[179] The life of a peasant is a bit bitter, but very happy
After the man entered the office, Li Bu and Li Xiaomu sat in front of the tea table and began to enjoy the tea the man made and the snacks he brought out.
While drinking tea and eating snacks, Li Bu suddenly looked up at the man in confusion and asked, "Swine fever has been spreading everywhere recently, which has made everyone afraid to eat pork, so your bamboo rat business must be very popular, right?"
"
"It's a little better, but it's just like that. After all, bamboo rat meat is not pork and everyone can accept it."
After replying to Li Bu with a smile, the man added tea to Li Bu and Li Xiaomu and continued with a smile; "The live broadcast you did last night is said to have cost tens of millions. With this money, you
What kind of pigeon breeding farm is there? You can’t make much money raising pigeons and it’s tiring..."
"I raise pigeons without expecting it to make me any money. The main thing is that I just feel good about being able to stand on the dovecot and release pigeons every day after a busy day, and then watch the pigeons soar in the sky..."
Li Bu did tell the truth this time. He did not expect to make money by raising pigeons. He simply wanted to raise pigeons for fun, and this was a small wish he had in his previous life and this life.
In his previous life, when Li Bu was studying, several of his friends had pigeons as pets. Although his relationship with them was not very good at that time, Li Bu was fortunate enough to visit their homes and see them letting pigeons fly.
At that time, he set a small goal for himself. This goal was that when he grew up and had his own house, he would also build a shed for raising pigeons, and then raise pigeons himself.
Some pigeons came to play.
It's just that this wish didn't come true in his previous life. The reason why it didn't come true was because he was always busy making money and enjoying the world, and he didn't know when he got so busy that he forgot about this little wish.
In addition, the apartment he owned that was worth tens of millions at the time could not raise pigeons at all. Even if he raised them, he could not let them go, and even if he let them go, it would be impossible to get them back, because the appearance of his suites in each building was exactly the same.
It's hard to find the way home.
And it was precisely because of this regret from his previous life that when Li Bu thought of raising chickens and ducks in the orchard, he incidentally included this little regret from his previous life.
After hearing Li Bu's words and thinking about Li Bu's own conditions and worth, the man nodded and said, "That's right, with your current worth, there is no need to make money by raising pigeons.
However, even if you are not raising pigeons to make money, I still want to guide you on a few issues you should pay attention to when raising pigeons.
There are three things you should pay attention to when raising pigeons.
The first point is that after you buy the pigeons, they must be matured for at least a month before they can be released, and you cannot release them all when you release them. It is best to separate the male and female pigeons when releasing them, and only release one pigeon from a pair.
Helps pigeons return home.
Secondly, it is best to put something around the pigeon cage to prevent wild cats, foxes, weasels and mice, because once these things enter the pigeon cage, the pigeons inside have almost no chance of survival.
The third point is that pigeons cannot be kept together with chickens, ducks, geese, and small birds, because they can easily get bird flu when they are together."
"Well, I have remembered all of this. By the way, when it comes to feeding pigeons, I only feed millet, corn, soybeans, and peanuts. Is that okay?" After writing down the man's opinions, Li Bu asked about feeding again.
.
Knowing that Li Bu raised pigeons for fun, the man nodded and said, "You're not using them for competition anyway, so just feed them. Of course, you can also feed them some feed and sediment occasionally."
.”
"Feed, sediment, um, I wrote it down."
After smiling and nodding to indicate that he had written it down, Li Bu asked the man again how to pair pigeons and prepare pigeon nests, and then the two of them discussed it for half an hour.
When the two of them were almost finished discussing, a worker from the pigeon farm came in; "Boss, the pigeons are ready. Should we send these pigeons to the customer, or did the customer take them away themselves?"
Upon hearing his worker's words, the man turned and looked at Li Bu.
Seeing the man looking at him, Li Bu took out his car keys and pressed the lock, then said with a smile, "Just help me load it into the van, but you have to lend me the cage. I'll give it to you when I go down the mountain tomorrow."
