Chapter 20 The Chicken Out of the Shell

Occasionally, someone accidentally hurt his hand while harvesting, and bought some anti-inflammatory drugs and trauma medicines, and the control over the drugs was relaxed again.

This year there is a severe water shortage. Although we have tried our best to irrigate, the harvest is still not ideal.Here is black soil. Although it can only be planted once a year, due to the fertile land and long growth cycle in previous years, it is generally higher than the one harvest in the south. However, the corn cobs harvested this time are all the size of a palm, and the corn kernels It's so shallow, I'm afraid I won't get back the grain after selling it, and basically lose money.

Bai Zhu and Feng Han took the opportunity to buy a ton of corn without spending 300 yuan, so they kept it to feed livestock.

When the first chick broke its shell, the two big men caught up with their wives and had a baby. They stared at the side from the beginning to the end. The childish voice of the chick made the person feel uncomfortable, and let the hair dry. Put it into a cardboard box and keep it warm on the top of the kang, maybe an incubator, the temperature is stable, and the hatching time of the chicks is also very stable.

I heard from the old people in the village that some chickens need two or three days to come out, while those in the incubator hatch almost at the same time. It still feels amazing that the chicks that have been hatched for less than two hours are running full of cardboard boxes and screaming at the top of their throats.

Obviously yesterday was still an egg, but this day's kung fu is alive and kicking.

After feeding the specially bought feed for young chickens for a few days, the little chicks are different every day. When the little chicks grow from finger lengths to the size of palms, the ducklings will emerge from their shells.

The grown-up duck is not very good, but the little duck is a rare cute creature.It just so happened that the chick was not as good-looking when he grew up, and the duckling was born as a new favorite. He climbed on the top of the cardboard box and looked at the duckling inside. Feng Han said: "Do you think this is the crystallization of the two of us?"

The one who answered Bai Shu was of course the first one to burst into chestnuts.

Ducks are only two or three days old, and goslings are born. Chickens, ducks and geese are all milky yellow when hatched from their eggs. God knows what they have gone through to grow up so ugly.

Geese don't need too much maintenance, just cut some grasses and mix them with feed.When Feng Han couldn't stand the smell, he took out all the houses and put them in the pen that was set up before, and the livestock finally looked decent.

There is very little green now, so the two simply use several sets of seedling racks in the greenhouse to plant grass in the seedling trays, and feed them with crushed corn and a small amount of feed every day.The same is true for cattle, sheep and pigs.

I heard from the old people in the village that it is best to cook the feed in a big pot for pigs to grow quickly, but this one needs a separate big stove.

Zheng Meiyu hasn't come here since that time when she was deflated at Feng Han's side. After all, children nowadays have strong self-esteem, Feng Han obviously doesn't want to see her, and she doesn't need to put her face on the cold ass here.

On the contrary, Zheng Meiyu's mother often came to visit, and told Bai Shu that her childhood sweetheart should see more. Zheng Meiyu was so angry that she simply packed her bags and left the village. Some people said she went to school, and some said she went to work. Where did she go? Nobody knows.

The autumn harvest is in full swing, and now it is all mechanized. It only takes a while to use a special harvester for one acre of land. Although the corn stalks are wasted, there are factories that need to burn straws to buy the crushed corn stalks.The corn stalks are directly compressed into bricks in the field, and the bill can be settled immediately after being thrown into the truck and pulled away.

Although there is a lack of firewood, the corn cobs from the corn plus the dead branches and pine leaves picked up from the mountain are enough to burn.

Watching the autumn harvest come to an end, Bai Shu had just thrown a handful of chopped pastures to the chickens, ducks and geese when he saw a four-wheeled cart driving directly to the door.I only recalled it when I asked.

There has always been an unwritten rule that if someone rents the land, half of the firewood in the field should be sent to the owner every year, so as to save the owner from not farming the land and having no firewood to burn.In recent years, corn has been grown in the village, and the yield is high and the price is high. At this time, you can see others pulling carts of corn cobs to give to others.

In previous years, Baishu was not at home, and no one asked for firewood when it was delivered. This year is different. When the owner comes back, it is unreasonable to be empty.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Liu." Bai Shu came over to help, there was a large open space in the front yard, so he just dumped the corncobs on the open space.

There is a lot of land in Baishu, and there are several people who rent the land. Uncle Liu is actually Liu Changbao’s elder brother Liu Changwei. He rented Baishu’s land ([-] mu) for a long time. The corncobs were also pulled by several carts, and a hill was piled up in the yard.

"You're welcome. I didn't give it to your family in previous years. This time I will give you more. I won't give you the ones from previous years."

Liu Changwei is a man with a smile in his eyes, he is easy-going, and has a very good relationship with the village, and Bai Shu has a good impression of him.

