Chapter 26 The Wool

During the day, Shen Yunfang's firewood was almost full, so she stopped running to the pine forest, but sat next to the sheep, and began to comb the hair of each sheep earnestly, and at the same time brush the wool that fell off accidentally. collect it up...

Hey, she doesn't have many cotton tickets in her hand, so she probably won't have much left to make a thick cotton coat.She knows that the winter in Northeast China is very cold, if it is not done properly, her hands and feet will be damaged by frostbite, and she heard that as long as she has frostbite, it will not be easy to heal, so she really wants to make a pair of gloves and insoles for herself. She heard that wool products are very warm ...

Shen Yunfang looked at the goat standing in front of her, and thought that she had to take advantage of this convenience, and someone would understand her.

This is what Ergouzi and the three who had just climbed up the hillside saw.

"Do you think she is sick, maybe she is picking lice for that sheep?" Er Gouzi whispered while looking in Shen Yunfang's direction.

"What are you thinking? Are there lice on the sheep? If you want to pick them, they are also fleas." Zhu Zi corrected his little friend's mistakes very seriously, ignorance is too scary.

"Oh, don't care if it's lice or fleas, don't you think she's sick." Er Gouzi urgently needs affirmation.

Indeed, looking at it suddenly, Shen Yunfang's actions are quite puzzling.A skinny girl sat alone on the grass, surrounded by a flock of sheep, and then she stretched out her hand to smooth the wool of the sheep in front of her with a very peaceful expression. That gentle look made people panic.

Several children shivered at the same time.

"Let's go quickly, my mother said, she lives alone, after a long time, there must be something wrong with it." Gou Sheng pointed to his head, indicating that the woman had a mental illness.

"Well, I also think that you don't know that my father insisted on me going to the production team to clean the cowshed that day. Guess what I saw?" Er Gouzi asked mysteriously.

The other two shook their heads and asked, "What did you see?"

"That woman is actually cleaning the cowshed. Do you think she is sick?" If she is not sick, can she have enough food and help others? He doesn't know her well.

"Yes." Shuan Zi agreed.

"Why don't we go to the mountains to collect firewood today." Gou Sheng was timid, and after hearing what the two friends said, he didn't dare to go up the mountain. If the woman fell ill after they went up the mountain, it would be terrible to block the mountain road. What to do.

"Tch, you're just so timid." Er Gouzi is not afraid, such a thin woman, let alone one, he can beat down even a bunch of them, "Come with me, if she dares to find Let's trouble, see if I don't beat her to the ground."

After finishing speaking, he carried the scythe on his shoulders, and walked past Shen Yunfang with arrogance and arrogance, and finally gave Shen Yunfang a sideways glance.

Zhuzhu and Gousheng, who were left behind, did not dare to delay, and followed Shen Yunfang's attention, running forward and backward.

Shen Yunfang stopped the movements of her hands, watched these furry children pass by her, and sighed in her heart, the children were only about ten years old, and carrying the scythe seemed to be playing. From this point of view, she really deserved it. Eat more food, it is estimated that if you gain weight, you will be more energetic.

Seeing that the person was gone, she started to move her hands again, and began to pluck the wool down. Of course, she couldn't make the mistake of Aunt Baiyun's plucking. She took turns plucking the wool from the dozen or so sheep. .

"Good boy, it doesn't hurt or it doesn't hurt, my sister rubs it." Shen Yunfang comforted the goat that was hurt by her with her hands.

No way, she found that the wool on the surface of the goat was very rough and dirty, and looking at the white and soft wool hidden underneath, it must have been carefully selected.

However, it may be that Shen Yunfang's technique is not very professional, these sheep are not very willing to cooperate, and they want to run away after being squeezed by her twice, so what is she doing, so she is soothing while squeezing, which may seem a little weird to others.

After returning home in the evening, after making some simple meals, I went to Westinghouse to get busy again.

First, she rekindled the fire in the kang cave, and then took a ladle of water and poured the leeks on the ground. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that the leeks seemed to grow a little after a day.

After observing the leeks, she went directly to the east room and brought over the small jar that she always brought with her and took care of it. Her little cuties also got this room to keep warm, otherwise they would not like to have babies.

Raising earthworms at home requires proper housework. Shen Yunfang has been learning about it for a day at her own home, but she can't find a suitable one. In the end, she had no choice but to move an unused wide-mouth pickle jar from the cellar to deal with it first.

Although this kind of jar has a wide mouth, it is also a bit deep for raising earthworms, which is not conducive to the cultivation of earthworms.She thought about dealing with it first, and when she had the conditions, she was nailing a few wooden boxes and replacing them.

First, I took some soil from the space and spread it under the jar, and then thought that there was dried cow dung outside, so I hurriedly got up and went to the yard to pick up some, and I didn’t mind burying it directly, and went back to the house, put the cow dung Put it directly into the jar, and then found a thick wooden stick, just like pounding garlic, and smashed the cow dung inside.

Seeing that it was almost broken, I vigorously stirred it with a wooden stick to fully mix the cow dung with the soil inside.

Put down the wooden stick in your hand, pick up the small jar next to it that originally held the earthworms, turn it upside down, and pour all the soil and earthworms into the big jar.

Earthworms are terrestrial invertebrates that live in the soil and come out at night. They feed on livestock manure and organic waste, swallowing them together with soil, and also eating plant stems, leaves and debris.In short, it is a very easy to raise and very useful animal.

The important point is that earthworms have a particularly strong reproductive ability.

Earthworms are hermaphrodites.In nature, earthworms usually reproduce from August to October, but if conditions permit, that is, if the soil temperature and humidity are suitable, and the bait is sufficient, they will reproduce all year round.

When earthworms grow up, they will rub their ears together, and then there will be crystallization of love. Generally, they will start laying eggs in seven or eight days, and each egg the size of a grain of rice can hatch three to five small earthworms.

The most admirable thing is that an adult earthworm can lay eggs continuously after finding a husband, and these eggs can hatch in about half a month, and then after more than 40 days, the little earthworm They grow up again, and then the small earthworms start to lay eggs again, and so on, the first few earthworms, under careful cultivation, will give birth to tens of thousands of earthworms after a few months.

In her previous life, her parents started a farm by raising earthworms as feed. Back then, they not only raised chickens, but also ducks, geese, and pigs.

She is busy every day, so she is very clear about how to raise and how to feed. Now that she is reborn in this era of nothing, she believes that she can do these well with the experience of her previous life.

She plans to raise a few more chicks in the spring of next year. If it is a hen, she will keep it to lay eggs. If it is a rooster, she will kill it for meat when it grows up.

No matter how many plans there are, in the final analysis, the problem of feed must be solved first, so now she has to raise earthworms, and she also needs to raise them on a large scale.

Of course, if you want to breed quickly, you need a large breeding base, so she decided to go to the pigsty to dig some spots every day when she went to the production team before the freeze.
