Chapter 108 New Life
Look at this, Cen Jiahua only found that his head was emerging from the originally empty straw nest. These pigeon nests were neatly arranged on wooden shelves nailed to the wall, with a total of five layers, and 1bsp of them were placed on one layer. Cen Jiahua never expected that the purchased pigeons hatched a lot of small pigeons quietly. At first glance, there were several small pigeons in them, and it seemed that there were still many.
Cen Jiahua checked one by one and then found that there were 12 small nests hatching 24 pigeons, and there were 15 small nests with two small pigeon eggs.
I only bought it a little more than a month, and more than half of these pigeons lay eggs and raised broods. It is really worthy of the high yield of 5-8 nests a year as mentioned in the book.
Some of these newly hatched pigeons have not even opened their eyes, but only know that they are crawling around in the nest with a chirping chirping. The loose fluff does not completely cover their fleshy bodies. They still look a little delicate and not as elegant as adult pigeons. However, their surging vitality is clearly felt by Cen Jiahua.
After a while, the pigeons that were pecking on the ground returned to their nests. The male birds rushed in and started to hatch eggs. Pigeons are a very loving bird. Generally speaking, the spouses are very stable and rarely abandon them at all.
During the egg hatching period, the couple worked together to raise their offspring well. At night, the females were responsible for the egg hatching work, and during the day, they were replaced by the males. As the saying goes, the husband and wife work together to cut off gold. With the cooperation between the pigeons and the wife, they hatched two small pigeons in about 6 weeks.
The male birds hatch eggs, and the female birds who are idle start to bathe in water or peck at sand, which is also their living habits. Pigeons are a kind of bird that loves cleaning and basically have to bathe in water once a day. Therefore, Cen Jiahua also specially prepared a large tank next to the pigeon loft, filled with water that is often replaced so that the pigeons can bathe and play.
The digestive system of pigeons is similar to other birds. They have no teeth, but the muscles of the stomach wall are very strong. Therefore, pigeons swallow directly and the food stored in the stomach needs to be digested in a special way. Pigeons constantly peck at the sand, and then use the tough muscles of the stomach wall to contract, and the keratin membrane, gravel and food to grind the food.
Considering the habits of pigeons, Cen Jiahua placed a large jar of sand in a corner of the pigeon loft to facilitate pigeons to peck at the sand, and a small amount of salt was penetrated into it. Of course, these salts were all mineral salts added to ensure the health of pigeons. These knowledge were only implemented by Cen Jiahua after reading them on the breeding materials.
The pigeons who had not yet hatched eggs and had no children were even more comfortable. After eating and drinking, they were strolling in the willow forest, making some intimate moves from time to time. They were really envious of birds.
Those doves can play easily. However, parents can have a rare leisure time in the nest. When they eat almost, they will have to fly back to the nest and start feeding their children.
The adult pigeons flapped their wings and stood on the edge of the nest. They grew up and pointed their mouths at the young pigeons. As soon as they saw their parents coming back, the little pigeons in the nest became more and more excited. They struggled to pounce on their parents. The young pigeons put their mouths into their parents' mouths and sucked the "pigeon breasts" secreted on the esophagus.
Cen Jiahua had always heard of "pigeons". He had eaten a lot of land and knew it was just a good supplement. But he couldn't figure out why it was called "pigeons". Until he started raising pigeons by himself, Cen Jiahua checked the relevant information and then understood the true meaning and source of "pigeons".
It turns out that before the young pigeons can eat independently, they need to feed themselves by their parents. However, this feeding is somewhat different from other birds. During the feeding period, the big pigeons secrete a nutrient called "pigeon milk". It is through these substances that the pigeons can raise the young pigeons smoothly.
Before the young pigeons can learn to eat independently, they all have to rely on the "pigeon milk" to maintain their growth needs. Therefore, at this stage, the young pigeons are also called "pigeons".
Looking at the touching scenes in front of you, Cen Jiahua was really a little crazy. Her parents really exhausted their minds about their children. Is animals like this, and humans not like this?
After feeding pigeons, the staff of the farm that stayed in the village at the foot of the mountain began to go up the mountain for 66 and started working day by day. Because the work intensity in the farm is not high, during the busy farming season, they can even take turns to replace the employees, so that the employees have time to help their family. The stable wages and basically do not affect the farm work at home, so now the few people working in the farm have become the envy of the villagers in the Rongshu Village.
After Ge Yazhou came, he gradually became familiar with the business of the farm and was able to manage it independently. After all, the technical content was not very high. However, in terms of some fund allocation, he still needed to ask Cen Jiahua for advice, and his autonomy was still the same.
