Niu male

After wandering around Niuwangzhuang for two days, Ma Congrong and Duan Jiashu clamored to go to Niujigou again.Let's just take a look, anyway, Lao Zhou didn't point out that he wanted to plant Phellinus to be able to hide it from these two people.

Before going up the mountain, Lao Zhou did not forget to call a duck farmer on the west side of the town and ask him to bring fifty ducklings to him.

It was an old duck raising family. Romon remembered that they had already started raising ducks when he was in elementary school. Although the people in the town were not rich in those years, the economy developed quite fast, and many people started to have ducks in their pockets. The money is gone, and the market competition is not too fierce. It is said that the duck farmer made a lot of money in those years and bought a house and land in Yongqing.

When Romon and the others went to college for a few years, the business became more and more difficult to do. The local people became more active. Those engaged in breeding were engaged in breeding, and those who were engaged in business were doing business. The competition became more and more fierce. Batches of non-local ducks are pouring in. It is said that many restaurants directly take non-local frozen duck meat, and the price is quite low.

In recent years, the concept of healthy eating has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and local ducks have become popular again, especially the Muscovy ducks raised by local people. The price has risen again and again.

Bullock carts come and go in Buffalo Town every day, so it is very convenient to carry something.Lao Zhou here just called to ask for ducklings. The owner of the duck farm over there caught the ducklings, put them in bamboo cages, and brought them to the entrance of the village. Within a few minutes, an ox cart came by.

"Niuwangzhuang old Zhou wants it." The duck farmer said to the driver.

"!" The driver was holding a water bottle to drink water at the moment, and after hearing what he said, he stretched out four fingers to compare.

"Didi Didi." The duck farmer swipe the IC card on his card reader four times, one [-], and [-] times is [-].

"Let him settle the money with you?" the driver asked as he put down the kettle.These drivers, sometimes helping to collect the payment for the goods, are all locals and can be trusted.

"Fifty, do you want to help?"

"Something, I'm short of letting Lao Zhou find you by himself."

"Are you going to Niuwangzhuang now? The duck is afraid of the heat. If you don't go to Niuwangzhuang, help me find a faster car."

"Don't worry, transfer to the Buffalo Pavilion."

"Whenever you are free in the afternoon, bring me five bags of rice bran, and I will give you the money first."

"okay."

This bullock cart does not go to Niuwangzhuang today. It goes down from this village, enters the town, walks along the street until it reaches the buffalo pavilion, and then walks around the town. It has nothing to do and rests early in the afternoon.

Now the drivers in Buffalo Town are generally middle-aged and elderly people who are a little older and whose physical strength has begun to decline.All day long, I drove the ox cart for a few leisurely walks, people are relaxed and not tired, and I can earn dozens of yuan to subsidize my life.

When there are more out-of-towners, they can earn more. Out-of-towners don’t swipe their cards, they are paid two yuan. Many people get on the bus at the station and get off at the buffalo restaurant. It’s only a few steps away. Some people Sit, sit, see something interesting and delicious on the side of the road, just say it and get off.

If you run into a chartered car, that's also very good. Generally, a chartered car is [-] for half a day and [-] for a day. It requires less than five people and does not pull heavy cargo.

Last year, a bull in their town was spotted by a photographer, and he was invited to be a model for three days. He didn't have to do any work, and earned more than 1000 in three days. Everyone dresses up their buffaloes.

It's a pity that such a good thing doesn't happen often.However, if you clean your buffalo well and dress up a little, it will be easier to get a chartered car job, and the chartered car job is also relatively easy. Those who come to travel will stop to take a look at the scenery after a short walk Take pictures, and then buy something to eat. If they want to go to Niuwang Pond, the driver will be most happy, and the buffalo will be happy too. They can eat some grass and drink some water by the pool, and then let those people go there by themselves. Stroll around the village and look at the windmills on the slopes.

On Lao Zhou's side, it took more than an hour to receive the ducklings.

"Is this Muscovy duck?" Ma Congrong knew the species when he saw the ducklings.Muscovy ducks have red noses and a hard red bump on them, and the muscovy ducks here are generally white-haired and big.

"Yes, I have wanted to raise it for a long time, but there is no place." Old Zhou said.There are small fish and snails raised everywhere in Niuwangzhuang, and the ducks will all die once they are released.

"How much is the regular Muscovy duck here?" Boss Duan asked.

"The muscovy duck raised by this family can sell for twenty or thirty per catty. It depends on the market. People in the town don't buy much, but Yongqingtong City buys more." Among those long-term and short-term workers, many people have bought them.

"Then what price do you plan to sell this muscovy duck?" Boss Duan asked again.

