My 1995 Small Farm - #732 - Vol 3 Chapter 721: Build a shed to attract geese
Chapter 721 Building a shed to attract geese
It is not easy to attract wild geese to eat wheat seedlings, nor is it difficult to do so.
The main reason is that if there are people during the day, they usually refuse to fall and simply fly through the sky.
That’s why we need to lure the geese down.
It has been raining intermittently in the past few days, and the fake geese made by the children in the village have no use.
Yesterday, the sky was not particularly clear, and no wild geese passed by.
Until today, the sky cleared up completely, and these wild geese that had been staying to avoid the rain all flew together. The huge flock of wild geese presented such a spectacular sight in the sky.
Chen Ling grabbed Ruirui, who was about to run out, picked her up and followed her out.
Not far away, Yu Qian ran back panting: “I forgot to ask you, after calling the children, how do you release those fake geese? Just release them directly into the wheat field?”
“Go to the wheat field west of the village and put those wild geese together into a pile.”
Chen Ling said: “We will work in the east of the village in the afternoon. The wild geese will not dare to fall in the wheat field in the east of the village. Just put it in the west of the village. Let’s try it first.”
Yu Qian responded, turned around and ran away again.
The brat in Chen Ling’s arms was stunned for a moment.
Not only the children in the village have been clamoring about the matter of attracting wild geese for several days, but Yu Qian has also been thinking about it for a long time.
Now I see so many wild geese, they are running faster than anyone else.
Needless to say, the old boy was just like the other kids, he wanted to catch a few wild geese.
Chen Ling didn’t care about them.
He carried Ruirui in his arms and followed him. Unexpectedly, most of the people walking along the way were going to the east of the village to help him build a greenhouse.
Men, women, old and young, men and women.
Each one of them was carrying a kettle and a basket, with a teacup inside. This is really…
Chen Lingxin said, good guys, this is all prepared. After all, it is winter and everyone is free. Find a helper who can come to half the village.
“Fugui, hurry up and prepare a big pot. If the pot is too small, you won’t be able to cook enough for us, hahaha…” A woman laughed when she saw him.
“Don’t worry, Auntie, there’s definitely enough for you to eat. I’ll stew the meat when I get back later and make sure we’re full.”
Chen Ling also said with a smile.
“Are you too busy to come here? If not, I will help you take care of the baby. Ruirui has to let Susu take care of it when she goes back. You have two little ones at home. Can Susu and her mother take care of them?”
“It’s okay. I’ll take him over when I’m working later. Then, aunt, you can help me take a look at him. He’s generally quite obedient when he’s playing.”
“That’s good, Ruirui is a good kid.”
After chatting with the villagers for a while, Chen Ling saw a little kid jumping and waving to him in the distance, so he quickly walked over.
These monkeys have already taken out the fake geese they made and placed them in the wheat field.
“Uncle and grandpa, come quickly, we have already set up the formation, come over and see if it’s okay!”
Chen Ling walked over and passed by the wheat field. He discovered that there were more than ten blue-colored fake geese in the wheat field next to the dirt road outside the village.
One by one, they stretched their necks without moving and placed themselves in the wheat field.
These fake wild geese are made from unused wooden frames, discarded small benches, etc. found from various houses, wrapped with some straw rope, and then glued with wild goose feathers.
The wild geese that Chen Ling caught before were distributed to the villagers. After killing them and removing their feathers, they were definitely not enough, so many of them were mixed with duck and goose feathers.
Look carefully and you will definitely know that it is fake.
But this is all to trick the geese into coming down to eat the wheat seedlings.
The wild geese cannot be seen accurately in the sky.
As long as you see the same kind eating wheat seedlings below and they will fly down to eat, that’s fine.
As long as one geese comes down, other geese will fly down one after another.
“This is a bit close to the village, so we have to move a little further away.” Chen Ling looked at it, fearing that the geese would not dare to come down if it was too close to the village.
“Ah? Isn’t it possible here? Aren’t you helping your uncle build a greenhouse in the east of the village in the afternoon? There’s no one here.”
Children, you look at me and I look at you, a little dazed. They are thinking that they are close to the village and have a hiding place. When so many wild geese fly down, they will take advantage of the cover of the houses and trees and shoot randomly with their slingshots. They will definitely be able to hit them. To a large area of wild geese.
Now that Chen Ling won’t let them get so close to the village, their little plan will be over in an instant.
Wang Zhenzhen just ran over with Xizi at this time, after hearing what happened.
He shouted: “Brother-in-law, don’t we still know whether we can lure the wild geese down?”
Otherwise, let’s move it a little farther away. If that doesn’t work, let’s move it back again, okay? “
This girl has a lot of ideas as soon as her eyes roll.
As soon as she spoke, not only did the little kids agree, but Yu Qian also raised his hands and applauded.
Chen Ling didn’t expose them either.
He said: “Then you get busy. If it doesn’t work, I will drive out the wild geese at home. Remember to call Erhei for help.”
His words caused a burst of cheers from the monkeys.
Ruirui also wants to come down and play.
