There is a store in town that specializes in selling chickens, with a very high survival rate. Li Qingyun has heard about it from his family before, but he has never seen it, because his previous ideals and raising chickens have never been sidelined. He has raised chickens at home, and there are still several chickens.
An old hen, earthy yellow in color and very fat.
However, the chickens Li Qingyun wants to raise are definitely not ordinary chickens like this. He has checked several chickens with good returns on the Internet, but they may not be available locally. The specific situation will have to be discussed with the local government.
In the early morning, Li Qingyun was cleaning the car by the pond. Li Yuncong and Mao Dan were holding small fishing nets to fish out dead fish by the pond. After spreading quicklime powder, the entire pond was indeed much cleaner. The water is now very clear, and the underground spring water gushing out has accumulated a lot of water.
How tall is a foot? Some miscellaneous fish fry hiding in aquatic plants or mud cannot stand the toxicity of quicklime, so they surface and turn their bellies.
While scooping water, Li Qingyun secretly put in a few sprouted lotus seeds to test the pH of the water. Because quicklime is a strong alkaline substance, if the content is too high, although it can kill many viruses, the plants will also be killed.
, cannot survive in strong alkali. However, this strong alkali value will gradually weaken over time.
If the lotus seeds can survive normally, you can increase the water level and put a few eels in. If the eels do not die, it means that the water quality has returned to normal and you can put in a large number of seedlings. However, Li Qingyun has already raised the eels to half size in a small space.
She has strong adaptability and can adapt to the environment even if it is not good.
After cleaning the car, I was about to go to the town, but I saw Tongtong running up with a piece of snow cake. He was far away, so he shouted sweetly: "Uncle, I can ride in your car."
?"
"I'm going to town. I won't be back for a whole morning. Have you told your family?" Li Qingyun was afraid that her father would not be able to find anyone, so she hesitated.
"It's okay, no one cares about me anyway. I've been very anxious at home these past two days, and there are no good cartoons to watch." Tongtong seemed to have a lot of resentment when he mentioned this matter, and his mouth was pouty.
Li Qingyun smiled and didn't take the child's complaints seriously. People in the village were busy at this time. After his cousin came back, he lost his wife and couldn't hold his head up. The good-looking aunt scolded him a lot. But the uncle was here
He teaches in the town and does almost no farm work. How can Tongtong fare well in their family?
"You wait. I'll go to the kitchen to get some steamed buns." Li Qingyun can find something for breakfast anywhere. But the little girl in front of him probably hasn't even eaten breakfast. How can eating a few snow cakes ward off hunger?
I was lucky. Not only did I get four buns, I also grabbed a box of milk that Li Xiaochu had warmed. After Tongtong took it, he was polite at first, but when he smelled the fragrance, he could no longer control his hunger and wolfed it down.
I stuffed it into my mouth, choking and rolling my eyes several times.
"Eat slowly, uncle, there are a lot of delicious things here." Li Qingyun felt sad and greeted Mao Dan, telling him that he had taken Tongtong to the town to play. If Mumu comes looking for him, he will tell him about Tongtong.
whereabouts.
However, Li Yuncong threw away the fishing net, ran over and got into the car with a playful smile, and said: "I have been busy for so many days and I am exhausted. Anyway, there is nothing much to do today, so why not go to the town and have a look."
Originally, we were going to pick vegetables today, but Shuxiangge said that they haven’t finished the vegetables they pulled last time, and they probably won’t be able to come here until tomorrow morning. Li Qingyun was a little worried when he mentioned this. It seemed that Shuxiangge and his family could not be expected to digest their own green vegetables.
Vegetables, Shuxiangge’s digestion capacity is limited.
The last crop of vegetables was still the first crop, and the real peak production season has not yet arrived. For example, if we pick vegetables today, we will probably pick four to five thousand kilograms. If we postpone the picking to tomorrow, we will probably pick even more.
It seems that the original plan is about to change. No matter what, only by joining the competition can we maintain vitality. Didn't Fumanlou cry and shout all day long to buy his own vegetables? He will give Tian Mu a call tomorrow.
While thinking about these things, Li Qingyun had already driven the car onto the road. Tongtong was as happy as a sparrow, chirping in the back seat.
Li Yuncong couldn't help but look back at her and asked Li Qingyun in a low voice: "Brother Fuwa, is this Mu Mu's daughter?"
The news that Mu Mu had brought his daughter back to the village had spread in the village. He heard that his wife thought he had no money and ran away with her. Before leaving, all his savings from working for several years were taken away, leaving only the girl Tong Tong.
.Therefore, Tongtong was not welcomed by her grandmother, and almost all her resentment towards her mother was directed at her.
It's only been two days since I last saw him, and he seems to have lost weight again.
When Li Qingyun heard Li Yuncong's question, he immediately smiled and said: "Big head, you can't see anyone outside now? Are you asking secretly? Yes, this is our niece Tongtong. When she gets married in the future, you will also need a dowry."
"..." Li Yuncong was sweating and said with a strange smile, "She has a father, why should we uncles worry about her?"
Tongtong had just finished eating when he heard what Li Yuncong said was unpleasant. He immediately became unhappy and shouted in a sweet voice: "The uncle is my little dad. If you don't prepare a dowry for me, who will prepare it for me? The dowry must be included in the dowry."
