The geese were successfully captured. Next, Meng Zhaohua and Chen Xiuqing illuminated them with flashlights. Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo and Lei Meng guarded the fishing nets, fished out the geese one by one from the net, and handed them to Zhao Yongke.
Zhao Yongke helped to squeeze the geese to prevent them from pecking and flapping people.
Wild geese are powerful at pecking at people, and their wings are not small. When they hit people, they can still be painful.
Lu Lu began to cut off the wing feathers and tail feathers of the geese, and then stuffed them into gauze baskets one by one.
Wild geese are waterfowl with strong flying ability. If they want to raise them artificially, they must either raise them in large cages or set up a sky net to prevent them from flying away.
However, what Lu Lu intends to carry out is a combination of captive breeding and free-range breeding.
The more than [-] acres of water and grass wetland in the wild goose farm can be used as the main breeding ground.In addition to eating aquatic plants, insects, and small fish and shrimps, wild geese can also feed various weeds and crop straws in the field, such as soybean stalks, corn stalks, and peanut seedlings.
There are two thousand acres of fields, and a lot of corn stalks can be collected. There are also a lot of crop stalks that can be collected outside the village. For many people, it is something that is burned by a fire. Turning waste into treasure, let alone food.
In addition, once these wild geese are familiar with feeding, they can be driven out in large groups for stocking. There is no need for supplementary feeding on grasslands, hillsides, rice stubble fields, river dams and tidal flats. In just a few months, it is easy. It can grow to more than three kilograms.
Moreover, when the crops are harvested, there will be a lot of grain scattered in the rice fields and corn fields, which can be well utilized.
Management is not that difficult, but this kind of management needs to cut its feathers and wings in time so that it cannot fly.
The most difficult problem is overwintering.
However, with such a large venue and fire dragons to ensure the temperature, it is a matter of preparing more coal or firewood.
After loading all the wild geese caught by fishing nets into the yarn frame, several people carried them back excitedly, chatting about Zhang Yongbiao's operation of catching wild geese, and they all exclaimed how amazing it was.
Passing by the place where the wolf hunted wild geese, Lu Lu took a flashlight.
Food is plentiful in this season, and it is easier to obtain prey. The wolves are scattered, and many hunt alone.
The wolf I saw at night was just an ordinary wolf, and generally it would not pose any harm. Lu Lu didn't bother to take care of it. He appeared near the fishing team and went back to say hello to Dong Chenggu. Be careful. That's fine.
Stayed overnight in the room vacated by the fishing team. On the second day, the work of catching small geese continued.
In the evening, the seine net in front of the fishing team was already filled with densely packed geese. According to preliminary estimates, the number of [-] or more would be several hundred more, enough to fill a full cart.
More than 40 people were rounded up, and the average share per person was less than [-].
Before the meal, Lu Lu gathered all his people back, divided the geese into gauze frames by size, and then stacked them in the cart one by one, filling a large cart, including those caught last night. It was also fully installed, and the wood was specially cut to heighten the fence before it was completely installed.
After tying the ropes on the car and fixing the yarn frames, Lu Lu called Zhang Shaofeng, Lei Meng and others to explain the next thing: "Hua Zi and I will take turns driving back in the car. The delay on the way back and forth was too long. When I was going to come again, I called three more vehicles from the forest farm or the convoy.
When I came back, there were three cars loaded with wild geese, and another one helped Meng Ge move. I went back to stock up these wild geese, and prepared the gauze frames for the wild geese. In addition, I also took a look at the situation of the farm. It might take a while. In two days, it will be a bit slow to come back. Next, I will leave the matter here to you. "
"Go at ease! The few of us will definitely handle things properly." Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile: "Besides, isn't there still Brother Meng now!"
Lu Lu nodded: "Brother Feng, what I'm most worried about is this. Will the people above make trouble for Brother Meng?"
"Don't worry, I have a good idea about this matter, and I wouldn't dare to give them a hundred more courage!" Zhang Shaofeng said with certainty.
"If that's the case, I'm relieved."
Lu Lu nodded, thought for a while, and then emphasized: "There is also the matter of catching geese. When walking in this swampy wetland, you must be extremely careful, and you must not fall into the mud. It is very dangerous. Brother, you are the most familiar with this place, so you have to give them more advice.
This place has a large area, so don't go to places that feel unsafe. "
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, then looked at Chen Xiuqing again: "The eggs over here, don't fool around, let's only catch the little geese this time, don't harm other things together, some waterfowl are very precious , don’t waste it. If you’re really curious, just ask the person who helped you, and you’ll be fine.”
"Understood Brother Lu!" Chen Xiuqing promised: "I won't mess around again!"
"Okay, everyone, go to bed early, pay attention, keep your head clear at all times, and drink in moderation!"
Lu Lv gave another warning, then led Yuan Bao and the others to the place reserved for them in the car, closed the car door, and pulled the tarpaulin.
There were so many young geese crowded together, afraid of unnecessary losses caused by the high temperature at night, the car was covered with a tarpaulin, and Lu Lu even cut a few vents with a knife.
He went back to the small bungalow where he lived, and put the two cranes that broke out of their shells last night and searched for food in small blisters today into a small cage, and found a cloth bag for the other two unhatched eggs. , some cotton was wadding inside, and I put it in my bosom to wear next to my body. Then I called Meng Zhaohua, and drove on the road overnight.
It is more than 500 kilometers from Yanwo Island to Xiushantun.
The two took turns driving, not daring to stop except for eating, refueling, and adding water.
For such a long time, the geese in the gauze frame are all hungry and lack of water. The time is too long and they can't stand it.
The two of them drove as fast as possible, but they didn't stop and go when they came here.
