Carrying the Ba Zong's child to farm

Li Ping was so skilled that he caught a chicken in less than 5 minutes.

The flock of chickens was in a commotion and couldn't be calm for a long time. Some chickens were so stimulated that they didn't dare to leave at all.But within a few minutes, there was no longer a chicken in the place where they were standing, only chicken feathers and a few scattered eggs remained.

Zhao Danshi looked at the frightened chickens, squinted his eyes and said, "These chickens are really flying fast and high. Brother, do you think we will raise new breeds if we continue to raise them like this?"

"This has to be judged by Jinshan and Yunyue."

Zhao Shanshi clicked his tongue, "I saw a show, and I checked all the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics, and there is no one whose chickens are as wild as our chickens, wilder than pheasants."

Li Ping smiled, and Zhao Danshi's attention instantly turned to his smiling face, staring at the person intently.

Zhao Shanshi looked at the big rooster in Li Ping's hand, then at Li Ping, suddenly remembered, and asked in surprise, "Brother, has your skill improved?"

Today Li Ping went in to catch the chickens, he almost picked them up with his hands, that's called a neat one, better than Feng Jin and his fellows, who spent a long time catching the chickens that day.

Li Ping nodded, "Did you learn some tricks from brother Haoran?"

Li Ping and Luo Haoran got along quite well, both of them have the habit of exercising, and they usually discuss a few tricks.

What Li Ping had learned before was mainly the more authentic martial arts moves, which were not very effective in actual application, while Luo Haoran's skills were almost honed on the battlefield, and he was able to catch every weak point accurately. Fancy, but extremely practical.

Li Ping fought against him, and was suppressed and beaten by him for several weeks.

Li Ping is young, agile, and quick to react. After fighting for a few weeks, he gradually learned the opponent's skills. Now he is barely on par with Luo Haoran. To completely defeat him, it may take a while longer to practice. .

"I'll just say it." Zhao Shanshi saw that he was holding the chicken, and hurriedly dragged him to the side.Said: "Brother, go this way, let's go to the pond and cut some lotus pods. After growing for so long, the lotus pods inside should grow."

"Have you visited?"

"I haven't seen it, but I heard Uncle Wende say it a few times. It's hot now. It's good to eat some lotus seeds to reduce the fire. The beehive next to the pond is almost ready to cut honey again. When the time comes, I will cut some honey. Make some lotus seed syrup."

Li Ping walked forward with him, the big rooster cooing beside him.

Hens need to lay eggs. They usually eat roosters now, and roosters are bigger and stronger than hens. When they catch people, they are very painful.

When I came to the lotus pond, the ducks were perched in a corner. When they heard the movement of people, they quacked and hid aside.

The ducks in their family are raised and eaten. Now the duck flock is relatively large, and they have not added new ducks, just raising thirty or forty ducks together.

Zhao Danshi glanced at it, and felt that it was time for them to catch new ducks and raise them. They had to eat ducks during the Chinese New Year, and they had to roast some ducks. The current ducks were far from enough for them to consume.

Zhao Danshi remembered this matter in his heart, and planned to talk to Ya Zimei when he went back later.

To catch a new batch of ducks, it is best to catch more female ducks, because they still have to pickle salted duck eggs in their yard.

At present, most of this group of ducks are male ducks, which are good for eating, but there is no way to lay eggs. Some of their salted duck eggs are bought outside, and the quality is far inferior to that of their own ducks.

Zhao Danshi salted the eggs once, so he simply gave up the option of salted duck eggs and salted the eggs directly.

Some late lotuses in the pond are in full bloom, and more have turned into lotus pods. Some lotus pods are already very large. The whole lotus pod should weigh more than a catty, and it is dark green. Some are fresh green with just fallen petals, filling the pond The lotus and lotus pods, with the gentle breeze coming, are so beautiful that people are enchanted.

Li Ping carried the chicken, Zhao Shanshi volunteered to cut the lotus, Li Ping handed him the attached saber.

Zhao Danshi didn't cut too much, he cut three lotus pods, put them in straw hats and was ready to go down the mountain.

Smelling the fresh fragrance of the lotus pods in his arms, Zhao Shanshi couldn't help but said, "I think our lotus pods have grown better this year. The scent is so pleasant."

Li Ping nodded: "This year's lotus pods are bigger than last year's lotus pods, and the quality should be better."

"It should be the credit of Lingquan and Lingfei, but I don't know if Lingquan is useful for rice field crabs. I hope the crabs we raise this year will also be bigger."

Crabs are generally sold by size, and there is a price for each head. If they are too small, they will not be worth the price if they cannot be sold.

Li Ping said: "It should be good. If it doesn't grow big enough this year, we'll set up wintering facilities, raise it for one more year, and sell it next year."

Zhao Danzhi thought, "That's okay, brother, why don't we keep some crabs for experiments this year? Sell the big ones, and raise the small ones for another year."

