For this reason, when she saw Mo Hanyue holding a hare in his arms, she had already purchased a hundred baby rabbits and raised them in the space.
This is her first step towards making money.
No need to show up in public, just stay at home.
She once knew something about the habits of rabbits.
Rabbits are indeed wild and difficult to tame, and it is indeed not easy to raise them. Especially because of their ability to escape from prison, it can be said that they are impossible to guard against.
However, the rabbits born in space are different. Those rabbits have been raised in captivity since they were young and have become accustomed to this kind of life. It can be said that they will not even think about escaping.
Not only that, rabbits born in space are not easy to get sick and are easy to feed.
As long as she occasionally plants a batch of cabbage and carrots, she can also add some cornmeal after the autumn harvest. It is even more convenient in summer. She can guard the mountains and pull some grass to feed them.
Not only that, rabbits can reach adulthood in only six months, and they reproduce very quickly.
Especially now that it is the slack season for farming, it is a good idea to engage in breeding at home.
Most importantly, the value of the rabbit in her hands is absolutely beyond imagination.
Rabbit fur can be used to make dolls, something He Zhiran had planned on the road.
In Tang Mingrui's hands, the doll business was so prosperous. If she hadn't been out of stock, their cooperation would have made a lot of money.
And it has been well verified in previous lives that dolls made of rabbit skin are not only more expensive than dolls made of artificial plush fabric, but also look more attractive.
She can be sure that dolls made from rabbit fur will definitely make a profit without losing money, and there is no need to worry about the material being exposed to light.
Speaking of rabbit meat, the simplest way is to make it into cold rabbit and sell it, and the profit will be doubled several times.
No matter how bad it is, they can be lazy and sell the meat directly for the price, which is also a long-term income.
Therefore, He Zhiran's plan will definitely bring a lot of profits to the family.
Seeing that Brother Ba was overwhelmed by the words of his sisters-in-law and didn't know how to refute, He Zhiran finally spoke.
"Sisters-in-law, Hanyue, I also think there is no need to keep these hares."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on her.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, do you also agree with Bago selling those cute little rabbits?" Mo Hanyue asked with some choking.
He Zhiran stepped forward and patted Mo Hanyue's shoulder a few times, and said softly: "Hanyue, Sister-in-law Jiu once read in a book that it is difficult to feed hares in our hands. Instead of doing this, it is better to exchange them for money. "
