Pig Killer

Chapter 145

"Of course, without comparison, how can we tell that ours is better!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with a smile and said, "This is more intuitive, why don't you try it."

"Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright dark eyes and said.

Shen Changsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Yes! That's it."

"Can it be promoted?" Shen Hui'e looked at him hopefully with her crystal clear eyes.

"Uh..." Shen Changsheng's smile froze when he heard that. He grunted for a long time and said, "I didn't ask." He pursed his lips and said, "This is not something that needs to be kept secret. It is beneficial to the common people, so it should be promoted!" Then he said, "The plow has been donated. It will take time to promote it. We can just use it."

Shen Hui'e opened her mouth, what else could she say?

"The county governor has rewarded us with some furs again." Shen Changsheng said with a grin, "It's just in time for winter."

"Fur? Fox fur or..." Shen Hui'e looked at him with shining eyes and said.

Shen Changsheng interrupted her and said, "It's not fox skin, it's dog skin, and sheep skin." He looked at her calmly and said, "Fox skin is only used by the nobles. I've seen sheep skin, the fleece is very thick and warm."

Shen Hui'e responded, "Oh!"

Shen Changsheng looked at her disappointed eyes with his dark eyes and said, "They rewarded us with a car, which is very affordable. What we want is to keep warm." He deliberately added, "Why do you think dog skin and sheepskin are ugly?"

"No, no, it's just to keep warm. It looks beautiful when you wear it. I feel bad that it got dirty while working!" Shen Hui'e said to him with her jade-like eyes.

"Mother, now you don't have to catch rabbits anymore." The big insect looked at her with joy on his face and said.

"Catch rabbits? Catch what rabbits?" Shen Changsheng looked at her without quite understanding and asked.

"It's getting colder, and we don't have enough winter clothes, so we catch rabbits." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright dark eyes and said, "Now we have dog and rabbit skins, so we can spend the winter safely."

"Don't catch rabbits. The fur is definitely enough." Shen Changsheng looked at her and said with a smile.

"Did you get my plow back?" Shen Hui'e asked casually.

Shen Changsheng slapped his forehead, looked at her apologetically and said, "Oh! I forgot." He quickly said, "It's okay, let your brother-in-law make it for you." Then he explained, "This family needs a look!"

"So I put the plow in without waiting for any good news." Shen Hui'e shrugged her shoulders when she heard it. What else could she do?

"Come on! Follow me to move it out of the car." Shen Changsheng stood up, supporting himself on the wooden table with his hands.

Shen Hui'e looked at the carriage with the curtains drawn, "So many." Then she asked, "Didn't you leave any behind?"

"Keep them. You can divide them among the Huang family. It's hard to find so many at once!" Shen Changsheng looked at her tenderly and said, "They are all nitrated leather, pressed very firmly! They are tied very tightly."

"I feel it, it's very heavy." Shen Hui'e said while holding it in her hand.

After half of the carloads of leather had been moved into the house, they were placed on the kang.

"You have built the fire bed." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "Ah! It is connected to the stove, so you can cook and keep warm at once."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "Sit down! Have you done it at home too?"

"I did it. I saw it when I got home." Shen Changsheng said with a smile, "I also built one for the girls and one for the boys. It will be warmer if we huddle together in the winter."

"This leather..." Shen Hui'e looked at him in embarrassment and said, "I can't sew it. I don't have a special needle!"

"There is a fur shop in the city, and they have special tools." Shen Changsheng said with a smile when he heard this.

"Okay, let's find someone with good skills to do it, so I don't have to do it myself." Shen Hui'e let out a long sigh.

"I'm back." Shen Changsheng looked up at the sky outside the door and said.

"I'll take you there." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with gentle eyes, and then she sent the father and son out of the house and watched the carriage leave.

"Go home and have a good rest. We will start harvesting corn tomorrow." Shen Hui'e said as they walked.

"Now the big knife can be used." Da Chong said with a smile.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e said with a smile, "This will be much faster."

Autumn harvest is more complicated and slower than summer harvest.

The summer harvest mainly harvests wheat, and the word "grab" is the most important.

There are many kinds of crops to harvest in autumn, including corn, soybeans, mung beans, hemp, sesame...all kinds of things.

Just like the summer harvest, almost the entire county is mobilized for the autumn harvest, and the fields are filled with men, women, and children.

Most of the stores in the city are closed.

The autumn harvest crops have been brought home one after another. The porridge made from the newly harvested millet is soft and smooth, with a strong rice aroma, and can be eaten with any vegetable.

Just drink the rice porridge dry, it tastes so good that one person can have two big bowls.

The per-acre yield of corn has also been weighed, and it is about 200 kilograms per acre.

