Great Village Chief Cultivation System

Chapter 36 Building the Shed
After lunch, Li Tiancai came to the yard and sprinkled some fine feed for the chickens, and then grabbed two handfuls of wheat and sprinkled them into the chicken coop at the east end of the yard.

The chicken coop covers an area of ​​less than half an acre, and there are more than [-] laying hens free-range.Although it is a free-range chicken, it is best to feed one or two handfuls of wheat or corn every day, and they spend the rest of the time eating outside by themselves.

In this way, the eggs laid by the hen are not only large but also have high nutritional value, and even eggs with double yolks can be laid.People in the countryside don't know what is nutritious or not, but the big eggs with double yolks are real, so feeding chickens like this has become a tradition.

Li Tiancai stood outside the chicken pen, looked into the chicken coop, and found that there were a few more eggs inside, so he opened the door of the chicken pen, walked in, and picked up four eggs from the sand.

"Mom, look, I picked up four more eggs. From now on, we will not sell these wild eggs, and keep them for ourselves!" Li Tiancai smiled and raised the eggs, and then put them into the egg basket.

Yang Fengyue nodded happily, and said: "Okay! In the past, it was just me and your dad at home. If we couldn't finish eating eggs, we had to sell them for money. Now that we have more people in our family, we can keep them for ourselves! "

"Well, that's how it should be. These eggs in our family are called Cordyceps eggs outside. They are rich in nutrition and taste good, and they are very expensive." After talking and laughing with Yang Fengyue, Li Tiancai walked out through the backyard door.

As soon as he left the hospital, Li Tian saw his father, Zhan Wenmao and others busy on the farm from a distance, so he hurried over.

Walking up to him, Li Xinbang and the others are now bedding the chicken shed.

In order to keep warm, the ground of the chicken shed should be laid with soft, dry, moderately long, short and thick, fresh and pollution-free, strong water absorption, and 3-5 cm thick bedding.

Green hay, straw, sawdust, chaff, small shavings, etc. can be mixed and used.The litter should be exposed to the sun before use, and the moldy bedding should be picked out.

Since Li Tiancai has been fully engaged in killing monsters and upgrading in the past few days, he has only seen this newly built chicken coop from a distance, but has not yet seen it closely.

Taking advantage of this time, he began to look at it.

I saw that the chicken coop was more than 20 meters long, 10 meters wide, nearly 3 meters high in the middle, and about 1.8 meters high on both sides.The roof has three layers of covering layers, which are linoleum, straw, and plastic film from the inside to the outside.

On both sides of the roof and one end of the shed, the film linoleum is pressed with sandy bricks, and the other end of the shed is opened to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel and chickens.

The main support of the shed is made of hard cypress stakes, and there are three layers of perching frames for the chickens to inhabit in the shed.

The shed is built on a level ground with flat terrain, convenient water source, leeward to the sun, and no water accumulation. Next to it, there are woods for the chickens to inhabit and enjoy the shade, and there is a relatively open grassland where the chickens can peck freely.

Li Tiancai smiled and said to Zhan Wenmao and Wei Fu: "Uncle Zhan, Uncle Wei, your craftsmanship is beyond words. These sheds are really beautiful."

Zhan Wenmao scattered the chaff, and replied: "Hey, getting old is useless. Back then, you, Uncle Wei, and I were considered craftsmen in the village. Woodwork, bamboo work, brickwork, and farm work in the village We are not the best."

Wei Fu, who was spreading materials in the middle of the chicken shed, turned around and said: "Well, it's okay to refuse to obey the old man. The skills we know now have long been eliminated. If your family hadn't built this farm, we old men would have been obsolete. Useless!"

Li Tiancai took over the conversation and said: "Uncle Zhan, Uncle Wei, you are about the same age as my father, how can I think you are young, how can you say that you are old! Hehe, at your current age, you even receive pension insurance The minimum age, can't you reach it?"

There was a bit of bitterness in the corner of Zhan Wenmao's mouth, he shook his head, and said, "I am four years older than your father, and I am 52 this year, and it will take another seven or eight years to receive pension insurance. However, I heard that we are like this. It’s only a few dozen dollars, what is there to look forward to!”

Wei Fu also went on to say: "That's right, it's really hard to make money now. My boss is also living a hard life outside, and that shameless woman also ran away, alas!"

Li Tiancai also heard about what Wei Fu said, and he sympathized with Wei's family in his heart.

Wei Fu's wife was seriously ill the year before last and stayed in the hospital for more than two months. After spending a lot of money, she finally went.He has a son and a daughter under his knees, and his son Wei Yongbo is now working as a construction worker in other places.

Daughter Wei Shuying married to Xianjing County, which is one-third poorer than Lugang County. It is said that her life is not easy.

Li Tiantian nodded kindly towards the two old people, and said: "Uncle Zhan and Uncle Wei, it's okay, life will get better. Don't worry, as long as our farm can stand firm, we will definitely not treat you badly." Yours. From now on, I ask you to take care of things on the farm!"

Zhan Wenmao and Wei Fu showed a gleam of joy on their faces, and they responded repeatedly: "Well, we know. If nothing else, they are all from the village, and we will definitely do our best."

Li Xinbang walked out of the chicken shed, smiled and cursed at Li Tiancai: "You have started to manage people before you become a boss. You Uncle Zhan and Uncle Wei have always been down-to-earth in doing things, do you still need you to teach?" ?”

Li Tiantian scratched his head and smiled apologetically: "Dad, what you said is true. If I don't care about it, it will cause chaos. This time our family is ruined. We can only succeed and not fail!"

What Li Tiancai said made Li Xinbang's expression tense, for such a big farm, he really didn't know much about it.It would be fine if it went smoothly, but I am afraid that if you encounter such a flu or such a plague, you will die a lot!
Zhan Wenmao nodded, expressing his understanding of Li Tiancai's words, and said sternly: "The genius is talking about this truth. We rural people are weak and can't stand the trouble. The few of us are not educated, and we can only use some simple methods. So , Large-scale breeding technology, it is most secure to invite experts to check the pulse."

Li Tiantian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dad, Uncle Zhan, Uncle Wei, don't worry. I know what's in my heart, and I'm sure there will be no problems! By the way, I'm done here. Is there any other work today? I happen to be free this afternoon!"

Zhan Wenmao said: "There is still a little work, not much. In the afternoon, we have to build a fence to surround the vegetable garden, so as not to be ruined in the future! If you are really free, you can help me later."

Li Tiantian rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm really free this afternoon, and I'll learn more woodwork from my two uncles!"

"That's fine, you and I go to the hillside and chop some thorns and shrubs first!" After Li Xinbang finished speaking, he returned home and found two hatchets, and took Li Tiancai to the mountain.

Wei Fu looked at Li Xinbang and his son who were going up the mountain, and sighed, "Genius, how could this kid think of engaging in breeding business? It's a pity for his culture, I think this thing is really unreliable!"

Zhan Wenmao said with a smile: "Others are not fools, so you don't have to worry about it. As long as you give us real wages, it will be fine. Anyway, we rely on our craftsmanship to eat, and we don't take money from our hearts!"

"That being said, I grew up watching this kid, and I'm really afraid that he'll lose everything. I'm always a little uneasy in my heart!"
