After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

Chapter 32 Building a Chicken Coop

◎Gu Zeyu built a chicken coop and got covered in mud spots. ◎

When the two reached the entrance of the village, it was already close to noon, and the smell of rice was already wafting from the village. From time to time, my aunt would call her children to go home. Dog eggs, cow eggs, and big cows abounded. , Nicknames are all of this type, and everyone in the village thinks that cheap names are easy to support.

So much so that when these people grow up, they all blame their parents for why they gave them such bad names.

However, I have been used to being yelled at since I was a child, and when someone yelled at me behind my back, I still responded subconsciously.

Gu Zeyu actually has a nickname, but he is not often called, so not many people know it.

Uncle Gu also always called Zeyu, but never called him by his nickname.

Seeing that it was time to eat, the uncle dragged Gu Zeyu to his home, saying that Gu Zeyu hadn't come to eat for a long time.

What can Gu Zeyu do, he can only laugh, respectful is worse than obedience, his stomach has been growling for a long time, he ate in a hurry in the morning, he was not full at all, and after walking for such a long time, he was so hungry that he was weak , if there are ten steamed buns in front of him now, he can eat them all in one go.

Followed to the uncle's house, and not long after entering the door, the eldest aunt found out.

The aunt first wiped her hands, and then said to Gu Zeyu: "Zeyu, you can stay for dinner, I'll eat some noodles today, and I'll make it for you."

The aunt looked at the uncle again and said, "Master, things are going well, how is Ah Xin doing there? Are you still used to studying?"

Gu Zeyu answered first, "Okay, Auntie, I'm so hungry that I don't want to go home and cook."

Uncle Gu was very happy when he returned to his wife. He said: "Ah Xin has studied well. It has been half a month now, and he has also adapted to the new wife and learning environment. The most gratifying thing is the teacher's The family mentioned that our family, Ah Xin, will be recommended to take the examination of scholar this year, so does that mean that our family will produce a gentleman?"

The eldest aunt was also very happy when she heard this, and said: "If this is really the case, then our family will have to thank the master very much. If Ah Xin is really admitted to the scholar, we have to celebrate it and set up two tables. Have a feast."

The eldest aunt couldn't calm down anymore, she paced back and forth, not knowing what to do for a while?

At this time, Gu Yu also heard the movement. Seeing that his mother had lost her hands and feet, he teased and said, "Mother, come and help me with the cooking. I don't have enough strength, so rolling the noodles is slow."

The eldest aunt just entered the kitchen and started rolling out the noodles, and the next one was ready.

Today is a good day, the eldest aunt boldly put a poached egg in everyone's bowl, golden yellow and fragrant with oil.

The amount of noodles served on the table is different. Uncle and Gu Zeyu, the two men who can eat, use big big bowls. A big bowl is full, which will make people full and full, while Brother Yu and Auntie They used ordinary bowls, and their appetites were relatively small, and they couldn't finish it if they filled too much.

Everyone is hardworking, and noodles are not often eaten. Most families still eat steamed buns and vegetables. It is a bit extravagant to use flour to make noodles. It is only in recent years that the conditions of the family have improved, and they will be eaten from time to time. Make a meal and improve your life better.

After eating, Gu Zeyu went home with the chickens and ducks he bought, and he had to go home to build a chicken coop and a duck coop.

First, I put the baskets containing the chickens and ducks in the yard, but I didn’t dare to let them out, for fear that it would be difficult to find them. They were too small, and they might have slipped out of the yard.

First, make some mud and build a small mud courtyard wall, and then find some wood from home to make four small fences, which will be used as the doors of this small house, which is also enough for ventilation, and the state of the chicken inside is clear at a glance, and then We plan to use the tiles left over from repairing the roof to make the roof of the chicken coop and the duck coop.

This is Gu Zeyu's initial idea.

But he got stuck at the first step. The mud was reconciled, but it didn’t take shape. It couldn’t build a small courtyard wall at all. After adding a lot of straw, it gradually took shape, at least it could make a brick. shape, and then slowly accumulated, the small earthen wall stood in place.

Then Gu Zeyu continued to work like this, mixed a lot of mud and added a lot of straw, then started to make earth bricks, built small earth walls, and finally made two small houses with only one opening.

The next roof is not so easy to make. The roof is the most difficult part of a house. You have to consider the beams and a lot of wood for support before you can make the roof. Gu Zeyu did it slowly. OK roof.

Then put the tiles on one by one, and paste some mud to make it stronger. After an hour, Gu Zeyu finally built the prototype of the small house. At this time, Gu Zeyu's clothes were already covered with mud spots, and his hands The upper sleeves were even covered with a layer of mud, which was very dirty.

Gu Zeyu didn't care, he was still working hard, he was very focused and kept everything out of it.

Unexpectedly, after a while, someone knocked on the door, but Gu Zeyu didn't hear it, the voice was too low.

The person who knocked on the door was Cheng Cheng. He agreed to come to Brother Gu's house yesterday. He saw that it was almost time, so he came, but there was no answer when he knocked on the door, and he didn't know whether he was at home or not.

