My 1995 Small Farm.

"Since you said so, shouldn't I bring some better food to lure those wild geese over here?"

When Chen Ling heard what Shanmao said, he smiled with ill intention.

"What do you mean, do you want to use these wild geese in your home as decoys, like pheasant decoys or bird decoys, to lure those wild geese over here?"

Bobcat raised his eyebrows, he felt that this was not very feasible.

Because the geese are highly disciplined.

Unless you catch a batch of them like Chen Ling did, clip their wings and keep them in captivity for a period of time, there is no way you can simply lure them over to settle down.

"That's about right. I'm not greedy anyway. It's the end of the year again, so I'm not thinking about hunting anymore. I'll just keep as many geese as I can."

Chen Ling looked nonchalant.

The mountain cat paused after hearing this: "So what are you going to use to lure them?"

Chen Ling: "Just home-made feed, with some wine dregs, soybean meal, tofu dregs, etc. It's almost the New Year, and these things are the most abundant. This stuff smells very good, isn't it better than chewing wheat seedlings every day?"

"Is this okay?"

"Of course you can. You don't understand the power of feed on wild animals."

Things like feed are extremely attractive to wild animals even if Chen Ling does not use his own spiritual things and has no interest in attractants.

Even when food is abundant in the wild, it still does not taste as good as feed.

People may think that eating bad feed will cause the quality of animal meat to deteriorate.

But for wild animals, eating feed is no less than going out to a restaurant after having enough of simple meals every day.

Just like a child craving for instant noodles and spicy noodles.

why?
Because it’s delicious and flavourful.

That's what feed is.

It tastes better and more flavorful than things grown in the wild.

Make people want to stop.

That's right, feed cannot be used indiscriminately.

In other words, people like Chen Ling who often raise all kinds of things, have liked mountain birds, insects and fish since childhood, and are familiar with their habits, dare to come up with all kinds of weird ideas and bad ideas.

If someone doesn't understand and just listens to the feed, then that's it.

It will definitely be useless once you learn it.

For example, if you use chicken and duck feed, even though they are all poultry, some wild birds will die if you feed them.

Even a hardy parrot can't withstand two meals of chicken feed.

But there's no problem if you use chicken and duck feed to feed geese.

The reason is simple.

Chickens, ducks and geese are all omnivores.

The nutritional content is different.

Wild birds, especially those that mainly feed on a vegetarian diet, also mostly feed on fruits and grains.

The stomach and intestines cannot handle eating chicken feed.

Not to mention the birds, even Ermaolu’s cows ate a lot of feed, so they got food poisoning, didn’t they?
Don't eat random meals.

"I still don't understand. Are you free this afternoon? Take me to have a look so I can learn something. I see you have a lot of good stuff hidden away."

The Bobcats are still full of question marks.

"Let's do it after the New Year. I have to make tofu at home this afternoon, so I'll make tofu for both families by then. It's already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, so we have to hurry.

I have to make rice cakes again on the 28th of the day after tomorrow. I am very busy at the end of the year and don’t have time to play these things. "

Chen Ling sighed: "But it's okay to herd the geese twice in the afternoon. I haven't even taken care of this guy since I came back, so I'm going out to herd him twice."

"Well, it's true what you said. The end of the year is busy."

Shanmao chuckled, "When I came here, the villagers discussed that even if the work stopped, they couldn't let you sit idle. They said that the village couldn't do without you now. The statue of the land temple needs to be replaced, and I guess they will ask you to go."

"I'm just a figurehead. If all else fails, just donate a hundred dollars as incense money."

Chen Ling was helpless. He knew that this was not a question of money. Although he was young, he had a sense of being respected.

The villagers were willing to have him present at many things.

I'm not after his money, I just believe him more. That's why I feel helpless.

"Let's go, let's eat and drink. Let's feed the geese and let them go when the sun sets. They just came back, so let them rest."

After Chen Ling finished the remaining soup to soak the rice grains, he got up and took Bobcat to the backyard, where he used a winnowing basket to collect some soybean meal residue after oil extraction, mixed with ground cornmeal and wheat bran.

He filled a large winnowing basket with water, carried it to the canal, poured it into the stone trough, rinsed it with water, and mixed it with the leftover vegetable leaves.

Seeing the delicious meals, the big geese had been looking forward to them for a long time. They sat beside the stone trough and ate with a clattering noise, just like big geese.

The feeling of wolfing it down was simply amazing.

"I feed them like this and give them some leftovers every day. When they go outside, they won't even eat wheat seedlings."

Chen Ling said: "We have a saying here: wild geese come to eat wheat seedlings, and little swallows come to eat noodles. We welcome little swallows but not wild geese.

It’s because the wild geese are harming the wheat seedlings.

But, now that there is something delicious to eat, no one would want to eat wheat seedlings.

This kind of oil is high in oil and is not worse than high-protein feed. The geese eat too much of it and they don’t even look at the wheat seedlings.”

"Hehe, that's true. I've discovered that your ideas, although sometimes they sound corny, are indeed correct and very useful."

The mountain cat chuckled, "I used to think you were being wild, but now that I think about it, it's all based on the nature of this wild thing."

"Yes, you are right."

Chen Ling put his hands behind his back and nodded: "You know how many pheasants were lured to my house in the spring. According to the habits of this thing, you can set a trap for it. It will work every time!"

Of course, he did not deliberately bring these pheasants home.

This is because there are too many male pheasants in the mountains in the past two years.

It is difficult for them to find a wife. When they are in heat, they see the hens at the foot of the mountain and become jealous, so they come over to compete with each other for mating.

After the incident, the place provided food and accommodation, it was very comfortable and I didn’t want to leave.

As for whether eggs are laid after hybridization.

Chen Ling didn't know either. Anyway, when he thought about it recently, he had already caught some pheasants and threw them into the cave, letting them mate with the native chickens.

Raising chickens is a trivial matter and nothing to worry about.

The most you can do is make quick-cooked broiler chickens, nothing else is useful.

"It seems that your geese really have some potential as decoys. I was worrying too much. I was really afraid that if I asked Er Tuzi and his two followers to herd the geese twice, you would get away with it and lose these geese. They would run away with the flock of geese."

"That won't happen."

After talking about the wild geese, the two talked about the puppies. Thanks to Chen Ling's feeding, the puppies are now strong.

Normally, puppies of this age are full of fat, plump and chubby, which is very cute.

These puppies are skinny.

This shows how pitiful it is. In the wild, you can only have a good meal and drink once every five or six days.

There are too many puppies and the mother dog is unwilling to feed them.

The bitch is hungry too.

Fortunately, these puppies are doing well and are very affectionate now.

Both Chen Ling and Shanmao consider him a good prospect.

The genes of native dogs, also known as Chinese pastoral dogs, are very unstable.

After they grow up, there is an almost polarized division between sensible dogs and rebellious dogs. It goes without saying how difficult it is to raise a highly obedient hunting dog.

The two men did not expect to raise these dogs into hunting dogs.

Just be sensible and be able to look after the house.

Then crossbreed them with purebred dogs. Chen Ling had heard that many of the predecessors of military dogs in World War II were crossbred to have four bloodlines, which turned out to be good dogs.

Anyway try it.

As they were talking, they were about to leave when Wang Laishun rode up on his bike:

"Are you busy this afternoon, Fugui? There's something going on in the village, you have to go over there."

"Will the land temple get a new statue?"

"Yes, it's good that you heard it. Let's go and take a look together." (End of this chapter)
