Chapter 106 (continued)

Even if they are not allowed to Shi Wen, pigs, cattle, and sheep still like to come and steal food.

In particular, pastures numbered one, two, and three all have grass planted on them. Now, no matter which pasture the livestock are driven to, they can't avoid being stolen and eaten, which is giving Shi Wen a headache.

Sheep and pigs are a little better; once they're eaten, they're eaten, since they're all our own livestock, Shi Wen doesn't feel too bad about it.

Cattle and sheep cannot eat alfalfa. Both have rumen, and alfalfa contains a large amount of saponins. When cattle and sheep eat alfalfa, it will produce a lot of foam in their rumen, which can easily lead to bloat.

Therefore, their food intake must be controlled.

The cattle and sheep were too tempted, Shi Wen had to have the dogs intensify their efforts to drive them away.

The dogs have been exhausted these past few days.

I often think about giving them some nourishment Shi Wen.

Shi Wen called Baoye A Sai to inquire about the locusts on his ranch.

Baoye A Sai, understanding the unspoken meaning, said, "It's almost done. You need geese and chickens over there, right? I'll send them back to you."

Shi Wen laughed and said, "Yes, hurry up and bring them back. They've eaten so many locusts, they need to come back and eat some hay. Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't eat enough hay and the quality won't meet the standards."

Baoye A Sai laughed heartily, "No problem, I'll send it to you tomorrow."

Baoye A Sai acted immediately, and the next day he actually delivered the goose and chicken to them.

In addition to geese and chickens, Baoye A Sai also gave a bunch of horse sausages and horse meat products, all of which are local specialties.

Shi Wen reciprocate with cheese.

Baoye A Sai: "Your cheese smells amazing, much better than any other cheese I've ever tasted."

Shi Wen, "That's because our cheese is made from milk and goat milk from our own ranch, and it's aged in a cool, dry room. The taste is definitely better than what you can buy outside. It's for our own consumption, so the ingredients are far superior to those of other products."

Baoye A Sai: "You have so many good things here. Do you still have tomatoes and vegetables? Could you pick some for me?"

Shi Wen clicked his tongue and said, "You really don't hold back at all."

Baoye A Sai: "Why be so polite with yourselves, we're brothers?"

Shi Wen, "Then you can pick them yourself. I'll go check on our chickens and geese."

They just put the geese and chickens in the poultry house. The computer at the entrance of the poultry house scanned the leg bands on the geese and chickens, and the number was not reduced. Now he mainly wants to check on the condition of the geese and chickens.

Having been let out for so long, he really missed his own geese and chickens.

Shi Wen walked into the poultry shed, the geese and chickens there barely recognized him. Upon seeing the stranger, they flapped their wings and made a threatening gesture.

He walked into one of the poultry sheds, calmly grabbed a goose by the neck, and quickly pinned it to the side.

The goose ate locusts for more than a month, and its feathers became shiny because of the extra oil secreted.

He reached out and pinched the goose's back and chest, feeling the thick muscles inside.

Letting the geese out to eat locusts this time has indeed had a very good fattening effect; in just one month, they have gained at least three or four pounds.

They sent their geese and chickens to Baoye A Sai's ranch without charging Baoye A Sai any rental fees, but they also didn't provide any food or fodder.

Lately, Baoye A Sai has been helping to raise the geese and chickens with hay and grain, which is considered a rental fee.

It's clear that the feed provided by Baoye A Sai must be of good quality; otherwise, the geese and chickens wouldn't be so robust and plump, each one looking incredibly succulent.

These days, Baoye A Sai didn't keep any of the eggs laid by the goose to himself; he sent them all over to him.

The eggs are in good condition; they are mostly fertilized eggs.

While the weather is still warm, they can hatch another batch of geese.

The pigeons' eggs can also be incubated together, allowing them to be cared for in a unified way.

Speaking of which, Shi Wen's pigeons are quite well-raised, laying a lot of eggs.

They just haven't had time to put them away, so they've been keeping them in the refrigerator.

We'll try incubating any live pigeon eggs later; the inactive ones will serve as food.

When Baoye A Sai returned after picking vegetables, Shi Wen was still in the poultry shed. He came over to him and asked, "How are things? We've done a good job raising your geese and chickens, haven't we?"

"That's excellent," Shi Wen affirmed. "We'll lend it to you again next time you need it."

Baoye A Sai: "That's good. It would be even better if you could sell us a batch of goslings."

Shi Wen, "I don't have time this year. I'll see if we can get larger incubation facilities next year and incubate a batch all at once."

Baoye A Sai: "Then I'll join the queue first. If you're selling goslings, let me know, and I'll come and buy a few hundred."

The two easily reached a business agreement.

Shi Wen asked Baoye A Sai to have dinner at his house, Baoye A Sai waved his hand and declined. "I'm going abroad tomorrow to participate in a horse race, and I have to go back this afternoon to prepare. You can come to my house for dinner next time I come back."

Shi Wen: "Horse racing?"

Baoye A Sai: "Yeah, the Summer Tournament. Are you interested? If you are, you can come and take a look."

Shi Wen, "It's too late this time. Let me gather more information, and if I'm interested, I'll ask you to introduce me to something next time so I can get started."

Baoye A Sai: "Then take a closer look. Shi Suo and Yan Shi are really talented. If you have the chance, take them out to compete, and you'll definitely win big."

Shi Wen laughed, "If that's how you put it, then I definitely can't miss it. Next time for sure."

After the geese and chickens returned, Shi Wen kept them in the poultry house for two days to let them get used to the home environment and pasture before letting them out.

The food at Baoye A Sai's place is really good; the geese and chickens are all quite fat.

Shi Wen often wonder if we should cut off their grains and let them eat hay instead.

Yan Kexing said, "No need for now. Just adjust the ratio of their food. With their size, feeding them some hay will make them taste even better."
