Chapter 163: The Dog Takes the Mouse, the Parrot Catches the Snake
Li Yuan's method proved to be very effective, and under the keen sense of smell of soybeans and black beans, any rat or weasel hiding in the hole would have nothing to hide.
After discovering the rat hole, the black bean and the soybean will work together, one will dig the rat hole hard, and the other will wait by the side, launching a lightning attack whenever the rat comes out.
The two beans worked together very tacitly, and it didn't take long to destroy several rat holes and kill more than a dozen large and small voles.
And while the soybeans and black beans were trying to catch rats, the gray beans were not idle. It stopped in a nearby tree, staring closely below. When several voles emerge from a rat hole at the same time, and the soybeans and black beans are too busy, the gray beans will attack from the air.
It stands to reason that parrots are birds with plants as their main food, and at most they occasionally eat insects to supplement protein, and there is no threat to mice at all - in fact, some large rats will also threaten the safety of parrots, often stealing parrot eggs and even biting the chicks to death.
However, the gray bean, which often lives in the peach pit space, is obviously an outlier among parrots. It is not afraid of voles at all, but can launch deadly attacks from the air like an eagle.
In fact, Gray Bean doesn't need to use its sharp and powerful curved beak at all, as long as it grabs it with its powerful claws, it can kill the vole instantly. Although gray beans do not eliminate as many voles as soybeans and black beans, they completely eliminate the storage of fish that slip through the net. As long as it is a mouse that is dug up, none of them can escape the pursuit of three beans.
Originally, Chen Wenchuan was quite unimpressed with Li Yuan's use of dogs to kill rats, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said convincingly: "Xiao Li, I can be regarded as convinced of you." I've lived for decades, and it's the first time I've ever seen a rat exterminated in this way! ”
Li Yuan smiled: "What is effective and can save money is a good way, right?" ”
"That's right!" Chen Wenchuan completely agreed with Li Yuan's statement, and then said to him: "You can keep an eye on the matter of exterminating rats, and I'll go and see the situation of your small building." That's where you're going to live in the future, don't be careless! ”
After Chen Wenchuan finished speaking, he left, leaving only Li Yuan with his pets to continue to exterminate rats.
Twenty acres is not a small area. It took three beans a long day to clean up the entire fence. Chen Wenchuan was right before, there are really a lot of voles in this field. Li Yuan gathered all the dead rats and actually filled a bucket full of water.
In addition to a large number of voles. Three weasels were also found in Soybeans and Black Beans. For the sake of this animal and the natural predator of voles, Li Yuan asked the dog to let them go, just rush to the outside of the fence.
But even so, the three weasels were scared and urinated, and it seems that they have lifelong psychological trauma. I will never dare to go near the fence again.
At the end of the day's rodent eradication activity, Gray Bean once again made a great achievement - it caught a large grass snake more than a meter long in the grass!
It stands to reason that such a large snake is definitely a natural enemy of birds, and it is considered lucky not to take the initiative to attack the gray bean. However, this time the situation was reversed, and it was Gray Bean who took the initiative to attack the snake.
Although the snake has already taken an offensive stance, it has no power to fight back in front of Gray Bean. The gray parrot just pecked the snake like lightning, and the unlucky guy was bitten off his neck bone and turned over on the spot.
Li Yuan, who saw this scene, was also taken aback, he didn't expect the bite force of the gray bean to be so strong. This made him think to himself, if Gray Bean took a bite of someone's finger like this, maybe he could bite it off on the spot.
Gray Bean is also very satisfied with his results. threw the great god who was still writhing slightly at Li Yuan's feet, and looked at his master triumphantly, as if waiting for Li Yuan's praise.
The boss of the engineering team came to Li Yuan to discuss something, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at the gray bean in surprise and said: "Boss Li, the pigeons you raise are so amazing, you can still catch snakes!" ”
At this moment, Gray Bean was immediately unhappy, flapping his wings and hovering above the head of the boss of the engineering team, while protesting loudly: "You are the pigeon, you are the pigeon!" ”
"I'll go. The pigeon can also talk! The boss of the engineering team was even more surprised, and couldn't help but say loudly to Li Yuan: "Boss Li, how did you train?" ”
Seeing that the stupid human being below was completely unreasonable, Gray Bean didn't bother to talk to him anymore. He screamed in dissatisfaction, flapped his wings and flew away.
"Foolishness." Li Yuan smiled modestly, and then asked the boss of the engineering team: "Lao Zhang, is there something wrong with me?" ”
Only then did the other party remember that he was looking for Li Yuan, so he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Village Chief Chen told me." The voles in the fence can be removed in two days. So I'm going to start building the chicken coop tomorrow and at the same time clean up the weeds in the fence, what do you think? ”
Li Yuan nodded and said: "I have no opinion, I just hope that you can try to hurry up the construction period and ensure the quality of the project." ”
The boss of the engineering team hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's not the first time we've worked together, when did you ever be dissatisfied?" ”
Li Yuan smiled: "I just trust you Lao Zhang, so I am looking for you this time." As long as the cooperation is pleasant, all infrastructure projects in the future will be yours. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yuan remembered one thing, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, if you start building a chicken coop tomorrow, when do you think the entire chicken farm will be delivered?" ”
The boss of the engineering team calculated in his heart, and then said to Li Yuan: "As long as the weather helps, there will be another ten days." ”
"That's it......" Li Yuan nodded and said, "It seems that I'm going to start buying breeders!" ”
Li Yuan has always been a man of action, and after knowing that the chicken farm would soon be delivered, he immediately began to get busy with the purchase of breeding chickens. Early the next morning, Li Yuan went to Sanling Town, on the western outskirts of the city, to buy breeding chickens.
Sanling Town is located in the west of Wuxi City, which is already a hilly terrain, and there are three not high peaks within the jurisdiction of the town, hence the name of Sanling Town.
Compared with the southeast, which is basically dominated by the terrain of plain water towns, the economic situation of Sanling Town is slightly worse. Especially in rural areas, where there is not much land to grow, more farmers take advantage of the hilly terrain to start farming.
The black chai chicken is a specialty here, and it is very popular in the entire surrounding area of Wuxi City, known as "the first chicken in Wuxi". Moreover, this kind of chicken is not only delicious, but also the eggs produced are also favored by consumers. "Sanling Chai Eggs" is very famous in the whole province, and even exported to Shencheng and several nearby provinces.
Li Yuan originally thought that since Heichai chicken was so popular, there must be a lot of breeding in Sanling Town, and he should be able to buy breeding chickens easily. However, what he didn't expect was that the reality was exactly the opposite. (To be continued.) )
PS: That...... It's just two shifts today, don't wait, huh.
