Chen Jianjun said with a smile: "Speaking of those, where can we be idle." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info: How do you sell this chicken?"

The boss smiled: "This is a local chicken, and most people come to buy it for two yuan a pair, but we are all old acquaintances, so I will sell you a pair of eighty-one pairs, what do you think?"

Chen Jianjun said with a smile: "They are all old acquaintances, so you still sell it so expensive, the kind of chick that my eldest brother bought is only a pair of five-day pairs!"

The boss smiled awkwardly, and then said: "That must be a different variety! A piece of five is a piece of five, and if you open a store today, you will sell it even if you don't make money." How much do you want?"

Chen Jianjun said with a smile: "Catch ten pairs for me, and raise them first." ”

The boss said: "Haole, ten pairs of chicks, a total of fifteen yuan!"

Chen Zhiping went to pay, and Chen Jianjun picked up ten fluffy chicks on his back, and the family went home. The boss is still talking there, didn't he hear that the kid of the Chen family made a fortune, and he was so calculating, really, he made three yuan less, alas!

After returning home and putting the little chicks in the chicken coop, Liu Sufen got busy, and Xia Xiaomo was also on the side with great interest, learning from her mother-in-law-to-be, everything in the countryside was so new and interesting to her.

These chicks are not easy to raise, the survival rate is very low, first to fetch water for them, and then to feed them with cornmeal mixed with green vegetable leaves, now the chicks are only a few days old, and they can't eat bran and rice and the like.

Chicks are like babies who have been eating milk since birth, and deciding to wean him is the same, it is impossible not to give him milk to drink at once, but to reduce the amount of milk drunk every day little by little, and replace it step by step with other such as porridge, rice noodles, broth and rice, etc., and when there is a process of acceptance and adaptation, the milk will be broken.

These round and fluffy little guys may have stayed in the cage of the hatchery for a long time, and they are not used to it for a while, they are all shrinking their heads and looking at this novel world in a daze, as if they have never seen the world Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.

Gradually, they grew bolder, and walked slowly like little old men, looking here and there, picking up the dirt on the ground with their paws, pecking at the insects in the grass with their beaks, and when they understood that this world was countless times better than the environment of the heaven and earth where they had lived, they were very happy, and soon they began to chirp noisily.

The chickens soon fell in love with this vast space, fresh air, free bamboo forest home, naughty and curious nature was revealed, in the huge bamboo forest, soon there was no trace of a few chickens, only a chirping sound was heard, it is estimated that they are playing in the grass.

Looking at the energetic chickens, Xia Xiaomo also felt that they were too cute. Xia Xiaomo is a little sympathetic to the chickens, after a few months, they will become chickens on the table, which is a pity.

The old couple still can't be idle, so they want to dig the fields. Chen Zhiping couldn't persuade them, so he had to follow them.

Xia Xiaomo was also very curious to go, wanting to try the feeling of digging the field, but she just took off her shoes, and as soon as she put one foot into the water, she was shivering with cold, Chen Zhiping smiled: "I said it's very cold, you still watch from the side, in case you catch a cold, I can't do it!"

Xia Xiaomo said: "Okay, I didn't expect that the work in the countryside is really not easy to do. ”

Chen Zhiping said: "Of course, otherwise why do you say that farmers are the hardest people, who knows that Chinese food is hard, that's how it comes." ”

Digging fields is also very technical, only brute force is not enough, although the old couple is old, but experienced, so digging is faster than Chen Zhiping and the two brothers.

Xia Xiaomo smiled on the ridge: "Zhiping, Zhiyuan, come on! Mom and Dad are almost a third ahead of you, and I blush for you." ”

Chen Zhiyuan dug hard, and said: "Sister-in-law, do you think this digging is easy? There are skills in this, and my parents have been working as farmers for decades, so they are naturally much more powerful than us." However, the labor is still quite fun, and it is still very good to grow a little rice for yourself in the future, but it is not too tiring. ”

Xia Xiaomo smiled: "Yes, it's okay to be idle when you sit at home all the time, so it's okay." Self-sufficient, well-fed. ”

Suddenly, Chen Zhiping threw away the hoe in his hand, grabbed the mud he had just dug out with his hand, and fished out a slender thing, Chen Zhiping said loudly: "Catch it, it's a big one!"

Xia Xiaomo was startled, thinking that there were still water snakes in this field, it was terrible, fortunately she didn't go down just now, she said worriedly: "Zhiping, don't scare me, what is that, it can't be a water snake, right?"

Liu Sufen said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Xiaomo, that's a yellow eel, this one doesn't look small, there should be more than one or two, take it back at night to make braised eel, the taste is very good, and it's very replenishing!"

Xia Xiaomo knew that she was so stupid, it turned out to be a yellow eel, but looking at the slender body of the yellow eel wrapped around Chen Zhiping's forearm, Xia Xiaomo was also a little scared.

Chen Zhiping walked to the edge of the field, then opened the plastic bag he brought before coming, put the yellow eel inside, tied it tightly with a straw rope, and said to Xia Xiaomo: "Xiaomo, this is a good thing, you take care of it, and you will definitely dig it up later." ”

In the nineties, the fields in the countryside were full of yellow eel loaches, and they could be found by digging up the field mud at will, because at this time there were few people who used electricity to beat them, and no one used medicine to poison them, and only a few people went down to the fields to pick loaches and yellow eels, and the efficiency was not high, so there were many loaches and yellow eels. Of course, at this time, the price of loach and yellow eel is not expensive, and people in the city do not like to eat it very much.

Xia Xiaomo said curiously: "Are there a lot of yellow eels in this field?

Chen Zhiping said: "Ordinary yellow eel will not bite, and it is too late to run away when it encounters people! Of course, if you catch it, it may still bite." There is also the kind of hatching yellow eel, which is very aggressive, and it is easy to be bitten if you catch it. Of course, the yellow eel is not poisonous, and the problem will not be very big, as long as you apply some disinfectant potion. ”

Xia Xiaomo said: "My mother used to buy some yellow eels from time to time, the price is more expensive than pork, but the taste is very good, how much can I catch today? ”

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "If you dig the field like this, you will definitely not be able to dig much." If you really want to eat it, let's go pick the yellow eel later. ”

Xia Xiaomo said curiously: "Pick the yellow eel, how can you pick this yellow eel? It is all hidden in the mud, how do you know where it is?"

Chen Zhiping said with a smile: "You city people, it seems that you still need to come to the countryside to see and learn." This yellow eel is also a technical job. First of all, look for the hole of the yellow eel in the field, whether it is the yellow eel loach, it has to hide under the mud, and it always has to make a hole, right? The hole that the yellow eel hits is deep, the loach is much shallower, and the hole of the yellow eel has more than one hole, and sometimes there are several exits, so it is more difficult to pick the yellow eel than the loach. Found the hole, with your fingers along the yellow eel loach hole to drill inside, generally speaking, the loach's hole is shallow, not deep to touch its head, at this time, the method of catching the loach is gentle, just like stroking, gently wrap it in the palm of the hand, and then gently take it out, generally speaking, the loach will not run. ”

Xia Xiaomo said curiously: "This loach is so stupid, why doesn't it run?"
