Chapter 502
The deer house was built on a flat open space in a col, surrounded by hills and low hills, facing the sun against the wind.
The site is big enough and flat enough, and there is also a place where water comes out of the mountain depression. A pool of water was directly cleared out and inlaid with stones.
This is the only source of water in the deer farm, flowing water.
When the deer house is built, the pool will also be fenced in.
At that time, the deer on the mountain will have to come to the deer farm if they need to drink water, and they will be supplemented with corn to feed them, and then they will be brought back manually. Go out early and return late.
When it comes time to cut antlers and other things, it will be convenient to manage.
When Lu Lu arrived at the deer farm, he saw Zhang Shaofeng, Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo leading Big Nose, Zhou Fangjing and others with pickaxes to dig the foundation for the deer house. , The soil dug out is mixed with ice slag.
Several other women were peeling and charring the wood.
Seeing Lu Lu approaching on Chasing Feng, the three of them put down their tools one after another and greeted them.
"This matter, wait until the crops are planted, and then work on it. It's a bit thankless now. After a while, the temperature will be higher, and the permafrost will thaw before doing it. You can do a few days of work in a day."
When Lu Lu got close, he jumped off the back of Zhuifeng and walked towards the three of them: "Let's focus on collecting materials now. When the crops are planted, all the people will gather together and work together. That way we will get twice the result with half the effort."
"The materials for the deer shed and the fence are almost ready, including the materials for raising geese and building the fence, just waiting for the piles to be built! There is nothing to do right now..."
The three elders were scratching their heads, they only knew to follow Lu Lulu, but they didn't know what to do, and they were a little at a loss.
Lu Lu thought for a while, and said, "You guys follow me to the mountains, and I will teach you one thing today!"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Shaofeng couldn't help asking.
Lu Lu smiled, didn't say much, turned around and stepped forward to lead the way.
The three of them looked at each other and followed Lu Lu one after another.
After more than ten minutes, several people arrived at a big ditch in the mountain.
There are mountains on both sides of this big ditch, and the forests are the best vegetation in these barren hills contracted by Lu Lu. Most of them are tall trees, almost all of them are broad-leaved trees, plus dense shrubs, the inside is very humid, with a thick layer. Large layers of rotten leaves. .
Probably because of the thick rotting leaves accumulated in the ditch, and because there is a small ditch in the ditch, it is full of smelly and black mud, and many places will sink into it when you step on it. When it is hot in summer, the ditch There was also a rotten smell.
It is for this reason that this ravine is also called Lanni ditch.
Lu Lv led the three of them along the Banpo slope and went deep inwards. They reached the middle section, where the valley turned, and the soil was silted up, forming a fairly flat tidal flat, at least five to six hundred meters long. Full of withered weeds.
"It's here, just on this tidal flat, dig a pond!"
As Lu Lu said, he broke a branch from the side, walked around on the tidal flat, chose a low-lying location with a small pond, and drew a circle about [-] square meters: "I'm going to raise toads here. ! The pond dug is for hatching”
"Hatching pond? What do you mean?" Liang Kangbo was puzzled.
Lu Lu smiled and explained: "You all know that forest frogs grow legs slowly from tadpoles, degenerate their tails, and then leave the water to live in mountains. This process from egg to tadpole to long legs is called The metamorphosis is done in the water. This pool is prepared for their hatching and metamorphosis. Of course, this is also the place where they come back from the mountains after winter and spend the winter in the pool, which is also called the overwintering pool."
"These things are jumping around, who knows where they have gone, to be honest, I feel that raising forest frogs is not very reliable!" Zhang Shaofeng said with some worry: "Take painstaking efforts to get them out, and then go away forever." Come back, then at the end of the year, I'm afraid there will be nothing left."
As soon as Zhang Shaofeng said this, Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo also looked over.
It is not surprising to Lu Lu that Zhang Shaofeng can ask such a question.
Instead, he was happy because Zhang Shaofeng had this question.
This shows that Zhang Shaofeng has thought about these issues.
Similarly, others probably think so too.
"I believe that you all have the same question. Listen to me first. After I finish speaking, if you still feel that it is not enough, let's make another plan."
Lu Lu smiled at them and said, "First of all, I want to tell you a very interesting thing, that is, where the toads hatch and metamorphosis, and when the winter comes, they will return to this place for the winter."
Several people couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they heard this statement.
Is that right?
All of a sudden they couldn't be sure.
They only know that the forest frog will go up the mountain, and when it snows in winter, it will come down from the mountain again.As for whether it is the same place, who has nothing to pay attention to?With so many forest frogs, it is impossible to determine who is who, and it seems that it is not easy to prove.
But seeing what Lu Lu said was so sure, although the three of them felt weird, they didn't think it was a lie.
Lu Lu didn't care about them, and continued: "So, we must make this hatching pond big enough and deep enough. It freezes in winter, but there is still enough water below it to not be soaked by the ice. , to ensure that they enter the water to hibernate.
The water in this pond must have a water inlet and a drain, so that when the toad goes up the mountain, the water can be drained, exposed to the sun, and sterilized.As for the water source, the water in the small ditch next to it is enough.