"Wait until the crabs are bred, and ask Professor Hu and Jin Shan later."

Zhao Shanshi nodded, and when they returned to the yard, Lao Luo brought them a cart of fish in a tricycle.

They are now in a critical period of crab breeding, and they do not feed less meat feed, earthworms, snails, fish larvae... Zhao Danshi, they generally do not feed frozen feed, only feed fresh, the fish these days are authentic reservoir fish, the treatment That's a good one.

Lao Luo looked at them, one was carrying a chicken, the other was holding a few big lotus plants, and he couldn't help but enviously said: "You guys live comfortably, you can eat and drink here!"

"It's been a year of hard work, and it's almost the end of the year. There must be more to eat in the mountains and fields." Zhao Danshi smiled at him, leaned closer to his tricycle compartment, and took a look, "Uncle Luo, you specially sent Xiaoyu here? Today's small fish are fresh enough, are they all live fish?"

"The reservoir was filled with water, and a large net of miscellaneous fish was caught." Lao Luo took a puff on his cigarette, "There are not too many fish, so I didn't sell them, and I brought them all here."

"Hey, thank you. Erhua, you can get some three to five catties later, cut off the stomach and dry it, and let's fry some small fish to eat." Seeing Liu Erhua nodding, Zhao Danshi turned to Lao Luo again, "Uncle, this fish How much is it in total?"

"170 six catties." Lao Luo said, "You guys weigh it again."

Zhao Danshi was not polite to him, and asked Liu Erhua to come out to get the big scale they usually sell vegetables. First, he put the bucket and water scale, then took out his own big bucket, filled it with water, and put the fresh young fish Fished out the big bucket, and then weighed Lao Luo's bucket and water back.

Liu Erhua reduced the two, nodded and said: "Master, the catty is correct."

"That's right." Zhao Danshi smiled: "Uncle, come in for a cup of tea first, and I'll ask them to pay you. It's still three yuan a catty, right?"

"Well, that's the price." Lao Luo nodded, and followed Zhao Danshi to the corridor, "Then I'll come in and taste your tea. I heard that your tea is very fragrant."

"Choose some of the tea trees that I grow at home to drink. It's not particularly fragrant, but it should suit the appetite of our people." Zhao Danshi put down the lotus pod, turned back to bring out tea leaves and tea, and drank tea with Lao Luo.

The old man brought Doudou to play with other children in the village, Old Professor Hu and Lan Yunyue spent time in the fields, Su Jinshan took Zhao Wende and Ya Zimei to serve the pigs and sheep on the mountain, Luo Haoran and the others also went to patrol the mountain with bamboo baskets on their backs , Even Yao Jingming and Peng Yuyun went out.

There are only three in the family: Zhao Danshi, Li Ping and Liu Erhua.

Li Ping grabbed the chicken to kill, Liu Erhua took care of the small fish, Zhao Danshi invited Lao Luo to sit under the eaves, and slowly brewed tea for him.

As soon as the tea fragrance came out, Lao Luo narrowed his eyes, "This tea is so good."

"Then you have two more glasses."

Lao Luo was not polite to him either, and the two of them chatted some gossip while eating salted peanuts.

The salted peanuts were grown by Zhao Danshi and the others.

There are many people in the yard, and the cost of growing peanuts at home is too high. Zhao Danshi planted about seven acres of peanuts for eating and extracting oil. If the oil is not enough, they have to consider using blended oil for the remaining oil.

Peanuts are delicious, usually stewed pig's knuckles at home, fried salted peanuts, fried peanut cakes are all very useful, Zhao Danshi didn't send all of them, but kept some at home.

Now fried salted peanuts are just right, they are fragrant and tough. Throw one or two in your mouth from time to time, and you can chew them for a long time.

Lao Luo asked, "How are your fish and crabs doing?"

"That's it, it's still growing there. I don't know if it's good or not before I taste it." Zhao Shanshi smiled, "I hope it's not too bad, I just fed fish and snails from the reservoir. Rice flower fish and rice field crab, if the quality is too low, I will lose money."

Lao Luo is here, "I can't lose, I know that your fish are good as soon as I walk in front of your house, so I can't lose. But I said that feeding fish in your house is too extravagant. I think they raise fish and crabs. If you use apple snails to raise them, it means that your household is snails and reservoir fish.”

"It's not all snails and reservoir fish. I also added earthworms. Let's forget about apple snails. People don't dare to eat those things. Can the crabs that are fed be good?"

"That's right, your crabs are good, and the price will be high when they are sold."

Zhao Danshi chatted with him for a while, and saw that he kept chatting, but didn't talk about the main point, so he couldn't help asking: "Uncle, do you have anything to say to us?"

