MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 14 It turned out to be him

  Chapter 14 So it was him

  Feng Yong naturally didn't know that he had been evaluated as a womanizer, and now he was immersed in the joy of success.

  This year's summer plowing went smoothly, much faster than previous years. Qu Yuanli's success greatly enhanced Steward Zhao's confidence in the breeding business. As soon as he was busy with summer farming, he began to run around the surrounding villages and towns to buy chickens and ducks. That's right, before the Feng family's breeding business officially started, they had already expanded their business to ducks.

   Now Feng Yong finally understands why Steward Zhao was so horrified when he said he wanted to raise 300 chickens. In this chaotic world, even in the land of Shu, which has suffered the least amount of war, the people who have surplus food can raise four or five chickens at most, and it is simply impossible to want more.

   Steward Zhao traveled all over the surrounding villages and towns, and only received more than 40 to less than 50 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 cleaned up to raise chickens, and the chicken feathers flying all over the yard, Feng Yong sighed deeply. The goal of improving living conditions is a long way to go!

"Master, there are only so many chickens that can be harvested in these four weeks. The old servant will go to the city the next day to see if he can collect more." Try to make amends again.

"No need, Uncle Zhao, let's see which houses still have ducks. If there are not enough chickens, then we will raise ducks as well." Feng Yong is not the kind of unreasonable person. No matter how you look at it, there can't be many.

  However, it seems that duck feathers can be made into down jackets!

   These days, there is no heating, and the rich and noble families only have fur coats to keep them warm in winter. It seems that they don’t have very good clothes to avoid the cold. As for the common people, hehe, it would be nice to have a straw cover. I remember that when I was a child, the chickens and ducks were slaughtered and the hairs that fell off were kept in the sun and dried, waiting for the tattered ones to be collected. The money sold was not small for the peasants at that time, at least the money for buying candies and fruits during the Chinese New Year. Yes.

   I don’t know if this down jacket can be made with the current technology?

  No matter what, it is always right to try.

Thinking of this, Feng Yong became more and more sure of the importance of raising ducks. At this time, he didn't know if cotton had been introduced into China. In front of Feng Yong, he had no time to grow cotton to make quilts.

Feng Yong is afraid of the cold. He was originally a southerner in his previous life, but due to various reasons, he went to the north when he grew up. He even spent a long time in northern Xinjiang, which is covered with ice and snow for half a year. He was afraid of being cold, even though he got used to it 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 the winter without heating, and suddenly shivered, turned his head and said to the housekeeper seriously: "Uncle Zhao, you still have to work **** this matter, and then collect ducks, the more the better. "

   Steward Zhao nodded in response, and looked at Yaomei, who was busy in the yard, with a little awe in her eyes.

  In his opinion, the master’s method is simply to use some unknown method to conjure chicken food out of nothing, which is not much different from the legendary fairy method of turning stones into gold. And Yaomei was able to learn such fairy tricks, and she is different from ordinary people, no wonder the master wants to teach her to read and write!

  Although the business of raising chickens encountered unexpected difficulties at the very beginning, Feng Yong still made a timely remedy. Not getting enough chickens and ducks is not a problem for Feng Yong at all.

  Children from the countryside don’t know anything else, don’t they even know this?

  When I was young, most of the chickens and ducks that were killed at home during the Chinese New Year were actually raised by myself. As for the source of chicklings and ducklings, they were not bought from the market at first, but which neighbor’s house had an old hen nestling ready to hatch chicks, so I would say hello to that house, or I would call someone else’s house to breed eggs The old hen helps to hatch more, or directly asks others to hatch more in advance, and then comes to the door to exchange things for the chicks after the chicks come out.

  It wasn't until later in life that there was the concept of meat and egg chickens, and different chicks came out on the market. At that time, everyone was not short of that little money, and the things that asked the old hen to help gradually decreased.

