Chapter 490 Daily Life After Returning to the Village (11)
Ling Chuan didn't mind the child's shyness and said, "Let's look together, buy more, and pick what you like."
"Okay!" Xiao Anyu smiled broadly and mustered up the courage to take his hand. Unlike Uncle Liu, Uncle Ling's hand was large, broad, and full of strength.
Afterwards, the family of three went straight to a large fireworks store, bought a lot of fireworks, and asked the store to deliver them to their home...
The moon sets and the sun rises; it's a new day.
That morning, Xia Mo and his family visited Qin Ji with gifts to thank him for protecting Xiao Anyu while they were away. In the afternoon, the three of them did not rush back to Liujia Village, but instead drove their carriage to Shili Pu for an inspection.
The two were not visiting Shilipu for the first time, but it was Xiao Anyu's first time. His heterochromatic eyes stood out among the three, and the villagers of Shilipu either looked at him with awe and fear or with disgust and disdain, keeping their distance from him.
Xiao Anyu was immune to this and followed his two uncles to the breeding farm without being affected at all.
The farm has been built and chickens have been raised, though not many. There are ten old hens and three roosters. Although hens can lay eggs without roosters, the flock is prone to scattering if there are no roosters in the coop to keep them quiet. The rest are young chickens that are already resistant to cold.
As for the incubation room, since Xia Mo and Ling Chuan were not there, and Huang Yan and his wife, who were specifically responsible for looking after the breeding farm, did not know how to do it, they did not dare to touch it.
"You've done a great job, thank you for your hard work," Xia Mo said to Huang Yan and his wife after touring the entire farm.
The Huang couple smiled sheepishly. Huang Yan said, "It's not hard work. We just feed them at mealtimes every day. We're glad you and the eldest don't mind us taking the liberty of doing it ourselves."
After the farm was completed, the boss and his wife didn't come back. Seeing that such a large empty space was a waste, they thought it would be better to catch some chickens to raise. So they consulted with the brothers who hadn't been sent by the boss to work as waiters at the hot pot restaurant. In the end, everyone agreed to raise a small batch first to see how it goes.
As it turned out, they did not disappoint their brothers' trust. The first batch of chickens raised in the trial were all plump and energetic, and had already laid a lot of eggs. Knowing the purpose of the incubator, they picked out the good eggs and set them aside for the next step.
Xia Mo looked at them with amusement and said, "What's so strange about it? It was agreed from the beginning that the farm would be managed by you. It's just a small matter, nothing more. You'll have to make many more decisions in the future, so just go ahead and do it."
Xia Mo was very satisfied with the couple who were decisive, methodical, and meticulous. After all, the choice of people to manage the farm was not arbitrary. Huang Yan's family used to be a large-scale chicken, duck, and goose farmer. They knew more about poultry than laymen, so he was very at ease entrusting the farm to them.
"By the way, we've already inspected the incubator and there aren't any major problems. We'll talk to you about the incubation precautions later. When you try to incubate the first batch of eggs, remember to report any problems promptly and don't delay so we can resolve them as soon as possible."
"Huh?" Huang Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he stammered, "Really... really hand it over to us?"
Although he had wanted to try out the incubator for a long time to see if it was really that magical, able to hatch chicks without a mother hen, he had only thought about it. He never expected that he would actually hand it over to them in the end.
His husband, Zou Qing, was also filled with surprise and excitement, but then a little worried. "But...we've never done this before, and we don't really know how. Will there be any problems if we're the ones doing it?"
"No, practice makes perfect. Top talents in any industry all started as novices. Practice makes perfect. If you don't succeed the first time, just try a few more times. Analyze the problems and the key points, and you'll definitely succeed," Xia Mo, a professional motivational speaker, encouraged.
Actually, maintaining a suitable temperature in the incubation room is easy; he and Brother Chuan could easily do it with a fire-attribute temperature-regulating talisman. However, this is a world with internal energy and martial arts but not yet a world of cultivation, and they cannot and do not want to disrupt the balance here.
As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." The key is to have the technology in your own hands. Only when they understand and master the ins and outs of the incubator will it not be wasted after they leave decades later.
Ling Chuan also said, "It's settled then. As long as you follow what A Mo said, there won't be any major problems. You can focus on managing the farm. When the weather gets warmer, you can add more poultry. If you need more manpower, hire people from the village. If you need anything, just come to us."
Huang Yan was deeply moved and promised, "Okay, I, Huang Yan, will definitely manage the farm well and will live up to your expectations!"
Zou Qing also said loudly, "Yes, we will definitely hatch the first batch of chicks as soon as possible and successfully!"
Seeing their reaction, Xia Mo's eyes remained smiling. His gaze lingered on Zou Qing for a moment before he smiled and said, "Qing-ge'er, do you know about shuttlecocks and feather dusters?"
Zou Qing was quick-witted; his eyes lit up immediately when Xia Mo mentioned it. "I know!"
Yeah, why didn't he think of that? Shuttlecocks and feather dusters are all things that can make money. Their farm has plenty of beautiful chicken feathers, they could totally make and sell those!
Zou Qing's heart was burning with passion. He looked at Xia Mo with trust and admiration. As a fellow young man, if his man hadn't been determined to bring him here to join the boss, he would never have known that young men could live such a dazzling life and have their own careers!
Seeing that he understood what she meant, Xia Mo gave him a 'you're not bad' look and said, "Keep up the good work, this is yours personally."
Zou Qing's smile widened, and she responded crisply, "Okay."
Then, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan explained in detail the precautions to take when using the incubation room before leaving the farm to check out the cleared hills.
"Wow, what a tall and huge mountain! Uncle Liu, are fruit trees going to be planted here?" Xiao Anyu asked, looking up at the mountain in front of him.
Xia Mo replied, "Yes, this place will be an orchard in the future. Does Xiao Anyu have any favorite fruits? Uncle will arrange to plant some."
Should I plant the fruit trees I like?
Even with the constant surprises over the past two days, Xiao Anyu was still incredibly shocked, overjoyed, and overjoyed, so much so that he wanted to throw himself into Uncle Liu's arms and cry his heart out.
His nose stung with tears, and he looked up at Xia Mo, his tone slightly changing as he said, "I like peaches!"
"Okay, then we'll plant some peach trees." Xia Mo also thought peaches were delicious.
Ling Chuan glanced at the child, who was clearly moved again, frowned slightly, and said, "Is there anything else?"
Xiao Anyu thought for a moment, then named another fruit: "Longan?"
"This is good. Longan is good whether eaten raw or dried. Our little Anyu has good taste," Xia Mo praised.
Xiao Anyu smiled, his eyes crinkling, and asked in return, "Where's Uncle Liu? What fruits do you and Uncle Ling like to eat?"
Xia Mo smiled and said, "Uncle likes to eat a lot of fruits."
"A lot? Uncle Liu, have you eaten a lot of fruit?" Xiao Anyu asked curiously, "What are those?"
"Hmm, let me think... there are berries, grapes, pears, pomelos, oranges..."
Xia Mo rattled off a long list of fruits, which made Xiao Anyu envious. Especially when Xia Mo described how delicious the fruits were, Xiao Anyu subconsciously swallowed his saliva, really wanting to eat one and try it right away.
Not to mention Xiao Anyu, even Xia Mo himself was craving it.
Ling Chuan looked at the two children, one big and one small, with amusement and doting, and gave each of them a grape-flavored candy.
They don't plan to sell this candy for the time being, so they didn't bring it out when they met Manager Hong yesterday.
