Love delays my farming
Chapter 18 The Mysterious Guest in the Incubator
"Salary?" Long Jiu frowned slightly, and said lightly, "Do you have an income?"
Chu Yao exclaimed, "It doesn't matter whether I have income or not."
Long Jiu smiled slightly, and raised his hand to accurately pick up the big tea mug on the table to drink water.He wasn't that particular about it before, and when he got here, he did as the Romans did.This tea was wild tea that Grandpa Chu bought from the village, and they picked it themselves, kneaded it, and dried it in the sun.Although it is not as mellow and elegant as Longjing Maojian, it also has a special flavor.But for their group of ancient beasts, if there is no spiritual energy, no matter how you drink it, it's the same thing.
As for the tools for drinking tea, of course Chu Yao can use whatever is given to him.
Chu Yao stared fixedly at Long Jiu, the enamel teapot was supported by those long and white fingers, as gracefully as if holding a Ru kiln teacup.It's a pity that the family is not in the right place, and it's just a matter of looking good, and he doesn't dare to have extra thoughts, or he won't have them.
After all, he has already passed the adolescence when he would fall in love at first sight and be impulsive. Reality will teach him what it means to be rational.In the past, he was exhausted from work and had no time to find someone suitable for him. Now he has a place where he can relax physically and mentally, and he just wants to enjoy it.
Long Jiu put down the tea mug, and said: "It was agreed at the beginning, and it will be paid for by board and lodging. Isn't it normal for them to work hard after enjoying the living environment and food here? Besides, how much can you pay them?"
Chu Yao scratched his head. He has never had time to go out to cut his hair, but the clippers bought on a certain treasure have also arrived. Later, he can ask grandma to help him shave directly. ..."
Long Jiu shook his head, and said: "They won't want it, so just do what you said at the beginning. If you think they're not bad, why don't you work on the food."
After thinking about it, Chu Yao simply asked the village head to buy more than 20 adult chickens in the village, including ten hens and more than ten roosters.Only two or three small roosters were left, and all the big roosters were killed. That night, I chopped three of them and stewed a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms. I also added sweet potato noodles, and put a circle of green onion rolls, and served it cold A pot of cucumbers, Wang Xishan and the others snorted satisfied.The remaining few are frozen, and you can eat them slowly when you turn around, and you can't eat the top in one meal.
Moreover, the price of free-range chickens raised in rural areas is not cheap. More than 20 chickens cost him more than 1000 or [-] yuan, mainly because the old hens that lay eggs and protect their cubs are more expensive.His chick is only half-grown now, and it will be a while before laying eggs.You don't have to worry about buying an old hen's eggs at least every day.
After dinner in the evening, Chu Yao took the clipper and went into the bathroom.Half an hour later, when he came out of the shower, he saw Long Jiu still in the lobby on the first floor, talking to Hu Qing.
Hu Qing raised his head, smiled and whistled, "Spiritual."
Long Jiu also turned his head to "look", and then his whole body froze for a moment.
Chu Yao smiled and touched his fluffy head, held up the electric clipper in his hand and said, "Would you like to try it? Lao Chu's exclusive hairdressing, free of charge."
Hu Qing took half a step back, and said vigilantly: "Forget it, don't want it, even if it's free!" Just kidding, his hair is equivalent to the fur on his body. If he shaved it, wouldn't he be bald if he turned back into a prototype?Can a bald nine-tailed fox see it? ?I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed to death.
Chu Yao put away the fader with a smile, and asked casually, "What are you talking about? Why don't you go to rest?"
"It's like this..." Just as Hu Qing was about to say something, Long Jiu answered, "His relative's child wanted to come here for labor reform, but I refused."
Hu Qing choked, "What reform through labor? They're not prisoners!"
Long Jiu paused, "Metamorphosis doesn't work either." Bring a brood of fox cubs over, will the flock of chickens raised by Yang Yang still be alive?
Chu Yao nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, our facilities are not complete here, especially the safety is not guaranteed. Fortunately, adults know where there is danger after all, and children should forget it. We also say Not sure."
Hu Qing quickly explained, "Actually, they are all older children, quite sensible. Isn't it almost summer vacation..." They are all hundreds of years old, so it is impossible to get hurt from such a place.
Chu Yao waved his hand and said: "It's not about the size of the children. We are not a place where you can travel. You came here because Brother Nine said that you can work, and I agree because you are all adults. If it were someone else, I would Don't dare to let it come."
Hu Qing was dejected. He originally wanted to help the little guys in his immediate family through the back door, but he was attacked one after another.
but……
When he saw Xiaobai and Fatty Xiaopang poking their heads on the stairs, his eyes lit up.Children are not allowed to come, pets are always done, right?
"Don't even think about it," Long Jiu could see what was going on in this wicked fox's mind at a glance, and pushed people away, "It's illegal to raise foxes in the human race, especially the one with nine tails, be careful Get locked up in a zoo!"
His voice was relatively low, Chu Yao didn't hear clearly, only heard a fox, and was startled, "What? Did you see the fox?"
Hu Qing: ...
How to say this?
Long Jiu said calmly: "No, he thought it was a fox, but later found out it was a yellow-skinned child."
Chu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good. It's okay for our little Huang Xiaohei to beat the weasel, but the fox may be more troublesome. If there is a fox, what will the chicken do?"
"It can be said," Long Jiu pushed Hu Qing out of the door, and threatened: "Your little thoughts will be accepted, even if there are more people coming here, it will not be your Qingqiu clan, there are so many people waiting in line in the group. "
Hu Qing pouted unwillingly, and had no choice but to leave.