Send it over, this should be no problem, right?"
"Of course it's no problem. You are such a big star. Do I need to worry that you will eat a few of my cages?" After hearing Li Bu's words, the man waved to the workers to load the truck and smiled.
Nod to indicate no problem.
Li Bu bought a total of 120 pigeons this time. This number sounds like a lot, but in fact it is only four or five cages. They were placed on Li Bu's trunk, and they looked empty inside.
After the pigeon was packed, Li Bu directly transferred the money to the man, and then made an appointment with the man to drink tea and play wild games together next time he was free, and then drove Li Xiaomu and the pigeon directly to the town in a van.
After arriving in the small town, Li Bu first went to an old acquaintance and bought a dozen roast ducks and geese.
Then he went to an old acquaintance and bought some cigarettes, drinks, yogurt and liquor, and then drove back to Lijiacun.
When returning to Lijiacun and passing by the intersection, Li Bu left a roast goose and a box of beer for Li Xiaoye, and then started the car again and went up the mountain.
After returning to the village, Li Bu first sent Li Xiaomu home, and placed the cigarettes, wine, and roasted duck and goose he bought back at Li Wanfu's house. Then he took a roasted goose, a box of yogurt, and a cart of pigeons.
I drove directly to the orchard.
Ranran was playing with the big yellow dog at the gate of the orchard. When he saw Li Bu's car coming, he immediately waved his little arms and shouted happily: "Uncle Li Bu, are you here to play with Ranran?"
"No, uncle is here to work, but he brought us delicious yogurt and delicious roast goose." After parking the car, Li Bu got out of the car, kicked the big yellow dog away, and picked up the little boy.
The guy smiled and replied.
At this moment, Li Wanfu and his wife both walked out of the orchard; "Boss, you are here. Hey, boss, what is in your car? Why did I hear the cry of pigeons?"
"You heard it right, it's the sound of pigeons. I bought one hundred and twenty pigeons and came back. By the way, this roast goose is for you, and this yogurt is for Ran Ran to drink. Go ahead and move it yourself."
After opening the car door with a smile and explaining a few words to Li Zhiyou, Li Bu took out some snacks from the car and handed them to Ranran, and then took her directly into the orchard to play.
After hearing Li Bu's explanation, Li Zhiyou first handed the roast goose and yogurt to his wife, then he pulled the cart over from the orchard, then moved the cages containing the pigeons onto it, and finally
So they were all taken to the dovecot and released.
There were not many pigeons, so Li Zhiyou’s wife did not go with him.
After Li Zhiyou's wife brought the roast goose and yogurt back to the house, she poured two glasses of water for Li Bu and Ranran and gave them to drink.
After taking a few sips of the water handed over by Li Zhiyou's wife, Li Bu teased Ranran and asked her with a smile, "Can you get used to leaving the small town and living here in the countryside?
"
“Although the work is a bit dirty and a little hard, life here is much happier than outside.
And Zhiyou is very good to us, mother and son, and the people in the village are also very easy to get along with, so we are very happy here, and we like it very much." After hearing Li Bu's question, Li Zhiyou
The wife immediately responded with a happy smile.
Li Zhiyou's wife did not lie, she was really happy here.
In the past few years, because they were single mothers, the mother and son had received countless looks and humiliations in the small town.
The gangsters bullied them, the neighbors also bullied them, almost everyone looked down on them, and no one was kind to them as mother and son.
And this is why when she heard that Li Zhiyou was willing to accept Ranran and said that he would raise her like his own daughter, she did not hesitate to bring Ranran to live with Li Zhiyou.
And after such a period of time together, Li Zhiyou also fulfilled his original promise and was sincerely treating their mother and daughter well.
During this period, Li Zhi not only handed over all his money to her for management, but also often asked Li Bu to help buy some children's clothes and toys for Ranran to play with.
Even in order to prevent Ranran's character from becoming withdrawn, he would take them to the village after dinner every day after work, letting Ranran play with the children in the village, and taking her to interact with the women in the village.
