Chapter 113: The Plagued Peanut Land
After resting for a while, Wang Siqi was clamoring to see the rabbit again, so a few people went to the rabbit mountain.
It was another mountain, farther than the one where the chickens were raised, and because the hares were timid, the contracted mountain was some distance from the village and quieter.
The big yellow dog wanted to follow, but Zhou Heng didn't let him. He was afraid that if the dogs disturbed the hares, it would be a bit of trouble.
The hare is a really timid creature.
As they walked along the road, each man had either grapes or pears in his hands, eating and walking.
Zhou Heng was carrying an iron cage that could be sealed, and he put a lot of cages to catch mountain mice in the first two days, and to see if he had caught them, and if he did, he would clear them first and bring them back.
That thing is also harmful to hares.
Along the way, Wang Rui's mouth did not stop, and said: "Uncle, let's go get fish again, I will be your assistant, we will definitely gain a lot if we join forces." ”
In the past, when I was fishing, I also went this way.
Zhou Heng said: "You have an idea a day, you want to see hares, and you want to get fish, you have a lot of ideas!"
"You're wrong, I'm not saying I want to see the hare, I'm looking at the snake carving, it's my sister who wants to see the rabbit. Wang Rui ate the grapes and said.
While talking, I walked and came to the side of Rabbit Mountain.
Wang Zhihong looked at the fence that stretched out the entire outer circle, all of which were so high, and suddenly said in surprise: "How much does this fence have to be built so high?"
Zhou Heng said: "Rabbits are good at jumping, especially hares, which have no restraint and jump very high. If you don't build it so high, you can't stop it. You only see the ground, and it's a meter deep to prevent it from making holes. ”
Wang Zhihong nodded, but his expression was still in a state of surprise, which was too costly.
I haven't seen a rabbit yet, but I saw some rabbit hutches from a distance and said, "I'm afraid that's a lot of money." What about the rabbit seedlings? The rabbit seedlings are not cheap, right?"
Seeing that this land is really not small, and the weeds grow deep, which is suitable for hares to forage for themselves.
In fact, there are not many things to raise hares, just feed some supplementary food, usually the rabbits eat grass by themselves, hide and play by themselves, and no one has anything to do.
As long as the rabbit doesn't get sick, the person is relaxed.
At any time, cut down the vegetables and sweet potato vines that can't be eaten in the field to replenish them, and that's enough.
In a word, as long as the rabbit does not get sick and does not die unexpectedly, the farmer can be much easier.
This vast grassland, in Wang Zhihong's eyes, is all money.
Brother-in-law, this one is really a big game.
Although he had known about raising hares for a long time, he saw it with his own eyes and knew how difficult it was.
Others are cage-raised, and a lot can be raised by opening up a small place, and no matter how bad it is, he will build a cement ground and engage in captivity, but he has contracted such a large piece of mountainous land to engage in free-range breeding.
Wang Zhihong asked Zhou Heng: "You say, many of the rabbits in those restaurants are said to be hares, free-range, or the like, and the people you say eat can tell whether they are free-range or caged?"
Caged breeding, captive breeding, and free-range breeding, obviously the cost is different, so the final price is definitely not the same.
For consumers, they must be hoping to eat cheap and delicious rabbit meat. It is best to be able to eat the price of cages and the quality of free-range.
But everyone knows that this is not possible.
On the contrary, it is still possible to use caged ones to pretend to be free-range.
Can they really tell how it's farmed?
Is it worth it for my brother-in-law to spend so much effort? Why don't you just follow the market trend and cage them? Or usually cage them, and when someone comes to visit, they put the rabbits on the mountain and raise them as free-range breeds.
Maybe someone did just that!
Zhou Heng said: "The difference between free-range breeding and cage breeding, you can see it in a moment. Don't say it's you, even Wang Rui can see it. ”
The group entered the range of hares, Zhou Heng led the way in front, scanned with the mobile phone APP, found the hiding place of a few rabbits, and quietly beckoned to the people behind him.
Wang Zhihong whispered to his son: "Don't make trouble for Lao Tzu for a while! This hare is very expensive, you scared your uncle to death, and you can't afford to bet you here." ”
Wang Rui is good at this, small mistakes are constant, and big mistakes are not made. On the large joints, there is no skin.
When they saw the hare grazing quietly, their eyes lit up, and sure enough, the free-range ones were different from the cage-raised ones!
They hadn't seen other free-range rabbits, but they were convinced by what was in front of them - the color of the fur was so bright, as if it had been coated with a layer of oil, and its eyes were dark and flashing, and it seemed to be very alert, as if they were on guard against anything at any time.
Although their steps here were light, because Wang Siqi couldn't hold back, he pointed at them and shouted "rabbit several", which startled them, and several hares jumped away and fled away.
The grass here is generally knee-deep, making it very difficult for people to walk, but the hare is very nimble and jumps around. Only a few jumps were seen in the grass, and then he disappeared.
Wang Rui played idioms and said: "I know, this is called moving like a rabbit." ”
Why is there no such thing as "moving like a cat" or "moving like a dog"? The difference in agility can be seen at a glance.
