My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 372 The Secret of the Valley

   "Into the mountains? Are you looking for us as a guide? Did they say where to go?"

  After Wang Wenchao said this, Chen Ling knew who it was, and the place he was going to was definitely not close.

   Unlike Lao Zhou and his crew, who only operate on the periphery, as long as they look for a guide, they must have the intention of going deep into the mountains for many days.

   "I didn't say that, I just said that I went to the mountains to play."

  Wang Wenchao felt that the money was a lot, and Chen Ling often ran mountains and liked hunting. He would definitely like to make money while playing, so he came to him.

  Chen Ling said that he couldn’t leave recently, and he was going to sell fish soon, so he had to stay at home for two days, and asked, “Among these people, is there the guy who came to our village to fry fried dough sticks last year?”

   "Uncle Fugui, you mean..."

  Wang Wenchao was taken aback. He had heard rumors in the village that last year some villagers wanted to cheat, but they didn’t expect Li Hongqi to run away in the end. Everyone didn’t wait for any good treasure digging, and they didn’t have time to teach him a lesson.

   It made every household panicky. When you saw a badger hole, you would think of tomb robbery. If someone came out to burn incense in the middle of the night, you would think it was a tomb robbery, but it is not bad.

   "Well, it's very likely that it's this group of people. A few days ago, the party secretary came to me and said that some people from other places inquired about Lord Turtle and the professor entering the mountain last year. Maybe it was for this matter."

  After Wang Laishun said it, Chen Ling himself thought about it when he was free these days, and felt that apart from being attracted by the old turtles in the reservoir, this group of people only had miasma valleys in the mountains.

  Maybe that strange place will make them feel that there is a treasure.

   "Then shall we go?"

  Wang Wenchao was a little young after all, and felt that this group of people had malicious intentions, so he didn't want to talk to them.

Chen Ling laughed when he heard the words, "There's nothing you can't go here. If you want to give money, go as soon as you need to. Then you call the old hunter in Jinmen Village, bring more guns and dogs, and you won't be afraid when you go into the mountains." What are they thinking?"

   "Hey, that's true, it's Uncle Fugui, you have a quick brain."

  Wang Wenchao clapped his hands, feeling that this business could be done. Anyway, this guide had done it several times, so he was familiar with the road, and with Chen Ling's words, he was very relieved.

   When he left, he told Chen Ling to report to him if there was anything wrong.

   Chen Ling couldn't laugh or cry, and I didn't want to get involved in this matter, so I have nothing to report.

  Shaking his head, he didn't think much about it anymore. He just went back and packed up the offal, and prepared to eat the offal pot at night.

  Then send the cow blood to the village, and give half of it to the old man, so that they can use it when cooking for others at night.

   This cow blood is very fresh, and it still has cow hair. Although it is not much, it needs to be cleaned carefully.

  Chen Ling helped clean up, then went back to feed and water the chickens and ducks that had just been put into the duck shed.

  After a bumpy journey, Chen Ling was going to feed them first, take a while, and let them go out after their spirits calmed down. They went to the ditches and mountains to forage together with the chickens and ducks at home.

In addition, the chickens and ducks bought from various farms were in the car along with the chickens and ducks bought by the villagers from the market. Chen Ling was worried that he would get sick, so he mixed his own diluted spirit water and medicinal materials Mixed with wheat bran, it can cure diseases and strengthen the body without diseases, which can be regarded as a little prevention.

   Wheat bran, old spinach, and some large-leaf weeds are chopped and mixed into a paste, which is already an excellent delicacy for these chickens and ducks who are used to eating feed.

   Originally, the journey was bumpy, and in addition to being in an unfamiliar environment, he was still very afraid of Chen Ling, a stranger.

   But I couldn’t stand the fact that I hadn’t eaten for a long time, and my stomach was already hungry. Soon, a bold duck stepped forward and shoveled a mouthful of paste into its mouth.

   One bite down, and then it got out of hand.

   Seeing the bold ducks eating so excitedly, the timid ones couldn't help but lean forward to take a bite cautiously.

  With the leader, the remaining cowardly chickens and ducks quickly became courageous, and after a while, several stone troughs were filled with chickens and ducks.

Among their raw chicken and duck, it was the first time they ate such delicious food. Those guys went crazy one by one. In order to eat more, they clucked and screamed and huddled together, flying and jumping Yes, chicken feathers are flying around.

  This lively and noisy scene made Chen Ling smile. The little green horse grazing by the small river heard the movement here, and was unwilling to be lonely, flicking its tail and trotting over with a snort.

  Come to Chen Ling's side, stand with him, and watch the lively scene of chickens and ducks scrambling for food.

  This little green horse is very curious, very kind, and loves to join in the fun. Whenever anyone comes to the farm on weekdays, it will poke its head out of the barn to have a look.

