My 1995 Small Farm

Chapter 765 Preparations before receiving guests

In fact, there is no need to explain too much about the so-called sterile maggots, but Professor Han himself is more curious.

Chen Ling himself actually relied on studying the so-called 'nectar-picking flies' to support himself on this matter. Otherwise, just the sight of those white bugs huddled together and squirming back and forth was enough to make him lose his mind.

"Uncle Han, how are you doing? How is the progress in Yunnan and Guizhou?"

Han Ninggui and Shan Mao went to Yunnan and Guizhou not only to inspect rare wild and endangered animals, but also to pay more attention to the emergence of Indian tigers in Yunnan.

In the eyes of these people, all tigers in the world are the incarnations of the South China tiger in their own country.

Since South China tigers are now close to extinction in the wild.

In this case, you can also find a way out for your own South China tiger by studying other tigers.

Indian tigers and South China tigers also overlap in some survival patterns.

South China tigers can develop into black tigers in Sichuan and Chongqing, and they can develop into Siberian tigers in the Northeast.

If you go to India, you can develop into an Indian tiger.

Among them, the Indian tiger is the closest ancestor to the South China tiger.

Of course, you can rediscover your own South China tiger by crossbreeding them and conducting multi-generation selection.

Otherwise, just relying on Afu and Shou to reproduce slowly and to the end will only degrade their own bloodline.

"We have made very good progress this time. We have obtained a lot of important materials there, and we have also observed Indian tigers."

Han Ninggui said happily: "After the photo is developed, I will show it to you. There are also elephants, peacocks, bobcats and a dog that looks very similar to Heiwa."

"Like Hei Wa?" Chen Ling was a little puzzled.

My own Heiwa is as big as a lion cub, and the Tibetan Mastiff has to call him "big brother" when he stands in front of him.

Can any dog ​​grow to his size?

"It's very similar, but he's definitely not as big as Heiwa. I heard that we brought him there. Maybe he's a relative of Heiwa."

Han Ninggui smiled.

"That's true, we have good dogs here."

Chen Ling smiled and said, Yungui is also very mountainous, and there are not many dogs that are too big in mountainous areas.

The same goes for them here. Although the tiger-headed yellow has a large body, in the final analysis, it can only be the size of a Taihang dog when it grows to its maximum size.

In other words, it weighs eighty kilograms.

Bigger is not better for dogs in the mountains. If they are bigger, they will not only lose their dexterity, but also their endurance will be greatly reduced.

In other words, Hei Wa and Xiao Jin are two different species.

They have long been nourished by spiritual energy and become spiritual dogs.

Their size has not become a hindrance to them, but has become their support in traversing the mountains and forests.

"It's not just dogs, there are surprises when I come back this time, and they all have something to do with you."

Han Ninggui said with a smile: "Don't you always say that you can't find a suitable mating partner for the white bull? This time we met a bull devil in Yunnan and Guizhou..."

"Huh? Is it also a white buffalo?"

Chen Ling was indeed a little surprised when he heard this.

"It's not a white buffalo, it's a hybrid cow over there. It's a cross between a bison and a domestic buffalo..."

Han Ninggui said: "Generally speaking, although bison and domestic cattle are both called cattle, it is difficult to produce offspring from crossbreeding. It is a very small chance."

Chen Ling said: "That means they can mate with each other, but it's difficult to produce offspring?"

"Yes, the chance is very small, but after birth, a cow can combine many advantages of both parents, which is what we saw this time."

Han Ninggui described the appearance of the hybrid cow to Chen Ling. It had muscles like a bison, was taller than a buffalo, and looked fierce, just like the Bull Demon King.

Moreover, this is a big bull, which is very suitable for companionship with the calf.

"Okay, then I'll bring him over and have a look when the time comes."

Chen Ling nodded, then smiled and said: "The little white cow is actually not in a hurry. The dog that looks like Heiwa made me feel itchy after hearing it."

"Haha, kid, I know the dog is what you miss the most."

Han Ninggui burst into laughter.

In fact, he didn't know that Chen Ling was worried about these dogs mainly because he had discussed with Zhao Gang and the others that they would have a big one next year.

Don’t want your bobcat dog park to sit idle.

Think about how there are so many dogs. Not only is eating, drinking and littering a problem, but giving birth to puppies is also endless.

It is better to gather the best dogs from all over the world and put an excellent dog breeding base on the agenda.

…

I had a great time chatting with Han Ninggui.

The two of them went from this field trip to planning two types of zoos, to this year's economic situation, and to the status of Chen Ling's manuscript.

The old and the young talked about everything.

Until Rui Rui woke up from his nap, danced with swords and sticks in the yard, chasing the bald man who had just grown hair everywhere.

Then I went to play with two pig-nosed turtles in front of the big fish tank.

Chen Ling thought he was too noisy.

Just take him out to play.

It happened that Han Ninggui also wanted to see his greenhouse.

I heard about aquaponics and I was a little curious.

Ruirui has been to the cave and been baptized, and he usually nourishes his body with various foods containing spiritual energy.

The bones of the small body are very strong.

As long as he gets enough sleep, that guy is so energetic during the day that it's scary.

