After about 5 minutes, the mother owl made a movement. She lowered her head and held the little owl in her mouth, took off to the tree, and put the little owl in the nest.

The onlookers didn't dare to make a sound, watching the mother owl's movements.

It didn't take long for the mother owl to fly out of the nest, and about half an hour later, she flew back again, as if she had food in her mouth, but the lighting was not good, so Li Shiyou couldn't be sure.

The mother owl stood outside the nest, bowing her head into the nest from time to time. The doctor took Li Shiyou back to the room with a happy expression on her face: "Successful, it is feeding the little owl."

Li Shiyou was not so happy: "What if it finds out that this little owl looks different from me and doesn't want to keep it?"

The doctor replied: "It is willing to raise it now, and no matter what it looks like in the future, it will raise this child."

In order to make sure that the owl couple will really take care of the little short-eared owl, and also to observe the living habits of the owl, the doctor did not sleep, and kept watch in the yard all night, whenever he heard any movement, he would look up.

Li Shiyou stayed with him until one o'clock, and couldn't bear it anymore, so he hugged two quilts for him, and went back to sleep by himself.

The next morning, the doctor who hadn't slept all night seemed to be in good spirits, but Li Shiyou didn't dare to let him leave alone, so he asked him to have breakfast and drove him back to the hospital with Xu Dong.

In the hospital, the doctor showed Li Shiyou the adult short-eared owl they took in, which was cuter than the long-eared owl.The ear feathers of short-eared owls are shorter than those of long-eared owls, but their eyes are also beautiful, and they have eye shadow and eyelashes around their eyes, which are better than the eyes of long-eared owls.

Seeing the adult short-eared owl, Li Shiyou couldn't help but look forward to the growth of the white fleshy owl at home, and now it really doesn't look cute at all.

Before leaving, Li Shiyou asked a question: "Do you need donations for raising these owls?"

The doctor shook his head: "We are just treating them. If you want to donate, you can donate to the bird protection center in the city."

Li Shiyou asked again: "I can donate some mice to you, caught from the field, pure wild mice, if you need them, I will bring you dozens of them next time I come to the city, it should be no problem to feed them to the owls .”

The doctor was a little dumbfounded and refused to accept mouse donations.

Back in the village, Li Shiyou saw that the villagers were picking up wheat stalks at the entrance of the village, preparing to weave some small baskets and some more small baskets.

The pups have grown up a bit, and the small back baskets given to them during the Chinese New Year are a bit small, and they don't hold enough things. They are going to replace the pups with larger ones.

System: I'm not busy these days, you should learn to weave a small pannier first, it's just right for Hanamaki to be a model.

Li Shiyou: "Who said that? I'm busy. I have to help the chefs try new products. Without me, how would they know what ordinary people's tastes are like."

system:……

Li Shiyou thinks that weaving things with straw is very troublesome, too detailed, just like embroidery, which challenges the patience of human beings.

Li Shiyou bargained with the system: "Give me the experience first, and I will definitely get rid of all the straw."

System: "No credit."

Li Shiyou said it sounded high-sounding, but he himself was very guilty. Weaving things with straw was probably the biggest challenge he encountered, but he really wanted the experience.

Fortunately, the system has no time limit. Li Shiyou plans to learn it slowly, and one day he will learn it.

The experience system for harvesting wheat has been settled. Now Li Shiyou is at level 50.00, and the experience bar is [-]% more. Li Shiyou is very satisfied with the experience given by this batch of wheat.

After level four, the farm unlocked four more plants, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. These kinds of things happen to be plants that can be planted next to wheat.

Of the 150 acres of land vacated after the wheat harvest, 150 acres of corn, [-] acres of soybeans, and [-] acres of pumpkins were planted.The sweet potatoes are planted in the newly reclaimed mountain land, which is [-] mu.

Of the four newly unlocked plants, corn is the best to grow, and it is more convenient to harvest. Li Shiyou originally planned to plant 150 acres of corn, but was strongly opposed by the chefs at home, so he had to allocate dozens of acres of land to plant Soybeans and pumpkin.

Li Shiyou was a little regretful that the system did not unlock sesame seeds. The chef said that some dishes would taste better with sesame oil.

However, the baked pumpkin with egg yolk that the chefs described to Li Shiyou made Li Shiyou also want to eat it very much. For this reason, he also raised more than 50 half-sized ducks, and let them go to the big pond outside the village for activities every night. , let the tortoise drive them ashore, and they will go home by themselves.