"Look at what you said, I was the one who said no to it at the beginning, and besides, I may not be able to understand it, so I still have to find it out."

Bai Shu took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Changwei, Liu Changwei took it and lit it and took a deep breath, with a more sad expression on his face.

"What the hell are you talking about? It's not as good as every year. Although there was a drought last year, it still rained twice. This year is good. There has been no thunder for six months in April. If the winter snow falls this year I'm afraid the harvest will be even less in the coming year."

There was no snow for a few days last winter, and the water in the spring itself was low. Coupled with the drought, that is, corn and potatoes could grow, and the rice harvest was less than one-third of previous years.

When Liu Changwei said this, he was not only complaining, but also deliberately said this to Bai Shu, which meant that he didn't plan to rent it again.

Saying this is exactly in Bai Shu's arms, Bai Shu pretended to think for a while, "It's really difficult now, how about it, uncle, why don't you stop renting today, my friend and I will stay in the village for a year anyway, just to learn Farming, anyway, God is not beautiful, even if there is no harvest, I don’t feel bad.”

Liu Changwei waited for Bai Shu's words, he was happy in his heart, but he still had a hesitant look on his face: "Can you do it? It can be a lot of money to plant it in a short time."

Feng Han stood aside and watched the excitement for a long time, and said with a light smile: "We have discussed it. If I don't earn money, it will be mine. If I earn money, we will share it equally. The important thing is not the result, but I want to experience the process of farming."

Isn't this telling people that they are stupid and rich?Liu Changwei stopped persuading him, and happily sent another car of corn cobs.Anyway, there are quite a lot of corncobs left over from previous years, even if they were all given to Baishu master Liu Changwei this year, it would be enough to burn in his own home.

Liu Changwei made a start here, and the remaining two families also sent over corn cobs. One was the corn cobs from the five-acre land of Mr. Li’s family, which meant an extra cart, and the rest belonged to Luo Quangui’s family. No more, no less, neither more nor less, Bai Shu had no other ideas.

It took two days of messing with Feng Han to find enough space in the warehouse next to the pigsty to stuff all the corncobs in.Although there is little rain, if the next rain is really hard, it will be drenched, and it will not be dry within ten days and half a month, so hurry up and fix it while it is not raining.

As the saying goes, no one expected that just as Feng Han and Bai Zhu put away the corn cobs, the heavy rain would come.The dark clouds rolled over with overwhelming momentum. After a few thunderclaps, the wind blew up, followed by pouring rain. The rainwater that hadn't had time to seep into the soil washed out gullies on the ground, even though it was already in the autumn harvest. In the future, this rain will be enough to make the farmers cheer.

Although Bai Shu didn't farm the land, she was also happy to see the rain outside, and when she turned her head humming something, she saw Feng Han's worried face.

"what happened?"

Feng Han shook his head without answering, thought for a while and said: "Let's build a basement."

When building the building before, a five-square-meter cellar was dug underground, but Feng Han meant to build a basement, which would have to be expanded exponentially, and it was another big project.

Bai Shu also supported it in his heart, but all his ideas started from his pockets: "We have a lot of preparations, and we don't have much money. I'm afraid the basement is barely enough."

"It's not too much." Feng Han said, "There was a lot of cement and bricks left at home, and it won't cost much if we take our time. And it's not on the basis of the previous cellar, but on the other side. A big one, anyway, it’s raining heavily outside and can’t go out, it’s boring, killing time.”

Bai Shu nodded in agreement.At the same time, another job has to be completed on schedule.That is greenhouse cultivation.

In fact, it is also convenient, at least much simpler than farming. First, use sponge to raise seedlings in the seedling tray.Tuck it into a planting basket when it gets bigger.The equipment for soilless cultivation has a complete automatic water exchange system. After the planting is completed, it is only necessary to blend the nutrient solution.

It is very convenient, but the workload of the three greenhouses is hard enough.Every morning, two people grow plants in the greenhouse, a small part of which grows flowers and most of them grows vegetables.Flowers are still planted in special flower pots, so they can also be sold in the market. As long as the flowers bloom beautifully, there will always be people who like them.The rest are vegetables and Chinese medicine.Vegetables can be sold wholesale, and they can be sold in autumn, and the medicinal materials can be stored for a long time after drying.

The heavy rain has not stopped, from morning to dusk, and with the sound of rain all night, it is morning and another cycle.The best materials used in the two-story building are installed with foam boards, which are very good in terms of sound insulation and warmth retention.But some voices can still be heard.After getting used to it in the first few days, even a shallow sleeper like Feng Han can fall asleep peacefully.

It has been raining for several days, and the temperature is also dropping day by day. Some people come to the clinic to get some medicine for colds because they can't keep warm enough.

But because of this, the news in the village is also more well-informed.The rain had already drenched the dry ground, but it still had no intention of stopping.
