Chapter 372 The Secret of the Valley
“Going into the mountains? Are you looking for us as guides? Did they say where they are going?”
When Wang Wenchao said this, Chen Ling knew who he was. And the place to go is definitely not close.
Unlike Lao Zhou and his crew, who only work on the periphery. As long as they find a guide, they must be planning to go 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 quite a lot. Chen Ling often traveled to the mountains and liked hunting. He would certainly be willing to make money while having fun, so he came to see him.
Chen Ling said that he couldn't leave recently. He was about to sell fish and had to work at home for two days. He asked again: "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 stunned. He had heard rumors in the village that last year some villagers wanted to take advantage of others. Unexpectedly, Li Hongqi ran away in the end, and everyone also He didn't wait until something good happened to dig up the treasure, and he didn't have time to teach him a lesson.
On the contrary, it has caused a lot of noise in every household. When you see a badger hole, you will think of tomb robbing. If you encounter someone coming out to burn incense in the middle of the night, you will think of tomb robbing, but it is very harmful.
"Well, it's very likely that they are this group of people. The party secretary came to me a few days ago and said that some people from outside the area were asking about Prince Turtle and the professor's visit to the mountain last year. Maybe they came because of this matter."
After Wang Laishun said it, Chen Ling himself also thought about it when he was free these days. He felt that apart from the attraction of the old turtle in the reservoir, this group of people only had the miasma valley in the mountain.
Maybe that strange place will make them think there is a treasure.
"Then shall we go?"
Wang Wenchao was a bit younger after all. He felt that this group of people had bad intentions, so he didn't want to talk to them.
Chen Ling smiled when he heard this, "There's nothing you can't do here. If you want to give money, go when you have to. Call the old hunters from Kinmen Village and bring more guns and dogs. You won't be afraid of entering the mountains." What bad intentions do they have?"
"Hey, that's right, Uncle Fugui, you are very quick in thinking."
Wang Wenchao clapped his hands, feeling that this business can be done, anyway, this guide. He had done it a few times, so he was familiar with it, and Chen Ling's words made him feel relieved.
When he left, he told Chen Ling to report to him if anything happened.
It makes Chen Ling dumbfounded. I don’t want to get involved in this matter. I have nothing to report.
He shook his head and didn't think much about it. He just went back to pack the offal and prepare to eat the offal pot in the evening.
Then send the cow blood to the village and give half of it to my father-in-law 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 and went back to feed and add water to the chickens and ducks that had just been put into the duck shed.
After a bumpy ride, Chen Ling planned to feed them a meal first, wait for them to calm down, and then let them out to forage in ditches and mountains 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 might be sick, so he mixed them with his own diluted spiritual water and medicinal materials. Mixed with wheat bran, it can cure diseases and strengthen the body without diseases. It can be regarded as a little prevention.
Wheat bran, old spinach, and some large-leaf weeds are minced and mixed into a paste, which is already an excellent delicacy for these chickens and ducks who are used to eating feed.
The journey was originally bumpy, and in addition to the unfamiliar environment, I was very afraid of Chen Ling, a stranger.
But I couldn't bear it. I hadn't eaten for a long time, and my stomach was already ravenous. Soon a bold duck came forward and shoveled a mouthful of paste into his mouth.
Take one gulp and get out of control.
Seeing the bold duck eating so enthusiastically, the timid ones couldn't help but step forward and take a careful bite.
With the leader in charge, the remaining timid chickens and ducks soon became bolder. After a while, several stone troughs were filled with chickens and ducks.
Among their chicken and duck dishes, it was the first time to eat such delicious food. The guys were almost crazy. They screamed and squeezed together in order to eat more. The balls are flying and jumping, with chicken feathers flying everywhere.
This lively and noisy scene made Chen Ling smile. When the little green horse grazing by the river heard the commotion here, it swung its tail and snorted as it trotted away. come over.
Go close to Chen Ling, stand with him, and watch the lively scene of chickens and ducks competing for food.
This little green horse is very curious, very good-natured, and loves to join in the fun. On weekdays, if anyone comes to the farm, it will poke its head out of the stable to take a look.
Wang Susu has always said that she is learning from the little white cow and will also look after the house in the future.
Chen Ling said, it would be great if the little green horse was half as calm as the little white bull.
Although this horse is wise, it does not go on the right path. It is very naughty and often misbehaves.
Biting people's clothes and spitting are common things.
Sometimes he would suddenly poke his head out of the barn and his lips would move rapidly, scaring the little kids who came to play on the farm.
