C369 Duck Rearing
C369 Duck Rearing
Bai Xiaobei who was lying on the bed sleeping lazily heard a bunch of chattering voices. Bai Xiaobei was overjoyed and immediately put on his clothes and rushed out.
Mom was paying the bill, and the owner of the house who sent the little duckling away was extremely happy. More than two thousand little yellow ducklings were happily running around the field.
Bai Xiaobei had already blocked off the ducklings' lair long ago, and these yellow little ducklings looked like they were a week old, their vitality had become stronger, each and every one of them started to peck at the earthworms in the ground, but the slightly larger Soil-turning Earthworm s were unable to bite them, causing them to be unable to eat for a long time.
"Aiyo, what a great place! There are so many earthworms here, it's a good place to feed the ducks!"
After counting the money, the boss complimented with a smile. This was already the last batch of ducks in the market, it was not a good time to sell them all at once. He was naturally happy.
Mom looked at all the energetic ducks and said in satisfaction: "Boss, if you raise them well, I'll reserve five thousand next year. At that time the market price will be five hundred."
Mom and Dad's favorite thing was to feed some chickens and ducks. They used to like to raise dogs too, but after Li Heizi stole the dogs from the village and caused their dogs to die, they stopped feeding for many years.
Hearing that, the boss was immediately overjoyed. "It must be easy to raise. Let me introduce you. Ducks are easier to raise than other pets. Ducks like to eat small fish, fresh, insect, and grains." "Ducks usually eat everything. Even when they are big, they eat dirt and sand. That's because it helps with digestion."
To raise ducklings, prepare a quiet corner. Do not disturb often. It is easy to be frightened. Soak some rice in water. After two weeks of raising them, they would dig out earthworms for them to eat. Afterwards, they could take them out for a walk. When digging earthworms, they would drag them out of the mud by themselves. If it wants to take a bath, it will wash itself. If you force it to do so, the duckling's resistance is very low, so it is very easy to die after getting infected.
The ducklings are not physically strong, so it's best not to slip away. Although the ducklings will run with you, when you listen carefully to their cries, you'll know that they're in a state of panic. If you're constantly in this state of mind, and running takes a lot of energy, the ducklings are prone to get sick and die, so don't slip away for the little ducklings' health, because they treat you like a mother and don't let them panic.
When they grow up, they can still go to the river. In order for a duckling to grow up, a duckling should eat duckling fodder for every meal. After two weeks, they can mix the rice with the fodder and feed it with a small amount of chopped vegetables every day. Don't be afraid that the duckling will die from eating too much, even if the food reaches her neck, it will still be fine.
The duckling is only fed rice, malnourished, not growing, hair not growing well, not good-looking, easy to get sick to death. Of course, a big duck can be fed at will, and leftovers can be made.
The warmth of the duck is very important. Don't let it catch cold. Eat the best is smaller granules, easy to digest, corn flour is a good choice, or can be fed porridge or anything else can be, more sun, can not drink too much water or eat too much food with water it is not too early to go into the water, for small reasons, so it will be very easy to catch cold!
After introducing them for a long time, Bai Xiaobei started to sweat profusely. Previously, he had raised a group at his house, so they would follow him every single day. When he had nothing to do, he would bring a group of little ducks to every place.
He had actually dug earthworms before. As soon as he shoveled down, a few ducklings would rush up to him. Whether he had earthworms or not, he would sweep them first. If there were earthworms, he would just drag them out and eat them.
It was a pity that their living conditions were poor in the past. When these cute little fellows grew up, they would sell them for money.
Bai Xiaobei reached out and picked up a little duck. The little duck struggled innocently, not moving at all as it looked at Bai Xiaobei with its innocent eyes.
The yellow fluffy duckling was very pretty, and holding it felt very comfortable. He had gone to school, and if he came back, there would probably be another unlucky little duckling that he had to stop.
The boss also sent down a few dozen bags of feed, all of which were sent down, enough for these kids to eat for half a month. When they grow up, they would be able to exchange for bigger feed to eat.
Here, the spiritual energy was plentiful, and what was eating was Soil-turning Earthworm s. This type of earthworm that absorbed spiritual energy, after the little duckling ate it, would form a robust physique.
Bai Xiaobei used the Great Earth Pulse Arts to feel around, extending all the way to the dug up lakeside. There were a lot of Soil-turning Earthworm down there, and these little guys probably wouldn't be able to eat much now.
These Soil-turning Earthworm could reproduce as long as they had spirit energy, which was a hundred times stronger than normal earthworms! However, the moment they left the Spirit Energy, they would die quickly, otherwise, these things would not be extinct in the mortal world.
The voice of this yellow-furred little fellow was very tender when it cried out. It was very pleasant to listen to, and it was much better than a little chicken. This little thing was smarter than a little chicken, making people like it when they saw it.
