Chapter 163: Building a Chicken Coop
When the father and daughter came to the small playground, they were surprised to find that they were the first to come, in fact, think about it, at this time, every family is picking up crops in the field.
The small playground was very lively, but it was full of chirping of all kinds of chickens and ducks.
As soon as Mu Shui put the flatbed truck on the small playground, he entered the broadcasting room.
"Village party secretary, we're here."
"It's Mushui, it's coming pretty fast, let's go, let's go and take an inventory of what is distributed to your house first." Chen Xiangyang took a big step, and clerk Xiao Lin followed closely.
"Give me the basket." Chen Xiangyang squatted down, picked out twenty chickens from the basket, and put them in the basket of wooden water.
"In the whole village, you have the most raised family, can you do it?" As Chen Xiangyang spoke, he packed twenty ducks and two geese.
"My yard is big, and now Xiaocao and Brother Pan can also share the work, and they can take care of it if they raise so much." Mu Shui looked at these chickens, ducks and geese, and his face was full of smiles.
"Come, these two little piglets are all ready, you count them, and make a handprint." Chen Xiangyang took the list, handed it to Mu Shui, and pointed to the location where the handprint was pressed.
"The red seal is in the house, go, go in and press it." Xiao Lin took Mu Shui to press the mudra.
"Uncle Chen, can you open up wasteland now?" Mu Xiu hurried up and stepped forward to ask.
"Wasteland? You can open up wasteland, but there are regulations on it, only four kinds of wasteland can be opened, and you have to go through some procedures, I haven't done it yet, I have to check the policy. Chen Xiangyang pondered for a moment, finished answering, and then asked, "What?" Do you want to open up wasteland? ”
"My family has little land, and I want to grow a few acres." Mu Xiu said.
"Okay, you can come to me again in two days, I'm relieved about this."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Mu Xiu said sweetly.
"Xiu, let me ask you something, where did you buy that wine from years ago? It tastes good, I'll go get some. Chen Xiangyang smashed his mouth and said with endless aftertaste.
Mu Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, it turned out that the village party secretary was good at this.
"Uncle Chen, it's my home-brewed one, it's not worth a few dollars, I'll bring it to you in a few days."
"I didn't expect you to have this skill, okay, come to my house for dinner tomorrow, and I'll ask your aunt to get you a few good dishes." Chen Xiangyang said happily, no way, who made Mu Xiu's wine so fragrant!
When Mu Xiu celebrated the New Year, the bottle of wine that gave Chen Xiangyang was indeed brewed by her own hands, and she was in the mountains before, and the old grandfather in the village taught her the ancient method of winemaking.
"Village Party Secretary, where are my chickens?" A voice came from behind him, interrupting the conversation between Mu Xiu and Chen Xiangyang.
"The village party secretary, you are busy first, I'll go." Mu Xiu saw the villagers who arrived one after another, and he didn't linger too long, followed Mu Shui, who came out after pressing his handprints, and pushed a small flatbed truck full of poultry home.
When she returned home, Mu Shui put all the baskets on the ground, and saw Mu Xiaocao coming back from carrying a large box of wild vegetables outside, Li Pandi followed behind her, and after seeing Mu Shui, she ran over excitedly and shouted happily: "Grandpa, where is the little pig!" ”
In Li Pandi's eyes, pork is the most delicious food, especially the fatty meat, which is fragrant, and now she is very happy to be able to raise pigs.
"Sister, this camelina looks good, and the dumplings are the best." Mu Xiu looked at Mu Xiaocao's basket of wild vegetables, and began to be greedy, this is pollution-free, pure green food.
"Okay, I love dumplings." Li Pandi has become much more lively now.
"Little gluttonous cat, let's go clean the pig shed and the chicken pen and duck pen first!" Mu Xiaocao went back to the house to get a broom and a dustpan.
At the beginning, the pigsty in Sun Xingfu's yard, close to the kitchen, Mu Xiu also specially adjusted it once, and got the corner opposite the kitchen, the pig is a living thing, it can be eaten and pulled, and the taste is heavy.
The pigsty is covered there, and the smell can't float away when the south wind blows in summer, and although the north wind blows in winter, it's cold and frozen, so there is no smell.
"This little pig is so cute." Mu Xiu saw the pink piglet, a pair of big watery eyes, looking at herself very innocently, the pink nose rubbing, the small head and the sound of humming, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke the back of one of the piglets, and felt the trembling on the piglet's body.
"Auntie, when will this little pig grow up, can you kill a pig during the New Year?" Li Pandi's words made Mu Xiu speechless, the little pig looked so cute at this moment, Li Pandi thought about how to eat it.
Today's weather, although it has reached spring, the temperature is gradually warming, but the temperature difference between day and night is still relatively large, every three or five days change, it often appears that it is too cold to wear a cotton jacket today, and it is too hot to wear a cotton jacket tomorrow.
"Sister, this weather changes back and forth, it's not certain, this is kept in the yard, will it freeze to death at night." Mu Xiu asked worriedly.
Mu Xiaocao stood there stunned, yes, how did you forget this stubble, these little chickens are too small at the moment, are there any big hens to protect them, just put them in the yard, even if there is a chicken coop, it is not warm enough, and it really can't be thrown directly in the yard.
"Or, go and clean up a place in the kitchen, and keep them there first, at most a month, and the weather will be warm." Mu Xiaocao thought for a while and said.
"There are so many chickens, ducks, geese and piglets, and there is a lot of excrement every day, so it's not good to put it in the kitchen." Mu Xiu made up the picture, I really couldn't bear to imagine.
"What then? Someone else's family has a few, it's easy to get, we have so many of them" Mu Xiaocao was also worried, and both of them were very nostalgic for the electric heater in their previous life.
"Now I can only build another warm shed, but fortunately, I still have some leftover plastic film in my house, and I don't know if it is enough." Mu Xiu looked at the courtyard, and only the location of the greenhouse was the warmest before.
"That's a good idea." Mu Shui nodded.
The three of them were also action-oriented, and when they saw that they were all past four o'clock, they hurried into action.
The vegetable garden is full of soil, which is easy to do, and Mu Shui used to weave a lot of straw mats, but now it is just right to be used and directly covered on it.
Mu Shui went out and cut the bamboo pole again, and began to build a shelf, which is much easier to build a shed than the original warm shed, as long as a few arches are done, the positioning pile is pulled well, and the butt is tied with a rope.
Although this shed is not as big as the one where the vegetables were grown, it is enough to raise these little ones.
Mushui made several fences out of bamboo strips and divided the animals into four areas.
Each of these little ones has a rectangular basket in their nests, which is also convenient for cleaning feces.
Mu Xiu took out the plastic film, and several people covered the film, so that a simple greenhouse would be good.
