Chapter Ninety-Seven: Plans to Raise Hares
After dinner, when the whole family sat down to enjoy the coolness, Zhou Heng said something that surprised the whole family.
He said he was going to raise free-range hares.
His parents were so shocked that they didn't even watch the news, but looked at him blankly, very surprised.
The family is raising chickens and fish, and now the son says that he wants to raise hares, is this a little too big?
Zhou Heng tempted them: "If someone else raises a hare, it can be sold in three or four months, and it costs more than 100 yuan a piece!"
It's true that he wants to raise something short-term, raising chickens and fish is very time-consuming, and although the plan of the second generation of chickens is very good, the chickens have just changed their moults.
If you really want to implement it, you have to do it after the New Year at the earliest.
Therefore, it is actually very suitable to raise some short-term ones, which is not just the mobile phone APP, and there is also the task of breeding hares.
When he came back yesterday, he didn't mention it to his family, mainly because his father was still worried about others raising his second-generation chickens, so he didn't say it.
Gotta let them slow down.
But even now that it is proposed, they still dare not accept it.
They are afraid that they will raise something else rashly, and when the time comes, the funds will not be able to keep up, and they will not have the money to come out, what will they do when the time comes?
To be honest, don't look at the two large deposits, but the money spent is also a lot, 6,000 chicken seedlings, chicken coops, and a contracted lake, fish fry, and fish boats, plus the usual chicken vaccine or something.
At present, chickens still eat the food grown at home, and there is no need to buy it for the time being, but when the chickens grow up, the little food grown at home is definitely not enough, and they will have to spend money to buy it at that time.
If you want to raise hares, the little land contracted by the family is not enough, if it is free-range, it must be a very spacious mountainous area, and the area is large, and the money is a lot.
If you cover the mountain, you are afraid that the hare will run away, and you must build a fence, and if you want to build a long-term one, the money will not be less.
In addition to the money for the purchase of hare seedlings, and in addition, what do the hares eat? They don't grow if they just eat grass? They have to be fed with food.
As long as they think about these things, they panic and dare not accept them rashly.
However, raising hares can make money, this must be good, the son does not go out to work, but also wants to do something at home, which they also know.
Originally, the son has ideas, and they should fully support them as parents, if they have money in hand and don't have these worries, they definitely don't have to hesitate, they blame themselves for not being capable.
As soon as Zhou Heng looked at his father's frowning brows, he knew that he was worried about money again.
He smiled and said: "Dad, money is not worried, only by moving the money can it make money." Don't worry, I know what to expect. ”
At present, two deposits have been collected, although a lot has been spent, but there is still money left in hand, the cost of breeding the first batch of rabbits is not to worry, the first half of the batch of chickens shipped, there is a balance of money, the number is not small, these aspects do not have to worry.
If he doesn't do anything, the money will still be the money.
But if it is used to do something else, such as a hare that can be slaughtered in three or four months, and can be raised after the cubs are raised, then it can increase the income!
At least when he wants to do something else after he has money in hand, his father will not show this kind of sadness about money.
In the breeding APP, the mountains suitable for the growth of hares are circled in red, which is the first side task.
Free-range hare has high requirements for the environment, because it has poor disease resistance, can not be wet, or it is easy to get sick, and in terms of temperature, rabbits are afraid of heat and cold, so shade should be there.
Another important point is that rabbits are timid and will jump around when they are frightened, which is easy to bruise, or directly scared to death, causing losses. Therefore, it must be far away from the human and animal villages.
In addition, there are natural predators that need to be paid attention to. The hare is at the bottom of the food chain, and anything can eat it, so you have to think more about it.
Having said that, there will be problems in everything you do, even if you work part-time, it is not perfect, and there are performance worries. It's impossible to say that you won't do it because you have a problem.
The APP in Zhou Heng's mobile phone gives a relatively suitable environment for raising hares, so it's good to contract according to it.
Free-range breeding occupies a lot of land than captivity, and of course, the quality of the raised will be much higher.
In recent years, it has become more and more popular to eat rabbits, especially in winter, some hotels and restaurants will indicate that there are braised rabbits, roast rabbit meat and the like.
At least the market can guarantee it.
And he can be sure that the ones he raises must be of better quality than the ordinary ones on the market, and the price is also higher.
With the black technology breeding APP in hand, what are you afraid of?
Although his parents were a little worried, worried that they would not have the strength to support him, they finally nodded in agreement and asked what to do next.
Zhou Heng pointed out the location of the mountain, which was still half a mountain, giving the hare a little more lenient area, and reserving the territory for breeding later. This has to start with the contracting thing.
Cage or captivity doesn't need such a large area, but that's not what Zhou Heng wants to raise - to be precise, that can't complete the task in the APP.
Then, Zhou Heng had to contact and customize the barbed wire fence to surround the periphery first to prevent the hare from escaping.