The system said that the ducks had their mouths in their mouths, and they ate a lot of the shrimp and fish fry that Li Shiyou put in the pond.

Li Shiyou was afraid that they would not be enough to eat, so he went to supplement another hundred catties of shrimp seedlings.

This kind of shrimp Li Shiyou likes to eat very much. The shrimp seedlings he bought are small river shrimps that don't grow up. When eating, they don't need to be peeled. They can be fried directly or wrapped in flour and fried. They are very enjoyable.

Li Shiyou went to buy shrimp seedlings quietly, taking special care to avoid Ye Hong, for fear of being seen by her and a few chefs, and if he thought about putting small river shrimp in the menu, he would not be able to eat it.

But Li Shiyou still didn't escape the chef's routine. At noon this day, Chef Cao, who is especially good at cooking meat dishes, made a braised elbow, a salt and pepper tenderloin, and a minced meat custard. The taste was better than what Li Shiyou had eaten before. Eat, perfectly controlling his stomach.

Li Shiyou never snatched others at the dinner table, and always felt that the dishes he ate were not as much as others. Unexpectedly, Chef Cao even made a small stove for him, leaving him a little bit of each dish, and let Li Shiyou secretly eat in the kitchen , He ate to his heart's content.

Chef Cao was sitting next to Li Shiyou, watching him eat with kindness, and when Li Shiyou finished eating, Chef Cao asked him with a smile on his face: "Is it delicious? This is a farm pig I bought through my relationship. Usually you can’t buy such delicious meat.”

Li Shiyou nodded: "It's delicious, is there any meat left? What shall we have for afternoon?"

Chef Cao sighed: "There is no more meat. Local pigs are not easy to buy these days. I only managed to buy such a small amount of pork through my relationship. I cooked it all at noon today."

Li Shiyou was so full of meat, he didn't notice the calculating look in Chef Cao's eyes, and sighed, "It's such a pity, such delicious meat."

Chef Cao began to set a trap: "That's right, it's a pity we can't have such delicious meat every day. You don't know that if we encounter good ingredients, our cooking skills will be two points better than usual."

Li Shiyou: "Then next time my sister goes out to look for ingredients, I'll ask her to help me find out where there is local pork, let's buy more."

Chef Cao: "The meat I bought this time was from an old friend. The pigs in his family were raised for their own food. They didn't feed any messy things, so you can rest assured. If you buy other people's pigs, I don’t know what they feed, so I don’t feel at ease when using it.”

Li Shiyou didn't feel that he was walking into a pit at all, and nodded accordingly: "Well, yes, the source of pork in my sister's supermarket is said to be purebred farm pigs, which are not as delicious as today's pork."

Chef Cao took the opportunity to say: "If you want me to say, it's better to eat the pigs at home. The taste is sure to be good. Boss, if you don't want to raise a few pigs, we will eat them ourselves even if we don't supply them to restaurants."

Fearing that Li Shiyou would not be tempted enough, Chef Cao continued: "The local pork we raise ourselves will be very fragrant. At the end of the year, we will kill a few pigs to make bacon and stuff them with sausages. The taste is better than the bacon and sausages you bought hundreds of pounds." It must be delicious. Moreover, the boiled lard is white and translucent, and the cakes made of lard can be crispy and slag-free."

Li Shiyou was obviously full, and his saliva was forcibly swallowed by the pork Uncle Cao described. His mind became hot, and he said directly: "I'm going to buy a few pigs, so I can kill them for the New Year."

Chef Cao: "Buy a few more heads, otherwise it won't be enough for a year."

Li Shiyou quickly replied: "Let's raise [-] pigs. I'll give you five pigs for your restaurant, five pigs for my uncle and parents, and keep the remaining ten pigs for myself."

Chef Cao nodded repeatedly: "My friend happened to have piglets over there, so I asked him to bring them to us."

Li Shiyou nodded: "Okay."

Walking out of the kitchen, the system said: "Tsk tsk tsk, your brain..."

Of course, Li Shiyou still has a bit of a brain. When Chef Cao mentioned raising pigs, he knew that Chef Cao wanted to trick him into raising pigs, but the pork was so delicious that he couldn't resist the temptation, so he followed Chef Cao's advice. plan to go.

Li Shiyou retorted: "Pigs don't take up too much space. There is only an open space near the sheep pen, and the pig farm is built nearby. Then I will hire a special person to raise pigs. I don't have to worry about it at all. There will be big fat pigs to eat during the New Year. Nothing will work."

