The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 51 Digging for Earthworms

feeding?

Bai Meixi is enjoying herself, she is intoxicated in her little achievements.But she seems to have overlooked a problem, that is, what the hens eat!She locked it in a cage and had nothing to eat, so it must have starved to death!In Bai Meixi's impression, chickens are quite edible, you have to feed them three times a day, if they don't taste good, they won't lay eggs for you.

But she can't feed the chickens with the crops she has worked so hard to grow!Isn't this worth the candle?

Bai Meixi suddenly remembered the picture of a hen eating worms, yes!She can catch some bugs and feed them to the chickens!
But what kind of bug?Anchovy, centipede, or something else?This kind of thing is frightening to death, but she has never had a cold for such small animals since she was a child.

correct!Earthworms!Earthworms can!This thing is not so scary, if we can get some earthworms at that time, it will not only give the chicken food to eat, but also give her space to loosen the soil. Isn't this a two-way thing?
Thinking like this, Bai Meixi has already made a decision in her heart.It's nighttime now, let's get a good night's sleep for the time being, and go find food for the chickens when I have time during the day.

There was a short break at noon, so Bai Meixi just went to investigate the surrounding area to see if there was any place suitable for digging earthworms.There is a small river ditch not far behind the factory, and beside the ditch is an empty grass field, where the soil is kept moist all year round.Moreover, there are usually not many people coming here, and the leaves and dry branches that fell from the nearby woods are just scattered here.

Bai Meixi knew that earthworms like a humid environment with a lot of humus, so she found a wooden stick and threw a hole to have a look.Oh my god, there are a few earthworms writhing their soft bodies in the moist soil, especially in such an environment, Bai Meixi is a little terrified looking at them.

All right!Now the destination is determined!It is estimated that it is almost time to go to work, and now her main task is to return to her post and work hard.

After get off work in the afternoon, after eating in the cafeteria, Bai Meixi found a few small iron cans, and a sickle full of rust, took the tools, and went directly to her destination.

When I came to the place where I found it at noon, I found a relatively strong wooden stick, and pushed away some rotten dead branches and leaves on the surface. A strong smell of rotten wood came to my nose, which was very pungent. .

She squatted down and started throwing the pit with a sickle.The ground is very wet, and it doesn't take much effort to throw it.A few earthworms wriggled their bodies in the moist soil, trying to burrow into the soil again. Bai Meixi gently pinched the earthworms and put them into the tin can.

Although it is relatively humid, there are not as many earthworms as she imagined. She originally thought that there would be piles and piles of earthworms in this kind of place. If this is the case, she will really save a lot of trouble.

The hole couldn't be dug too much, so she filled the hole with the soil she dug out, and continued digging in another place.

After squatting for a long time, I felt numbness in my legs, and my waist was a little sore.Bai Meixi stood up, stretched herself, made herself comfortable, and then changed places to continue digging.

And not far away, Bai Meixi saw some dug holes, presumably someone should have dug earthworms here.Many children will come to this small ditch to fish, and earthworms are the best bait.No wonder there are not as many earthworms here as she imagined!It turned out that someone got there first!

Looking at the few earthworms in the iron pot, she probably didn't have enough for the hen to fill her stomach, so she had to keep digging.

The sun sets in the west, and a brilliant sunset glows on the horizon.Bai Meixi couldn't help but be attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her. It seemed that she hadn't calmed down to look at the sunset or the morning sun for a long time.They say the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.

It gets dark early in winter, and Bai Meixi has to hurry up and continue digging, otherwise she won't be able to see anything when it gets dark.Especially this kind of place where few people come, I am afraid that at night, it will give people a kind of eerie feeling, plus the strong smell of rotten wood here, I feel a little scared when I think about it, don’t be in it at that time. If some unknown bugs come out, the loss outweighs the gain.

Bai Meixi continued to squat down, speeding up her hands.

The sky gradually became dark, and only the moon shone weakly in the sky.Bai Meixi took a look at the earthworms in the tin pot by the moonlight, it was probably half filled, and it should be enough for the hens to eat!Let's settle this meal first, and continue digging earthworms tomorrow.

Bai Meixi took the tools she brought and went straight back to her dormitory.

He changed the dirty clothes on his body, took the dug earthworms with him, and entered the space with his mind, but the hen obediently stayed in the cage without moving.

Bai Meixi opened the lid of the iron jar, and dumped all the earthworms he had dug on the ground. Some earthworms began to struggle to get into the soil, and their bodies twisted very violently, as if the aura in the space gave them vitality.I just don't know if the aura here can make the earthworms reproduce more?

Bai Meixi walked to the chicken cage, untied the hemp rope, grabbed her mother by the wings, and lifted it out of the cage.

The hen can't move around from the cage. Even though she is very honest, she starts to have fun as soon as she comes out.Xu Shi was also hungry, so he flew over to the potato seedlings.Bai Meixi saw something bad, went up and blasted it away.

After a few rounds, the hen couldn't get close to the potato seedlings, so she started to peck back and forth on the ground, as if searching for something, and finally stood still at the place of the earthworm, pecked with her mouth, and began to enjoy the delicious food.

Chicken can also be considered a carnivore!All kinds of bugs are rich and beautiful things for them.

Seeing the hen eat so deliciously, Bai Meixi felt very happy.When it's time to raise it fat and lay more eggs, she just waits to collect the eggs.

Um!If I bring another rooster at that time, maybe I can hatch chicks.Imagining the yard full of golden chickens foraging behind the hen, such a farm life made her feel very satisfied.

The hen seemed to be full, and began to take a leisurely walk on the land of the space, stretching its flexible neck from time to time, and making a contented "cuckoo" cry from its throat.

Bai Meixi has long practiced the ability to catch chickens, but this time he caught the hen very easily.Before she was sure whether her mother would still spoil her potato seedlings, she absolutely couldn't let the hen be so leisurely in the space.Therefore, for the time being, we still have to put it in a cage first, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
After everything was tidied up here, Bai Meixi returned to her room with peace of mind.
