Hello 1983

  Chapter 35 Feed recipe

  The lunch was sumptuous, and the guests and hosts were very happy.

   Zhang Zhaodi served a large pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms. The chicken is full of fat, golden, and the mushroom soup is full. You can smell the rich aroma without eating it.

   "Come, come, Brother Li, and Guoxin, try some mushrooms."

  The uncle Boss talked attentively, and then glanced at Liu Qingshan who was sitting next to Li Guoxin.

The latter immediately understood, and began to cooperate with the boss uncle to sing the double reed: "This dish is very particular in our countryside. Only the new uncle can enjoy this kind of treatment. This is called the new uncle coming in, the chicken is dead ,Ha ha!"

clever!

  The boss uncle wanted to give Liu Qingshan a thumbs up.

  With Liu Qingshan slipping by, the atmosphere is of course good. The most important thing is that the dishes are also really good, all of which are pure natural local game.

  Especially the clam meat with Huang'er, which was praised by Li Zhong again and again, and his face was flushed from drinking.

  That's right, Li Zhong had been drinking, and he hadn't drank less. After a while, he drank more than a dozen cups, all of which were five-cent wine cups, which was only a catty less.

  Drinking until after two o'clock in the afternoon, when the banquet was over, then Master Li Zhong, when he got off the kang, he was walking loose.

  Liu Qingshan was really worried whether Master Li could still step on the brakes.

   Originally, the two of them were going to leave after eating, but Liu Qingshan insisted on procrastinating, letting them rest for a while to sober up.

   After chatting for a long time and drinking two large cups of strong tea, they entered the cab, put on white line gloves, and touched the steering wheel. Their feet did not tremble, their hands did not shake, and their eyes were bright and sharp, as if they hadn’t drunk alcohol.

  As expected of an old driver, ordinary people really can’t learn this skill, Liu Qingshan also muttered secretly, next time they can’t be allowed to drink like this.

  There are also three young people in the village who also took the Great Liberation together, namely Zhaodi and Liandi from the boss’s uncle’s house, and Zhang Dalu, the eldest grandson of the branch secretary.

   While still at the wine table, Li Zhong patted his chest and promised that he would take a few apprentices to learn how to drive.

  Actually, people also understand in their hearts that both parties are interested, and this is how it happened.

  When the two big Jiefang vehicles disappeared into view with dust, the villagers congratulated the old branch secretary one after another, and even joked with Boss Zhang, saying that he sold the girl.

  Although these words are a bit sour, but most of them are envious.

  You know, for farmers like them who plan food in the soil, if they can learn a craft, it can be regarded as a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

  The old party secretary waved his hand: "Let's rest today, and start building the greenhouse tomorrow, and everyone will be busy."

  The crowd dispersed. Liu Qingshan didn't drink a drop of wine, and followed Datou and Er Biaozi to the village. Er Biaozi muttered a little dissatisfied: "Actually, I also want to learn to drive."

  Liu Qingshan smiled at him: "As farmers, we learn how to drive, and we have to learn how to farm."

  What, farming still needs to learn?

  Er Biaozi looked at Liu Qingshan: "Sanfenger, you don't seem to have a drink?"

  Liu Qingshan rolled his eyes at his little friend and said, "You think I drink too much and talk nonsense. Do you know how to grow rice?"

  This really doesn’t work.

  Er Biaozi shook his head. They are all dry fields, not paddy fields. Let alone rice, he doesn’t even know what the rice looks like.

  Liu Qingshan finally expressed his plan: "The grandfather Wang who was in our Jiapigou before gave me a letter of recommendation. He is going to Hei Province to learn rice cultivation. I am going to recommend you to go."

   "Er Biaozi, you have a clear mind, study hard, and you will become an agricultural technician in the future."

  Me, a technician? !

  The pie was too big, and it made Er Biaozi dizzy.

   "What about me?"

  The big head is also in a hurry. He is also very envious of Li Guoxin who opened the Great Liberation, and he eats delicious food everywhere he goes.

  Liu Qingshan patted him on the brain affectionately: "You, from now on, you should think about planting greenhouses carefully, learn all the books I gave you, and strive to become a greenhouse planting expert in the future."

  Me, an expert? !

  Big head was also knocked out like Er Biaozi.

  Looking at the two little friends, there was nothing left to laugh about. Liu Qingshan smiled: "Comrade technicians and experts in the future should start with small things in a down-to-earth manner."

   "Come on, help me do some work first, and carry those clams by the road to my house."

   These are fished out of the river by the middle and small children in the village. They only pick the big ones, not the small ones. Each big clam scoop is more than half a foot long, and the largest one is nearly a foot long.

  The surface of the clam shell is dark, but the inner shell is extremely beautiful, shining with a pearl-like luster.

   "What do you want this thing for, it's a thief."

  Big head muttered something, but he went home and got two wicker baskets, and the three of them worked together to pick up all the clams into the baskets.

  Of course this stuff is very useful. Liu Qingshan plans to buy a small crusher to crush the clam shells and mix them into the chicken feed to supplement calcium.

   Just like free-range hens, if the intake of calcium is insufficient, they will lay soft preserved eggs.

  The outer shell of the egg is soft, like thick paper, and it will shatter when pulled.

  Farmed laying hens cannot wander around for food at will, so we must start with the feed to solve this problem.

