Chapter 110 Urban Farming and Breeding Life
ͯJ4��; S ' ҷ 9$6ZF H o t /4_ 3 3q3Y ka At the dwelling, five fat little hens were running around in the living room, their wings fluttering and clucking happily.
They are covered with a transparent bubble that follows them wherever they go.
The little hens who have been living in bubbles are very accustomed to the life inside, and they are also used to happily chasing a little bean behind them.
Ding Yue's daughter can already walk on her legs, and her fat little face is laughing happily. Her favorite thing to do at home is to follow the hens' buttocks, shouting "hens!" and trying to pounce on them and hold them.
These five little hens are the favorite playmates of this little girl living in the city.
Ding Yue picked a basket of vegetables from the wall next to the kitchen, rinsed it slightly, fried it in the pot, and watched her daughter walk and sway with a smile from time to time, happily playing with these little hens.
These little guys are the beloved pets of the little girl when they are furry, and they have long been accustomed to the little owners who are crushing around, although the "clucking" non-stop, but it does not affect the efficiency of their daily egg production at all.
The breed of hen is professional layer Hailan Brown. They were bought by Ding Yue from a chicken friend at the Urban Farm Forum, and it is said that the egg production rate is more than 90 percent during the peak period.
After more than a hundred days, during this time, these little ones finally began to lay eggs. Five hens can provide at least three eggs to Ding Yue's family every day.
This week, Ding Yue added shells, shrimp shells, and fish bones to their diet, and these five little ones could contribute to the harvest of five eggs every day.
Ding Yue felt that in the modern house in Haishi, it was too fun to enjoy the fun of picking eggs every day.
Since then, Ding Yue's family has never gone to the supermarket to buy eggs.
The eggs produced by domestic bubble hens taste much better than the eggs bought in the supermarket.
The yellow and clear egg yolk is hit in the bowl, and the finger pokes lightly, full of elasticity. Whether it is scrambled eggs, stewed egg custard, or making cakes, they all add a few points of richer egg flavor than commercial eggs on the market.
After eating the eggs laid by the bubbly hens, the little girl of Ding Yue's family was no longer interested in the eggs on the market.
Although from the point of view of mainstream nutrition, it has always been believed that there is not much difference in nutritional composition between commercial feed eggs produced by layer farms and free-range eggs raised in mountains and forests.
However, when you actually taste it, your taste buds will be unconsciously attracted to the latter.
In the former, in cooking, you need to add more seasonings to match, otherwise it is difficult to make the taste taste have too many good experiences.
Eating it, it is bland and tasteless.
And the latter, from the natural aroma, is enough to whet the appetite.
In addition to the miniature poultry breeding ecological bubbles, the most popular plant in Ding Yue should be the miniature ecological water bubbles.
For more than two years, the location of Ding Yue's favorite plant has been constantly changing.
From the original climbing tomatoes, to climbing strawberries, and then to the current cultivated bubble plants, I don't know what plants will appear in the future to occupy this position.
Oh, by the way, Ding Yue's family doesn't grow tomatoes anymore.
Tomatoes on the market are so cheap and tasty that fewer and fewer urban growers are choosing to grow tomatoes.
From the shopping website of Xeno, it can be clearly seen that the sales of vine red jade tomatoes, which were originally the best and cheapest in sales, have plummeted.
When Ding Yue was in the Urban Farm Forum, she often remembered the scene when she was given vine red jade tomato seedlings a few years ago.
At that time, a small seedling growing in a bubble surprised others.
Now, as more and more entrants and plants appear in their daily lives, plants that seemed dreamy a few years ago have become commonplace.
Two days ago, Aunt Zhang, who was upstairs, also excitedly told Ding Yue that a few days ago, his son obtained a plant from a secret realm entrant that could clean the house, and now she can be freed from cleaning work for most of her life.
As a hardcore customer of Xeno, she remembers that the predecessor of Xenometer was an online store called "Urban Seed King", which originally had only one product.
She was still smiling and complaining to her husband Chen Taohan at the time, which strange name of this old-sounding driver came up with.
Today, Xenodo has become the largest supplier of secret plants in China, and the endless emergence of plants has brought Xenodegree to the direction of rapid development.
It seems that in just over three years, Huaguo has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Although the supply of secret plants is not large enough to reach every household, every time a new plant appears, it causes new fluctuations and creates new expectations.
Ding Yue put the prepared dinner steaming on the table, ready to wait for Chen Taohan to come back and start together.
There are only one or two ingredients for this meal, which are purchased from the market.
Rice cracker rice, a small rice cracker tree from the balcony.
Stir-fried greens, grown on the walls of their own homes.
Eggplant scrambled eggs, eggplants are obtained by Ding Yue with watermelon in exchange with neighbors, and the eggs come from bubble hens.
Boiled shrimp, small shrimp is not big, is the first batch of aquatic products of family ecological water bubble farming, the number is not much, Ding Yue only tasted a small one, sweet, crisp and tender, no fishy smell at all. She didn't want to eat the rest, so she left it all to her little girl, so that she could eat shrimp happily.
Tomato and egg soup, the price of tomatoes in the supermarket has been greatly reduced, four cents and five pounds, and the eggs are still the credit of the little hens.
In fact, this state of self-sufficiency, placed in the idyllic countryside, has long been strange and commonplace.
But if the environment is changed to a metropolis like Haishi, the food on the table has its special features.
However, according to the current development trend of secret plants, in the future, this kind of urban life will also be accepted by most people and will not be unusual.

The expansion of the mangrove island is rapid, and the area of the giant tung tree connecting the plant bridge is now nearly 10 square kilometers.
The islands formed by the giant tung blossom trees that are currently planted are dotted with dots from above, and they cannot be connected together. When each giant tung blossom tree continues to grow, truly takes shape, and connects with each other, a large plant island, it will be considered to be built.
This does not prevent Xenodu from choosing a giant tung blossom tree as its current headquarters and starting the relocation work.
Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua liked this island of plants very much, and they also planned to settle down here for a few stays, and usually came to stay occasionally.
When they have free time, they wander around the island under construction and choose their favorite place to build a house.
When the island of plants is built, the people who are happy are the employees of Xeno.
As the first residents, they have more freedom to choose where to live on the vast island. Every employee can get more than 100 square meters of island welfare housing in the company.
According to the housing price calculation in Qinghe City, this benefit is high enough. It's the kind of circle of friends that will arouse all kinds of howls of envy and jealousy.
After Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua returned from the island, they went to the wine valley to visit Sandao's mother-in-law.
This old woman is in the valley of wine, leading a group of wild monkeys, and her life is getting more and more comfortable.
This spring, the monkey population ushered in a peak breeding season.
