Chapter 13 Buying Chicks
"Let's try it, I'm going to plant it in the two greenhouses I built first. If it really works, then the whole village will promote it. I'm afraid that if I let the people in the village go to the city, no one will go back? Wang Yong said proudly.
Immediately slapped lightly on the head by the second master, the second master looked at Wang Yong, who was pretending to be aggrieved, and said: "Don't say that you don't need it, it's not too late to talk about it when you really plant it. ”
Wang Yong could only smile bitterly and nodded, with the second master, he couldn't refute it at this time. Wang Yong's appointment as the village chief was decided in the conversation of several people, and if there was no accident, after seven days of publicity, Wang Yong would officially become the village head of Banshan Village.
Wang Dahai suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Wang Yong: "I have already inquired about the chicken seedlings, and tomorrow when there is nothing to do, I will take you to buy the chicken seedlings back." ”
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, buy chicken seedlings? No, although you raise free-range chickens, you have to build a chicken house so that the chickens have a place to spend the night and shelter from the wind and rain! This chicken house has not yet been seen, how can you buy the chicks back? Where can I put this back? So he hurriedly asked: "Uncle, this chicken house has not been built yet, why do you have to buy chicken seedlings." ”
Looking at Wang Yong's puzzled eyes, Wang Dahai smiled slightly, and said a little smugly: "When you think of building a chicken house, it will be spring sooner or later." ”
Seeing Wang Yong's puzzled look, the kind-hearted aunt hurriedly explained: "The day after your uncle repaired the old mansion for you, he sent a wave of people to build one for you, and it was completed two days ago." It's not inhabitable, it's simple. In addition, the group of people who built the greenhouse have already built the workshop, and they can live in the kang after burning it. ”
Hearing the aunt's explanation, Wang Yong realized that before he knew it, the uncle had done a good job in logistics. looked at the uncle gratefully and wanted to say two words of thanks, but he couldn't say a word when it came to his mouth. Suddenly remembering something, he immediately ran back to the house and quickly came out with a handbag. Put the handbag on the table and said to the uncle: "Uncle, this is 100,000 yuan, you use it first, it's not enough for me to go to the bank tomorrow to get some more." ”
Wang Yong's move immediately suppressed the uncle and aunt, they didn't expect that Wang Yong, who had been working outside for only a few years, could come up with such a large amount of money. You must know that Wang Yong paid an advance payment of 60,000 yuan to the group of people who built the greenhouse a few days ago. Is this money really so easy to make out there? Is it any wonder that everyone is scrambling to get to the city? However, Lao Kouzi didn't think that this would ask for Wang Yong's money, so he excused himself. The scene was at an impasse, and the three of them all looked at the second master who didn't squeak
"Okay, the eldest daughter-in-law will put the money away. That's all for today. Tomorrow, the sea will take Wang Yong to buy chicken seedlings, and I will go to the old house to keep an eye on it. After the second master finished speaking, he got up and walked out. The three of them hurriedly got up and sent the second master out of the door.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Wang Yong was woken up by his aunt and ate some rice porridge with pickles made by his aunt, and drove to the farm to buy chicken seedlings with Wang Dahai, who couldn't wait. On the way, Wang Dahai told Wang Yong about the chicken seedlings. The land where the chicken seedlings were bought was opened by a friend of the uncle, called Hongxing Farm, and the boss was called Li Hongxing, who used to do engineering like the uncle. Later, for some reasons, I didn't want to run outside all the time, leaving my wife and children at home. So the construction team was disbanded and a chicken farm was built. After the disbandment of the engineering team, many people were introduced to the uncle by Li Hongxing, and it has been more than ten years. At the beginning, Li Hongxing's farm was built by the uncle, and the two have not broken contact for so many years. Wang Yong can see that the relationship between the two is very close, so they should be very chatty. In this life, it is not easy to have a few friends who can talk to and experience together.
To say that this road is really not far, I drove for less than an hour, and under the guidance of the uncle, I arrived at the Red Star Farm located in the south of Longcheng Town, Longcheng County. The farm is close to the road, the traffic is convenient, and the environment is also good. There was a field of corn around, but now it was clear that the harvest had been completed, and only piles of straw were left in the field. In the distance, it is only ten miles away from the county seat, and you can clearly see the buildings in the county seat. In the shade of apple trees, which are about two acres old, a house made of red bricks comes into view, and a concrete road leads to the gate of the farm. When Wang Yong came to the gate, an old man in his fifties was already waiting at the door, and the uncle didn't wait for the car to stop, so he pushed the car door, so frightened that Wang Yong hurriedly stopped the car, and saw that his seat was not in the way, so he simply turned off the engine and stopped here, and then walked to the two people who had already talked.
