My village can't be like this

Chapter 530 Deer Park Completed
Just after the Qingming Festival, the sky immediately turned sunny, and the continuous rain in the past few days disappeared with the appearance of the sun.

The flowering period of the fruit trees ended in the first half of March, and the tiny flower receptacles began to grow into tiny cherries and peaches.

Zhang An often goes to check before Qingming Festival. Although they have begun to bear fruit, the fruits have always been very small and the growth rate is not obvious.

When the Qingming Festival passes, these tiny green fruits grow crazily, as if they have heard a charge.

Zhang An hadn't seen them for a few days, but they had already grown to the size of beans and looked like fruits.

Especially the little peaches on the peach trees are now bigger than a thumb.

Therefore, Zhang An, who has been idle for a long time, has to start getting busy.

In the past two years, both the cherry and peach trees in the orchard have grown larger each year.

In the past, there was still some space between the two, enough for people to move freely inside.

But it doesn't work now, because as the fruit trees grow, the crowns of the trees grow larger and larger, as if they are stuck together.

Even though there are still some gaps between the trees, people walking in can no longer walk back and forth as boldly as before.

After the tree crown grows up, the number of flowers and fruits will definitely be much greater than before.

At this time, in order to ensure the normal growth of the fruit, fruit thinning is definitely necessary.

But Zhang An is quite lazy, so it would probably take a long time to thin all the fruits in such a large orchard.

Zhang An might not think of other things on weekdays, but as long as it involves being lazy, his head starts to spin.

While he was thinking about it, he decided not to thin the fruit trees.

Because he felt that if there were too many fruits, it was simply because the nutrition could not keep up, resulting in the fruits not growing well in the end.

This method cannot be solved by others and can only be sorted out by flowers and fruits.

But Zhang An is different. He can solve the problem by simply applying fertilizer to each fruit tree.

As for replenishing nutrients for the fruit trees, there is no need to look for miscellaneous fertilizers. Space spring water is much more useful than those things.

If that doesn't work, I'll add some crystal dew to the spring water. Zhang An just wanted to try the effect of crystal dew on plants.

In this way, the nutrition of the fruit tree can be guaranteed. As long as the nutrition is sufficient, no matter how many fruits the fruit tree bears, there is no need to worry about the problem of not growing big.

As for whether the branches can hold so many fruits, Zhang An is not worried at all.

Although the branches on the fruit trees are not too thick, last year they had already proved to Zhang An how strong they were.

Because there were several hailstorms last year and the heavy rain that followed, only the leaves of the fruit trees in Zhang An's orchard were knocked to the ground, but no branches were broken.

For several days, Zhang An went into the orchard intently.

While watering my own fruit trees with space spring water, I observed the current condition of the fruit trees to see if there were insect pests on these trees.

It took about more than a week to complete the work.

On April 15, good news spread in Changqing Village.

Thanks to the hard work of Zhang Jianjun and many others, the construction of the deer park, which took nearly two months, has been completed.

In the morning, after Su Ying went out, Zhang An carried his son to the grain drying field.

After all, the deer park is built, and as a villager, I definitely want to take a look first.

But when he arrived at the grain drying field, there were already many people ahead of him.

Seeing so many people in the village here, Zhang An was a little confused.

Because now is the time to plant and raise seedlings, everyone should be very busy, why do you still have time to come here to join in the fun? This is not at all like the hard-working Changqing people in the past.

The deer park is relatively grand, with a very large deer enclosure, because the dry walls are very high, higher than any other family's house in the village.

Zhang An knew at a glance that this was to ensure the space inside the large circle.

There are many windows on the wall, which are left to ensure ventilation inside the deer pen.

Of course, these windows are all barred inside, leaving no chance for those with evil intentions to climb in.

In addition to the large circle, there is still a third of the place that is a semicircular open-air dam.

The ground of the dam was not hardened with cement and sand, but was completely flattened into a muddy field.

