Chapter Seventy-One: The Cattle and Sheep Pen is Built
After lunch, Chengxin went home and went to the vegetable field to see how the vegetables and seeds planted a few days ago were doing.
When he arrived at the place where the garlic seedlings and shallots were planted, Chengxin squatted down to take a look and found that a little sprout had grown out of the garlic or shallots.
"Hehe, it looks like you're alive, hurry up and grow up, it's up to you to fry bacon or something in the future."
Looking at the yellow seedling white nursery, there is basically no need to look at it, dense small green seedlings have grown, but they are only very small, and I think they are weeds if I don't pay attention.
I looked at the others again, and found that they were all sprouted, and the cabbage and cauliflower also grew well, and there was no need for Chengxin to rescue it, and it was very fresh.
What was brought from the old man, and what is still the present, it should be alive.
Soybeans have also sent out sprouts, just unearthed, but rape has not been sent out yet, maybe the time is relatively short, let's see in two days.
This spiritual liquid does work after soaking, it grows without fertilization, and tomorrow I will get him some rural soil fertilizer?
"Forget it, I don't have it, I have to go to the old man to pick it, anyway, I look good now, I don't need to put it?
"Boy, what are you looking at there? A voice stopped Cheng Xin.
Looking back, it turned out to be Uncle Wang.
"Uncle, I see that the vegetables I planted have sprouted, Cheng Xinle said.
"You kid can grow vegetables?
"Uncle, you look down on people, I bet, the vegetables I grow are definitely better than yours.
This is despised, can Chengxin, who is carrying spiritual liquid, be convinced? Immediately turned on the betting mode.
"Okay, okay, you're going to plant it, right? You kid too, this cow and horse pen is next to your house, or was it built for you, and you didn't even come to take a look?
Wang Jian directly ignored Chengxin's gamble, and directly asked why he didn't take a look at his cattle and sheepfold.
"Uncle, don't I believe you, I'll just come and see when it's built, and it can be completed today, right? Chengxin asked.
"It's done, but boy, I'll have to get the wires from you and put some lights on you, or you won't be able to see when it's dark.
"By the way, I'm going to get you a stone road down, otherwise it's all dirt, and your kid will build the circle more than ten or twenty meters away from home.
"Hehe, Uncle Wang, I've been at home this afternoon, and I can come to the wiring at any time, so I won't look at it, just looking at the appearance is almost the same.
"Okay, you kid don't look at it, don't blame us if there are problems in the future.
After speaking, Wang Jian didn't say anything, and continued to go to the cattle and sheep pen.
Cheng Xin thought for a while, it's okay anyway, go take a look, and walked down after speaking.
"Didn't you kid say you wouldn't see it?
Finding Chengxin coming, Uncle Wang glanced at Chengxin and said.
"Hehe, hehe, what's that, uncle, it's okay anyway, I'll just come over and take a look, don't worry, don't look for trouble."
After speaking, Chengxin immediately looked at it to himself.
The first room is for chickens and ducks, not big, more than a meter empty before entering the door, nothing, but if it is moving forward, it is a wooden stick about a meter above the ground. A wooden bed is formed, but there is a gap of about forty or fifty centimeters between the sticks.
Later, sprinkle some grass and wood ash below, you can close the ducks, the wooden sticks on the top are prepared for the chickens, the chickens sleep standing to sleep, just stand on the wood.
The second room can be said to be a breeding pen or a pigsty.
Directly in front of the entrance is a passageway, as wide as the doorway, and on the right hand is a circle of two waist-high stones, small on the inside and large on the outside.
On the ground are long stone slabs, and on the ground inside each ring there is a hole with a thick bowl mouth, and below it is a thatched pit.
The past two are the horse pen and the cattle pen, very simple, the ground is still paved with stone slabs, each is relatively wide, 4 meters wide, and the depth is also 4 meters.
On the right side of the door, there is also a trough, and sometimes you have to eat something good for cattle and horses, right?
Well, it's good, it's all very well prepared, the whole cattle and sheep pen, a total of 4 rooms, plus three thatched pits, these three thatched pits are under the eaves behind the circle, that is, a little above the paddy field.
However, there is also a problem, if you raise cattle and horses in the future, you have to clean up their poop regularly!!
"How? Satisfied?
Seeing Chengxin wander around, Uncle Wang, who hadn't left yet, asked.
"Hehe, okay, no problem, Cheng Xin said with a smile.
"Alright, just get out of the way, and tomorrow the stone road will be paved for you, and then you can raise things in it.
After speaking, Wang Jian didn't pay attention to Chengxin, with his hands behind his back, along the edge of the paddy field, which was expanded into a dirt road more than one meter wide by them, and walked towards the main road, as for where to go, Chengxin couldn't care.
Seeing that Uncle Wang was gone, Chengxin also looked at the water pump, but didn't see any problems, so he went home to take a bath.
As soon as the washing was finished, the people in the village came to pick up the wire, pointed out the line to them, and then left it alone, and lay on the chaise longue leisurely drinking tea, plus thinking about life.
The next day, Chengxin went to collect the water pump from the ditch, and by this time, the water in the paddy field had been filled and all the soil had been flooded.
Not only that, but even the eight piles of cow poop piled up by Chengxin were flooded.
After packing up his things, Chengxin began to live a leisurely life, practicing every morning, and then making soundtracks.
Sometimes I open the refrigerator to see what's there, or go to the old man's vegetable patch to see what's there, and life is quite chic.
There's no way, it's raining for two days, and I can't do anything when I go out, so it's good to just stay at home and play the soundtrack.
Forget about surfing the Internet, without that condition, even the mobile phone signal is sometimes good and bad.
For three days, the sun was finally reluctant, and Chengxin also found something to do for himself.
This circle has been repaired, but there is no plan to raise chickens and ducks now, the grain has not been bought, and the pasture has not been planted, so we have to wait.
Besides, there is no one who has given birth to calves and ponies recently, and there are no mountain cattle to sell outside the mountains, so they have to go to other counties far away, and the same is true for horses.
But even so, Chengxin still has to prepare something, a fence.
The vegetable field is so large, or the spiritual liquid has been blessed, if you raise chickens and ducks in the future, there is no fence, and you can't finish Chengxin's vegetables in a few days?
So Chengxin is going to use bamboo to weave some bamboo fences, mainly because this thing is simple.
Go to the old house and lead the big buffalo, then put the ox cart on the shelf, sit on it and go in the direction of the mountain.
More than 200 meters away from the left side of the mountain road is the bamboo forest, the area is OK, there are more than ten acres, the only bamboo forest in the village.
No, there is another one on the right, not far from the paddy field area, but there are all small bamboos, the kind that don't grow big, and the bamboo poles that people in the village usually use to support vegetables are the kind they use.
What Chengxin needed this time was big, so he chose this side.
When I arrived at the bamboo forest, I took a firewood knife and walked towards the forest, the whole bamboo forest is full of bamboo, and you can dig bamboo shoots to eat in winter and spring.
Cheng Xin was looking in the bamboo forest, first some with a straighter trunk, and then he waved the firewood knife in his hand, and cut it in the bamboo forest.
Because it only needs to protect the vegetable field of 20 meters on one side, and there is no need for other directions, so Chengxin cut 12 bamboos, ten or two small.
The trunk is left behind, and the part with branches is not directly discarded.
Even so, the remaining one is ten meters long, and Chengxin cut them into three sections, otherwise it would be too long to pull back.