Komori and Xizi were both frightened and cried. Afterwards, Xiao Qingma asked Chen Ling to teach him a lesson, but he still refused to change his ways. If he was not beaten for three days, he would fall back into his old ways.
I saw it standing next to Chen Ling, shaking its head and tail, kicking its four hooves in small steps, showing its big white teeth, and seemed to be laughing at the chickens and ducks competing for food.
Wang Susu came over with her son in her arms and said with a smile: "No wonder people say you train a horse like a dog. Look at the way it shakes its head and tail, isn't it just like a dog?"
< br>"What, this horse is obviously still young and just loves to play."
Chen Ling refused to admit that he had trained a horse to become a dog. Besides, the little green horse was still a pony when it was less than three years old. The previous owners did not raise it well, so it would inevitably release its natural instincts when it came to his own home.
It’s normal to be lively.
"Okay, okay, it's just that it's young. You can look after the house here. Then I'll go back to the village. There are many people coming to the medicine shop every afternoon."
Wang Susu glanced at the little green horse , I just feel that although this horse is quite humane, it is still much worse than the little white bull. It has a too bad temper and often makes mischief to others. It is not popular in the village.
The old people and children in the village hid when they saw him.
"Well, go ahead, go ahead. Tell your parents not to eat in the village tonight. Come to the farm and let's eat beef offal pot."
"I got it."
Wang Susu returned to the village with her child in her arms. After leaving, Chen Ling went to the mountain to check on the conditions of the beehives, and asked Xiaojin to lead Coyotito and Fox to drive all the chickens and ducks at home into the orchard.
Then the newly purchased chickens and ducks in the duck shed were released to let them integrate into the group.
Since the chickens and ducks we bought are all hens and ducks, they won’t fight when they join the flock. Even if the chickens and ducks in Chenling Farm are wild, they won’t get into trouble even if dogs are watching.
The chickens and ducks clucking here were mixed together. After a while, the little white cows grazing at the foot of the mountain in the distance heard the movement and slowly walked over with a group of black and white goats bleating. This scene is really getting more and more lively.
Chen Ling looked at the large group of poultry and livestock surrounding him foraging for food. A bunch of puppies and foxes were running around, busy guarding them.
This scene made him feel satisfied for a while.
He took out his slingshot and followed the group like herding animals. At the same time, he took out clay balls and shot at the birds flying up and down in the orchard.
Heading east from the farm to the edge of the orchard, you can already see the mountain road on the north side and the dirt road on the fields on the south side.
At this moment, I saw a few people staggering towards this side from the dirt road. After seeing Chen Ling, they all had a look of astonishment on their faces, and then burst into laughter: "Okay. Guy, Fugui, what are you doing, holding a mobilization meeting for the members of your farm?"
But Wang Jusheng came with Zhou Weijun and three others. Now they are the only ones in the village who have nothing to do. Standing, doing nothing.
As soon as they approached, and the sound of voices and laughter came, the foxes at Chen Ling's feet were frightened away, and several fiery red figures swished into the grass, blinking. It disappeared in no time.
“Ouch, you scared me, something ran past.”
Yu Qian staggered, with an exaggerated expression on his face, and shouted while covering his chest.
He didn't pay attention to the situation at Chen Ling's feet, and he was really shocked.
Wang Jusheng and the others walked slowly and didn't see anything. Seeing Yu Qian's appearance, they hurriedly walked forward and looked around.
"Fugui, have you done something else?"
"No, it's the fox, the one you saw last time."
"Fox? Let me go. Now that you tell me, I didn't notice it last time. How dare you let the fox roam near this farm, where chickens and ducks roam free all day long? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the fox?"
"Not afraid?" Ah, that fox is very sensible. Besides, there are dogs watching, and there are many birds living in my orchard. How can we get them hungry?"
Chen Ling briefly told them about these foxes. , which made Yu Qian envious and wished he could catch two foxes and raise them.
Others don't like this, but they all focus on Chen Ling's chickens and ducks.
“I heard someone say this morning, Fugui, you went to the market to buy chickens and ducks again. Now when I look at it, the chickens and ducks you bought are put together with the ones you originally raised. It’s obvious at a glance The gap is coming.”
Wang Jusheng clasped his hands behind his back and exclaimed in admiration: "Look, this guy, one of your chickens can be as strong as two of the other chickens. This head is better than nine pounds of chickens. This butt is as fat as a gourd, and the hens are too." It's so plump, it smells good when you look at it, and it's absolutely delicious when stewed..."