"So little?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at the number with a frown.

"It has always been like this!" The big insect blinked his black eyes and looked at her.

"The weather is good this year, and we weeded on time. I think we can get more." Shen Hui'e looked at them without blushing or getting angry.

"Mother, I didn't keep up with the fertilization." The big insect looked at her regretfully and said, "This land is so greedy! The effect is immediate after fertilization. Without fertilization, this will be the same."

"There is still not enough fertilizer." Shen Hui'e said helplessly with a pout.

"Mother, the yield is the same as before, enough for us to eat. Don't forget that we have flour this year!" Li Nu pulled her hand and shook it gently.

"I know!" Shen Hui'e smiled and said, "Soybeans, mung beans, sesame seeds, and hemp are all the same as last year."

"Okay! No reduction in production is a victory, we should be content." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile on her face.

Shen Hui'e and the others put the grains and cereals from the autumn harvest, shelled those that needed to be shelled, and those that needed to be dried in the sun, into the wing room, piling them up full.

"Mother, mother, it's time to plow the land and plant wheat." said the cat slave, grabbing her arm.

"Don't panic, put our chickens in the field for two days." Shen Hui'e looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"Why release the chickens?" Da Chong asked her with his eyes wide open.

"Eat insects!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "Now there are no crops in the fields, the chickens can roam freely." She said with some regret, "It's just that there are too few chickens."

"Mother, aren't you afraid that the chicken will run away and you won't be able to catch it?" The big tiger said to her with a frown.

"So, you have to watch it in the field. Don't lose it." Shen Hui'e looked at them seriously and said jokingly, "You have to keep a close eye on it."

"Is this okay?" Li Nu looked at her worriedly with his round eyes.

"Why not? Chickens should be free-range, they eat insects!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"It's no problem to watch them." The big insect responded readily, and then hesitated for a moment and said, "But are there so many insects in this land?"

"That's their job. They are experts at catching insects." Shen Hui'e said with a smile, "I'm worried that we have too few chickens and they are overfed."

"How much do you think is appropriate?" asked the raccoon slave, looking at her with innocent eyes.

"Of course the more the better, thousands and tens of thousands." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her bright eyes.

"We only have six chickens, and you want tens of thousands now. That's a huge difference!" Da Chong looked at her in amazement.

"So I'm afraid they will be overwhelmed." Shen Hui'e said worriedly.

"They know that if they can't eat it, they will definitely not eat it." The big insect looked at her with its black eyes and said.

"Don't ask me about this. It's hard to say." Shen Hui'e stroked the hair beside her ears and said, "Have our chickens ever been fed?"

"It must be well fed, otherwise it wouldn't lay so many eggs. We can have a harvest every day." The raccoon slave said immediately after hearing this, staring at her with innocent eyes.

She has the final say on this matter. It is she who touches the eggs in the chicken coop every morning.

"Let the chickens go into the fields first to eat the insects." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep, clear eyes.

"Okay!" The tiger responded readily, "This is the first time I've let chickens go to the fields since I was born." He smiled and said, "People are afraid of chickens in the fields! They're afraid that the chickens will destroy the crops."

"There are no crops in the fields now." Shen Hui'e pointed her finger at his forehead and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

The next day, after selling the pork, Shen Hui'e carried the chicken coop and released the chickens into her own fields.

"Wow..." The big insect stared at the chickens running all over the field in amazement, "They are so excited!"

"You've been locked up for ten days or half a month, you're even crazier than them!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with amusement and said, "Okay, you guys watch them, I'm going back to cook."

"Okay!" the big tiger replied with a smile.

"I'm leaving." Shen Hui'e walked towards home.

By the time Shen Hui'e had finished cooking and called the children home to eat, the ridge of her field was already full of people.

"What are you doing?" Shen Hui'e walked up to the children and asked.

"Mrs. Pig Killer, can this chicken really eat the pests?"

"Of course, don't your chickens eat bugs? Haven't you ever caught crickets to feed the chickens?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep, bright black eyes and said, "Let the chickens eat the bugs in the field now. The chickens will get fatter and lay eggs more frequently, and the pests will be eliminated. This will reduce the possibility of pests and diseases next year."

"Can it be done?"

"We'll see whether it works or not next year. Anyway, this year, the chickens are full, so they can lay more eggs in the winter." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile.

"Can we also keep chickens in the fields?"

"Of course you can, but someone has to watch it, be careful not to lose the chicken." Shen Hui'e reminded them.

"I'm going home now and let my chickens out."

All of a sudden, all the children gathered on the edge of the field ran home.

"Second sister, second sister." Shen Penglai walked hurriedly over along the ridge of the field.
