Chapter 507 Prosperity
The five people carried the meat of the two bears back and forth three times, and finally finished moving them.
Back at the place where the potatoes were baked, Chen Xiuqing looked at the oil paper bag still hanging on the fire, and was a little dazed: "Brother Lu, you use this thing to boil water... This oil paper bag shrinks into a ball when it sees the fire, How can this still boil water?"
In his opinion, what he saw was too incredible.
Not only Chen Xiuqing, but even Zhang Shaofeng, Meng Zhaohua and Zhao Yongke looked over in confusion.
"It's so strange, it's different if you put water in it, if you don't believe me, try it yourself!"
Lu Lu didn't bother to tell him the hot things.Instead of explaining for a long time, it is better to let them try to see for themselves. If they don't understand the specific reason, they just need to know what is going on.
Chen Xiuqing took a match in disbelief, rubbed one, and put it under the oil paper bag to burn. As a result, he saw only a small black circle on the bottom of the oil paper bag smoked by the match, and the oil paper bag was not burned through. He was surprised for a while. speechless.
"Let's reply this time... Don't mess with it, hurry up and work!" Lu Lu urged.
Chen Xiuqing resentfully put the match back into her pocket, looked around the fire, and swallowed: "My roasted forest frog..."
"I know I'm thinking about eating, and I can't bake it when I get home!"
Lu Lu smiled and reached out to rub his head.
"Save some of your sauce!" Chen Xiuqing was still thinking about Lu Lu's sauce.
He really couldn't figure it out, he just felt that the condiments prepared by Lu Lu tasted surprisingly good.
"No problem!" Lu Lu nodded and agreed to the matter.
Next, the five carried buckets and continued to search in the river. It was not until late in the evening that they each carried frog eggs and captured forest frogs and returned to the main road, letting Meng Zhaohua drive them to Lannigou.
According to the color of the frog eggs, Lu Lu placed the eggs in the bucket in different hatching pools. When the work was completed, it was completely dark.
As for the bear meat, Lu Lu only kept some leg meat and feed the dogs, and the rest were divided among the people who worked on the farm.
In the next four days, Liang Kangbo led people along the area mentioned by Lu Lv, and began to drive piles around the mud ditch to build an escape fence for forest frogs.
Considering that it would take a long time, Lu Lu simply asked Meng Zhaohua to go to the district to pull a lot of asbestos tiles back.
Using gauze, sacks and other things to protect it will not last long at all. If you use wooden boards to surround a large area, it will be too labor-intensive and time-consuming. He simply chose to use it for the roof to shelter from wind and rain these days Very good material asbestos tile.
As for whether it causes cancer or not, I can't control so much now, let's talk about it first.
Wait until a few years later, when protective materials such as steel wire mesh become more common and easier to obtain, then they will be replaced.
If things go well, the area of the farm will be expanded, and it will happen to be done together at that time.
Put wooden piles on the ground, cut the asbestos tiles into two sections, bury them in the soil about ten centimeters, punch holes in them with hammers and nails, tie them to the wooden piles with iron wires, and build them one by one. , I don’t know how much easier it is to build a wooden fence.
The key is the quality of asbestos tiles these days, which is really good, and it will be fine for 30 to [-] years.
In the next few days, Meng Zhaohua was busy pulling the asbestos tiles, while Liang Kangbo organized manpower to carry the asbestos tiles up the mountain to supply several men with bindings on the mountain.
At the end of a day, you can make a large section.
The enclosure of hundreds of hectares sounds huge, but according to their progress, it can be completed early before planting.
Lu Lu, Zhang Shaofeng and the others searched for forest frog eggs in different places every day, and asked Meng Zhaohua to send them into the mountain in the morning and come to welcome them in the evening.
In just four or five days, densely packed frog eggs were placed in the wooden gauze nets placed in the hatching pond of Lannigou.
Lu Lu estimated that the density was almost there, so he stopped the matter, and several people also participated in the construction of the escape fence.
Almost every day, some birds crash into the bird-catching nets arranged above the hatching ponds, which naturally become a delicacy burned in the fire.
In the future protection process, there will be more troublesome things, such as yellow skins, foxes, mice, snakes, etc., and some birds need to be guarded against. At that time, various traps will have to be set up for protection. There are quite a lot of things. Of course, the necessary personnel patrol is also indispensable.
Now that the matter has been done, it has to be taken care of. He doesn't want to bring in so many forest frog eggs in three years, and in the end he can't get a few forest frogs, so it's meaningless.
Fast forward to the end of April.
During this period of time, it snowed once, but it was not too big. The first day, the next day, it had completely melted, and there were two light rains, so there was no delay.
Chen Xiuqing's complete replica of Lu Lulu's woodcarved house was completed in the past month with sufficient manpower.
After the house was built, the furniture that had been in Zuo Songling's house was moved into the house.
On the day of helping to move, Lu Lu also stopped by Zuo Songling's house to have a look. Dozens of those thick beehives have been made, and they are placed in the yard to let the wind and rain drench, so as to eliminate the special smell in the wood and facilitate the beehives. Group stay.
Seeing the temperature getting higher and higher, Lu Lu knew that it was time to cultivate.
