Love delays my farming

"In the future, the job of breeding quail on this island will be left to you... Pfft, hahaha!" Hu Qing laughed silently, and with a flick of his finger, he threw a small quail far away.

The little quail rolled a few times, got up and stood up, and silently hid aside.The Nine-Tailed Fox is the natural enemy of the Fat Relict Bird. Many of my brothers and sisters were harmed by these nine-tailed guys.However, compared to Dangkang, which is more meaty and delicious, their fat left bird can only be regarded as a snack after dinner.

Moreover, the Nine-Tailed Fox is narrow-minded and holds grudges. He sneaked up on this island this time and only wanted to seek protection to survive. He didn't want to be a snack for the foxes.But fortunately, Hu Qing just taunted him and left, probably not daring to eat himself in this place, which made Fat Yiniao's heart sink in his stomach.

Fat Relict Bird shook its wings, looking at the group of little quails running happily in the brooder box, feeling even more lonely inside.He doesn't know how many fat relict birds there are in this world now. Ever since his aura was exhausted and he fell into a deep sleep, he has spent too much energy trying to find a way to come here after waking up.

Forget it, let's talk about protecting yourself first.

Thinking of this, he walked slowly to the trough, ate a few mouthfuls of grain, and drank a few mouthfuls of mountain spring water with a touch of aura, and then went to sleep in the corner with peace of mind.

If Chu Yao wanted to start free-range quail farming, he had to find a suitable place.Quails are timid and easily frightened, so they can't get close to the roads where people come and go, and it's not suitable for the place planned to be used for farming in the future.And quails only live for two years, or actually just one year.The eggs are laid in the first year, and the quail meat can be sold in the second year of fattening.During this period, new quail must be needed for supplementation.

In addition to quail, Chu Yao also bought a lot of blue peacock eggs for hatching.Blue peacocks can be raised privately, and they can be regarded as meat breeding species.But what can be exchanged for peacocks is not only meat, but also beautiful tail feathers.The air on this island is humid and there are many trees, which is quite suitable for raising peacocks.

Peacock eggs are hatched together with duck eggs and goose eggs. Poultry breeding is quite worry-free, and more importantly, it can add a lot of color to the island and increase income for oneself.In particular, poultry farming has a short cycle and quick returns, which may also be suitable for poverty alleviation.

He has planned to grow food and vegetables on all the gentle places on the island, and only the mountainous areas are more suitable for use.After choosing for a long time, Chu Yao decided to build a quail free-range shed on the rocky ground downstream of the stream.

There are many stones in that area, the big ones are as high as a person, and the small ones are scattered on the ground.Some soil has accumulated on the stone beach, and many grasses and shrubs have grown.This kind of place is not suitable for growing crops, but it is very good to build a shed to raise birds.After all, there are "mountains", water, flowers and grass. The fish, shrimp, snails in the stream and the grass seeds and insects on the shore can all become food for birds.As long as he comes over every day to add some grain and bone meal, it is enough for the quail to supplement their nutrition.

In order to satisfy the quail's habit of hiding, Chu Yao also kept some raspberry bushes, and made a few simple nests with hay under the bushes to facilitate the quail to lay eggs.

Hundreds of quails don't need too much space, he only needs to circle an acre of land and divide it into two parts for release, which is enough for the quails to toss.In order to prevent this group of gadgets from being predated by wild animals on the mountain or eagle owls, the shed is also firmly covered with a layer of green protective net.

Quails have to eat brooding food for at least one month. By the time Chu Yao picked more than 200 strong quails and started free-range breeding, the weather was already getting hotter.

He came here at the end of February, and it is now mid-June.After a period of time, the rice can be harvested and the second crop of grain can be planted.

Not only that, but his little ducks, goslings and peacocks also came out of their shells one after another.

Every day, Chu Yao is very busy and fulfilling.Get up at four or five o'clock in the morning and prepare to cook for the pigs and feed the chickens, then weed the rice fields and vegetables, and build quail and peacock sheds.Fortunately, there are a few friends from Long Jiu to help, otherwise, if he is alone, he may be tired and cause some problems.

Although Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei are not yet one year old, they have already seen the mighty and strong appearance.Chu Yao specially built a kennel outside the quail shed, and let Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei live in it to help him raise birds.As for the yard where I live, I can only ask Village Chief Kang to help me find two dogs, preferably a little bitch, who can have a date with Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei.

It was a rare day to rest, and Chu Yao finally had time to take out the small bamboo toy that Uncle An gave him to see how to play it.Xiaohua groaned when she was full and lay down at his feet to bask in the sun.The yard is a bit sunny, but the vines of loofahs and gourds covered the entire pergola before. It would be very comfortable to put a bamboo table under it and a plate of fruits washed by the stream.

Long Jiu sat beside Chu Yao, seemingly hugging the cat to refresh himself, but in fact, his "eyes" were always on Chu Yao, and it was difficult to leave.

Jianmu was like this back then, he had a good temper and was happy every day.His trunk was regarded as a "cat scratching board" with paw prints on it, and the branches became the favorite place for birds, where crows, green phoenixes and phoenixes often landed, and there were many other birds chirping. headache.

Later, he occupied the whole Jianmu and drove away many birds and animals, so that this good-tempered guy could get some peace.