The system still couldn't help complaining: "There is no principle in order to eat, and I am willing to be cheated. There is really no bottom line."

Li Shiyou: "The bottom line can't be eaten, but pigs can be eaten."

system:……

In the following time, a new round of sowing began. Even though the chefs researched a lot of delicious food every day, Li Shiyou still lost weight.

Corn and soybeans can be sown directly by machine, while sweet potatoes and pumpkins need to be planted by hand.

Pumpkins need to be seeded first, and the seedlings can only be transplanted into the field when they are strong enough.Raising sweet potato seedlings is too troublesome. The seedlings Li Shiyou bought directly took a lot of effort just to transport them into the village.

Now that the weather is hot, Li Shiyou gets up at 04:30 every morning, taking advantage of the dim light to go to the field to plant sweet potatoes.

The short-term worker who came to help also got up at this time and went to work in the field with him. During the period, he only had half an hour to come back for breakfast. He started to rest at 10:30 in the morning and went to the field after [-]:[-] in the afternoon. Planting sweet potatoes does not stop until after seven o'clock in the evening, when the sky is completely dark.

Li Shiyou was not as good at growing sweet potatoes as the skilled hands he had hired, but he had been working hard all the time and never slack off.

In such a hot weather, the sweat on his body has hardly dried, and the drops of sweat fell into the soil. He couldn't help feeling sorry for himself, and told the system fiercely that when the sweet potatoes matured, he must eat them for half a month. , It is not in vain for him to work so hard.

Farm work is exhausting, and the weather is hot. Li Shiyou, who is tired, just wants to spread out every day when he goes home, and he doesn’t want to eat. He doesn’t like the stewed meat specially made for him by the chef. He lives on ice cream and mung bean soup every day. But in just a few days, Li Shiyou lost five catties.

Li Shiyou knew that Xu Dong would often tell Yin's mother about his situation, but he asked Xu Dong to pay attention, not to mention the working situation here, for fear that Yin's mother would feel distressed.

But Yin's mother still saw something wrong with Li Shiyou from the video. Regardless of his dissuasion, she came to live here and took care of Li Shiyou's daily life every day. She sent people a large number of ingredients here, and asked the chefs to help make Li Shiyou's favorite food. , Mother Yin didn't feel relieved to leave until Li Shiyou had completely planted sweet potatoes.

Sending Yin's mother away, Li Shiyou was spread out in the room, the air conditioner was fully turned on, and he didn't even want to go out. He called Xu Dong to help him bring him in after eating ice cream. Li Shiyou didn't want to bother with it.

After finally getting through the difficult time, Li Shiyou planned to make up for himself and not leave the air-conditioned room for at least one day.

After blowing the air conditioner for a day, Li Shiyou recovered and continued to go out to work formally.

The pigpen in his house was built, and Li Shiyou went to check it out, and found it to be pretty good, so he recruited another person to be responsible for raising pigs.

Li Shiyou heard that if the pigs can be let out for a run often, the pork may taste better. He couldn't help but want to see if the dog at home could let the pigs go. If the dog at home could let the pigs go, he would let the pigs go Come out and let the wind go.

But Li Shiyou didn't expect that Chef Cao would trick him again, and he ordered fifty piglets instead of twenty.

Chef Cao came over to explain to Li Shiyou with a look of embarrassment: "My friend is too enthusiastic. I said I want to order [-] heads, but he insisted on giving a few more heads. Who knew that he would give away so many."

Li Shiyou: I believe you, the price of piglets is so expensive, generally 50 yuan a catty in the market, the piglets ordered by Chef Cao look better than ordinary piglets, and the price will only be more expensive.

Buy [-] of these piglets and get [-] free. Is the person selling the piglets trying to ruin their business?

Fearing that Li Shiyou would return the piglets, Chef Cao told Li Shiyou about his specialty steamed meat with vegetable powder. The steamed meat is fat but not greasy, and it melts in the mouth. It will feel fragrant, not greasy, and it will be very delicious when sandwiched in the lotus leaf cake made of dough.

Li Shiyou is an authentic northerner with an appetite for pasta. Hearing Chef Cao's description of the taste, he couldn't help imagining the cake with meat in it. He couldn't help swallowing, and wanted to eat it now.

