Chapter 82 The breeding business officially begins
"Wow! What cute little chicks!" Yike shouted in surprise when he saw a group of chicks in the basket.
Those pairs of rice-sized eyes and tender yellow fur are so cute!
The chicks were frightened by Yi Ke's voice and they crowded together to find comfort. Their little heads popped in and out of the frame. Some of them squeezed into the middle of the flock, but were pushed out again by other chicks, chirping anxiously.
Yike hurriedly covered her mouth, not daring to make any sound, for fear of scaring the little babies again.
"Sister-in-law, you like chickens!" Wang Feng came close to Yi Ke and said flatteringly, "Next time I will buy more for you. This time there are too few, only more than 60, and I had to go to several production teams to buy these."
Yike quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, indicating him not to speak loudly and scare the chicken.
"Go, go away, why are you standing so close? Go and cover these baskets with cloth." Ziyi walked over and pushed Wang Feng away.
"Hey, that Wang, Wang what?" Yike couldn't remember Wang Feng's name for a moment and turned to look at Ziyi.
"Wang Feng. What do you want him to do? Just tell me what you want to do." Ziyi said with a dark face.
Yike didn't have time to pay attention to Ziyi's pettiness. "Wang Feng, put thicker grass at the bottom of the basket. Use soft hay. It's better to surround it with straw mats, just half of the basket. Chickens are afraid of cold, and so are ducks." Yike explained carefully.
"Okay! Sister-in-law, I'll make sure it's done." Wang Feng turned around to find hay and also pulled Ma Youcai along.
Ma Youcai was inexplicably dragged and staggered, and asked angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you pulling me? Big brother asked you to do it, but he didn't ask me. I still have something to say to my sister-in-law."
"Ma Youcai, you are obviously very smart, why do you seem to have a different brain sometimes?" Wang Feng said with a laugh.
"What do you mean? Who changed his head? Are you calling me a pig-headed person?" Ma Youcai asked with a red face, as if he was going to fight with you if you didn't explain clearly.
"No, I didn't say that. You said it yourself." Wang Feng pissed off Ma Youcai and immediately left him and ran away. Ma Youcai was so angry that he chased him and wanted to beat him.
Wang Feng hurriedly said, "Stop, stop. Do you want to be trained by Brother Ziyi?"
"What do you mean?" Ma Youcai's fist stopped just one centimeter away from Wang Feng's shoulder.
"Hey, brother, I was just helping you." Wang Feng pulled down Ma Youcai's fist and said earnestly, "Didn't you notice? Brother Ziyi doesn't like us to surround his sister-in-law." "Why?" Ma Youcai really didn't understand.
"I told you that your brain has changed, but you still don't believe it. Where is your usual smartness? You can't even understand this?" Wang Feng first looked down on Ma Youcai, and then said with a brotherly look, "Our elder brother Ziyi is jealous. Haha, he is jealous of our brother! In the future, don't get too close to your sister-in-law, otherwise the elder brother will definitely discipline you harshly. Haha, kid, be more careful."
Ma Youcai looked towards Ziyi in disbelief, wondering how their mighty and domineering eldest brother could also suffer from "tracheitis" (being dominated by his wife).
"Where are the ducks? Are there a hundred of them?" Not knowing that Ziyi's brothers had found out the truth in such a short time, she happily ran to see the basket containing the ducks.
"There are more ducks, about 135 in total, and those two baskets are full of ducks." Ziyi looked at the happy Yike and thought to himself that Yike liked these fluffy things, so he should buy more next time he goes out.
"Brother Ziyi, come and have a look. These ducks are in a bad condition and are dying. We can't leave them together or they will die." Yike felt a little sad. It was a pity for these ducks. "No, I still have to save them. What if they survive?"
"Throw them away, they will definitely not survive." Ziyi took a look, reached out to grab the ducks and wanted to throw them away.
"No, I'll put them together separately and try feeding them some medicine." Yike found some grass and weaved a small basket. The small basket was covered with thick hay and surrounded by hay, like a bird's nest. She took the homemade gastrointestinal pills, divided them into several small pills, and gave them to the four listless ducklings. Then she put the ducklings into the birdhouse basket and sealed the basket mouth with straw, leaving only some small gaps. You can hold this small basket by yourself without asking anyone else to do it.
"Ziyi, I will push the cart with more snakeskin bags, and Dong Guoqing will push the one with fewer. Wang Feng and Ma Shoucai will carry the baskets, and Liu Bing will carry the pig backpack. You can carry Yi Ke on your back. Do you think it's okay?" Du Qingcang came over to discuss with Ziyi.
"Okay, it's decided. Let's walk for a while and then change people. There are a lot of people today, so everyone can take turns to rest."
I feel funny. In Journey to the West, it was Zhu Bajie who carried his wife on his back, but Liu Bing had to carry Zhu Bajie on his back.
hehe! This time I only bought two piglets, each weighing about ten pounds, and they were both put in a backpack. But they are all skin and bones. It seems that the pigs are also starving.
"Let's go. Everyone follow me. Be careful of insects and snakes." Ziyi carried Yike on his back and walked towards home. Yike did not act pretentiously and lay obediently on Ziyi's back. Yike stuffed the small basket containing the ducks into his backpack, which was not sealed.
