In my days as a farmer

Once the spring thunder starts, the rising climate will not be as shy as before.After the lowest temperature exceeded 8 degrees for the sixth consecutive night, Xia Dongli moved all the big white chickens in the house to the outside.

He checked the Internet, and the small white chicken at home with an astonishing growth rate should be the one with the most strange reputation among all chicken breeds.Most people may not be able to respond to their name, White Feather Chicken, but if they say [KFC Variation Chicken] [Hormone Chicken], everyone will be able to get some sense of the picture in their minds.

The original owners of the two famous mutated chickens were white-feathered chickens. Because of their astonishing growth speed, this specially bred broiler chicken became very popular in the era of genetic discoloration.

Xia Dongli now also feels the shock of the people of that era—but for more than a month, when the other chicks and ducklings brought back in the same batch had only grown in size and were still tweeting with yellow fluff every day , They have grown to a size that can be slaughtered, and they are strutting around the house shaking their cockscombs.

The feed he feeds is not even the special feed configured by the farm. If there is anything special, that is, he feeds insects that have been boiled and dried, and he can go out for two steps to bask in the sun when the weather is good. .

This growth rate is simply enough to make the other chickens feel ashamed, but he doesn't know if the other chickens are ashamed or not. It is true that the three little cocks have started to bully the other chickens.

In order to maintain the harmony of the chicken flock, Xia Dongli could only arrange for them to separate.

That's right, he didn't intend to slaughter the three big white chickens, but he planned to continue to keep them.Frankly speaking, this is not a rational decision.As broilers, white-feathered chickens are bred for their feed conversion rate and growth speed. Their fast-growing bodies do not match their body functions, and they are prone to disease outbreaks in the later stages of breeding.

Moreover, the poultry of Xia Dongli's family were collected from other farmers and had never been vaccinated. Their disease resistance was lower than that of chickens in farms.

But the first litter of chicks is different. To put it a bit hypocritically, they accompanied Xia Dongli and Rice through the initial unfamiliarity of life, although now that they have grown up and their appearance has declined, it is not as fun as before. , but the relationship foundation is still there, Xia Dongli still plans to raise them until they marry a wife and have children and die.

Although the meat grows fast, the maturity age of the white feather chicken is about the same as that of ordinary chickens. At that time, it can catch up with other ordinary chickens that grow up slowly~.

...But the three big white chickens are all roosters, which means he has no eggs to eat.

In order to make up for the blank period, Xia Dongli went to the village to collect two pullets who were laying eggs. Coincidentally, the door he knocked on under the guidance of the villagers was the Uncle Dahai who loved to use various farm tools. Home.

They were all acquaintances, so Uncle Dahai caught him two good-looking pullets, and those two calves kicked very powerfully.At first, Xia Dongli imitated Uncle Dahai's posture to lift the wings, but found that he couldn't lift them at all. There was no way, Uncle Dahai helped him tie the chicken's feet together upside down and let him walk back with the rope.

These two little hens were both born in autumn last year, and they will be half a year old in the spring of this year. As long as the weather is slightly warmer, they will enter the peak stage of egg production.In order for the hens to hug their nests with peace of mind, he also brought back two of their commonly used chicken coops, and now these two chicken coops have been stuffed into a stainless steel cage together.

The two newcomers were still angry at being tied up, but after Xia Dongli brought out the worm meal, they immediately adjusted their positions cooperatively, and they remained calm under the eyes of the three big white chickens separated by a cage. Ruo Su picks up the bugs, not to mention how comfortable he is.

Xia Dongli stretched the scissors into the cage and cut the straw rope binding the chicken's paws. He was very careful not to scratch the chicken's paws with a shake of his hands.However, the two little hens didn't care about what the Twolegs did at all. They were so relieved that they didn't move. Even if they felt that they were free, they just kicked their paws and then kept the hen's squatting position and continued to bury their heads Bitter.

"Googoo, chirp, oooh—" The three big white chickens were so envious, they uttered heart-piercing cries to protest the master's partiality, and one of them learned to crow without a teacher.