It's just that no matter how fast the car is, it can only reach thirty or forty yards, and it will be even slower when it encounters difficult roads. With the hard work of the two of them, the car finally drove the car to the ringing speed in the afternoon of the second day. In Meizigou in Shuixi Forest Farm, Lu Lu didn't even stop at the door of his own house.
The first thing to do is to let Zhou Cuifen, Wang Dalong and others put down what they are doing, and pick up baskets of wild geese to the water meadow in Meizigou and stock them there.
The cover of the gauze frame was opened, and the little geese who had been on the car for a long time stumbled towards the grass, squawking, and looked curiously at the water meadow in the mountains.
After the group of adult geese were put in, they fluttered their wings one by one and wanted to fly. However, no matter how hard the featherless wings tried, they could not provide enough power to make them fly.
On the contrary, there was a call, which made the geese who had entered the water plant mat become excited and ran towards the water plant mat as if they had found their way.
This piece of water meadow, which has always been lonely since it was surrounded, seems to have a soul all of a sudden, becoming lively and full of vitality.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, Brother Zhou, I will leave it to you to take care of this place from now on!"
Lu Lu is going to hand over this matter to Zhou Cuifen and Zhou Fangjing's family: "From now on, what you have to do every day is to release the wild geese from the breeding ground in the morning and drive them back at night. Brother Feng and the others are still on Bird's Nest Island They are catching the little geese over there, and in two days we will have to pull two carts back, and there will be more than [-] wild geese at that time, so it is all up to you."
There are a lot of geese to be raised, and one or two people can't control them.Moreover, Lu Lu still has to consider stocking them. For such a large number, more people are needed.
"More than ten thousand..."
Zhou Cuifen looked at the little geese flopping around in the meadow, and felt a little dizzy: "This... how can I catch up!"
"I'll get some corn at home, grind it into flour at the mill and feed it to you. By then, you'll just get used to it! From now on, it's as simple as raising ducks or geese! By the way... In the evening, all the big guys came to help, otherwise, the four of them alone would not be able to surround the farm."
Lu Lu also explained to everyone by the way.
In the yard of the breeding ground, there are several rows of big trees that have been turned into troughs for feeding. As long as they find a place to eat and get used to feeding, they are no longer afraid of people.
This is why Lu Lu considered baby geese instead of big geese, as they are easier to raise when they are young.
When they are familiar with people, they will flock to them if they are called by the feeder.
When the time comes, it will become easier to manage, but it will take an adaptation process at the beginning.
Hearing what Lu Lu said, Zhou Cuifen and Zhou Fangjing both heaved a sigh of relief.
"It will definitely be done well!"
"rest assured!"
As for the big snot, Lu Lu doesn't need to worry about it, and now he is devoting all his energy to the farm, and with Zhou Cuifen at the helm, Lu Lu has nothing to worry about.
Not to mention Zhou Fangjing, he is not the kind of person who can't do things.
Looking at these little geese, the future will be money.
If they were only thinking about their monthly salary before, they are now looking forward to the extra dividends that will be paid at the end of the year.
In the future, Lu Lu will have to find time to teach the specific management methods, and this will have to wait for Lu Lu to spare time.
After the geese were stocked, Lu Lu then went to the deer farm, bee farm and mud ditch to check the situation briefly.
The water source is in the deer farm, and a small amount of corn is fed every evening. Now, those sika deer have already developed the habit of going to the mountain to forage in the morning. Get back in the habit.
In the forest frog farm, those forest frogs had already completed their metamorphosis. After leaving some branches and climbing objects on the edges of the hatching ponds, they followed into the mountains.
Lu Lu looked on the hillside, and there were indeed many small wood frogs gathered beside the mounds of humus used to attract mosquitoes, hiding under the damp humus leaves to shade the sun. Be careful, otherwise, if you step down, one may be trampled to death.
After the forest frogs went up the mountain, the water in the hatching ponds had been emptied as required to let them bask in the sun, which was supposed to be sterilized.
For the time being, Pu Guiying is in charge of the affairs in the bee farm.
Xiao Nizi is quite courageous, and after having the anti-bee gauze, she also became more courageous.
Lu Lu went to ask, what Pu Guiying often does these days is to greet those mine bees with a small beat.
She has also learned a lot of basic knowledge of management and protection from Chen Xiuyu. Although she is lacking, she has done well, and she can barely cope with it, but she needs to teach it further.
The most gratifying thing is that at this time, the linden tree is in flowering period, and the capping nectar is already full. Pu Guiying will not add honeycomb, and many superfluous spleens have been built in the beehive.
After returning, harvesting honey and exterminating those landmine bees must be put on the agenda quickly. Taking advantage of the flowering period, after this harvest, honey can be harvested again.
After inspecting the farm, everything went well, and Lu Lu felt a little relieved. He had been worried that he would cause so many things at once, and that a group of people would not be able to handle them.
As for the field, Lu Lu didn't go to see it, he asked Wang Dalong, he has already led people to weed and fertilize, the corn is growing well, if there is no weather disaster this year, it will be a bumper harvest.
Later, Lu Lu and Meng Zhaohua returned to Xiushantun, went to Zuo Songling's house, and told Zuo Songling about the yarn frame, asking him to find Bai Gouleng and others to help.
These gauze frames are not only used to pull the geese now, but also to be used when sending the wild geese out for sale in the future, so there is no problem in making more.
After all the work was done, it was almost evening, and Lu Lu could finally go home.
There are also two little cranes that need to be dealt with quickly. In addition, the two eggs, which are close to the body to keep warm, will be affected and cannot hatch.
What he misses the most is Chen Xiuyu and her child Lu Zhengyang during confinement.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help speeding up his pace a lot, he just felt like he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and he missed him inexplicably.
