Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 53

"Well, this way you won't be afraid of these little guys getting out of the gaps. After you go back, you can cut out these net bags and make them into safety nets to surround the shack. This will prevent the big snakes in the mountains from eating poultry. Watch out for weasels and raccoons, and it's best to leash the dogs in front of the shed, or it may cause serious losses."

"Thank you, auntie, I will remember, goodbye."

After the two parties bid farewell, Niu Xiaoqiang and others rode bicycles home.In order to avoid being seen by the villagers, the four of them turned around before reaching the village and came to the farm through a relatively hidden route.

This time I bought four piglets, 190 chickens, [-] ducklings, and [-] goslings. I spent a total of [-] yuan, and the remaining money was only a dozen yuan.Since I have already purchased feed such as broken rice and bran, the demand for funds is not large in the future. I have to buy a pot for cooking pig food with the ten dollars, and the rest is the last emergency fund. up.

The four of them settled the chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, and then took out the scissors they brought from home and started cutting the net bags.

Although I have a lot of opinions on that middle-aged woman, what she said is still very pertinent.There are already many big snakes and weasels in the mountains. If we don't take good protection, it is estimated that these poultry will be eaten up before they grow up.

At noon, the safety net was finally set up. Niu Huahua took out a bowl of broken rice from the feed piled in the pigsty compartment and sprinkled it in the shed, regardless of being tired.The little guys in the three shacks immediately buried themselves in grabbing food.

Niu Huahua smiled happily: "You must grow up quickly, so that we can earn money."

Niu Xiaoyong's mind is relatively simple, he just snapped his fingers and began to calculate: "If a chicken can earn two yuan, we can earn 160 yuan, and if a duck can earn—"

Niu Xiaoqiang interrupted without waiting for him to settle the accounts: "Don't rush to settle the accounts, according to my estimation, it's pretty good if half of these eighty chicks survive. It may not even be able to recover the cost of buying seedlings."

During the campaign a few years ago, every household was not allowed to raise poultry. If anyone raised poultry, they would be confiscated. It was called "cutting the tail of capitalism".

Later, the times changed, and as long as rural people had the conditions, they would basically raise poultry.This is the case in the family of Niu Xiaoqiang and others. Anyone who has raised poultry knows that the most fearful thing about raising poultry is encountering plague.

Niu Xiaodong nodded immediately when he heard this: "Brother Qiang is right, we can't think things too simply, we must fully predict the possible risks, so that we can manage the farm well."

Niu Xiaoyong looked at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Brother Qiang, how should we prevent chicken plague?"

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the shack: "First of all, it must be clean and hygienic. We have to clean the shack every morning. In addition, I still have a dozen yuan left in my hand. I will go to the town to buy a pot for cooking pig food later. For the rest of the money, go to the Agricultural Resources Cooperative to buy a few bags of medicine, crush the medicine to prevent the plague and put it in the water, the little ones should be able to prevent it after drinking it."

Niu Xiaodong gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough, it's scientific breeding. Well, let's do it like this. Xiaoyong, since you have good physical strength, I will leave the shopping to you."

Niu Xiaoyong did not refuse, and set off immediately after taking the money from Niu Xiaoqiang.

The remaining three people started to build a stove for cooking pig food. This work was very simple, and they built a simple stove in a short while.In order to avoid the rain, they specially built the stove under the big tree on the hillside.

Niu Huahua wiped his sweat and asked, "Brother Xiaoqiang, what do we need to do next?"

It's around one o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is very hot. Niu Xiaoqiang waved his hand: "It's too hot, let's take a rest first. When Xiaoyong comes back, we will cook a pot of pig food and feed the little piglets."

The three of them rested under the shade of a tree for more than an hour. Niu Xiaoyong finally returned with a big pot on his back. Niu Xiaoqiang asked Niu Xiaoyong to sit and rest while he, Niu Huahua and Niu Xiaodong cooked pig food.

By the time the little piglets were fed, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.None of the four had eaten lunch, and each of them was starving.Niu Xiaoyong patted his belly, and suggested: "Anyway, the work that should be done is done, let's go to the mountains to find something to eat."

This proposal was approved by Niu Huahua and Niu Xiaodong. The three of them used to often do activities together, and they have long been familiar with it.

Niu Xiaoqiang was a fool in the past, and no one wanted to take him to play, so he didn't know what to eat in the mountains. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "What do you want to eat?"

Niu Xiaodong smiled mysteriously: "Brother Qiang, wait here for a while, let's go and come back, and you will know when the time comes."

Niu Xiaoqiang was just so happy, he lay down under the shade of a tree, "Okay, I'll take a nap here, and wait for you to return home with a rewarding experience."

The three of them agreed, got up and got into the woods quickly.

After Niu Xiaoqiang fell asleep for more than half an hour, the three of them came back with the food they found in their clothes. Niu Xiaoyong woke him up: "Brother Qiang, get up and eat."

Niu Xiaoqiang opened his eyes and found that the three of them were carrying wild fruits, insect pupae, and even a few bird eggs.

Niu Huahua put the chrysalis and bird eggs under the stove and roasted them until they were cooked, and then handed them to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Brother Xiaoqiang, this is the chrysalis of Cicada. I will dig out the cicada chrysalis to satisfy my hunger."

The more Niu Xiaoqiang looked at it, the more he realized that the cicada pupae was very similar to the maggot pupae in the toilet. It was completely an enlarged version of the maggot pupae. When he thought of the dense swarm of maggots wriggling on the dung pile, he didn’t have the courage to eat it anyway, but Seeing Niu Huahua's kind expression, he was too embarrassed to refuse openly, so he could only smile and perfunctory: "Xiao Hua, I'd better keep you eating such delicious food, I'll just eat these few eggs. "

Niu Huahua was already starving, so she didn't refuse. She handed the roasted eggs to Niu Xiaoqiang, and then stuffed the cicada silkworm chrysalis into her mouth, chewing and tsk-tsk: "En, it's delicious."

The white liquid flowing from the corner of Niu Huahua's mouth made Niu Xiaoqiang want to vomit. He hurriedly turned his head and said in his heart: Don't you cherish the delicious food?The juices are all coming out, it really doesn't matter at all.

Niu Xiaoyong handed the picked mulberry to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Brother Qiang, this is the mulberry I specially prepared for you. It's so sweet."

Niu Xiaoqiang had eaten mulberries before, and they tasted really good, much tastier than ordinary fruits.He swept away the depression just now, took the mulberries with a smile, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
