Niu male

During this period of time, there were quite a lot of people who came to Mr. Bai to see the malignant sores, and the stone frogs on Niuwangzhuang were also consumed relatively quickly.I heard that the white old man bought stone frogs from Lao Zhou for 300 yuan each. Everyone who originally planned to buy stone frogs from Lao Zhou in late summer and early autumn this year died down.

Except for Fatty Hou, because Lao Zhou still lacks two pairs of stone frogs, so he doesn't need to pay for them himself. To be honest, so what if he has to pay for them himself?He also ordered to get two to try.

After dinner that evening, Lao Zhou helped Liu Yonghui and his wife to continue the essential oil refining work that had not been completed that day. Xiao Shulin had nothing to do, so he took Houwazi to the iron shop to find Lao Chang to play chess.Today's wager is a small basket of strawberries. In May, the strawberry fields beside the creek in Niuwangzhuang began to ripen one after another. Although there are not many strawberries, they can be picked every day.

Houwazi's chess was taught by Lao Chang. Neither Luo Meng nor Xiao Shulin dared to play with him. They were afraid that one of them would accidentally lose and destroy their tall image as fathers. It was the same today. Houwazi and Lao Chang Playing chess in the yard, Xiao Shulin stood watching from the sidelines, talking to Xiao Boss, Aunt Ayun and the others from time to time.

"Battah..." At this time, Luo Xingyou rode a three-wheeled motorcycle into the yard.

"Xingyou, why are you here now?" Li Hailiang's daughter-in-law Lan Yan raised her voice to greet him.

"I just went to deliver the goods. I said there was a courier from your side, so I picked it up by the way." Dawan Village is not too close to the town. If there was a courier from their area, they would go to the town to pick it up Yes, since Luo Xingyou started an online store, it has become much more convenient. When he delivers goods, if he sees express mail from his village, he will bring it back by the way.

"Whose is it?" Lan Yan asked.

"Old Mr. Bai, is he here now, how about you hand it over?" Luo Xingyou had been busy all day, and he hadn't finished his meal yet, and wanted to go home early.

"He's at home, maybe in the backyard. I'll call for you." Lan Yan stood at the door of old man Bai's house and shouted: "Uncle Bai, you have a delivery."

"Express delivery, it's here so soon?" Hearing this, the white old man clattered out wearing a pair of slippers, with his trouser legs rolled up, and his feet were covered with water, as if he had just come out of the bathroom.

"What is this, such a big box?" Luo Xingyou said as he moved the box behind the three-way car into the house for him.

"Hey, nothing important." The white old man waved his hands and asked Luo Xingyou with a smile on his face, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Do you want to eat some at my place?"

"No, no, my wife is waiting." Luo Xingyou declined a few words, got on the tricycle and left.

"Uncle Bai, what are you pretending to do here? Are you also doing online shopping like others?" We lived together in the yard of the blacksmith shop for a while, and Lan Yan and the others knew that the white old man was quite fashionable, and he still learned how to do it when he was old. People bow their heads, and play with a smartphone all day long.

"Some old things, I said forget about throwing them away, the apprentice over there insisted on sending them to me, and they are useless if they can't be eaten or worn. It's a waste of postage, isn't it?"

As the white old man said, he neatly grabbed a bunch of keys from the table, picked out a pair of sharp ones, and scratched open the transparent glue on the outside of the box a few times, revealing the red, yellow and yellow pennants inside, and opened these pennants to the table Looking up, I saw many trophies of different shapes placed under the box.

"Meijuan, come and see, our Uncle Bai has so many pennant trophies here!"

Ai Meijuan is Sun Linmu's daughter-in-law. She was originally dark and thin. After marrying Sun Linmu, she often went to the slopes to help him tend the sweet potatoes in the field. She is pretty, with bright eyes and white teeth, delicate skin, and a personality similar to Sun Linmu's. They don't talk much, and the couple are quiet all day long, working and eating together, and their lives are quite warm.

Lan Yan and Li Hailiang are more extroverted, and because they are about the same age as Sun Linmu, they shared a room with Sun Linmu before, and now the two families are quite close.

With Lan Yan's voice, everyone in the yard, except for Lao Chang and Hou Wazi, went to watch the fun in the old man's house, raring over all his pennants and trophies.

"Why do you have so many trophies? The old Yanzi's house is the same, yours is the same, and Lao Chang's is also the same. Our room is empty. I am embarrassed to ask you to sit in next time?" The old man of the Ma family looked at this and then looked at it. Um, I suddenly felt like I had become a backward person.

"Hey, mine is just for fun. One of them defends the family and the country, and the other hangs the pot to help the world. We can't compare with them." Old Swallow laughed.

"Don't dare to take it, I'm just a layman, what are you talking about hanging the pot to help the world? Oh, old man, I have studied medical skills for decades. Although I dare not say that my hands are rejuvenated, I can already be regarded as a glimpse of the door. Now I am said to be a doctor. Specializing in treating malignant sores, hey..." After all, one person's power is limited, and if he wants to justify himself, Mr. Bai has to rely on the power of the masses.