  Feng Yong asked Yaomei to pay attention to the condition of the flock. If old hens with brooding behavior were found, they would be picked out immediately, and then a dozen or so eggs would be picked out for them to hatch. Farmers generally raise hens for laying eggs, and when they encounter brooding hens, they immediately try to make them wake up, but Feng Yong said that brooding hens can have more hens.

Today's chickens are not those layer hens and broiler chickens that have been purposefully cultivated after countless generations of improvement. Basically, after laying a certain number of eggs, they will have brooding behavior. The older the chicken, the more frequent the nesting behavior. And the hatched chicks can also be brought by the old hen, so there is no need to worry about it manually.

   Of course, the disadvantage is that the egg production efficiency is lower than that of later generations. Feng Yong raises chickens to improve his life, not to sell eggs, so he can bear this shortcoming.

In ancient times, as long as people with status or status paid attention to status, as long as they did not have an intimate relationship, they had to send greeting cards a few days in advance when visiting other people's homes, so as to allow the host family to spare time, otherwise it would be uneducated and impolite to come to the door without saying hello in advance Performance.

   Ordinarily, a small family like Feng Yong should not be exposed to this level for the time being, and he never thought that there would be a day when someone in his own family would send a greeting card. During the few days when he was busy picking eggs, the butler came in with a strange expression, saying 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, that is, the invitation card, frowned and thought for a while, "Who is this? Did I know him before?"

  Of course we know each other. Isn’t Zhao Guang the driver who struck up a conversation with him that day? But Feng Yong can be sure that it was the first time he met Zhao Guang, but why did his name give him a familiar feeling?

   Surname Zhao?

  Feng Yong, a famous person surnamed Zhao in the Shu Kingdom, only knows one, and that is Zhao Yun, who is now the only one of the Five Tiger Generals, and is known by later generations as a heartthrob.

   "I'm ****!" Feng Yong slapped his thigh and swears, "I finally remembered, it turned out to be him!"

As a pseudonym who has played series of games such as "Three Kingdoms Heroes I" to "Three Kingdoms Heroes VII", "Three Kingdoms IX" to "Three Kingdoms Twelve", and some other games such as "Cao Cao Biography" and "Zhao Yun Biography" Fan of the Three Kingdoms, Feng Yong said that the name Zhao Guang did not have too many impressions in his memory.

No way, for example, people who have read Romance of the Three Kingdoms know who the Five Tiger Generals are, even those who haven’t read it have probably heard of it, but who are the descendants of the Five Tiger Generals, not so many people know .

  Although it is said that Feng Yong was also infatuated with the Three Kingdoms, he can only be regarded as a fake Three Kingdoms fan. Take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example, he would read it carefully before, after the Battle of Yiling, he would read it roughly, after Zhuge Liang died, he would read it briefly, and after the Shu Han was destroyed, he would stop reading it immediately.

  That's right, he is a Liu fan, and most of the Three Kingdoms games are Liu Beifang's Liu fans. As for the history books such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he picked interesting places to read only to understand the difference between romance and historical facts. Therefore, he could only roughly know the relatively large historical events and time for the environment he was in now.

   Zhao Guang, a character who has not been written much in history and has not had many outstanding figures, generally does not have much impression on him. The reason why he can remember that he is a descendant of Zhao Yun is entirely because of a game company of the later generation. This company treats games as movies, and often skips tickets. "Blizzard's production must be a boutique" is its slogan. One of the games is called "The Frozen Throne".

   Well, of course, that game is indeed a high-quality product. Feng Yong also had a black civil war with his classmates back then. In this game, there is a map called "Guardian Jiange", which has survived for ten years. Feng Yong played this map ten years ago. Ten years later, Feng Yong crossed over. There are still a large number of people playing this map on the Internet. You can imagine its charm, um, far away. In the picture "Guarding the Jiange", there is a character named Zhao Guang, and his introduction is the son of Zhao Yun.
