Chapter 72 The water duck has laid eggs
"Uncle Xiaohao, Uncle Xiaohao" just woke up and hadn't even put on his clothes, he heard the little kid knocking on the door outside.
"What are you knocking, don't knock, it's here." He hurriedly put on his clothes and took the key to open the door.
But I saw a young man standing at the door, following the group of half-grown naughty children.
"It's you..." The person who came was slightly stunned when he saw him.
"Hey, isn't this Zhao Guangming? Why are you here?" Liu Junhao quickly opened the door and said apologetically: "Come in, come in quickly." But he murmured in his heart. He didn't know what was going on early in the morning, and he hadn't even washed his face.
"I just transferred to the post office recently, so I just divided the errands to deliver letters to the countryside. Someone sent you the mailing items from the city. This is a package order to sign for it," Zhao Guangming said as he took out the pen.
Qingshan Town is not big, and nothing big can spread all over the town within three days. Therefore, he certainly heard about a talented person in Liujiagou.
He was also very excited when delivering the letter this time, and wanted to meet this capable man, but he didn't expect that this capable man had even drunk alcohol with him.
Liu Junhao took the order and saw that the sender wrote Su Nana's name, and he knew that he was mailing books about breeding snails. He thought to himself that this girl was doing things very well and had mailed the books in just a few days.
After signing the order and paying five dollars, he received another postcard for postal. Liu Junhao didn't even look at it and handed it to the little kid and said, "Give it, take it back and play."
The little kid happily answered it with his companions' envious eyes, and looked at it over and over again.
"This postcard can be used to reward the prize," Zhao Guangming quickly reminded.
"Redeem a ghost prize. You have been forcibly giving postcards to others for five or six years. I have not heard of anyone in our town who won the prize. Even if you send a letter, you have to force a postcard. I don't know what the people below say about you." Liu Junhao said disapprovingly.
"Hehe," Zhao Guangming smiled and said nothing. He had scolded the post office for such a thing before, but now he has changed to sending a letter, so it is hard to say anything else.
"You must have not eaten yet when you get up so early to deliver the letter. Just eat here. Just wait, it's fine in twenty minutes." Liu Junhao then remembered the cooking and hurriedly got up to prepare breakfast.
"Don't, I still have a few letters to deliver. If they are late, they will go to work on the floor after dinner, so I will go to waste my time." Zhao Guangming hurriedly stopped him.
Liu Junhao knew that what he was talking about was the truth, so he didn't keep it anymore.
"By the way, I almost forgot the serious matter. You get three pounds of eels for me. After delivering the letter, I will come to pick it up. There will be guests at home at noon." He said, taking out thirty dollars from his pocket and stuffing it into Liu Junhao's hand.
After sending the person away, Liu Junhao washed his face and started cooking. After dinner, he directly got more than a dozen large eels from the stone lock and threw them into the bucket and weighed them. It was almost three and a half pounds.
After waiting in the yard for less than twenty minutes, Zhao Guangming rode a motorcycle to his door and said he was here to get the eel. The kid didn't even take the eels. As a result, Liu Junhao had to turn over a bag of long-skinned insects from the house for him to use. He also told him to go back and put it in the wooden basin as soon as possible, so that the eels would not be suffocated to death, otherwise it would not be delicious until noon.
Fish eat fresh shrimps and jumps, and fish are all delicious. Zhao Guangming naturally knew this truth. Anyway, the road section of Liujiagou has only been repaired and the road conditions are very good, so he drove quickly and got home in just five or six minutes.
"Your dad is really good. Just buy two eels on the street. I have to ask you to buy them in Liujiagou and pay such a high price," Zhao Guangming's mother started complaining as soon as she took the bag, "Let me see what's good about this eel? How long does it have to grow a head or a tail. Not bad, it's pretty fat. Have you ever weighed it?"
Zhao Guangming ran for a long time and was squatting there to wash his face. After finishing his washing, he said: "I had already done it when I went there. Don't worry, I won't be missing a few taels."