Not only Li Shiyou, but even Hanamaki, who was squatting at their feet, seemed to understand Chef Cao's description, and suspicious water droplets appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Li Shiyou had no choice but to ask someone to come over and build a pigsty, because the pigsty he prepared couldn't accommodate so many pigs.

For this batch of pigs, Chef Cao also spent a lot of money. One piglet cost more than 2000. He only collected money from Li Shiyou for [-] piglets, and insisted that the remaining [-] piglets were given by friends. After transferring the money to him, he transferred it back to Li Shiyou.

Li Shiyou heard from Ye Hong that Chef Cao is actually very good at cooking, but because of his strict requirements on ingredients, he has never been well-known.But he is not short of money, and the main purpose of learning cooking is to eat. If Li Shiyou really wants to make up for him, he will definitely be happier if he gives him more pork in the future.

He already has so many pigs, it's not a problem to give Chef Cao some more meat, Li Shiyou plans to give him half a pig more then.

Among these chefs, Li Shiyou's favorite is Chef Cao. Even if Chef Cao didn't give money to buy piglets, he would still give Chef Cao more meat. Their hobbies are the same, and their true love is meat.

He decided to let Chef Cao live in the village when the pigs were grown up, at least for a month, and let Chef Cao cook all the meat dishes he knew, which would definitely be very satisfying.

Li Shiyou thought beautifully, but the reality gave him a blow. The pigs in his piggery only weighed more than 20 kilograms, and they were still a bunch of little piglets.

In order to eat better meat, Li Shiyou began to try his own ideas. He found two or three people to lead the pigs to the pasture field with him, and let pancakes and steamed buns come over to watch them.

The little piggy doesn't seem to like eating pasture very much, but he also has a lot of fun in the wild, occasionally eating a few mouthfuls of pasture, and then playing in the field.

The pancakes and steamed buns were under a lot of pressure. Neither of them could look down on a pig. They had no way to rush back the pig that ran away, so they had to ask Li Shiyou for help.

Li Shiyou spent two days in the field, and the pancakes and steamed buns made progress. Together, they were able to successfully drive the pigs back into the herd.

But there were only six piglets brought out by Li Shiyou, and they couldn't take the piglets to the pasture fields every day like sheep, and drive them back when time was enough.

The process of herding the pigs was not smooth. Li Shiyou originally thought that he would have to spend a few more days in the field. Unexpectedly, Mantou solved the problem of herding the pigs by himself. It called the cows to help.

From taking the piglets from the pigsty to the pasture field, driving the piglets back to the pigs, and then driving the piglets back to the pigsty, the steamed buns always carry the cows, maybe because the cows are bigger, even if they don’t come out The sound can scare the little piggies obediently.

The process of raising pigs went smoothly. Li Shiyou began to slowly increase the number of piglets, from six piglets to twelve. The pigs were only a little confused when they first came out of the nest. After the cow blew, they immediately calmed down. Obediently followed the pigs to the pasture fields, and did not run around during the period, and when the pancakes drove the piglets back to the nest, it went very smoothly.

The next day, Li Shiyou increased the number of piglets to twenty, but the pups herded the pigs more smoothly than the day before. The piglets were very smart, as long as the steamed buns and pancakes sounded a warning, they would run back obediently. In the team, very well-behaved.

On the third day, Li Shiyou released all the piglets out of the nest. Some piglets who had never seen the world wanted to run around. Before the pancake gave a warning, other piglets began to hum, as if to tell them Don't run around.

Li Shiyou released the little piglets with the pancakes a few more times. During this period, few piglets ran around, and they seemed to like this activity very much. Every day when the time was up, they stood at the door and howled to go out.

Looking at this group of active little piggies, Li Shiyou was very pleased. For such little piggies who love to exercise, the meat must be delicious.

"System, I'm such a genius. Such a big pig must be delicious." Li Shiyou couldn't help showing off to the system.

System: "I remember that in the pig raising information I gave you, it was mentioned that if the pigs exercise more, the meat quality will improve."

Li Shiyou: "The information you gave only said that the meat would taste better if the pigs were exercised more. It didn't mention that the dogs can also feed pigs. Look at my pancakes and steamed buns, how good it is to feed pigs."

System: "Have you counted how much work Mantou has done for you?"

Li Shiyou really didn't count, he just felt that Mantou was very busy every day.

System: "Mantou has let go of sheep and chickens for you, has also shown you wheat, raised owls, and now she is going to herd pigs. The burden of life is all on it, a puppy."

Li Shiyou looked down at the Hanamaki he was playing with: "Hanjuan, what a waste dog, he can't do anything."