Wang Dahai saw Wang Yong coming over, and introduced like Li Hongxing: "This is my nephew Wang Yong, who told you. Wang Yong, this is your Uncle Li. ”
"Hello Uncle Li." Wang Yong said hello to Li Hongxing in a proper manner. However, Li Hongxing is very enthusiastic about Wang Yong, and there is no strangeness to meeting for the first time. affectionately pulled Wang Dahai and Wang Yong inside. A group of three people came to Li Hongxing's company in the farm, and sat down at one time. Li Hongxing made a cup of tea for everyone, and then said to Wang Dahai: "Let's drink some water first, and take you to see the chicken seedlings in a while, and eat at my place at noon, your brother and sister know that you are coming, so they rushed to the market early in the morning to sell vegetables and cut meat." ”
"I won't eat the meal, you will find a car in a while, and we will go back after pulling the chicken, and we will have a good drink when we have time, okay?" Wang Dahai hurriedly said.
When Li Hongxing heard Wang Dahai say this, he immediately became anxious: "Then how can I do it, I don't miss that little bit of eating effort." Listen to me, and eat here. Girl, girl? Li Hongxing shouted.
"Hey! Come on? A crisp girl's voice came from outside. Then there was the sound of footsteps, the curtain of the door was raised, and a girl walked in. The girl looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing the school uniform of Longcheng No. 1 Middle School. There was a happy smile on the pale face. The long black hair with a shawl was firmly bound by a red headband, tied into a ponytail and hit diagonally on the right shoulder, giving the girl a touch of playfulness. However, the girl's face was a little unhealthily pale, and Wang Yong didn't care, who didn't have a minor illness or disaster. As soon as the girl came in, she saw Wang Dahai, and a heartfelt smile immediately appeared on her face, and she ran to Wang Dahai happily: "Uncle, are you here?" I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come? ”
Wang Dahai rubbed the girl's hair with a doting smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's such a big girl, and you are still coquettish with your uncle, and you are not ashamed, and you are not afraid of people's jokes?" But Xiaoxia is getting more and more beautiful as she grows, and I don't know if that bastard boy will be cheaper in the future, and she will be able to marry us Xiaoxia home. ”
"Uncle." Xiaoxia blushed embarrassedly.
"Xiaoxia, that's your brother Wang Yong, I don't know how to say hello, such an adult is so rude." Li Hongxing said angrily, but the smile on his face had already betrayed him. For his daughter, it really hurts to the bones, and for this reason, the eldest son is not less jealous, and even the old woman has said that I don't know how many times. His daughter knows that no matter how much she spoils her, she won't become bad. Who doesn't know that our Lao Li has raised a good girl, with a good heart, good study, and filial piety, what can you do if such a girl is not spoiled? It's not like his eldest brother knows how to be naughty.
"Brother Wang is good!" Xiaoxia said hello to Wang Yong generously. He asked Wang Yong again, "Is your brother Wang Liang?" ”
Wang Yong, who asked this, was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "Yes, my younger brother's name is Wang Liang, and he is in the third year of high school in No. 1 Middle School?" Do you know each other? Hearing Wang Yong's question, Wang Dahai and Li Hongxing also stared at Xiaoxia, waiting for his answer.
Xiaoxia was quite generous and admitted directly: "I know, is he a celebrity in our school?" Who doesn't know. Outstanding students in the first high school, the top three in each exam. Besides, my aunt specially took me to meet him and asked him to take care of me more. Is there anything strange about it? ”
Hearing Xiaoxia say this, Wang Yong saw that Li Hongxing obviously didn't react, and said directly: "Xiaoxia called your mother and asked her to come back and cook quickly, your uncle and they have something to do in the afternoon."
"Oh, got it. Uncle, Brother Wang, you are going to call me. The little girl walked briskly outside to make a call.