"Hurry up and take a shower and rest, it's already nine o'clock." Chu Yao helped close the door and locked it, then went around to check the window latches, and then led Long Jiu upstairs from the front, and waited for him to enter the bathroom. Feel free to go upstairs.
In a few days, Kang Huiguo helped deliver the incubator lights and the like from the courier in the town, besides these, there were two rolls of barbed wire and one roll of plastic grid.Although it is a household incubator, it is big enough to hatch two hundred eggs in one go, and it is divided into upper and lower floors.
This is a rare thing for the villagers. They raise chickens from their own hens, or go to the market to buy chicks to raise.Only farms will use incubators to hatch.Village head Kang and a group of people who love to join in the fun followed to the island, looking left and right around the incubator.
Chu Yao also bought hundreds of quail breeding eggs, which are the kind of white giants. They say that an adult can weigh seven to eight taels, and the eggs are also big and good-looking.Moreover, quail eggs are also cheap. It is the first time to try hatching and dare not buy too expensive eggs. Quail eggs are better to test the water.
"Just put it in like this?" Village Chief Kang asked, "You can hatch baby quails by plugging in the electricity?"
"Yes," Chu Yao heated up the incubator according to the instructions, put water in it, and put the quail eggs in one by one. "As long as the temperature and humidity are maintained, they can hatch."
"Hey, these quail eggs are also big." An old man clicked his tongue, picked up an egg and looked left and right, "It's much bigger than the ones in our market, it can be two times bigger."
Village Chief Kang was a little concerned. He found out the name of the quail and searched it on a certain treasure, and found that it was quite expensive.It's just that he doesn't know whether the quail is easy to raise, whether it can have meat and eggs, and whether it can bring benefits to the villagers.
Hundreds of quail eggs were put in and the lid was closed.After a while, a layer of water vapor was covered on the lid of the incubator.
Chu Yao smiled and said, "If it is really big and can lay eggs when it hatches later, I will save the seeds for you, and we will raise them for ourselves, and at least add something different to eat."
"Oh, that's a good relationship." The old man nodded repeatedly.
Village Chief Kang coughed, and said, "If it's really that good, we wouldn't take your quail for nothing, and exchange it with chicken or duck later."
Chu Yao laughed and said, "I'll talk about it when the time comes. I don't know if it can hatch and how much it can hatch. If it's really that good, let's change it. If it doesn't work, I'll kill it and eat it myself."
Kang Huiguo said: "This quail is also a good thing. Fried quail and grilled quail are sold in big cities outside. The cheapest is ten yuan a piece. It's just as big as a fist, and there are not many bites of meat. If this can be worth seven or eight taels, then it's really good." It's not bad."
After watching the incubator, a group of people helped Chu Yao make more than a dozen egg cages. Among them, an uncle surnamed Qi, who had worked in a chicken farm before, gave Chu Yao a detailed account of hatching and brooding and feed ratio. thing.
Feed for quail is more troublesome than that for chickens. When chicks hatch, they can be planed and eaten by the hen behind them. However, the young quail are easily frightened because they are too small. How can we make them eat the first ration safely? the most important.
Chu Yao took notes and consulted with the seller of breeding eggs. After buying a few dozen catties of rations, he planned to distribute the rations himself.Quail food is really not cheap, if you are not careful, you may lose money.
It takes seventeen days to hatch quails, and Grandma Chu has taken over the matter of adding water every day to check the temperature and humidity.The old lady looked in through the transparent cover every day, and she was more attentive than Chu Yao.
The weather is getting hotter, and the orchards on the mountain have already produced a lot of fruit.The fruit seedlings dug out were transplanted at the foot of the mountain. Most of them grew well, and a few did not withstand the soil changes, but there was nothing to regret.
The advantage of a big bluestone house is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Now that the outdoor temperature has risen to nearly [-] degrees, the room is still very cool, and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner fan.
The fruit corn planted in the back of the yard has already grown as tall as a person, and the vegetable field has also been thinned out, and it is trying to grow up.There were also a few vegetable plots in the yard of the second small building. They quarreled a few times because of what to plant, and were finally suppressed violently by Sister Xi, so they planted a yard of various tomatoes.
The rice in the field has also begun to head, because the fertility is so high that there is no fertilizer, but Chu Yao is very worried about weeding.It is full of fertility, and it is not only vegetables and food that grow crazily, but also tenacious weeds are desperately accumulating the living space of other species, wishing to grow a foot long in one night.Just weeding these few acres of land almost made Chu Yao bald.
Wang Xishan and the others have been here for almost a month. They only go out once in a while, saying that it is for work, and they basically stay on the island. They jump up and down the mountain every day. They are more active in their work than Chu Yao, the island owner. .
When the first flower of the loofah bloomed, the quail eggs in the incubator finally moved.Unknowingly, the first little quail got out of the egg shell. Instead of running away, it slowly walked to the transparent box cover and observed the surrounding situation.
Long Jiu frowned, woke up from meditation, looked through the wall, and looked straight at the incubator in the storage room!
Chu Yao exclaimed, "It doesn't matter whether I have income or not."
Long Jiu smiled slightly, and raised his hand to accurately pick up the big tea mug on the table to drink water.He wasn't that particular about it before, and when he got here, he did as the Romans did.This tea was wild tea that Grandpa Chu bought from the village, and they picked it themselves, kneaded it, and dried it in the sun.Although it is not as mellow and elegant as Longjing Maojian, it also has a special flavor.But for their group of ancient beasts, if there is no spiritual energy, no matter how you drink it, it's the same thing.