"Hey, this duck is not for sale." Old Zhou said with a smile.

People here usually buy Muscovy Duck to nourish the body. This stuff can moisten dryness and detoxify, nourish the spleen and stomach, and it is said that it can also nourish the kidney. The locals are more respected.Otherwise, what's so delicious about this Muscovy duck meat? It costs two to three hundred yuan a catty, and an adult male Muscovy duck can easily cost around ten catties, so it's two to three hundred yuan.

Lao Zhou raised it mainly for medicinal purposes. If the patients in the buffalo house need to use it to moisten dryness and heat, the doctors will prescribe one for them, and it will also increase their income for the buffalo house. Of course, it must be Only the rich can afford it, and the authentic Muscovy duck raised in Niuwangzhuang is not cheap.

"Why not sell it?" Ma Congrong asked.

"The buffalo restaurant needs to use it." Lao Zhou told them.

"Then why don't you raise more." Boss Duan suggested.

"I'm afraid of polluting the environment if I keep too many ducks." Niujigou is mainly used to grow medicinal materials, and a lot of soft-shelled turtles are also raised. If there are too many ducks and the water quality is damaged, the loss outweighs the gain.Raise these ducks first, and then add some more as the situation allows.

A few people said this and went up the mountain, riding three motorcycles along the gravel road next to the wolfberry forest, saving time and effort.

Duan Ma's two bosses were sitting in the back of Lao Zhou's car, and they kept encouraging him to raise more of this authentic Muscovy duck.Only when the output of Niuwangzhuang really increases, their supply will be guaranteed. Like the Huojing persimmons on Niuwangzhuang, they basically want as many as they want now, but these two are based on the principle that the rarest is the most expensive. , don't take too much.

When they reached Niujigou, Duan Ma and his two got off the tricycle, stood at the mouth of the ditch and took a look: "Old Zhou, you are planning to raise Muscovy ducks like swans!"

"It's about the same size anyway." Lao Zhou lifted the bamboo cage and led the way into the Niuji ditch.

This Niujigou is not small, because there are cliffs on both sides, it looks a little cramped, but in fact, if you really want to calculate the area, plus the inside and outside corners, it must be nearly a hundred acres.These fifty muscovy ducks scattered in such a spacious place are really similar to raising swans.

In addition, Zheng Bolun and others are trying their first fog-making system at the moment, which is the position closest to the mouth of the ditch, making it foggy and making this place look like a fairyland.

The mulberry trees planted earlier have grown quite well. This time, Lao Zhou originally bought big seedlings. When they were planted, the Saling Spring water was sprinkled hard. After a few months, the mulberry trees have grown lush and lush. of.

In addition to the mulberry trees, there are large and small water pools in the Niuji ditch. A few of them are about one or two meters deep, and most of them are shallow. After planting aquatic plants, these aquatic plants are growing very well now.

Looking up, there are clusters of Dendrobium officinale growing on the stone walls on both sides, and they are all in good shape. For these Dendrobium officinale, the long-term workers on Niuwangzhuang often play as Spider-Man, but wait for this fog-making After the system is completed, the irrigation problem of Dendrobium officinale will be solved.

The sunshine in early autumn is particularly good. The stone wall is filled with fairy grass, green trees and clear water. The mist at the mouth of the ditch is blown by the breeze and drifts into the ditch. If the angle is right, you can sometimes see a rainbow.

"Old Zhou, it's better not to raise this muscovy duck, but to raise cranes." Duan Jiashu joked.

"What can cranes be used for, and they can't be sold for money. Lao Zhou, to be serious, let's raise a few swans." Ma Congrong was not in the mood for joking.

There are also people who are engaged in swan breeding now. Gray swans and black swans were raised by people a few years ago, and now I heard that even big swans are raised by people. This thing is valuable in the first place, plus Lao Zhou’s feng shui treasure land, how come It's time to make a lot of money.

"No." After Lao Zhou greeted Zheng Bolun and the others, he took his muscovy duck seedlings and went to the depths of the cattle ridge ditch. He will have to build a duck shed for them here in a while. As for the duck feeding , leave it to Ye Qian for the time being, anyway, it is just a matter of convenience, at most I will give some hard work.

Along the way, Boss Ma and Boss Duan almost broke their tongues. Anyway, Lao Zhou just said one word, not to support them.

Lao Zhouzheng's Niuwangzhuang grows and raises ordinary farm products.The dendrobium dendrobium on the wall of the Niuji ditch is the same, but it has been planted a long time ago, and it is not rare in the market.The Ayue pistachio under Niuwangzhuang is the same, but even if this thing has bred a local variety, the professors from the Provincial Agricultural University are still at the forefront, and it is not Lao Zhou's turn to show the limelight.

