Chapter 77 Raising a Dog
With the experience of training once, the second time will be much smoother.
The next day, when he got off work, Zhou Ziwen ran a few more times to get some straw and cow dung. After grinding them carefully, he finally completed the processing before dark.
Processing is continued on the third day, and then the culture medium is disinfected and sterilized.
On the fourth day, I went to the mountain and spent some effort to finally collect enough mushroom strains.
After returning home, I completed the cultivation of the strains overnight.
After working hard for several days, Zhou Ziwen finally finished the work at hand.
It was on this day that Zhou Ziwen's mushroom growing skill officially reached level three.
Bajiquan LV5 (355/500)
Fishing Level 2 (35/200)
[Stonemason LV1 (66/100)]
[Mushroom Planting Level 3 (2/300)]
【Cooking Level 4 (6/400)】
The third-level skill is considered to be an advanced level, and is no worse than those cultivators who often cultivate mushrooms.
"After being busy for a few days, I can finally have a good rest. From now on, I just need to follow the routine." Zhou Ziwen stretched.
"Brother Ziwen, I've fed the chicks. Remember to bring them into the house later." Chen Qiaoyi jumped in front of Zhou Ziwen.
These days, the happiest person is probably this girl.
A few cute little chicks became her playmates. She would stare at them whenever she had free time every day. If she hadn't been scolded by her sister a few times, she would have probably missed her housework.
"Yeah, okay."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Because he didn't have a chicken coop, he raised the chicks in the yard these days, and put them in a basket at night and raised them in the house.
Anyway, the chickens are still small, so there is no need to worry about them dirtying the yard for now.
But the chicks will eventually grow up, so Zhou Ziwen plans to put the chicken coop on the agenda next.
Before that, he needs to rest for a few days.
After being busy for so many days, he also wants to have a good rest.
Of course, his rest doesn't mean doing nothing.
After work, his way of relaxing is to go fishing by the river and chat with his future wife.
He has been busy cultivating mushrooms these days and has no time to go fishing, so he has been eating vegetarian food for several days.
Even Zhou Chaoyang couldn't stand it anymore and asked him if he could give him some fish.
This guy is not good at fishing, so he wants to exchange it with him for money.
Of course Zhou Ziwen would not refuse if there was money to be made.
Friends are friends, and business is business.
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly!
"Maybe I could get a dog."
Seeing Chen Qiaoyi and Jizai having fun, Zhou Ziwen had an idea in his mind.
It just so happened that he had one spot that was not being used.
Having a dog can not only give Yiyi more playmates, but also help her guard the house.
Before raising chickens, it didn’t matter whether I had a dog or not, but it’s different after raising chickens.
This thing will not only be remembered by animals, but also by humans.
If you don't watch it carefully, it might be lost at any time.
"Yiyi, what do you say about us getting a dog?"
Zhou Ziwen looked up and asked Chen Qiaoyi who was watching the chicks eating wild leaves.
"Is it okay?" Chen Qiaoyi widened her eyes in surprise.
"Of course, we still have one spot. I will go to the village tomorrow to ask if anyone has a puppy, and we will go and get one." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
In this era, puppies are worthless and are basically given away for free among villagers.
After all, dogs need food, and it would be hard to bear to throw them away. But if someone wants one, they would be happy to give it to them!
"I mean, can we afford it?" Chen Qiaoyi was a little tempted, but also a little hesitant.
They don’t have much food left, especially since Brother Ziwen eats so much. If they get a dog, they will be under even greater pressure.
"It's okay, how much can a dog eat?" Zhou Ziwen didn't care.
Not to mention anything else, he can support his family of three just by fishing.
It wouldn't matter if he had another puppy, since he would have food soon anyway.
"Then let's raise it!" Chen Qiaoyi nodded happily after receiving Zhou Ziwen's affirmation.
"Yeah." Zhou Ziwen touched her cheek lovingly.
Zhou Ziwen is a man who does what he says. The next day when he went to work, he asked his coworkers if anyone had a puppy.
"You want a dog?"
Master Chen looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise.
While other educated youth were still thinking about how to fill their stomachs, this guy actually had the leisure to raise a puppy.
The difference is too big!
"I have a few chicks at home. I'm afraid they will be taken away by weasels, so I plan to raise a dog to guard the house," said Zhou Ziwen.
"That's a good idea. These damn weasels often steal our chickens." Master Chen nodded in agreement.
His family had lost a chicken once before, but they learned their lesson and got a dog. Since then, they have never lost a chicken again.
"Master, do you know who has a puppy?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Haha, you are lucky, my dog just gave birth to a few puppies. They will be a month old in a few days. You can go to my house and catch one later." Master Chen said with a smile.
"So Master has it at home. Then I won't be polite." Zhou Ziwen's face lit up with joy.
He didn't expect it to be so easy to find.
"Haha, there's no need to be polite." Master Chen waved his hand.
Zhou Ziwen is his apprentice. Although they did not formally become his disciples, he is his first apprentice.
If Zhou Ziwen had not been so outstanding and a quick learner, he would not have accepted him, an educated youth, as his apprentice.
"I see you've been very busy lately. What have you been busy with?" Master Chen asked curiously.
In order to complete the mushroom cultivation work as soon as possible, Zhou Ziwen didn't even lay the stone slabs these days.
The lunch break is also used to grow mushrooms.
"I'm just growing some crops at home, but I'm almost done with it. It will be much easier in the next period of time." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
Next, his main job was to create the stone slabs and then build the chicken coop.
More than ten stone slabs have been made so far. In a day or two, a stone road will be paved in the yard.
However, he also planned to pave the Chen sisters' yard with stone slabs, so he would need to continue working for a while.
To build the chicken coop, he planned to use stones and bamboo.
Stones are used to build chicken coops and bamboo is used to enclose land.
This thing is not high-tech, it just takes some time.
After work in the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen followed Master Chen to his home.
Before he even entered the door, he heard a dog barking.
"Wangcai, stop barking." Master Chen just scolded, and the dog inside stopped barking.
"Master, your dog is very obedient!" Zhou Ziwen was a little surprised.
"Haha, after so many years, it must have become tamed."
Speaking of this, Master Chen was a little proud.
After all, he was the one who trained the dog.
After entering the house, Zhou Ziwen sat in Master Chen's house for a while and also got to know his master's wife.
Master Chen and his wife don't have any children. I heard that his wife seems to have some health problems.
Although there were some gossips, Master Chen did not care and never left his master's wife.
The couple has a harmonious relationship and respects each other.
