My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 416

  Chapter 416 in the dark

   "I'm going, Ribbon Bird, why is it so big and fat?"

  Chen Ling looked forward, and saw that the wide bird net was full of wildly flopping birds, making the two big nets wobbly, but the most conspicuous one was undoubtedly the bird Shan Mao's father Lao Zhong mentioned.

   This bird was none other than the Ribbon Bird that Chen Ling met once last year when he was collecting medicine with his father-in-law in the mountains.

  However, ordinary ribbon birds usually have extremely long tails and small bodies.

   Even the tail and the body are only 30 centimeters long.

   Without a tail, it is just a bird the size of a sparrow.

   But the ribbon bird that hit the net was surprisingly large.

  It can be as big as an ordinary magpie, with a fat and round body, very rich, and looks like a plump gray magpie.

   But it is much more beautiful than the gray magpie.

  A gray magpie has a black semicircle on its head and a gray body. Its tail is straight and long like the flower magpie.

   And this ribbon bird is snow-white except for the head and the tip of the wings, which are blue-black in color.

  Although it hits the net now and keeps flapping its wings and struggling, it still looks graceful. It feels like a peacock after watching it for a long time.

  Hearing Chen Ling say that this bird is a ribbon bird, Zhao Dahai's father, Zhao Yubao, hurriedly squeezed in front of the two of them, "Hey, ribbon bird, I know this, we also have two Chinese paintings of ribbon birds..."

   "Oh Fugui, you have to be gentle with your hands. The beauty of this ribbon bird is all in the tail, so don't ruin it."

   "Don't worry, Uncle Zhao." Chen Ling smiled and took the extremely fat ribbon bird off the Internet, and was not in a hurry to control other birds on the Internet.

  Seeing the two old men eagerly looking at the ribbon bird in their hands, the way they stare intently is no different from the two little dolls seeing a beautiful bird.

   He winked at the two families of Shanmao and Zhao Dahai, making the two young couples laugh out loud.

  The two old ladies felt ashamed and hurried forward to tease them.

"It's okay, Auntie. Since old Uncle Zhong and Uncle Yubao like it, let them take a look. This bird is just like its name, called Ribbon Bird. Look at its long and elegant tail, which flutters around. , just like when we fly kites in spring, the streamers on the kites are the same, they look beautiful when they fly..."

"Last year, my father-in-law and I only saw it once in the mountains. I didn't expect you to come across it this time. This ribbon bird is also called the longevity belt bird. Longevity and longevity mean happiness, well-being, health and longevity. Look, how many Good sign."

  Chen Ling said while stroking the ribbon bird in his hand.

The eyes of the two couples of elderly people brightened, and Zhao Dahai's mother slapped her hands with joy: "Oh, Fugui can talk, just like what Dahai said, you, don't go out and make trouble. "

  The two old men, Lao Zhong and Lao Zhao, nodded again and again.

  I thought to myself: This bird with a ribbon hit the Internet, so health and longevity can be grasped in our hands. It is indeed a good sign.

   Then he asked Chen Ling: "Can this bird be raised?"

  Chen Ling shook his head: "No, this bird is too timid to keep alive."

   "Can't you keep it alive? Well, that, Du Juan, come and take a couple of photos, and I can also draw them in the future."

  Old Zhong and his wife hurriedly beckoned their daughter-in-law to take out the camera to take pictures.

   "Don't worry, sister Juan, I'm holding it in my hand, it doesn't look good, why don't you put it in a cage first..." Chen Ling said.

Du Juan smiled confidently: "It's okay, you first grab me in your hand and take two pictures, and then you find a suitable place to fly. I can take a few pictures and that's all. I often take pictures of birds and draw them, no problem." .”

   "That's fine, this bird is delicate, it would be best not to put it in the cage." Chen Ling nodded and smiled.

   Ribbon birds are beneficial birds, and they are relatively shy in the mountains and fields.

  There are many other birds on the farm, especially this year, but the ribbon bird has never been seen much.

  Of course, it's not like I didn't see it, otherwise such a big one wouldn't suddenly appear.

  It must be because I usually hide from people to see, so I eat such round and rich food here.

  If it was a normal size, the size of a sparrow, this bird net with a large mesh would not be able to catch it.

   They are here happily shooting birds while watching other birds on the bird net.

  Wang Cunye saw the guests coming, so he turned around and went back to the farm early to call out Wang Susu and Gao Xiulan to welcome them.

  My father-in-law also knew that Chen Ling and his friends were rich and wealthy people who didn't have to worry about food and drink, but they only liked to play.

  Running all the way here is definitely not just to see the scenery.

  The main reason is to come here to play.

   No, once you see the birds on the bird net, you can't walk right away?

