After Chen Xi said this, he held the bucket and said to everyone: "Please step aside, I will feed the pigs first."
Everyone quickly got out of the way, and then stared at the little baby in his hand. But Hongtong was puzzled:
"Do the pigs only eat this much in one meal? Or do they feed the piglets?"
The Old Song family raised a lot of pigs this year, and they added fragrance to their own pens. Xiang is a big pig with two males and one female. He bought six piglets, and the big white pig is pregnant...
Chen Xi and Chen Chi have returned from school and have a difficult task!
At this moment, he smiled and explained: "This is not for those free-range pigs. There is a big pig that is pregnant. This is food prepared for it."
"Don't eat too much for extra meals. ”
Pregnant sow? !
Everyone was curious: "Can we see it? We haven't seen it yet."
Chen Xi smiled heartily, but her refusal was firm: "It's not convenient after all, she is pregnant. There are too many people to scare the big pig.”
"If you want to see the pigs, the big pigs and the little pigs are walking back and forth on the river beach. They are very friendly, so feel free to look at them."
After thinking for a while, he pointed to the corner: "There is a shoe brush over there. Take your shoes." Just shout "luoluo" and a pig will come over."
"Brush their hair with a shoe brush and brush their whole body. They love this very much."
This activity is really exciting. All pigs love it, but the river beach is too busy and not every pig can enjoy it every day. Now that there are ten or twenty people coming to the river, Chen Xi has learned from the old Song family and can make clever use of the labor force.
So I talked very carefully at this moment: "They have rough skin and thick flesh, and the softness of that shoe brush is just right. They will lie down when brushed, and they will turn over when patted on the back." ”
"They are also clean. Although they may be stained with grass, leaves, mud and the like, the sun warms them up at noon every day, so they swim and bathe in the river..."
Pigs are actually smart and love to be clean. They were also happy to move from the pig pen in the back mountain to the vast river beach with water and grassland.
Everyday life is arranged very well.
Sure enough!
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately looked back at the corner eagerly, then put their feet up and looked at the pigs with different physiques in the herd of cattle and sheep. They immediately became energetic!
Seeing them swarming back to get their shoes brushed, Chen Xi smiled and then carried the bucket into the pig pen nearby.
Compared with the spacious indoor cattle and sheep pens, the pig pens were built later and are much smaller. But that's only relatively speaking. At least when Chen Xi entered, he always felt spacious.
The big white pig is two months pregnant and will probably give birth in more than thirty days, but it may be too pregnant and it doesn't like to move much recently.
No, the other pigs are wandering around the place and like to sleep in the pig pen outside, but it is a pig that comes back indoors, full of straw, and the sunshine... from time to time. And extra meals!
Chui Zai is so comfortable!
There is also a wild boar at home that is also a boar. Originally, it could be bred without Xiangxiang, but this wild boar was changed to domesticated. After seeing it before, Professor Song suggested that breeding should be arranged after 12 to 15 months.
Now, the big white pig is pregnant with Xiangxiang’s baby!
Seeing Chen Xi coming over at this moment, his fat body quickly rose up from the straw pile, and then he hummed and came to the bucket, shouting loudly for him to hurry up and serve the food.
Every time he saw this beggar, Chen Xi felt that it was just pretending to lie still.
But those who pretended not to pretend had their babies, so he neatly poured the hot rice in the bucket into the trough. No other pigs came to fight for it, and the big white pig ate without raising its head.
Chen Xi took this opportunity to check his physique. It was all cooked, and the big white pig didn't resist at all. But after a few bites of the small bucket of extra food, the big white pig opened the door with satisfaction and strolled out for a walk.
Chen Xi went to check whether the straw was damp and rotten. He also cleaned the pig pen twice and rinsed the pig trough with water before carrying the bucket back.
On the way, he saw five or six newcomers surrounding two or three pigs, working diligently with shoe brushes, which made the pigs groan and lie down, and he couldn't help but laugh again.
Living here is really comfortable, and my heart is more likely to be happy.
......
The older brother is busy, and the younger brother is not idle either.
Chen Chi’s task today is to pull duck and goose eggs.
Originally the ducks are very well-behaved, although at first they couldn't help but lay eggs everywhere. They can be seen everywhere in the water, in the reeds, on the shore... they are everywhere.
But after Dabai’s education, everyone became quite honest.
In addition, we bought a new batch of ducklings this year. They wiggle their butts and go to the river every day. Everything is still in order, and the eggs are laid in fixed places.
But before, Little Ten and Little Eleven sneaked over to take a look and startled them, so much so that now they were back to their old ways. Not many duck eggs were seen in the nest for two consecutive days, so Chen Xi knew something was wrong.
No, after finishing his work at noon, Chen Chi's tasks were arranged.
Zhang Wang's family is running a machine to stir the fermented manure. The sealed lid blocks it. The smell is not obvious, but it is obviously not a tiring job, so he still has time to comment on Chen Xi's arrangement:
< br>“It’s good to leave this job to Da Chi. I see that he loves doing it.”
"That's not true," Chen Xi also laughed: "He is hunting for treasure! He is probably more meticulous than the two of us."
It took only a while, but Lao Yuan saw that another basket had been sent back. .
Chen Xi also followed up and asked, "Where did you pick these duck eggs?"
Light cyan oval duck eggs were piled one by one in small baskets, and they were huge. It's well-proportioned and looks like a good egg at first glance.
What a pity it would be if this broke!
Chen Chi pointed to the front: "I listened to my brother and picked it up on the shore first."
"Okay," Chen Xi understood, and then put the duck eggs aside alone: "When we have dinner later Bring it to Qiao Qiao. These can be pickled with salted duck eggs. "
"Be careful when looking at the reed swamps. If they are not duck eggs, don't pick them up. They may be the eggs of other wild ducks and mandarin ducks. "
It is said that there is another Kunichi, but he has not studied ducks or anything, and rarely has the opportunity to stand by the river and admire it slowly, so he doesn’t know which one it is at the moment.
Chen Chi nodded, not at all impatient with Chen Xi's repeated instructions. Instead, he took the basket and asked, "If you pick it up in the water, should you put it alone?"
< br>
"Yeah," Chen Xi nodded: "Put it alone. Eggs soaked in water are easy to break, so you have to take them back to Lao Song's house quickly. After they are made into salted duck eggs, you can only eat them by yourself."
< br>Otherwise, it would be troublesome if something goes bad when sold.
Chen Chi nodded, and then took back the basket: "Brother, don't worry! I'm good at treasure hunting! I'm a treasure hunter, and my name is Piggy Bear!"
Chen Xi couldn't laugh or cry: So What kind of Nezha is needed to raise a big piggy bear?
But he didn't say anything, he just waved his hand: "Go quickly, it's best to finish picking it up today, otherwise it will get worse tomorrow." (End of Chapter)