Bai Yu had come, and went with Mom to feed the ducklings. After all, it was unrealistic for them to search for food on their own, and they were too young, they could only randomly eat and need to be fed.
"Dad, how many fish seedlings have you spilled in the lake?"
In this period of time, Bai Yu had brought many small fish and scattered them all over the lake, there were grass fish, crucian carp, carp, Carp, black fish and even some aquatic grass seeds.
Bai Xiaobei looked at the group of little ducks fighting over food and asked curiously. If there were too little, these guys would probably not even have enough to eat in the future.
As Bai Yu fed the little duckling, he replied, "There's a lot of them, tens of thousands of dollars in fish shoots. If not for your words, I wouldn't even be willing to waste so much money!"
According to Bai Yu's calculations, if he sprinkled some 2000 yuan in the lake, more or less would be able to live. After all, the fish would reproduce on their own, after a few years, the number of fishes inside would not only become larger, but also increase.
Bai Xiaobei laughed, and did not say a word. Bai Yu was still not willing to spend money recklessly, although he was very rich now, he should not spend money carelessly.
"These ducklings are really spirited, they weren't this spirited before!"
Mom grabbed one as the little duckling struggled as hard as he could. Its head was still looking down at the food, trying its best to eat it.
There were more than 2300 of them. Originally, he wanted to get 3000 of them, but he did not have that many, a group of waddling ducks. Even Mom's father did not want to leave, and continued to discuss with them, causing Bai Xiaobei, who wanted to secretly use the little Spirit Rain, to not even have the chance to strengthen the ducklings.
Afraid that the little ducklings would go into the lake, Bai Xiaobei went to block the road. Because they were still too young, he would need at least half a month before he could bring them down the river. By then, the fish seedlings in the lake would also be a little bigger and faster, growing up together with the little ducks and wouldn't be completely eaten.
Third Grandpa did not know where he heard the sound of wind and came over carrying a pipe. Right now, his Cyan Rock Village was already a well-known village and he was no longer wearing shabby clothes, but had changed into a new set of clothes. He was tidying up his hair everyday and after all, he represented Cyan Rock Village and did not allow others to look down on him.
The pipe was given to them by Bai Xiaobei, who bought a few of them and gave them to the smoking seniors, because all of them smoked.
But Old Village Head had always been considering how to continue and improve the village. When he heard that Bai Xiaobei had reared ducks again in the morning, he immediately came over to take a look and see if there were any opportunities to drive the village to earn money.
"Third Grandpa, why are you here?"
Bai Xiaobei was still thinking about why the pigeons he bought did not arrive yet, but upon seeing Third Grandpa, he immediately welcomed him with a smile.
The Third Grandpa laughed: "Xiaobei, I heard that you got a few thousand ducklings, so I came to take a look. After all, the village needs to develop, and just based on the profits from one of your hotels, we can't keep this up forever. We also need to see if there are any other ways."
Bai Xiaobei's hotel could be said to be able to support a whole village. The young and beautiful Little Girl would be serving as a waitress for more than ten thousand yuan every month.
In addition, customers coming and going would sell a few hundred dishes on the roadside, and a snack or something like that would earn more than a thousand yuan. As the number of guests in the Mo Bei Hotel increased, the families would earn quite a bit of money.
But Old Village Head wanted the village to become better and better. When he heard that Bai Xiaobei had gotten a few thousand ducks, he couldn't help but run over.
Bai Xiaobei was immediately embarrassed. Did he have to tell Third Grandpa that he was raising them to eat earthworms? If that was the case, the Third Grandpa would probably think that he had refused and would be embarrassed to look for him in the future.
Thinking about it, Bai Xiaobei pondered for a moment, then laughed: "Third Grandpa, I have a chef who specializes in roast duck, and has a secret recipe for it. Third Grandpa, you can let everyone raise ducks, and at that time, the hotel will accept them.
He had indeed thought of a delicious dish. Previously, he had eaten something similar to the Peking Duck. However, in the end, he had smeared it with a type of oil mixed with honey. It was extremely delicious and fragrant.
Third Grandpa's eyes immediately lit up: This is good, this is good, but Xiaobei, you have raised so many, you won't hold up your own ducks will you?
Obviously, the Third Grandpa was worried that Bai Xiaobei's duck would not be used up. After all, although the restaurant was big, how much energy would be used in a day?
"No, no!" Bai Xiaobei laughed: "Third Grandpa, in truth, I do not plan to kill all of these, I plan to feed them myself. We can talk about it later, but you know that I have to find something for her to do as my mother says."
Bai Xiaobei could not bear to kill these adorable little fellows. At the very least, he would have to make them old, and kill them when he was old.
"That's good, that's good!" The Third Grandpa shook his smoke pot and laughed: "Xiaobei, take me back and we'll talk about it with everyone. We won't let them feed us too much for now, we just need to raise a few, and we'll see how the results are!"
