Love delays my farming

A hen fluffed her feathers, followed by seven or eight little hairballs, and returned to the chicken coop arrogantly, and took the children to grab the cabbage gang that Grandma Chu had chopped up.

"Oh!" Grandma Chu, who came back from herding the sheep, held a basin and called everyone to come and see, "I thought it was taken away by the yellow skin and eaten, who knew it was hiding outside and hatching eggs!"

Because the chickens are all free-range now, some hens know how to return to their nests to lay eggs, and some hide outside in the grass nests and piles of firewood to lay eggs.Every day Chu Yao goes out with the basin to pick it up, but he may not always get it back.The egg that slipped through the net was properly hidden by the mother hen, and after spending 21 days alone, she brought back a group of fresh troops.

Grandma Chu couldn't help being happy, "I counted and lost one, and I didn't dare to tell you that I was afraid that you would worry. I just thought that since it is a free-range breeding, it is normal to have losses. Haha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

The chickens bought from the village are fat and strong, and the chicks raised by the family are now fat and fat, with shiny claws, and they are very difficult to mess with.Not to mention the insects flying in the sky, even the earthworms in the soil can be dug out and eaten two or three times.After eating, I went to the stream to drink some water, and came back to eat some vegetable leaves as snacks. I lived a very comfortable life.

And the batch of chickens I bought before have also laid eggs one after another. The eggs are puffy, and the yolks are dark red. They look delicious.

It's just that there are too many little roosters, in order to compete for girlfriends and territory, they frequently start fighting cockfights, and several of them have their neck hairs pecked bald, which is called a mess.It's just that the meat at home is enough to eat, and the freezer is full, and there is no place to store the chicken after killing it.

Chu Yao looked at those bald little roosters and worried, fearing that someday these guys would fight him to death.

"I'm tired of eating every day. In two days, the village will go fishing again. Grandpa has already ordered more than 20 fish." Chu Yao wiped his face and sighed, "It's not appropriate to discuss this amount for a channel, and it's okay to sell it in the town." He can’t sell it for a high price, and he can’t finish it by himself. At the beginning, he only thought about raising it as soon as he could. In the middle, he calculated the loss if he died, got lost, or was eaten by weasels and the like. As a result, there was not a single chicken missing, and now there is a small flock.

Now he can pick up about [-] eggs a day, and he can save a few besides eating for himself.But the quails on the stone beach are about to start laying eggs, so there are not dozens of eggs but hundreds of eggs, and they can't finish them with a bowl every day.

Chu Yao does not intend to give this batch of quails to the village for the time being. It seems that more than 300 quails seem to be a lot, but there must be more than 100 male quails, and even if the female quails are divided, they will not be divided into a few households.He planned to save a few days of quail eggs, then pick a batch of male quails, and find a big market to take them to the market to sell, by the way, to see how the people in the town accept the quails.

If the acceptance rate is not bad, then a batch can be developed next year.The acceptance is average, so they are raised to eat by themselves, which is not considered economic breeding.He is more optimistic about the batch of peacocks, at least there is only one peacock, there is a lot!

Chu Yao vomited sand and picked up the ass for the snails he picked up, and chatted with Village Chief Kang and Uncle An while cleaning them up.

Uncle An's excitement has subsided, and now he looks much calmer.Holding a notebook, he clumsily recorded what Chu Yao said, "Actually, as long as it is tangible, we can make it. I even made a set of ancient small buildings for my grandson before, but they were all played with." It's rotten. We didn't think that this thing could make money, and we didn't put any thought into it. It's just seeing Xiao Chu and you guys here, and we have a lot of experience, so we came up with some ideas."

Village Chief Kang smoked a cigarette and nodded repeatedly: "It's good to have ideas. After all, you are craftsmen, and this craftsmanship cannot be left behind. If this thing can really sell for money, you can teach a few more apprentices and pass it on. The eating skills left by our ancestors. Like us, we can’t do it. We only know how to cultivate the land. Even if we read books, we can’t understand how to raise pigs scientifically, and how to cultivate land scientifically. "

"Experience is knowledge." Chu Yao threw the snails in his hand into the basin next to it, making a loud noise, "I saw that the things we grow here are very long. It's not that there are no crops, the main reason is that there are no people. It's too remote. Things are not easy to ship."

Village head Kang nodded and said: "Who says it's not? I heard about pure green vegetables and grains before, and our family has also adjusted a little bit. That's really tiring. I dare not spray herbicides. I use less pesticides and fertilizers. We try our best to use humus soil and so on. But when we sell it, it doesn’t cost much, and no one here recognizes us. There is no way to sell it far away, so no one will fix it. In the first two years, Some young people come back to grow vegetables in greenhouses. The vegetables are really good, but the problem is that they can’t sell. There are big markets in the town outside, but there are villages around them. In winter, just a few greenhouse markets are saturated, and they can’t be sold at all. As a result They leave every two years."

Grandpa Chu also nodded, "The place is a good place, but it hasn't developed yet."

