Chapter 192 Prepare for the big wedding
Chao Gai slapped his head and decided to marry Hu Sanniang on the sixth day of November. Today it was already October 25th, and he almost missed the time to get married.
It took a lot of time to go out to sea.
"I almost missed a big deal, but fortunately I rushed back in time. How was the construction of the Fuzhou Ship and how was it going?"
"Meng Kangna recruited another 200 craftsmen and 300 strong men, and now there are 1,000 people. Six of them are built together and can be launched in the water in the spring. They are all medium-sized blessed ships."
The process flow of the Fu Ship is about half a year, and it is not possible to have one less process. Although the Fu Ship sails slowly, it has partitions inside and has very good anti-sinking properties.
Chao Gai went to the shipbuilding workshop and the machinery workshop and came back, and arranged for the horses to return to Chaojiazhuang.
It was a big deal for Chao Gai to marry. Cheng Wanli and Hu Cheng reached an agreement after several rounds of negotiations. Hu Sanniang and Cheng Wan were equal wives, which were the same big and had equal importance in status. Hu Cheng was still very satisfied with this result.
Chao Gai is very beautiful, both of them are literary and military.
Hu Sanniang is a hero among girls, and her martial arts skills are quite good. She is also of a second-rate general. Cheng Wan is a lady from a family, and her poetry and verses are very research-based and her literary talent is outstanding.
Chao Gai bought a courtyard in Dongping Prefecture. The former Yin-Shiong sold it to Chao Gai when he left. The Suzhou garden-style courtyard was quite good. However, Chao Gai did not plan to settle down in the city, but still settled in Chaojiazhuang.
Firstly, the yard of Chaojiazhuang is relatively large. Although the house has been built for decades, it is sturdy and durable. Secondly, it is a safety issue.
Although Dongping City is good, it is not its own territory. There is no place to live in Chaojiazhuang.
Chaojiazhuang is decorated with lights and colors, which is very lively.
Li Kui led a group of guards to hang lanterns. When he saw Chao Gai coming, he said happily: "Brother, you are back. Take me with you next time when you go out. You are so bored at home."
"I'm out, you're out too. Who's left to keep the family? Besides, you're getting engaged, and you'll get married after the New Year, marry your girl Ying, live a peaceful life, your mother is still waiting to hold her grandson."
Li Kui rubbed his hands happily: "Yes, there are hundreds of cows in the cattle farm this year, so it's really not OK if you don't look at them well."
This year it was a good weather. Five hundred Simmental cattle turned into more than 800 and produced more than 300 calfs.
Simmental cows have a very docile personality. Chao Gai was worried that it was difficult to train the land, but he didn't expect that these cows would be trained easily. However, when plowing the land, there was a person leading the way. The cow was too big and not as flexible as the scalper.
It can cultivate land and produce milk. Apart from eating more grass, there is nothing wrong with it.
In some larger cities such as Dongping Prefecture and Jeju Prefecture, fresh milk is sold every day.
The industrial chain of Simmental cattle has been developed. County Magistrate Shi Wenbin visited the cattle farm once and praised it very much. This cattle is twice as big as ordinary cattle, and the efficiency of working on arable land is much faster.
What is rare is that this kind of cow is very docile and is better than ordinary scalpers. He is good at pulling carts by plowing the land.
What old farmers like most is the fertilizer produced by cattle. Because Simmental cattle eats a lot of straw, it produces a large amount of fertilizer, which is of great significance to increasing grain production.
In the pig farm in the back mountain, there are a lot of fattening pigs with more than 150 kilograms.
Jiao Ting stepped on something dirty and almost slipped.
"Brother, you have too many, so you can't afford a few thousand."
"There are more than 3,000 heads here, and there are more than 3,000 heads in Wujiazhuang. I originally planned to exceed 10,000 heads this year, but I considered that sweet potatoes were not mass-produced and not raised so many, so I will strive to exceed 10,000 heads next year."
The strong man pushed the cart over to clean the pumpkin and poured the carrot into the feed tank.
The fat pigs went up to grab food, and they had a great time.
The pigs raised in Chaojiazhuang are semi-grazed and semi-raising. In summer and autumn, weeds and vegetables are the main food, and we come back in the evening to add food. In late autumn and early winter, we start feeding food vigorously and don’t go out to grazing.
In order to improve the taste of pork, we used methods such as slapping pigs and feeding carrots to improve the taste of pork.
Chao Gai's brother-in-law brought people to catch pigs. Now he exported about 100 heads through the boat every day and was successively put into the markets of Jeju and Dongping Prefecture. In addition, it was to cure a lot of bacon and make ham.
Bacon and ham are the only way to preserve meat, and there is no other way.
The Zhangji ham made in Chaojiazhuang is very distinctive and very popular in the market.
The headmaster Chao Fu came to report: "The owner of the house, the weather is getting colder and it is almost freezing. There are too many fish in the fish pond and it must be caught. How do you see how to distribute it?"
Chao Gai thought for a moment and now there are Mizhou Port and Mizhou Island. There are countless fish and shrimps in the sea and cannot compete with the villagers for profit.
"Let's do it, divide the fish according to the amount of grass you paid at the beginning, and use a slightly larger mesh to arrange the salvage and distribution as soon as possible.
Good owner, just keep enough of our restaurant for use, you can do whatever else you want.”
Fish ponds are crowded.
Chao Gai, Chao Fu, Chao Bin, and Chen Yu, the director of the fish pond, presided over the winter catch ceremony.
Most of the people watching the fun are older and weak.
Chao Gai stood on a high place and waved his fists: "When building a fish pond, I said that the fish here must be divided. It is clear how much weed is distributed. There are records here for how much grass is delivered. The fish are divided by the standard of fifty kilograms of green grass for one kilogram of fish."
It was so exciting that Lao Cai, the landlord in other villages, was not stingy, but Chaojiazhuang was so generous that he was afraid that the villagers would suffer.
"That's great, so good, there's fish to eat." Everyone cheered.
Chao Gai pressed his hand: "But let's make it clear first. No one is allowed to pick fish, grass carp, carp, silver carp, or fat-headed fish. They only weigh the amount, not the variety. They are orderly and rules, and follow what we usually train."
Everyone said, "Don't worry, owner, who doesn't follow the rules, we will be the first to throw him out."
Professional fishermen found from the lake drove fishing boats to trawl nets, using large mesh fishing nets, and could only catch fish larger than two kilograms.
I used a large winter trawl. The fishing boat cast nets into the lake. I found ten mules to pull the nets on the shore.
In everyone's expectant eyes, the fish was boiling and jumping.
"I've got the fish, I've got the fish."
It’s hard to pull ten mules. This fish is so big. The silver carp weighs seven or eight kilograms, and the carp is slightly smaller, and it weighs four or five kilograms.
The first website has pulled more than 10,000 kilograms, but this is the beginning, and there are too many fish here.