The hare is at the bottom of the food chain, and if it is not fast, can it still extend the race?
If it is caged, it is completely impossible to have this agility. I'm afraid that if I take it out of the cage and put it on the ground, I just walk on the spot a few times.
They are kept in cages, they have food when they open their eyes, they have no sense of natural enemies, they are not afraid of people, and they have completely degraded their defense capabilities, so they don't talk about agility.
Just like chickens, caged and free-range are completely different. This kind of obvious agility and alertness, a lot of exercise, and definitely not grow fast.
And look at the color of the coat, it's really shiny.
Wang Zhihong also knows that rabbit fur is very marketable. A coat made of pure rabbit fur is very expensive.
But people must also have requirements for the quality of wool, and the better the better, the more expensive.
Just this hair, it will definitely be worth a lot!
Looking at this, Wang Zhihong put down the heart he had been carrying. No wonder my brother-in-law wants to come back to engage in breeding, he really has a hand, and he can really raise it well.
Chickens can be raised at such an expensive price, and hares are also raised so well, so there is no worry about finding a market.
As Zhou Heng said, the difference between free-range hare and cage breeding can be seen even by him, a layman.
Wang Siqi was still chattering: "I want to see a few rabbits, I want to see a few rabbits......"
However, there are rabbits around here.
Wang Rui said: "As soon as you barked, the rabbits all ran away, and you scared them away." ”
Wang Siqi pouted and didn't admit it: "It's not that I scared me away." ”
Wang Rui said: "You are a Laipi, I will call you a little Laipi in the future." Little Lai Pi, Little Lai Pi ......"
Wang Siqi began to chase after him.
Wang Rui dodged left and right, deliberately dangling in front of his sister's eyes, but did not let her touch the corner of his clothes, and said: "My 'Ling Bo Weibu' has been cultivated to the fifth level, can I be beaten by you? Hmph, you underestimate me too much." ”
These two guys!
Zhou Heng shook his head with a smile and said, "Wang Rui, you can only be majestic in front of your sister!
Wang Rui didn't feel ashamed at all, and asked him: "Uncle, when is the snake carving coming? Why hasn't it come yet? Can I see it?"
Zhou Heng turned his head and looked at the place where the sand sculpture appeared before, but he didn't see it.
Maybe I saw someone else, so I didn't come.
That may be destined for Wang Rui not to see.
After they saw the hare, there was nothing unusual, and they were ready to go back.
Hu Jinhua has already fed it once in the morning, and then once in the evening, so he doesn't have to do anything. Anyway, there is a lot of grass here, enough for them to eat.
After looking at the rabbits, the next step is to look at the cages and see how many mountain rats have been caught.
This Wang Rui is more experienced, after all, he has been there a few times, and he has seen the world. Once, when he caught a mountain mouse alive, he even asked him to carry a bucket.
The iron cages are all marked, just look for them one by one.
This time the harvest is really not small, because this place is not visited by many people, it is simply a paradise for them.
After Wang Zhihong ate this thing, he immediately said greedily: "It's better for me to come here early than to come at a good time! I'm just in time to eat this! I have to drink a good meal of wine." ”
An iron cage is almost full, and they are all desperately biting the cage and bluffing. There are also some who fight with each other and make a mess.
Wang Rui said: "Dad, you have grown so fat, you shouldn't eat too much meat." ”
Wang Zhihong: "......"
Zhou Heng smiled: "Wang Rui, you let your father not eat it, and then leave it all for you to eat?"
Wang Rui nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's what I meant." I'm so skinny, it doesn't matter if I eat more meat, but my dad is too fat. ”
He didn't see his dad's slap brewing momentum at all.
The mountain rat in this big iron cage was carried home, and it was simply eye-catching on the way, and many people looked at this side with envy.
When I got home, Li Yunlian was cooking lunch, and I was very happy to see this pile.
She said: "This thing is harmful to people in the mountains, so it's good to catch it clean." ”
After eating lunch for a while, she was going to get all of them, kill them and roast them in the chaff. It just so happened that the son-in-law came, and there was also an extra appetizer.
Zhou Heng asked, "Mom, where is my dad?" It's noon, it's very hot, what are you doing out?"
"Your father went to the peanut field to see if there were any turtledoves that were harming peanuts. Li Yunlian replied.
As he was talking, Zhou Faqiang came back, he was so hot that he was sweating, and he took off his straw hat and fanned the wind when he entered the yard.
He brought back a few peanut seedlings, and the peanuts on them were all eaten, and only a few small ones were left that they could not look down on.
In addition to peanuts, there are several corn fields, which have also been disgraced.
The corn was just formed, still wrapped, and it could be peeled open, and the kernels inside were eaten cleanly, and there was not a single grain left, as if they had been picked off with a tool.
Over the years, there have been more and more of these birds, but they have also become more and more harmful to crops.
Yesterday morning he laid nets in the peanut field to prevent these birds, and it was completely useless to pretend to be a scarecrow.
But now, even pulling the net is useless. Those birds are really fine.
