As the old saying goes, "If you go farming in May and June, you will make a mistake in one day and one night".

Although this is an exaggeration, it depicts the nervousness of the harvesters during the harvest and sowing in the hot summer.

It's the busiest time of the year.

The wheat is to be cut, to be pulled to the wheat field, to be dried, to be ploughed and planted for the autumn crops, and to be planted.

Especially wheat, the ripening period is only so long, if it rains, it will sprout after cutting, if it is not cut, the ears will break off in the ground after ripening. If the autumn crops are planted late, the season will be delayed, and the seedlings will be uneven, the growth will be poor, and the maturity will be late, which will affect the sowing and harvest of the next season.

Busy, busy, busy......

On the go.

The wheat that has just been pulled back from the ground is spread out in the early morning on the wheat field, and it is dried until noon, and the oxen begin to drive the cattle in the style of the ox, pull the stone roll, and roll on it, to roll evenly, and someone has to take the mulberry fork and turn the fork. After rolling, the wheat straw should be picked up and piled up, and then it is raised to raise the slag inside, which is a technical job.

The wheat field is shared, and there are people busy on it from morning to night.

The wheat is raised, dried, and ready to be stored.

In the era when there were no harvesters, everything relied on manual labor. Don't talk about it, the key is that there is a lot of dust and dirt inside.

Before eating, we have to clean it, dry it, send it to the mill to grind the flour, and then pass the basket, which is the flour we eat.

Oatmeal is called bran, which is good for feeding pigs, cows, and chickens, and is also more nutritious, and livestock and poultry love to eat.

However, most people will not feed the bran alone, and will mix it with bran.

Bran, the skin of rice, is much rougher and less popular than bran.

Zhang's chickens are currently fed a mixture of bran and bran.

When it was raised for a month and a half, the problem came, the chickens pecked each other's feathers and anuses, and several chickens were pecked bloody in the back, and Zhang began to worry again.

"With so many chickens together, in addition to the staple food, you have to eat some snacks." Wang Jing said.

Zhang was amused and laughed, "You treat them as if they are like you, and they have to eat snacks every day." ”

Wang Jing nodded matter-of-factly, "That's how it should be, otherwise so many chickens, in case of illness, it will be troublesome, let them eat a little immunity-boosting herbs." I have nothing to do and nothing else, so as not to attack my own kind. "In fact, the feed is too single and lacks trace elements, but it's not good to explain it to her mother, so I can only say some fairy tales.

Zhang felt reasonable, but shook his head again and said, "I haven't heard of anyone feeding chickens and running to the pharmacy to get medicine." ”

Wang Jing said: "Separate the pecked chicks." I can't do it anymore, the house is too small, it's easy to get sick when it's crowded together, and it's too late to treat it when I'm really sick, so why don't I feed some penny. ”

Zhang shook his head: "I've only seen people feed chickens and eat green vegetables, but I've never seen chickens eat Artemisia annua, it's unheard of." ”

Wang Jing looked confident, "I also saw it from the book sent by the cousin of the Qiao family, if it is not successful, my mother will cut it back, chop it up, and put it in the chicken shed, won't you know?" ”

As she grew older, Xiao Tuanzi became more and more vocal in the Liu family, and the Zhang family did see that when she celebrated her birthday this time, Qiao Chaoyang sent her a stack of high school books. She said that she didn't believe it, but she believed most of it in her heart, so she really ran out and cut a bunch of pennies out, chopped them up and threw them into the chicken coop.

Those chicks are already the size of a small fist, and they are usually used to eating the feed prepared by Zhang's family, and when they see the penny, they hide aside at a glance.

Zhang Shi smiled, "Your method is not effective." ”

Xiao Tuanzi also smiled, "Mother, why don't you wait a while." ”

After an hour, Zhang went over to see again, and the chicken shed was clean, and there was no penny to be seen.

"I really ate it!" Zhang said, "Is it really useful to eat this?" ”

She was still a little skeptical, more than she had never heard of before.

"Even if it's useless, it's not like you can save some food." Xiao Tuanzi comforted.

Don't say it, it's really useful. Those chicks had Artemisia annua, and sure enough, they didn't peck each other anymore.

There are many people who usually come to visit the house, and anyone who sees Zhang's feeding chickens with Artemisia annua feels funny.

"This method is very easy to use, I have a total of 2,485 chicks out of the kang, and I have raised them for more than two months, and there are still so many, not a single one is missing." Zhang's tone was very proud, "This method is still what Sister Jing saw from the book." ”

Wang Jing only smiled silently.

Of course it worked, her parents in her previous life were engaged in farming, and she had seen them do it with her own eyes.

The people who listened put away their giggling thoughts, and went home and cut bundles of Artemisia annua, no matter how they got it, the chickens at home just refused to eat it.

Of course, these chickens are free-range, and there are live locusts to eat, and it is strange to eat these artemisia.

Zhang was happy about this for many days.

The Qin clan suddenly came to visit the door.

Since the last blind date, this is the first time she has come to Liu's house.

"Sister Zhang, there is something I don't know whether to talk about." Qin Shi said thoughtfully.

Is there something you want to ask for yourself? However, the last time the Xin family next door stole peaches, the Qin family made a big effort, and the two of them grew up together and married together, and their love is far comparable to others.

"What's the matter, just say it, I'll help if I can." Zhang responded very happily.

"Actually, it's not my family's business." Qin paused for a moment before he said again: "I also heard about it, you know, I went back to my mother's house some time ago, and I heard someone say that the Li family has already raised one outside, saying that it is Sister Yao." ”

Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I felt that something was wrong that day, the Li family is in our area, and the reputation is not small, and the son of his family is not stupid, how can he think of being with our family. Second, get married. ”

In this era, the door is more important than character, how could the Li family meet a girl casually, stand there and chat a few words, and then be willing to come to the door to propose, there will definitely be secrets in the middle.

If Li Changhe had no problem, it would be impossible for him to think about marrying the Qin family. The Liu family can think about it, after all, Liu Chengfang is the pavilion chief, although the official is not big, there are always more people to recognize, and the road is much wider, not to mention that the Zhou family found it by himself, even if there is trouble in the future, the Li family will have a voice.

"The words came from Wu Ju's family, and I don't know if it's accurate." Qin said, "After all, the Wu family and the Li family don't deal with each other. ”

Master Wu took the money and donated the county order, not to mention that he didn't get the money, he also sold all the family property, and it was Li Ji who took over, and it is possible that the Wu family hurt the Li family.

Zhang shook his head, "This kind of thing, I can't stand the inquiry, I just don't know if I can listen to it or not." ”

It's just this kind of thing, no matter whether the Zhou family listens to it or not, the Zhang family decided to say that Hongyun's family affair is not good, not only will the second room become the laughing stock of others, but even Liu Chengfang will be instructed when he goes out.

After all, but the Zhang family didn't plan to come out on her own, and when Liu Chengfang came back in the evening, she mentioned, "I heard that the Li family's little one raises fans outside." ”

Liu Chengfang said: "That child of the Li family is not a few years older than our brother An, right?" How do you know so many ways? Don't make a noise yet, I'll inquire and then talk. ”

Catch thieves and stolen goods, catch traitors and catch doubles.

Liu Chengfang is not a big official, but he pays more attention to speaking with facts. He still gave the matter to his nephews and blessed them forever.
