Chapter 137 Preparation
Back home, Lin Fanghou was still sitting on a small bench competing with the pot of radishes and vegetables. Although it was early spring, the weather was still very cold. His exposed hands were red from the cold. Like ten brightly colored carrots.In fact, the well water is warm, not cold, but it looks bright red, which makes people feel very cold.

Lin Guoxiang didn't care about Lin Fanghou because she had something on her mind, she encouraged him a few words, and rushed into the study room, then pushed him aside under the stunned gaze of the scholar, and then opened the big drawer of the desk He took out a stack of blank paper, and said to the scholar, "You help me sharpen the ink."

Lin Guoxiang, a modern person, is really not interested in grinding ink, and always feels that it is a waste of time and troublesome.It's a pity that she couldn't make pencils, otherwise she would have thrown this pile of brushes and inkstones into Java.

The scholar was kind and good, and quickly got up to rub Lin Guoxiang's ink, but he felt a little bit sad and indignant. It was his wife who rubbed the ink, and he read, wrote, and played with his eyebrows, but when he came to him, why did he completely reverse it?It would be a lie to say that he was not depressed, but when he thought of Lin Guoxiang's super combat power that was completely inconsistent with his image, Xiucai suppressed the trace of grief and anger in his heart.

"What did you think of this time?" Xiucai asked, on the one hand, out of curiosity, he wanted to know what Lin Guoxiang wanted to make, and on the other hand, he also wanted to mentally prepare himself to see if he had to help this time. How long she grinds the grinder.Speaking of which, this dead girl is really lazy, she usually writes a word without even grinding, and she just drags him to help.

"I don't do anything this time, I just want to write a plan." Lin Guoxiang grabbed the brush and wrote quickly on the paper, but the words on the paper were all simplified characters, if Lin Guoxiang hadn't talked about the future The simplified version of the words is like this, it is estimated that Xiu will think that what she wrote is all white.

"I plan to build the orchard into an ecological breeding garden while planting fruit trees." Lin Guoxiang wrote the plan quickly, and at the same time briefly explained some knowledge about ecological breeding to Xiucai, who listened to Xiucai in a daze. It's the first time he's heard that poultry can be raised in this way, and fruit trees can be planted in this way when he grows up so old. However, this knowledge is brought by Lin Guoxiang from the future, but he believes in this ecological breeding.

Then Xiucai fell into deep thought. After careful consideration, he pondered: "The ecological breeding you mentioned sounds good, but you can give it a try. However, since you want to stock the orchard For these poultry, fences and the like must be fenced around the orchard, otherwise it will be troublesome for those chickens and ducks to escape from the orchard. And we also need to prevent weasels and those wild cats and dogs from running in and stealing chickens and ducks.”

"I've thought about this a long time ago. I decided to surround the main orchard with barbed wire. At that time, let alone weasels, even people may not be able to enter." Lin Guoxiang dried the calligraphy on the paper, Without thinking about it, he replied, "I not only want to put barbed wire around the orchard, but also put a layer of barbed wire on the orchard, and then press down the branches of the fruit trees with small stones, which can prevent the fruit trees from growing wildly upwards. It keeps those flying birds from flying out of the orchard."

"Barbed wire?" Xiucai raised his eyebrows, "Is this also a future thing?"

"Well, more or less..." Lin Guoxiang held her chin and thought for a while, and finally said with some uncertainty, "It seems that this dynasty has never heard of such a thing. It should be regarded as a future thing."

Xiucai no longer struggled with the barbed wire, so he simply knocked on the table and asked Lin Guoxiang: "Even if you have done all this, if those poultry get sick, will they infect the fruit trees? You also said , Although pear trees are easy to grow, they are easy to get sick, don't stare at me, I just said what if, what if the pear trees get sick after these poultry are put into the orchard?"

The scholar's words made Lin Guoxiang ponder, and the enthusiasm just now gradually cooled down, and she became calmer a lot.After thinking for a long time, she finally said: "Even if the diseases of the pear tree are not raised, the poultry will still get sick in the orchard. It should have nothing to do with those poultry. At most, I will find a few more diligent workers to let them Just clean up the orchard a few more times and then strengthen the pest control of pear trees."

In fact, when Lin Guoxiang said these words, she was very confused, because in this era, effective pesticides for the prevention and control of fruit tree diseases and insect pests have not been produced, and those chemicals written in those agricultural books can be bought and used by her, but let her Making that was harder than killing her.

But... in this era, since there are people who can plant fruit trees well, there should be some more effective soil methods, right?Lin Guoxiang was a little uncertain, but the old man had planted fruit trees for more than 20 years, among which pear trees had been planted for the longest time. He should know some home-grown methods to treat pear tree diseases and insect pests, right?Thinking of Papa Lin, Lin Guoxiang's sinking heart suddenly became active again, and her mood gradually improved.