  Wang Susu has always said that it is learning from Xiaobai Niu and will also take care of the house in the future.

  Chen Ling said, it would be nice if the little green horse was half as safe as the little white cow.

  Although this horse is considered wise, it does not go on the right path. It is very mischievous and often does bad things.

   Biting people's clothes and spraying saliva are common things.

  Sometimes he would suddenly poke his head out of the barn, and his lips would move quickly, scaring the little dolls who came to play in the farm.

  Komori and Xizi were scared to tears. Afterwards, Xiao Qingma gave Chen Ling a good lesson, but they might still stay put. If they don't fight for three days, they will relapse.

  Seeing it standing next to Chen Ling, shaking its head and tail, its four hooves kept kicking slightly, showing its big white teeth, as if it was laughing at the chickens and ducks fighting for food.

  Wang Susu walked over with her son in her arms and said with a smile: "No wonder people say that you treat horses like dogs. Look at the way it shakes its head and tail, isn't it just like a dog?"

   "What, obviously this horse is still young and just loves to play."

  Chen Ling refused to admit that he had trained the horse to be a dog. Besides, the little green horse was less than three years old, and it was indeed still a pony. The former owner didn't raise it well, so it was inevitable that he would release his instinct when he came to his own house.

  It's normal to be lively.

   "Okay, okay, it's young, you can take care of the house here, then I'm going back to the village, there are many people coming to the pharmacy every afternoon."

  Wang Susu glanced at the little green horse, only to think that although this horse is quite human, it is still much worse than the little white cow. It has a big temper and often plays tricks on others. It is not pleasing in the village.

  The old people and children in the village all avoided seeing them.

   "Well, let's go, tell parents not to eat in the village at night, come to the farm and let's eat beef offal."

"understood."

  Wang Susu went back to the village with the child in her arms, and Chen Ling went to the mountain to check the conditions of the beehives, and asked Xiao Jin to lead the puppy and the fox to drive all the chickens and ducks to the orchard.

  Then release the newly bought chickens and ducks in the duck shed to let them blend into the group.

  Since all the chickens and ducks are bought, they will not fight when they join the flock. Even if the chickens and ducks in Chen Ling Farm are wild, they won't be able to fight if there are dogs watching them.

  Cackling chickens and ducks are mixed here. After a while, the little white cow grazing at the foot of the mountain in the distance heard the movement, and also walked slowly, and a group of black, white, and bleating goats came over.

   This scene is getting more and more lively.

  Chen Ling watched this large group of poultry and livestock foraging around him, and a group of puppies and foxes ran around, busy, guarding them.

  He couldn't help being satisfied with this scene.

   Then he took out his slingshot, and while following the group as if grazing herds, he took out mud pellets and shot at the birds flying and falling in the orchard.

  From the farm to the east, until the edge of the fruit forest, the mountain road on the north side and the dirt road on the field on the south side are already in sight.

At this time, I saw a few people staggering towards this side from the dirt road. When they saw Chen Ling, they all showed astonished expressions on their faces, and then laughed a lot: "Good guy, Fugui, what are you doing?" What are you doing, to hold a mobilization meeting for the members of your farm?"

  It was Wang Jusheng who brought Zhou Weijun and the three of them here. Now they are in the village, and they are the only ones who are idle all day long.

  As soon as they approached, talking and laughing, they scared away the foxes at Chen Ling's feet. Several flaming figures swished into the grass and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

   "Hey, hey, I was shocked, something jumped over."

  Yu Qi'an staggered, with an exaggerated expression on his face, and shouted while clutching his chest.

  He didn't pay attention to the situation at Chen Ling's feet, which was really taken aback.

  Wang Jusheng and the others walked slowly and didn't see anything. Seeing Yu Qi'an's appearance like this, they hurried to the front and looked left and right.

   "Fugui, did you do something else?"

   "No, it's the fox, you saw it last time."

   "Fox? I'll go. You said it. I haven't noticed it last time. You dare to let the fox be near this farm, and the chickens and ducks are still free-range all day long. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the fox?"

   "Don't be afraid, that fox is very sensible. Besides, there are dogs watching, and there are many birds living in my orchard. How can I get them hungry?"

  Chen Ling briefly told them about these foxes, which made Yu Qi'an envious for a while, wishing to catch two foxes and raise them.

   Others didn't like this, but they all focused on Chen Ling's chickens and ducks.

   "I heard people say this morning, Fugui, you went to the market to buy chickens and ducks again. Looking at it now, the chickens and ducks you bought are put together with the ones you raised before, and you can see the difference at once."

Wang Jusheng clasped his hands behind his back and exclaimed in admiration: "Look, this guy, one of your chickens can beat two other chickens, this head is better than nine catties of yellow, this **** is fat, like a gourd, and the hen is too fat." It's so fat, it smells delicious when you look at it, and it's absolutely delicious when stewed..."

