Chapter 58 The little chicken is here
"Xiao Chang, your orchard is getting bigger and bigger! Now you've started to grow cherries too."
An uncle from the labor team said.
"Uncle Wu, I'm not good at running an orchard. These are some new varieties of cherries given to me by a friend, so I can try growing them.
"When the fruits are ripe, I will try them at home and give some to relatives and friends. I don't plan to sell them yet!"
Gu Chang explained with a smile.
The system is also your friend, so there should be nothing wrong with saying this.
"It's a new variety. When it's ripe, we must try it." The old men from the labor team nearby echoed.
"Don't worry, I specifically requested thirty trees, fearing that there wouldn't be enough to share. When the fruits are ripe, everyone will have a share. This is a benefit given to everyone in advance!"
Upon hearing Gu Chang's words, everyone in the labor team immediately became excited.
Xiao Chang is a really good boss. He always thinks of everyone when there is something good. He grows some cherries for himself to eat and everyone gets a share.
"Brothers, did you hear what Xiao Chang said? Work hard and plant the trees well. When they bear fruit next year, we can all have more to eat!" shouted an old man from the labor team.
"Of course, this fertilizer should be applied thickly!"
"What do you know, young man? If you apply too much fertilizer, the saplings will be burned!" an old man scolded.
"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.
When planting the saplings next, everyone was more careful and serious. They were all so enthusiastic that they didn't feel tired at all.
Gu Chang secretly sighed after watching this, it is true that people can be motivated to work only when they have a goal!
……
The cherry saplings were almost planted when Gu Chang received a call from Lao Zheng.
The chickens were brought here by a truck that was carrying fruit, so he was asked to go and receive them.
"Uncle, the fruit truck has arrived, and the chickens have been brought along as well. Leave a few people here to clean up the mess, and let the rest of the labor team handle the loading and unloading." Gu Chang said.
"So fast?" Gu Guoqing was a little surprised.
Xiao Chang is a kid who acts as fast as the wind. Once he makes up his mind about something, he will do it immediately and never procrastinates!
Thinking back on the series of things Gu Chang had accomplished after returning home in the past few months, Gu Guoqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Perhaps it is this kind of personality that enables Gu Chang to be successful in everything he does!
……
The chicks were placed in several large baskets and several people carried them directly to the cherry orchard.
The cherry tree has just been planted, so it’s a good time for the chicks to fertilize it and remove insects!
There were totally two hundred little chicks. They had grown quite a bit in size and the yellow fur on their bodies was almost gone.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." Each one is so cute!
The twenty ducklings and ten geese were all fluffy and, because they were still so young, they looked very similar.
For Gu Chang, a man who is lazy and doesn't know the difference between grains, it is really difficult to tell them apart!
"Uncle, which ones here are ducks and which ones are geese?" Gu Chang asked curiously.
"Haha..." The people in the surrounding labor team were all laughing.
"Listen, the quacking sound of a duckling is usually a sharp and high-pitched sound."
"The call of a gosling is usually a 'cluck' sound, which is low and hoarse." said an old man.
Gu Chang listened carefully for a while and felt that they were all just making random "wa wah" sounds and he couldn't tell what was going on at all.
"You can also observe their heads," Gu Guoqing continued.
"Ducklings have smaller, flatter heads, while geese have larger, rounder heads with bumps."
"Head..." Gu Chang muttered.
"Hey, I can really tell it!" Gu Chang said in surprise as he looked at the ten little geese with bulges on their heads.
"These chickens and ducks grow much faster than pigs. They will probably be big enough to lay eggs by next spring."
"By then, we can make a lot of money just by selling these eggs," said Gu Guoqing.
"Yes!" Gu Changguang was thinking about stewing native chicken with Gastrodia elata and almost forgot that these hens are best at laying eggs!
"Prepare the chicken coop so that the chicks and ducklings can roost in it at night." An old man nearby reminded.
"Yes, otherwise when these chicks grow up, they will lay eggs everywhere. If there is a nest, they will get used to it and lay eggs there," an old man agreed.
"You raise pigs here, so remember to make the chicken coop sturdy. Otherwise, the pigs will steal the eggs!" an uncle reminded.
"Pigs also steal eggs to eat?" Gu Chang asked in surprise.
"Of course, pigs are very smart!"
Gu Chang nodded. These were all the experiences shared by the elderly, so we should listen to them!
"Leave it to me. My skill in weaving chicken baskets is second to none in Shangouzi Village, but no one dares to claim to be first!" said an old man.
"That's right, Xiao Chang, just leave it to Uncle Li. I promise to make it straight and solid for you!" Gu Guoqing also said.
"That's great, Uncle Li, I'll pay you when I'm done!" Gu Chang said with a smile.
"That's not necessary. A few chicken coops are not worth much. When they lay eggs, just give me a few pounds of eggs!" Uncle Li said with a smile.
