Chapter 72: The Hen
As soon as he arrived in the village, the guy called a lively ah, there were cows and sheep everywhere, as if he had arrived at the zoo, in addition, there were a lot of plastic baskets on several carts, and he didn't need to look at it, Canghai knew that the basket was filled with chickens and geese bought by the villagers.
"Haiwazi, you have to wait, when all the families are finished, the rest will be all yours" Hu Shijie was flipping through his notebook at this time, with a pencil in his ear.
Canghai snorted, then walked to the side and squatted down next to the third uncle.
"Third uncle, why did you go for so long and only come back in three or four days?" asked Cang Hai.
Cang Shiyuan said: "Everyone bought a lot this year, and we bought half of the chicks in the market town, and the dealers who sold the chicken seedlings had to go back and transport a batch to make up the number, and the little cattle you wanted, Uncle Hu picked no less than two hundred heads to pick a good one for you, three breeding bulls, and the remaining dozen or so are cows, one by one, and a few cows have calves......."
"Is anyone from Li Lida's family here?" Hu Shijie shouted at the top of his voice.
"Someone, someone!" Li Lida immediately stood up when he heard this.
"One hundred and fifty chickens, forty males, and the rest of the whole female, who have become a family, count the chicks for Rieter......" Hu Shijie immediately said loudly when he saw Li Lida coming.
Before Hu Shijie's words fell, a plastic basket was put on the ground, and Li Licheng's mother-in-law, Qiu Shanghua, counted the chickens from the basket on the car, and opened it to take a look at each one, and put it in the basket when she saw that it was a male.
Seeing Qiu Shanghua's movements, Canghai couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect Grandma Li to have this craft."
"If it weren't for farming, with this skill, your grandmother Li would be able to earn four or five thousand yuan a month when she went out," Cang Shiyuan said with a smile.
Hua Hai nodded when he heard this, he knew that it was quite expensive to distinguish the gender of the chick, but it was just such an opportunity to make money once or twice a year in his hometown, which could not be regarded as a profession.
Cang Shiyuan looked at a herd of cattle tied to the tree, and asked his nephew, "Haiwazi, how are you going to raise this cow?"
Canghai said: "Wait until tomorrow I will directly put it on the land I rented, and then throw the salt stone over."
"You don't care?" asked Cang Shiyuan.
Canghai asked rhetorically: "There are still people who can't make it, it's not easy for us to steal cattle out of this place, right?"
Being asked by Cang Hai, Cang Shiyuan thought about it for a while, there are loess slopes on all sides, and the only thing that can lead to the outside is the west and north, and the village in the north is a place that cannot be bypassed, and the west side is the place where the Tubizhan company is located, and the foreign boss heard that it is a friend of his nephew, and he said that the lead cow has passed from there, and he is not from the village, and the fool also knows that the cow was stolen. On the remaining two sides, twenty miles away, there is a large deep ravine and steep slope, where thousands of years have been hit by rain, and people are accidentally broken bones, let alone cattle.
"Can you leave it alone?" Cang Shiyuan was still a little uneasy, feeling that his nephew's idea was a bit surprising, so many cows, adding up to tens of thousands of yuan, and now throwing them into the ravine like this, leaving them to fend for themselves?
Canghai said: "Buy these first this year and try them, if it doesn't work, then say another, if it's okay, buy some next year."
According to Canghai's idea, if he can't raise a dozen cows this year, it will be a failure, and he will talk about next year next year.
Cang Shiyuan thought for a while, but closed his mouth and smoked a cigarette in a sullen voice.
At this time, Cang Shiyuan also wondered in his heart: Is my family also repairing the old kiln? If you have nothing to do, go back to the old kiln to raise some chickens and ducks or something?
The town can naturally raise chickens, but even if there is a yard, the number of chickens can not be large, if it is big, the yard will stink, where to live under the people, but this side is different, in the morning put the chickens out, sprinkle some millet and corn or something, there is no smell or not. Besides, looking at the current appearance of the village, it seems that the environment is better than the town. Although there are street trees in the town, they are not as comfortable as living in the village.
In the past, when everyone lived in the kiln, they looked at other families who lived in big tile houses, and they were envious in their hearts, but when they really lived in the big tile houses in the town, they knew that the thing was hot in summer and cold in winter, and there was no way to compare with the earthen kiln. In the past, the village wanted water without water, and it was not worth staying if there was no field, but now the village has built its own water tower, and when it is wrung out, it is all the well water of the sweet spring, and there is no chlorine smell of the town's tap water at all, and it is sweet to drink in the mouth.
Besides, living in the town is nothing more than doing a small business, but the village now feels much more fulfilling than living in the town, although the money is still less now, but you don't have to live permanently, it's okay to come over or let the mother-in-law stay here to feed a chicken and plant a tree or something, it's also an income.
