The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 1020 The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-Law of the Blessed Nongmen (15)

Xu Yin strode back home with the stone on her shoulders, and after leveling it, began to rebuild the toilet.

She moved the solid wood toilet in the house to the latrine. A hole was cut at the bottom of the toilet to match the cross-section of the thick bamboo joint, and a thick bamboo joint was inserted inside. The bamboo joint was bent after being baked, and the other end into the cesspit.

A ditch leading to the cesspit was dug at the entrance of the pigsty, and the pig manure that was cleaned would flow into the cesspit along with the dirty water washed away.

Go back and chisel some flat small stone slabs to lay on the gutter.

In addition, she measured the size, dug another pit next to the cesspit, covered it with stone slabs, and specially used it to ferment kitchen waste.In order to facilitate the scooping of organic fertilizer, a skylight is opened on the slate, and it is covered when not in use.

For aesthetic considerations, she also transplanted a circle of azaleas, or rhododendrons, around the two fermentation tanks.

After watering the Spirit Lake twice, the rhododendrons, which were about to wither, bloomed again, which immediately raised her backyard to more than one level.

With a fermentation container, she poured crushed bone powder, fish scales and fish viscera, sun-dried rotten vegetables and weeds, eggshell peels, etc. into the fermentation tank through the slate skylight, and when the time came, she picked them out and fertilized them .

After finishing this work, the weeds in the field appeared again.

While pulling weeds, Xu Yin thought about how to weed efficiently?

She doesn't want to be tied up in the field by weeds every day.

"Auntie in the lobby—"

"Auntie in the lobby—"

Goudan ran to the field to look for her with a happy face:

"Auntie in the lobby, my hen has hatched chicks! Last time, didn't you say you wanted to raise a few chickens to peck the spicy caterpillars under the tree? My mother asked me to ask how many you want in total."

When Xu Yin heard the words, she immediately opened up a thought: Yes!How could she forget such a good partner as poultry?

Raise chickens under the forest and ducks in rice fields!
Ducks are raised in rice fields, effectively weeding and pest control, killing two birds with one stone!

arrangement!

Schedule now!

"Huh?" Goudan was dumbfounded, "Duck cub? But my family doesn't have any ducks!"

Xu Yin said: "I know, please help me ask who has raised ducks, and recently hatched ducklings, and give me a few. I want all your chickens."

"……oh oh."

Goudan went home in a daze.

In the evening, Xu Yin was harvesting mushrooms and herbs that had been drying for a day in the yard, when Goudanniang came over with a basket on her back.

"Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, I heard from Goudan that you want to raise ducks? The mother duck raised by my natal family just hatched a litter of duck cubs last month, and it has been more than 20 days since they hatched. A few are given to others, and the rest They are all here, you can see how many you want, and you can choose."

Dawa Village has a well-developed water system, and there are many duck-raising families. Generally, those who are close to the river or the lake will raise a few ducks. They will be released during the day to find food for themselves, and they will be driven back in the evening.

Although they are often lost in the middle, either they are caught and grilled by sneaky bastards, or they are taken away by other wild animals, but even if there are only one or two left in the new year, there will be an extra meat dish on the New Year's Eve dinner table, and they will be lucky to survive. The rate is high, and it can be sold to restaurants in the town to add winter clothes, quilts and other heating supplies to the family.

Although the winter here is not like the ice and snow for thousands of miles in the north, it is not comfortable to be wet and cold.

Xu Yin glanced at the fluffy yellow ducklings in the basket, huddled together to eat wild vegetables, roughly counted them, there were about a dozen of them, and immediately said: "I want them all."

Although Goudanniang was surprised, she didn't say much.

In my heart, I changed my view of Meng Jin's wife again: Can someone who is willing to raise so many poultry be a lazy person?Cui's mothers are really good at nonsense.

Goudanniang left the duck cubs, collected the money according to the market price, and went back.

She was running errands on behalf of her natal family, and she was embarrassed to make the decision to give Meng Jin's daughter-in-law cheaper, so she thought about charging her less money when she came back to send the chicken cubs.

Xu Yin fed water and food to these duck cubs, and naturally added some spirit lake water to the clear water to improve their survival rate and disease resistance.

The next day, put them into baskets and carry them to the field.

In the first few days, let the duck cubs get familiar with the two-acre paddy field. They peck grass, eat insects, and snails in the field, and she pulls out the taller weeds.

When the ducks are older, she will come back after delivering them, let them have fun in the field and look for food, and then pick them up in the evening.

There is a sense of sight of picking up the cubs to kindergarten.

Maybe it's because of her reputation for kicking a big wild boar to death with one foot, but no bum who doesn't have a good eye would dare to steal her duck.

Fifteen ducklings just soaked in the paddy fields and grew up day by day.

The strong daughter-in-law who pulled weeds in the next door saw her raising ducks in the rice field, and was very puzzled: "Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, why did you drive the ducks into the field? Are you afraid that they will eat the rice?"

Xu Yin: "It's still young, and I can't peck the millet. When it grows bigger, the rice fields will be drained, so I will drive them to the lake and pond."

"Then why not go to lakes and ponds now? There is only so much water in rice fields, and ducks still have to be raised in rivers or lakes."

Xu Yin said that raising ducks in rice fields has many benefits. Not only can ducks get rid of insects and weeds, but the excrement they pull can also fertilize the fields.

The strong daughter-in-law was dumbfounded: There are so many benefits to raising ducks in the fields?real or fake?

When I went back and told my family members, they were dubious.

Cui Dazhuang was especially skeptical: "Ducks are raised in rice fields, so they really don't know how to eat millet? If they even eat millet, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

"Meng Jin's daughter-in-law said that the ducks in her family are still young, and when they get bigger, they will rush to the lake and pond when they can eat rice ears."

"That's right, her family just raised duck cubs not long ago." Cui Dazhuang suddenly realized, "Our ducks can reach the ears of rice by raising their necks. If we drive them to the rice fields, isn't it like wolves entering the sheepfold? Or don't take risks." This is dangerous."

"I definitely won't take this risk this year. Wait until the millet is harvested and see the output of Meng Jin's family. If the output does not decrease, we will raise it in the same way next year, at least to save some labor. I don't think Meng Jin's wife has come to weed recently. "

Cui Dazhuang: "..."

The strong daughter-in-law suddenly thought of a possibility: "You said, Meng Jin's daughter-in-law didn't raise ducks because she was lazy and didn't pull weeds? Didn't her mother-in-law always say that she is lazy?"

"..."

Not impossible.

No matter what the reason is, everyone is waiting to see whether the benefits of raising ducks in rice fields really outweigh the disadvantages.

The downside, of course, is the reduction in rice production.

This one disadvantage outweighs countless advantages.

Xu Yin didn't know that there were villagers watching her rice field, so she put the ducks in the field and went home to do other things.

Two days ago, Goudanniang brought over chicken cubs that had hatched for ten days, and the duck cubs were too big to fit in a large basket, so she cut some bamboo and came back to build nests for the chickens and ducks.

Eight chicken cubs and fifteen duck cubs made a big nest and had to be separated.

Fortunately, the bamboo can be cut casually, and the branches can also be broken casually, so it is very convenient to obtain materials locally.