There are a lot of delicious things, including watermelon, grapefruit, grapes, bananas... in short, there are a lot of delicious things."
"..." Li Yuncong was speechless again and muttered, "It's your auntie dad, not your baby daddy. You have found so many baby daddies for yourself, does your mother know?"
"..." This time it was Tongtong's turn to be confused, not understanding what Li Yuncong meant.
Li Qingyun couldn't stand listening anymore, so he slapped Li Yuncong so hard that he lost his head and cursed: "Why are you so serious about your child? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap you."
"Hey, I'm used to it." Li Yuncong rubbed his big head and stopped trying to squeeze Tongtong.
But Tongtong pouted and said seriously: "Uncle Big Head is a bad guy! Not as good as Uncle Fuwa. Bad guy, bad guy, his head must be getting bigger and bigger..."
This time Li Yuncong was honest and didn't dare to bully the little girl again. Because if the little girl gets violent, she will scold you until you lose your head and face, and you can't really hit her.
When they arrived at the market, Li Yuncong bought her a bunch of candied haws of water, so Tongtong let him go temporarily.
Every time there is a market, this cross street will be filled with all kinds of things. It is difficult for pedestrians to pass, and it is even more difficult for vehicles to pass. I heard that the town is going to build a ring road outside this cross street. In the city, it is called
Ring road.
This is what I heard from my cousin. These days, she has been dealing with the problem of pond pollution and often meets with Mayor Wu. On the other hand, she has not contacted Mayor Wu for a long time.
The reason why the road to Lijiazhai was not paved with asphalt in time was to be constructed at the same time as the ring road in the town. Li Qingyun didn't care about this. As long as there was a way to go, that was a matter for highway design experts. At worst, he would just drive a pickup truck to take a detour.
.
After finally making it through the crowd, we reached the stone bridge to the west of the intersection, parked the car on the side of the road, and asked someone about the specific place where the chickens were sold.
The residents who lived in the town were very familiar with this and pointed Li Qingyun in a direction, saying that he could directly see the gate of the chicken seller.
Walking south along the river bank, it turns out that only one of the houses built on this road has a gate with a courtyard wall, which is really easy to recognize. This road is very wide, but it is uneven, full of potholes, and full of stones. It is dozens of meters away from the Xiandai River.
If the wind is strong, you can hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
The gate was very wide, and Li Qingyun drove directly into the yard. The yard was very lively, with many people coming here to buy chickens. There were voices, bargains, and laughter.
However, most of these people came on foot or on bicycles. This was the first time someone like Li Qingyun came by car.
Originally the boss had no time to talk to him, but when he saw that he was driving here, he came over to say hello warmly regardless of whether he was a big customer or not.
The owner of the chicken farm is a middle-aged man, in his forties, who smells like chicken. He smiles with white teeth: "Boss, are you here to buy chickens too? Some ducklings have been hatched recently, I think.
You can take a look if you want."
Li Yuncong took the lead and shouted carelessly: "Of course I'm here to buy chickens. We just built a chicken farm. If you have any good chickens, bring them all..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Qingyun suddenly pulled him back.
"You thought you were ordering food, and you brought them all." They are all from the countryside, and most of them have simple personalities. Unlike the bosses in the city, they can joke around and bargain at will. When dealing with unfamiliar people, it is best to act honourably.
.
Sure enough, the boss first flashed a flash of anger, and then returned to normal after seeing Li Qingyun teach Li Yuncong a lesson.
"Boss, we want to buy some chicks. I don't know what kinds of chicks you have here. Please introduce them to me. If you like one, you can buy about a thousand." Li Qingyun politely offered a cigarette and asked.
The owner of the chicken farm took the cigarette, clamped it on his ear, pointed to the chicks in the surrounding cages and said: "You can't smoke here. Come on, follow me in and take a look. We don't have many varieties here, most of them are at home.
Just keep them for fun. I haven’t seen anyone like you who wants about a thousand at a time for several years.”
"But recently, by coincidence, I just came back from studying advanced experience outside. I spent a lot of money to learn the incubation technology of green-skinned laying hens. However, the cost is too high. It takes so many days to hatch. Ordinary people find it expensive. Let's see if it works.
Interested." The boss called Li Qingyun, walked through the chicken coop and customers outside, and entered the house.
In a large chicken pen surrounded by mats, there was a patch of black chicks, which were larger than the beige chicks outside. They seemed to have been raised for a few more days. Tongtong had been following Li Qingyun, and saw these black chicks.
The chicks he had picked up suddenly shouted: "Uncle, these chicks are so ugly! They are all covered in gray, they must be very dirty. How about we buy those little yellow chicks outside? The chicks outside are beautiful."
As soon as the boss heard Tongtong's cry, his face suddenly darkened, almost blacker than the down of a green-skinned laying hen. He said anxiously: "Boss, don't listen to the children's nonsense. This batch has hatched more than 800
Only, the chicks have been raised for seven or eight days longer than normal chicks. I will definitely make a profit when I buy them back. The green eggs I bought cost three yuan each. Adding the loss and normal dead egg rate, the cost price has nearly doubled. This
If you buy all the black-feathered chicks, I'll give you six yuan each and sell them at a guaranteed price." (To be continued...)