Cheng Cheng yelled a few times and asked, "Is anyone at home? Brother Gu, are you at home?"

Only then did Gu Zeyu hear it, and he knew it was Brother Cheng when he heard the voice, so he threw the mud and ran to the door to open it.

When Gu Zeyu opened the door, he heard Brother Cheng's reproachful words.

He said, "Brother Gu, since you are at home, why did you come to open the door?"

Gu Zeyu argued that it was because he was too focused on his work that he didn't hear it. After he finished speaking, he forced a smile, trying to prove that what he said was true.

After hearing this, Cheng Cheng didn't say anything, but looked Gu Zeyu up and down several times, seeing that there was almost no spot on his body, so he burst out laughing, and said, "Brother Gu, how did you put yourself in the wrong place?" Did you make it like this? I already know from your appearance that you are absolutely focused on your work."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to reach the top of Gu Zeyu's head.

Gu Zeyu stared at Cheng Cheng's slender and soft white hand approaching him in a daze, and he didn't dare to move, his body became stiff.

Cheng Cheng glanced at him helplessly, and didn't see him lower his head a little, so he tiptoed to take off the straw from Brother Gu's head, and then held it in front of Gu Zeyu, saying: "Brother Gu, you There's a straw in your hair, I've got it for you."

Gu Zeyu finally regained his composure. It turned out that he didn't touch his head, but he misunderstood.

Cheng Cheng said again: "Brother Gu, you don't know how to lower your head, I almost can't reach it." He was muttering secretly in his heart, he is so tall, he looked down at his shoulders, he was really tall It's amazing, but in fact Cheng Cheng is nearly 1.7 meters tall, which is already relatively tall among brothers in this dynasty.

If he were to compare with the man Gu Zeyu, he would definitely be incomparable.

Gu Zeyu quickly said: "Brother Gu is stupid. He didn't realize what you were thinking. Be sure to pay attention next time. Let's go in first. It's always not good to talk at this door. Someone will pass by in a while."

Cheng Cheng also didn't like the two talking to be watched, so he was obedient, entered the door, and saw the basket in the yard as soon as he entered, his ears were sharp, and seeing the appearance of the basket, he still kept his mouth shut. Ask: "Are the little chickens and ducklings you bought in that basket?"

Gu Zeyu said: "Yes, do you want to see it?"

"Of course, this little thing is really cute."

Cheng Cheng has already walked over quickly. He likes this little fluffy animal. When he opened the cover, he saw a piece of yellow fluff.

Well, there are also ducklings.

Cheng Cheng likes it all. He first touched the little chicken's head with his hand, and then stroked the wings down. They were soft and comfortable. He touched them several times before reluctantly letting go. Because he knows that frequent touching is not good for the little boy's body, and it may cause rejection.

He looked up at Gu Zeyu, and asked earnestly: "Brother Gu, can I come and play with the little ones in the future? Don't worry, I will take care of them before they grow up. I can catch some bugs for them." , they must like to eat."

Gu Zeyu laughed, it turned out that Brother Cheng made such a small request, how could he refuse, he just agreed.

He also said: "Brother Cheng, you can come whenever you want. You are always welcome here, and the little chicks are willing to be taken care of by you. When they grow up and can lay eggs, I will give them to you too." Lay eggs and eat."

"I still need your help now, come with me." Then he led Cheng Cheng into the backyard, pointed to the very rough chicken coop he built and said: "Look at this chicken coop, they live in OK?"

Cheng Cheng was surprised. Brother Gu actually built a chicken coop to look like a small house. Although it was rough, it looked decent. Brother Gu really had ideas and was very capable.

So he also praised the chicken coop, but he finally rejected it.

"This chicken coop is well built, and it can be used after drying and cooling, but the chickens and ducks can only be put in when they grow up. The current chickens and ducks are too small. It is easy to die young. My idea is to keep these chickens and ducks in the house for about ten days. Their fluff grows more and they can keep out the cold. Then remove them and put them in the covered chicken. Sherry."

"Then, you also have to remember that it is best to feed some rice porridge at the beginning of feeding. This kind of food is easy to feed, and you can feed some grain later, but most of the farmers still feed some grass and insects."

Gu Zeyu listened carefully to Brother Cheng's words. He felt that what Brother Cheng said was quite reasonable, so he decided to do as he said, but he had never done this before looking for bugs, so he might have to feed more food.

Brother Cheng saw that he didn't understand much, and wondered if he hadn't caught bugs for the chickens raised at home before?

So I said in detail, "Chickens don't need to eat too good food, wheat bran and corn are enough, and vegetables are also eaten. If you let them go, they will find food by themselves, and they can live in free-range. Very well."

Then I talked about the feeding habits of some chickens, what they like to eat, what they do, and when they grow up, they start to lay eggs.

The same is true for ducks. It is an omnivorous animal and can eat grains. It likes to eat small fish and shrimp very much.
