Self-clothing and adequate food and clothing through crossing

Time flies by, and before you know it, it is mid-May, and it has been 20 days since the start of digging the drainage ditches. In these 20 days, the drainage ditches in the paddy fields where the tribe grows rice have basically been dug. Almost done in a few days.Shang Chen also got something out of going out with everyone. He found a lot of seasonings, such as cloves, pepper, wild cumin, ginger and garlic. Although there are no fruits yet, Shang Chen is very excited. Are you worried about not having anything to eat?

There are so many people in the tribe, so we have to dig some of them and transplant them next year. The closer to the tribe, the better. Now it is still a bit far away, which is inconvenient.Of course, I also encountered a lot of longan trees. The trees have just begun to bear fruit. It is estimated that there will be a lot of longan eaten in July and August. Shang Chen plans to dry some of them to make longan.Speaking of it, Shang Chen didn’t know that longan was actually longan at the beginning. Later, after he started to learn how to cook, he saw the appearance of longan and realized that the so-called longan was nothing more than dried fruit made from fresh longan after shelling and pitting. , but changed a name, but you can not deny its efficacy, whether it is longan or longan are very welcome.

In May, the land is full of prosperous scenes of flowers, red willows and greenery, and the Flying Tigers also ushered in the first colorful year. Looking up, all around are the fruits of everyone's hard work.Amidst the harmonious voices, some hens in the tribe finally couldn't hold back and began to want to have chickens. They kept screaming "cluck..." not only had a bad temper, but also couldn't lay a single egg. Squatting in the chicken coop and not coming out.

At first, no one thought much about it, thinking it was the lack of food, but the children caught a lot of worms and green vegetable leaves for the hens to eat. They ate them, but they still didn’t lay eggs. It’s been seven days, and it’s still the same. , everyone has this situation.Shang Chen rubbed his head and frowned, staring at the chicken coop, what is the reason?It doesn't look like your hands are sick, what are you doing squatting in the nest?Squatting in the nest... Shang Chen was afraid of his forehead, he was so stupid, he didn't know the obvious meaning, it was because other hens wanted to hug their nests and give birth to chickens, so of course they wouldn't lay eggs.So Shang Chen hurriedly selected twenty fresh chicken and duck eggs from the drawer of the utility room next to the kitchen and put them in the hen's nest to satisfy the hen's desire to have babies.

If you want to ask why there are duck eggs, then Shang Chen will say, no matter what kind of eggs, they are called eggs anyway, and besides, the hen doesn’t know that she is still working for the ducks, as long as there are eggs under her buttocks The hen will start to concentrate on the eggs.Although Shang Chen felt that after the chicken and duck eggs came out, the hen might recognize the ducks that looked different, and might peck the ducks with her beak, but Shang Chen had already thought about it. As soon as that day comes, it’s okay to raise them separately, and the ducklings can be raised for a few days before they can be launched into the water.

Fortunately, this season, a few days ago, everyone picked up a lot of eggs in several mountain depressions, plus a small number of eggs laid by chickens and ducks raised by the tribe, each family has more or less a little stock Now, there are still a few chicks that come out of eggs. As for food, let's say, aren't there turtle eggs?In short, regardless of whether it is a chicken or a duck, eggs must be produced. In this way, the number of chickens and ducks in each family can gradually increase. One batch at a time, there is no fear of running out of eggs. Anyway, there are grasses and ducks everywhere. Bugs, the children are very obedient, and there is no need to worry about not being able to raise them. This is a stable income, and the more the better.

"What? Is it true that the hen wants eggs? This is a good thing, hehehe... just put the eggs and duck eggs under the chicken's buttocks?" A group of housewives surrounded Shang Chen and asked in surprise.

"Well, that's it for the time being. The chicks will slowly crawl out after 20 days, but some eggs can't give birth to chicks, and you won't be able to see that until then. What you have to do now is to give the hen a quick feed. Lay some eggs for the chickens." Shang Chen himself has never done this for the hens, he only saw his mother do it before, and he always thought it was fun when he was a child, and every time the chicks would come out, they would lie on the edge of the chicken coop and stare.

"Oh... I see, it's so simple to say, just give a few eggs, and the other hens will figure it out, right?" Jin Xia and Qiu Dong also said happily.

"Well, basically we don't need to do anything, the most is to catch the hen once in a while to eat something and drink a little water. By the way, after 20 days, the chicks inside the eggs will peck open the egg shell with their mouths and then slow down. Climb out slowly, you must not break the eggshell on your own initiative, and take the chick out, otherwise the chick will die if it is not handled well, usually the chick will come out by itself when the time comes , no external help is needed, remember?"

