Fang Wei then spent another 6600 points to upgrade the level of [Poultry House No. 2] from level 3 to level 7.

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Poultry house No. 2]

【Facility Level: (Level 7, 0\10000)】

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, accelerated growth, increased egg production, nesting]

[Raising chickens in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 35%]

Total points: 586

After a series of operations, all the points I just earned were spent before they even had time to warm up.

The remaining points became a pitiful three-digit number again, only 586 points left.

But it is all worth it. Now is the critical period for spring sowing. Only by laying a solid foundation can we have a good harvest.

The next day.

Fang Weiyi got up early and took a walk around the experimental field before going up the mountain with his gun on his back.

An acre of land in the valley is planted with soybeans. He has been very busy recently and has not taken care of the things here, so the sowing is done by my eldest brother alone.

Now that he was here, he wasn't idle. He watered and weeded the fields and reinforced the fence. After a while of work, he just sat down to drink a sip of water when a message popped up in front of him.

[Harvest prey, points +6, total points: 592 points]

"Is there prey that has fallen into the trap?"

Fang Wei had experience, so he immediately stood up, packed up, and headed straight for the [hunting area].

When they got to the edge of the field, they saw a hare trapped in a trap and unable to escape.

Fang Wei stepped forward, collected the prey, walked around the area, and then returned home.

There were plenty of hares and pheasants in the area, and sometimes muntjacs, but no large beasts had been spotted. Catching rabbits alone wasn't very efficient, so he usually set traps in advance and waited for the prey to take the bait.

Just like this, you can add some meat to your family throughout the year.

"Sister-in-law, let's have rabbit meat tonight."

As soon as Fang Wei entered the room, he handed the wild rabbit to Tian Guihua. In his previous life, he was a man who could cook, but he had basically never been in the kitchen in this life.

This is human laziness. Who would want to work hard when they can eat something ready?

"Okay, I'll get it."

Tian Guihua took the hare with a smile. She knew her younger brother's ability, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Later, Fang Ping came back from work and asked about the situation in the valley.

Hearing that his third brother had brought back another rabbit, he couldn't help but laugh: "Great! We'll have something to go with the wine tonight."

When it was time to eat, Fang Wei drank a few glasses of sweet potato wine with his elder brother and felt much better.

"Third brother, I have planted vegetables all over my private plot as you asked."

Since one mu of land really couldn't do much, Fang Wei asked his elder brother to plant various vegetables with him.

Nowadays, old seeds are used to grow crops and vegetables. Although the yield is not high, the taste is very good, which is what people often say "vegetables have vegetable flavor."

He plans to improve the old seeds at the same time, so as to increase the yield while maintaining their advantages.

He just did it casually and didn't take it seriously.

Seven or eight kinds of vegetables are planted in the private plot, including peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, beans, taro, celery, rapeseed, etc.

Fang Ping's private plot is planted with some peanuts and some different varieties of vegetables.

The members of the team rely on their private plots for vegetables, and they also have to leave some space to grow sweet potatoes, peanuts, soybeans and so on.

They have to budget carefully every year and are not as casual as the Fang family.

Fang Ping had become accustomed to his third brother's behavior, and he basically made the decisions on household matters.

"Brother, I'll be free for a bit from now on. I'll go check on the valley from time to time. You just keep busy."

It will soon be the team's turn to plant rice. Fang Ping and Tian Guihua will be busy, but Fang Wei will be more relaxed.

He and his breeding team did not participate in the work in the field, and the rice planting work in the experimental field had been completed, so he could take a break and be lazy.

The two brothers were drinking and talking when a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Team Leader Fang, are you home?"

No need to ask, he is definitely not from the village. Villagers would not call Fang Wei like that. Judging from the voice, he should be Wen Gong.

"I'm home, come in."

In fact, the gate of Fang's courtyard was not closed at all. Fang Wei shouted and saw Wen Gong hurriedly walking in.

"Team Leader Fang, something went wrong. Four ducks are missing."

Engineer Wen was really anxious. Everything went fine when releasing and collecting the ducks every day, but something went wrong today.

It shouldn't have happened. He and Mr. Luo worked very diligently, counting the number of ducks every morning and evening. It was only in the evening that they discovered that four ducks were missing.

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Wen, sit down and have a glass of wine."

After hearing this, Fang Wei didn't care much, but instead pulled Wen Gong to drink a glass of sweet potato wine.

It just so happened that he had eaten and drunk enough, so after Wen Gong had eaten some food, he got up and went to [Poultry House No. 2] with him.

When Luo Gong saw the two men, he hurried over and said, "Indeed, four ducks are missing. I looked around but couldn't find them."

"Make a note of this and look for it later. As long as these four ducks are still in the village, we'll definitely find them."

After these days of feeding, the ducklings have obviously grown bigger and are growing very fast.

But no one eats ducks at this stage. If there is no accident, then someone must have captured them. Fang Wei is not worried. No matter who captured the duck, as long as the duck can move freely in the future, it will definitely return to the poultry house.

