Chapter 1020 Nongmen blessed girl's lazy and bad sister-in-law (15)

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

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 out 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 Linghu twice, the rhododendrons that were about to wither started to bloom again, which 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.

  Xu Yin was pulling weeds while thinking about how to weed efficiently?

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

   "Aunt in the lobby—"

   "Aunt in the lobby—"

  Goudan happily ran to the field to find her:

   "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."

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

  Raise chickens in the forest and ducks in the rice fields!

  Ducks are raised in rice fields, effectively weeding and pest control, killing two birds with one stone!

arrange!

   Arrange now!

   "Huh?" Goudan was dumbfounded, "Duck cubs? But my family doesn't have 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 collecting mushrooms and herbs that had been drying for a day in the yard, when Goudanniang came over with a basket on her back.

"Meng Jin's daughter-in-law, I heard Goudan said that you want to raise ducks? The mother duck raised by my natal family just hatched a litter of ducklings last month, and it has been more than 20 days since they hatched. I gave some of them to others, and the rest All of them are here, you can see how many you want, and you can choose."

  The water system in Dawa Village is well-developed, 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 roasted by sneaky bastards, or they are taken away by other wild animals, but even if there are only one or two left after raising them for the New Year, there will be an extra meat dish on the New Year's Eve dinner table, and they are 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-covered thousands of miles and the snow drifting 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 ten of them, and immediately said: "I want them all."

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

   In my heart, I changed my mind about Meng Jin's daughter-in-law again: Can someone who is willing to raise so many poultry be a lazy person? Cui's mothers are really good at nonsense.

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

  She was running errands on behalf of her mother's 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. Naturally, some spirit lake water was added 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 used to 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 déjà vu of picking up a child to kindergarten.

   Maybe it's her reputation for kicking a big wild boar to death, but no **** with no eyesight would dare to steal her duck.

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

  The strong daughter-in-law who pulled weeds in the field next door was very puzzled when she saw that she was raising ducks in the rice field: "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 also drain, so I will drive them to lakes and ponds."

   "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 and ponds."

  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 particularly 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 that Meng Jin's daughter-in-law raised ducks because she was lazy and didn't pull weeds? Didn't her mother-in-law always say that she is lazy?"

   "..."

   It's 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 disadvantage is of course that the rice production has been reduced.

  This one disadvantage is worth countless benefits.

  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, the nest was not too small, and they 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.

   Starlight does not ask passers-by, time pays off!

   Congratulations to the college entrance examination students!

   678 admit it!

   Take your expectations and march towards your favorite university!
