Chapter 14 It turns out to be him
Feng Yong naturally didn’t know that he had been judged as a womanizer. Now he is immersed in the joy of success.
This year's summer plowing went very smoothly, much faster than in previous years. The success of Quyuli has greatly enhanced Butler Zhao's confidence in the breeding business. As soon as he finished his summer plowing, he began to travel to surrounding villages and towns to buy chickens and ducks. That's right, the Feng family's breeding business has already expanded to ducks before it officially started.
Now Feng Yong finally understood why Butler Zhao was so horrified when he said he wanted to raise 300 chickens. In these troubled times, even in Shu, which has suffered the least war, people with surplus food can only raise four or five chickens at most. If they want more, it is simply impossible.
Butler Zhao traveled all over the surrounding villages and towns, and received more than forty to fifty chickens, and there were chickens of all ages, from chicks to old hens. Looking at the roosters and hens of different sizes clucking and clucking in the yard specially set up to raise chickens, and chicken feathers flying all over the yard, Feng Yong sighed deeply. There is still a long way to go to improve living conditions!
"Master, there are only so many chickens that can be collected in these four weeks. The old servant will go to the city the next day to see if he can collect more." The housekeeper seemed to feel guilty for not completing the task ordered by the master, thinking Try to make amends again.
"No need, Uncle Zhao, let's see which ones still have ducks. If there are not enough chickens, then we will raise ducks together." Feng Yong is not the kind of person who is ignorant. He can only receive so much in the countryside, but in the city No matter how much you look at it, there can't be many.
However, it seems that duck feathers can be used to make down jackets!
These days, there is no heating. In the winter, rich people only have fur clothes to keep warm. Even worse, they don't seem to have good clothes to protect themselves from the cold. As for the common people, hehe, it would be good to have a straw cover. I remember when I was a kid, the feathers from chickens and ducks would be kept and dried in the house, waiting for the rags to be collected. The money from the sales was not small for the farmers at that time, at least it was enough to buy candies and fruits during the New Year and holidays. Yes.
I don’t know if this down jacket can be made with the current technology?
No matter what, it’s never wrong to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong became more and more sure of the importance of raising ducks. At this time, he didn't know whether cotton had been introduced to China. Even if it had been introduced, it is estimated that only a very small number of people knew about it, and even if cotton is now put in In front of Feng Yong, he had no time to grow cotton and make quilts.
Feng Yong was afraid of the cold. In his previous life, he was originally from the south, but due to various reasons, he went to the north when he grew up. He even spent a long time in Northern Xinjiang, which was covered with ice and snow for half the year, so at first he He was afraid of being cold. Even though he adapted later, the cold winter still left a shadow in his heart.
So he suddenly felt that it was imperative to raise ducks, and the sooner the better!
Feng Yong imagined a winter without heating, suddenly shuddered, turned his head and said seriously to the housekeeper: "Uncle Zhao, I still need to let you work on this matter, and then collect the ducks. The more ducks the better. "
Butler Zhao nodded in agreement and looked at Yaomei who was busy in the yard with a little awe in his eyes.
From his point of view, the master's method is simply to use some unknown method to conjure chicken food out of thin air, which is not much different from the legendary magical method of turning stone into gold. And Yaomei can actually learn such magical methods. She must be different from ordinary people. No wonder the master wants to teach her how to read and write!
Although the chicken raising industry encountered unexpected difficulties from the beginning, Feng Yong still made timely remedies. Not being able to collect enough chickens and ducks is not a problem at all for Feng Yong.
When I was a child, most of the chickens and ducks my family killed during Chinese New Year and festivals were actually raised by me. As for the source of chickens and ducks, they were not bought from the market at first, but from a neighbor who had an old hen nesting in a nest ready to hatch chicks. Just say hello to that house, or you could produce your own eggs and call them from others. The old hens help to hatch more, or they directly ask others to hatch more in advance, and then come to the door to exchange for the chicks after the chicks come out.
It wasn’t until later in life that the concept of broiler and laying hens came into being, and different chicks appeared on the market. At that time, no one was short of money, and the number of people asking the old hen to help gradually became less common.
