Chapter 93: Raising Chickens Is Not Easy (20 More Chapters, Please Subscribe)
Back at the door of his house, Du Fei took out the empty pocket hanging on the handlebar, and suddenly an old hen appeared in it.
Carrying the bag, he came to Xu Damao's house and banged on the door.
Lou Xiao'e's voice came from inside, "Here we come~"
"Hey? Xiao Du~ What are you..." Lou Xiao'e opened the door and saw Du Fei carrying a chicken, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Du Fei said generously, "Qin Huairu asked me to bring the chicken over."
Lou Xiao'e said "Oh".
Qin Huairu came last night, spoke very sincerely, and apologized to them.
But Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that it was Du Fei who brought the chicken over. She couldn't help but remind her, "You are serious. You dare to help with anything and you are not afraid of misunderstanding?"
"It's okay if no one sees it." Du Fei replied with a smile, "Besides, my father didn't have time to help Sister Qin run back and forth. I owe you a favor~"
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her heart moved again.
It is said that her family used to be just acquaintances with Du Fei, but for some reason they suddenly became brothers with Xu Damao.
Could it be because at that time, Xu Damao and I helped out a little?
Lou Xiao'e thought as she took the old hen and stuffed it into the chicken coop.
"Okay, Sister Lou, I'll go back first." Du Fei said and was about to leave.
But she was stopped by Lou Xiao'e, "Hey, there's a movie in the factory tonight. It's really lively. Why don't you go watch it?"
This winter, it can get as cold as minus five or six degrees.
In the middle of the night, Du Fei sat in the open air for more than an hour. He didn't want to feel guilty, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I have to write materials at night. The boss will be in a hurry tomorrow."
When she heard that she had something serious to do, Lou Xiao'e couldn't do anything to persuade her. She could only prepare the food by herself, put on her cotton-padded hands to cook the rice, and went to the factory.
Du Fei returned home, took out the lunch box he brought from the canteen, and placed it in front of the fireplace to warm.
Throw it into the portable space again
The two old hens were released.
The chicken given to Lou Xiaoe just now had not been transformed by white light, but the two chickens Du Fei left had a trace of white light seeping into them.
When these two old hens were released, they were obviously more handsome than before.
However, Du Fei only spent a trace of white light, which was less than one-thousandth of what he had used to transform Xiaowu, so the changes in the two chickens were extremely limited.
Instead, Xiao Wu, who was dozing in front of the fireplace, suddenly became energetic. He tilted his head and looked at them, seeming to be very interested.
Du Fei glared at it and threatened, "I will keep these two old hens to lay eggs in the future. If you dare to bite them to death, be careful with your skin!"
Xiaowu raised his head and looked at Du Fei, with his tail raised high and a cocky look, he turned around and walked to the door of the room.
Above the door, there is a small platform facing a round hole with a curtain.
This is Xiaowu's exclusive exit.
Xiaowu walked over, lifted up more than two meters high, landed on a small platform that was small enough to fit on, then arched his buttocks, and got out.
Next, Du Fei looked at the two chickens and felt a little confused.
He had seen Xu Damao's family raising chickens before, and he wanted to imitate him.
But when I bought the old hens, I was confused as to how to raise them.
If nothing else, at least there must be a chicken coop! You still have to put in the energy to feed, water, and serve.
Du Fei had a headache and found that raising cats and dogs was completely different from raising chickens.
Moreover, the weather outside in winter is too cold. Now it is minus seven to eight degrees at night. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the temperature in the capital is the lowest and can even reach minus twenty degrees.
At this temperature, if you keep chickens outside, even if they don’t freeze
It's impossible to lay eggs even if you die.
Not to mention the smell of chicken manure inside the breeding house.
Du Fei thought for a while, but he had no idea. If the calculation didn't work, he asked Lei Laoliu to build the chicken coop first, and then take his time with the rest.
But let the heirs of Shi Shilei build a chicken coop. I wonder if the coffin board of their ancestors can still hold it!
Having made up his mind, Du Fei kept doing nothing and took the two chickens back into the space.
I washed my hands and started eating while listening to the radio.
After eating, I lingered for a while.
It’s almost six o’clock, so I get on my bike and go out.
Because there was a movie playing in the steel rolling mill, most people went to join in the fun, and the yard was deserted.
After leaving the gate of the courtyard, Du Fei stepped on the pedals, pushed his legs on the ground, slid forward, turned over and got on the saddle, and rode to Lei Laoliu's house in about ten minutes.
In the yard of Lei Laoliu's house, there were not many employees in the steel rolling mill, but it was the same as usual.
Du Fei pushed his bicycle in and saw the lights on in his house. He felt relieved and went up to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" A woman's voice answered the door.
Du Fei said, "That eldest sister, it's me, Xiao Du."
Before Du Fei finished speaking, he heard footsteps speeding up in the room, and Xiao Cui opened the door with a smile on his face, "Leader Du, please come in quickly!"
The previous time I worked at Du Fei's house, it lasted more than ten days. Not counting anything else, Lei Laoliu got fifty in wages alone.
There is also a commission of more than ten yuan for the three gold bricks sold. If you add one more gold brick, you will earn more than sixty yuan.
How could Xiaocui be unhappy when Du Fei came to her door!
At this time, Lei Laoliu also came out, but he was much more respectful.
The three of them exchanged a few words, and Du Fei explained his intention.
r> Lei Laoliu frowned and said, "Leader Du, please... let me think about it, let me think about it~"
Lei Laoliu also felt helpless. Generations of his Lei family had covered many palaces and mausoleums, but building a chicken coop for others was like a big girl's first move in a sedan chair.
It would be easy to just build a chicken coop, but this man has a lot to ask for.
The chicken coop must be able to heat and keep warm to ensure that the old hens can lay eggs normally, which is a bit too much to ask.
After waiting for a while, Du Fei saw that Lei Laoliu hadn't said anything, so he asked, "Lao Lei, are you in a dilemma? If it doesn't work, then..."
Du Fei actually wanted to say that if it doesn't work, forget it, but Lei Laoliu thought he was going to say that if it doesn't work, then find someone else.
That won't work!
Once it gets out, Lei Laoliu, a dignified man, can't even build a chicken coop, so how can he survive in the future!
Lei Laoliu rolled his eyes, and before Du Fei finished speaking, he hurriedly took over the conversation, "Leader Du, I dare not guarantee your work. I have never raised chickens, but there is one person who can definitely do it!"
Who did Du Fei ask? He didn't have to be Lei Laoliu, as long as he could solve the problem.
Lei Laoliu said, "Wei Duzi! His family raised a lot of chickens in the 1950s, but later there was a natural disaster and they couldn't afford to feed them, so they sold them all."
Du Fei heard that, since that's the case, then hurry up!
The two of them went out and rode their bicycles to Wei Duzi's house.
Wei Duzi's family lived outside the south city, outside Yongdingmen.
This distance was not short, more than ten kilometers!
The two of them rode their bicycles hard, passed Beijing South Station, and stopped in front of a courtyard.
This courtyard was different from the Siheyuan in the city. It was not so exquisite, and the house was lower. It was just an ordinary farmhouse. The advantage was that it had a separate door and a spacious courtyard.
Du Fei understood, no wonder he could raise chickens a few years ago.
