Because I was discussing with Wu Dagang and others about expanding the scale of chicken farming and the crusher.
It was already past ten o'clock when Zhou Ziwen returned home.
Back in the house, Xiao Yueyue and Chen Qiaoyi were sleeping soundly at home.
Zhou Ziwen did not disturb them.
When I got to the kitchen, I started kneading dough and preparing lunch.
As soon as Zhou Ziwen steamed the buns, Chen Shiying came back from work.
She walked into the kitchen and saw Zhou Ziwen busy, and asked with a smile: "Ziwen, what are you doing?"
Zhou Ziwen replied: "I'm preparing lunch, steamed steamed buns, and plan to stir-fry some vegetables."
Chen Shiying nodded and said, "Then let me help." So the two of them got busy in the kitchen and quickly made lunch.
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen played with little Yueyue for a while. When the little guy got tired from playing, Zhou Ziwen took a nap with her.
When he woke up at noon, Zhou Ziwen felt full of energy. He looked at the time and decided to go to the ready-made waste recycling station.
Although Wu Dagang was already preparing to go to the commune to ask, he also had his own way.
If there was no news about the scrapped crusher from the commune, he was going to get one himself.
The crusher is not a complicated thing anyway.
With his skills, he could build one himself.
Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle to the scrap recycling station. He rummaged through the pile of scraps as usual.
The waste here is diverse, including rusty metal parts, worn-out electrical appliances, discarded wood, etc.
He relied on his wealth of knowledge and experience to quickly select items that might be useful.
In one corner, he found some thick metal sheets that looked like a good material for making a casing for a grinder.
He carefully moved the plates aside and continued looking for other parts.
Then, he found a few gears of suitable size. Although they were a little worn, they should still be usable after his repairs.
There were also some drive shafts and bearings, which he selected one by one.
Zhou Ziwen was busy in the scrap recycling bin for several hours, collecting many parts for making a crusher.
He carefully bundled the parts onto the back of his bicycle and set out on his way back to the village.
After returning to Dabazi Village, he put the parts in the pig farm's warehouse, preparing to process them tomorrow.
When he got home, Chen Shiying had returned from work and was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Zhou Ziwen stepped forward and said: "Shiying, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work today."
Chen Shiying looked back at Zhou Ziwen and said with a smile: "It's not hard, the food will be ready soon. You go wash your hands first."
Zhou Ziwen nodded, walked to the back of the house, washed his hands, and then returned to the house.
After a while, the food was served.
The family sat together and enjoyed dinner happily.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen played with little Yueyue for a while, then returned to the house and started drawing the drawings of the crusher.
Based on his memory and understanding, he sketched the structure diagram of the crusher on paper.
This drawing was crucial to him as it was the basis for his construction of the crusher.
After several hours of hard work, Zhou Ziwen finally completed the drawing.
He looked at the drawing in his hand with a satisfied smile on his face.
With this blueprint, he can build his own crusher.
Although he can do it without drawings, it is more convenient without drawings after all. After a night of silence, Zhou Ziwen woke up from the kang the next morning, refreshed.
He got up quickly, washed briefly, and then went to the yard to exercise.
Zhou Ziwen performed a set of Shaolin boxing in the yard. His movements were fierce and powerful. Every move and every move demonstrated his profound martial arts skills.
After the boxing, he was sweating slightly, but he felt relaxed and energetic.
He returned to the house and saw that Chen Qiaoyi and Xiao Yueyue were still sleeping soundly, and Chen Shiying was already preparing breakfast.
There was steaming porridge in the pot on the stove, and there were cut steamed buns and some pickles on the chopping board.
Zhou Ziwen walked over and helped bring breakfast to the table in the yard.
At this time, Chen Qiaoyi was also awakened by the movement outside, and she came to the yard with little Yueyue in her arms.
When Little Yueyue saw Zhou Ziwen, she happily stretched out her little hands for a hug.
Zhou Ziwen took Xiao Yueyue with a smile, kissed her on the little cheek, and then the family sat around the table and started eating breakfast.
After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying went to the sunbathing field to gather.
When we arrived at the grain drying field, the team leader was already arranging today's work with a loudspeaker.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying squeezed into the crowd and listened to the lecture together with the members.
"The summer hoeing work will continue today. The weeds in the fields on the east side have almost been cleared, but there are still some stubborn weeds that need to be dealt with on the west side."
"Groups one and two go to the fields to the west. Group three is responsible for watering the crops and paying attention to controlling the amount of water." The captain said loudly.
The mushroom team that Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying belonged to did not need to participate in the summer hoeing. After the meeting, Chen Shiying took the team members to work at the mushroom planting base, while Zhou Ziwen stayed.
"Uncle Wu, how are you? Did you go to the commune yesterday?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
Wu Dagang replied: "I went. The commune said there were no scrapped crushers, but they promised to help and keep an eye on them."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said: "Okay, Uncle Wu, I am also preparing to make a crusher myself. I found some parts at the scrap recycling station yesterday. I estimate that it will be ready in a few days."
Wu Dagang looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise: "Ziwen, can you really make it yourself? That's great. If it succeeds, production in our village will be more convenient in the future."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile: "It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll seize the time to do it in the past two days. By the way, how is the egg collection at Uncle Zhao's side?"
"Old Zhao has collected a lot of eggs. It is estimated that they can start hatching in the next few days." Wu Dagang said.
Zhou Ziwen said: "Okay, I'll go take a look later."
Since I agreed to help with the hatching, I definitely can't let things slip at this time.
"Okay, then keep an eye on it." Wu Dagang nodded.
"Don't worry! It's no problem." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
After leaving Shaiguchang, Zhou Ziwen came to the chicken farm.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai was arranging for the members to feed chickens.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Ziwen, you're here, come and take a look at these chickens." Zhao Youcai said.
Zhou Ziwen followed Zhao Youcai into the chicken coop and saw that the chickens were in good condition, with shiny coats and full of energy.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Uncle Zhao, these chickens are well raised."
Zhao Youcai smiled and said: "This is all thanks to everyone's efforts. By the way, the eggs we collected are all placed in the incubation room. You can go and take a look."
Zhou Ziwen came to the incubation room and saw rows of eggs neatly placed on the incubation bed.
He double-checked the temperature and humidity controls to make sure the environmental parameters were normal. Then, he picked up an egg and looked at the light. The embryo was developing well. (End of chapter)