  So when Wang Susu's mother and daughter were called out, they did not forget to bring two bamboo cages and let people fill the cages with birds.

   "Mom ~ Hurry up ~"

  When the three adults had just walked out of the farm, Ruirui had already run away on Heiwa's broad back.

   At this time, Heiwa was still in front and asked Heiwa to stop, and he was riding on Heiwa anxiously shaking his calf and calling them to hurry up.

  The little thing is walking more and more steadily now, but compared to walking by himself, he still likes to run around with two big dogs on his back.

   Fortunately, the two dogs were told by Chen Ling last time that they would not take him around with him in his mind.

  Generally, it only moves within the sight of people.

  The family felt relieved to let them play together.

   "Stinky boy, please slow down, have you forgotten who got spanked in the **** two days ago?"

  Wang Cunye called him.

  The little guy just giggled and laughed while riding on the dog.

   "Oh, it's Rui Rui who came out, come here, come here, auntie hugs."

  Chen Ling and the others were busy releasing and shooting the birds. Xiang Wenxia heard the movement in the fruit forest, and when she looked over there, she saw the little milk boy riding on the **** dog, and immediately yelled in surprise.

  She and Zhao Dahai like Ruirui very much.

  My daughter, Yaya, a chubby girl, also likes to play with Ruirui.

  Hearing what my mother said at this time, I hurried over from the bird net and looked around in the fruit forest on my feet.

  Seeing that Ruirui was riding a dog, Yaya couldn't help opening her mouth wide in surprise, and shouted: "Ruirui, you are not good, how can you ride on a dog? My grandfather said that dogs can't be ridden."

  The stinky boy doesn't care about these things, he only knows that it's fun to run around on a dog, so he ran over laughing and laughing first.

   Left Wang Susu and the second elder far away.

   At this time, Chen Ling and the others took pictures around the ribbon bird and let the bird fly.

   That brat, Ruirui, rode on the **** dog, followed by the big yellow dog wagging its head and tail, and rushed out of the orchard at the head of the pack.

   Shouting "Dad~Dad~" he went straight to the bird net to find Chen Ling.

  Zhao Dahai and Xiang Wenxia were still very worried after chasing after them, and Yaya was also jumping up and down anxiously.

  The stinky boy was heartless, leaving only a series of baby-like giggles, which were so joyful.

  Bobcat stared straight at it, "Good boy, you'll be majestic at such a big age, I'll let your father take you into the mountains to hunt and play in the future."

  The faces of the elders of the two families changed, they glared at Shanmao, and hurried forward to catch up, for fear that the little guy would fall off.

   "Oh, good boy, how dangerous it is to ride a dog around."

   "Why don't you care about wealth? The doll is still so small."

  Chen Ling smiled helplessly when he heard the words, and shouted to the little thing: "If you don't come down, you will know how to run around."

  Ruirui made Hei Wa slowly fall to the ground, and then grabbed the thick fur on Hei Wa's neck, and crawled down.

   Wobbled and trot to Chen Ling, hugged his leg and laughed.

   Shanmao said to the old people of the two families and Zhao Dahai when he saw this: "Come on, look at this neat appearance, let's not worry, this kid must be used to playing like this..."

  While the two elders breathed a sigh of relief, they were also surprised.

   On the way, Shanmao and Zhao Dahai also told them that Chen Ling's house may be a little different from other people's houses.

   It's only now that I realize that this is a bit different, it's simply too different.

  Let's not talk about them, Zhao Dahai was still muttering softly, “After all, it's a doll from a wealthy family, but it's different from other families. I haven't seen you for a few days, and not only can I ride a dog, but I can even run on the ground.”

  Yaya grabbed his arm and said aggrievedly: "Father, Ruirui ignores me, I don't want to play with him anymore."

  Zhao Dahai quickly comforted: "Ruirui is only one year old, still young, he is a younger brother, you have to give way to younger brother."

  The father and daughter were talking when Wang Susu and the second elder arrived.

  Everyone exchanged warm greetings.

  The two old ladies held on to Wang Susu's hand even more. Now Wang Susu is slowly showing pregnancy, but her complexion is very good, and she doesn't look bloated and bulky as a pregnant woman. The two old ladies praised her.

  Xiang Wenxia and Du Juan were also quite envious, and the topic soon turned to experience in raising fetuses and parenting scriptures.

  The men took two old people and a baby to pick birds on two bird nets.

   Needless to say, the number of birds near the farm is huge. Even if Chen Ling used a bird net with a large mesh, the two bird nets were almost full when he was disturbed by a car just now.

   Not to mention those in the middle who broke free from the net and flew away.

  Although the two old men are cultural people, they also have a childish temper. They are innocent and playful in their bones. Seeing so many birds on the Internet, they are very happy.