Hanamaki: Why scold me, I'm just a puppy who doesn't understand anything.

Li Shiyou thought seriously: "Should I raise a few more dogs? I also feel that Mantou's work pressure is a bit too much after you say that."

System: "The pigs, sheep and chickens that are used to being released will not make Mantou very tired. I hope you will not be thick-skinned in the future, and even take the credit for the dog."

Li Shiyou took it for granted: "The pup I raised, its credit is my credit, and we don't need to distinguish so clearly."

System: "Ask the pair of long-eared owls at home if they think you raised their children."

Li Shiyou: ...

Alas, as long as he is free, the system will always hurt him. Only when he is working can the system become a well-behaved little cutie. This system only recognizes farm work but not human garbage.

He is still a well-behaved cow. He not only loves to work, but also has work in his eyes. He can find work by himself and learn the skills of herding cattle, sheep and pigs. The key is not to talk too much, and he will not complain about his laziness.

So Li Shiyou has been very kind to the cows recently. The wages for the cows every night have become two cucumbers and two tomatoes. Occasionally, the broken cucumbers will be fed to the cows for extra meals. The cows are very happy to eat.

In the evening, Li Shiyou would rush to the pasture field and watch the cows and dogs bring the family's sheep and chickens into the nest, and then feed cucumbers to the cows. At this time, a little owl flew over and stood on the cow's head.

This grown-up little long-eared owl is active earlier than its parents. It will come out before the sun sets, mainly to play with the steamed buns, and occasionally stand on the bull's head. The owl stood on the bull's head, and it looked very harmonious. Li Shiyou took a lot of photos, but they couldn't post them.

At the entrance of the village, the cow will leave the team and go home by itself, and the little long-eared owl will fly to the steamed bun and go home with the puppies.

After dinner, Li Shiyou suddenly heard a rush of bird calls in the yard. It was the cry of a little owl, which was sharp and piercing.

Li Shiyou hurriedly ran to the yard and saw a very funny scene. There were two owls standing on the steamed buns. A small owl as long as a steel wool ball was pecked by a small long-eared owl, perhaps because it hurt , the small steel wool ball screamed particularly badly.

The steamed bun was not too big, with two owls standing on its head, Li Shiyou could barely see the dog's head.

After the small steel wool ball was pecked a few times, the little long-eared owl slapped it again with its wings, and the unsteady little steel wool ball fell from the steamed bun.

The small steel wool ball that fell on the ground began to cry, the sound was still sharp, as if it was a little wronged.

Li Shiyou looked up at the owl couple on the tree. The two of them stood together, close together, and distributed dog food anytime and anywhere.

At this time, the owl couple were not sleeping, their eyes were wide open, looking at the situation in the yard.They just watched, with a cute expression on their faces, as if they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, but they didn't fly down to stop it.

This was the first time Li Shiyou saw a short-eared owl with its eyes open, and it was also the first time it came out of its nest. It was completely different from before. Li Shiyou went to the yard, picked up the little owl that fell on the ground, and took it back to the living room.

At this time, the whole body of the little owl's hair is fried. The white base feathers are mixed with dark gray feathers, and the ends of the feathers are somewhat curled, which looks gray. When it is rolled up, it looks like a steel wire. The ball looks more like it up close.

Li Shiyou found some meat to feed it, it seemed a little scared, made a "knocking" sound, and spread its wings to threaten Li Shiyou, but it didn't forget to eat the meat delivered to its mouth.

Li Shiyou only fed two small pieces of meat, and did not feed him after recording the video and sending it to the doctor.

At this time, Mantou ran in, and a small long-eared owl flew in, standing on the table, threatening the small steel wool ball, blowing its feathers and flapping its wings, as if to attack it, to scare it. The little steel wool ball immediately folded its wings, trying to minimize its own existence.

Li Shiyou: "This is your brother too, why are you threatening it?"

The little long-eared owl ignored Li Shiyou, and continued to threaten the little wire ball, then flew to Mantou, its eyes were wide open and glowing, and left with Mantou.

Li Shiyou: ...

This little long-eared owl seems to be warning the wire ball not to compete with it for steamed buns.Its parents were willing to sell it, but they didn't want to let the little steel wool ball play with the steamed buns. Li Shiyou couldn't figure out what this little long-eared owl was thinking.

The author has something to say: the owls will not have a name, because they do not belong to Farmer Li, they can take care of themselves
