Mountain Village Chicken Tycoon

Chapter 41
It snowed heavily, and the whole small mountain village was covered in snow.

The next morning, when Zhao Qingshan woke up, it was already seven in the morning.

Because the chick was still young, he took care of the chick last night until two o'clock in the morning, and then his father Zhao Zhijiang came to take care of the chick for him and let him go to sleep.

Now it's the third batch of chickens raised by the Zhao family, and everyone is not as excited as they were at the beginning, so it's time to sleep, and you still have to sleep.After all, there is no need for all three of them to sleep at night.

Zhao Qingshan discussed with his father that when the little chicken was young, the father and son took turns to take care of the little chicken at night, and then they rested after Ma Jinchang came during the day, and Zhao Qingshan's mother usually had a hard time cooking and doing housework , You don’t have to stay up late at night to take care of the chicks.

In my impression, this snowfall seems to be the biggest snowfall in Zhao Qingshan's life.

I still remember the scene when Zhao Qingshan was still in college in Quancheng during the heavy snowfall, and then the students from his own dormitory and the girls from the fellowship dormitory went to the Yellow River Forest Park together.

We took a lot of photos, and Zhao Qingshan even took a photo with a girl named Ouyang Qingqing. When they came back, everyone said that they were a good match.

When I first entered the school, in order to develop as many couples as possible in the student union, the male dormitory and the female dormitory were randomly paired to form a social dormitory, and some social activities were often organized.I have to say that those seniors in the student union are very interesting, and they have such a purpose.

I remember that at that time, SARS was not very violent, and everyone was still free to go out.However, after returning from that activity, the winter vacation was soon over, and then after returning to school, SARS broke out. Everyone could only stay in the dormitory, and they were not allowed to go anywhere, and classes were not held.Gradually, the matter of the social dormitory was delayed because everyone gradually had boyfriend and girlfriend.

Unfortunately, Zhao Qingshan did not fall in love in the university.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, but that he is afraid of spending money. He is actually a very filial son.

The snow stopped, the earth was covered with snow, and Zhao Qingshan was in a good mood.

Seeing how Ma Jinchang and the others were struggling to climb the mountain, Zhao Qingshan immediately carried the shovel and broom and went outside the gate to start sweeping snow.

The snow in the yard has already been cleaned by his mother, and several roads that he needs to walk in daily life have been cleaned.

Watching the little boss start to sweep the snow, Liu Tao quickened his pace, and soon threw his father Liu Yuren and Ma Jinchang away behind him.

"Shanzi, it's a good thing you have prepared everything in advance, otherwise there is no feed and coal now, where can I get it?"

The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and now there is no use of any means of transportation. Even riding a bicycle to the road is difficult.

At this time, the only means of transportation that can be relied on are two legs.

Liu Yuren admires the little boss's foresight, he always plans ahead.

The work in the chicken farm is not serious, in fact, one worker is enough, but Zhao Qingshan knows that he will build a large chicken farm in the future, and he will need more than these three workers, and now he wants to train veterans, these three people will be They will all be elders.

After clearing the snow on the road at the door, Zhao Qingshan pulled Liu Tao and said, "Liu Tao, should we go up the mountain or down the river?"

After the snow in winter, going up the mountain and down the river, there are many interesting things.

Liu Tao looked up at the top of Dongling, and then at the water in Beihe.

The location of Zhao Qingshan's apple orchard is really good. They can see the whole village, the top of Dongling, and Beihe.After walking less than 200 meters to the top of Dongling Mountain, you can see Nanshan again.

A heavy snow, not familiar with the terrain, has been unable to tell where is the mountain, which is the river.

"Going up the mountain and down the river? Does it count as work?"

Zhao Qingshan stroked Liu Tao's back and laughed loudly: "Of course forget it, hahaha."

"The snow is too thick, and there is nothing to gain from going up the mountain. I think if we want to gain something today, let's go down the river."

The big freeze has been going on for several days. Once the big freeze hits, the shallow part of the North River will freeze over the entire section, and then there will be no water flow downstream to replenish it.

As the weather gets colder, the ice on the river surface becomes thicker and thicker. At the same time, the water below the ice seeps into the ground and causes the water level to drop. In this way, the ice layer in the river and the water surface under the ice form a larger space.Slowly, the water under the ice surface is getting less and less. When it reaches a certain level, the ice surface can be broken open and fish can be caught under the ice.

"Then let's go down the river!"

As soon as he thought about it, Zhao Qingshan ate some breakfast in a hurry, then took a shovel, a hammer, a crowbar, a flashlight, a bucket and a net, and put on boots, he came to Beihe.

The upper reaches of the Beihe River are relatively wide and shallow, and this section was completely frozen a few days ago.

Then the two of them came to a relatively large water puddle downstream of the frozen place, took a hammer, and began to swing on the ice.

In such a cold day, the ice on the river is thick enough, so there is no need to worry about breaking the ice and making Zhao Qingshan and Liu Tao fall into the water.

Before junior high school, Zhao Qingshan and his friends would go skating on the river in this water area every winter vacation.

This is a river section about 200 meters long. The water surface width of the entire river section is more than 20 meters, and the middle and water depth can be about [-] meters.

In this season, the deepest part of the ice surface in the middle of the river is at least [-] centimeters.

Zhao Qingshan shoveled away the snow on the ice surface to expose the ice, and then Liu Tao began to swing the hammer.The heavy blows of the hammer made a dull sound, and under the heavy blows again and again, the ice layer began to melt little by little.After swinging the hammer a few times, Zhao Qingshan hurriedly shoveled away the crushed ice chips with a shovel.

Liu Tao swung a few hammers, and then poked a few times with an iron crowbar, while Zhao Qingshan was always responsible for shoveling the ice chips away with a shovel.

The two brothers have been busy for more than an hour, and finally broke a hole big enough for one person to drill under the ice.

Lying on the hole and looking down, there is not much water below, it is full of moss, and in the water that is only as big as a washbasin, the white strips are particularly eye-catching.

Zhao Qingshan and Liu Tao came under the ice one after another, one with a flashlight and a bucket, and the other with a scooping net, and started the very simple and pleasant activity of catching fish together.

In less than half an hour, the two brothers had already filled the 25L bucket.Inside the bucket was a bundle of long white fish.This kind of fish does not grow very big, at most it can grow to a length of a bunch. Before 2006, the entire Beihe River was full of this kind of fish.However, after 2006, this kind of fish is rarely seen in Beihe.

Returning from a long distance, they climbed up from the ice hole, Zhao Qingshan and Liu Tao happily went back to Dongling.

At noon today, you can eat fried white strips.
