Some people may feel that this is cruel to the rooster, but only those who really raise chickens will know that if the rooster is not castrated, the loss will be relatively large, and it will cause a lot of trouble. Even in the countryside, chickens are not specially raised and sold, and there are not many roosters left, and one or two are enough for each family.

Roosters are aggressive and active before castration, and tend to consume the feed they feed them quickly, resulting in high costs and poor meat quality. Castrated chickens will have a great change in temperament, become gentle, do not think about it, and concentrate on growing meat, and the meat is delicious. Moreover, it is even possible to take care of the chicks instead of the hens.

In addition, roosters will often make trouble because they are aggressive and aggressive. However, the farmer needs the rooster to transfer sperm to the hen, so the rooster cannot be allowed to go extinct.

The host family places the castrated roosters elsewhere and separates them. This point must be noted, chickens have the property of pecking red matter, and chickens with bleeding wounds must be stocked separately, otherwise they will be pecked to death.

Although the gelding guy is skilled and moves very fast, he is still busy for a long afternoon, and he is still not done. Look at this stance, it will continue tomorrow. Just one went down, and the gelding guy earned three or four hundred yuan, which made him overjoyed, and secretly said that if he had this work every day, even if he didn't plough the fields, it would be enough to eat.

Seeing Zhou Furong and the others coming back, Chu Jiaqiang, who was leaning back on the swing chair, smiled: "What's the matter?" Finished reading? ”

Chu Jiaqiang is too lazy to look at that kind of thing! It's not that I haven't seen it, in the countryside, the gelding guy will enter the village once or twice a year, which is not unusual.

"That gelding guy's technique is really amazing, more powerful than the main knife of the hospital outside, and people have reached the point of solving the cow." Li Quan said.

I saw the gelding guy's movements smoothly just now, and the appearance of a chicken being castrated for two minutes was dazzling.

"Huh! Do more, who wouldn't? Just like you type on the keyboard, people who are used to it, you don't need to look at it, a few thousand words can easily come out. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile, he didn't feel strange about this, there was a specialization in the art industry, and there was nothing to say about this.

At this time, the little squirrel came back from a distance. The little guy ran to Chu Jiaqiang and took out a bunch of ripe grapes from the small cloth bag. It was picked on the other side of the valley, and the monkeys were very hungry at the time.

The little squirrel had just returned, and the monkey followed closely. The guy was also holding a few bunches of grapes, but he didn't have the consciousness to share them with others, so he went up to the tree, sat down on the branches, crossed his legs, and ate them.

Chu Jiaqiang touched the little squirrel's head to show encouragement, and then brought the grapes over. By this time, it was almost August, and the grapes should be ripe. Two days ago, some people ventured into the valley to pick grapes to eat, and monkeys must come every day.

"Isn't it delicious? It looks familiar! Zhou Furong picked a few, but there were not a few of them, and when he picked them, more than half of them were gone.

"Hey! Monkeys, it's not good to eat alone! Take two skewers down. Chen Wu shouted to the monkey above. It's a pity that the monkeys don't bird him, and they still eat leisurely by themselves.

Chu Jiaqiang rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to eat it, pick it yourself!" ”

"Huh! Not bad! A few days ago, I went to pick it too, and it still seems to be very sour. I'll have to take a look at it later, otherwise I might be picked up by someone else. Zhou Furong tasted two or three and found it very sweet.

Chu Jiaqiang didn't say anything, there weren't many grapes this year, so let others pick them. When everyone is done, they are ready to prune the grapes.

"Does this count as a grape? I used to think it was another name for grapes, but then others said that it should be a different variety. Li Quan said.

Chu Jiaqiang shook his head, saying that he didn't know much about these things, anyway, he was called grapes.

In fact, grapes and grapes are essentially grapes and grapes. It's just that in the process of commodity circulation, the markets in Hong Kong, Shanghai and other places usually call the Eurasian grapes with large grains, thick skin, less juice, high quality, difficult to separate skin and flesh, and resistant to storage and transportation. The fruit with large grains, soft texture, juicy and easy to peel is called grape, so two names are formed.

Generally, imported grapes are grapes, and the grape skin and flesh are easy to separate when pinched by hand; On the other hand, the red skin is thinner, and it is difficult to separate the skin from the flesh. In terms of appearance, the brown and red degree of grapes is not the same, the red grapes are dark red, the fruit shape is consistent, the size is uniform, generally the whole bunch, it is difficult to scatter, and it is hard to hold in the hand. Moreover, red grapes have a crisp and sweet taste and are stored for a longer time.

"I heard about it! Generally, grapes are easy to peel, and those that can be eaten with the skin are called grapes, just like green grapes. Ye Jisheng said.

Chu Jiaqiang shouted at the monkey: "Hey! Throw a string down. ”

The monkey looked at Chu Jiaqiang, then looked at the grapes in his hand, weighed them, and finally gave Chu Jiaqiang the smallest bunch with some reluctance.

When everyone looked at it, they were speechless, this guy is too stingy, just the opposite of other people's little squirrels, no wonder the "popularity" is not good, and there are not many "allies".

"I'll see how many, if there's more, pick it back and make wine." Li Quan suggested.

"Will you?" Chu Jiaqiang asked. In everyone's eyes, wine is considered a noble wine, Chu Jiaqiang has never drunk it, and Chu Jiazhai will not make it.

"It shouldn't be difficult, right? I heard a friend say that it's very simple. Li Quan replied.

According to his friend's description, it is nothing more than three procedures: destemming, pressing the fruit and fermenting.

Destemming, which involves removing the grape fruit from a comb-shaped stem. Because the stems contain a lot of tannins, they have an unpleasant flavor in the liquor.

When making red wine, the grape skin and grape flesh are pressed at the same time, and the red pigment contained in the red wine is released when the grape skin is pressed. Because of this, all red wines are red in color.

After the juice is pressed, grape juice, the raw material for winemaking, can be obtained. Wine is made with the juice, which is the product of fermentation. After fermentation, the sugars contained in the grapes are gradually converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

As a result, during the fermentation process, there is less and less sugar and more alcohol. Through a slow fermentation process, red wines with delicate aromas are produced.

"The mountain grapes should be out soon! I've heard that mountain grapes are also good for winemaking. When the time comes, you can go back and brew some, anyway, there are a lot of wild fruits of that kind in the mountains here. Chen Wu said. He had little interest in wine, that is, the so-called gentlemen liked that kind of wine.
