Chapter 49: Buying Chickens and Ducklings
After the new house was built, it was still desolate.
Looking at it from the outside, it was as if a beautiful house had suddenly risen out of the middle of the barrenness, which was very abrupt.
Tang Anning decided to re-take care of the desolate land around him.
Tang Anning found a hoe and began to hoe the wasteland around the house again, digging out all the broken stones.
When the soil is loosened, water is poured around it to make it softer.
In order to make the surrounding land suitable for farming, Tang Anning also quietly bought fertilizer from the mall.
Anyway, there were no people at the foot of this barren mountain, so he was ashamed to sprinkle chemical fertilizer on the surrounding land, and after a few careful cares, the soil quality of the house rental has become much better.
It's already September, and hydrangeas are planting tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and other vegetables around the yard.
These vegetables are really competitive and they start to sprout very quickly.
Tang Anning watered every day and caught insects carefully.
Sometimes she is too busy to be too busy, so she gives this task to the third child.
Although the third child is as intelligent as a child, he is very meticulous and meticulous in doing things.
For example, Tang Anning asked the third child to catch insects, and the third child could catch vegetable seedlings one after another, catch insects carefully, and even let go of the little ants crawling on the vegetable leaves.
If you catch insects, put them in a transparent glass bottle, and you can catch a glass bottle full of small insects every day.
It's a great protein, perfect for feeding chickens and ducklings.
It would be a shame to waste a bottle full of high-quality protein every day.
Tang Anning decided to buy some chickens and ducklings to raise.
There are also chickens and ducklings sold in the mall, but Tang Anning doesn't plan to buy them in the mall.
First, I am afraid that the chickens and ducklings generated will not adapt to the soil and water in this era, after all, the conditions of this era are too difficult, and the chickens and ducklings of later generations are carefully hatched, although they look lively and lovely, but they may not be able to adapt well to this era.
Tang Anning decided to buy it from reality.
Tang Kanshan and Zhang Xiuying of Dashan Village are selling chickens and ducklings.
Tang Anning carried a basket early in the morning, called the third child, took a small cover, covered it with a basket, and the husband and wife happily went out to buy chickens and ducklings.
I heard that Tang Kanshan recently had a batch of newly hatched chicks and ducklings, which looked gratifying.
When Tang Anning and the third child rushed over, Tang Guanshan and Zhang Xiuying's house had already surrounded a lot of people.
Most of them were women, each carrying a basket in their hands, surrounding chickens and ducklings, picking and choosing.
Tang Kanshan and Zhang Xiuying were very busy.
Seeing Tang Anning and Ye Laosan coming, Tang Kanshan was very surprised.
Young daughters-in-law love cleanliness and don't usually keep chickens and ducklings in the yard.
It's all some older aunts and mothers-in-law who will come to buy it.
The third daughter-in-law is young and exquisite, how could she come to their house?
"The third daughter-in-law, why are you and the third here?"
Tang Anning said with a smile: "The family has just built a house recently, and the yard is empty, come and see the chickens and ducklings, if appropriate, buy some and bring them back." ”
Tang Kanshan knew that the courtyard of Tang Anning's house was big and beautiful.
Before the house was built, everyone was not optimistic, but now that the house has been built, those who were not optimistic about it are now all shut up.
Especially those who say that Liu Tang Anning's house is a "wasteland grave", and now they are slapping themselves in the face.
The courtyard of the house is not a wasteland grave, but a palace for the emperor.
The new house of Liu Tang Anning's family has directly raised the architectural aesthetic level of the entire Dashan Village.
Now those people have nothing but jealousy.
Especially Liu Tang Anning planted vegetables around the yard, what tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers......
Now they have grown green seedlings, and some of them have also borne fruits.
Today, the foot of the back mountain is lush and green, and there is no sign of desolation at all.
Liu Tang's Anning's house seems to be thriving.
To select chicks and ducklings, you can choose healthy chicks and ducklings in four ways: looking, listening, touching, and asking.
The so-called seeing is to observe the mental state of the chick and the duckling. Generally healthy chicks and ducklings are lively and active, with bright eyes and quick reactions. Unhealthy chicks and ducklings usually shrink their heads and lie still on their stomachs, completely lacking the liveliness that normal chicks and ducklings should have.
The so-called listening is to listen to the cries of chicks and ducklings. Healthy chicks and ducklings have a loud and crisp voice, while those that are unhealthy are usually hoarse or weak.
The so-called touch is to touch the chick and duckling with your hands and feel the temperature of the chick and duckling. Healthy chicks and ducklings are warm and even-shaped; Unhealthy chicks and ducklings are usually cooler and either skinny or overweight.
The so-called questioning is to ask the person who sells chicks and ducklings to learn about the birth of chicks and ducklings, the hatching process and so on.
Tang Anning quickly selected 50 chickens and 50 ducklings according to the homework he had done in advance.
Tang Anning and Ye Laosan returned home with the little chickens and ducklings, and built a chicken pen against the courtyard wall, and put all the chickens and ducklings in it.
Every day at noon and at night, she releases the chicks and ducklings out of the chicken pen, and feels that in the vegetable field outside, let the chicks and ducklings catch insects for the vegetables she grows.

"Auntie, may I ask if this is a big mountain village?" A woman with short ear-length hair stood at the entrance of Dashan Village and stopped.
Zhao Haixia received an order from the organization to understand Comrade Ye Fan's current living conditions.
Zhang Aihong had just come back from the field, and looked at the white and clean girl in front of her with short ear-length hair, who looked like a young man.
"This is Dashan Village, who are you looking for?" Zhang Aihong asked.
"I'm looking for ......" Zhao Haixia was thinking about the wording, when she saw Zhang Aihong continue, "You are an educated youth, right?" ”
Zhao Haixia hurriedly nodded: "Yes, auntie." ”
Zhang Aihong pointed with her hand: "Over there is the Educated Youth Point, just in front of the team headquarters." If you're going to know the youth, just go that way. ”
Zhang Aihong is in a good mood today, her eldest daughter-in-law Wang Qiaoxin just gave birth two days ago and gave birth to a little granddaughter.
Zhang Aihong is now more energetic in working in the field, earning more work points, and buying delicious food for her little granddaughter in the future.
Zhao Haixia thanked Mrs. Liu and walked in the direction of Zhang Aihong's finger.
It turns out that this is Dashan Village, where Comrade Ye Fan lives.
Zhao Haixia walked all the way and looked at the desolate scene of Dashan Village, which formed a stark contrast to the lively Kyoto.
It is hard to imagine that Comrade Ye Fan lives in such a place.
He was supposed to have a bright future like himself.
