Chapter 123: The Friendship of Landlords
The next day, Zhou Heng called the driver who shipped for him twice last time, made an appointment, and then prepared it at home to see the situation of chickens and rabbits.
The chicks grow very fast, and they have basically changed their colors, white, black, flowery, numb, all kinds of them, jumping up and down in the fruit forest, not losing the liveliness of the big chickens.
They still eat fine rice, but they eat some grass seeds, find some insects to eat, or eat some vegetable leaves thrown up in the orchard, which is similar to the habit of big chickens.
In two days, you can eat coarse grains directly like big chickens.
In addition, there is another thing, this chicken will grow for a few more months, and it will be ready to castrate the less necessary rooster, which is also called "line chicken" here.
Because of this large number of more than 6,000 chickens, there are male and female chickens when they are bought, and all hens can lay eggs, and too many roosters seem to be of little use, and there are too many roosters, they will be aggressive, provoking and fighting all day long, and they will consume energy and do not grow meat.
Therefore, it is necessary to castrate a part of the rooster so that the number of male and female chickens reaches a balance.
Chickens that have been castrated are generally called thread chickens.
After the rooster is castrated into a line chicken, the male characteristics such as the comb and tail are not too long, so there are no big red crowns, long tails and other things that enhance appearance, and they can't crow.
So roosters, hens, and line chickens are quite well divided.
In fact, after losing their male characteristics, the line chicken eats a lot, is not aggressive, grows fast, and is generally fatter and more fleshy than the ordinary rooster, and some line chickens can also hatch eggs, which is very easy to manage.
Now, it is said that the business of gelding is about to be lost, and Zhou Heng is really a little worried.
He remembers that when he was a child, every year in March and April, there would be a tall middle-aged man, carrying his tools, shuttling through the villages and shouting, like a bell: "Chicken in line...... Chicken yo ......"
Because each family is a chicken after the beginning of spring, so the growth is about the same, basically many chickens in the surrounding villages, he is alone.
At that time, he was still young and ignorant, and he and many friends followed the chicken master, watching him one by one, watching him gelding.
The man has a big net, or the people leave the chicken to be castrated in the coop in the morning, and when he comes, they go to his big net and gel one after another.
A chicken finishes in less than a minute, and the castrated chicken is thrown to the ground, bouncing happily and basically without any mistakes.
It is said that the steer was cut off, and some people made it into a dish, and thought it was very supplemental, but no one here ate it, so they threw it away.
In the past, each family in ordinary rural areas raised dozens of chickens, and when guests came to the house, the first thing to kill was the line chicken, because there was a lot of meat and no eggs were laid.
It turns out that no one has inherited this craft.
In the past, the master of the line chicken went around the village, but now he doesn't come, and the number of chickens is small, so he continues to raise them casually, and he kills the rooster when he comes.
But Zhou Heng has a lot of roosters here, he must gel the chickens, otherwise it will not be a matter for the chickens to fight every day in the future.
He asked his parents and learned that the tall chicken master was now old and didn't go to the village to go through the countryside, but he could still go to his house to invite him, and he was willing to come over if there were many of them.
Oh my God, please bless this master with a long life!
Otherwise, who will the chickens look for in the future......
After eating at noon, the delivery car came, the family was busy, put a hundred chickens in a cage and put them in the car, Zhou Heng carried a bag of wild lemons, sat in the co-pilot, and set off.
If the road conditions are good, you can go to Huacheng tomorrow morning, just right.
On the way, he contacted his old colleague Xiao Chen and said the approximate time of arrival. Xiao Chen is now receiving Edward, and these two days are the busiest time of the trade fair.
After Zhou Heng arrived, he finished his own affairs, took a little rest, and was able to have dinner with them in time, then rest for the night, and return by high-speed train the next morning.
Theoretically, that's how it's arranged.
However, in fact, there were some problems on the way, which caused the whole trip to be several hours late, and it was afternoon to Huacheng.
Xiao Chen replied to him over there, it's okay, Brother Heng is busy with the things at hand first, it's okay to delay it for an extra day, Edward also asked him to take his time.
When I arrived at Boss Jiang's shop, the boss was not there, but he arranged the reception manpower, ordered the number of chickens, and after putting them in the yard, he also paid Zhou Heng half of the final payment.
The total transaction was five hundred chickens, five hundred and one, and the first time a deposit of eighty-three thousand was paid, and this time eighty-three thousand were also paid.
The rest will be paid after delivery.
The hand is a little more abundant, and the publicity of breeding in the back can be more open.
Then, Zhou Heng called Jiang Xiaoxuan again, and originally made an appointment to give her the wild lemon in the store, but she hadn't come yet.
"Hey, have you arrived?"
"It's time to arrive, I'm at the door, you...... Can you help me bring it to the door?" Jiang Xiaoxuan's voice.