Chen Ling doesn’t want him to run around with these monkeys, and Hei Wa and Xiao Jin can’t follow him either.
So he coaxed him and said that he would go to the east of the village to catch little turtles later.
Coaxed him back home.
As soon as he reached home, Wang Jusheng ran over and said, “Fugui, what kind of meat are you stewing tonight? I haven’t killed the wild goose at home yet. Why don’t you kill it?”
“No, you can keep it for yourself.” Chen Ling smiled and said, “Come and see, when I was pulling bamboo poles, I bought a few pig heads from the countryside, which is enough to eat. Tonight we will have pig heads with steak.”
Pig heads are very cheap, and if you only use pig heads to entertain people, it will look too stingy.
So I still have to add steak.
In fact, if you entertain people at your own home, you don’t have to save money for your family like before. Chen Ling is not very willing to get this pig’s head. It’s not a matter of price. The main thing is that this thing is too difficult to handle and it takes a lot of effort to make. very.
But many people in the village have never forgotten it since they had a meal at Wang Laifu’s funeral.
It was specially meant to be eaten when he was building a greenhouse.
If people are eager to help, just follow their wishes.
Besides, he also promised it at that time.
Sure enough, when Wang Jusheng heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: “Let’s make braised pig heads again, good, good, good, this is great. When I came here just now, I met my aunt Laifu and their family, so I told her about the last time What happened…
Then you can clean up at home first. I will go and tell everyone quickly. Everyone will be happy. Brother Xian has passed just now. I asked Brother Xian to direct you. You can concentrate on dealing with these pig heads at home. There is no need to rush over. “
“…I’m building a greenhouse, so I don’t have to rush there?”
Chen Ling was dumbfounded for a while, good guy, it’s just a pig head, that’s all.
But on the first day of work, it would be okay if he, the owner, could not go there.
The earthen greenhouses in the countryside are inherently simple.
The first day is to build a wall with bricks, then paste thick yellow mud on the outside of the brick wall, and pile up the earth wall.
There is no technical content.
Besides, Wang Lixian was present.
Wang Lixian was not only a veteran in the construction team before, but he has also been growing greenhouses for two years.
No one in the village knows better than him about all aspects of building a greenhouse.
“Forget it, I’ll go to the village to clean up, and then I’ll stew it in the big pot over there.”
Chen Ling caught up with the bullock cart, took Ruirui with him, loaded several big pig heads on them, and returned to the village to pack them up.
Of course, it’s not like no one is here to help.
For example, He Jiawen and many other university teachers who are obsessed with cooking recently.
There are also Wu Fei and his wife who are celebrating Sunday today.
And two old men, Zhao Yubao.
“Tsk tsk tsk, Fugui, your luck is really good. No wonder everyone in your village says you are very lucky. Do you know what the **** cat you brought back from the mountains is?”
He Jiawen and several university teachers came and talked about this matter.
“Huh? Isn’t it some weird species?” Chen Ling asked quickly.
If it were really a black panther, it would be a pity to die.
“No, this thing is called a golden cat…”
He Jiawen was about to explain, but in the middle of the sentence, Chen Ling interrupted: “Golden cat? I know the golden cat. We have seen it before. The golden cat is grass yellow, or it is just the same color as a lion. Then This guy is more vicious than a leopard when meeting people, but golden cats don’t look like that at all.”
“You only know one thing but not the other, Xiao Chen. Teacher He is right. Although this golden cat is golden gold, this thing actually has many colors. How many colors are there?
Just like the native cats raised in your village, they come in all colors, including yellow, red, and flowery ones. Of course, this kind of black cat with a little red is rare. We used to only have it. We have seen it in photos, but in reality we have visited many places.
Think that the black golden cat is the same as the black panther.
Only appears in places such as tropical rainforests with relatively humid and hot climates.
Unexpectedly, I would find it here. “
Another teacher named Li said with a smile.
It can be seen that this discovery is indeed valuable, and the teachers are very happy today.
Both men and women caught Chen Ling and praised him.
“So, teachers, you want to…” Chen Ling couldn’t figure out what the teachers meant.
“Oh, now that we have made a new discovery, we plan to stay here for a while longer.”
He Jiawen’s face turned into a smile: “In addition, we have to make this black golden cat into a specimen.”
Well, I don’t want to leave now that I’m here.
Chen Ling was speechless.
But because they often teach children in primary school.
It’s not a bad thing to stay longer.
“Yes, but we are just here to help today. Xiao Chen, if you need any work, just send it to us.”
Teacher Li patted his chest and accepted the work.
They have long heard that Chen Ling makes pork head meat very delicious.
In the words of the villagers, it can simply knock someone’s head off.
Moreover, pork head meat has always been eaten as a side dish with wine, so it’s not that unpalatable in the first place.
But if the villagers can praise it so much, it must be indescribably delicious.
Mainly I heard that the villagers also said that the pig’s head will be fried. After it comes out of the pot, the pig’s head will be golden red and there will be fried tiger skin. How can you bear this? I can’t help but drool just thinking about it.
