My 1995 Small Farm

 Horse pig, gelding, capon…

There are not many people doing this kind of work in the countryside. There are always a few in every village.

 Those who have a good position will always be found and remembered as soon as they mention it.

 Just like Chen Sangui among carpenters, they still don’t have such a person here.

 That is to say, the price of pigs has been good in the past two years.

 There are many people who come to the countryside to collect pigs.

The pig maker has become more popular than in previous years.

 Good breeding pigs used for breeding pigs will naturally be more popular.

Having said that, the price of pork these days is not as transparent as it was in later generations. The price difference between urban and rural areas and between regions is sometimes scary.

 There are not a few people who get rich by going to the countryside to collect pigs.

 In the past two years, many people have been thinking about business on pigs.

There are people like this in Kuliu County next door, because there are many pig farms there.

By the way, there are also many people who breed large breeding pigs.

 In addition to breeding pigs in pig farms, he also takes pigs around and breeds them to make money.

 Chen Ling actually doesn’t want to raise pigs on a large scale in the village. The pig manure is so smelly that it smells like ten miles away in the wind.

 It’s hard to live close by.

 Compared to pigs, dogs, cattle, horses and sheep, they are really not lovable.

But if the villagers ask, he will help wherever he can.

“It’s not what I said. Since you are all free and engaged in breeding pigs, why don’t you engage in cattle matters?”

 Chen Ling still encouraged the villagers to raise more local cattle, saying: "Autumn is the time for breeding cattle. If the cattle are paired, they will have calves next year."

 Autumn is not only the peak season for breeding pigs, but also a good season for breeding cattle.

The cattle bought by the village this year are now ready for breeding.

Even the calves we bought are now in heat.

 Although it is generally said that cattle will not fully mature until they are one and a half years old.

 But for those who are strong and develop early, it is not impossible to get them pregnant early.

 The local cattle are small in size and are not dangerous.

 “What are you doing? Don’t even think about matching cows this year. There are still fights in the village over this matter.”

Wang Lishan shook his head, and the others started to curse.

 Chen Ling's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he thought to himself that there seemed to be something to eat, and he quickly asked what was wrong.

“The family named Guang caused trouble. His bull was so screwed up that it rode all the heifers in the village. I really killed his grandma..."

 Everyone cursed together.

The family named Guang was not welcomed in the village after having a quarrel with Chen Ling in the past two years.

How did you know that raising cattle is so attractive?

How well does the bull in his family raise it? From a human perspective, it doesn’t look that good either.

 It's far worse than the one from Chen Ling's family.

Unexpectedly, many heifers in the village are approaching people's homes.

　　When grazing cattle on the riverbank, as long as a person is not paying attention, he is worthy.

  Lasted for more than two months, the village was busy planting wheat and picking wild fruits during the autumn harvest without much rest.

They are all old people and children herding cattle.

 During the day, there was Erhei wandering around with his pack of dogs, but no one dared to come to the village to steal cattle.

 So it’s very worry-free.

 The result was such a fuss.

　　When they were finally paired, I don’t know which family’s cow the Guang family’s calf was paired with.

 But the completion of mating does not mean that the mating is successful.



 In the beginning, no one dared to tell whether their cow was pregnant.

Who would dare to take a cow for breeding in this situation?

If you are already pregnant, you will definitely hurt the cow if you try to breed it with a bull.

 If the ox of the Guang family had not been matched, she would not have been pregnant this year, which would have delayed the work for another year.

The key is that his bull presentation is not very good.

 It makes me sick just thinking about it.

I went to the east of the village to talk to the Guang family about this matter. Unexpectedly, the Guang family’s mother-in-law said that people can’t control the matter of livestock.

　　It made people very angry, and they started to take action without saying a few words.

First the mother-in-law fights with the mother-in-law, and then the man fights with the man.

Wife-in-law fights are fine, but when gentlemen start fighting, sometimes things get serious.

 So many people came out to intercede.

Although the large family named Guang is not popular in the village, it is not that they have no relatives...

I think back then, a few of them with foreign surnames came to Chen Wangzhuang because they were fleeing famine or doing something else. They were helpless and the village was full of people named Chen and Wang.

 Families with foreign surnames must be closer together.

Now not only are these families related to each other, but they are also related to the Chen and Wang families, as well as to other villages and counties.

If someone really wants to intercede, the matter will not be a big deal.

 But there was always a fight, which made the chickens and dogs jump.

“Come on, let’s just let this matter go. It doesn’t matter whether his bull is good or bad. It’s always good to be pregnant. I’ll find a good buyer for you next year and I’ll make more money by then.”

Chen Ling said with a smile.

But he decided to turn to his good brother Liang Yuemin again.

 He basically lacks everything now, he doesn’t value money much, and he has no desire to make a lot of money.

  Only very dedicated to local scalpers.

 Compared to how important cattle are to him, raising wasps seems to be a casual thing.

“Hey, once we say the word wealth, our hearts feel at ease.”

 The villagers grinned honestly and happily.

As long as Chen Ling finds a seller, anything will work.

　　If this matter remains unresolved, I don’t know whether I will lose or make a profit. Even if the price of scalpers fluctuates slightly, I will always feel uncomfortable if I lose money.

 When it comes to breeding cattle, naturally I like to find bulls with good quality for breeding.

 Similar to raising pigs, you want the piglets to grow quickly, well, and have more meat. Take it to the mule and horse market, and you won’t have to worry about selling it.