Shang Chen suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he saw a little chick stuck in the shell and couldn't get out, so he kindly wanted to help, but fortunately, the fierce hen pecked his finger and there was no harm. He taught himself a hard lesson, not to mention if he could help, what if the hen accidentally pecked his eyes?Since then, my parents never let me get close to the chicken coop, for fear of making a big mistake.

"That's it, then we promise not to be a disservice, ha ha." Sure enough, everyone felt a little bit concerned when they heard it, and Shang Chen really guessed it, thinking that it would be fine to just peel off the shell when the time comes, chicken boy So what if I don't have the strength?

"One more thing, the brooding hen is very fierce, so be careful, don't let the hen peck you, no matter how docile the hen is usually, the hen will not be soft-hearted for her own children at that time." Shang Chen is serious to remind everyone.

"Ah... I see. If you say it like this, we have to warn the children when we go back. After all, we don't take care of it now, and the children are usually taking care of it."

"That's right, that hen's mouth is really powerful."

"In the end, this is the first time we are trying to do it, so please don't put too much eggs for the time being, to avoid wasting eggs. When you have experience in the future, you can slowly lay more eggs. If you have any questions, just ask me." Thinking of this, even I am doing this job for the first time, so I can’t put too many foolishly, twenty seems a bit too much in my house, after all, there are not many eggs at home, so I can only say temporarily It’s just food, it’s good to waste one less, come on, while it’s still early, just go back and get a few out.

"Cluck..." Shang Chen squatted by the side of the hen's nest and stared at the hen with big eyes. He was really protecting the calf. It was only this morning, so he didn't let himself get close to the hen's nest. No, it was an egg, and he almost let him The ferocious hen was pecked at his hand, worry, Shang Chen stared at the hen with a sad face, the hen stared fiercely at Shang Chen with mung bean-sized eyes, the chicken feathers all over her body tightly covered the eggs laid by her buttocks, Hao refused to give in, and this tug-of-war continued until Long Che came back.

"Hehe... baby, what are you doing here? Who has bigger eyes than a hen?" Long Che carried the processed prey in the utility room of the kitchen, and then took a few pots to prepare I went to the river to clean the internal organs, but when I passed the chicken shed, I saw Shang Chen squatting motionless beside the chicken coop with his waist pinched, and the hens in the hen coop were screaming non-stop.No matter how you look at this situation, it looks like a quarrel, but this person, a chicken, a different race, and a language barrier, how can they be arguing?I always say that I'm already married and I'm considered an adult, but in this situation... darling, how can you be so cute?It doesn't even make me want to go away.

"Hmm... Long Che, you're back, I'm going to deal with the prey right now, and I'll come back later to clean you up." Then, Shang Chen turned his head and gave the hen a cold look, and then followed Long Che go to the river.

"Hehe...how did this hen offend you? Huh? Do you want me to take a look?" Long Che also turned his head to look at the hen. This is not the hen that has been screaming for a few days. ?

"Oh, it's not a big deal. Isn't this hen crowing all the time? Today, I suddenly thought that it wanted to lay eggs, so I put twenty eggs and let it work hard. I don’t think I have any experience, so I just want to take out a few to prevent waste, you see, I’m not allowed to take them, am I worried?”

"That's it? Then don't take it out. It's just a few eggs. Our family doesn't lack these eggs. I'll go out for a walk in a couple of days. Let the eggs in the chicken coop be ready. I have seen eggs of chickens and ducks in the wild, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, except that the chicks are easy to die, but as long as you are careful, not a few of them will die, just let us accumulate experience, maybe there will be intentional Unexpected surprises, you think, your luck has always been good, so relax."

Long Che knew that Shang Chen was feeling sorry for a few eggs. He had always been very economical. Although his family was never short of food, Shang Chen said that many families in the tribe did not have much food, and those immature children , It’s always good to save a little, like last winter season, if not all the people who have fallen are very frugal and cherish food, if they don’t keep it all, they won’t be able to survive in the end?

Coming here from such an advanced and affluent era, Shang Chen has never shown any incompatibility or spoiled temperament, no matter it is food, housing or use, Shang Chen has never really despised anything.The first thing he does is always to find ways to improve the situation, to make the best use of everything here, and to let nothing go.

When there is something delicious and delicious, he has never enjoyed it alone, and always calls the big guys over to eat together, even his own appetite has been picky by his supplies, but Shang Chen never eats it alone. Not picky eaters, eat anything.I have always known how precious this calmness and heart are, that's why my ancestors appreciated him so much. During that sacrifice, I discovered this, but Shang Chen didn't take it to heart, that's all, pure and simple Lovely Shang Chen, how can I tell myself not to love him!