"That's a compliment for your good medical skills. Even the malignant sores have been cured." Boss Xiao grinned, with a taste of gloating: "Songlin, come and help Uncle Bai hang these pennants on the wall."

"Hey, don't bother, just leave them alone, what are you hanging them for?"

"There's nothing to put it down. Hanging on the wall can keep out the dust. Look at your empty wall. Hang these pennants and put these trophies on it to make it more lively."

"That's right, hang them all up." All of a sudden, everyone was busy with their hands and feet. There are quite a lot of pennants and trophies in this big box. Almost all of them are hung on the walls of the front hall of the old man's hut. When it was full, there was no place to put the trophy, so Xiao Shulin took a few wooden boards from his old man's house, nailed a shelf for him temporarily, and fixed it in the most conspicuous place. A row of shining trophies.

At this time, a certain city in the north.

"What's wrong with your master, why did you send those things?"

"If the old man doesn't tell me, how can I know?"

"Didn't he dislike these things before?"

"It's because he doesn't like it, and he doesn't like to participate in the activities organized by the industry. He said he wanted trophies. I searched for them, but there weren't many, so I had to move a few for him from my side to make up the number."

"..."

Keke, back to Buffalo Town.

Ever since the old man decorated his living room, the people who came to him for medical treatment would have a more dignified look on their faces every time they entered the living room, and they would be more open about paying money. The old man's mood Slowly getting better again.

"Sister, I heard that you have a place called blacksmith shop. Is there a shop there that specializes in treating malignant sores?"

"Yeah, he's usually at home in the afternoon, so you can just find him."

"Is it working? It's an old problem for me. I have been tossing and turning back and forth for many years, and I spent a lot of money."

"Why doesn't it work? It is said that one post will be effective."

"So powerful?"

"That's right, they still have to win a lot of awards. You'll know after a while. There are so many pennants on the wall that you can't even hang them."

Not long after, many people heard that in Buffalo Town, Tongcheng City, there was a place called Blacksmith Shop, and there lived an old man who was the most powerful in curing malignant sores. As for the pennants, the trophies are all placed on a shelf...

On Niuwangzhuang, when the local rice seedlings grew strong enough, Lao Zhou led someone to put a batch of crab seedlings in it. Last autumn, there were many kinds of crabs left in Niuwangzhuang. Began to study the cultivation of crab seedlings.

But during that time, apart from going up the mountain to feed the monkeys every day, he also cared about the mushroom planting in Shangshui Village and some chores in the courtyard. He couldn't take care of the cultivation of crab seedlings. Four-Eyed Boy said he wanted to try, so Luo Meng let him do it.

He didn't have much hope at first, and his requirements for the four-eyed boy were also very low. It doesn't matter if he can't produce crab seedlings. Just don't toss these crabs to death. If the crab seedlings don't come out this year, they can continue to study next year. .

Four-Eyed Boy is full of energy. He said that land is needed to build the cultivation pool. Romon looked at it and found that the hickory seedlings and pecan seedlings and hazelnut seedlings he had planted before are almost ready to be transplanted, so he might as well give them all. Moving to the mountain, the pistachio seedlings are still a bit late, and Romon plans to wait for them to grow stronger before considering the matter of transplanting.

When these saplings are removed, the space is freed. For the convenience of drainage, the cultivation pool is not dug out, but repaired on the spot. It is about 1.2 meters high. There is also a greenhouse on it to keep it warm. It is the coldest winter. At that time, straw curtains were also covered outside.

The four-eyed boy divided the pond into several parts, which were used to cultivate crab seedlings at different stages. Among them, seawater was needed during the mating period of the seedling crabs and the stage before the crab seedlings grew to megalopa. Lao Zhou and The drivers who were pulling goods for Boss Duan and the others discussed it, and asked them to help bring some Haishang Niuwangzhuang at a relatively low price.

After that, Lao Zhou didn't take much care of it. At most, he went to put some spiritual spring water occasionally, but Xiao Shulin often went to have a look.

Unexpectedly, some crab seedlings were actually produced by him. Although most of them died in the process due to lack of experience, the crab seedlings were produced anyway. They were put into the rice fields this spring. Old Zhou After looking at it, I felt that the quantity was not enough, so I called to order another batch.

After this incident, Lao Zhou had to admit that the young people were indeed motivated. Later, several students from the third high school asked the glasses boy and the fat man to see if Niuwangzhuang would accept long-term workers this year. Nodded, planning to select a few seedlings to cultivate well.

In addition, Lin Kuo also greeted Lao Zhou, saying that he was too busy alone and needed one or two helpers. Lao Zhou promised to pick two good ones for him when this year's graduates went up the mountain in June. of.

