"Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack …"
Li Yi, who had just finished his lunch, looked at the group of parrots who were shouting at him in a daze.
"Brother Yi, they are parrots." Li Chengqi stood beside him and looked at them.
"Brother, I know them. They are called big red-breasted parrots. They are about one foot tall and they are all adults. They are not easy to teach. Why did they come here? "
Li Yi looked at the big parrots who were shouting and asked the same question as Tong Cun.
The big red-breasted parrots were too cold to survive. Where did they come from?
"It was a little warm when it wasn't snowing. It snowed suddenly, so they should have been frozen to death. It happened that the people of Tong Village didn't close the door of their hut. "
Li Chengqi analyzed. The people of Drunken Immortal House had already told him how the big parrots came here.
Li Yi grabbed a handful of pine nuts and put them into the cages.
He made twelve cages. Judging by the color of the big red-breasted parrots' beaks, he could tell the gender of the cages.
There were exactly eighteen male and eight female cages. The twelve cages corresponded to the big cages. The parrots could choose their own cages.
One pair after another. Then seven pairs of parrots stayed in one cage. The other female parrot went into another cage.
The male parrot wanted to go into another person's cage, but it was driven out by the big parrot inside.
It circled around and finally decided to go into the female's cage. The female parrot also drove it out.
So the sixteen big parrots occupied nine cages. The remaining three cages were empty.
"Alas!" Li Yi sighed. He estimated that at least two parrots had died on the way.
Then there was a male and a female. The male parrot was not sad. Maybe it was because the female died early.
The other female parrot was sad, so it stayed in the cage by itself.
The big parrots began to eat the pine nuts.
Li Yi didn't open the pine nuts, so he needed to use pliers to hold them. The big parrots didn't care. They helped to eat with their beaks and claws.
If they could find the right place with their beaks, they would bite it directly. If they couldn't find the right place, they would use their claws to hold the pine nuts and adjust the position.
Li Yi thought for a while and adjusted the position of the two big red-breasted parrots' cages.
The two cages were placed next to each other, so that the two large parrots would be closer to each other when eating.
"We can't keep them in a cage. We need a big cage and a small nest. We need to seal the surroundings and leave a hole for them to enter and exit."
Li Yi had never raised a Big Red-breasted Parrot, nor had he raised any other parrot.
But he could check it out. Once he found the information, he would act accordingly.
Making a box and a large cage was a small task. Throwing it into the woodworking workshop, it took less than an hour for a cage as big as two houses to be made.
Inside, there were horizontal bars that rose and fell, as well as vertical grooves and protrusions that looked like rock climbing.
The big red-breasted parrot liked to climb things with its claws and beak. When it flew, it was said that it had a low altitude and slow speed.
Li Yi took a look and said, "We still have to make small cages. Each small cage will contain a nest, and the small cage will be linked to the big cage.
The small cage should also have a hole so that the parrots can get into the big cage. They belong to the same group. "
Before dinner, the small cage was also made. He put the nest in it, and put the food trough and the water trough in the small cage.
There was floor heating under the big cage, and the temperature in the cage was maintained at about 15 or 16 degrees.
"Okay, that's it. Feed them something delicious. Walnuts, rice, millet, wheat, greenhouse cherries, pine nuts, pears, chestnuts."
Li Yi watched the big parrots in the cage get used to their new home and go to the canteen for dinner.
Li Chengqi turned his head to look at the parrots as he walked, and asked, "Can they be released after eating something good?"
"If they are not trained by humans, they need a bigger place. There are cages outside, and fishing nets are also OK.
Then let them go out and fly. Because it's cold outside, they will come back after a while.
Once they got used to it, he would release a female or male into the wild and let them fly as they pleased.
It's cold and the other half is at home, so the one that flies out alone will come back. If it happens too many times, let them both out. "
Li Yi didn't care about the cost of a large cage. Now the big ones were not easy to teach, and there would be smaller ones in the future.
Li Chengqi understood. "When they are released in winter, they will be used to having a home in spring. The main thing is that the food at home is delicious, so we can open the cage and let them fly freely."
"In fact, it doesn't matter if they fly away. The big ones will fly away, and the small ones will stay. They will breed by next spring.
It's cold outside, and the nest is warm, so they will lay eggs and then hatch. When the little birds come out, they can't leave even if they want to. "
Li Yi had a plan. The big ones had the ability to survive in the wild, so they could fly away if they wanted to.
The small ones grew up in one place. If they wanted to migrate, they had to make sure that the food in other places was more suitable.
Raising them in batches, there would always be some that could stay.
Even if they flew away for a long time, maybe they would remember another place where they could eat pine nuts and come back.
Li Chengqi said longingly, "In the future, a large group of beautiful parrots will fly around in the sky. It's beautiful to look at."
"Pigeons are the easiest to raise. Put them outside and everyone can feed them with bread crumbs. It will be harmonious."
Li Yi had fed pigeons in many plazas, and he had also fed seagulls in places in Oceania where there were currently no people.
He liked that feeling, but it was more tiring to clean up feces.
For dinner, the two of them ate dumplings, drank a bunch of white wine, and two side dishes.
The palace maids and eunuchs ate the hot pot with a layer of red oil. After eating, they couldn't bear to throw away the red oil and continued to use it.
Li Yi had no choice. Saliva oil was not good, but with the current conditions, the villagers wouldn't accept throwing away so much oil and seasonings after a meal.
After eating the soup of the hot pot, the villagers would use it to add noodles, rice noodles, and rice noodles, and then eat it all together with the soup.
"This year's winter is much better than last year. I don't know about other places, but the people in the capital office are buying more things."
Li Chengqi had the Yi Alliance and the Workers Alliance, and it was directly reflected in the orders.
In winter, the Yi Alliance sold a lot of clothes, and the Workers Alliance took the orders and went to work.
They changed the furniture, fixed the chimney, and made jewelry …
If they didn't have money, they wouldn't have such a large quantity. The people rushed to add things for themselves and their homes before the new year.
"The faster the circulation of goods, the richer the people are. Otherwise, many things can't be sold and will rot. Those who need it will buy at a high price, but they can't afford it. "
As Li Yi spoke, he recalled his situation at that time.
In the past, everyone was poor. Later, the country worked hard to build roads and all kinds of roads.
Then, suddenly, logistics companies came out, followed by online sales platforms.
They could buy anything they wanted. They changed the sales model and forced the shops to transform.
Some shops became inventory and sales points for online goods, and some were upgraded.
Now, they still needed it, even if there was no Internet.
Merchants would know what goods to ship in and out.
Li Chengqi didn't know about the Internet, but he felt the benefits of road building.
"This winter, we will ship frozen seafood from Dengzhou. There will probably be merchants who want to learn from us."
"If they want to learn, they have to organize people to fish. The local fishermen have a better life. We are all naval forces, so we can only use the locals when processing."
Li Yi didn't care if others learned from him. The road from Dengzhou to Luoyang had to be properly built.
