The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 120
"Dongzi, aren't the chickens on the mountain five days behind the chickens on the chicken farm? Why are they so small?"

When he arrived at the experimental chicken house built by his son on the mountain, Wang Fumin frowned as he looked at the chicks in the small chicken house surrounded by plastic sheets.

Wang Shaodong stood with his hips akimbo, and behind him stood Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao.

"Dad, you've watched too many meat chickens, and the red jade chicken is of course too small."

Wang Shaodong hadn't gone down the mountain for a long time, and he usually sent Zheng Tao down the mountain to get some to come up when he was running out of food.As for the vegetables, in this season, there are no green or yellow ones. Anyway, they are fried potatoes, scrambled eggs and so on.In another month, when the kidney beans are ripe, the dishes on the dinner table will become more abundant.

It's been a long time since I went down the mountain, and Wang Shaodong doesn't know how big the chicken at home has grown.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, how old is our meat chicken?"

"It's so big, it must be a catty."

Wang Shaodong was taken aback, blinked, and looked at Wang Fumin: "What? It's only been a few days? Those meat chickens already weighed a catty?"

But if you think about it, you can grow to 42 catties in 5 days, and now it's 15 days, and it's not surprising to have a catty.

"That's not right, I said Dongzi, you haven't been back for ten days, your mother is always talking about you at home, if you are not busy during the day, you can go home and have a look."

Hearing his father's words, Wang Shaodong nodded apologetically and said, "Oh, I see. Dad, how do those meat chickens look now? Are there many casualties?"

"It's growing very well. The chicks that Uncle Hongzi picked are all very good. Except for a few casualties of weak chicks, the chickens in each chicken coop are growing very well."

Hearing this, Wang Shaodong was very happy. The market for broiler chickens this year has been very good. As long as the chickens are raised well, it is very common to make money.

"That's good, Dad, remember to be more careful during the epidemic prevention. Oh, by the way, Uncle Jiaqing is sloppy, not as careful as Uncle Zhentang and Uncle Jiaxiang. When our chickens in their chicken coop are protected against the epidemic, you can Gotta keep an eye on it."

"I also know this. During the two epidemic preventions, your mother and I went to your Uncle Qing's house."

Seeing a faint green light appearing on the ground not far away, Wang Shaodong suddenly thought of something, and then said to Wang Fumin: "Oh, by the way, Dad, if you are free these two days, let's go to Jiaodong to see the big cherry saplings , we have to see that we have almost started to organize people to plant saplings."

As soon as the reservoir was built, the hillsides on both sides that didn't grow things immediately became good places for planting fruit trees. The ventilation conditions are good and the water source is convenient. It is definitely a good project.

Wang Shaodong convinced Wang Fumin that the next step is to develop 200 mu of orchards on both sides of the Wujiayuzi Reservoir, and more than 1 cherry saplings need to be planted. Arbor Day is coming soon, which happens to be a good time to plant trees.

"The chicken farm is basically free now, how about you on the mountain?"

Wang Shaodong looked back at Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao, and asked, "Brother, can you two take care of these five hundred little chickens?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hui hurriedly volunteered and said, "Brother Dongzi, don't worry."

"Yes, Brother Dongzi, you are busy with your work, and we will leave this side to us. My brothers take turns to catch bugs on the mountain, and take turns to be on duty at night, and make sure to take care of your little chicken until it is fat and chubby."

When Wang Shaodong heard this, he said happily, "Don't take care of them too fat. My chickens are going to raise chickens. If they grow fat, they will spread them to the mountains and don't like to move. They will starve out of trouble within two days. You two Listen well, let me feed you according to the amount I set for you, and feed according to the amount written on this wall. As for the bug, you can catch some if you have the time. Boys have snacks."

Wang Shaodong looked up at his watch, and said, "Dad, why don't we go down the mountain now, and I'll call the big cherry seedling factory in Jiaodong to ask."

"So anxious?" Wang Fumin asked, frowning.

Wang Shaodong said with a smile: "What if I forget later?"

Wang Fumin was also happy: "You, you, how can you forget this kind of thing after thinking about it? Okay, it's okay to go down the mountain to see your mother."

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and then Wang Fumin called Zhao Shiling, saying that her son was going down the mountain and asked her to cook two delicious dishes.

She didn't go down the mountain for ten days, and Zhao Shiling was so excited when she received the news, she went to the house to see if there was any delicious food.I still have the leftover Shun Xiangzhai sausage from the Chinese New Year. Cut a plate, then fry a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, then boil a plate of salted duck eggs, and finally have a bowl of corn egg drop soup. This lunch is also considered rich.

After making up her mind, Zhao Shiling looked up at the wall clock hanging on the wall while preparing the ingredients, and smiled before eleven o'clock.

"Hey, isn't it just the son going down the mountain? How is it the same as meeting the leader for inspection?"

Wang Fumin and Wang Shaodong returned to their chicken farm in Taohualing Village at 10:30, and then Wang Shaodong went to the chicken coops of Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang.

Each chicken coop is equipped with brand new cage equipment and electrified heating equipment, which looks very decent.

If the entire chicken farm is enclosed, and the people entering and leaving are strictly disinfected, then this place will really become a modern professional chicken farm.

After walking around for a while, back home, Wang Shaodong's mother, Zhao Shiling, had prepared three dishes and one soup.

Zhao Shiling poured a tea bowl of Jingzhi Baigan for Wang Shaodong and Mrs. Wang, and then sat at the bottom seat and waited, while Wang Fumin sat at the top.

After entering the room, Wang Shaodong glanced at the seat left behind, and sat opposite his father Wang Fumin.

"Dad, a fast chicken is a fast chicken, and it has grown 42 catties in 5 days. It's really not bragging."

Wang Fumin picked up the wine glass, poured some water in front of him, then took a sip, put down the tea bowl and said: "You said that this person is very powerful now. If someone told me that there was a chicken that grew 42 catties in 5 days, I would kill him." I wouldn't believe it either, but now that I have raised this kind of chicken, I have to believe it."

There is a tea bowl of wine for a meal, and there is no need to add it after pouring, so it is quite convenient to drink with a tea bowl.

Zhao Shiling was in a hurry to bring food to Wang Shaodong, which made Wang Shaodong feel a little embarrassed. It seems that he will have to come down to see his mother every day in the future.

Now it's just a separation of less than ten days, and my mother has already thought of me like this. Thinking about how I sometimes didn't let my mother see each other for a whole year in my previous life, how my mother was at that time. I miss myself so much, and how unfilial I am.

After lunch, Wang Shaodong went back to his hut, turned on the computer, and found the phone number of the factory in Jiaodong that specializes in selling big cherry saplings.

A phone call was made, and the other party heard that more than [-] large cherry saplings were needed here, and they attached great importance to it. They said that they could prepare saplings for Wang Shaodong and the others first, and they could drive there to pick up the goods in about four days.