Indeed, as soon as the chickens and ducks just bought were put together with the original chickens and ducks from Chen Ling's family, the difference was immediately apparent. Chen Ling's chickens and ducks are tall and strong, more than half their size.
When picked out alone, each chicken can outshine the nine-pound yellow. Chen Ling killed the chickens years ago, killed the hens, and cleaned them. After weighing them, there were still some weighing more than six pounds. Not to mention the cock.
"Don't just talk about chickens and ducks. The eggs and ducks from Fugui's family are bigger than others and taste better. If you ask me, if you sell them in the countryside, you will suffer a big loss in terms of price. It's early It’s time to sell salted eggs in the market.”
Ma Wei said with a smile.
They helped Chen Ling move the salted eggs two days ago. 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, and they knew the taste.
Don’t you think these chickens, ducks and geese are at a disadvantage if sold in the countryside? The price is much different.
“When I was collecting antiques, I knew a person who went to the mountains to collect eggs and sold them in the city. He was riding a bicycle and fell down twice on the road. He dropped an unknown number of eggs and sold them to the market. Not only did I not lose money, I also made some money, which shows the price difference."
Ma Wei told the story with a smile: "Later, this person invited me to do farming together, saying that we were the ones doing it. There is a breeding farm that raises 30,000 ducks. If you sell a duck egg for 50 cents, it will be 15,000. If you sell it for 1 yuan, it will be 30,000. I don’t have to worry about it. I just need to invest in it.”
“ Did you agree?" When Chen Ling and Wang Jusheng heard this, they looked over together.
"Of course I agreed. Think about it, even if each duck lays an egg in two days, that's 30,000 ducks. If you sell it for 15,000 a day, you can make a lot of money every day."
" Is it really that profitable? ”
“It’s just ridiculous. This grandson knew I had plenty of money, so he tricked me. After taking 30,000 yuan, he still said it to me. I visited the breeding farm, but within a few days, no one was there."
Ma Wei pouted, which made Yu Qian and Zhou Weijun burst into laughter.
Of course they know this.
Yu Qian said: "If Fugui raises 30,000 chickens and ducks and makes a fortune every day, it will be absolutely fine." Jusheng, it’s you and me and Lao Ma, we both want to be the boss and leave it to others, why don’t you catch us cheating?”
Zhou Weijun’s words made everyone laugh.
He saw it quite accurately.
Chen Ling shook his head and smiled: "Old Zhou is right. I can raise up to five hundred chickens and ducks each. This is the most. Let me build a breeding farm and raise thirty to fifty thousand chickens. I can't bear to work in that place all day long. I don't worry about hiring people. Why should I worry about that all day long?"
If he wants to raise chickens and ducks well, water and food are indispensable. It can also be said that building a chicken farm is still inseparable from him. These are not like raising fish and transporting fish, which can be fooled by adding some potions. When the scale is large, it is necessary There are a lot of things to match. These things involve his secrets, so he must do it himself. In the end, he won't be able to exchange for a lot of money, so why go to all the trouble.
Might as well sell wine.
While the five of them were talking and laughing in the orchard, someone else came over. It was a young man from the village who asked Chen Ling to borrow a gun. He said that they would go into the mountains soon. Although the time was tight, they would go in at night. Mountains are no good either.
But those people said they would give them more money, and this time Liu Guangli from Kinmen Village was also invited to go together. Everyone has nothing to fear if they have guns and dogs.
Chen Ling knew that some of these young people were about to get married, and some had personality problems. In short, they did not go out to work with the large army this year, but besides farming, they always had to find something to make money.
They would definitely not miss this opportunity now, so without any further ado, they returned and gave the guns to them.
After a 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 the mountains here. It is said that There is a miasma, don’t you know a lot about antiques and antiquities? Do you think there is something special that causes this kind of place?”
“What kind of miasma is there?” Huh? "
Ma Wei was stunned after hearing this, and Zhou Weijun and Zhou Weijun were also a little confused. They had never heard of miasma.
“Is it the miasma mentioned in many history books and classical Chinese biographies in the past, the kind of miasma that is common in the south?”
Chen Ling told them about the miasma and the situation in the mountains, and then they figured it out.
“I don’t know, but I have heard of such stories, quite a lot...”
Ma Wei shook his head and pondered: “If you say that group of people rushed to the valley , I must have thought it was an ancient tomb or something like that, and I went there thinking there was a treasure buried underneath.” It doesn’t seem impossible to just lean on the ancient tomb site.”