Canghai didn't know what his third uncle was thinking about, he was now looking at the crowd of chickens.
Chicks have to be counted by hand, although the speed of autumn flowers is fast, but the number is large, each family is one or two hundred, and there are more than a thousand together, where can I count it for a while. When it comes to Canghai, naturally there is no need to count, and the remaining plastic baskets are all Canghai's.
With the help of the villagers, Canghai transported a few baskets of chickens and some goose seedlings home, Canghai was not ready to put the chickens in the house, but directly put them in the chicken coop, and set up a large light bulb with heat in the chicken coop.
Of course, the little goose and everything are mixed together, and Canghai doesn't bother that god.
Compared with chickens, sheep are much better, there are two or three kinds of sheep in this batch, and Canghai chose Boer goats here, which are the kind of sheep with brown faces and white bodies, which are very good meat sheep.
As soon as the sheep are divided, the remaining cattle belong to the Canghai family, so they drove the cattle and sheep home, and after adding material to the cattle and sheep, the sky began to darken.
………………………………
The next morning, Canghai got up and washed up, and first came to the chicken coop to see his geese and chickens.
When I arrived at the chicken coop, I found that a group of hens at home were walking in front of the chicken coop with a group of fluffy chicks and gosling, and each hen was surrounded by a group of chicks, and the chicks saw the sea as soon as they immediately gathered around the hens, and kept chirping, and the hens looked at the sea with a wary face, as if they were afraid that the sea would rob their children, even if these children were not hatched by themselves.
The situation is good, Canghai is satisfied with the millet soaked in the basin in his hand and sprinkles it into the chicken coop.
As soon as they saw that there was food, a group of chicks immediately became happy and began to peck at it.
At this time, two big roosters also ran over, apparently ready to snatch food from the mouth of the chick, and one of the hens saw that the rooster actually grabbed the food on the head of her child, and immediately became furious, stretched her neck and pounced on the rooster who came to her side to grab food.
The rooster was startled all of a sudden, flapped his wings and immediately ran away, but unfortunately the hen guarding the cub did not stop, but chased the rooster and pecked, and immediately the coop sounded the sound of flapping wings.
The domineering spirit of this hen seems to have affected the other hens, and one by one they have followed suit, and suddenly the two roosters in the chicken coop fell into a situation of being beaten.
In the end, the two roosters had no choice, flapped their wings and flew to the wall of the chicken coop, standing on the wall and looking at a few groups of hens with chicks leisurely enjoying millet grains, from time to time let out a few dissatisfied clucking sounds, flapping their wings twice.
When Canghai saw it, he said in his heart: Why is it that the situation of yin and yang decline in the whole country has continued to the chickens?
Glancing at the two useless big roosters, Canghai scolded: "Things that are useless for birds, I will kill you in a few days and fight the side stove, and I have grown such a big man in vain."
Canghai left behind are breeding chickens, last year's group of the largest rooster and hen, now seeing that the roosters he left behind can't even deal with the hens, I feel that these two chickens are used to sacrifice their own five internal organs Temple It seems that even the hens can't beat it, how can they expect them to protect the chickens in the future?
The chickens are all right, the cows and the sheep are not bad, there are too many sheep, and the sheep can't live, so they have to mix with the cattle and throw them in the small orchard of Canghai's family, as for a few little piglets, they are naturally lazily lying in the pigsty, and even Canghai is not interested in taking a look at it.
Preparing to drive the sheep down the slope to graze, Canghai looked up and found that it was just dawning, and the whole slope was full of sheep, which continued to a mile away, and it was obvious that the villagers got up earlier than Canghai, and they had already pointed out the best position for grazing sheep.
"That's good!"
Canghai scratched his head, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know what to say, what could he do if he got up later than others?
After thinking about it for a while, Cang Hai's heart was crossed, and he decided to throw his sheep and cattle to rent his own land, anyway, there are no natural enemies there, just go and see it in a few days.
Thinking of this, he turned around and went to the third aunt's house for breakfast, and after breakfast, he didn't rest and directly prepared that the guy wanted to drive the cattle and sheep to Fenghuanggou.
Canghai prepared to cut two bamboo poles in the small bamboo forest at the bottom of the slope, and tied a plastic sheet at the end of the bamboo pole, so that the simple two poles for driving sheep were ready.
In addition to the pole, Canghai also brought a few pieces of rock ore, and those who have raised sheep know that livestock also need to replenish salt from time to time, and if they don't eat salt, they will be as weak as people. Like Hu Shijie, several households are buying coarse salt, and Canghai is ready to stock, so they buy large pieces of salt mines, which are cheap and take a long time, unlike coarse salt particles, which are small and fast.
After finding a few bags, making a simple chain, and placing them on the backs of the two cows, Canghai prepared to drive the sheep and cattle to Fenghuanggou.
