Chapter 138: Casual Workers
In the afternoon, the second sister accompanied Du Jun to inspect the farm, and Zheng's thousand told him to be comfortable, so he must pay attention not to fall.
The hatching work of the chicken farm has been formed, and the two fixed mothers-in-law have basically mastered the key points of incubation.
At present, the fourth batch of chicks has also been handed over to the chick farm.
Grandma Sun gave Du Jun good news in a hurry, and in ten days, the first batch of chickens will be sold.
Du Jun was very satisfied with this, instructed some precautions, and after retaining some laying hens for seeding, he went to the rabbit farm instead.
Before getting married, Du Jun took out all the rabbits and chickens in the space, and the number of rabbits reached more than 800, not including the rabbits.
After more than a month of breeding and consumption in Anxian County, there are currently more than 400 adult rabbits and more than 1,400 young rabbits, which have basically reached the upper limit of the rabbit farm.
"The fodder is running out, do you have to think of a way?"
After seeing the scale of the rabbit farm, Du Jun knew the root of the problem, there were too many rabbits, and they were still growing up rapidly.
Looking at the cleaned and empty rabbit farm, I couldn't help asking, "Aunt Liu, are the six of you still enough?" ”
"If we just feed the rabbits and clean the manure, there are six of us, which is definitely enough, but if we have to go to the grass, it will be a bit ......" Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed about this.
Du Jun trusted her and handed over this field to her, but she didn't do it well, and she had to trouble Du Jun to find a way.
But I couldn't get too busy, so I took the time to talk to Du Jun about this problem.
Forage!
In order to solve the problem raised by Aunt Liu, the Du Jun sisters went to the field of planting space pasture.
It's almost May, and the weather is getting hotter, with large clearings overgrown with weeds and scattered wildflowers along the way.
"Sister, can these grasses also feed rabbits?"
"I'm also thinking about this question, just go back and ask Aunt Liu."
Du Jun held his breath in his heart, and said very little along the way
After traveling for more than half an hour, I saw that the space pasture, green, like a big carpet, at the beginning of a piece of land, now there is almost an acre of land, it has only taken a month.
Around the circle, Du Jun carefully observed that the grass was taller than the space grown, and there were few weeds in the contiguous places, and around the pasture, livestock manure was piled up, and there were obvious rut marks.
There are all kinds of indications that the space forage is extremely adaptable, and it has been harvested, and it is time to expand the area.
Returning to the rabbit farm, sending someone to call the fourth uncle, and during the time of the others, Du Jun learned about the problem of those weeds in detail.
"We have also tried, there are several kinds of tender and fine grass, which can be used to feed rabbits, but they do not grow much, and they are also very scattered, and it takes half a day for a person to get back a basket, and our rabbits are not enough to eat."
It seems that Aunt Liu also had the idea of fighting those weeds.
After hearing these words, Du Jun didn't say anything more, pondered for a while, and then had an idea, this matter had to be handled by the fourth uncle.
After waiting for a while, the fourth uncle arrived in a hurry, and during this time, in addition to food and lodging, he threw himself into the new house.
"Boss, what do you have to do today?"
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
Looking at the fourth uncle, who was obviously a lot darker, and the appearance of a gray face, Du Jun motioned Zhao Yan to go and fetch a basin of water and wash the fourth uncle.
"If you're not busy with this, let's clean up first," Du Jun said with a smile.
"Xie Dongjia!" The fourth uncle is also nowhere to be seen.
After a while, the fourth uncle finished cleaning up, and the four of them walked into a small lounge in the rabbit farm.
"That Sun .....", Du Jun intended to promote the orphans from the nursery school, but he didn't add it up, but he couldn't think of that person's name when he opened his mouth.
The fourth uncle was stunned, "It's Sun Tiancheng that the owner wants to ask, right?" ”
Du Jun was slightly embarrassed, and his brain became more and more funny, "Yes, it's him, how are you doing these days?" ”
The fourth uncle smiled and praised: "Then the future life is quick and fine, and he is capable." ”
"It's not easy to get the praise of the fourth uncle, I want to change his job and transfer him out for a few days."
Du Jun thought for a while, and then continued: "Wu Yu is also called, follow along." ”
"Okay, I don't know what kind of work it is?"
Du Jun told the fourth uncle and Aunt Liu about the plan she envisioned, simply put, it was to reclaim the wasteland, feed the rabbits with fine grass, feed the remaining grass to cattle and sheep, and then transplant the space pasture to the wasteland to expand the area.
"The owner has a good idea, but the grass is still too little, and if you want to spread all the thirty acres of land, it is still not enough."
Jiang is still old and spicy, and as soon as Du Jun's suggestion was finished, the fourth uncle questioned it.
Aunt Liu couldn't sit still, "Fourth Brother Tong, what should I do then?" These rabbits are getting bigger and bigger, and the forage can't keep up, and they don't grow meat. ”
"Sister, listen to what I said, expanding the grass is not a matter of one or two days, we can go step by step, on the one hand, as the owner said, the grass in the wasteland can be fed, and on the other hand, it can be purchased around."
The fourth uncle looked up at Du Jun and saw that he had no objection, and then said: "The farm is over, and the surrounding half of the children, girls and daughters-in-law have no work, so let's let them help mow the grass, and there will definitely be people willing to do it." ”
Du Jun thought deeply, nodded and said: "Then this matter will be arranged by the fourth uncle, and Aunt Liu will also estimate the specific amount of forage and tell the fourth uncle." ”
The general direction was set, brainstorming, and several people made some additions and confirmations to the details.
During this period, Du Jun took a back seat, let the fourth uncle participate as much as possible, and finally decided to recruit some casual workers to reclaim wasteland, but transplanting pasture grass was still a plan for his own family.
This is a good thing that the owner made from the secret farm, and it must not be seen by outsiders, the fourth uncle thought silently.
The problem was quickly solved, and in the next few days, in addition to preparing beef cattle for the farm, Du Jun devoted herself to her teaching plan.
I found two current enlightenment books, used them as language and arithmetic, copied ten copies each, and marked them with pinyin symbols.
Interspersed with the preparation of chalkboard and chalk.
The blackboard is easy to say, make a square flat plank, dip it in ink, and brush it over and over again.
Chalk, it should be gypsum or calcium carbonate or something, and finally I bought limestone at the pharmacy, crushed and ground it into powder, stirred it with water, found some thin tubes from the space, poured it in and waited for it to dry.
When the chalk was made and demonstrated to Song Jiang, he was praised for a while, saying that Du Jun had done a good deed of immeasurable merit for the literati of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Du Jun is embarrassed, this is the beginning, okay? The next thing is considered to be immeasurable.
threw out a Mongolian textbook, that is, a modern Chinese textbook, and after Song Jiang looked through it, he quickly found the difference.
"Jun, you...... How do you know how to eat a lot? ”
