Chapter 74 Autumn Festival
Cai An looked clear. As expected, the head of the family had a good intention again. What else could he say? Just do it. Although he had different opinions on those sufferings and would not treat it as "self" like a servant, as the head of the family said, only a few taels of silver per month is irrelevant to Nuo Dafang Mansion.
"Ahem, there is another thing. The sea fish collected every day are divided into parts and dried, chopped, mixed with old grains, and used for feeding." Fang Chen finally changed to the topic and went around for a long time. This was his main purpose.
The reason is that it is because many people in the town are not full. They just use old grain to feed pigs, but they even feed the fish to pigs. It’s simply...
"Feed the pig with fish!" Sure enough, Cai An almost started to scream. Although the fish in Wanghai Town are cheap, they are meaty at least, so they actually feed them to pigs?
Fang Chen met the old man's look at the prodigal son, and he couldn't help but blush and said with a dry smile: "Old butler, do you want to eat pork often, right?"
The old man ‘Gudu’ swallowed the braised pork that day. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded honestly.
Who doesn’t like pork? Unfortunately, there are too few pigs. Even though he is a housekeeper, he used to eat it several times a year.
"That's right!" Fang Chen laughed, "As the saying goes, if you want pigs to grow fast, just feed them with dried fish. Aren't we building a pig farm? As long as you feed them with dried fish, the sows can give birth to a few more babies, and the pigs will grow faster. It won't take long to get a fat pig in the yard, and then a few more yards will be expanded. At that time, I dare not say that I eat meat every day, but one meal a month is absolutely indispensable."
The old man was confused. Is there such a saying? However, what the head of the family seemed to make sense. If there were too many pigs, the meat would naturally be eaten frequently, but dried fish would be really useful?
The old man struggled for a long time, but in the end he could not resist the temptation of pork. He nodded fiercely and said, "Head of the family, then try it for a while. If it doesn't work, you have to stop immediately."
Cai An has been a housekeeper for decades, and he can see through the human relationship accidents. After a few days, he gradually figured out Fang Chen's temperament. He is indeed a kind master. As long as he does not violate the bottom line, he will not lose his temper. Therefore, he dares to refute some trivial matters.
Fang Chen really didn't care. This way of speaking had been used to it in his previous life, but he was respectful and made him feel a little uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "Okay, the old housekeeper will watch."
He is still somewhat confident when raising pigs with dried fish. There are exactly eight piglets. These piglets are the fastest growing time. With dried fish nutrition, I believe they will grow more obvious.
……………………
After Bajie moved into the "luxury mansion", the chicken farm was unable to be built, so the Fang Mansion stopped working. It was not that he did not want to build it, but that he collected food!
It is a huge matter no matter which dynasty or dynasty. Even in the prosperous era of previous lives, it can occupy a place in the news broadcast for several days.
The feudal era was closely linked to the country and the country, and even the emperor should pay attention to it.
For the people, it is the harvest of hard work and the expectation of life in the coming year.
At this important time, we often pray to heaven and thank God.
Wanghai Town is no exception. Although the process has been simplified due to the special situation in the town, it was also personally hosted by the head of the three elders, Mr. Li Zheng.
Mr. Li and Mr. Wang both came out, so Fang Chen naturally could not hide, so he could only come out with the help of his teeth. But he did not have the identity of the three elders and was not qualified to stand on the altar he had built, so he could only stand below the people, and behind him were a group of people from the Fang Mansion.
After setting up the incense table, after a brief ceremony, Mr. Li took out the sacrificial text and recited it loudly:
"In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, we will celebrate the harvest, have a peaceful and peaceful family and live a prosperous life! Kneel!"
After saying that, he knelt down first and bowed down to worship. Master Wang and all the people beside him knelt down to the ground and worshiped devoutly.
Then he straightened his upper body but did not stand up. Mr. Li knelt on the ground, holding up the sacrifice with both hands, as if he was telling the heavens, and his head suddenly became louder.
"The first sacrifice to heaven and earth, the prehistoric world is opened up, all things grow, the four seasons are in order, the crops are growing for a long time, the weather is good, the people are healthy, only virtue is respected, and the country's fortune is long..."
The tribute was very long and I kept reciting it for nearly two quarters of an hour before it ended.
Finally, the sacrifice was lit, and the blue smoke went straight to the nine heavens, and then there were three bows and nine bows.
"The sacrifice ceremony is completed!"
Everything was completely over. Fang Chen stood up and rubbed his knees. It was the first time he had been kneeling for so long in his past and present life. As a modern person, he was very repulsive of kneeling and worshiping, but such fantasy things happened in time, and he still had a system. The world is of very high level, and maybe there is really an upper world or something, so he really can't stand his knees to God.
After the sacrifice to heaven, the food was officially collected. At the order of Master Li Zheng, thousands of people rushed to their own fields excitedly.
Fang Chen was also inevitably infected and showed a happy smile.
"Boy Fang, why are you so happy?"
Fang Chen turned his head and saw the old men of Li and Wang family walking towards him, and the one who spoke was Li Zhi. Behind them was a young man, Li Zhong who congratulated the day, and the young man behind Wang Mantang had never seen him. He was slightly fat and looked three-pointed. He thought he was a descendant of his life.
"I have met Mr. Li, Mr. Wang!" He did not dare to neglect, and held a gift from his juniors and smiled: "I am naturally happy to collect grains. I thought I could not even eat food not long ago, but now I am even happier to be able to collect so much food."
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen the head of the Wang family, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Mr. Wang is named Wang Mantang, with a round body shape, with a kind smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha. The old man is really fat, with a length and width error of no more than ten centimeters. He can't tell his eyes and wrinkles when he smiles... Well, that meat circle should be considered.
Now, the three masters in the town have recognized them all.
The Wang family has always been low-key in the town, and the tribe members rarely go out. The Li and Cai family members have always been the ruler in the volunteer camp. The servants at home walk outside, and never cause trouble or cause trouble. They return home immediately after the matter is done, and rarely show off outside.
If the Wang family had not been one of the big families and the heads of the three old families, they could have almost no sense of existence.
Fang Chen had never had contact with the Wang family before, and he learned from the side information. He started his business and had no acquired life. He had five salt fields, so he would not know much.
The only contact is that the Wang family sent someone to congratulate him a few days ago and also sent him a generous gift.
Fang Chen doesn’t matter what the Wang family is. It’s enough to have a clear mind. As he said before, he has no intention of being an enemy of the big families in the town. All he wants is his own development space.