Lao Luo was a little embarrassed, with a blush floating on his dark old face, "I just want to ask you if the rice field crabs are easy to raise. If it is easy to raise, I will also raise some crabs next year."

Lao Luo has owned a large reservoir to raise fish, and has been raising fish for more than 20 years. The price of the fish in the reservoir is good, but the water in the reservoir is cold, and the fish don’t grow much meat. After working hard for a year, they can’t earn much money.

The business here with Zhao Danshi was in full swing, and he couldn't help thinking about it.They are mainly irrigation reservoirs, not drinking water sources, so it doesn't matter if they toss in them.

He doesn't ask how much he can earn. If he earns more than [-] to [-] yuan, his family will be better off.

Zhao Danshi smiled, "This thing is easy to raise, and it is not easy to raise, you see, I have invited doctoral students and old professors here, and they are here [-]/[-]. Look at it. The labor cost is high enough. Look at the feed I feed, pumpkin, taro, potato, reservoir fish, snail, and eggs. There’s actually no profit.”

Crabs are quite special. The prices of crabs of different sizes vary greatly. Small crabs cost only twenty yuan a catty, while a pair of large crabs cost hundreds or thousands. There is no way to figure out the way here. come out.

Lao Luo smoked in silence, and asked for a while, "Aren't you making money?"

Zhao Shanshi comforted him, "It's not that I don't make money at all. It's not clear. Uncle, didn't you build a reservoir? You can buy a few hundred crab seedlings to test the water first. The main thing is to raise fish. If they are well raised , you will raise more in the next year."

Lao Luo thought for a while, "Okay, I will try it next year first, and if I raise it well, I will pay for it next year. Do you know where you bought your crab seedlings?"

"My family's crabs are also imported from foreign countries. If you want to test the water, it is not cost-effective to buy crab seedlings of our level. You can ask your son to go to the Taobao store or ask the boss of the aquatic product market. They should know .”

Lao Luo sells fish all the year round, and the aquatic product owner still knows some of them. Hearing this, he nodded, "Then I'll ask."

Zhao Danshi thought about it and said: "The environment here is limited, and the crab species raised are different from yours. If your family raises it, you can ask about hairy crabs. Most of the reservoirs and lakes raise that kind, and the price is also cheap." Higher."

"Hey, let me ask." Lao Luo said gratefully: "If there is any problem in the breeding process, can I come and ask you."

"Of course, you can just ask when the time comes."

Lao Luo came today mainly to ask about this matter, and he was going to go back after asking clearly.

Zhao Danshi kept him, "Uncle, why don't you go back after eating here?"

"No, I still have something to do at home, so I'll come back next time." As Lao Luo said, he poured out the water in the bucket, then slipped onto the tricycle, turned around and said to Zhao Danshi, "Then I'll go back first."

"You go back first, be careful on the road, drive slowly, and when they come back, I will ask them to transfer the money to your bank card."

Lao Luo waved his hand, he was used to doing business with Zhao Danshi, and he still had some confidence in his reputation.

The chicken soup stewed today is Scrophulariaceae Chicken Soup. In addition to Professor Hu and the old man drinking it, Zhao Danshi had to let it cool down and send a copy to the fans who won the lottery.

They drank pork ribs and lotus seed soup for themselves. The pork ribs were pork ribs specially reserved by Zhao Mingzhi's family.

Everyone was still very greedy for the chicken soup in the bowls of the two old men, but no one dared to drink it. The scene of the nosebleed last time was still vivid.

Zhao Shanshi's cold storage has already been built, and the laboratory building is being built now.

The laboratory building has five floors in total, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters. Even though the construction team is already in a hurry, they still don't want to finish it a year ago.

Zhao Danshi and Li Ping were very cautious about this seed company, and the construction requirements were also very high, so the construction process was further delayed.

At present, there are not many experimenters, and there is no need to do dangerous experiments. Zhao Danshi first vacated a villa for them to use temporarily, and the others lived in the collective dormitory.

On September 21st, the first experimenter arrived. This person was Jiang Nanjing, a Ph.D. student from H Agricultural University. He was familiar with Professor Hu and Su Jinshan, and he had heard about Lan Yunyue's name.

Jiang Nanjing's appearance is ordinary, but when he stops there, he has a down-to-earth temperament unique to scientific researchers.

When he first arrived, he was still a little cautious, Zhao Shanshi comforted him, "Don't be nervous, you will understand after staying a few more days, we are very easy to get along with here."

Jiang Nan nodded, and Zhao Danshi said: "I'll take you to the dormitory later, you can tell me if you have any difficulties, or you can tell your brother Li, you will follow Professor Hu for a few days and be his teacher." Can your assistant do it?"

Jiang Nanjing nodded again.

Zhao Danshi smiled and didn't care when he saw his silence.This person is not good at communication, but judging from the papers, he is indeed a good researcher.

