Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 18 Chicken Raising Facilities
It is now August and the weather is very hot.

The air in this ancient time is fresh, and the environment has not been damaged. Even if the temperature is too high, it is only in the [-]s, which is not as hot as in the present world.Otherwise, with Yun Yiyi's physique, she couldn't stand this kind of weather.

But the chick will be hot, and this kind of weather can easily make the chick sick.

In ancient times, there was no cooling fan, and many chicks could only endure bad weather, which led to a low survival rate.

Yun Yiyi noticed that Chickie likes to squeeze around on the other side. There are two plane trees planted on one side of the yard, which are very big. Although the leaves have fallen a little, they can still provide shade.

After the chicks were full, some were pecking at the sand to digest their food, and some were resting with half-closed eyes.

Yun Yiyi walked over and found that it was still a bit cool over there. This was because the plants could absorb sunlight and increase oxygen production, which improved the surrounding environment.

This greatly reminded Yun Yiyi that if low grass vegetation was planted around the chicken coop, the temperature could be completely lowered.

But she didn't act immediately, but searched in her backpack, took out dozens of pots of flowers and plants and placed them around, and poured cold water under the chicken coop to lower the temperature.

Those chicks immediately perked up and seemed very comfortable.

Yun Yiyi has heard before that free-range chickens are prone to diseases and parasitic diseases, such as coccidiosis, chicken lice, mites, etc.The chicks often catch a cold due to unstable temperature, which leads to fear of cold, tears, loose feathers, and difficulty breathing.These diseases need to be prevented in advance. If you wait until you get sick, it will be troublesome.She is not a doctor, let alone a veterinarian. Even if the chickens are sick, there is nothing they can do.

In this era, there is no such profession as a veterinarian.

So when feeding, Yun Yiyi added a small amount of crushed limestone to the rice and corn kernels to prevent the chickens from getting sick.

There are other medicines in the backpack, but the medicine is three-point poisonous, and Yun Yiyi dare not add it at will. She also hopes that this bunch of little chickens can grow up healthily and smoothly.

This era is very strange. Chickens are raised with this kind of mesh. Although it is convenient, Yun Yiyi feels that the shading effect is not good.

She went back to her room and sketched a picture on the paper. According to her knowledge, she drew a simple chicken shed. In fact, it was very simple. It was a cage made of several pieces of wood. It was square and simple, but it was simpler than other cages. and huge.

The upper part of the cage is made of wood, very large and tall, similar to the function of a roof, not only can shade the sun, but also block the rainstorm.And the bottom is still supported by wood, and then the net can be covered on it, and all the chickens can be closed on it.

Last night, she was afraid of the rain, so she drove all the chickens into the kitchen, but if such a chicken shed can be made, the time can be greatly reduced.

There is a carpenter in the village who usually helps the villagers make tables, benches, wooden spoons and other tools. Yun Yiyi couldn't wait to find him with the drawings.

Seeing that she was going out, the two cubs blinked and wanted to go with her.

They are very clingy to Yun Yiyi now, even if they are playing around by themselves, they still pay attention to Yun Yiyi's movements at any time, once they find that Yun Yiyi is gone, they have to follow.

Yun Yiyi was helpless, the two cubs were small, she couldn't bear to throw them in the house, so she steamed a few red bean paste buns and asked them to take them to eat, then took the two cubs by the hand and walked slowly to the village .

The carpenter's house doesn't count, it's only ten minutes away.

The carpenter is a 40-year-old middle-aged man, and everyone in the village calls him Lao Liu.

When Yun Yiyi arrived, Lao Liu was carving a wooden basin, and he seemed to have a lot of experience.

She took out the paper and asked, "Old Liu, I want to make a chicken shed, can you do it?"

Old Liu was taken aback, "The chicken shed?"

Don't people raise chickens just to cover the chickens with a net, and then surround them with a few fences. Raising chickens is very easy. After all, the chickens will find food by themselves. When they see the bugs on the ground, the chickens It will be eaten by itself, which is very worry-free.Lao Liu knew about the pig shed, but he had never heard of the chicken shed.

Yun Yiyi nodded, pointed to the drawing and described it, and then asked: "Can you make it?"

Although no one has ever made this object, its structure is very simple, just like a simple wooden house, except for the wooden roof, which requires a little effort, there is not much difficulty.

It's just that Lao Liu felt that this thing was a waste of time and materials, and it didn't have much practical value.

What does it take to raise a chicken so much.

He shook his head: "Daughter-in-law of the Yan family, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that you can't make it overnight. I have other jobs on my hands, so I really don't have time."

Yun Yiyi raised her eyebrows and said, "This chicken shed is not difficult, if you do it well, how long will it take?"

Old Liu said, "It will take at least seven days."

He is in business, so he might as well do other things to make money these seven days. If he spends time on this useless thing, he won't make much money and wastes energy.

People in the village don't have much spare money. Lao Liu helps people make some wooden products, and only pays processing fees and timber fees, which is a few pennies each time.If you make some large wooden products, you can earn more than ten yuan.

