Chapter 147: The Incubator Arrives
I don't know how long I sat in the shade of a tree, and a message woke up the two people who were drowsy.
Zhou Heng took out his mobile phone and thought to himself, I'm not drunk, why am I dozing?
Terrible, terrible!
Even the big yellow dog, who was lying quietly next to them, was awakened by a soft mobile phone ring, looked up at him, and flicked his tail.
Zhou Heng answered the phone, and it turned out that the courier had arrived. I ordered an incubator two days ago, and I've arrived in town, so let's pick it up.
Zhou Heng thought about it, isn't his father in the town, and then called him and asked him to bring it back by the way.
Jiang Xiaoxuan also woke up and asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Heng said: "I bought an egg incubator and sent it to the town, let me pick it up." ”
"Isn't that a hen hatching eggs?"
"There are too few hens to hatch eggs, and hens can only hatch eggs if they want to, and they can't be forced in the nest if they don't want to hatch. It can only be artificially incubated. ”
"Oh. ”
He tried to hatch the first batch himself, and when it came next year, it would have to be scaled up.
The second generation of chickens can inherit 70% of the genes of the first generation of chickens, but there is nothing special about the breeding technology.
In this regard, the people in the village raise chickens at home, so there is no difficulty.
But for Zhou Heng, the management aspect is a challenge. After the number is large, it is like this in any industry, and the management must be cautious.
He now tries these incubation and other problems first, eliminates some problems that may be encountered, and arranges the next batch next year.
After Jiang Xiaoxuan heard him say this, she asked in hindsight, "Why are you sitting next to me? What do you want to do?"
Zhou Heng: ???
He said in surprise: "You're pretending to be drunk, aren't you? ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan scratched her head in confusion, walked to the side expressionlessly (collapsed inside), and began to pack her things.
She had already remembered, she had just dozed off by herself, and she had slept on someone else's shoulder for a while......
Quit drinking, you must quit drinking in the future!
Seeing the camera that was still shooting, she hesitated to smash it and buy a new one.
She felt that her camera had betrayed her and made her ugly shots.
Zhou Heng cleaned up the mess here and said, "Let's go back now, can you go?"
Jiang Xiaoxuan stood up, except for a little numbness in her legs, the rest was fine, the alcohol had been metabolized. But she still asked, "What if I can't go?
"That's not good, I've got enough stuff on my back, a bucket of fish, a basket, a bamboo basket, and all these miscellaneous things. Zhou Heng shook his head.
Jiang Xiaoxuan is not empty-handed, she wants to take a camera and an aerial camera, and she has to take time to take pictures on the return trip.
The most idle is the big yellow dog, and when he comes, he eats with a mixed meal, and he doesn't have to do anything.
Zhou Heng didn't think about these things at all, the only thing he was thinking about now was, how to get the soft-shelled turtle in the bucket to eat tonight? Or should he raise it for two days first, and wait for the old lady to come back?
The provincial capital is so far away, there is no way to come back on the same day to see my sister-in-law.
However, there is no problem in terms of food and housing, not to mention that the aunt and her two children are there, and Zhou Ying will also find a way to settle the old lady.
is afraid that they will save money, and they are reluctant to live in a better place.
Speaking of which, Zhou Ying originally planned to go to her mother-in-law's house today for seven and a half months, but now that something happened, she went to see her little uncle, and Wang Zhihong went back with her two children.
All the way home, the two of them seemed to have traveled thousands of miles, put down their things and sat in the yard to rest for a while.
Zhou Heng took out two pears from the refrigerator - the pears were picked in the morning, and they were eaten after being frozen in the refrigerator for a while, they were sweet and cold, not too refreshing.
Otherwise, now that the sun has been basking for a day, it will still be hot in your hand.
As usual, he took the fruit knife again, peeled the pear skin into a whole long skin, handed it to Jiang Xiaoxuan, and then peeled it for himself.
Some things, how can it be as if they have been done all their lives, and just go with the flow.
Jiang Xiaoxuan took the pear and ate it beautifully, sweet from her mouth to her heart.
Then she was thinking about dinner, which they still had to figure out on their own.
There is no need to worry about the dishes, there are a lot of vegetables in the field, and then I got so many fish and shrimp or something, and there are still a lot of various meat dishes that I bought in the town yesterday.
After eating the pears, take a break in the yard to cool off and blow the wind.
Jiang Xiaoxuan proposed: "Boss, before dinner, would you like to have a harmonica accompaniment?"
She felt that such a windy afternoon was suitable for a while.
Zhou Heng didn't twist either, went in and took the harmonica out, and didn't ask, just came to what he was good at, "The Phoenix Piano in the Moonlight".
"The phoenix-tailed bamboos under the moonlight, soft, beautiful like green fog,
The good girl in the bamboo building, dazzling like a pearl in the night,
How many affectionate gourd sheng, pouring out the love in their hearts to you,
Hey, good peacock girl, why don't you open your window......"
