After returning from delivering wine in the afternoon, Liu Rui began to work in the kitchen.

Today is Friday, Liu Zhi and Tongtong are coming back from school, in order to add food to the two little guys, Liu Rui naturally has to prepare some good dishes.

I caught a small rooster from the backyard to make a stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, and then bought two river fish on the way back from delivering wine, picked up fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden, and a table of farmhouse home-cooked dishes with all colors and flavors was freshly baked.

The new brewery in the backyard has basically been built, and after the flooring and simple renovations have been laid, the brewing boiler can be installed and ready for production. Seeing that the core industry of the family is about to make greater discoveries, everyone in the Liu family has a smile of joy on their faces in the past two days.

Liu Jiahong walked back and forth in the backyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the new wine shop standing in the backyard, Liu Jiahong's heart was constantly churning. After his injury, doctors once asserted that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, which made him lose confidence in the future.

But with the miraculous healing of his legs, life seems to have changed dramatically, and things that seemed impossible to achieve before have easily happened. When he was struggling in a wheelchair, Liu Jiahong would never have imagined that his family had undergone earth-shaking changes in just ten months. The growth of his son Liu Rui was unexpected by Liu Jiahong, so he gradually let go and let his son become a family.

Just when Liu Jiahong was thinking a lot in the backyard, Zhang Guizhi was holding a bowl of corn to feed the chickens and ducks, and the noisy front yard and the quiet backyard formed a stark contrast, but they also complemented each other.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, there was no need to be greeted at all, and the free-range chickens and ducks at home came out from all corners and waited in the yard with chirp. After eating in the morning, these chickens and ducks went into the woods and grass around the compound one after another, enjoying the cool and foraging for food, but it was also very leisurely.

Hundreds of chickens and ducks were chirping or croaking in the yard, and the entire Liu family compound was covered by this vibrant sound.

People often say that one woman is equal to five hundred ducks.

Now hundreds of chickens and ducks in the yard are calling vigorously, which does create a lot of noise, but to Zhang Guizhi's ears, it is like a heavenly sound.

In previous years, the Liu family also fed chickens and ducks, but none of them were as surprising as this year!

Others may think that the rural areas are spacious, and the grasslands, forests, and streams can provide sufficient drinking water and food for chickens and ducks, and are the most suitable for large-scale breeding. As everyone knows, large-scale appearance is actually a prohibitive forbidden area in rural areas with relatively high technical level.

As the saying goes, a lot of money is worth a lot, but it doesn't count with hair!

In the past, when the Liu family raised chickens and ducks, all kinds of accidents and diseases would appear one after another, so that the chickens and ducks at home would undergo a lot of tests, and finally they could grow up in fact.

Chicks and ducklings are most afraid of mice, a few years ago when the rats of the Liu family were rampant, almost every night there will be chicks and ducklings taken away by mice, and their fur and blood stains can be found in the yard in the morning. In the past, in order to fight against these rampant rats, the Liu family can be said to have tried everything they can think of.

In the evening, the chicks and ducklings are put into a tightly sealed iron cage, so that the rats can only watch but not eat, which is also a good way. But as time went on, the rats became more and more rampant, and they dared to rush out in broad daylight and take the poor chicks and ducklings away.

Although it is a racking of brains, the Liu family's annual loss of chicks and ducks is basically more than 10%, and it is unavoidable no matter what.

When the birds are a little older, there are still countless dangers waiting for these small birds that have no power to protect themselves between the grass and trees. Weasels, poisonous snakes, goshawks and even puddles, caves, etc., can become a factor in the death of poultry, which can be described as a dangerous situation. In this way, if a chicken wants to grow to a situation where it can be slaughtered, it almost has to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, just like Tang Seng learning from the scriptures.

However, even so, it is not so easy for the poultry raised by the farmers to be converted into money, because you don't know when you will encounter a plague that will turn half a year's hard work into water overnight.

The combination of various factors determines that large-scale poultry farming in rural areas is not an easy task, and the high investment and high risk make farmers more conservative approach. Most farmers raise some poultry and let them fend for themselves in the yard, and do not regard poultry raising as the backbone of the family.

In the past, the Liu family was the same, raising some chickens and ducks to lay eggs to eat, and waiting until the Chinese New Year to save energy and not have to go to the street to buy ducks, even if it was successfully raised that year.

However, in the past few months, the chickens and ducks raised at home have been developing in an astonishing situation, which is completely unexpected by Zhang Guizhi. Not only did the chicks hatched in the second half of the year grow up without landing on the ground, but they thrive in the flock, and none of the chicks that Liu Rui bought back from the county town died, which is a miracle.

The reason for this is that there is an extra little cat and a yellow-throated marten in the house, and the rats that used to operate unscrupulously in the backyard have disappeared all at once. Without the scourge of rats, the chickens and ducklings can naturally live unharmed without worry.

However, to Zhang Guizhi's surprise, not a single poultry died of illness this year, and all the poultry were extremely healthy. In previous years, one or two poultry would die of the disease, and sometimes even the plague would spread, and all the poultry in the family would not be spared. However, this year, there is not even a single poultry with dysentery!

What is the reason for this? Zhang Guizhi and Liu Jiahong were puzzled, but they vaguely felt that these situations were somewhat related to the changes in the compound this year.

However, the real secret is only known to Liu Rui, and no matter how others guess, they can't imagine that all this is brought by the magical space spring.

It is precisely because of the moisture of the space spring water that the immunity and resistance of these poultry have been greatly enhanced, so that they will not be easily disturbed by diseases and can grow intact, creating the grand occasion in front of Zhang Guizhi.

Hundreds of healthy and lively poultry are circling around Zhang Guizhi, and there are a few pheasants with beautiful feathers in between, and the scene is quite lively. In addition, a flock of colorful birds also chirped and mingled, making the whole scene even more noisy and surprising. These birds are accustomed to eating in the yard every morning and evening, and they have become a part of the Liu family's compound.

Although it was just an ordinary evening, in the sound of these poultry and birds, the Liu family compound was still full of vitality and enviable!