"That's hard to say. Nowadays, all those who do business are so savage. What if there is a problem with the scale?" Zhao's mother was a little worried and carried the eel into the house and weighed it with an electronic scale. She shouted in surprise, "Guangming, come in and see if our scale is broken again, why did it get half a pound more?"
Zhao Guangming also walked into the room after hearing this. He turned off the switch, then turned on the power again, and stopped for a minute before putting the cloth bag on it, but it still showed that it was mostly half a catty.
They all understood that it must be Liu Junhao who gave him half a pound, and Zhao's mother couldn't help but sigh: "Just because of the honesty of others, the eels will definitely be selling well."
In the morning, Professor Zhao made a basket and said he wanted to get some chicken shit manure and go back to fertilize the seedlings. So Liu Junhao bent over and moved the chicken coop apart, and then shoveled the chicken manure outward with iron shovels.
He raised more than 20 hens at home, and more than ten ducks were scattered in chicken cages for several months, so a thick layer was piled on the ground, and only a small piece was cleared, and a full basket was made.
After helping Professor Zhao finish it, Liu Junhao also remembered his flower pond, and the chicken cage should be completely cleaned to make it hygienic. Otherwise, as the weather is warm, it will be difficult to deal with these chickens and ducks getting sick.
So he spent the whole morning busy with the chicken cage, running one basket after another, and finally laying a thick layer in the flower pond before he could finish it.
After cleaning the chicken cage, there was another sheep pen, and a lot of sheep manure was cleared out. Last summer, Liu Junhao thought the yard was empty and bought a lamb. When he went to Qiuli, he had no place to sheep because the yard was dug in the yard, so he sold it and raised hares with the vacant sheep pen.
Although the sheep manure and rabbit manure are very strong, they have to be fermented for a while before they can be put into the ground. Therefore, Liu Junhao wanted to clean up the west side of the courtyard wall. There used to be a lot of miscellaneous wood, which was almost burned during the Chinese New Year. Now he piled the feces in that corner.
Who knew that as soon as he walked to the corner of the wall with a shovel, he found a nest made of branches and dead grass on the pile of wood, and a blue-white duck egg lying inside.
"Well, water duck egg." He picked it up and weighed it for a while and was surprised.
I thought these ducks would take some time to lay eggs, but I didn't expect that they started laying eggs just now. This thing was so clever that they put it in a good place without using a chicken coop, but secretly built a new nest in the yard.
If he hadn't planned to pile up manure here today, he might not have found it.
Finally, he remembered that there were about ten ducks in his yard, at least half of which were female. They were all hatched in one nest, and it was probably time to lay eggs, so there might be still a nest on it.
He stepped on the wood and became excited. Five or six duck nests were piled up on the woods, and five duck eggs were already lying in the most one.
In other words, these ducks started laying eggs a few days ago, but I didn't notice them. I don't know how they hid them. He has been in the yard these days.
Liu Junhao hurriedly called Professor Zhao to come across the courtyard wall. Professor Zhao was very happy to see it. When he left, he specially made four of them back and prepared to stir-fry them at noon.
Of course, when they picked up duck eggs, they did not sweep the nest in it, but left a thought for the ducks in each one, otherwise they might have to change places again when they lay eggs next time.
In this way, the place to ferment manure can only be re-selected. Liu Junhao decided to pile the manure directly behind the sheep pen. After cleaning, he dug a few baskets of soil outside and covered the sheep pen with a layer. He suddenly felt that the smell inside was much better.
At noon, Liu Junhao naturally fried a few duck eggs. Perhaps because these ducks often eat vegetables in the yard, the duck eggs didn't taste fishy.
In addition, after working hard for a long time in the morning, he was already hungry. At noon, he thought the fried duck egg was particularly delicious and tasted very delicious.
After dinner, Liu Junhao specially moved a chair and sat under the poplar trees and looked at the pile of mixed trees from afar. He wanted to see when the duck laid eggs.
But after waiting for an hour, he was bored and drowsy, because no duck flew towards the pile of mixed trees.
The duck didn't wait, but heard the sound of a car outside the door, and Xiaopi rushed up with a buzzing sound.