He asked Zhang Shaofeng and Meng Zhaohua to drive out the farm machinery, and drove to the district by himself, and bought seeds and fertilizer with the list he got from Nie Jingguo.
It took only six days for a group of people to plant [-] mu of land with corn, and it took another day to plant the crops in the fields where the agricultural machinery could reach the several families in the village who participated in the farm construction. Also planted.
As for those that cannot be reached by agricultural machinery, they can only cultivate by themselves with horses and oxen.
After being busy for this period of time, he took a short rest for four days, which was also time for them to cultivate. After the work was over, Wang Dalong began to lead people to continue the construction of the deer farm deer shed and the fence, and also divided some people to start working on the farm. Piles were driven in the wetlands to build fences for wild geese.
The area to be enclosed by the fence is larger, and it will take at least two months to build the deer farm, even if all the people get started.
On the contrary, it is much faster to fence the [-]-acre wild goose farm.
It was during this time that Lulu's Caodianzi welcomed the birth of the first small sika deer.
On the next day, Lu Lu invited Zhao Yongke to help. When feeding the night before, he locked up the sika deer that was used to wandering in the meadow during the day and returned to the meadow to eat corn in the evening. The big sika deer had their antlers cut off, and three of the young sika deer caught last year were also forcibly held down and their newborn velvet antlers were cut off.
After these antlers are cut off, it does not affect the growth of the sika deer, but it can prevent the stags from fighting together and hurting each other.
After finishing the work, Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Lu Lu went to see the bee colony.
Under his continuous feeding with pollen, the dozens of bees developed rapidly.The weakest group has already reached the level of eight spleens. Seeing that the male peak nest has begun to be built on the honeycomb, Lu Lu knows that he can consider raising a king and prepares for artificial bee separation.
On the same day, Lu Lu went to the nearby forest to find a small piece of fire glazed branch, peeled, peeled, and polished it into a small piece of wood slightly thicker than chopsticks with a rounded tip. Liang Kuang and insect transfer needles are required.
Find some of the beeswax that was melted before, burn charcoal in the house, add an iron pan to boil water, put the beeswax in a bowl and put it in the water to melt.
Lu Lu peeled some wood veneers, and prepared a bowl of cold water and some honey.
Chen Xiuyu kept walking around with Lu Lu with her stomach full. When she heard Lu Lu said that she wanted to breed black bee queens, she was very curious and watched Lu Lu make various preparations.
In her opinion, this is undoubtedly a very miraculous thing.
It is said that the queen bee is produced by herself, when can artificial breeding be carried out!
Lu Lu has been teaching her about beekeeping before, and she will inevitably need her to manage the bee farm in the future.
Although she felt that it was unbelievable to raise a king for the black bee, she knew that since Lu Lu did this, he must have his reasons.
She didn't say much about this kind of thing, but just watched it seriously.
Of course, she didn't need to ask, Lu Lu was also teaching seriously, explaining the operation and the reason why she did it while doing it.
After everything was ready, Lu Lu found a wooden bench, picked up a small wooden stick, dipped it in a bowl of cold water, and then dipped it into the bowl of melted beeswax to a depth of about seven or eight millimeters. After it cools down a bit, dip it again to increase the thickness, take it out to cool, and use a little force to form a smooth small wax bowl.
He repeated over and over again. In one morning, he made more than a hundred wax bowls, and then used beeswax to glue these wax bowls to the chipped wood chips.Each wax bowl is spaced at a certain distance.
After finishing his work, he used scissors to cut off the thin slices that were stained with the wax bowl, and again glued the nail-sized pieces of wood that were stained with the wax bowl to the Yuwang frame.
Taking advantage of the good weather and temperature, Lu Lu added these Yuwang boxes to the most powerful groups of black bee hives that had already been selected.
The wax bowls made must be cleaned by the bees before they can be used.
On this very day, Lu Lu locked up several bee colonies that were going to be used to breed the queen, and locked up the queen bee in a king prison cage.
The queen bee has no poisonous needles and will not sting people. After finding it, she will gently lock the queen bee into the king prison cage, and hang it outside the bee colony partition with a wire. This will help the bee colony to stabilize and promote Actively build the king's platform.
On the second day, Lu Lu took out the Yuwang frame and found the best spleen.
He first used the insect transfer needle to put some honey on the bottom of these royal cups (wax bowls) cleaned by bees, and then used the insect transfer needle to copy the bottom of the smallest larvae curled up in the royal jelly in the honeycomb, gently Slowly pick out the larvae and put them into the bottom of the king cup.
In the presence of honey, the larvae are easily stuck.
The movement must be quite gentle, or the larva will be injured and it will be useless.
After repeating this, Lu Lu made a queen breeding box and immediately sent it to the bee colony until the king cups were ready to transfer insects and sent them to the beehive.
Things are simple, but require considerable care and patience.
The next step is to see the effect.
It was on this day that when Lu Lu led Chen Xiuyu for a walk in the meadow, he saw three stumbling little deer led by a mother deer.
Three babies are born in one litter, which is much more productive than one litter of sika deer, and two for a few individuals.
In addition, he also saw a female deer that was far away from the herd also gave birth to a calf.
Today, it's really double happiness.
Everything in the meadow is developing in a thriving direction, which is so gratifying.