Poultry houses have the characteristic of being "home-loving". As long as the chickens and ducks have lived in poultry houses, the instinct of being home-loving will be engraved in their bones.

"I'm sorry, Team Leader. We will definitely pay attention in the future and won't make the same mistake again."

Engineers Wen and Luo felt very ashamed. Fang Wei trusted them, so he gave the task of raising ducks to them, but such a thing happened.

In addition, I also felt sad about the work points that were deducted because of losing the duck.

"Well, it's not a big deal. Just be more careful next time."

Fang Wei said something perfunctorily and left [Poultry House No. 2].

the next day.

He took Deng Yuanen and a few others to look for the lost ducks everywhere, which alarmed the team.

Zheng Xianfa started cursing, convinced that someone had hidden the ducks, and asked Zheng Bao to take a few militiamen to search door to door.

The members were very cooperative. Since they didn't take anything, they were not afraid of others entering the house.

We searched the village but couldn't find him, then went to the resettlement workers' residence, but still couldn't find him.

"Third brother, the ducks are over there in the cowshed. That's where Old Wu first lived."

In the end, Deng Yuanen and his team discovered the duck's tracks, but they did not act rashly. Instead, they ran to tell Fang Wei.

The place where Wu Maosheng first lived was very simple. Later, he moved and the place became vacant.

Who would have thought the lost duck would be over there?
"Deng Yuanen, please don't make any noise and don't hang around nearby."

Fang Weiyi immediately realized that the lost duck was locked there on purpose.

He explained this to Deng Yuanen and others, then went to find Zheng Bao and told him about the unusual situation.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to find the person who stole the duck. Let's look for the duck in a big way. Unless the person is stupid, he won't jump out."

After discussing it, the two finally gave up the idea of "fishing" and sent the four ducks back to [Poultry House No. 2].

Fang Wei asked Deng Yuanen and others to investigate quietly and ask more people to see who had appeared in the cowshed the night before.

"Third brother, besides the cattle herders that night, there was a guy who looked suspicious. That guy was Qi Feng."

Deng Yuanen quickly brought back the news. Based on the results of the inquiry, he suspected that Qi Feng might have done it.

Qi Feng is a resettled worker. He is usually cunning and dishonest at work, and he says a lot of strange things.

Fang Wei then told the director of public security, who questioned Qi Feng, but the other party refused to admit it.

There's nothing we can do about this. No one else saw it. We just passed by the cowshed at that time. We really can't put the blame of stealing ducks on the other person.

After knowing the result, Fang Wei didn't say anything, but asked someone to keep an eye on Qi Feng secretly.

A few days passed quickly.

The rice planting work began and the entire second team became busy.

Most people are full of enthusiasm, but there are still some individuals who do not work hard.

"Qi Feng, you're so sarcastic all the time, why do you become so weak when you start working? Saying you're not as good as a woman is flattering you. You're not even as good as half a laborer."

Zheng Xianfa was furious and scolded Qi Feng and the other three people.

Three of the four people were resettled, and the other was a well-known "lazy man" in the village.

Their problem is purely attitude. If it was a problem of ability, Zheng Xianfa would not have lost his temper so much.

After a few days, these four people had their work points deducted every day and were also ridiculed by everyone.

Qi Feng's heart was filled with resentment, and he became increasingly gloomy.

After the rice planting work was completed, Zheng Xianfa found Fang Wei and wanted to discuss with him how to deal with Qi Feng.

According to the procedure, the team could label the person "opposing labor" and report him. However, this way, the person would suffer the consequences, and if he didn't die, he would be severely punished.

Zheng Xianfa looked cold but was actually warm-hearted, and still wanted to save this guy.

Fang Wei did not express his opinion. He felt that Qi Feng must have a mental problem and could not be saved.

"Forget it, Captain, don't write a review for Qi Feng yet. Talk to him again, and if he still doesn't listen, just let him fend for himself from now on, so that no one will say we're bullying him."

It’s not that he is kind-hearted, but he doesn’t want Zheng Xianfa to get involved in such trouble.

Of course, if you don't work hard, your work points will definitely be deducted. Everyone is treated equally on this point, otherwise the members will not agree.

If Qi Feng still doesn't know what's good for him and insists on jumping out to cause trouble, once he is caught in the act, no one can save him.

Fang Wei felt that some people would commit mistakes like stealing ducks again.

The spring rain is continuous.

As the temperature gradually rises, the seedlings in the experimental fields and the fields grow stronger and stronger.

After Fang Wei's observation, the time was ripe to release ducks into the rice fields.

"Engineer Luo, Engineer Wen, from now on we'll start raising ducks in the rice fields. Just feed the ducks once every evening, and let them find food on their own the rest of the time."

The ducks in [Poultry House No. 2] had grown bigger again. Fang Wei notified Mr. and Mrs. Wen and started to let the ducks roam free.