Feng Yong told Yaomei to pay attention to the situation of the chickens. If he found any old hens with nesting behavior, he would immediately single them out, and then pick out a dozen hatching eggs for them to hatch. Farmers generally raise hens for laying eggs. When they encounter a hen in a nest, they immediately find a way to wake it up. However, Feng Yong said that there can be more hens in the nest.
Today's chickens are not the laying hens and broilers that were purposefully bred after countless generations of improvements. Basically, after laying a certain number of eggs, they will have nesting behavior. The older the chickens are, the more frequent they will be. Moreover, the hatched chicks can also be taken care of by the old hen, so there is no need for manual care.
Of course the disadvantage is that the egg production efficiency is lower than that of later generations. Feng Yong raises chickens to improve his own life, not to sell eggs, so he can tolerate this shortcoming.
In ancient times, people with status or who valued status, as long as they did not have a close relationship, would send greetings to other people's homes a few days in advance to allow the host to free up time. Otherwise, it would be rude and impolite to come to the door without saying hello in advance. Performance.
Normally, a small family like Feng Yong should not be exposed to this level for the time being, and he never thought that someone in his own family would send a greeting card one day. Just when he was busy picking eggs for the past few days, the housekeeper came in with a strange expression and said that someone had sent a greeting card.
"Zhao Guang? Zhao Yiwen? This name is really familiar." Feng Yong looked at the name badge in his hand, which was the greeting card, and frowned and thought, "Who is this? Do I know him before?"
Of course they knew each other. Wasn't Zhao Guang the coachman who chatted with him that day? But Feng Yong was certain that it was his first meeting with Zhao Guang, but why did his name give him a familiar feeling?
Feng Yong, a famous figure named Zhao in the Shu Kingdom, only knew one person, and that was Zhao Yun, the only remaining among the Five Tiger Generals, who was known as the heartthrob of later generations.
“I ****!” Feng Yong slapped his thigh and cursed directly, “I finally remembered, it turned out to be him!”
As a pseudo-person who has played series of games such as "Three Kingdoms Heroes I" to "Three Kingdoms Heroes VII", "Three Kingdoms IX" to "Three Kingdoms Twelve", as well as some Three Kingdoms games such as "The Legend of Cao Cao" and "The Legend of Zhao Yun". A fan of the Three Kingdoms, Feng Yong said that the name Zhao Guang did not have much impression in his memory.
There is no way. For example, everyone who has read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows who the Five Tiger Generals are, and most people who have not read it have heard of them. But not so many people know who the descendants of the Five Tiger Generals are. .
Although Feng Yong was once obsessed with the Three Kingdoms, he could only be regarded as a pseudo-Three Kingdoms fan until his death. Take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example. He would read it carefully in the first part, read it roughly after the Battle of Yiling, skim it after the death of Zhuge Liang, and stopped reading it immediately after the Shu Han was destroyed.
That’s right, he is a Liu fan. When playing the Three Kingdoms game, most people only play Liu Beifang’s Liu fans. As for history books such as the Three Kingdoms, he only picked interesting places to read in order to understand the difference between romance and historical facts. Therefore, for the environment he is in now, he can only have a rough idea of the larger historical events and time.
Zhao Guang, a person like Zhao Guang who has not been written about much in history and does not have many outstanding figures, generally does not have much impression. The reason why he can remember that he is a descendant of Zhao Yun is entirely because of a game company in later generations. This company treats games like movies, and often delays production. "Blizzard products must be high-quality products" is its slogan. One of the games is called "The Frozen Throne."
Well, of course, that game is indeed a masterpiece. Back then, Feng Yong also played an underworld civil war with his classmates. In this game, there is a map called "Guarding the Sword Pavilion", which has remained popular for ten years. Feng Yong played this map ten years ago. Ten years later, Feng Yong traveled through time. There are still a large number of people on the Internet playing this map. You can imagine its charm. Well, that’s a tangent. In the picture "Guarding the Sword Pavilion", there is a character named Zhao Guang, and his introduction is - the son of Zhao Yun.