  As he asked Chen Ling what birds he couldn't catch, and what birds were good and bad, he happily picked birds from the Internet.

  Birds are picked like fruit.

  The feeling of a big harvest made them extremely happy and extremely happy.

Most of the birds caught in the net today are simple turtle doves, which are very stupid, and their reaction is two beats slower than other birds. They don't know how to hide when the car comes. All hit the net.

  Chen Ling asked the two old men to release all the other birds, leaving all the turtledoves. Tonight, the turtledoves were stewed in a pot.

  Ice the fruit wine in a jar later, it will be very refreshing to drink on this summer night.

   "Dad~ want~"

  The adults picked the bird, and Ruirui pointed to a beautiful yellow-billed **** on the Internet and yelled.

   "I want this, okay, Dad will catch it for you, first let grandpa tie the bird to you with a rope, and you and Sister Yaya can take it and play."

  Chen Ling grabbed the **** and handed it to Wang Cunye.

  The old man found a piece of straw rope, tied one end to the tit's paw, and the other end to a small bamboo stick with forks.

  Pass the bamboo stick to Yaya and ask her to take Ruirui to play.

   fluttering, fluttering—

   Soon, the chickadee flew up and down around the bamboo stick, which was really beautiful.

  Tired from flying, it hangs down straight like a hang, swinging back and forth on the rope of the bamboo stick.

   At this time, the two little guys poked it with their hands, making it continue to fly around the bamboo stick, laughing and having fun.

"We came early because we have been hearing about the deeds of the big turtle in your reservoir recently. Now in the provincial capital and the city, everyone calls your reservoir "Biewang Lake", saying that it is a treat for guests to eat fish and shrimp from Biewang Lake. It's high-grade, and it's expensive if you sell it.”

"I heard from Dahai that it's your aquatic products. Someone drove a special truck all the way to buy them. Lao Zhong and I couldn't sit still at home. I asked my old friend to inquire about the price. I'm afraid that you will lose money if you sell them, so hurry up." Come here."

   After putting the turtledoves in the two cages back to the farm, on the way to visit the reservoir, Zhao Yubao talked about the reason for coming here early.

  They originally planned to arrive a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival.

   I didn't expect to come here so early.

   It was because I heard the wind outside recently that nothing happened at home, so I decided to come here early.

   In case Chen Ling was deceived and kept in the dark.

   After hearing this, Chen Ling first thanked the two old people for their kindness, and then asked the prices of high-end fish and ordinary fish in the provincial capital and city.

  There was almost no difference between what Sun Yanhong said, so she smiled and said, "Uncle Yubao, Old Uncle Zhong, you only know one thing and don't know the other."

   "The price is a bit expensive, but whether it is the second-hand dealer or the restaurant, it is not easy to make a fortune from our side, and it is slightly better than other businesses."

"Our Gucheng County is famous for its mines. I wonder if you've heard of mines? It's quite expensive to transport ore out of the country, especially because the traffic here is poor, and roads are blocked everywhere. Yes, not to mention the shipping cost, it's very exaggerated.”

   "That is to say, under normal circumstances, even if there are transport vehicles, people mainly transport ore. No one pulls aquatic products, and no one transports fruits and vegetables."

   "Think about it, if it's the same distance, if you want to transport a carload of ore to the city, you will be paid 500 yuan, and you will only be paid 200 yuan for aquatic products or fruits and vegetables. It is no wonder that someone is willing to do it."

   "So, when the road conditions here are not good, it is difficult for aquatic products and fruits to go out. Unless the freight price you pay is as high as that of ore trucks, then someone will be willing to do it."

"Now we've just made some money by transporting the aquatic products here. With the name of our old turtle, we can do some other business along the way. After the reputation is established, it will be smooth to talk about business. Only the second-hand traffickers will agree to it. Pay the shipping fee at the same price. You can't let people earn a penny, no one is taken advantage of, right?”

After hearing this, the two old people had different expressions, "So there is another reason here, so it seems that what you said is right, and in your situation, everyone has to make money to do business, and it is also good for your local development. "

  Actually, Tian Hongli's business is booming. In terms of the potential and vitality of this business, it is still not comparable to Sun Yanhong's lobster shop.

  Chen Ling was not afraid of anyone cheating him.

  Even Sun Yanhong's thoughtful mother-in-law can be treated by him.

   If you dare to make troubles, even if you don't bring out those special spices and seasonings that are not well-known in Dongtian.

  Using spiritual water to produce some common seasonings from the outside world is also a powerful weapon that can easily overwhelm Sun Yanhong's recipes.

  In short, he knew everything in his heart, but he found it too troublesome and didn't bother to get involved.

  Just do whatever you want to make money, but in the end, it's not for a better life.
