Liang Hao and others were sent by Mo Jiuye to the city to hire ox carts, the more the better.
The mule carts were left to Mo Chuhan, while the husband and wife went on foot towards the direction of the warehouse.
The two tacitly looked at the location of the pier. Henry's big cargo ship had already sailed away, presumably it had already set off yesterday.
Henry's departure was also a huge convenience for Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
The items He Zhiran purchased in Taobao Mall had completely no evidence.
Mo Jiuye went forward to open the door of the warehouse, while He Zhiran put the rabbits and prepared cages in the empty space at the fastest speed.
They had just finished tidying up here when Mo Chuhan drove the mule carts over.
The moment he entered the warehouse, Mo Chuhan was completely stunned.
Not to mention how many goods were stacked in the warehouse, how much silver did the ninth brother and sister have in their hands!
They actually bought a warehouse full of stuff.
I'm afraid the goods of that cargo ship were all bought by the two of them...
The two had already anticipated what the eighth brother's reaction would be like when he saw these things.
Mo Jiuye lightly coughed with his fist against his lips.
"Eighth brother, Zhiran and I felt that these things could be put to good use at home, so we bought them all."
Just then, the ox carts hired by Liang Hao and the others had not yet arrived, so Mo Jiuye introduced these items to Mo Chuhan.
"Eighth brother, this is called glass, which serves the same purpose as our local window paper here, but it is transparent and does not block light like window paper.
There is also this, called plastic cloth, similar to the oilcloth commonly seen in our Da Shun Dynasty, the difference is also in transparency.
These are tiles used to pave room floors and look very beautiful.
These are all kinds of fruit made into dried fruit. Although they have lost moisture, they are easy to preserve and taste especially good."
As he spoke, Mo Jiuye had already handed a piece of pineapple to Mo Chuhan.
"Eighth brother, try it, it’s sweet and sour and very appetizing."
Mo Chuhan was still immersed in astonishment at these things. He took the pineapple somewhat stiffly and bit off a piece.
Then unintentionally, he ate a whole slice of pineapple.
"I have to say, the dried fruit made by the foreigners is really delicious, I just don't know what kind of fruit this is made of."
"I heard that this thing is called pineapple. Zhiran thinks it tastes pretty good. She bought some seeds from the foreigners and plans to try planting some."
Mo Chuhan kept nodding as he listened: "Well, not bad, not bad. If we can also grow such fruit, it will not only be a treat for the family, but should also sell for a good price."
By now, Mo Chuhan had completely recognized the reality that in the future he would have to work hard to make a living like an ordinary commoner. No matter how hard it was, as long as his family lived in prosperity, it would be fine.
Mo Jiuye took out several more dried fruits for his eighth brother, and the two walked while eating.
Finally, the brothers came to the rabbits.
"Eighth brother, look. The foreigners said that these rabbits do not dig holes and are not prone to disease, making them very suitable for captive breeding."
Not to mention the Giant Angora and Mini Lop rabbits. Apart from their appearance, they also look very good.
Mo Chuhan laughed and said, "Such rabbits given to Han Yue, she will definitely like them."
Not just Han Yue, even he as a grown man wanted to hug them when he saw them, they were so cute...
As for those rabbits prepared for profitability, they were not exactly the same as the wild rabbits hunted in the mountains. Wild rabbits have longer ears and don't have the larger size of these adult rabbits.
What’s more, these rabbits were as white as snow, encountering a white wild rabbit was very rare.
After taking a look around, Mo Chuhan asked, "Ninth younger brother, there are at least two hundred rabbits large and small, right?"
"That's right, exactly two hundred." Mo Jiuye replied.
Mo Chuhan was at a loss.
"Ninth younger brother, with so many rabbits, what will we use to feed them in the future?"
In his perception, wild rabbits mostly lived on wild grass and wild fruits in the mountains.
While it would be fine in other seasons when they could go up the mountain to cut grass to feed them, what about in such cold weather?
"Eighth brother, the foreigners said that in addition to grass, rabbits can also eat radishes and vegetables, and at worst feed them some coarse grains."
Hearing Mo Jiuye's explanation, Mo Chuhan felt relieved.
"It turns out I really didn't know that rabbits can eat these things."
But seeing how fat the foreigners raised rabbits, there should be no mistake.
Just after the two brothers had checked the goods in the warehouse, they heard He Zhiran speaking at the door.
"Husband, eighth brother, the ox carts hired by Liang Hao have arrived, let's move the goods."
The two brothers responded and walked towards the door together.
Liang Hao and the others had hired more than a dozen ox carts, orderly waiting outside the warehouse.
Mo Jiuye directed his family members, together with the carters, to successively load the goods onto the ox carts.
It had to be said that the things He Zhiran had prepared this time were still quite a lot. It was only when more than ten ox carts were fully loaded that a quarter of the goods in the warehouse were moved.
From this it could be seen that in order to move all these things completely, at least four trips would be needed, and it was estimated that the sky would be dark by then.
Both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were concerned about the matter of building a hay shed at home. So they handed over the freight work to their eighth brother and followed the freight ox carts back to Xi Ling Village.
As soon as the ox carts entered the village, they aroused the onlookers of the Zhao and Zhou families.
Having lived in Xi Ling Village for so long, this was still the first time they had seen someone buy so many things at once.
Even the once richest Cui Family had never been so extravagant.
For this reason, the clansmen of the two families unanimously believed that the Mo family would surely become Xi Ling Village’s richest family in the future...
Luckily there were still two vacant rooms at home. Storing the fluffy fabrics there for the time being was just right.
As for the plastic cloth, if left outside for too long it would be prone to weathering, so it might as well be stored in the vacant room along with the fluffy fabrics.
As for the glass and tiles, they were temporarily stacked on the empty ground in the yard.
After sending off the ox carts to continue transporting goods from the warehouse, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran went to the backyard.
Mrs. Mo was truly a capable household manager. After her son and daughter-in-law went out, she went to find the Zhou clan chief, hoping to hire some clansmen to help build hay sheds at home.
Not only that, Mrs. Mo had also come up with a win-win idea.
Just like the modern package deal, she was responsible for the money and plan, while the other party was responsible for the materials and manpower.
What Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran saw when they arrived at the backyard was just such a scene.
Mrs. Mo and several daughters-in-law stood not far away watching, while the villagers kept bringing dried hay and coarse wooden poles from outside the courtyard wall, throwing them in. People on this side of the yard were responsible for building the woodshed.
From this it could be seen that not only was Mrs. Mo decisive, those villagers also had a very good skills at working.
The hay shed was built against the courtyard wall with the basic outline already in place. At this rate, it would surely be completed before nightfall.
At that time, they could move her little rabbits back and orderly put the cages in the hay shed. Then use a grass curtain to block the entrance and it would be all set.
