Chapter 273
Lian Fangzhou hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just curious and want to take a look! I promise not to make any noise."
"I can't be the master either!" The old man's wife spread his hands and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I'll ask my old man later!"
"Well, then I can wait!" Lian Fangzhou laughed.
Lao Wangtou’s wife set up a small table outside the yard, poured tea for them, and entertained them outside the yard. Even Fangzhou and the others were influenced by her words and deeds, so they didn’t dare to speak loudly.
About half an hour later, I heard Old Wangtou shouting something in the room, and Old Wangtou's wife quickly got up and said, "Okay! Okay! Even girl, I'll go first, you wait at the door, if I can call you in!"
Lian Fangzhou nodded and agreed, "Okay!" He hurriedly followed, standing under the porch at the door.
After a while, Lao Wangtou's wife pushed the door and came out, beckoned and smiled, "Lian girl is coming, my old man agreed!"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Lian Fangzhou was overjoyed and quickly followed.
At this time, the special kang used for kang chicken has been opened, and the whole house is quickly smoked and warm.
The father and son of Lao Wang and his wife stood on the ground and stared nervously at the kang. There were two large bamboo baskets and a flat basket half a foot high like a flat dustpan.
Lian Fangzhou approached gently, looked into the kang with his eyes, only to hear a slight crisp sound, and countless chicks pecked the thin eggshell and broke out almost at the same time.
As soon as a chick broke out of its shell, the old man's wife, who was wearing gloves, picked up the bloody eggshell briskly and threw it into the bamboo basket beside him. The two were busy catching the chicks that were just out of their shells and were still wet and unable to stand upright and chirping, and placed them on a slightly higher platform in the middle of the kang.
After three or four minutes, the hair on the body was dry, and the legs and feet stood up vigorously. They were all furry and cute. The old Wangtou father and son took one shot at the same time, grabbed the chickens that had dried their hair and stood firm, and placed them in the flat basket...
The three of them acted slyly and gracefully, no one said a word, only the tender chirping of countless chicks in the whole room.
The feathers on these chicks are yellow, gray, black, brown, black-gray, brown-black and other colors. Lian Fangzhou glanced at the flat basket, and his heart was full of joy.
She didn't disturb the three of them, and after watching for a while, she quietly withdrew out.
With the first batch of chicks, she thought that in the future, she should not need to buy any more chicks, and she could set aside some of the hens as breeders and let them hatch eggs.
One after another, it is enough to leave two hundred who just want to come.
Lao Wang's kang chicken is really good. All the eggs were broken out of their shells within half an hour.
Lian Fangzhou was amazed when he saw it, this time he has really gained a lot of knowledge.
You must know that even if the hens are brooding and hatching eggs, they never break out of their shells within half an hour, and generally break their shells within a day or two.
After all the chicks were packed in the flat basket, Lao Wangtou smiled at Lian Fangzhou: "Miss Lian, it can be transported back, although it is still a little cold tonight, but so many chicks are crowded together. It won’t be cold either. When you go back, remember to feed warm water first, and then feed millet after two quarters of an hour. Don’t feed too much on the first day…”
This is similar to what Lian Fangzhou knew in his previous life, but of course she would not say it, but smiled and nodded in agreement.
The old man smiled and said, "I'm really sorry Miss Lian, I'm really tired, so I'm going to rest first!"
"You've worked hard, please do it!" Lian Fangzhou hurriedly said.
Old Wang's head was sunken, his eyes were red from boiling, his beard was droopy, and his dark face was so thin that it was the bark of old Zhang, and he was too haggard.
His son, though younger, looked equally haggard.
This kang chicken is really not an easy job. No wonder their father and son only have a few kangs in the spring. This kind of work is impossible to do all year round.
Seven hundred chicks were packed in four flat baskets, two were packed in a car, and a few people left.
After clearing the account this time, Lian Fangzhou gave Lao Wangtou's wife an extra 2 taels of silver, and Lao Wangtou's wife was surprised and delighted to thank him and sent Lian Fangzhou and the others all the way.
The donkey cart came directly to the chicken coop at the foot of Xiaohuaguo Mountain at Sanchakou. In addition to Sun Changxing and his wife, Zhang Xiaojun and his wife brought Zhang Liang over to help. Aunt San and Lian Fangqing were also waiting.
After dispatching the hired donkey cart, a few people carefully carried the four flat baskets of chicks to the two chicken coops and put them down carefully.
Hearing the chicks chirping non-stop, tender and crunchy, people's hearts were filled with joy, and everyone was chatting excitedly in a low voice, lest they would surprise the chicks.
On the top of the mountain, Sun's wooden house can boil water. Lian Fangzhou had let Sun's boil water to cool down. At this time, he took a small bucket down and used a large bamboo to cut the two halves to make a water tank and fix it to the ground. Let the chicks drink water.
There are several bamboo sinks in each coop.
The chicks stared at it for a while in amazement, and then ran over with some bold chirps, stretched their necks and sipped water with their pointed, tender yellow mouths. After taking a sip, they looked up at the sky and swallowed.
With the leader, more chicks soon swarmed up, chirping and drinking water. How cute is that look.
"It's so cute! It's so fun!" Lian Fangqing smiled with her brows and eyes curved. She couldn't help squatting down and reaching out to gently touch one of the tentacles. The fluffy, soft tentacles tickled her palms. Lian Fangqing couldn't help giggling lowly.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel itchy when he saw it, so he squatted down and reached out to touch it.
Seeing this, Mrs Li hurriedly pulled her son up, shook her hand gently and winked.
Zhang Liang's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he was sensible and didn't touch it any more.
"Sister, I'll take a few home to raise, okay! Sister!" Lian Fangqing suddenly came to Lian Fangzhou and took her hand and said coquettishly.
"That's right! Our yard is so spacious that it's no problem to raise ten or so! Ah, no, twenty or thirty are fine!" The third aunt also nodded hurriedly.
Lian Fangzhou thought about it for a while, but he shook his head at Shang Lian Fangqing's hopeful eyes, and laughed when Lian Fangqing was disappointed and was about to continue the torture: "Why bring it home to raise such a family? What's the trouble? Didn't Qing'er always want to share her sister's worries? Well, my sister really doesn't have much time to manage these chickens, why don't I leave it to you to take care of it?"
"Really!" Lian Fangqing was overjoyed, his eyes were suddenly dazzling, and he smiled happily: "Are so many chicks entrusted to me to raise!"
Lian Fangqing suddenly felt a strong sense of responsibility. From now on, she is also someone who has "errands".
