Chapter 728 Paving the Way for the Future
"Quack, quack, quack ha, quack ha..."
Li Yi, who had just had lunch, looked at a group of big parrots shouting at him in a daze.
"Brother Yi, this is a parrot." Li Chengqi stood nearby and watched together.
"Brother, I know. These are called large scarlet-breasted parrots. They are about one foot tall. They are all adults. It is difficult to teach them how to speak. Why do they appear here?"
Li Yi looked at the big parrots that kept chirping and asked the same doubts as Tong Muruzheng.
The big scarlet-breasted parrot is too cold to survive. Where did it come from?
"It's still a bit warm when it's not snowing. When it snows suddenly, it stands to reason that they will be frozen to death. It just happened that the people in Tongjia Village left the door of the hut open."
Li Chengqi analyzed how the big parrot came to be. The people from Zuixianju had already said it.
Li Yi grabbed a handful of pine nuts and put them in the cage.
Twelve cages were made, and the male and female parrots could be distinguished by looking at the color of their beaks.
There are exactly eighteen males and eight females, twelve cages corresponding to the large cages, and the parrots choose by themselves.
One pair, then seven pairs in a cage, and the other female gets into a cage by herself.
The male one just wanted to enter someone else's cage, but was kicked out by the big parrot inside.
It circled around and finally decided to go into the cage of the lone female, but the female chased it too.
So sixteen large parrots occupied nine cages, leaving three cages empty.
"Alas!" Li Yi sighed. He estimated that at least two parrots died on the road.
Then there was a male and a female. The male was not very sad, maybe the female died early.
The other female was sad, so she stayed in the cage by herself.
After feeding the pine nuts, the big parrots began to eat them.
Li Yi's pine nuts had no openings and needed to be picked up with pliers. The big parrots didn't care and helped eat them with their beaks and claws.
If you can find a position with your mouth and bite it open, just bite it. If you can't find the position, stretch out a paw to grab the pine nut and adjust the position.
Li Yi thought for a while and adjusted the positions of the cages of the two separate large scarlet-breasted parrots.
The places where the food boxes and sinks are placed in the two cages are facing each other, so that the two large parrots will be closer to each other when eating.
"It's not good to keep it in a cage. It needs to be a big cage, and then it should be as small as the nest. The surroundings should be closed and there should be a hole for entry and exit."
Li Yi has never raised a Scarlet-breasted Parrot, nor has he raised any other parrots.
But he can check it and follow the instructions after finding the information.
Making a box and a large cage is a small job. If you throw it into the carpentry workshop, it will take less than half an hour to make a cage as big as two houses.
There are undulating horizontal bars inside, as well as vertical grooves and protrusions that resemble rock climbing.
The Scarlet-breasted Parrot likes to use its claws and beak to climb things. When it flies, it is said to be at a low altitude and slow speed.
Li Yi looked at it: "We still have to make small cages, one for each nest, and the small cage is connected to the big cage.
There should also be a hole in the small cage so that the parrots can easily enter the large cage. They belong to a group. "
Before dinner, the small cage was also made, the nest was put in, and the food trough and sink were placed in the small cage.
There is a floor heater underneath the big cage, and the temperature in the cage is kept at about fifteen or six degrees.
"Okay, let's do this first. Feed us delicious food, walnut kernels, rice, millet, wheat, greenhouse cherries, pine nuts, pears, and chestnuts."
Li Yi watched the big parrot in the cage move around and adapt to its new home, and went to the canteen to eat.
As Li Chengqi walked, he kept turning his head to look at the parrots and asked, "Can they let out the good food?"
“If you don’t train them manually, you need a larger venue, a cage outside, or a fishing net.
Then let them go out to fly. Because it is cold outside, they will fly back after a while.
After they get used to it, release a female or male alone and let them fly freely in the wild.
It's cold and the other half is at home, so those who fly out alone will come back. The more times they fly, the more they will be released. "
Li Yi doesn't care about the cost of large-scale cages. The ones now are too big to teach people to talk, and there will be smaller ones in the future.
Li Chengqi understood: "The winter is over, and by spring, they have become accustomed to having a home. The main thing is that the food at home is delicious, so you can open the cage and let them fly freely."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if they fly away. The big ones fly away and the small ones stay. They will breed by next spring.
When it's cold outside and warm inside the nest, they lay eggs, and then they hatch, and when the chicks come out, they can't leave even if they want to. "
Li Yi had already planned it. The big ones had the ability to survive in the wild, so they flew away.
Xiao Xiao has been in one place since he was a child. If he wants to move, he must ensure that the food in other places is more suitable.
Cultivate batch after batch, there will always be some left.
Even if you fly away for a long time, you may remember another place where you can eat pine nuts and come back again.
Li Chengqi said longingly: "In the future, a large group of beautiful parrots will fly around in the sky, looking beautiful."
"Pigeons are the easiest to raise. If you put them outside, everyone can feed them with bread crumbs. It looks harmonious."
Li Yi has fed pigeons in many squares, and also fed seagulls in places in Oceania where there are currently no people.
He likes that feeling, but it is more difficult to clean up the poop.
For dinner, the two of us eat dumplings, drink a bunch of white wine, and add two side dishes.
The palace maids and eunuchs ate hot pot with a layer of red oil. After eating, they were reluctant to throw away the red oil and continued to use it.
Li Yi had no choice. Saliva oil is not good. Under the current conditions, farmers would not accept the fact that they would throw away so much oil and seasoning after eating a meal.
After eating the soup from the hot pot, farmers would use it to make noodles, rice noodles, and rice vermicelli, and then eat it all with the soup.
"This winter is much better than last year. I don't know about other places, but the people in Jingzhao Prefecture are buying more things."
Li Chengqi has a clothing alliance and a labor alliance, which is directly reflected in the orders.
In winter, the clothing alliance sells more clothes, and the labor alliance takes orders to do the work.
New furniture, chimney repairs, jewelry making...
Without money, there will naturally be no such large quantity. People rush to add things to themselves and their homes before the New Year.
"The faster the circulation of materials, the richer people will be. Otherwise, many things cannot be sold and rot. People who need them can only buy at high prices, but they can't afford it."
Li Yi said, thinking of his situation at that time.
Before, everyone was poor, and then the country worked hard to build roads, all kinds of repairs, and worked hard to build them.
Then suddenly logistics companies came out, followed by online sales platforms.
You can buy whatever you want. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net has changed the sales model and forced stores to transform.
Some stores have become inventory and sales points for online goods, and some have improved their levels.
It is still needed now, even without the Internet.
Merchants will know what goods to transport in and out.
Li Chengqi didn't know the Internet, but he felt the benefits of road construction.
"This winter, our frozen seafood from Dengzhou will be transported in continuously. I guess some merchants want to learn from us."
"If they want to learn, they still have to organize people to go fishing. The local fishermen have a good life. We are all water soldiers. Only when processing, we use local people."
Li Yi doesn't care about others learning. The road from Dengzhou to Luoyang must be repaired.