“Hey, look, the fox is out, look here on the pit in the big pit... Wealth and honor, as the old saying goes, foxes are friends with dogs, foxes are friends with dogs, your little Jin won’t really get along with the fox, right?”

“It looks a bit similar to me. Heiwa already had a litter with a wolf, so why can’t Xiaojin have a litter with a fox?”

“Go, go, it’s nonsense, these foxes are still playing with my little white cow.”

 Chen Ling said, holding Rui Rui and leading Hei Wa, Er Hei and a group of dogs to the back of the Earth Temple to see what was going on.

  Komori and the kids also quickly followed.

The adults were a little hesitant. They were afraid of getting too close and making Xiao Jin anxious. From now on, they would have to wait to be bitten by dogs every day in the village.

It’s almost impossible to live in the village.

 Chen Ling waded through clumps of tall wormwood and walked down the pit. The fox was indeed not afraid of him. It barked twice and ran around the trees with small steps.

Little Jin was also wagging his tail at him in front of the fox hole.

 When he saw something was wrong, he walked over and took a look. It turned out that another litter of fox cubs had been born.

 There is nothing more to say.

 Foxes have survived the winter and will go into heat and mate as soon as the weather warms up. In autumn, they will give birth to fox cubs.

 Sometimes there are many robbers in a litter.

 As for how many people can survive, it is difficult to say.

For example, when Chen Ling met this female fox for the first time, their whole family was almost killed by badgers.

 “Dad, little fox…”

 “Yes, little fox, come down and take a look at the little fox inside.”

Chen Ling put him down and squatted at the entrance of the cave to watch.

Xiao Sen and the others wanted to follow them, but Xiao Jin, who was always gentle to the kids, whined softly and showed a fierce look.

They were so frightened that they did not dare to come forward again.

Chen Ling also waved his hand to tell them not to come down.

“Uncle, there is a fox under my crabapple tree. Please help me catch it next time you come here. There is no gate in my yard, and foxes always come in.”

 “Okay, I’ll let you have a look next time.”

 Chen Ling responded and took Rui Rui to play in the big pit for a while, then went to look at some big trees that were covered with egret nests, and dug some Jerusalem artichokes for the brat before going home.

 After staying in the city for more than ten days without coming back, Chen Dazhi planted fruit trees on the **** of his house.

So after having lunch at home, I took Ah Fu and Ah Shou to go for a walk in the mountains.

Dig some suitable saplings and plant them.

This time I took Afu and Shouyi into the mountains, which was very different from the last time.

　　When I brought Ah Fu Ah Shou to the mountains, all the beasts were restless, including bold jackals and rampaging wild boars, all of whom dared to provoke me.

Those jackals would even drive wild boars in the direction of Afu Ashou.

 At night, he went down to the farm again to take revenge.

 But this time it’s different.

Last time I came back, Afu and Ashou had several hunting experiences in the mountains. They caught deer, wild boars, and pheasants...except for not hunting wolves, everything else went well.

The beasts in the mountains knew that these two big guys were not easy to mess with.

 Coupled with his return this time, Afu Ashou's size has grown a lot, and the suppression of the bloodline of a high-level predator is fully revealed.

 Chen Ling found that this time when he walked into the mountains, everything was quiet.

Even the birds can only hear the flapping of their wings, but not a few bird calls.

 Afu and Ashou’s eyes also changed more and more obviously.

Yellow-brown pupils exude majesty and sharpness.

And spontaneously began to patrol the territory, marking the location with urine from time to time.

 This is like an instinct engraved in genes, something that is innate.

 Just like a hunting dog.

 When the time comes, you will know what to do.

 Hand born to be the king of beasts.

 After seeing blood many times, he finally gained a bit of the king of beasts’ demeanor.

 Naturally, all kinds of wild animals are frightened so that they dare not show their heads.

“Okay, our Ah Fu Ah Shou finally looks like the king of beasts.”

 Chen Ling touched the heads of the two tigers happily, and then tried to ride Ah Shou again, but found that he still couldn't help it.

 It will still be some time before riding a tiger to patrol the mountains.

 It is a South China tiger after all.

　　Not a Siberian tiger.

If it were a little bigger, it wouldn’t be necessary to exceed the breed limit and grow to the size of a Siberian tiger, just long enough to be able to carry him on his back.

Tiger is very powerful, and the South China tiger is actually not that small.

 But after all, the tiger is not a beast of burden.

Compared to a tiger, a packhorse is so small that even a person can ride on it.

 So it depends on what it is.

“Let’s go, now that these people in the mountains are honest, let’s go for a walk in the depths!”

Seeing that Ah Fu and Ah Shou were able to frighten all the beasts in the mountains, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel proud and suddenly forgot what he had planned in the morning.

 When I got interested, I wanted to explore those sinkholes again.

 The saplings there are growing well, the mushrooms and fungus are also plump and plump, and there are many undiscovered treasures waiting to be discovered.

As a result, as we walked toward the Daqinling Mountains, we found that there were even more big and small beasts here.

When he noticed the two strange guys coming, Ah Fu and Ah Shou, he immediately exploded and ran away in a hurry.

There are mountain donkeys and wild sheep galloping on the cliff.

 There are alert herds of sika deer.

 There are fragrant deer basking on the grassy slope.

 There are a group of dishonest jackals who are probing their heads...

There was even a human-looking black bear, with its belly resting on its belly and walking unsteadily upright. After seeing Chen Ling and the two tigers, he hurriedly pretended not to notice, swung his buttocks and waded away in the stream.

 Wherever he goes, the animals retreat.

This refreshing feeling is simply indescribable to outsiders. (End of chapter)
