Chapter 174: Duck Farm (Updated Today)
The next day, not only Hu Xiaomei, but also Hu Liyun and Qin Shi didn't sleep well last night, and the three of them had a faint cyan under their eyes. One is that I slept cold at night, and then I went to a strange place, and I always woke up a little.
Qin smiled and said to the two, "...... After a few more days, I got used to it. ”
Fox Liyun went next door to call Tan, Fox Xiaomei and Qin's said a few words, cleaned themselves up, the two of them also went out of the house, closed the door, over there, Tan happened to come out, Qin and Tan said hello, Tan also smiled and said hello to Qin.
From beginning to end, Tan only glanced at Hu Xiaomei.
Fox Xiaomei still thought that now that everyone is in the same yard, it would be good if they could take care of each other in a strange place, since Tan and Fox Liyun completely wanted to pretend not to know her, she was not reluctant. It also saved her mind from having to smile at them in front of outsiders.
Fox Liyun followed behind Tan, Qin looked at Fox Xiaomei meaningfully, Fox Xiaomei smiled at Qin calmly, and the four of them walked towards the front yard with their own thoughts.
The people of the Wei Mansion generally get up at midnight, and when they arrive at the front yard, Thirteen and Yang Wu are already waiting in the yard, and after a while, the other people in the ranch also arrive in the front yard, all of them are sleepy-eyed, and they don't wake up.
Sister-in-law Qin said, "Didn't you sleep last night?" It's like they're fighting every one by one! ”
"Ouch, Sister-in-law Qin, you don't know how cold it was to sleep this night, and we didn't burn the kang." Someone immediately shouted.
"Yes, Sister-in-law Qin, why don't you let the chief steward add an extra quilt to each of us, it's really cold to sleep this night!"
Others chimed in.
Only the six newcomers who came to Hu Xiaomei were silent.
But. The six of them secretly said in their hearts that it was so cold. I thought they were the only ones who felt uncomfortable sleeping at night, but it turned out that everyone else was the same. It would be nice if these people could really get the steward to add another quilt.
Fox Xiaomei laughed secretly in her heart.
From this, it can also be seen that Sister-in-law Qin's words have a certain weight in everyone's hearts. Hu Xiaomei decided that she must have a good relationship with Sister-in-law Qin in the future.
A group of people were chattering and shouting for Sister-in-law Qin to say some good things in front of the chief steward and add more quilts for everyone, and the fox Xiaomei caught a glimpse of the second steward Wei Dashan standing at the arch.
Wei Dashan had a calm face, and he couldn't see how angry he was, but Hu Xiaomei knew that he was a little angry at this time, he coughed heavily, and everyone immediately stopped talking, and turned around and saluted him respectfully. shouted one after another: "Second steward." ”
Wei Dashan swept over the crowd with a straight face. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at his eyes, only Sister-in-law Qin bowed respectfully to Wei Dashan without being humble or arrogant: "The second steward is early!" ”
"Humph!" Wei Dashan snorted coldly, and looked at the row of people below: "Don't you have to work today?" One by one, the noisy and the pillars are still here? I think you're in good spirits! Do you want to wake up tomorrow? Now go to work on the ranch! ”
"Yes." The crowd trembled in response. I'm afraid that Wei Dashan will let everyone get up tomorrow. There was no one in the smoke.
The six of them followed everyone to the ranch.
The errands were divided yesterday. Fox Xiaomei, thirteen, Yang Wu to the duck farm. Fox Liyun, Tan and Qin go to the cattle farm.
Among the four farms of duck farm, goose farm, cattle farm and sheep farm, the work of duck farm is the most trivial, complicated, and the largest.
Ducks and geese are different from cows and sheep in that they are fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and the rest of the time they are released into the lake or on the ground to feed on their own. The two small farms are next to each other, and there is a large artificial lake in the middle, and in the middle of the lake are divided into two for ducks and geese to play in the water.
This winter day is getting colder, especially in the morning, there is a thin layer of ice on the lake, the animals do not want to go into the water, most of the time they are on the shore, only at noon, the sun is high, the ice on the lake surface melts away, and most of the ducks will go into the water in the afternoon.
Before dark, all the ducks had to be driven back to the duck shed, and those that stayed in the lake had to be driven ashore by a rowing boat. The duck shed also needs to be cleaned every day.
The other fox Xiaomei is not worried, but she doesn't know the nature of the water, and she can't row a boat, how to go to the lake to catch ducks in the future?
Thirteen told her not to worry: "When the time comes, if this work is assigned to you, I will go for you." ”
In comparison, the cattle farm that the three of them went to was much easier, there were only a few hundred cows, as long as the old cow was driven well, the calf behind would naturally follow, and there was no need to prepare food, throw some hay to the cattle pen to solve the problem. Except for the assigned cleaner of the cattle pen, all the others need to do is make sure that the cattle do not run too far or climb over the hills.
Because this farm in Weifu is a hill after a mountain, although they all belong to Weifu, but the range of cattle and sheep on each farm is delineated, if you run too far, you don't have to worry about running out of the farm, because there is a courtyard wall, mainly because the mountains are densely wooded, and it is difficult to find.
Therefore, as long as the cattle herder stares at the cattle and does not run too far, he can occasionally gather in three or two people to talk. It's really light.