The three of them began to talk about the chicks. Li Hongxing first told Wang Yong the essentials of picking chicken seedlings: "Picking chickens is not to pick the fattest or strongest, but to pick the most energetic." Of course, if a chicken has all three, it is the best seedling to raise......" Li Hongxing first introduced Wang Yong to the breed of chickens he raised. Broiler chickenHe is mainly Beijing oil chicken, produced in the suburbs of Beijing, famous for its delicate meat and fragrant chicken flavor. The laying hen is the Beijing white chicken, which has the characteristics of small size, less material consumption, more egg production, strong adaptability, and genetic stability. In addition, there are some chicken breeds introduced from other places and abroad, but Li Hongxing suggested that Wang Yong raise some local chicken breeds first, on the one hand, Wang Yong has no jishu, once there is a problem, he may lose all his money. The adaptability of local chickens is much stronger than that of foreign or imported chickens, and it is relatively easy to raise. On the other hand, the profitability of local chickens is no worse than that of others, and people are more willing to choose local chickens in the local area. It's also a little easier to sell.
Li Hongxing also told Wang Yong about some common problems and solutions in raising chickens, as well as some problems that need special attention. During this period, Li Hongxing's daughter-in-law, Sun Qin, a simple rural woman in her fifties, came back from the market, went into the house to say hello, and hurried to the kitchen to prepare lunch. The three of them drank tea and chatted, most of them were Wang Dahai and Li Hongxing, and Wang Yong occasionally interjected. Just when Wang Yong was starting to feel bored, Xiaoxia came in and comrades had dinner.
After a hearty meal, Li Hongxing took Wang Dahai and his wife to the hatchery of the farm, where several workers were busy catching chickens. In the field, groups of chickens look very lively, running and jumping, giving a lot of trouble to several workers who catch chickens. These chicks are all brightly colored, with powerful legs and feet, big eyes, and loud cries, and even Wang Yong, a layman, can see that they are quite haode chicks.
According to what was said in advance, Wang Yong bought 1,000 laying hens and 500 broilers. In addition, I was afraid that the chicks would not be suitable for free-range breeding, so I specially bought fifty old hens and ten big roosters. The old hen and the big rooster were raised by Li Hongxing in the orchard, and I believe that with the care and protection of these seniors, the chicks will definitely adapt to the environment better and faster, and grow up quickly. Fifteen hundred chickens, relying on a few workers to catch them themselves, but it took some time to catch them, so the three who were idle and had nothing to do went in to help catch the chickens. After a while, Sun Qin and Xiaoxia also came over to help. Don't look at the chickens just a few days after they are born, but it is really not easy for inexperienced people to catch them without harming them. However, after Wang Yong fused Xiao Shijie, his physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people, and he quickly mastered the skills of catching chickens, and after a while, he became the main force in a group of people.
Just when everyone was busy catching chickens, no one noticed that Xiaoxia, who had just caught chickens with everyone, was holding on to the wall and panting, her body kept shaking, as if she was about to fall, and her face was blushing badly. Wang Yong, who had just sent a chicken into the cage, was about to catch the next chicken when he noticed Xiaoxia's abnormal appearance, hurried over quickly, and helped Xiaoxia.
"What's wrong? You okay? Wang Yong asked this cute little girl he had just met with concern. Xiaoxia just shook her head, as if she couldn't even speak. Seeing this situation, Wang Yong hurriedly called Li Hongxing over. Hearing Wang Yong's shout, everyone realized that Xiaoxia's condition was not good. They all hurriedly ran over, and Sun Qin hugged Xiaoxia and burst into tears. Li Hongxing took his daughter from his wife and ran into the house. Wang Yong followed Wang Dahai to the house to see if he could help? It seems that Xiaoxia is sick? Wang Yong learned the reason for the incident from a worker. It turned out that Xiaoxia actually suffered from a disease called Eisenmenger syndrome, which is said to be a type of congenital heart disease. There is currently no effective treatment for this disease, and it is said that if surgery is done, it will die faster. Therefore, surgery is a contraindication to the treatment of the disease, but there is no other effective treatment, so it can only be controlled by long-term drug treatment like chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, but the life expectancy of ordinary patients is about thirty or forty years old.
Wang Yong looked at the painful Xiaoxia, and felt very uncomfortable for the sister he just met today, looking at her painful appearance.
"Xiaoguang, do you have any good ways to deal with this and that disease?" Wang Yong asked Xiaoguang.
"On my previous planet, there were dozens of ways to cure this disease, but with the current level of science and technology on Earth, there was no good way to do it for at least fifty years." Xiaoguang's answer made Wang Yong's heart very heavy.
