The group of wild geese was successfully captured. Next, Meng Zhaohua and Chen Xiuqing illuminated it with flashlights. Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo and Lei Meng guarded the fishing net, fished out the wild geese one by one, and handed them to Zhao Yongke.
Zhao Yongke was helping to hold the wild geese aside to prevent them from pecking and slapping people with their wings.
The wild geese peck people very hard, and the power of their wings is not small. If they hit people, they can be painful.
Lu Luze began to cut off the wing feathers and tail feathers of the geese, and then stuffed them one by one into gauze baskets.
Wild geese are inherently waterfowl with strong flying abilities. If you want to breed them artificially, you have to either raise them in large cages or set up a sky net to prevent them from escaping.
However, Lu Lu plans to combine captivity and free-range breeding.
The more than 100 acres of aquatic grass wetlands in the wild goose breeding farm can be used as the main breeding site. In addition to eating aquatic plants, insects, small fish and shrimps, the wild geese can also feed various field weeds and crop straws, such as
Soybean stalks, corn stalks, peanut seedlings, etc. are all suitable.
With two thousand acres of fields, you can harvest a lot of corn stalks. There is also a lot of crop straw that can be collected in and outside the villages. For many people, it is just something that can be burned with a fire.
Turn waste into treasure, not to mention food.
In addition, once these geese become familiar with feeding, they can be sent out in large groups to graze in grasslands, hillsides, rice stubble fields, river dams and tidal flats, without even supplementary feeding. In just a few months, they can easily
It can grow to more than three kilograms.
Moreover, after the crops are harvested, there will be a lot of grain scattered in the rice fields and corn fields, and it can all be put to good use.
Management is not that difficult, but this kind of management requires timely clipping of feathers and wings so that it cannot fly.
The most difficult problem is overwintering.
However, with such a large venue and a fire dragon to ensure the temperature, all we need to do is prepare more coal or firewood.
All the geese caught in the fishing net were loaded into the gauze frame. Several people carried them back excitedly, chatting about Zhang Yongbiao's geese catching operation, and they all praised him for his awesomeness.
Passing by the place where the wolf hunted wild geese, Lu Lu used a flashlight to shine.
Food is plentiful during this season and it is easier to obtain prey. The wolves are spread out and many hunt alone.
The wolf he saw at night was just an ordinary wolf and generally did not pose any danger. Lu Lu was too lazy to care about it and appeared near the fishing team. He went back to say hello to Dong Chenggu and be careful.
Just fine.
We stayed one night in a room vacated by the fishing team, and the next day we continued catching geese.
By evening, the seine net in front of the fishing team was filled with densely packed geese. It was initially estimated that there would be several hundred more than the three thousand, enough to fill a full truck.
More than 40 people were rounded up, and the average number of animals per person was less than 100.
Before eating, Lu Lu called all the people back, divided the geese into gauze frames, and then stacked the gauze frames one by one in the car, filling a large car full of them, including those captured last night.
It was all installed, and the wood was specially chopped to heighten the fence to fully install it.
After tying the ropes in the car and fixing the gauze frames, Lu Lu called Zhang Shaofeng, Lei Meng and others to explain the next thing: "Hua Zi and I will take turns driving back in the car. You continue to call for people to capture.
The delay on the way back and forth was too long. When I planned to come back again, I would call three more cars from the forest farm or the motorcade.
When I came back, there were three cars carrying the geese, and another one to help Brother Meng move. I went back to raise the geese and prepare the gauze frames for the geese. In addition, I also took a look at the situation on the farm. I guess it would take a while.
It will be a little slow to come back in two days, and then I will leave the matters here to you."
"Go with peace of mind! We will definitely handle things properly." Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile: "Besides, isn't there Brother Meng now?"
Lu Lu nodded: "Brother Feng, what I'm most worried about is this. Will the people above make trouble for Brother Meng?"