Zhang Jianwen said here before that this dam will be used to grow grass in the future. When the deer are released, they will be able to graze on this grassland.

Speaking of which, Zhang Jianwen was inspired by Zhang An’s home.

Because behind Zhang An's family enclosure, there is a large open space, which is filled with grass by Zhang An.

Except in winter, the animals of Zhang An's family are allowed to have free rein. After they leave the pen, they graze and rest on the grassland by themselves, or go to the orchard to eat leaves or grass on the ground.

As for the issue of grass seeds, Zhang Jianwen has never been worried.

Because Zhang An planted the grass behind the pen house and the grass in the nest. They were very pleasing to the eye and had strong growth potential.

After he prepared to finish the deer park, he went to Zhang An to ask for some grass seeds to sprinkle on.

Outside the open-air dam, a fence more than two meters high was planted, and outside the fence was a semicircular stand.

Anyone who wants to come and see the deer can do so from the stands.

The stands are very spacious, which is certainly enough for the current flow of people.

There are some small windows on the fence that are not big but can reach through.

This was suggested by Zhang An, so that people who come to see the deer in the future can feed the deer inside with their own hands, especially the children, who are more interested in this.

After all, the effect of being able to feed the deer grass with your own hands is definitely different from just watching the deer with two eyes. The former is definitely more of a gimmick.

Of course, the fodder for feeding cannot just be picked up randomly on the ground, it must be obtained from the deer park.

After all, there are so many people, and no one can guarantee that the grass they get is ok.

This will definitely be understood by everyone. After all, this is to ensure the safety of the sika deer in the deer park.

However, the village has not yet decided whether it is free or paid to get fodder from Luyuan, and Zhang Jianwen thinks it needs to be considered. This is the general situation of the entire Lu Park. Zhang An only came to see it when it was still under construction, but stopped coming later.

So he has never seen what this deer park will look like after it is built.

People who came over now were all waiting in the grain-drying field, gathering in twos and threes to chat about various topics. Rural people do not lack topics to chat about, but they just lack time. Otherwise, if you look at those people carrying burdens on their shoulders, When you meet an acquaintance, you have to stand and chat for a long time carrying the burden.

Some people have already walked to the stands and started to watch, but there are no children there. After all, today is not the weekend, and they are all locked up in school.

Even little ones as young as four or five are not immune, because Changqing Primary School also offers preschool classes in addition to grades one to six.

Preschools are just like kindergartens many years later. They only accept children who are four or five years old and are not old enough to attend first grade.

It’s just that preschool, unlike kindergarten, does not teach little ones how to play games. It only allows them to start contacting pinyin letters and numbers.

This way, when they graduate from preschool and enter first grade, they can quickly start learning.

Not long after, Zhang Jianwen came over with Huang Weimin and others with the key.

After he opened the gate of the deer park, everyone started to visit.

"Oh, it's so wide in here. If it were my house, it would probably have about ten rooms to be this big."

"The buildings in this circle are better than the houses that people live in. Look at these walls and pillars. I want to come in and occupy some space."

When they first entered the deer enclosure, many people compared their houses with this deer enclosure.

There is no doubt about the result, the deer pen is a complete victory.

The deer pen was divided into several circles. Except for three large circles, the others were small circles.

Because the entire deer park occupies a very wide area, the large pens that are separated are not small, and are about the same size as Zhang An's family pen house.

These large pens are used to contain deer. As long as they are normal deer, they will be kept together.

Although the other small circles are not large, they are relatively large in number. Zhang An has not counted them, so he does not know the exact number.

Compared with the large pen, the deer raised in the small pen are not ordinary deer.

For example, some deer are sick, injured, or pregnant, and their calves will be raised in these small pens.

This way they can be raised individually and cared for intensively.

In addition to the large and small pens, there are two separate rooms and a large open compartment. I think those two rooms are for the people who will be responsible for raising deer in the future.

After all, since he took on the job of raising deer, he naturally had to take care of him in the deer park.