Zheng Hai.
"Young Master Hua, there is not much corn left in the warehouse, so I have to buy some back quickly." Ge Yazhou was also a little awkward about Cen Jiahua's name. Finally, after thinking about it, he had to ask Cen Jiahua to be Hua Shao. He felt a little like a playboy and was very vulgar, but Cen Jiahua reluctantly accepted it.
"You contact several grain wholesale merchants in the county and ask how they have their inventory there. Then go to the county and buy it if the price is appropriate." When Cen Jiahua mentioned the corn inventory, he had a headache. As the scale of the farm expands, the more corn he needs every day.
However, Tianzhou is not the main corn production area. Farmers rarely grow corn, and most of the corn has to deal with those second-hand dealers.
Now the supply of corn is tight, and every time a few grain wholesale merchants in the county are scrapped, there are very few. The inventory in the warehouse is often under the cordon, and sometimes Cen Jiahua has to buy rice to replace it.
However, these tedious things can be left to Ge Yazhou for now. Apart from being a little too cautious, he is a reliable person who does practical things. Even if there are some things that he cannot decide on himself, just call for instructions.
After beating Ge Yazhou to the county town, he got through a few other chores about the breeding farm. Cen Jiahua ended her work and started a happy leisure life.
Under the influence of a group of tourists, Cen Jiahua recently began to learn fishing. He had to carry a fishing rod and row a boat to find a quiet corner to fish. He basically had no harvest every day, but he was still in a good mood.
What Cen Jiahua cares about is the fishing process, not the harvest itself. He fills a pot of boiling water every day, and then comes out with bottles of bottles and bags of snacks. He doesn't get ashore until lunch. As for the harvest, it's really not a lot.
Thinking about it, it's true. Half lying on the lazy chair, with the warm spring breeze, coupled with the enjoyment of tea and snacks, it is estimated that many people will not remember to fish, right? Even if they throw the fish hook into the water, they often wait until the fish has eaten up all the bait, and Cen Jiahua remembers to mention it.
In this case, it is really strange to be able to catch fish.
The fish in the reservoir are growing rapidly now, and some grass carp are close to 2 kilograms, but compared to the waters fed by some feed, it is not too outrageous. Cen Jiahua thought that in a few years, some huge fish could appear in the reservoir, about dozens of kilograms. In that case, the fishing charm of the reservoir will be even greater.
After all, for some fishing experts, the more natural the waters and the larger the prey, it can prove their fishing skills. Cen Jiahua wants the fish in the reservoir to grow in a natural environment as close as possible and become a fishing place recognized by fishing experts.
Cen Jiahua feels that she has been getting closer and closer to the lazy person recently, as if she can’t get interested in anything. She just wants to enjoy it all day long, enjoy it again and again! The ancients said: "Born in distress, die in happiness." There is no lie. In this kind of comfortable life, it is really a very traumatizing will.
Seeing Cen Jiahua leisurely boating on the lake every day, some tourists who often come to the reservoir to fish on weekends were envious and expressed their hope that Cen Jiahua could buy more small boats so that they could also enjoy the wonderful taste of roaming the mountains and rivers.
Cen Jiahua is really loyal to these requests. He has already started ordering more than a dozen small boats in the shipyard and will be delivered for use soon. Of course, the newly ordered small boats are naturally incomparable to their own small boats. They are far inferior in terms of quality materials and size.
However, as a general reservoir boat, as long as it is strong and has a certain carrying capacity, Cen Jiahua does not expect these small boats to be useful. With the addition of small boats, the manor will have a new project, which will give tourists an additional choice.
However, everything has its pros and cons. With a boat, the manor must be equipped with a life jacket, and certain regulations and restrictions must be made for tourists who rent the boat. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it will be really annoying. However, these things are not troublesome. Just search for some relevant scenic spots online and combine the actual situation of the reservoir, Cen Jiahua made a relatively standardized tourist notice, which has begun to be announced at the edge of the dock.
Everything in the manor is like a toddler, constantly exploring through continuous learning, and then gradually improving it. Of course, if you look at Cen Jiahua from a traditional perspective, his lazy style is indeed unqualified. He has a lot of resources, but he always repairs the construction of the manor. There is no overall plan, nor can he form a standardized reception as soon as possible.
Cen Jiahua's life was not long after he died, and soon something very lively made him find fun again.
ps: I am guilty and I don’t say anything anymore, I write with tears!!!