"Don't worry, I know this well, and I wouldn't dare to give them a hundred more courage!" Zhang Shaofeng said with certainty.
"That way I feel relieved."
Lu Lu nodded, thought for a while, and emphasized: "Also, when it comes to catching wild geese, you have to be extremely careful when walking in this swamp. You must not fall into the mud. It is very dangerous. If you are confused,
Brother, you are the most familiar with this place, so you have to give them more guidance.
This place is quite large, so don’t go there if you think it’s not safe.”
After saying that, he paused and looked at Chen Xiuqing: "Don't mess with the eggs here. This time, let's only catch the geese. Don't cause trouble with other things. There are some water birds that are very precious."
, don’t waste it. If you are really curious, just ask the person who helped you to find out more.”
"I know, Brother Lu!" Chen Xiuqing promised: "I won't mess around again!"
"Okay, you guys go to bed early, be careful, keep your head clear at all times, and drink in moderation!"
Lu Lu warned again, then led Yuanbao and the others into the car to the reserved spot for them, closed the car door, and pulled up the tarpaulin.
With so many geese crowded together, Lu Lu even used a knife to cut several vents on the tarpaulin covering the car for fear of causing unnecessary damage due to excessive temperatures at night.
He returned to the small bungalow where he lived, and put the two cranes that had hatched out of their shells last night and had put them in the water for food today into a small cage. The other two eggs that had not yet hatched were placed in a cloth bag.
, stuffed some cotton inside, put it in his arms and carried it close to his body, then called Meng Zhaohua and drove on the road overnight.
It is more than 500 kilometers from Yanwo Island to Xiushantun.
The two took turns driving, not daring to stop except to eat, refuel, and add water.
For such a long time, the little geese in the gauze frame were hungry and lacked water. The time was too long and they couldn't bear it.
The two of them drove as fast as possible, unlike when they came here, where they stopped and stopped.
However, no matter how fast the car is, it can only travel at a speed of thirty or forty yards, and it will go even slower when it encounters a difficult place on the road. With the efforts of the two of them, the next afternoon, they finally drove the car to the sound.
In Meizigou of Shuixi Forest Farm, Lu Lu didn't even stop in front of his own house.
The first thing to do was to ask Zhou Cuifen, Wang Dalong and others to put down what they were doing, pick baskets of geese to the water meadow in Meizigou, and put them there.
The lid of the gauze frame was opened, and a little goose that had spent a lot of time in the car stumbled towards the grass, quacking, and looking curiously at the water meadow in the mountains.
After the group of adult geese were put in, they flapped their wings one by one and wanted to fly. However, no matter how hard they tried, the wings without feathers could not provide enough power for them to fly.
On the contrary, the little geese that entered the water plant mat became excited and ran towards the water plant mat as if they had found their direction.
This water meadow, which had always seemed lonely since it was fenced off, seemed to suddenly have a soul and become lively and full of life.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, brother Zhou, I will leave it to you to take care of this place from now on!"
Lu Lu planned to leave this matter to Zhou Cuifen and Zhou Fangjing: "From now on, what you have to do every day is to release the geese from the breeding ground in the morning and rush back at night. Brother Feng and the others are still on Bird's Nest Island.
We're catching the little geese over there, and in two days we'll have to go there and bring two carts back, and by then there will be more than ten thousand geese, and it'll all depend on you."
There are a lot of geese that need to be raised, and one or two people cannot control them. Moreover, Lu Lu also needs to consider raising them. For such a large number, more manpower will be needed.
"More than ten thousand..."
Zhou Cuifen looked at the wild geese flapping everywhere in the meadow and felt a little dizzy: "This... how can we catch up like this!"
"I will get some corn at home, grind it into flour in the mill, and feed it to you. By then, you will be used to feeding it! From now on, it will be just like herding ducks or geese, it's as simple as herding ducks or geese! By the way...
In the evening, everyone came over to help, otherwise it would be difficult for the four of them to surround the farm."
