happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 73 busy

"Yunfang, is it really okay for you to raise chickens like this?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law looked at the small fence made by her man, and felt unreliable no matter what she thought.

Put the chickens in the backyard, what if the chickens pecked all the corn seedlings?

"It's okay, I think it's okay." Shen Yunfang handed a branch to Brother Dashuan who was squatting busy.

After a little leisure in May, Shen Yunfang thought about moving out all the chickens in the front yard. Now the fifty chickens and ducks are in the chicken coop in the front yard with the original four big chickens at home. The chickens are still young. It looks good now, but if the chicks grow up in another month, the chicken coop must be small, but the front yard is so big and there is no room for expansion, so she decided to move the idea to the backyard.

In fact, there is no place in the backyard. All the places that can be planted are vegetables and grains, so there is no room left.Shen Yunfang wanted to fence several ridges of land, and when the corn seedlings inside grew to a certain height, he would put chickens inside.

Although she had never done this before, she had heard that this was the way to raise chickens in the fruit forest, so she also tried it.If it doesn't work, grab it again.

"The corn is pretty good, but how can this sweet potato be trimmed? It doesn't look like anything without being pecked by them." Dashuan's daughter-in-law also loves food, and people who have been hungry can't see someone ruining food.

"That's not right, I can save a little bit of food." Shen Yunfang said with a smile.

These chickens have only been eaten for more than a month, and they haven’t eaten much. Now that it’s warm outside, there are wild vegetables everywhere. She mixes wild vegetables with corn noodles and mixes some earthworms to feed them. It’s also a combination of meat and vegetables. The chickens love it. , looking good so far.

With wild vegetables, she would save a lot of food, and it would be enough to grab two handfuls at a time. It is estimated that the corn noodles in her hand can last for a long time.

"By the way, sister-in-law, you don't need to dig vegetables. I'll bring out what I gave you directly. You can just take it when you come to fetch milk at night."

Ever since she ate yogurt for Xiaojuan's child, the child fell in love with it. Dashuan's wife came to ask Shen Yunfang to ask for it for the sake of the child, and said that she would not be paid for her work in the future, so she paid for the milk.

Of course, Shen Yunfang disagreed, but Wang Xiaojuan was given two big bowls of milk every day, one bowl to drink before going to bed at night, and the other bowl to make yogurt and eat it during the day the next day.

Shen Yunfang told Dashuan's daughter-in-law how to make yogurt with goat's milk and how to drink it, and she was very moved.

"Then sister-in-law will not be polite to you." Dashuan's daughter-in-law has been with Shen Yunfang for a long time, and she also knows Shen Yunfang's temperament. She said that she really wanted to give it. If she was polite, she would still be unhappy.

"You're welcome, what a big deal." Shen Yunfang waved her hands indifferently.

The work of tying the fence is not too tiring, but it is quite time-consuming, so when the sound of the gong to start work is heard, the project is only half completed.

Shen Yunfang locked the door of the house, then took a small shovel in a backpack and led the goats up the mountain.

After getting into the woods, she found a place with lush wild vegetables and tied up the head sheep. Then she found a place with few people, squatted down and started digging vegetables.

Yes, from the beginning of May, the weeds and vegetables on the mountain began to grow wildly, and some children in the village who were not very old all went up the mountain together to dig vegetables.

They are all children from poor families. Their parents go to work to earn work points, so they have to be used as half of the labor force. These days, several children go to the front hillside to dig wild vegetables every day.

Shen Yunfang doesn't want to get too hot with the villagers, so she never goes to the hillside in front to dig vegetables. She always drives the sheep into the mountains to dig.The main reason is that she has too many secrets. She still takes her two little goats with her when she goes to work. In order to avoid being reported if people find out, she usually has less contact with people.

Because she is careful and her home is far from the village, no one has discovered her secret these days.