  Indeed, as soon as the newly bought chickens and ducks were put together with the original chickens and ducks of Chen Ling's family, the gap immediately became apparent. The chickens and ducks of Chen Ling's family were tall and strong, which could be more than half their size.

  Pick it out alone, and each chicken can compete with nine catties of yellow. Chen Ling killed the chickens a few years ago, killed the hens, and cleaned them up.

"Don't just talk about chickens and ducks. Fugui's eggs and duck eggs are bigger than other people's eggs, and they taste better. If you want me to say, if you sell them in this country, you will suffer a big loss in price. It should be sold in the city. Egg."

   Ma Wei said with a smile.

  Two days ago, they helped Chen Ling carry the salted eggs. They had seen the size of those eggs and duck eggs, and they had eaten them many times at Chen Ling's house. They had eaten both salted eggs and normal eggs, so they knew the taste.

   Don’t you think these chickens, ducks and geese are at a disadvantage in this country, the price is much worse.

"When I was collecting antiques, I knew a person who went to the mountains to collect eggs and sold them in the city. While riding a bicycle, I fell two big somersaults on the road. I didn't know how many eggs I lost. I just sold them in the city. Not only did I not lose money, I also earned a little bit, which shows the price gap."

Ma Wei smiled and told the story: "Later, this person invited me to do breeding together, saying that we would start a breeding farm and raise 30,000 ducks together, and a duck egg would cost 15,000 for 50 cents, and 1 yuan for it. , that’s 30,000 yuan, I don’t need to worry about it, just pay for the shares.”

   "You agreed?" Chen Ling and Wang Jusheng looked over when they heard this.

   "Of course I agreed. If you think about it, each duck lays one egg in two days. That's 30,000 ducks, selling 15,000 a day, making a lot of money every day."

   "Is it really that profitable?"

"To make money, this grandson knows that I have extra money, and he specifically tricked me. After taking 30,000 yuan, he even said it in a decent way, and let me visit the farm. As a result, within a few days, everyone It's gone."

   Ma Wei curled his lips, which made Yu Qi'an and Zhou Weijun burst into laughter.

  They naturally knew about this.

  Yu Qi'an said: "If you are rich, you can raise 30,000 of these chickens and ducks, and make a lot of money every day, absolutely no problem."

   "That's definitely possible, but we people are not suitable for this job. Regardless of Fugui and Jusheng, or you, me and Lao Ma, we all have the temperament of being hands-off shopkeepers. If we leave it to others, why don't we catch us?"

   Zhou Weijun's words made everyone laugh.

  He saw quite accurately.

Chen Ling shook his head and smiled: "Old Zhou is right. I, at most, raise five hundred chickens and ducks each. This is the most. Let me build a farm, raise thirty to fifty thousand chickens, and guard the place all day long." I can't bear to be busy. I don't feel at ease about hiring people, so why worry about it all day long."

He wants to raise chickens and ducks, water and food are indispensable. It can also be said that building a chicken farm is still inseparable from him. These are not like fish farming and transporting fish, which can be fooled by adding some medicine. The scale is large and needs There are also a lot of collocations. These things involve his secrets, and he must do it himself. In the end, he can't get much money, so why bother.

   Might as well sell wine.

  While the five of them were chatting and laughing in the orchard, another person came over. It was a young man from the village who asked Chen Ling to borrow a gun, saying that they would go into the mountain soon.

  But those people said that they would be given more money, and this time Liu Guangli from Jinmen Village also invited them to go together. Everyone has guns and dogs and is not afraid of anything.

  Chen Ling knew that some of these young people were getting married soon, and some had personality problems. In short, they didn't go out to work with the big team this year, but besides farming, they always wanted to find something to make money.

   Right now, they would definitely not miss this opportunity, so they didn't talk nonsense, and gave them the gun when they went back.

After the group of them left, Chen Ling didn't know where they entered the mountain from, so he said to Ma Wei, "Old Ma, let me ask you something, there is a valley in our mountain that is said to have miasma, aren't you quite Do you know about antiques and antiquities? Do you think it is possible that this kind of place is caused by something special?"

   "What? A valley with miasma? What miasma?"

   Ma Wei was taken aback for a while, Zhou Weijun and Zhou Weijun were also a little confused, and they had never heard of miasma.

   "It's the miasma mentioned in many history books and biography in classical Chinese, the kind of miasma mentioned in many southern miasmas?"

  Chen Ling told them about the miasma and the situation in the mountains, and they matched up.

   "I don't know, but I have heard such stories, quite a lot..."

  Ma Wei shook his head, and pondered: "If you say that those people rushed to the valley, they must think that there is a place like an ancient tomb, and they went there because they believed that there were treasures buried there."

   Speaking of this, there was a sudden pause, "Hey, speaking of which, it seems that it is not impossible for things like miasma to lean against the ruins of the ancient tomb."
