The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Entering the gate of the base, you can see that the door on the other side facing the hillside has been opened. The sister-in-law who is herding sheep is taking the sheep out of the forest and walking down the hillside.

Xie Chengzhi said: "We had to clear up the rubble here before, and we discussed and sorted out the road a little bit, but we haven't had time yet."

Zhao Zheng nodded and saw the sheep coming down. He went over to catch one, touched its belly and the horns that had grown out, and said with a smile: "It looks like it's been well fed."

Zhu Xiaomin said: "Although it was a bit rushed last year, the lambs were small and the green reserves were sufficient. This year we need to plan to reserve earlier."

Zhao Zheng nodded, saw the sheep entering the pen, and asked, "Where is the chicken?"

The sheepherder here closed the door of the sheepfold, and the other two sisters-in-law had already brought out the chicken food, blowing the whistle and adding food to the chicken trough.

As soon as the whistle blew a few times, I heard a burst of chicken crows, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings. Hundreds of chickens rushed out of the forest, some even flew, and quickly entered the base through the gate and went straight to the chickens. manger.

Meng Zihao was dumbfounded: "How did you train this?"

Zhao Zheng was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly: "This is the habit you develop when feeding chickens. This will save a lot of trouble."

Meng Zihao looked up and asked: "Is there anyone who has not come down?"

Xie Chengzhi said: "Before closing, the sisters-in-law will go up and shout around. So far, no chickens have been found not to come down on their own, but there are chicken thieves in the village."

"Stealing chicken?" Zhao Zheng frowned.

Xie Chengzhi sighed: "There are rat droppings everywhere."

There are a few Erluzi and some naughty kids in the village.

Lu Mingzheng asked: "Is there any loss?"

Xie Chengzhi shook his head: "From the time when chickens and sheep are being herded, some of us will bump into them a few times in the forest and run away."

This is why several educated youths go to the mountains every day.

Zhao Zheng nodded, a little helpless.

While they were talking, several sisters-in-law had already gone up the mountain and walked around in the forest. They did not leave the chicken behind, but picked up two eggs.

Meng Zihao was funny: "Why don't chickens lay eggs in the nest?"

My sister-in-law also laughed: "There are several grass nests in the forest, and sometimes chickens will lay their eggs there."

Zhao Zheng asked: "How much can it reach now?"

Miao Shiwen took a copy and showed it to him: "Now there are about sixty or seventy eggs every day, which means that sixty or seventy chickens have begun to lay eggs. We will count the records every day and then put them into baskets directly."

Meng Zihao asked: "Just keep these eggs like this? It won't be good for a long time."

Zhu Xiaomin interjected: "We will send it to the county supply and marketing cooperative every ten days."

Meng Zihao was a little surprised to hear that she had already opened up the sales channel.

Zhu Xiaomin had to tell the story of his two trips to the county.

Meng Zihao was impressed and gave a thumbs up: "When we went back, we also said that if your breeding industry is successful, the biggest problem in the later period will be sales. It seems that our worries are completely unfounded."

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "It was a coincidence. We were originally going to inspect the oil pressing mill, but we didn't know we were talking about the breeding base."

Zhao Zheng asked: "Didn't you have any plans before that?"

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "Originally, I planned to talk to the town supply and marketing cooperative first. If the town is saturated, I would then consider the county. Who knew that I would contact the county directly that time."

Meng Zihao smiled: "It goes so smoothly, it seems that this thing can be done."

"I hope so!" Zhu Xiaomin also smiled.

Miao Shiwen said with a smile: "You don't know that every time Xiaomin comes to the base, she has to remind the sisters-in-law to pay attention to the hygiene of the chicken coops and sheep pens, and to spread lime regularly for disinfection."

Zhao Zheng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, what the breeding industry is most afraid of is any disease. Once infected, the whole army will be almost wiped out and the losses will be heavy."

Several people also listened seriously and nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, all the chickens had eaten and had returned to the chicken coop. The sisters-in-law took the collected eggs and counted them and weighed them. Miao Shiwen recorded them and put them into baskets.

At dusk, everyone left the base and went directly back to the educated youth point.

The male educated youths were still taking advantage of the last daylight to rush to the construction site, while Zhang Qiaomei and Wang Xiaoya were already preparing meals.

Seeing that the two of them were preparing clear porridge, Zhu Xiaomin rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile: "Put less rice, make the porridge a little thinner, and add some vegetables. We will bake potato cakes for dinner tonight." He called Miao Shiwen and went to the granary to weigh the noodles.

Zhao Zhengyang joked: "I'll eat potato pancakes at night, be careful I'll be hungry again in the winter."

Zhu Xiaomin poked her head out and said with a smile: "Don't worry, last year was the last year of hunger, and nothing can get there this year."

Meng Zihao asked with a smile: "Isn't it because you want to fill your tube with eggs?"

Zhu Xiaomin stuck out her tongue: "That's a good idea." After weighing the noodles, he said to Wang Xiaoya, "Go to the back and see if there are any lazy ones. Catch one and bring him back to peel the onions for us."

Zhang Qiaomei said funnyly: "Why do we need them to peel onions? I can do it." She picked out a few green onions and sat down at the table to peel them.

Wang Xiaoya said with a smile: "I really have to go and take a look. I heard that eating pancakes makes you more energetic at work." Then she went out carrying a teapot.

Zhu Xiaomin directed Xie Chengzhi again: "There are not enough potatoes up there. Go and get more potatoes."

Xie Chengzhi agreed and went to the cellar to get the potatoes.

Lu Mingzheng went over and asked, "What can I do?"

"Wait to eat." Zhu Xiaomin said without raising her head.

Lu Mingzheng watched her add water to the big pot and reached out to take it: "I'll do it."

"No need!" Zhu Xiaomin opened his extended paw and said before he spoke, "I'll help you roll the potatoes later. That's more difficult."

Lu Mingzheng: "..."

Okay, I almost misunderstood.

Watching her add water and cover the pot, she asked, "Why don't you eat Tan Huang'er?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "Tanhuang'er wants to bake the noodles, and you want to eat them. We can cover them later, and we can do it tomorrow."

"Okay." Lu Mingzheng agreed with a smile.

Hearing that they were eating potato cakes today, Song Zhian shouted through the wall: "Xiaomin, are you really eating potato cakes?"

"Yes, I'll call you soon." Zhu Xiaomin replied loudly.

"Great!" The male educated youths cheered and actually shouted, "Let's work harder and build the wall here today."

"Those boys!" Xie Chengzhi came out of the cellar and shook his head with a smile.

Lu Mingzheng went over and helped him lift the potatoes, wash some and put them in the pot, and put the rest back into the granary.

When the scent of potato pancakes spreads in the air and the night falls, when they hear the shouting here, the male educated youths on the other side of the wall agree and come back happily after a while, fetching water. , wash your face, take the bowl and serve the soup, and start the meal lively.

Song Zhian sat next to Lu Mingzheng and said with a smile: "Today we have built the wall over there, and then the rooms on the east side. In a few days, it will be spring plowing, and it will be easy to grow vegetables there."