He also kindly said: "If you want to raise chickens, you can just set up a net, why build such a shed."

The two cubs hugged Yun Yiyi's thighs respectively, but they didn't understand, and looked at Lao Liu with big eyes flickering.

Yun Yiyi summed it up, took a small sling of copper coins from her sleeve and handed it over, her voice was sincere: "This is the deposit, if you can do well, I will pay half of it."

There were a total of 250 copper coins, which were worth more than Lao Liu's income for several months, and the other party actually said that it was just a deposit.

He quickly agreed, after all, no one would give money to live on, but he was muttering in his heart that the third daughter-in-law of the Yan family was really a prodigal.

Seeing that Lao Liu agreed, Yun Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, she believed that Lao Liu could make such a shed.

Sure enough, Lao Liu brought the materials the next day and started building a shed in Yun Yiyi's yard.

The old Liu's house was built by himself. For him, this is not a big deal.He also made improvements according to his own ideas, replacing the roof with bamboo, and the bamboos were densely arranged one after another to make them stronger.

It was originally expected to be seven days, but it was completed five days ahead of schedule.

Yun Yiyi was very satisfied with the newly repaired chicken coop, and paid the money readily.

Old Liu thought that Yun Yiyi was messing around, but after seeing the chickens she raised, he felt even more speechless.

Before he left, he couldn't help reminding: "If you raise so many chickens by yourself, you won't be able to survive much in the end. With such a large investment in the early stage, isn't it all in vain?"

He has been coming to Yun Yiyi's yard to build a chicken shed these days, and naturally found that the other party not only raised hundreds of chickens, but also fed them with good food.Who would do this? An adult chicken can only be sold for ten cents. Yun Yiyi invested so much in the early stage, even if the chickens are raised up, at most twenty chickens will survive, isn't it a big loss.

Yun Yiyi smiled, "It's okay, I'll just entertain myself."

She looks like a prodigal woman, but it's not easy for Lao Liu to persuade her, besides, he also took money from her.

Take people's money and do things for them.

After Lao Liu left, Yun Yiyi looked at the chicken shed and was very satisfied. She poured water under the shed to cool down.

The two cubs also liked those little chickens recently, and splashed water on them with a ladle.

There is no secret in the village. Someone knew that Lao Liu helped Yun Yiyi repair the chicken shed at that time. After all, Lao Liu delayed several people's wooden products.

Someone asked, and Lao Liu replied truthfully: "I am building a chicken yard for the third daughter-in-law of the Yan family, and she paid a lot of money."

Someone asked how much it was, but Lao Liu didn't answer.

But everyone knew that the third daughter-in-law was spending money again. They went up and down and saw the big shed in Shen Yiyi's yard. , Shen Yiyi is really ridiculous.

There is little entertainment in the village, and Shen Yiyi has always been a man of the day in the village. These words are spread to hundreds of thousands, and everyone knows that Yun Yiyi raises chickens alone, and ah, even built a house for the chickens , Can't help laughing at her behind her back.

Of course, Yun Yiyi didn't know these words. She had been focusing on the chickens these days. Seeing that the chickens had adapted to the new environment, she put some straw under the chicken shed to prevent moisture.Now that she is free, she also planted some low vegetation around the chicken coop.

The chickens that Yun Yiyi took out from the backpack were healthier. These days, she found that some chickens had grown combs, and some of them had gained a lot of weight, obviously growing.This sense of accomplishment made her very happy, so she took some medicines that were beneficial to the chickens in her backpack to prevent the chickens from getting sick.

Yun Yiyi also cleaned the chicken coop with disinfectant to prevent infection.

Mother Yan and Sister-in-law Yan were washing clothes by the river at this time, when they heard someone talking about Yun Yiyi, those girls didn't discredit Yun Yiyi, they just said that Yun Yiyi built a building for the chickens because they were bored. room.

A girl said with a smile: "I saw it last time when I passed by. It must be as big as several houses. This is the first time I heard someone repair a house for chickens in this year."

Another girl joked: "Yes, it was built by the carpenters in our village. It is said that it took a lot of effort."

There was no malice in their mouths, but there was some ridicule.It's like teasing a dude who has nothing to do all day but fights with crickets.

Yun Yiyi has always had a bad reputation, and people often talk about what clothes she bought, what jewelry she brought, and she never worked.They are all from the village, but they are as proud as an official's wife.

Now that she is raising chickens, she must be unable to live alone. She never thought that Yun Yiyi is a working idiot, but raising chickens like this makes people laugh.

Mother Yan also heard about the things about the third child's family recently. She secretly said a few words in the house that it was fine, but the family's ugliness should not be publicized. When others said it, she felt weak all over, so she threw the basin into the water and said sharply: " One and two, aren't you afraid of opening your mouth?"

If Mother Yan was also a well-known shrew when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't have managed the Yan family so strictly. Those girls who were not yet married were immediately bluffed and dared not say a word.

Then there was only the sound of washing clothes silently.
