末世 二三 事

Chapter 18 Lotus

The chicken coop smelled bad, and Jing Lin and the others covered their noses after entering.The roof of the chicken farm is not very high, and tall people like Jing Lin and Yan Fei feel a little oppressed when they enter the space.

In fact, small-scale chicken farms like the farmer usually cooperate with the chicken collection company. The two parties sign a contract. The company provides chicklings and vaccine feed, etc., and the site solves it by itself. After the chickens are slaughtered, the company collects the payment.

The chicks in the chicken pen are all fluffy and not very energetic.The owner of the farm said that he still has less than [-] of his [-] chicks left, and these days he has to burn hundreds of them every day, which made him smolder in his mouth.

Everyone endured the pungent smell and looked around for a while, then went out to negotiate the price with the owner, and finally settled on two yuan each.

There was a scale in the chicken farm, and everyone weighed all the grain they had brought in front of the farm owner, and reported the amount they needed after each calculation.

Jinglin replaced 50 catties of millet with 26 chicks, Zhou Yu replaced [-] chickens, and Yan Fei’s family had no experience in raising chickens, so they only replaced [-] chickens. If you want to let chickens lay fertilized eggs and hatch chicks by yourself in the future, you have to find a rooster that has not been castrated.

After handing over the food, Jing Lin put all the chicks he picked into the cart, opened the parasol to block part of the sun, and the chicks hid themselves in a cool place.

When they were leaving, they were stopped by a pair of middle-aged men and women when they passed the house whose entrance had collapsed.

At first they were a little nervous, but after the two of them explained their intentions, they realized it was a false alarm.

It turned out that this middle-aged man and woman were the family whose house collapsed. The place where the house collapsed was their kitchen and pigsty. The sow was killed by the earthquake last night, leaving more than a dozen piglets.In the past few years, there have been fewer farmers in the countryside, let alone pig farmers. Everyone doesn't like to bother raising that thing. His family's piglets were originally agreed to be sold to a pig farm in the county. Yes, but because of the rotten car due to the power outage, the owner of the farm stopped taking it. This year, the dozen or so pigs fell into his hands. He was worrying about how to sell the dozens of piglets. Unexpectedly, the earthquake came, not only knocked down the pigsty but also killed his big sow. Now his family doesn't even have a place to raise these dozens of piglets, and they don't have a car. The money is in the bank, and they don't even buy pig feed. There are problems, and they are completely unaffordable.

The news that Jing Lin and the others came to the village could not be hidden from the others. Seeing that they were here to exchange chickens, the couple thought about asking these people if they would trade grain for piglets.

Jing Lin wanted to raise pigs, but his family didn't have any land to raise pigs.When his family built the house, he and his sister were both studying. Grandpa managed the fish ponds and lotus root ponds. He had no extra energy to raise poultry and livestock, so he didn’t build a pigsty when the foundation was laid.

Zhou Yu was also moved.Although everyone doesn't say how rich they are now, their material life is much better than before. Not to mention eating meat every day, they have to eat every other day. She is also a food lover. She dreamed about eating meat last night. Yan I am also greedy for meat, although I buy a lot of jerky at his house, but unfortunately there is never fresh cooked meat that tastes good.Moreover, his grandfather who has passed away is of the older generation. From the fact that he lived in the city and insisted on letting his father come back to build the house, it can be seen that when the house was built, two large pigpens were built, so he took the lead in asking the owner, Piggy Chen Xuefang and others also asked about the price. Her family's life was higher than that of some villagers, and meat was indispensable.

The couple are thinking about getting rid of the piglet as soon as possible, and he is willing to pay whatever the price is not too bad.Immediately, they tried to quote a price, Zhou Yu took the lead, and the others lowered the price a bit, and finally settled on a price that both parties were satisfied with, and the deal was considered half done.

Then the host asked them if they would buy sow pork.After the sow was crushed to death last night, he asked his acquainted neighbors to help cook the sow pork. However, because the old sow pork tasted bad and the quality of the meat was unsafe, no one bought the cooked sow pork. After he sent a few catties to his neighbors, the rest were wrapped in plastic bags and hung in the well.

Of course, Zhou Yu and the others knew that the sow's pork was not good, so they refused, and then they went back first, and later brought food to exchange piglets.

When I got home, the door of the house was closed. Mr. Zhao and his son might have gone to the field with Lele.Zhou Yu took the key he had with him and opened the door. Together with Jing Lin, he put the chicken cubs in place, packed two bags of millet, weighed them, loaded the car, and gathered at the entrance of the village with the villagers. Go to Yuming Village.

There were only four families who were going to change piglets this time.Zhou Yu's family changed two pigs, and Yan Fei's family changed two.Ma Renshan's family had their head changed, and Dr. Zhao's family also changed their head.The owner said that these piglets have been castrated, so they can be raised with peace of mind.The owner wants them to change the feed for the pigs, but no one has such an idea. Except for Yan Fei’s family, the other three have experience in raising pigs. In the past, the big guys raised pigs without feed and just fed pig grass to feed them. , In this special period, there is no need to waste food for feed.

After tossing back and forth like this for an afternoon, after the two pigs were brought home, the sky was also cloudy.

Seeing that Zhao Zhiwen and the others were still not at home, Zhou Yu wanted to go to the field with a basket on his back to cut wild amaranth and feed it to the pigs, and asked Jing Lin to find the three of them.Jing Lin agreed, drank water and rested for a while, then got up and walked to the fish pond.

The three of Zhao Chenghuai were not in the fish pond, but Jing Lin met them in the lotus pond on the way.The three of them were squatting on the ridge of the road, facing a pool of green lotus leaves and lotus flowers growing in it.

"Lele." Jing Lin called out.

Lele turned her head, wearing a childlike lotus leaf hat, which was loosely pressed on his curly head, making her look even cuter.Pointing in front of him, he said to Jing Lin as if offering a treasure: "Uncle, black flowers."

After walking to Lele's side, Jing Lin saw a small cardboard box on the other side of Lele. Inside the box was a goose named Duck and some chopped cabbage leaves.

Seeing Jinglin approaching, Zhao Zhiwen hurriedly said to him, "Alin, come and see, this lotus has turned black."

"Black?" Jing Lin was puzzled, he only knew that lotus flowers were white, pink, deep red or lavender, and black was unheard of.He got closer and saw a lotus flower swaying in the water in front of Zhao Zhiwen squatting. The petals went from bottom to top, and the color gradually changed from pink to black. It is not that the gradient generally gives people a buffer time, so it looks shocking.
