Chapter 138 Picking up snails
There was indeed a pile of vegetable leaves in Boss Zhu's backyard.
It can be inferred that Brother Mihua ordered all the vegetables that can be eaten in this season.
100 dishes? Mihua is so willful. They only have 23 mouths to feed, but they want to eat 100 dishes for one meal. It's such a waste of money. They treat money like dirt.
Tsk tsk.
Yang Cheng shook her head. Her own Qin Che knew how to live and didn't spend money recklessly. She had never seen Qin Che eat snacks or lick ice cream. At most, he would accompany her to drink milk tea. There were not many good men like him.
Qin Che is a rich man, and rich people don’t spend money recklessly, so who will they spend the money on in the end? Of course, his wife and children.
Yang Cheng didn't need his money, so he could spend it on their children. Yang Cheng was so relieved. He knew his children would be blessed in the future and would receive the best training and education from birth.
Yang Cheng found a large urea bag in Boss Zhu's backyard and put all the vegetable leaves in it. The bag was bulging and half full.
Before leaving, Yang Cheng asked Boss Zhu if he could come to his place every day to buy vegetable leaves. After all, to ensure that the chickens had a balanced diet, they couldn't just eat vegetable leaves for a meal.
"Sure, Boss Yang, from now on I'll put the leftover vegetable leaves at the door and you can just come and pick them up!"
Yang Cheng took out a wad of change from her pocket, and Boss Zhu quickly held her hand down, "No, no, no, these vegetable leaves are worthless, we don't want them, don't give me money! Giving money will hurt our relationship!"
"Hehehe..."
Yang Cheng forced an awkward smile and pointed at Niuniu and said, "I wanted to give her a few dollars to buy ice cream..."
Boss Zhu: ...I am superficial...
Yang Cheng took out a 5-yuan note and put it in Niu Niu's hand.
"Niuniu, sister will give you 5 yuan to buy some green tongue to eat."
"Thank you sister!"
Niu Niu happily took the money in her hand and ran away happily.
Yang Cheng walked along the muddy road, dragging vegetable leaves along the way.
She is thinking about a question now.
How to get more snails?
Chickens actually eat meat, and snails are their favorite food.
If you really want to achieve balanced nutrition, the best way is to combine meat and vegetables.
Yang Cheng didn’t think about this when she was raising chickens in her hometown before. She just wanted the chickens to eat feed quickly, grow up quickly, and be sold for a good price quickly.
It’s different now. She is going to participate in the "Chicken King Competition". The chicken beauty pageant is very important. Professional chicken farming judges can easily distinguish the chicken's physique, physical fitness and mental state.
A chicken that is raised only on feed has a very dull expression and will not respond to a single one of the calls you make to it.
However, a nutritionally balanced chicken will respond to you ten times if you call it once.
This is the difference.
Yang Cheng saw this while reading a book yesterday morning.
The dull chicken will be eliminated by the judges before it even opens its mouth. After being eliminated in this stage, it cannot continue to pass the next levels. The competition system can be said to be quite strict.
I have read most of Yang Cheng's book and now I want to apply the theory to practice.
The book says that chickens must eat more meat.
Although chickens eat earthworms, bugs, spiders in addition to snails... snails have the best value for money.
First of all, snails are easier to find, easier to catch, and they are clean and hygienic.
Secondly, the snail’s shell works wonders.
Because chickens have no teeth, food goes directly into the stomach without chewing, making it difficult to digest, so they need something hard to aid digestion.
Many chicken farmers choose to feed their chickens small stones, but snail shells are actually also acceptable. Not only can they promote digestion, they can also provide calcium for chickens.
(The author has something to say: The rest is just nonsense, but the part about chickens not having teeth is true...)
Where are there the most snails? Of course, in the vegetable garden.
The problem is which vegetable garden to catch them and who to ask to catch them.
Yang Cheng doesn't have time to catch them herself now. In addition to the book "Self-cultivation of a Chicken Farmer", she also bought some foreign classics online and started to read them in the next few days. Who knows how perverted the person who sets the questions will be?
She wandered around the village dragging vegetable leaves behind.
While swimming, I met Zhu Yaotian who came back from cleaning.
"Secretary Zhu? Do you know where there are a lot of snails?"
"snails?"
Zhu Yaotian looked at Yang Cheng in confusion. His face was still red and covered in oil.
"The vegetable garden is full of them. The villagers in our village never use pesticides on the vegetables they grow. They only use natural organic fertilizers. Apart from the stench, there are no other problems. The vegetables taste especially good..."
"What does this…have to do with snails?"
"Because we don't use pesticides, there are a lot of bugs on the leaves, especially the snails you mentioned. If you turn over a leaf, there will be a snail underneath."
After saying that, Zhu Yaotian took Yang Cheng to the east of the village.
It is a concentrated area where villagers grow vegetables. Because it is close to Zhuzhu River, it is very convenient for watering and fertilizing.
Yang Cheng turned over a leaf and saw a big snail crawling with a small snail on its back.
Zhu Yaotian wiped the red sweat off his face with his red hands, "Boss Yang? If there's nothing else, I'll go back. I'm so sleepy."
Yang Cheng pulled out a piece of paper from Boss Zhu's pocket and handed it to Zhu Yaotian, "I have another piece of paper here, wipe the sweat off your face. Civil servants nowadays have a hard time! They also have to clean the place."
When Yang Cheng graduated from university, her mother kept nagging her to take the civil service exam or become a teacher.
Yang Cheng’s mother said that these two jobs are very stable and will not make them poor for the rest of their lives. And the most important thing is that it will be very easy for girls to get married if they can get into these jobs.
It is said that after the daughter of Mr. Liu was admitted to a certain unit, she fell in love with the son of the director. Now they are living happily together, traveling, eating out, and leading a comfortable life.
And Old Wang’s daughter passed the teacher’s exam, married the principal’s son, and was soon promoted to grade director. I heard that she was rated as a senior teacher at the age of 30. Her life is perfect.
And the daughter of so-and-so passed the exam to become a village cadre, and fell in love with the son of the village chief, and they drink tea in the village every day.
……
When Yang Cheng heard her mother talking about these gossips, she rolled her eyes to the sky.
Where did all these directors' and principals' sons come from? Would they be interested in me?
I have no family background, I'm not pretty, and I don't know how to deal with people. Even if I pass the exam, I'll just be cannon fodder doing odd jobs.
Yang Cheng would never take the exam. Aren't all other jobs not jobs except for civil servants and public institutions? Isn't it good to start a business by raising chickens at home?
These adults only see those who live well. Most people without a background live a hard life.
For example, Zhu Yaotian.
Yang Cheng felt that Zhu Yaotian definitely had no background.
It is said that he passed the examination to become a rural civil servant right after graduating from university. Ten years have passed, and he is still working hard in Zhuzhu Village, with no sign of being promoted to the city.
In addition to doing administrative work in the village, villagers say that he also has to do environmental sanitation work on a regular basis. In short, he is very busy every day.
Zhu Yaotian took the ball of paper from Yang Cheng's hand, unfolded it carefully and wiped it on his face. In an instant, the ball of paper also turned red.
