Pigs, geldings, capons...
There are not many people doing this kind of work in the countryside, there are always a few in every village.
People will always look for you if you have good posture, and they will remember you as soon as you mention it.
Just like Chen Sangui in Carpenter, they still don’t have such a person here.
That is to say, the price of pigs has been OK in the past two years.
Many people come to the countryside to collect pigs.
The pig maker has become more popular than in previous years.
Good breeding pigs used for breeding pigs will naturally be more popular.
Having said that, the price of pork these days is not as transparent as it was in later generations. The price difference between urban and rural areas and between regions is sometimes scary.
There are not many people who get rich by going to the countryside to collect pigs.
In the past two years, many people have been thinking about business on pigs.
There are people like this in Kuliu County next door, because there are many pig farms there.
By the way, there are also many people who breed large breeding pigs.
In addition to breeding pigs in pig farms, I also usually drag pigs around to breed pigs to make money.
Chen Ling actually doesn’t want to raise pigs on a large scale in the village. The pig manure is so smelly that it smells like ten miles away from the wind.
It's hard to live so close.
Compared to pigs, dogs, cows, horses and sheep, they are really not lovable.
But if the folks ask, he will help wherever he can.
“It’s not what I said. Since you are all free and engaged in breeding pigs, why don’t you engage in breeding cattle?”
Chen Ling still encouraged the villagers to do more. Those who raise local cattle say: "Autumn is the time to mate the cattle. If you mate the cattle, they will give birth to calves next year."
In addition to being the peak season for breeding pigs, autumn is also a good season for breeding cattle.
The cattle bought by the village this year are now ready for breeding.
Even the calves we bought are now in heat.
Although generally cattle will not fully mature until they are one and a half years old.
But for those who are strong and develop early, it is not impossible to get them pregnant as soon as possible.
The local cattle are small and not dangerous.
"What are you doing? Don't even think about getting a cow this year. There is a fight in the village over this matter."
Wang Lishan shook his head, and the others started to curse.
Chen Ling's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he thought there seemed to be something to eat, and quickly asked what was wrong.
"The family named Guang is making trouble. His bull is so fucked up that it rides all the heifers in the village. I really fucked his grandma..."
Everyone yelled in unison.
The Guang family was not welcomed in the village after having a fight with Chen Ling in the past two years.
How did you know that raising cows is so attractive?
How well is his bull raised? From a human perspective, it doesn’t look that good either.
It is far worse than the Chen Ling family.
Little did he know that many heifers in the village were approaching other people's homes.
When grazing cattle on the river beach, as long as a person is not paying attention, he is worthy.
It lasted for more than two months, and the village was busy with the autumn harvest, planting wheat and picking wild fruits, without much rest.
It’s all the old people and their children who are herding cattle.
During the day, Erhei and his pack of dogs roamed around happily, but no one dared to come to the village to steal cattle.
So it’s very worry-free.
The result was such a fuss.
When they were finally paired, I don’t know which family’s cow the Guang family’s bull was paired with.
But the completion of breeding does not mean that the breeding is successful.
Cows are different from people. If they eat too much and drink too much water, their stomachs will bulge.
At the beginning, no one now dares to tell whether their cow is pregnant.
Who dares to drag cows for breeding in this situation?
If you are already pregnant, you will definitely hurt the cow if you go to a bull for breeding.
If she hadn’t been matched with the Guang family’s scalpers, she wouldn’t have been pregnant this year, which would have delayed her work for another year.
The key is that his bull appearance is not very good.
It makes me sick just thinking about it.
I went to the east of the village to talk to the Guang family about this matter. Unexpectedly, the Guang family’s mother-in-law said that people can’t control the affairs of domestic animals.
It made people so angry that they started to fight without saying a few words.
First the mother-in-law fights with the mother-in-law, and then the man fights with the man.
Wife-in-law fights are fine, but when men start fighting, sometimes things get serious.
So many people came out to intercede.
Although the big family named Guang is not popular in the village, they are not without relatives...
I think at the beginning, several of them with foreign surnames came to Chenwang to escape famine or something. The village is helpless, and the village is full of people named Chen and Wang.
Several families with foreign surnames must be closer together.
Now not only are these families related to each other, but also to the Chen and Wang families, and to other villages and counties.
If someone really wants to intercede, things won't be a big deal.
But it was a fight anyway, and it was a big deal.
“Come on, let’s just let this matter go. It doesn’t matter whether his bull is good or bad. It’s always good to get pregnant. I’ll find a good buyer for everyone next year, and I’ll make more money by then. "
Chen Ling said with a smile.
But he set his sights on his good brother Liang Yuemin again.
He basically lacks nothing now, he doesn't value money much, and he has no intention of making a lot of money.
Only the local scalpers are very persistent.
Compared with the importance of cattle to him, raising bumblebees seems to be a casual thing.
"Hey, when we say the word wealth, we all feel at ease."
The villagers grinned honestly and happily.
As long as Chen Ling finds a seller, anything will work.
If this matter remains unresolved, I don’t know whether to lose money or make money. Even if the price fluctuation of scalpers is small, if I lose money, I will always feel uncomfortable.
Of course, when it comes to breeding cattle, I like to find bulls with good quality for breeding.
It’s the same as raising pigs. You want your babies to grow fast, grow well, and have more meat. Take it to the mule and horse market and you won't have to worry about selling it.