The two walked slowly up the mountain, and Jiang Nan was relieved to smell the quiet smell of the trees beside the road.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Danshi thought of something, and smiled again, "By the way, I told you earlier that it may be difficult to come to work here, and most of the time you need to go to the fields to work together, you have to have a mentality Prepare."

Jiang Nan nodded, "I know."

Zhao Shanshi continued: "If you eat in the past few days, you can come to the yard to eat with us, but after a while, you may cook separately on the mountain. Don't worry, we have a chef here, so we don't need you. Do it yourself. I remember you are from Suwu, right?"

"Ah."

"Your taste is relatively light, and you may not be used to our cooking. If you are not used to it, you should tell us in time."

Jiang Nan said: "No, I am used to eating in the canteen, no matter what kind of food I can accept."

Zhao Shanshi smiled, "That's good. Also, our place is relatively remote. There is a small shop in the village, but there are not many things, and the things sold are relatively low-end. If you need anything, you can go to the town to buy it. .We have to go to the town several times a day, and there are cars in the village that go to the town, you can find out after asking.”

Jiang Nanjing: "Okay."

Zhao Shanshi smiled, "That's about it. Anyway, if you don't understand anything, you can ask anyone in the yard."

Zhao Danshi went down the mountain after sending him there. He specially asked Luo Haoran to help take care of Jiang Nanjing so that he would not be inconvenient when he was new.

Luo Haoran nodded, "Don't worry, it will take two days to guarantee that he will integrate into our big group."

When Zhao Shanshi checked his plans for this period at night, he suddenly felt a little worried.

Li Ping asked amusedly: "Isn't everything on the right track now? There is nothing to worry about."

"I feel short of money, people, materials, and everything." Zhao Shanshi sighed, frowning slightly, wishing he could roll on the bed, "Why are there so many people in the yard? I used to worry about Erhua and the others now. They are about to finish their studies, and they are about to become teachers, so it’s not easy for them to do anything in the future, but looking at it now, we don’t even have enough cooks.”

Zhao Shanshi was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, "Seeing that other scientific researchers are also coming to report, we must assign them a chef to help cook. Erhua is responsible for the meals in the yard, and the two fellows, Fu Shun and Mingtai, will learn from each other. If you are not skilled, cooking for Feng Jin and the others is enough to embarrass the two of them, and they usually have other jobs to do, so when the eight scientific researchers arrive, how can we spare them?"

Li Ping said casually: "It's easy to say, just mobilize the people in the yard to pick, wash and chop vegetables together. Anyway, everyone only wants the taste and doesn't care about the appearance."

"In the short term, this is feasible, but we can't do it for a long time, can we? There are more and more people in our yard now, and it's hard to eat small fried food, so we can't go back to the state of the big cafeteria." Zhao Danshi was a little caught Kuang, "Not only are there more and more people in our yard, but most of them are high-end talents. If the problem of eating is not solved, maybe people will run away."

Thinking of this, Zhao Shanshi suddenly turned his head to look at Li Ping, "Brother, do you think it's better for me to continue accepting apprentices or hire more handymen?"

"If you're too busy, let's release the news of the apprenticeship first, and if you're too busy, invite someone."

"If you are busy, you must be busy. The older ones will take care of the younger ones. Erhua, as a senior brother, pay more attention to them. There is nothing wrong with the basic skills of Mingtai and obedience. You can guide the younger brothers and younger sisters. I can guide them from time to time. How troublesome." After Zhao Shanshi finished speaking, he added: "It's just that learning to cook still requires some talent, you can see that Mingtai and Fushun are not as good at learning as Erhua."

Li Ping listened to him quietly, and Zhao Shanshi continued: "Now the smart and hard-working kids have gone to high school and college, and the not-so-smart but hard-working kids are also getting good jobs. I will come to see you." Maybe the cooks here are just dropouts, I don’t look down on them, but the source of students is not good, no matter how good my skills are, no matter how accurate the Watchman’s diagnosis is, I can’t teach good apprentices.”

Li Ping patted him on the shoulder, "This kind of thing doesn't have to be done overnight, just take your time."

Zhao Danshi nodded, looked at the ceiling, and sighed, "It's hard to start a business."

In the final analysis, their current family background is still too weak, and if it grows bigger, it will be full of loopholes.

Li Ping pondered, "If you're willing, we can invite professional chefs to come over. Our business is now big, and we don't need to care about the money."

Zhao Shanshi always felt awkward, "That's what I said, but we are chefs, and we don't open a hotel. It feels too exaggerated to invite other chefs over. I'd better see if I can get a good apprentice."

Li Ping let him be entangled, and went aside to read a book by himself.After Zhao Danshi struggled, he also picked up the tome he read yesterday, and began to chew on the book seriously.

Although they all graduated from prestigious universities, among the doctoral supervisors in the courtyard, their background is too shallow, far from enough to be seen.