Village head Kang said yes, and then said: "After we have a road here, the government also connected water and electricity here, and pulled the network cable. It's all for your brother's good. We also said that we would erect a monument for him. He No, I just want to contract the island. I also gave enough money to make many people build new houses. If it weren’t for Mr. Zhang, we would still be burning oil all day long.”

Uncle An nodded when he said this. Although Taoyuan Village directly benefited, the villages in the ravines next to Taoyuan Village can still go out to see the world through this road.If it weren't for this road, every time they went out to cross the mountains, they would not be able to return for four or five days.

"Yangyang, you can also help me think of some ways to recruit." Grandpa Chu was moved with compassion, and couldn't help pointing at his grandson, "Didn't you run a business before? Do you know anyone in this area?"

Chu Yao smiled and said: "If you can help the poor here just by knowing a few bosses, you can't do it as a government? Doesn't he have a wider network than us? That's not the case. First of all, you have to know what you can do here. What to do can bring profits, and secondly, how to attract the lost young people to come back. Then there is the road, back and forth. This business can’t be done, no one.”

"Yes, Xiao Chu, you have a good idea. I have struggled a few times before, and someone came down to help clean up the place and look after it. No one did it. Even if it is done, the leadership above has changed, so it will be difficult to escape. , things are not easy to sell, and no one will come back to do it." When Village Chief Kang mentioned this, he really burst into tears.

Chu Yao said: "So if Uncle An's bamboo craft can be done well, it may be a good way to drive several villages to make money. This thing is not afraid of pressure or bumps. Needless to say, if it is delayed on the road, it will expire and cannot be used. But this thing will Some people imitate, we have bamboo craftsmen here, and others have bamboo craftsmen too, right? So unless it is to make a show, make it bigger, gather all the bamboo craftsmen together and do it for a Taobao store or a physical store or something , in order to make money.”

Uncle An hummed, and said: "You're right, our family is not the only bamboo craftsman, as far as I know, there must be a dozen old bamboo craftsmen with this skill. I think about it, if it is true If the ones can be sold for money, I will gather them all together and distribute them according to the parts, so that everyone can make money together.”

Chu Yao smiled and said: "It's good to have this idea, but who will open the Taobao store? Let me say yes first, this Taobao store may not only buy bamboo products in the future, maybe things in our village also need to be sold through the Taobao store Let’s go. What is the name of the store and who will be in charge, I don’t care about this, you can discuss it yourself. Maybe I will have to sell things through your Taobao store in the future.”

Uncle An and Village Chief Kang looked at each other and said, "Let's hold a meeting later on to see who can do it. There are not many young people in the village, not many who know how to use computers, and even fewer who can speak well. Open a shop You can’t find a boring person to open a shop, can you?”

It was almost noon, and Kang Huiguo called, and Chu Yao brought back the things he asked him to bring.

Chu Yao quickly put down the unfinished snails in his hand, dragged the cart in the yard, and called Lin Feiyuan, who seemed the most talkative, to go with him to the pier to pick up things.Now that it is hot, in order to let the "model workers" who live here eat and drink well, he specially asked Kang Huiguo to wholesale a lot of beer, ice cream, soda drinks, etc., and then added some food at home. Various seasonings.

The rapeseed in the village had just been dried a few days ago, and he also ordered ten barrels of rapeseed oil, which he brought along with him this time.

"Let's eat together, fry snails at noon, make spicy chicken, and I'm frying some quail." Chu Yao refused to let Kang Huiguo go back, because Kang Huiguo was not only a young man in the village, but also a young man with a little brain.Moreover, his daughter-in-law is also very handy. She taught herself how to tailor, and has been making clothes for the villagers in the past two years. The styles are generous and cheap.Business is also OK. "Call my sister-in-law, and Uncle Kang, call my aunt, and call both Uncle Yongshun and my aunt. Uncle An, where are you?"

Uncle An waved his hand, "My family has a lot of children and is far away. This time I'm not lucky."

There were two tables set up under the loofah stand in the yard. Chu Yao cooked by himself. He fried a large pot of spicy escargot, a large pot of spicy chicken, and caught quail by head, and asked Village Chief Kang to kill them and marinate them for deep frying.The beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes at home can also be picked. I fried a dry stir-fried bean, stewed a fried egg with braised pork, a large pot of gherkins and a large pot of sugar tomatoes.

There are not many dishes, but the amount is large and affordable.Then put the rice in a big basin and put it on the table, and that's it when I go out to sit.

The beer was still cold, and it was gurgling into the big teacup with a happy foam.After a few mouthfuls of food, the hope of getting rid of poverty began to gradually shine with joy.

By the time Village Chief Kang and the others were sent away, the planning for the pricing of these handicrafts was basically completed, and we just waited for a meeting in the village to see if it could be fully implemented.

"I'm very happy," Chu Yao ate the snails, smiling happily.He looked at Long Jiu proudly, and said, "Look, being able to help others is something to be happy about, right?"

Long Jiu's fingers fiddling with the snail shell paused for a while before he said, "Just as long as you're happy..."

As long as you don't hurt yourself and are just happy, I will be happy with you too.
