Lian Fangzhou laughed quickly: "I'm just curious, I want to take a look! I promise not to make any noise."
"I can't be the master!" Old Wang's wife spread her hands and said with a smile: "Or else, I'll ask my old man later!"
"Well, then I'll be waiting!" Lian Fangzhou laughed.
Old 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 dared not speak loudly.
About half an hour later, I heard old Wangtou yelling something in the room, and old Wangtou's wife quickly got up and said: "Okay! Okay! Even the girl, I will go in first, you wait at the door, if I can call you in!"
Lian Fangzhou nodded and said "Okay!" and quickly followed in, standing under the eaves of the doorway.
After a while, the old Wangtou's wife came out from the door, waved and smiled: "Miss Lian, come quickly, my old man agrees!"
"Thank you, ma'am!" Lian Fangzhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed in.
At this time, the special kang used to kang chickens has been opened, and the whole room is quickly warmed up.
Old Wangtou, his son, and his wife stood on the ground and stared nervously at the kang. Two large bamboo baskets and a half-foot-high flat basket like a flat dustpan were placed on the ground.
Lian Fangzhou approached lightly, looked into the kang, and only heard a slight crisp sound, and countless chickens pecked open the thin eggshell almost simultaneously and broke out.
As long as a chick breaks out of its shell, the old Wangtou's wife, who is wearing gloves, will pick up the bloody eggshell and throw it into the bamboo basket aside. The two were busy catching the chicks that were still wet and squawking just out of their shells and placed them on a slightly higher platform at one end of the kang.
After staying for three or four minutes, the hair on the body was dry, and the legs and feet were strong enough to stand up. All of them were so cute and fluffy, looking around and screaming with their small eyes like mung beans like paint. The old Wangtou and his son took each hand and put them in the flat baskets...
The movements of the three were smooth and gentle, and no one spoke. There were only countless chickens chirping in the whole room.
The fluff on these chicks ranges from yellow to gray, black, brown, black gray, brown and black, etc. Lian Fangzhou glanced into the flat basket, filled with joy.
She didn't disturb the three of them, and after watching for a while, she quietly retreated out.
With the first batch of chicks, she thought that she would not need to buy any more chicks in the future, and she could set aside some hens to be breeders and let them incubate eggs.
One after another, it is enough to leave two hundred people who want to come.
Old Wangtou's kang chicken was indeed very capable, all the eggs were hatched within half an hour, and there were still seven or eight bad eggs that couldn't get out of their shells.
Lian Fangzhou was greatly amazed, this time he really learned a lot.
You must know that even if a hen broods and incubates eggs, all the shells have never been hatched within half an hour, and the shells are usually broken one after another within a day or two.
After all the chickens were packed in flat baskets, the old Wang Tou smiled at Lian Fangzhou: "Miss Lian, you can take them back. Although it is still a bit cold this night, there are so many chickens crowded together. It won't be cold either. Remember to feed warm water first when you go back, and then feed millet after 25 minutes. Don't feed too much on the first day... "
This is similar to what Lian Fangzhou knew in her previous life, but of course she would not say it, but smiled and nodded in agreement.
The old Wangtou smiled and said: "I'm really sorry Miss Lian, I'm really sleepy and I'm going to take a rest first!"
"You've worked hard, please go ahead!" Lian Fangzhou hurriedly said.
Old Wang's head was sunken, his eyes were sunken, his beard was sloppy, and his dark face was so thin that it looked like old tree bark, extremely haggard.
His son, though younger, looked equally haggard.
It's really not an easy job to do chickens on the kang. No wonder their father and son only spend a few kangs on the kang in spring a year. It's impossible to do this kind of work all year round.
Four flat baskets were packed for 700 chicks, and two were packed in a car, and several people left.
After settling the account this time, Lian Fangzhou gave another two taels of silver to Old Wangtou's wife. Old Wangtou's wife thanked him repeatedly in surprise and joy, and sent Lian Fangzhou and others far away.
The donkey cart came directly to the chicken coop at the foot of Xiaohuaguo Mountain at Sanchakou. Besides Sun Changxing and his wife, Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaojun rushed over to help with Zhang Liang, and Sangu's grandma and Lian Fangqing were also waiting.
After sending away the hired donkey cart, several people carefully carried the four flat baskets of chicklings to the two chicken coops, and put them down carefully.
Listening to the non-stop chirping of the chicklings, which are tender and crispy, people's hearts are full of joy, and everyone chats excitedly in low voices, lest they startle the chicklings.
Sun’s wooden house on the top of the mountain can boil water. Lianfangzhou asked Sun to boil the water to cool it down. At this time, he brought down half a bucket and fixed it on the ground with a water tank made by splitting a large bamboo in half. Let the chicks drink water.
Several bamboo sinks are placed in each chicken coop.
The little chicks stared at it in amazement for a moment, and then rushed over boldly, screaming and screaming, stretched their necks and sipped water with their sharp yellow mouths, looked up at the sky after taking a sip, and swallowed.
With the leader, soon more chicks rushed up, and Jiujiu cried and drank the water. How cute and cute that look must be.
"It's so cute! It's so fun!" Lian Fangqing smiled with crooked eyebrows, couldn't help but squat down and reached out to touch one of them lightly. The furry and soft tentacles made her palms itchy. Lian Fangqing couldn't help giggling.
Zhang Liang couldn't help itching when he saw it, and couldn't help squatting down and reaching out to touch it.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly pulled her son up, shook her hand slightly and winked.
Zhang Liang's eyes darkened slightly, but he was sensible and didn't touch it anymore.
"Sister, let me take a few home to raise them, okay? Sister!" Lian Fangqing suddenly came to Lian Fangzhou's side and took her hand and said coquettishly.
"That's right! Our yard is so spacious, it's no problem to raise a dozen or so! Oh no, twenty or thirty are fine!" Sangu also nodded hurriedly.
Lian Fangzhou thought for a while, but shook his head when he met Lian Fangqing's dark eyes full of expectation, and when Lian Fangqing was disappointed and was about to continue pestering him, he smiled and said, "Why take it home to raise such a baby?" 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?"
"Really!" Lian Fangqing was overjoyed, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled happily: "Are all these chicks entrusted to me to raise!"
Lian Fangqing immediately felt a strong sense of responsibility. From now on, she is also someone with "errands".