Lu Lu also explained to everyone by the way.
In the courtyard of the breeding farm, there are several rows of large trees with troughs for feeding. As long as they find a place to eat, get used to feeding, and are no longer afraid of people, it will be easy.
This is why Lu Lu considered small geese instead of big geese, as they are easier to raise when they are young.
Once they become familiar with people, they will flock to them whenever the person feeding them calls them.
When the time comes, management will become simple, but it will require an adaptation process at the beginning.
Hearing what Lu Lu said, Zhou Cuifen and Zhou Fangjing both breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will definitely do this well!"
"rest assured!"
As for the big nose, Lu Lu doesn't need to worry about it. Now he is spending all his energy on the farm. Moreover, with a big guy like Zhou Cuifen at the helm, Lu Lu has nothing to worry about.
Not to mention Zhou Fangjing, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to do things.
Looking at these little geese, they will all be money in the future.
If they were only thinking about their monthly salary before, they are now looking forward to the additional dividends that will be paid at the end of the year.
In the future, Lu Lu will have to find time to teach specific management methods, and this will have to wait until Lu Lu has time.
After the wild geese were released, Lu Lu then went to the deer farm, bee farm and mud ditch to take a brief look at the situation.
The water source is in the deer farm, and a small amount of corn is fed every evening. Now, those sika deer have already developed the habit of going into the mountain to feed in the morning. At night, they can climb to the top of the mountain and knock it with a pot, and they will
The habit of rushing back.
In the forest frog breeding farm, the forest frogs had already completed their metamorphosis, leaving some branches and climbing objects on the edge of each hatching tank, and then followed them into the mountains.
Lu Lu took a look at the hillside. Sure enough, there were many small forest frogs gathered next to the piles of humus used to attract mosquitoes, hiding under the moist humus leaves to provide shade.
Be careful, otherwise, if you step down, one may be trampled to death.
After the forest frogs went up the mountain, the water in the hatching ponds was emptied as required and allowed to bask in the sun, which was supposed to be sterilized and disinfected.
Things in the bee farm are temporarily in charge of Pu Guiying.
Xiao Nizi is quite courageous. After getting the anti-bee screen, she became more courageous.
Lu Lu went to ask around and found out that what Pu Guiying often did these days was to greet the mine bees with a small racket.
She has also learned a lot of basic knowledge of care and nursing from Chen Xiuyu. Although there are some shortcomings, she has done it in a decent manner and can barely cope with it, but she still needs to be taught further.
The most gratifying thing is that it is the flowering period of the lime tree at this time, and the capping nectar is already very full. Pu Guiying has not yet learned how to add honeycombs, so many extra spleens have been built in the beehive.
When we come back, we have to quickly put the honey harvesting and extermination of those mine bees on the schedule. Taking advantage of the flowering period, after harvesting this time, we can harvest honey again.
After an inspection, everything on the farm was in order, and Lu Lu felt a little relieved. He had always been worried that he would cause so many things at once, and that a group of people would not be able to cope with it.
As for the fields, Lu Lu didn't go to see them. He asked Wang Dalong and he had already led the people to finish weeding and fertilizing. The corns were growing very well. If there were no weather disasters this year, it would be a bumper harvest.
Later, Lu Lu and Meng Zhaohua returned to Xiushantun and went to Zuo Songling's house. They handed over the gauze frame matter to Zuo Songling and asked him to find Bai Goucheng and others to help.
These gauze frames will not only be used to pull the geese now, but will also be used when sending the geese out for sale in the future. There is no problem in making more.
After finishing all the work, it was almost evening and Lu Lu could finally go home.
There are still two little cranes that need to be dealt with quickly, and I don’t know if the two eggs will be affected by keeping them warm and will not hatch.
What worried him the most was Chen Xiuyu and her child Lu Zhengyang during confinement.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his steps. He felt like he hadn't seen anyone for a long time and missed him inexplicably.