I know you still don't believe that the toads will come back, but it doesn't matter, let's enclose this mountain as well so that the toads can't jump out, as long as they come back here in winter.Because this is the only place where they can spend the winter in this land. "
Hearing what Lu Lu said, they suddenly understood.
"How much land is this going to encircle?" Zhao Yongke asked.
"I looked at this ravine. It's about one kilometer. In addition, there are mountains on both sides, just like my meadow. Just follow the ridges on both sides and enclose this ravine. It doesn't need to be complicated. Let's Use gauze, sacks or something, just circle it, this thing is much faster than a fence.
There are still several places in the ravine that can be simply cut off to form good overwintering ponds and hatching ponds. I estimate that the surrounding mountainous areas are about a hundred hectares, which is enough to raise many forest frogs. "
There is no money at all for the mountain contracting of the forest farm.Not to mention now, even at the end of the 90s, in the Northeast, contracted forest land still has a policy of free for the first three years. After three years, you need to pay a certain fee to the forestry department, but one hectare is only two yuan for compensation. usage fee.In another 20 years, it will only reach about [-] yuan per hectare.
In the later stage, many people contracted two to three thousand hectares of forest land to raise Rana, and after a year, the investment was only a few thousand yuan.
Such a large area, simple management and protection, it is like picking up money.
A wood frog breeding site can have such a large area, which sounds exaggerated, but it is really cheap.
Lu Lu had plans for these places when he was looking at them.
Now that there is a manpower limit, Lu Lu can only think about building it first, and then expand the scale after it develops.
"Then how many forest frogs can be raised in this land?" Liang Kangbo asked after pondering for a while.
Lu Lu smiled slightly: "There are thousands of them!"
A few years ago, a Northeast forest frog could be sold for 70 cents, which is not a small amount even now. There was no arrest ban, and forest frogs were caught wildly. By the end of the [-]s, forest frogs The number of frogs is already very small.
If there is less, the price will rise accordingly.Now, it can reach eighty-nine cents each.
After 40 to [-] years, a forest frog has reached the level of ten yuan a piece.
This is also the reason why we only occasionally encounter forest frogs when we go up the mountain. Many people like to eat it, and most of them are for money. There are fewer and fewer left on the mountain.
By now, it is already in short supply.
At this time, forest frog breeding also began to enter the exploration stage.
Gradually formed a semi-artificial breeding model combining artificial management and wild stocking, which is the method Lu Lu is currently practicing.
The so-called man raises tadpoles and sky raises frogs is talking about this.
With such good conditions, Lu Lu also has the corresponding mature technology, so the starting point is much higher than others.
Isn't it easy to make money?
Of course, with the current external conditions and manpower constraints, he can't do things like raising toads in greenhouses. That would be a big gain, but the management and investment are also huge. Now he can only choose such a rough method.
Besides, with such good environmental conditions now, there is no need to make such a fuss, let's do it as simple as possible.
"There are so many, what do they eat?" Zhang Shaofeng was more worried about this question.
"Tadpoles, in the water, can eat anything, corn noodles, rotten meat, etc." Lu Lu said with a smile: "Go and catch a few nets of fish, chop them up and put them in to meet their needs. .”
"Then when the toad goes up the mountain, will there be so many bugs to eat?" Zhang Shaofeng continued to ask.
"There aren't that many bugs, so we can find ways to attract them. For example, if we set up more piles of rotten grass and trees on the mountain, we can attract bugs from other places!"
Lu Lu answered the three people's questions one by one.
It seems that all the worries are very simple when it comes to Lu Lu, and the previous doubts and worries are quickly dispelled.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the three of them were silent, Lu Lu asked with a smile, "Any more questions?"
"Gone!"
"I'm gone too!"
Both Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo nodded.
They still don't know how many thousands of toads Lu Lu said, but they all know that the price of this toad is really not low.Now I'm in this neighborhood, but I'm the only one, and I can't justify not making money.
"Where are we going to get so many wood frogs to raise?"
Zhang Shaofeng has not yet turned the corner.
"Of course I went to catch it! The ice and snow in the river melted, and the male dog started to go ashore, looking for a pond to live in, barking day by day, and after a while, the female leopard also came ashore, followed the sound to find it, and hugged it right When laying eggs, there will be a lot of eggs in the water bubbles or in the grass of small river ditches, we only need to find these eggs and put them in the hatching tank, and tadpoles will hatch."
In the Northeast, the male forest frog is called the male dog, and the female forest frog is called the female leopard.
Zhang Shaofeng suddenly realized: "Understood!"
Lu Lu smiled and said: "Since there is no problem, Brother Zhao, Brother Liang, I will leave the hatchery to you. It just so happens that the matter of gathering materials is almost busy now. If you are looking for people, just follow this ravine. Choose a suitable place and prepare some pools with a depth of not less than 1.5 meters, which can use this small ditch to exchange water. This must be done as soon as possible, and it will not be long before the forest frogs will lay eggs.
As for Brother Feng, follow me tomorrow, and I will teach you and Huazi how to use those farm machines. It won't be long before the land should be planted. There are many things to do!After you finish the pond, we will go into the mountains and find wood frog eggs to hatch. "
"it is good!"
The three nodded.