Nothing else, this time Phellinus, because it is something that cures diseases and saves people, he planted it as soon as he planted it. It’s nothing to do with the swans, and he is worried that his Niuwangzhuang doesn’t look like a piece of fat?

In the end, being entangled by Duan Ma and the other two was really helpless, Lao Zhou had no choice but to let go of his mouth a little: "I want to raise you yourself, it won't work if there are more than three pairs per person."

"..." Ma Congrong and Duan Jiashu made a pair of eyes: "Five pairs."

"Don't raise it." Old Zhou said.

"That's good, three pairs will be three pairs." It's better than nothing, if you don't raise it, you don't raise it.

"I heard you have to mate to raise that thing." Old Zhou reminded them.

"Don't worry, I'm sure it will be done properly." The Ma family is so deeply rooted in the local area, and this matter is not difficult for him, Ma Congrong.

Lao Zhou asked Ye Qian to talk about ducks, and this guy said that he wanted Lao Zhou to give him a pair of smoked chickens as hard work, saying that when he returned to the army next month, he would bring them back to his comrades, otherwise I have been eating and drinking at Niuwangzhuang for several months, but I haven't brought back any good food for them. I'm afraid that he will be eaten alive by those bandits.

The smoked chicken is the smoked chicken, and Lao Zhou also agreed. Anyway, when Rose leaves one day, Lao Zhou also plans to get something for him to take away, and now he will add a pair of smoked chickens to the list.

Several people chose a leeward stone nest in the ridge ditch, spread some hay on it, built a grass shed, and settled the group of ducklings.

When the three of them were riding three-wheeled motorcycles down the mountain, the car drove to a hillside not far from Niuwangzhuang. A gust of mountain wind blew by, bringing the sound of monks chanting scriptures, which followed the mountain wind. Floats, and then drifts away with the mountain wind.

"Why are you chanting sutras at this time?" Duan Jiashu also knew that the monks had morning and evening classes, and generally they didn't chant sutras much during the time after three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Someone passed away." Lao Zhou stopped the tricycle, listened quietly for a while, and said.

"Oh..." Ma Duan and Ma Duan replied, and didn't say anything for a while.

Although the doctors in the Buffalo House have excellent medical skills and the quality of the medicinal materials they use is guaranteed, it is impossible for everyone to cure their diseases. Some patients are too seriously ill, and some patients are already very old...

Lao Zhou didn't go back to Niuwangzhuang, so he drove his tricycle directly to Buffalo Town. On the side of the road in Buffalo Town, there were already many people standing, and many oxcart tricycles were also parked by the roadside at this time.

The sound of chanting came from far to near, and then a group of monks wearing yellow robes came into view. The young monk at the head was carrying a bright yellow package on his back. Needless to say, the package contained the ashes of the deceased up.

This kind of thing is not the first time in Buffalo Town. Whenever a foreigner dies here, the monks of Pagoda Temple will chant scriptures all the way to send them out of Buffalo Town, from Pagoda Temple to the town bus station.

At the beginning, most of the townspeople in Buffalo Town just watched the excitement, but before they knew it, the novelty had long since faded. Now, the farewell along the way has developed into a solemn ceremony. There are buffaloes in this ceremony. The goodwill of the townspeople is also full of people's respect for life.

This time, it seemed that the deceased had no relatives to attend the funeral and collect the ashes, so he had to send a young monk from the Pagoda Temple to send him back to his hometown.

Fortunately, the transportation is convenient these days, and the Pagoda Temple also has a budget for this. It is actually a kind of practice for young monks to do such things.

"Monk Huizhen is really not simple." On the way back to Niuwangzhuang, Duan Jiashu said with emotion.

"No." Following the rituals again and again, the monks of Pagoda Temple have now completely integrated with Buffalo Town and are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Monk Huizhen was good at management, and this time he won the top ten outstanding beauties in Buffalo Town. Now he is very popular among the middle-aged and elderly people as well as young people.

However, the social responsibility he undertakes with his own power is far beyond that of others.No one can say that this monk is deceitful. Everyone has seen what he did in Buffalo Town. This is the fundamental reason why he can win universal affirmation and respect.

"Old Zhou, when your ducks are bred, sell me the duck liver." Ma Congrong said suddenly at this moment, and the atmosphere was completely destroyed by him.

"What do you want duck liver for? Pretending to be foie gras?" Duan Jiashu bared.

"Don't open the door and look at people." Is he capable of counterfeiting and shoddy things? "Old Zhou, is this duck liver thing going to work?"

"Duck liver is still early, do you want chicken liver?" Lao Zhou asked him.