This is not easy, the hare is very jumpy, the barbed wire has to be high enough to do it, and on the other hand, the hare also likes to make holes, even in the ground.
Therefore, the net needs to be two meters high above the ground and one meter below ground – because hare burrows at a limited depth, usually up to half a metre.
This height needs to be customized. As for the overall length, you need to measure it on the spot to know.
In addition, hares like to burrow and live in a hole, but now rabbit hutches built in the shape of a hole are also sold.
These are all preparations.
Also, hare seedlings should also be carefully selected, not real hare seedlings can not be wanted.
In their place, there is no good hare seedling breeding base around, but there is one near the provincial capital, and it is relatively famous.
Then you have to check it out first to see if it's good.
After raising the hare, Zhou Heng will not be as idle as he is now, because the hare can be slaughtered or bred in three or four months, and he must do a good job of advertising and publicity in advance to pave the way for sales.
Can't wait until all the cubs are born, others don't know that he has high-quality hares for sale here.
Their family began to discuss these things from dinner, and it was not until the beginning of the month that these problems were slowly sorted out, and his parents gradually felt his confidence from Zhou Heng's attitude.
And this faith also infected them, so that they no longer had any hesitation.
……
Gu Xueshi walked in humming a song, and when she saw Jiang Xiaoxuan sitting in the courtyard, she jumped and sat next to her.
Then at a glance, he saw the water chestnut, lotus seeds, etc. next to her, and asked in surprise: "Where did you go to wave today? Go to a fun place, why don't you call me? Ah, baby Xuan, you have changed your mind, you don't love me anymore!"
After saying that, you're welcome, and I'll take it and eat it myself.
Jiang Xiaoxuan "shhh ”
While eating, Gu Xueshi asked in a low voice, "What are you discussing?"
"It looks like breeding rabbits, right? Contracting mountains or something. Jiang Xiaoxuan said.
"Ahh
"It's all said, don't make a noise! I understood some words, and then guessed. Jiang Xiaoxuan quietly hugged the cat and said.
She listens to Zhou Heng's words and can understand more, and she may be used to listening to his Mandarin, so she can understand some dialects.
Gu Xueshi's head leaned lazily on her shoulder, eating water chestnut casually, and said, "Tell me honestly, where did you two go on a date with me behind your back?
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Jiang Xiaoxuan heard her best friend's ridicule, and suddenly thought that she fell asleep on someone else's shoulder when she was listening to the play, and her heart chuckled for a while.
Uh, I said that I had selective amnesia, but why haven't I forgotten it until now!
However, she didn't immediately deny it - she still understands her best friend's character, and the more she denies it, the more she can't tell, so she deliberately said as if she didn't hear the point: "I went to the theater today, in the town next door." ”
"Wow, watching a play? It's so romantic? I've only seen a movie! Is the play good? Oh my God, my little heart is pounding!" Gu Xueshi asked a little excitedly.
After all, she hadn't seen it!
Although she also knows that watching a play is actually boring, the atmosphere of the scene is still very different, at least it will be good to experience it.
Jiang Xiaoxuan recalled: Is the play good? We don't know, we're all asleep!
Then she said: "Actually, those actors and artists are still good, I heard that they are all very old, and the youngest ones are over forty years old, but their appearance and figure are very good." That martial artist is really jumping. There is an old martial artist who is very old, and I can see it even if he wears makeup. ”
Their position is relatively high, and they can see it very clearly, there is an old student, and when he sings, the green tendons on his forehead and neck are bulging, and he must have sung very hard.
That's all really singing.
Although the audience was very amateurish, and they didn't even know how to shout and cheer, they still sang very seriously.
A female girl in her forties has to play a twenty-eight-year-old daughter, and she has to show her figure, temperament, and eyes.
Seriously, she is more willing to think about these things than to evaluate whether she sings well or not.
She thinks that she is actually quite lucky, maybe in a few years, there will be no more such art in the local area, and it may be completely eliminated, then she has at least heard it on the spot.
Well, it's felt.
Gu Xueshi listened to her devotion, and couldn't help laughing: "You guys are really dating?"
"Hey, I'm tickling you. Jiang Xiaoxuan stretched out her hand into a claw, pretending to scratch her face.
The kitten in her hand also stretched out one of its front legs and showed its paws.
She suddenly said, "Yes, yes, the kitten also helps me get angry, scratch her!
The kitten was held by her, her eyes were indifferent, and she passively waved her little front paws.
Gu Xueshi buried her face in the kitten's belly and said, "I'm not afraid of you, come on, come and scratch me!"
Jiang Xiaoxuan let out a "wow" and said, "I have never seen such an unreasonable request! Since you say so, then I will reluctantly fulfill you!"
The two girls habitually quarreled again.