Jiang Xiaoxuan listened, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, this song is quite good!
She leaned back in the chaise longue with her hands on her lap, patting softly and humming along.
A song is blown.
Zhou Heng asked her, "Does it sound good?"
"Well, that's good. Jiang Xiaoxuan replied seriously, she didn't mean to raise the bar or rainbow fart, she knew it by looking at her expression.
Then she said, "How about a song called Kikujiro's Summer? I don't know how the harmonica blows out......"
Zhou Heng said: "You really know how to order, I just practiced this song for a while, did you install a monitor in my head?"
Jiang Xiaoxuan grinned.
It's a very light song, and it's always enjoyable to listen to, and she really never gets tired of listening to it.
Zhou Heng thought to himself, he still has the function of singing, he also likes this song, he has listened to it a lot, and it is okay to practice it again.
A gust of wind blew, and the trees in the courtyard rattled, as if to harmonize with the sound of his harp.
Zhou Heng glanced at the big yellow dog lying next to him, and suddenly thought that sometimes when he watched a video on the Internet, as soon as the dog heard the owner playing the piano or something, he would stretch his neck and sing along?
It's good to have your own dog, just lie there and listen, and don't scream.
The kittens patrolled the whole yard, already very imposing. If you see a sparrow that falls by chance or something, you will start hunting.
This little bird was also one of the recipes of the meow people.
However, the kittens are still small and have not yet succeeded in catching sparrows. Zhou Heng is very optimistic about it, and in time, it will succeed.
Anyway, now that it's there, these aliens don't want to live in peace.
Nursing home has its share of credit.
But because of it, the goose at home now has to be kept to prevent it from entering.
The main thing is that cats are not like dogs, except for the sound of knocking on the bowl, it basically can't understand anything, and the hunting desire is high, so it can only be isolated.
After playing for a while, Zhou Faqiang came back in a tricycle, and in the back box were the seeds he bought today, as well as the incubator.
Zhou Heng was busy helping to unload the things, and then looked at the instructions to explain how to use them.
This thing is actually very simple, just a few keys, and it is very easy to operate.
After understanding it, they carried the machine to the chicken coop, put it there to incubate, and raised it there directly after it came out, so as not to move.
The incubator that Zhou Heng bought is multi-layered, with layers of lattices inside, and each layer can hold a certain number of eggs, all of which can reach more than a thousand.
Now the hundreds of eggs saved at home are completely fine.
According to the instructions, turn on the water and electricity first, wait and see the temperature and humidity changes after three hours. A table is also included here, so you can check it at any time.
If the data is within the correct value, the eggs can be placed on and start hatching.
The operating principle here is actually that the heating tube first heats the water and then supplies the temperature to the eggs. It also has an automatic flip function, eliminating manual operation.
It can be said that it is still very simple.
Zhou Faqiang saw the machine that began to run, and secretly sighed strangely, people are amazing now, what kind of technology can be invented.
Express delivery is also a good thing, no matter where it is produced, you can buy it online, and you just need to go to town and drag it back.
In the past, it was very rare to go to the provincial capital, but now, you don't have to go out of town, even foreign things can be bought!
Ten years ago, who would have dared to think of this!
Zhou Heng checked around according to the manual, and felt that there was no problem, so he said: "Okay Dad, let's go down, you don't have to guard this, just come and see it later." After eating dinner and playing for a while, I came up again, and the time was just right. ”
Next to the machine was the hen that had been hatching eggs, and now it was about to be liberated, and the nest of eggs would soon come out.
I wonder if it will feel inferior in the face of a machine that can hatch eggs better than it?
In fact, there is really no need to be inferior, this machine can only hatch eggs, but there is no maternal love, and it will not play with chicks.
Alas, it would have been nice to buy this machine earlier, and if everyone had come out of the chicks at about the same time, maybe they could have thrown them to the hens with them.
Think about that scene, a hen with hundreds of cubs, it is still very spectacular, maybe all the chickens will envy it.
It's a pity that there weren't that many eggs back then.
Let's see if the hen still has motherhood after these eggs hatch, and I hope it can help bring it around.
After going down, Zhou Heng was going to prepare tonight's meal, and of course Jiang Xiaoxuan also expressed her participation.
Zhou Faqiang asked him, "Are you going to cook?"
There was a little embarrassment in his words, and he thought that he should make it for the children to eat. No matter how old Zhou Heng is now, he thinks he is a child.
It's a pity that his cooking skills are not good, washing vegetables and palm the stove are okay, and the situation does not allow him to be polite to the children.
And now it seems that Zhou Heng can only be the life of the head of the stove, and most of the pot still has to rely on Jiang Xiaoxuan.
Zhou Heng silently accepted the great business of the stove inherited by his father, picked up the basket and went to the field to get vegetables.