And he never had to be held during the day.

Wherever I go, I run on the ground by myself.

When we arrived at the greenhouse, the vegetables in the greenhouse had already sprouted.

Various vegetable seedlings have grown densely close to the ground in just a few days.

The way these vegetables are grown is just like the vegetable gardens of villagers outside, divided into regular small vegetable beds.

These vegetable beds were divided into four large pieces in the greenhouse.

In the middle of these four large blocks is the fish channel.

When Ruirui came to the greenhouse, he took the dog and chased grasshoppers and crickets along the ditch along the ditch.

These grasshoppers and crickets are hatched after autumn. Although the grasshoppers after autumn can only jump around for a few days.

But in the farmland in the north, you can still see many newly hatched grasshoppers after autumn.

It's just that they can't survive the winter in the wild.

Today it is growing smoothly in the greenhouse.

"Good guy, there are so many crickets and grasshoppers. They are pests and they need to be treated."

"Yes, I plan to get some wheat bran in two days to treat them..."

Chen Ling nodded. He was actually thinking of hatching a batch of chickens and ducks and letting them peck at them.

These crickets and grasshoppers are their food.

But things have been very busy lately, and I obviously can’t catch up.

Han Ninggui waved his hand and said: "Hey, actually there is no need to do that. You can open a hole in the morning and let the cold wind blow through, and all these insects will be killed.

The vegetable seedlings are fine in the greenhouse and will not freeze to death. "

"That's okay."

Chen Ling nodded: "This will save a lot of trouble."

He also knew that insects such as crickets and grasshoppers were most afraid of winter frost.

They have a hard time surviving the winter.

So much so that a mechanism for overwintering is set up on the insect eggs.

Don't let them hatch again in autumn.

Many people who specialize in cricket fighting and want to cultivate such things need to pass the eggs laid in the summer through the refrigerator before they can hatch successfully.

And sometimes, the weather is hot and cold.

This will cause a large number of insect eggs to hatch in autumn, just like those in the greenhouse, and they will die immediately.

So he didn't pay much attention to these bugs.

"Isn't the water in your canal stagnant? Why is it so clear..."

It was a very gratifying scene to see the green grass growing vigorously next to the canal, the water in the canal being clear and translucent, and the fish swimming and playing among the grass.

"With aquaponics, the harmful substances in fish feces seep into the ground and are absorbed by the vegetable seedlings."

"If you put it this way, you are a bit like a mulberry fish pond."

"Speaking of it, it's almost..."

While the two were talking, Chen Ling showed the old man several boxes of bees he kept in the shed.

The two of them enjoyed it.

Ruirui soon became impatient and ran over, shook his arm and shouted: "Dad, mushrooms."

He prefers to go to the mushroom shack.

The little mushrooms there are fun to pull off, and they are delicious when cooked.

"Let's go for a walk and pick mushrooms."

Chen Ling patted his little head and walked to the mushroom shed.

"This kid speaks so clearly after I haven't seen him for a while."

Han Ninggui sighed at Ruirui's cleverness.

But the little boy's mind was obviously not here.

Because the mushrooms in the greenhouse grow very fast and look different every day, Ruirui especially likes to pick those mushrooms.

And marvel at the transformation of those mushrooms.

In the simple mind of the little doll, those mushrooms that can grow so big in one day are so magical and incredible.

And after he took it off, new ones appeared in the previous position.

So I have to pick a lot every time I come here.

Chen Ling's mushrooms are just ordinary mushrooms, nothing too surprising.

But after simply frying meat for dinner at night, Han Ninggui, who had been nesting in the mountains for nearly two months, still had a great meal.

Early the next morning, another surprise was prepared for Chen Ling.

It turned out to be a recipe from the Republic of China period.

It was said that a village had picked it up from a bandit's den before.

It contains a variety of recipes, recording the basic recipes of various cuisines.

Although not complete, it is enough to give people a glimpse of the customs of the Republic of China.

The most precious thing among them is the original recipes of many cuisines.

Many advertisements in later generations say that traditional food tastes good, but in fact, it can't compare to this.

Compared to dogs that look similar to Heiwa, and crossbred cows that look very tough, this recipe is the biggest surprise.

It just so happens that I have a banquet for guests recently.

With this recipe, Chen Ling can play some new tricks.

The banquet must first be unique, but it cannot be all unique.

Chen Ling thought before that he needed game, but he couldn't fill the whole table with game, right?

That's impossible.

So...game is the garnish.

Mainly farm dishes, as well as traditional chicken, duck, fish and other dishes.

It's just that traditional dishes must also taste good, otherwise it wouldn't be justified to invite so many friends and hold such a big scene, right?

Therefore, Chen Ling became excited as soon as Professor Han's recipe was unveiled.

Without saying a word, I started running westward that day, visiting several surrounding counties and cities to prepare various ingredients.

At the same time, I called Sun Yanhong and asked her to prepare a large amount of goods, and then asked Little Sheep to send two carts of fruits and vegetables back.

Ingredients cannot be missing, and of course the fruits as decoration cannot be missing.

Chen Ling even took out the fruits that had been stored in the cave in autumn, and waited until that day to put them out together to entertain guests.