  Of course, in Liu Qingshan's chicken feed formula, besides clam shell powder, there is another very important item, and he is also planning to implement it immediately.

  Pick up the clam shells and bring them home. Don’t worry too much about them. There are them in the river. Organize the children in the village to collect them.

  In the chicken feed, there is another very important part, which is the intake of protein.

  Compared with fed layer hens, free-range chickens lay eggs with yellower yolks and more elastic egg whites.

  After it is cooked, the difference is even greater. When the local egg is fried, it is called golden.

  Some experts said that these two kinds of eggs have similar nutrition, Liu Qingshan scoffed: Since they are similar, why is the price so different?

  The reason for this difference is mainly because free-range chickens can find small bugs and earthworms when planing food, and can directly supplement animal protein. This is the key.

  So, Liu Qingshan thought of a simple and easy way to support the industry of breeding hens: breeding earthworms.

   At that time, add earthworm powder to the feed, and the eggs laid will really be no worse than native eggs.

  This matter has been planned for a long time. The materials shipped back this time include more than a dozen bags of cement. He paid for it himself, and then bought it from the production materials station under the banner of the county magistrate Zheng.

  Now there is a shortage of building materials, if it weren't for the face of the county magistrate, I really wouldn't be able to buy them.

  Liu Qingshan's plan is to build a dozen simple ponds for raising earthworms first. This is the simplest thing, just put soil in the big tank, and it can raise it.

  In winter, plastic sheets are also buckled on the pond, so that it will not be frozen and will not affect the growth of earthworms.

  The pond for raising earthworms was set up in the open space behind his house. Liu Qingshan found a group of half-sized people and began to dig a hole.

   It should be more than two feet deep, dig a rectangular pool, build a layer of bricks on the bottom and around it, and put cement on it to prevent the earthworms in the pool from getting out.

  In the soil of the pond, sprinkle more broken firewood, and then sprinkle more on the surface. At that time, water it regularly and keep it moist, even if it is done, there is basically no technical content.

   It doesn’t take any wages to dig a pond. Anyone in the village finds a helper.

  In the eyes of Liu Qingshan, a small project is a big project in the eyes of the villagers, so many people strolled over to watch, and some even helped with it for a while.

  Zhang Ganzi also dug a few shovels, then hurried up, squatted by the edge of the pool, picked up the filter tip placed on the small square table, and smoked it happily.

   This guy is mainly here to smoke.

   Seeing this, Liu Qingshan also greeted the dozen or so half-aged men: "Come up for a rest, drink some water, smoke a cigarette if you know how to smoke."

  Everyone agreed, came up from the pool, lifted the table, and poured the herbal tea that Liu Jinfeng had dried long ago into his stomach.

   "Qingshan, you are doing well, what are you doing digging?"

  The boss uncle asked cheerfully, he is in a good mood today, the matter of the two girls is thanks to Liu Qingshan's help in threading the needle, so he came over to take a look.

  There is nothing to hide about this matter. Just as Liu Qingshan was about to answer, he saw Little Lao Si and Shan Xing, there were twenty or thirty kids running back.

  Every face was dripping with sweat, and there were strips of dirt.

   "Brother Qingshan, I have sixty crickets here, how many sugar **** can I exchange for them?"

  Si Huzi handed a canned jar to Liu Qingshan's eyes, and there were dark red earthworms writhing inside, the thickest ones almost reaching the size of little fingers.

   "Twenty earthworms, one sugar ball. Sister, send out sugar."

   Liu Qingshan smiled at Liu Jinfeng who was at the side, shouting.

  Three sugar balls!

  Si Huzi grinned stupidly, and took the sugar ball from Liu Jinfeng with his dirty little hands. There were colored stripes on the sugar ball, like a small leather ball.

   This thing is made of porcelain, and a sugar ball can hold it for a long time.

  The kids all exchanged a few sugar **** from Liu Jinfeng's hands. As for the earthworms they dug back, Liu Qingshan poured them into a well-made pond.

   With sugar **** in their mouths, the kids were full of energy, and they all ran to continue digging earthworms. There were all these things, such as the edge of the ditch, the bottom of the firewood pile, and the root of the fence.

  In their eyes, those earthworms are just sugar balls. Who can resist this temptation?

   "Sifeng, Wufeng, don't be tired!"

   Liu Jinfeng yelled, took out a handkerchief, wiped Caifeng and Shanxing's face, and then watched the two little guys run away helplessly.

  She felt sorry for the two little guys, so she couldn't help but blame the culprit, but think about what San Fenger told her about preparing feed.

  Think about the group of well-cared-for chicks, who almost went crazy when they were grabbing earthworms.

   There were also two chicks, who grabbed an earthworm and pulled it hard, but the earthworm broke in the middle, and the two little hairballs fell over.

  Thinking about it, Liu Jinfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing, then turned over the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Liu Qingshan's face.

  When the sun goes down in the evening, all the ponds are dug, but the number of bricks is limited, only enough to build two ponds, and the earthworms caught by the children are temporarily placed in these two ponds.

   These little guys also asked: Can I change the sugar tomorrow?

   After getting an affirmative answer, they all ran away happily.

Seeing that Zhang Ganzi also changed two sugar **** from Liu Jinfeng, and threw them into his mouth happily, his two cheeks puffed up, Liu Qingshan was also angry and laughed: You said you are such a big person, why are you still Like a child.

   But this is a good trend after all: lazy people also know to work.
