"Chicks, buy chicks. There was shouting on the street, and the second grandmother came over to call grandma.

"Grandma Yoyo, the one who bought the chicks is here, let's take a look?"

"Okay, let's see. Yoyo immediately followed his grandmother out the door.

In the open space in the middle of the street, there are two baskets of chickens, covered with pale yellow fine fluff, like a small pom-pom, "chirping" and huddled together.

The side was full of people, and the people who bought chickens squatted there for everyone to pick out. The ones were picked out and put in a small basket, and the mouth was still counting.

Everyone was communicating with each other about how many they bought, and Han Daowei, the accountant of the team, was keeping accounts on the side. Han Daowei went to junior high school and was considered a talent in the village. Although he is only in his thirties, he is stable and fair, and has won everyone's trust.

From everyone's conversation, Yoyo learned that it was an old customer who sold chickens, and he came to the village every year. Give the chicks to everyone on credit in the spring, and come back to collect the accounts after the autumn harvest.

The accountant in the village guarantees everyone, and if he encounters a default, he will directly transfer it to the team and deduct it directly at the end of the year.

Ten chickens cost a dollar, and most people want a dollar, and some people want more. "I have spare money in my hand this year, I want twenty, and last year I passed the chicken (chicken plague), and there was only one old hen left in my family. ”

The second grandmother and grandma discussed how many chickens to buy this year, and grandma looked at Youyou and thought of the chicken stewed mushrooms that she had never forgotten.

"Second grandma, this year's hand is super wide, so I will buy more and feed. Our two families live in the village, and if the chickens can find live food to eat, they need fifty, and if they are fed, they can become more than twenty. ”

Yoyo didn't plan it that way, for the tender and delicious chai chicken, relying on the science and technology of later generations, the survival rate had to be more than 90%.

"Then I also have more points, this year's luck of my family is good, feed whatever is good, the four pigs look long, the two ewes are pregnant, and my family also wants fifty. Raise a group of people to gather in piles, saving two or three chickens from running to your house and pushing them around. ”

Yes, the second grandmother still remembers that her chickens are laying eggs at Youyou's house, and your old man has saved feed.

Seeing that grandma and second grandmother asked for more chickens, other people in the village also asked for more, but they were all twenty or thirty, which was more than double that of previous years.

The chicken seller happily shouted: "You can finish in one village, you don't have to go to another village today, you can finally go home for a day." ”

Listening to the discussion of the villagers, you know that there is no such thing as epidemic prevention when families raise chickens. In the case of chicken plague and avian influenza, the mortality rate must be more than 60%.

In later generations, chicken farming technology was superb, all kinds of vaccines and drugs were available, and the survival rate reached almost 100%. Even if the free-range chickens of later generations are not fed with medicine, epidemic prevention is a must.

For the welfare of the whole village, and in order not to let his family become the focus, Youyou instructed Zhinao to find out the key points of raising chickens, prepare necessary epidemic prevention drugs, and remind himself on time.

In order to eat tender and delicious chai chicken, it is really not easy, and Yoyo deeply understands the meaning of doing it yourself.

Grandma and the second grandmother each asked for fifty chickens, went home and put them in the chicken cage, Didi happily circled around the chickens, grabbed them with her hands while grandma was not paying attention, and was pulled to the school by grandma and handed over to Hao Hao to take.

Since then, Yoyo has had a new task, every time the chick epidemic prevention link, he runs around the village to secretly release epidemic prevention medicine. Fortunately, the chickens in each family are kept in the chicken coop, and the children like to lie down next to the chicken coop to watch, but they are not noticed by the adults.

Although there are only about 50 households in the village, it also took Yoyo several days to run. Today's children run around to play, which provides great convenience for Yoyo to cheat.

People also wonder that this year's chicks are easy to feed, and few of them die because of the strong chicks hatched in the chicken house.

The chicks of himself and his second grandmother's house, Youyou not only prevent the epidemic, but also secretly feed the special feed for the chicks. Not only do they all survive, but they also grow fast.

The second grandmother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "Grandma Yoyo, I have to listen to your words, this year we have bought this chicken, look at this day." also let you say, we are suitable for raising chickens outside the village, and they are bigger than the chickens of other families in the village. ”

Grandma laughed when she heard this, and her old man knew in her heart that this was the credit of Youyou.

The solar term is almost the beginning of summer, the sky is beautiful, and it rains at night, and it is time to plant cotton. The second grandmother's self-reserved land, this year's left spring land, the first two days she soaked cotton seeds to promote germination.

Hearing that it was raining at night, the family got up early to plant cotton on their own land, and the half acre of land was busy until more than eight o'clock. The rest of the cotton seeds were chopped on the cutting board, and the sound of "bang bang bang" came far away.

Hearing the sound, Gui Ping threw the entangled cotton wool out while chopping, and asked from time to time: "Mother, okay?" The second grandmother came over to take a look: "I still have to chop, and I don't have to pad my teeth if I break it." ”

Gui Ping worked hard for a long time, and finally chopped it. At noon, the second grandmother added chopped green onions and salt, mixed them with mixed noodles, and steamed a pot of cotton seed nests.

The fragrance wafted out along the steam, and Gui Ping said expectantly: "It's so fragrant, it smells delicious." The second grandmother smiled bitterly: "When you eat, you still say it's delicious." ”

When you hear it, you quickly withdraw, and you can guarantee that it won't be delicious. As a result, she really guessed correctly, Gui Ping brought over two cotton seed nests with a bowl, and said disgustedly: "My mother called me to send it, saying that I would let you taste a rarity, what a good thing, it is unpalatable to death." ”

Grandma took it: "You are still young, you don't know, this is a life-saving thing in the early famine year." ”

Yoyo tried to taste it, salty and fragrant with green onions, it's okay. After chewing twice, he immediately frowned. The pads are still a little prickly, swallowing forcefully, pulling the throat.

The comfortable life of these days has almost made you forget the embarrassment when you first wore it. The cotton seed nest reminded her and rekindled her ambition to improve the lives of her fellow villagers.

Not only the second grandmother's family planted cotton, but also the cotton in the production team began to plant. One hundred acres of spring cotton, in order to grab moisture, the big guy got up early and greedy for darkness, and planted it in two days.

I heard my grandmother say that the yield of spring cotton per mu at this time was only 100 catties. "That is, we can only pass 100 catties in our beach area, and the village outside the embankment is 70 or 80 catties. Hand it over to the state, and the rest is not enough to weave.

The public cloth requires a cloth ticket, and saving for a year is not enough for a set of clothes. There is no cotton for weaving at home, and it is difficult to dress and eat these days. ”

You vaguely remember the reports I read in later generations, the northwest cotton harvest was bumper, and the lint yield per mu reached 500 catties. It seems that he has a place to use.

With the help of Zhinao, Youyou screened high-quality cotton seeds and scientific cotton planting technology, and quickly ordered a batch of high-yield and high-quality insect-proof cotton seeds in the mall.

In the evening, tell your grandmother what you think. Fortunately, grandma blindly believes in Yoyo. Her old man was more anxious than Youyou, "And this good thing, why don't we go to the ground and change the seeds." ”

In the middle of the night, grandma accompanied Youyou, secretly released a large number of planting intelligent machines, picked out all the cotton seeds planted in the team, and re-sowed new high-quality cotton seeds.

You have to steal to do good deeds, this is laborious, and Yoyo and Grandma keep complaining. Grandma laughed at her: "You, you are a knife mouth tofu heart, a big mind at a young age who doesn't know where it comes from, you can take care of everything, everyone's heart is, and you are looking forward to everyone getting better." ”