Shen Yunfang's skill in digging vegetables is still very high. She squats in one place and doesn't stick to digging a certain kind. She digs as long as it is edible for pigs, so she can dig a basket in a while.

There was no room for it in the basket, so she put it directly in the space. Taking advantage of this time when the wild vegetables are still tender, she should save more, and take them out to feed pigs and chickens when the weather gets cold.

Wild vegetables grow very fast, and after waiting for a few days, she no longer needs to dig, but can cut them with a sickle.

Shen Yunfang saw that the corn in the backyard had grown a lot, so she moved all the chickens in the front yard to the backyard.In addition to ducklings and geese, there are a lot of them, and they won't be crowded even if they are put on the ground.

There is another piece of good news during the period. The fungus sticks made by Shen Yunfang finally produced mushrooms. After waiting for ten or eight days, they will grow up.

Worry when you have nothing, but worry when you have something.Shen Yunfang is at this stage now.

The mushrooms grew up as soon as she saw them, but she was worried about what to do with the mushrooms after picking them off.

It's okay if you keep it for yourself to eat slowly, but the money in her hand is about to bottom out, and she still wants to sell them itchingly.

With such hesitation, the time has entered June.

Mushrooms have been picked twice, weighing more than 30 catties, and Westinghouse's mushroom sticks are still there, and when the mushroom sticks are scrapped, she is estimated to be able to collect [-] catties.And now Shen Yunfang has no time to think about how to sell these mushrooms. She is very busy, so she can only put the collected mushrooms in the space and talk about it when she is free.

So what is Shen Yunfang busy with?
three things.First, the chickens, ducks and geese at home are half-grown and can be thrown out for free-range breeding, but she has to give them some training, so that they don't know how to go home after they are thrown out.So every morning, she has one more job, which is to drive her ducks and geese to the small river at the entrance of the village, where ducks and geese are raised by the village.The chickens were thrown out directly from the backyard. At night, when she came home, as soon as she knocked on the food bowl, they all went home consciously.

The benefits of free-range breeding are great. The most important one is to save food, let them go out to find food by themselves, eat half full, and eat less when they go home.

Second, I was busy digging vegetables in the mountains. This time they were not wild vegetables, but wild vegetables in the mountains. Although there was only one more word, the difference was huge.

In her previous life, Shen Yunfang had never lived in a mountainous area, so she was very familiar with the wild vegetables that can be found everywhere, but she didn't know much about the wild vegetables that only grow in the mountains.

She only knew about this once when she went up the mountain with Dashuan's wife and saw someone digging.She didn't dare to ask, but followed closely to observe carefully, seeing what Dashuan's daughter-in-law dug, so she dug whatever.

When I got home and ate the bracken made by Dashuan's wife, she fell in love with it, and the bracken is the most tender this month. After a while, the bracken will not taste good when it gets old.

Time was running out, so Shen Yunfang went to the mountain to dig bracken when she was free.

The third thing is that the earthworms have almost reproduced. She asked her to put four wooden boxes on the kang in the Westinghouse, and put six boxes on the wooden frame on the ground. Seeing that the earthworms in the wooden boxes were too crowded. , but there is no place for binning.

Wooden shelves have been placed on the floor of the West House. She was busy with outside work in the past few months, but she did not forget to plant leeks in the house. Later, earthworms multiplied and there was a shortage of space. Seeing that the weather outside was getting warmer, Shen Yunfang moved the house The leeks in the garden are moved outside, and they count as much as they can grow. After cutting so many stubbles of leeks, it is time to rest.

Then, on the bottom wooden shelf of the Westinghouse, wooden boxes were placed to raise earthworms, and on the second floor above, she made dozens of fungus sticks and placed them on it.

After the top mushroom sticks are picked, it is time for the mushroom sticks on the second layer to be ready to be connected to the upper stream.

Now that there is really no place to raise earthworms, Shen Yunfang starts to pack earthworms in the morning and evening when she is free, washes and cooks the adult earthworms, then dries them, and stores them as feed.