But now, he wants to raise birds again, he is not satisfied with chickens, he raises quails, ducks, geese, and even peacocks!Those silly little peacocks were ashamed and their chirping was ugly, and they were taken advantage of by some people who didn't know what to do or what to do.

But for the sake of the other party being Phoenix, he endured it.

Fenghuang had many fights with the Dragon Clan back then, but he also lost his spiritual energy for the Great Barren Mountains and Seas.These two clans have disappeared for too long, and now seeing the peacock with the blood of the phoenix, even the cold-hearted Zhu Jiuyin can only sigh regretfully.

"Oh, Uncle An's craftsmanship is also great. Isn't this a splicing building block made of bamboo?? It's too detailed!" Chu Yao held the bamboo piece and looked at the half-assembled semi-finished product in front of him, praising it repeatedly.

The small bamboo branches turned into pieces of bamboo in the hands of the bamboo craftsman. These bamboo pieces were spliced ​​together to form a two-story small building with a balcony. There are rooms in the small building, and the doors and windows can be moved. .The small bamboo building can be fixed on a polished bamboo board, and there are many thin holes on the bamboo board, which can be inserted into a circle of fences to build small pig pens and calf sheds, as well as chicken sheds in the front yard and kiosks.

In addition to these, there are small wheelbarrows made of bamboo, small farm tools and small stone mills polished with thick bamboo boards, and there is even a well behind the yard!

This is clearly my own yard, but there is one floor missing.

Uncle An gave two different sets of small yards, each of which is exquisite and amazing. These are simply handicrafts!

Chu Yao suddenly had an idea, he searched for the price of similar splicing handicrafts, and he had a bottom line in his mind, and also understood why Uncle An sent it in person at that time.This is not just a building block toy for two small buildings, it also carries a trace of hope in the hearts of the bamboo craftsmen.

"Ninth brother, come and help me record a video!"

Chu Yao has been here for half a year, and rarely posts on Moments.However, he posted several in a row today. The first one is a mosaic video of the small main building. The text introduction is all handmade. It can be used as a toy or as a handicraft.Then I also posted a video of Uncle An and the others making bamboo furniture and the process of assembling bamboo tables and cabinets.

Soon, these small videos were quickly liked by classmates and colleagues. Only then did they know that Chu Yao had resigned and returned home to work in agriculture.Immediately afterwards, people began to ask about the price below the video, and others asked if other styles could be customized.

Chu Yao finally laughed out, and he suddenly had a sense of accomplishment, which could not be replaced by doing more business before.

"What are you laughing at?" Long Jiu asked.

Chu Yao became interested and said, "Many people have inquired about the price of the small main building and asked if it can be customized. I think if it can be sold, it will at least increase the income of the farmers here. What do you think? "

Long Jiu thought for a while and said, "I also have a company, so I can buy a batch and distribute it to employees as benefits."

Chu Yao: ...

How amazing is it to have a company? ?

He shook his head and said, "It's not about helping the poor. It's a good thing to have a big order all of a sudden, but it's easy for people to overlook the details that are prone to problems. Since it's a project that will be used to make money in the future, it's best to do it yourself. Start from the bottom. I am very happy to help them, but if I don’t help them, I will complain. It is best to leave this kind of matter to the village chief and Uncle An to figure it out. At most, I can help out with some ideas.”

Long Jiu's face was a bit ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "You only think so much about others every time, aren't you tired? How can you benefit from this kind of thing? You can't comfortably do it for yourself. live once?"

Chu Yao:? ? ?

"What do you mean? Why don't I live for myself? Besides, I'm also good. I will naturally get a commission for introducing the list to them. You haven't known me for long, so don't just define me indiscriminately, okay?" ?”

Long Jiu stood up abruptly, frightened Xiao Bai and ran to the table with a meow, looking at him inexplicably.

"Yes, it's all my fault. No matter how good you are, you won't discuss anything with me!" After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips vigorously, turned his head and went into the room.

Chu Yao was confused, with question marks all over his head.

"What's the matter? There was a quarrel?" Grandma Chu, who was picking vegetables under the eaves, noticed something was wrong, put down the vegetables in her hand and walked over, "What's the matter? Wasn't it fine just now?"

Chu Yao himself was at a loss, puzzled and said: "I don't know, he said what I have and didn't discuss anything with him... Then he got angry."

Grandma Chu smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu is a sensitive child, maybe he regards you as a good friend, and I hope you can treat him as a friend too, right? But what he said is right, sometimes you are too right-minded gone."

Chu Yao scratched his head, thinking about the lonely figure of Long Xiaojiu who was always trying to follow behind them and trying to help, and his blindness, finally his heart softened. "Okay, I'll go and coax him. It's really..."

"No matter how old you are, you have a small temper." Grandma Chu really loved these young people here as her grandchildren, especially the blind Long Jiu, who became more and more affectionate the more she looked at her, "Speak well, you know?"

"Got it, grandma!" Chu Yao put the things in his hand aside, picked up Xiaobai and went upstairs.No matter what, he has to find an excuse to coax people, such as returning Xiaobai or something...

Long Jiu sat on the bed and became more and more angry.Their relationship was so good back then, that guy broke it off as soon as he said it, without even giving him a chance to react.Now he thinks about this and that for others all day long, serving a group of stupid quails more meticulously than taking care of himself! !

He is definitely not jealous of those stupid birds, nor is he jealous of the group of humans who have received his love.

But in my heart, I feel really uncomfortable...