Because cameras are not yet widely available, people have to guard them manually at night.

The other open area is probably used for stacking hay and other things.

Zhang Jianwen walked inside, the smile on his face never stopping.

It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this deer park.

Zhang Jianjun and the others are also very happy. After all, this is their first time contacting this thing. To be able to build it like this is already an extraordinary performance for them.

However, the suggestions given by Li Hongbin are indispensable. After all, he has been in this industry for many years and is more familiar with the structural levels than Zhang Jianjun and others.

In the afternoon, Zhang Jianwen came to Zhang An's house.

"Xiao An, now that the deer park has been built, when do you think it's appropriate to drive those deer there?"

Now that the construction of the deer park is completed, Zhang Jianwen is naturally eager to start the deer breeding business.

On the other hand, he was also a little embarrassed to keep all the deer in Zhang An's house.

Because Zhang An's family refused to accept the money they gave him, he spent all his time looking after her in vain.

"Uncle, we definitely can't go there directly now, because the pen has not been disinfected yet. If we go there directly, those deer will probably become acclimatized."

The deer park in the village is different from Zhang An's large enclosure. Zhang An's large enclosure can be entered directly because it was disinfected before and has been raising deer ever since.

But for the newly built deer park in the village, new soil was dug and must be disinfected before breeding can be started in it.

"Disinfection? What does this mean?"

Zhang Jianwen really didn't understand this. Although they also raised livestock at home, they had never done this kind of disinfection and sterilization. Whether they were pigs, cows or horses, they were kept in pens directly after they were bought.

"It means that our deer park is newly dug, and a lot of bacteria harmful to grass deer have been dug out from the soil. Therefore, before driving them in, they must be disinfected and sterilized. Otherwise, if they are driven in directly, they will be raised. In a few days, those with weak immunity may get sick, especially since these deer in the village were caught from the mountains, so we need to be careful."

Seeing that Zhang Jianwen was unclear, Zhang An patiently explained to him what was going on.

"This is also simple. Go to the veterinary station and buy some disinfectant. Then find a few people with sprayers to spray it inside. Or even simpler, you can light a fire inside and then bake the entire circle with fire. , but this is more troublesome.”

"So that's it, so don't be busy now. I'll go to the veterinary station tomorrow to buy this disinfectant. Then you can teach us how to disinfect it."

Hearing what Zhang An said, Zhang Jianwen was a little scared. He was not in a hurry to drive the deer in. He first disinfected the pen as Zhang An said.

"Actually, this is very simple. If I'm worried about trouble, when I go to the veterinary station to prescribe disinfectant, I can ask them to help with disinfection without spending money. This is their duty, but they need to provide food for others. "

Changqing Village now has such a big place, and it is the first place to breed wild animals nearby. Those at the veterinary station must also welcome Zhang Jianwen there. After all, this is their job, and if they do it well, it will be an achievement.

In some places, the breeding staff are not active, and people from the veterinary station have to come over personally to urge them.
"That's okay. It's simple. When I go to prescribe disinfectant tomorrow, I'll just tell them then."

Zhang Jianwen initially thought that asking these people to come down to help would require money, but when he finally heard that he only needed to provide food for them, he immediately stopped taking it seriously.

"Well, Xiao An, get me some of those grass seeds you scattered, and I'll scatter them in the dam tomorrow."

Although there was no rush to drive the deer in, the work of planting grass in the dam had to be put on the agenda, so Zhang Jianwen asked Zhang An for some grass seeds.

It's still spring, so the grass seeds will grow out in a few days, and the deer will soon be able to go in and play by themselves.

"Okay, I have more than ten kilograms left here. The dam is quite large, so I will give it all to you, uncle."

Not long ago, when spring started, Zhang An re-sowed grass seeds. After sowing, there was still half a bag of more than ten kilograms left, so Zhang An didn't put it back.

Zhang Jianwen happened to come over today to ask for it, and Zhang An gave him the rest without even thinking about it.