Xia Dongli, who was attacked by sound waves at close range, could only compromise, and put a few dried bugs in the rice bowls of these few for the sake of just moving.

"Meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat did not have a problem, the goat's head stretched out, his eyes were fixed on the food box in his hand, and Xiaobaa's longing eyes were not too obvious.

"You're a sheep, what kind of bugs do you eat?" Xia Dongli pushed it lightly, but it couldn't be pushed away. Xiao Baa even put her limp head on Xia Dongli's thigh, whispering softly. Continue to babble.

Xia Dongli looked at the dried worms in the bowl, and then at the lamb, hesitating for a moment.

Or, give it a try?Earthworms and barley worms are high in protein, and he has cleaned them all. The worms are all cooked and fried, and there are no parasites. Although sheep are herbivores, they are not completely indigestible.

In the wild, sheep don’t know how to wash before eating grass, so they may also eat insects lying on the grass!

Hmm... there seems to be a good reason!

He hesitated to pick one up with chopsticks, and handed it to Xiao Baa. Xiao Baa opened his mouth to take it without hesitation, his lips closed and bit with a clicking sound, and after a while, he opened his mouth again, signaling more.

No more.

Xia Dongli screwed the box on very coldly.Just taste it, why does this cub want to eat it openly?Just Xiaobaa, who is about the size of a pastoral dog, really eats seriously, and it’s not enough to fry all his boxes.

Little Baa expressed dissatisfaction with its owner's stinginess and eccentricity by snorting through its nose. It looked around to make sure that the rice was not there, so it simply threw its head up and fell to the ground, and began to play tricks.

Xia Dongli: ==

He looked down at Little Mea rubbing its freshly washed white fur on the ground, and turning its feet up to the sky, turning left and right, with a gradually subtle expression.

Is this what a sheep should do?Are you showing your belly so casually?What about your dignity and vigilance as a herbivore?

Damn it, but the belly hair looks so soft, Xia Dongli, who is used to pawing dogs, finally couldn't help it, and stretched out his sinful hands to rub its fur belly.

When bathing Xiaobaa a few days ago, he couldn't find shampoo for washing sheep. He could have used dog shampoo for rice, but the rice rolling in the mud was too dirty. He couldn't help pouring out too much when washing the dog Some, it's not enough for Xiaobaa.

So Xia Dongli had an idea and took out the laundry detergent for wool.

Sheep, like dogs, generally don’t lick their wool. The wool laundry detergent he bought is also used to clean the delicate branded products on his body. The main feature is pure natural extracts that are mild and low-irritating. It should be the same for sheep, and it should be okay to wash it once in a while.

As it turns out, this wool laundry detergent is totally worth its price.Although Xiao Baa is a young goat, its fur is fluffed up, like a sheep in cartoons. It is fragrant, soft and smooth, and the pure natural wool is very easy to stroke.

However, before Xia Dongli rubbed it a few times, he felt the muscles in his belly shrink. Xiao Bae suddenly turned over and lay on the ground, kicked hard with his hind feet, and the whole sheep jumped forward. Then he ran to the door of the house and got in.That's not to mention, it raised its hoof and closed the pet gate that was originally opened, and it closed with a loud noise.

Xia Dongli's question marks were answered when he heard the sound of the small battery going uphill.

He kept his squatting motion and slowly turned his head.Sure enough, Assistant Xiao Li drove over in the shape of big and small bags, and he waved at Xia Dongli from a distance, with a big smile on his face: "Xiao Xia, your fertilizer subsidy has come down!"

Some people, although they have good tempers and good looks, are just obsessed with animals and don't like them.

After discovering that even the five chickens who had been chatting with each other shrank silently to the corner of the cage, and the two little hens even jumped into the chicken coop to hide themselves tightly, Xia Dongli was a little speechless. He looked at the young man who was stopping the small battery.

Assistant Xiao Li who didn't know what kind of "grand" treatment he had received:?