"Okay, these can be solved, so where do you plan to put so many poultry at night?" Xiucai glanced at the string of Arabic numerals on the paper. After several months of surprise training by Lin Guoxiang, he has already You can use the nine-to-nine multiplication table and these Arabic numerals to calculate, so there is no obstacle to seeing these things at the moment.

But the string of numbers still made Xiucai couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Good guy, he planned to raise two thousand chickens, ducks and geese from the beginning. This guy is not only brave but also doesn't take food seriously. Well, just feeding this piece of food can feed the poor. It is estimated that their family will run out of food before the harvest.

Let me explain here. In ancient times, poultry were usually fed with coarse grains accompanied by weeds and vegetable leaves. Unlike modern chicken farms, you can buy some special feeds with additives such as hormones, so the general domesticated Chickens and ducks grow very slowly, unlike modern broilers that can be slaughtered in about a month.

Xiucai tapped the number of poultry written on that piece of paper lightly with his fingertips, and said: "I think it's better to raise fewer poultry for the first time. On the one hand, we don't have much experience in raising poultry; More food, the most important thing is that ducks and geese are different from these grass chickens, and usually add some meat such as small fish, shrimps or insects to the food, otherwise it will be difficult for you to raise these things well.”

"Isn't there a small river in our village? Why don't we drive these ducks and geese into the small river and let them catch fish and shrimp by themselves?" Lin Guoxiang also knew that ducks and geese are omnivores and eat a lot, so She also dared to raise it because there was a river in the village, otherwise she would have to go to the town to buy some small fish and shrimps every day, and she would have to pay for it?In ancient times, even small fish and shrimps were very expensive, and she couldn't afford to buy them every day.

"Just that small river?" Xiucai was a little speechless to Lin Guoxiang, and didn't know what to say to her, "You don't even look at it. A large area is full, is there still a place for our house?"

In fact, there was one thing in his heart that he didn't dare to say, for fear that Lin Guoxiang would run away and kill him on the spot, that is, you put hundreds of ducks and geese into the small river at once, and robbed other people's ducks and geese. For rations, it's no wonder people don't work hard with you.

In other people's words, we won't stop you from making money yourself, but if you hinder us from making money, then I'm sorry, don't blame us for being rude.

Of course, Xiu would not say this, because it would be unkind to not break Lin Guoxiang's good wishes to get along with her neighbors and Lele.

"If it doesn't work, I'll raise earthworms!" Lin Guoxiang held back for a long time and finally clenched her fists and spit out this sentence, "Then I'll make my own ingredients, I don't believe it, I can't even feed a poultry!"

"Earthworm?" Xiucai couldn't help asking Lin Guoxiang curiously, "What is that?" Probably not a good thing.

"That's... oh, what's the name of the one you guys used to say... It seems to be called a ground worm?" Lin Guoxiang thought for a long time before she said with some doubts. One body, farther away, then the same thing may have different names, and they are all local names, and many people will not know what to say.But when you take out the real thing and put it in front of you, you will suddenly realize, oh, it turned out to be this thing after a long time.

"Earth worm?" Xiucai couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise, "Can that thing be domesticated?" Xiucai admired those modern people a little bit, it really can raise anything, even the kind that can't be found in the soil Everything can be raised.

"Then what's the matter." Changing Lin Guoxiang proudly this time, "Do you know locusts? They are grasshoppers. They are raised in modern times, and they make a lot of money. There are many other things, such as foxes, ferrets, Pheasant and so on, these are raised by people.”

After listening to Lin Guoxiang's words, Xiucai secretly wiped off his sweat, it seems that this time he has really learned a lot.

"Well, even if the feed is settled, where do you plan to put so many poultry?" Xiucai asked.

This time it was changed to Lin Guoxiang who despised the scholar: "Of course I made some cages that can keep out the wind and rain and put them in the orchard. Is there any need to ask?" After finishing speaking, she looked at him with an expression of "you idiot", The scholar who got it was very depressed.

"Then at night, I put our dogs into the orchard to patrol the orchard. I don't believe that a dozen big dogs can't see a few chickens and ducks?"

How many is that?Xiucai was a little speechless. More than 2000 chickens and ducks became a few in Lin Guoxiang's mouth. Seeing how relaxed she was when she spoke, she probably knew the hardship when she really started breeding.

"All right, all right, I can't say no to you." The scholar raised his hand in surrender, "Since you have considered all these, then try to raise it." As he spoke, he took a brush and dipped some ink in the lin fruit fragrance A circle was drawn on the string of Arabic numerals, and one thousand was written next to it, "Don't raise so many at the beginning, and wait until you have breeding experience."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Guoxiang thought for a while, and felt that what Xiucai said was right. It would be safer to raise fewer chickens and ducks if she didn't have much experience, so she nodded painfully in agreement.