"Okay, no problem. After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
He walked out with the wild lemon he had picked the day before. There is a total of more than ten catties here, that is, what is left over from soaking wine.
Jiang Xiaoxuan drove over, and saw Zhou Heng coming over with a bag from a distance, her face was full of smiles, and she didn't even notice it.
This is a man who gave up the courier in order to see himself and brought her lemons with his own hands!
As the saying goes, it's not really about what he does for you, it's just that he happens to be the one who does it for you.
She opened the door, got out of the car, and stood there, smiling at him, bright and dazzling.
Zhou Heng walked over with the bag, and when he saw that smile, he suddenly felt that the originally ordinary sky suddenly became brighter, making people reluctant to blink.
The dress she wore today was also beautiful, certainly not the kind she had last night.
Shet, where do you want to go.
In front of the door of this private restaurant, there was a distance of three meters between the two people, but neither of them moved, one smiled, the other watched.
Jiang Xiaoxuan suddenly laughed, then straightened her face, and invited loudly: "I'm going to try a new flavor of cake with wild lemon, do you want to try it?"
"This ...... Don't have any conditions, right?" Zhou Heng also smiled and teased.
Speaking of which, the process of understanding the two people has always been quite simple. But if it weren't for these, they probably wouldn't have been entangled for so long.
She also advertised her eggs.
Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled: "There are no conditions this time. I used to be in your house, and I was well taken care of by you. When you come to my house, shouldn't I do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord?"
"That'...... All right. Zhou Heng looked like he thought about it again and again, and then nodded with a smile and replied.
Then I remembered that I had made an appointment with Xiao Chen and Edward for dinner? Forget it, let them eat by themselves first.
Jiang Xiaoxuan and Gu Xueshi are now living in a relatively remote homestay in Huacheng, and she wants to try the popular homestay now and experience it.
Now the B&B is really hot, it seems to have a competitive posture with the regular hotel, and the price is not expensive, but the living experience is very good, and it feels OK.
And she also has a purpose to experience it - she has lived in Longxi Village for a while, and many people have mentioned that the environment there is very good, and tourist homestays can be developed as one of the ways for the villagers to get rich.
But everyone knows that if you really want to do this, the appearance of the village, and the houses will have to be at least renovated - the cost will be a test for many villagers.
B&B, pay more attention to the decoration style, cheap thousands of yuan modification, expensive cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
She now rents a place that is not very expensive to live in, to see how it feels, and to observe the crowd of people who come to live by the way.
Although it is different from Longxi Village, it can also be compared with the experience, and Longxi Village also has its own characteristics.
Many of the people who come to live here are tourists from other places, and they want to have a short-term rental such as "one-day trip to the flower city" and "three-day tour", which is cheap and comfortable, and the income of the landlord is relatively high.
If it is only a daily monthly or annual rent, you will not be able to get such a high rent.
Not to mention ordinary villages, even many small hotels and guesthouses are very interested in this business model, and they have changed the original hotel-style decoration to a homestay type.
This shows the popularity of this model.
In fact, although the place she rented is not expensive, the decoration style is still very beautiful, which is currently a popular ins style, which is very popular with girls.
The current era of consumption, which basically belongs to the era of women and children, grasps these two groups, which is about equivalent to grasping men's money bags.
She believes that if Longxi Village is converted into a homestay, it can also refer to this kind of road, and there is no need for very expensive decoration, just use local materials and have a simple and elegant pastoral style.
It is a good place for people to go there to taste the real rural food, visit the idyllic landscapes, and give their souls a vacation.
These are some of her current experiences.
Zhou Heng helped bring the wild lemon up, looked around, and said, "This place is good!"
This is a place in the countryside of Huacheng, a real countryside, the kind with yards and fields, not a rural village in the sense of an urban village.
However, no matter how rural it is, it is also the countryside of Huacheng, and the people here are also very rich, not comparable to Zhou Heng's kind of countryside.
The houses here are usually only three or four storeys high, and there is a small plot of land in front of and behind the house, where flowers and plants are planted, and on the other side of the road is a large field with all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
The house is not new, but the surface has been slightly renovated and it looks very comfortable.
Zhou Heng looked at it for a while and asked, "Where is your best friend?"
He already knew before that Gu Xueshi also lived here.
"Oh, she's going to have dinner at home today, she'll be back after dinner. Jiang Xiaoxuan poured him a glass of water, and then replied while packing up the lemons.
Gu Xueshi's family is more complicated, and having a meal is like a dinner party, which is extremely large.
Zhou Heng nodded.
And then I thought, it's just the two of us here?!
So next...... Hey, hey, hey.
Just as he was thinking about it, the keyhole moved, the door was pushed open, and Gu Xueshi, who was dressed in fancy clothes, came back with a big bag of things.
This......