Therefore, before leaving, Tan triumphantly pulled the fox fence cloud and followed the people of the cattle farm to the other side.
It was not yet dawn, a few oil lamps were hung outside the duck shed, and the others were already familiar with the way, and they each took something to work, Lancao brought the three of them to the duck shed, and before they got closer, a thick smell of duck feces came to their noses, not to mention fox Xiaomei, even Thirteen and Yang Wu frowned ugly.
Lan Cao cocked her orchid fingers, covered her nose, frowned and pointed to a large pile of duck in the shed and said: "There is a board car over there, load all this duck into the largest board car, and someone will pull it later." Move fast. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the three of them to reply, they covered their noses and hurried away without looking back.
The smell of duck feces in a shed is stinking, and Fox Xiaomei can't imagine that the smell is so bad in winter, and in summer, it is so good that people must not be smoked to death.
"Aren't you going to let us do this every day?" Yang Wu frowned and said with disgust: "I knew that I was here to do this, why did I enter the Wei Mansion for now?" After speaking, he took a few steps back, and looked like he didn't want to do it.
Fox Xiaomei looked at the thirteenth, he stood slightly, raised his feet and walked to the side, Fox Xiaomei followed and walked over, there were a few board cars outside the shed, this board car is different from the board car that Fox Dayou bought, it has baffles on all sides, and it will not easily fall off with things.
Thirteen took the lamp and shone it on the board car, and sure enough, there was an oversized board car, which was filthy and full of duck! Fox Xiaomei looked at the river and poured her stomach! She immediately covered her nose with her hand, and then she felt better.
Thirteen gave the lamp to Fox Xiaomei and pushed the largest cart out.
Yang Wu saw that Thirteen and Hu Xiaomei had already started their work, and then thought about the ultimate goal of entering the Wei Mansion, so he had to endure the stinking smell, and shoveled the duck feces to the board car with Thirteen.
Hu Xiaomei didn't have that strength, the two men of Thirteen and Yang Wu were enough, so she stood aside and stabilized the cart.
The two of them kept their hands and feet, and they didn't stop for a second in between, Yang Wumao worked hard, and he was sweating profusely in the early morning. In a quarter of an hour, a shed of duck droppings was loaded into a pallet truck. The duck droppings were packed and the shed was cleaned again.
The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lancao didn't expect the three of them to clean up all the duck droppings so quickly. I was surprised. However, she is still very satisfied with this positive attitude. Next, the three of them were arranged to work together with the others.
First of all, the duck food is prepared, everything is transported from the outside, only a few kinds of food need to be mixed together every day, thousands of ducks just need an hour with this food, and then the food is poured into the food trough.
Hundreds of ducks quacked in the duck shed, carrying large buckets, into the duck shed to pour food, the sound alone can make people dizzy.
Hu Xiaomei had never done this kind of work in her previous life, and she was always a little uncomfortable for the first time, especially the unpleasant smell, which almost made her want to vomit. Thinking about next summer, this task is really a long way to go!
It's not one summer, it's three summers!
In addition to the three newcomers of Hu Xiaomei, Lancao is the manager of the duck farm, and there are six people, three men and three women, a total of ten people now.
After feeding the food, clean the duck farm, and check again whether the place is blocked tightly, so that the ducks do not run out without knowing it. After doing this, start breakfast. After breakfast, the duck shed is opened and all the ducks are allowed to roam freely.
At this time, it is necessary to be busy cleaning the duck shed.
"On the first day you came, the three of you will clean this duck shed today." In Fox Xiaomei's expectation, Vanilla handed over the job of cleaning the duck shed to the three of them.
"Now we have added three new people, so starting tomorrow, every group of three will clean the duck shed, and one group will be one day."
That is to say, except for Vanilla, the remaining nine people are divided into three groups, and each group cleans for one day. But today's fox Xiaomei and the three of them don't count, they have to start tomorrow.
Everyone else is very happy, the three of them have been cleaning for two days in a row, so they can clean one day less, the duck shed is smelly and dirty, who wants to go!
No, the three of them resigned themselves to cleaning the duck shed, and Yang Wu muttered while cleaning.
And the others found a place to put the ducks!
Because the duck shed is cleaned every day, it is not very dirty, but the duck shed is very long to build, and it is also time-consuming to clean one place after another. After cleaning the duck shed, Mariso found vanilla again.
Vanilla was sitting in the resting room in the duck farm, drinking hot water and munching melon seeds.
Fox Xiaomei resisted the urge to complain and reported to Vanilla: "...... Sister vanilla, clean it all. ”
Vanilla smiled and nodded, very satisfied, if they worked at such a speed, she would not have to do the work of the duck farm in the future. It's a pity that the stewards come over often.
Vanilla's eyes turned, and her attention shifted to the three fox Xiaomei in front of her.
Yang Wu and Thirteen are about the same size, and both of them are wearing the clothes of Weifu's subordinates, but Yang Wu's skin is slightly whiter, and his eyebrows and eyes are straight; And Thirteen's skin is slightly darker, and his facial features are more angular, but it is precisely because of this that it adds a bit of masculine charm and makes people feel good. In this way, the fox Xiaomei who stood with Thirteen was a little dazzling! (To be continued.) )