His eyes scanned the entire courtyard without any trace, and he was a little disappointed when he didn't find the furries.However, Assistant Xiao Li is very professional. He took out an envelope from the canvas bag he was carrying and handed it to Xia Dongli: "This is your fertilizer subsidy, which should have been paid to your personal account. , but there are many elderly people in our village, and we have to go to the town to get money, so we all find gold."

After a pause, he showed an annoyed look again: "I did it well before, but I forgot to ask if you want cash or transfer. If it is inconvenient to use cash, I will transfer it for you tomorrow?"

Xia Dongli didn't care about this, he took the envelope very readily: "It's okay, I just ordered some fences, and I can use them when the payment is made."

Assistant Li Wenxian knew Yayi: "After that, if there is a subsidy, I will punch you directly. Is it okay to just punch the card you paid the rent on?"

Xia Dongli responded immediately.The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Assistant Li paid more attention to the waist of the city kid, and then said with some admiration: "I wanted to remind you to put in organic fertilizer quickly. Take it to the basement, and if you miss this time, you will spend money to water the ground, but you have already done it."

"It was Uncle Dahai who sprinkled it for me when he borrowed the agricultural machinery." Xia Dongli responded casually, but as soon as he finished speaking, Assistant Li's expression became weird. He couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why? gone?"

Assistant Li's expression showed a look of struggle, and he turned his head and coughed dryly, and said softly: "Xiao Xia, Liu Dahai's character is fine, but your field here is not very good, but which one of the opportunities we borrowed from the town All models are available, so if he comes up with the newest model one day...you remember not to pay for it."

=w=

Uncle Dahai, your personal image seems to be a bit bad!Even Assistant Xiao Li knows that you like to drive the latest cultivator and be the brightest uncle in the countryside?

And he had already paid for it, and had a good time playing it.Last time, although Uncle Dahai came up with the latest machine, the money he charged was a little more expensive than before. Xia Dongli felt that he wanted to make his own money more because he wanted to find someone who could borrow a good machine. The excuse... Ahem, it's better not to tell the assistant Xiao Li who is eager to remind you.

Seeing Xia Dongli nodding obediently, Assistant Li felt a little worried.

He glanced at Xia Dongli, who had slender arms and legs and was honorably injured not long after he came to Xiaojin Village, then at Xia Dongli's machine-cared-for land, and then at the few scars on Xia Dongli's hands. Putting a Band-Aid, and looking at the messy courtyard, the young man recalled how clean he looked when he first came to Xiaojin Village, and he still suggested euphemistically: "It's almost time for the busy farming season, if you don't have time, you should hire someone to help." Bar?"

"Help?" Xia Dongli was attracted by the term

"Salary can be settled on a daily basis, and if you do well, you can sign a long-term employment contract." Assistant Li put his hands in the sleeve of the other hand and made a movement of a farmer. He straightened his words, "What do you want to do? Make a decision, and then the other party pays the labor and gets the wages. He is not responsible for your harvest, but only responsible for making it according to your needs. This method is more popular on the farm.”

Assistant Xiao Li was really worried about the first foreign contractor in Xiaojin Village. This kind of young man has no experience, and a random failure may make him give up. To be honest, finding a contractor who is pleasing to the eye is also difficult. It's very difficult, but Assistant Xiao Li is still very willing to rent Xia Dongli here for the entire lease term if possible.

"Of course, you don't have much land here, so you can settle with others half a day." He added, "If you want to recruit people, just post a post on our county official account, explain clearly what you want to do, and leave a mobile phone number , whoever is willing to do it will call you."

Xia Dongli nodded, thinking that this could be included: "Is there any regulation on wages?"

"Hmm~" Assistant Li recalled, and said, "It's about 50-80 for half a day, depending on what you do, and it can be cheaper if you pack meals."

This price is really not high compared to urban wages, but this is a rural area, and this kind of recruitment is a part-time job to subsidize the family. Now this price is a compromise between the employer and the employee.

After sending off Assistant Xiao Li, Xia Dongli went to the Internet to check everyone's recruitment needs, thought about it, and registered an account to send one tentatively.