But their current location is in the cave behind Ma Youcai's mountain. Ziyi came out of the guesthouse early this morning, bought some big white steamed buns, ate while walking, and came straight here. This is the place where they agreed to meet. There were chickens and ducks, and there were so many of them that they would be discovered and searched in the city or the production team, so they bought them and put them in the cave. They would set out directly from here today.
There is strength in numbers, and people walk faster. This time it took them only two days and one night to return to their home in this paradise.
"Mom, godmother, I miss you so much." Yike saw Wang Cuihua and the others standing on the watchtower looking at them with an incredible look on their faces, probably surprised that there were so many people.
Yike quickly ran up to the watchtower and gave both mothers a big bear hug. He turned around and wanted to hug his younger brother, but Du Jiankang quickly stepped back and avoided the hug.
Wang Cuihua knocked on Xia Ke's head and scolded him with a smile: "Girls should be reserved and don't hug anyone they see."
"Kid, you wanted to go out with your father and the others, but you sneaked away without saying a word, making us worry. Don't do this again next time." Li Haoran's wife Zhang Yuling scolded Yike while checking her from head to toe to see if she was injured.
"Mom, I'm fine. Look, I'm healthy." Yi Ke turned around in front of Zhang Yuling and let Zhang Yuling check him.
"Mom, I'll take them to the hidden cave first and buy a lot of chicks, ducklings, and piglets. You can criticize me later." Yi Ke said with a smile.
Ma Youcai, Wang Feng, Dong Guoqing and Liu Bing have been staring with their eyes wide open since they stepped into the Liaowang Tower, passed through the tunnel and entered the paradise. Their mouths were as big as they could fit a steamed bun in, their eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets, their chins slammed on the soles of their feet, and their mouths were almost turned into big round holes, but no sound came out. Haha, we all lost our voice.
"Come on! Come in!" Yi Ke felt a little proud when he saw the young men standing at the entrance of the cave like wooden men. This is my home, beautiful and magical.
"Oh my god, this is amazing! Oh my god!"
"Oh my God! This is incredible! Is this true?"
"It hurts! Why are you pinching me?"
"Aren't you asking if it's true? Let me help you confirm it."
"Then why don't you pinch yourself? Look, my hands are all blue."
"Sister-in-law, this place is so magical. How did you find this place? It's such a good and magical place. I don't want to go back." Ma Youcai said with a sigh.
"I just found them randomly. You guys follow me. These chickens, ducks and piglets need to be put in the hidden cave."
Yike led them to the hidden cave.
"Wow! Holy crap! There's a place like this! Oh my god, even the Japs wouldn't be able to find it!"
"Is this inside the mountain? It's too secretive."
"Haha, I, Old Sun, have entered the Bull Demon King's stomach."
"A hole in a hole. If the hole is blocked, who would know there is another hole inside it?"
"Where does this water come from? Is there an underground river?"
When the group of young men entered the hidden cave, they were even more surprised. They started shouting exaggeratedly, with all kinds of expressions on their faces, such as amazement, excitement, confusion, etc.
Yi Ke looked at them with a smile and specifically told them that the name of the cave was Yin Cave.
"This is a good name, and it really fits the name. This is the hidden cave."
"Then there are two caves below, called Water Cave No. 1 and Water Cave No. 2. Both are caves with water, and the water is pumped up from Water Cave No. 2." Yike gave them a brief introduction to the water caves and also told them about how he was almost trapped to death in the caves when he discovered these caves.
"Sister-in-law, none of my adventure stories are as exciting as yours."
"Yes! Yes! My sister-in-law is really blessed with a good life."
"Yes, if the crack in Water Tunnel No. 1 is as long as the tunnel just now, my sister-in-law will not be able to breathe. You can't hold your breath in the water for long."
"My sister-in-law is so lucky!"
The young men all praised Yi Ke's good luck and looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Yike, don't let the piglet out yet. Dad said that domestic pigs can't be kept together with wild boars." Ziyi walked in and said.
"Should the chicks and ducklings be kept separately as well?" Yike thought about how the chicks and ducklings were raised in his previous life. It seemed very complicated when he thought about it. It was mainly about keeping them warm. The ducklings that were about to die are now alive and kicking again. It's not just the effect of the medicine, it's probably also because of the warmth of the bird's nest basket.
"Well, let's release them separately. Godfather and the others have gone to cut bamboo. We need to build a new chicken coop and duck pen to raise the chickens and ducks we bought." Ziyi looked at the location in the hidden cave and chose a few places far away from the wild pheasants and wild boars. "Just leave it there."
Yi Ke ordered the guys to move the baskets containing the chicks and ducklings over, and also ordered them to change the grass in the baskets. At this time, the chicks and ducklings could only continue to stay in the baskets for a while with grievance.
Ma Youcai, Wang Feng, Dong Guoqing and Liu Bing, led by Ziyi, also went to help cut bamboo and break bamboo strips. Everyone worked together and with more people the speed was fast. In less than two hours they had built two pens for raising chickens and ducklings.
First, you can cover the floor of the chicken coop and duck coop with thick, soft hay, use bamboo strips to separate the eating and sleeping areas, and use thick bamboo tubes to break up chicken dregs, duck dregs, and water dregs. The chicken coop and duck coop are completed.
The piglets were also kept by Ziyi and his team not far from the wild boar pen so that they could be put together with the pig manure for easy cleaning.
The desired breeding business has officially begun...