This year, Niuwang Village has reduced the planting area of ​​lotus root and planted more rice, most of which are japonica rice and a small part is glutinous rice. Luo Laohan still grows all glutinous rice.In the past, people here didn't like to grow glutinous rice because the yield of glutinous rice was low, and they could only grow it once a year. Now, Niuwangzhuang only grows rice once a year anyway. The price of glutinous rice is good, and the benefits of growing glutinous rice are relatively higher. .

There are people in the village who grow rice for two seasons, because Wu Zhanfang harvests indica rice in the village, and the price is not bad. If you work hard for one season, you can earn more money.

This year, there are quite a few people who grow lotus roots in the village. Whether it is lotus root fields or rice fields, many loaches are raised. In order to provide feed for the loaches in the fields, almost every household in Dawan Village now raises earthworms.

Everyone just digs a hole in their own yard, fills it with some bottom material, and then introduces earthworm seeds from Niuwangzhuang. Usually, if there is nothing to do, they throw some food on it. A fence has to be built around the side, otherwise the earthworms will be eaten up by chickens and ducks before they grow up.

No one raises snails, probably because the price of snails is not very affordable. Lao Zhou thought that the crabs in his field are very good at eating snails, and the snails raised in Xiaoshulin Reservoir are not enough to sell. However, there is no place to raise snails in Niuwang Village for the time being. After thinking about it, Lao Zhou put dozens of catties of snail seedlings into the small stream in the town. Can you collect more snails and bring them back? If it works, I will continue to release them in the future. If it doesn’t work, I have to forget it.

In the spring of this year, there were quite a few people in Buffalo Town who put this seedling and that seedling into the creek. The upstart Wang Dasheng wanted to pour a pot of soft-shelled turtle fry into it, but was stopped by everyone's concerted efforts. The pot of soft-shelled turtle Put it down, can the small fish and shrimp in the stream still survive?

Speaking of Wang Dasheng, this old boy has been playing with Niuwangzhuang again recently.

"You said that your place is only this big in total. Many calves are born every month. Can you raise them by yourself?"

"It's okay for now." Lao Zhou squatted on a rock by the stream, passed a few strawberries in the stream, and ate them slowly one by one.

"Then in the future, we have to find a way, right? You don't want to sell it to a beef cattle farm." Wang Dasheng also wanted to pick two strawberries to eat, but San Mao, who was not far away, was staring at him with radiance, so he had to give up. Yes, this Sanmao recently found a part-time job for himself to show Lao Zhou's family strawberry fields. In addition to three meals a day, Lao Zhou can also give him some strawberries and dog biscuits as snacks every day.

"Just say what you want to do." Old Zhou didn't believe that this guy would worry about the whereabouts of these calves in Niuwangzhuang for him if he had nothing to do.

"I just thought, if you can't raise the buffalo here, you can borrow a few from the people in our village, and then they will feed the cows and milk them, and you can just accept the goods." Wang Dasheng said.

"..." Lao Zhou stopped talking. It's not that he hasn't thought about this kind of model. It's just that if he asks others to help him raise cattle, he's afraid that the final quality control will be overwhelmed. But if it all depends on Niuwangzhuang, his scale It has to be restricted, and there are more and more calves, and the future whereabouts is also very problematic.

"Well, give me two strawberries." Seeing that Lao Zhou didn't say anything, and Wang Dasheng didn't force him, he reached out and asked for two strawberries from him to eat. Sanmao who was not far away saw this scene and didn't move.

"Each cow needs three thousand catties of rice as collateral, and I will take back the calves that are born in the future. These cows will also have to return to Niuwangzhuang when they are old." After a long while, Lao Zhou finally made a decision.

"It's okay to take back the calf, but you have to give some compensation. It takes more than nine months to conceive a calf." Wang Dasheng fought for the interests of his fellow villagers.

"Cows can still produce milk in the first three or four months of pregnancy. The price of each calf, the price of buffalo milk, and some breeding regulations will be written in the contract at that time. You can take it back to your Wangjiazhuang first. People look at it."

For the heifer this time, Lao Zhou intends to sign a contract to clearly state the obligations and rights of both parties, just like the heifer before. No, both parties can propose to terminate the contract at any time. As long as the cow is still alive, all the rice used as collateral will be returned.They will also go out to spot checks from time to time. If they find that there are frauds or serious irregularities in operation, they will terminate the cooperation at any time, and will not cooperate again if it is serious.

"Three thousand catties of rice, is it as big as those bulls before?" If it was really that big a female buffalo, it would be more than the price of three thousand catties of rice.

"That's right, the calves raised by Niuwangzhuang are good, and the milk quality is more guaranteed." The conditions he opened here are good, and there are more people who are willing to raise their buffaloes. Relatively, they have more choices , Who will lend his own buffalo to whom? In the end, he has the final say?

"Okay, when can you draw up the contract?"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll send it to your store." When Lao Zhou sent the monkey boy to the kindergarten tomorrow morning, he could drop by.