"Hey, look, the fox is out. Look here on the pit of the big pit... Wealth and honor, as the old saying goes, foxes are friends with dogs, and foxes are friends with dogs. Your little Jin won't really get along with the fox."
"It looks a bit similar to me. Heiwa has a whole litter with wolves. Why can't Xiaojin have a baby with a fox?" My little white cow is playing."
Chen Ling said, holding Ruirui and leading Heiwa, Erhei and a group of dogs to the back of the Earth Temple to see what was going on.
Komori’s kids also quickly followed.
The adults were a little hesitant, afraid that if they got too close and made Xiao Jin anxious, they would be bitten by dogs every day in the village.
It is impossible to live in the village.
Chen Ling waded through clumps of tall wormwood and walked down the pit. The fox was indeed not afraid of him. He called out "Ouch" twice and ran around the trees with small steps. come over.
Xiao Jin was also wagging his tail at him in front of the fox hole.
When he saw something was wrong, he walked over and took a look. It turned out that another litter of fox cubs had been born.
There is nothing more to say.
Foxes have survived the winter and will go into heat and mate as soon as the weather warms up. In autumn, they will give birth to fox cubs.
Sometimes there are too many babies in the litter.
As for how many people can survive, it’s hard to say.
For example, when Chen Ling met this female fox for the first time, their whole family was almost killed by the badger.
"Dad, little fox..."
"Yes, little fox, come down and take a look at the little fox inside."
Chen Ling put him down and squatted at the entrance of the cave to look.
Xiao Sen and the others wanted to follow them, but Xiao Jin, who was always gentle to the kids, whined softly and showed a fierce look.
They were so frightened that they did not dare to come forward again.
Chen Ling also waved his hand to tell them not to come down.
"Uncle, a fox has crawled under my crabapple tree. Please help me catch it next time I come here. There is no gate in my yard, and foxes always come in."
"Okay. , I’ll let you take a look next time.”
Chen Ling responded and took Ruirui to play around Dakeng for a while, then went to look at some big trees that were covered with egret nests. I dug some Jerusalem artichokes for the brat and then went home.
After staying in the city for more than ten days without returning, Chen Dazhi planted fruit trees on the slope of his house.
So after having lunch at home, I took Ah Fu and Ah Shou for a walk in the mountains.
By the way, dig some suitable saplings and plant them.
This time I took Afu and Shouyi into the mountains, which was very different from the last time.
Before I brought Ah Fu and Ah Shou to the mountains, all the animals were restless, including bold jackals and rampaging wild boars, all of whom dared to provoke me.
Those jackals would even drive wild boars in the direction of Afu and Shou.
At night, he went down to the farm again to take revenge.
But this time it’s different.
The last time I came back, Ah Fu and Ah Shou had several hunting encounters in the mountains. They caught deer, wild boars, and pheasants...except for not hunting wolves, everything else was a success.
The beasts in the mountains know that these two big guys are not easy to mess with.
In addition, after returning this time, Afu and Shou have grown a lot in size, and the suppression of the bloodline from a high-level predator is fully revealed.
Chen Ling found that this time when he walked into the mountains, everything was quiet.
Even the birds can only hear the flapping of their wings, but not a few bird calls.
Afu and Shou’s eyes also changed more and more obviously.
The yellow-brown pupils exude majesty and sharpness.
And spontaneously began to patrol the territory, marking the location with urine from time to time.
It's like an instinct engraved in genes, something you're born with.
Just like a hunting dog.
When the time comes, you will know what to do.
Born to be the king of beasts.
After seeing blood many times, he finally gained a bit of the demeanor of the King of Beasts.
Naturally, all kinds of wild animals are frightened and dare not show their heads.
"Okay, our Ah Fu Ah Shou finally looks like the king of beasts."
Chen Ling touched the heads of the two tigers happily, and then I tried riding Ah Shou, but found that I still can’t help him.
It will be some time before riding a tiger to patrol the mountains.
It is a South China tiger after all.
Not a Siberian tiger.
If it were a little bigger, it wouldn’t be necessary to exceed the breed limit and grow to the size of a Siberian tiger, just long enough to carry him on his back.
Tiger is very powerful, and the South China tiger is actually not that small.
But after all, the tiger is not a beast of burden.
The packhorse is so small compared to the tiger, and it can even be ridden on.
So it depends on what it is.
“Let’s go, now that these things in the mountains are honest, let’s go for a walk in the depths!”
Seeing that Ah Fu and Ah Shou can frighten all the beasts in the mountains, Chen Ling couldn’t bear it I was so excited that I suddenly forgot what I had planned for the morning.
When I got interested, I wanted to explore those sinkholes again.
The saplings there are growing well, the mountain mushrooms and fungus are also plump and plump, and there are many undiscovered treasures waiting to be discovered.
As a result, walking towards the Daqin Mountains, there were even more big and small beasts here.
When he noticed that two strange guys, Ah Fu and Ah Shou, were coming, he immediately exploded and ran away in a hurry.
There are mountain donkeys and wild sheep galloping on the cliff.
A herd of alert sika deer.
There are fragrant deer basking in the warmth on the grass slope.
There are a group of dishonest jackals who are probing...
There is even a black bear that looks human-like, with its belly resting on its belly and walking unsteadily upright. After seeing Chen Ling with two tigers, he hurriedly pretended not to be aware of it. Seeing it, he wiggled his butt and walked away in the stream.
Wherever they go, the beasts retreat.
This refreshing feeling is simply indescribable to outsiders. (End of this chapter)
