Xu Maangqun curled his lips disdainfully, "Tsk, because of her appearance, I have already said that I despise her, and you insist on me getting engaged to her, but she is still wise, knowing that something happened to the Su family,
I lost my confidence and took the initiative to cancel the engagement."
**Tang took a sip of tea, put the tea cup on the table, and looked at the door, "There have long been rumors about Su Sanya's character, but I am really surprised that she can be so proactive this time."
He had already planned to go to the Su family to send a sum of money, and then discuss with Mrs. Su about breaking off the engagement. After all, Mrs. Su was quite sensible.
But before he could go, Su Sanya took the initiative to come to the door, which was really a bit confusing for him.
After coming out of Xu's house, she took Ah Zi and Xiao Wu to the blacksmith shop.
When the blacksmith boss saw her coming in, he greeted her enthusiastically, "Miss Third, are you here?"
She nodded, went into the house and looked at the chicken coops. She reached out and touched them. She was quite satisfied. These chicken coops were made by the blacksmith according to the drawings she had drawn in advance.
“How much is left to finish?”
The blacksmith hurriedly began to introduce, "This ordinary chicken coop has been completed. We are currently working on a breeding chicken coop. The final small number of breeder chicken coops will probably be completed soon."
“How long will it take for my order to be fulfilled?”
The blacksmith thought for a while and said, "Miss, this drawing is a bit complicated, and it's a delicate job. It will probably take another three months. It should be fine according to the predetermined date."
Su Mu'er nodded, told the blacksmith a few things to pay attention to, and then went to the lacquerware shop not far away.
The troughs and barrels required for raising chickens, as well as the feeders and storage towers all need to be made of lacquer products. In ancient times, there was no plastic, so these lacquer products are relatively practical and have the effect of resisting falling and wear, although they are more expensive.
But it also has a once-and-for-all effect.
After walking around these scattered shops, she estimated that the necessary items could be completed within three months, and she felt confident.
When she returned to Sujiazhuang, it was too late to enter the hospital, so she went to check the chicken coop in the backyard.
After this month of hard work, the chicken coop has begun to take shape.
When Liangzi saw her coming, he quickly wiped the sweat with the handkerchief around his neck and came over, "Miss Third, you are here."
She nodded, "According to my drawings, how long will it take to complete?"
Liangzi looked back, pointed at the chicken coop and replied: "These two are almost ready. The other two will probably be finished by the end of the month, and then they will be tidied up again. The inside will be finished, which will take two and a half months."
She nodded, raised her feet and bent down to get into the chicken coop. These chicken coops were all built with her hand-drawn drawings. They had to take into account good lighting and ventilation. Fortunately, the temperature in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was quite suitable, although it was hot in summer.
, but it is not too cold in winter, so the position, size and height of the windows were all drawn by her after careful consideration based on the weather here.
All of this must be in line with what she learned in her previous life. It seems that she, a master of animal husbandry, had no chance to contribute to mankind in her previous life, but she came to this other world to develop her talents.
After telling Ah Liang some things to pay attention to, she felt her stomach growling a little, so she walked towards the front yard.
She asked people to build a house in the backyard in advance to provide food for these craftsmen and the servants. After the chicken farm opened in the future, it would be reserved for the servants to stay, so Azi also stayed to help.
Ah Qiu and the others were cooking, and she returned to the front yard alone.
This chicken coop is not too far from the main house in front. You can enter through the back door and walk through the verandah to the front yard. Fortunately, the Su family's ancestral house is far away from the villagers' houses. Otherwise, there would be sewage issues and odors to consider.
question.
When Su Mu returned home, Mrs. Liu just came out with the food, "Sanya, just now your grandmother was thinking about you, why haven't you come back yet."
After moving here, Mrs. Liu had nothing to do, so she took over the cooking job. Anyway, the servants didn't need to take care of her. She only took care of the meals for these few people in the family, and she was pretty good at cooking.
Su Mu came to sit in front of her grandmother and said, "Grandma is worried about it. I just went to the backyard to take a look."
Madam Su patted her hand, "What do the Xu family say?"
"Don't worry, grandma, everything has been taken care of."
After Mrs. Su heard what she said, she nodded with peace of mind, "Let's eat. Your mother was afraid that you would be hungry, so she prepared the meal a long time ago."
Su Mu looked at the light side dishes made by her mother and couldn't help but smile, "Mom, I want to eat meat."
Mrs. Liu glared at her, "How fat have you become, and you still eat meat?"
Mrs. Su couldn't help but blame her: "Sanya's body is not as good as before, but she is not eating alone. You can get some meat to eat tonight. Qing'er and Min'er will be back tonight."
These two children were sent to the capital school to learn literacy. They came back once a month. Before the Su family declined, the family hired a special teacher to teach them. Now the conditions do not allow it, so they can only be sent to the school.
I went to school and studied with many children.
Seeing this, Ms. Liu could only twitch her nose and say, "Okay, let's just kill the chicken that Xiao Wu brought over and eat it tonight."
Hearing what her mother said, Su Mu stuck out her tongue towards her grandmother, picked up the chopsticks and started eating the green vegetables in front of her.
Three months later,
Su Mu's belly was obviously bulging, but she was fat, and no one would have noticed that she was pregnant unless they looked carefully.
Several girls in the house already know, and the old lady has also put down her words. No one is allowed to talk about the third lady behind her back, otherwise she will be kicked out of the house directly. Therefore, even if these little girls are a little curious about the child she is carrying,
, but no one dared to ask, but they all waited carefully.
Su Muer felt a little happy when she looked at the big characters hanging on the door of the backyard, "Su Family Chicken Farm".
Now that the construction here has been completed, we are just waiting for the chickens to be brought in in three days. Now Xiao Wu and A Liang are already on their way to catch chickens.
The advantage of this ancient breeding is that there is no need to apply for various licenses, which actually allows Su Mu to reduce a lot of expenses.
In the past, farmers here used to raise free-range chickens. People in Sujiazhuang had never seen all the chickens raised together like this.
Therefore, people here often come to visit in company.
Su Mu sat in the yard and looked at the drawing in her hand. This was a drawing of the entire chicken coop, including the walls and the gate, which she drew by herself.
"Is Su Sanya at home?"
There was a soft call from outside, and Azi glanced at her, "Miss, who is here?"
Su Mu'er was leaning over the table looking at the drawings spread out on the table, and without raising her head, she ordered: "Go and take a look."
AhZi opened the door and went out. The person she saw was Su Hongshan, the patriarch of the village. Standing next to him was his eldest son, Su Dazhou.
