Chapter Ninety-One: Holding a Chick

91

"Twenty, why are there so many, can you raise them?" Aunt Hu asked in surprise, usually there are only three or five eggs to raise chickens, and at most there will be no more than ten, this Shen Lan is a big deal.

Shen Lan is very inexplicable, not only twenty chickens, why can't they be raised, besides, although she took twenty eggs, but not all of them can produce chickens, she still saw her grandmother hugging chicks when she was a child, and knew that some eggs would be widowed, and some would come out late, and the hens would not hug them, and in the end they could only roast eggs to eat, so even if she took twenty eggs, she might not be able to hold all the chicks.

"Auntie, if you can raise it, I won't raise it for too long, and when the year comes, I will sell it in the town, and I won't waste any food." Shen Lan explained.

"Oh, that's okay, you just leave the eggs here, Ming'er takes out the chickens, I'll ask my Xiangniang to send them to you, okay?" Aunt Hu asked, where did Shen Lan dare to bother others, so she said: "Don't be so troublesome, when the chickens come out, they will always be returned to Aunt Xu's hens for two days, and I will take them when they are stable." ”

After listening to Shen Lan's words, the smile on Aunt Hu's face was a little reluctant, although the chickens don't eat much, but after all, they still have to eat, Aunt Hu doesn't want Shen Lan's chickens to stay in her house for too long, and when the time comes, they will have to paste a lot of rice grain.

"Oh, I don't know how Lan Niang plans to let me raise it here for a few days?" Aunt Hu asked.

"It's best to raise it for more than ten days, so that the chicks can be stronger, otherwise I don't have a hen at home, and the chicks are afraid of the cold at night, and there is no hen to protect them, so they must not be able to raise them." Shen Lan explained that there was no incubator in this era, and even if the weather was hot, the chicks could not do without the protection of the hen at night.

Aunt Hu hesitated. Rubbing his hands, he said embarrassedly: "Lan Niang, it's not that the aunt is stingy, this freshly hatched chick wants to eat grain, you let me raise it here for more than ten days, I can't paste your rice grain in vain, right?" Why don't you send me a liter of yellow rice and feed it to the chickens? ”

Shen Lan was just about to nod when she heard a heavy cough behind her. So he immediately shut up and smiled. changed his words: "This chick is already troublesome for my aunt, since my aunt is unwilling to bring it to me, then forget it." I'll find another way. ”

Aunt Hu nodded reluctantly, took Shen Lan's basket, counted the eggs carefully, and saw that it was indeed twenty. found another basket and packed the eggs, and Shen Lan and Song San's sister-in-law saw that the matter was done. and went hand in hand.

After going out of the door and walking out for a while, Shen Lancai asked in a low voice: "Third sister-in-law, you didn't let me give yellow rice just now, but what is the reason?" ”

Sister-in-law Song nodded. Cai smiled and said, "It's not that you won't be allowed to give, but you give too much, a liter of yellow rice." Thanks to her opening, where can the newborn chick eat so much. What's more, where will she give the chickens rice grain, at most cut some vegetables and mix some rice bran, and she won't use rice at all. ”

I see, but now that I have rejected the other party, what should I do with my own chicks? Shen Lan was depressed.

"Okay, don't worry, wait until the next time I meet Wang Xiang and talk to her, let her bring you a few more days, by the way, can you tell the difference between a hen and a rooster?" Sister-in-law Song asked again.

What are the words of the rooster and the hen who do not know? Shen Lan nodded subconsciously and said, "The rooster's comb is big and has a tail, while the hen's comb is small and the tail is shorter." ”

Song San's sister-in-law immediately looked at Shen Lan with such an expression, and suddenly saw that Shen Lan was a little inexplicable, could she be wrong?

"I'm talking about chickens, who can't tell the big chickens, and I don't know if you're really stupid or fake stupid, forget it, I'll go with you to catch chickens when the time comes, and when the chickens come out, you ask Wang Xiang to return the eggs to you, your eggs are marked, and the bad guys are different from his family." Song San's sister-in-law taught, it's not that she doesn't trust Wang Xiang, it's mainly Wang Xiang's mother-in-law, to say that Aunt Hu is not bad, but she is a little greedy and cheap, and her mouth is a little broken, but people don't have any bad intentions, so even if there are so many problems, the people in the village don't have much grudge against her.

"Oh." Shen Lan nodded, it turns out that there is so much attention to holding a chicken.

"When the chickens are caught, you go and pull some yellow lotus grass back and chop it up and feed it to the chickens, so that the chickens won't get sick, you know?" Song San's sister-in-law then passed on her experience of raising chickens.

"What does the yellow lotus grass look like?" Shen Lan asked, saying that she really didn't know the plant Yellow Lotus, but she knew that Yellow Lotus could be used in medicine.

Song San's sister-in-law supported her forehead, why doesn't this kid know anything?

"Forget it, when the chick is born, I'll pull some back for you." Song San's sister-in-law was too lazy to teach Shen Lan what Huang Lian was, so she simply planned to pull it back directly and send it back to Shen Lan.

"Then what's embarrassing, why don't you teach me the third sister-in-law, does the third sister-in-law know some herbs?" Shen Lan asked, after all, Huang Lian is a very ordinary but practical herb.

"I know some, do you want to learn?" Song San's sister-in-law did not deny that in this era, many people look down on doctors, and sometimes they rely on home remedies and a few herbs they know to save their lives.

Shen Lan nodded embarrassedly, but Song San's sister-in-law laughed, and then said, "You are really reluctant to seek the near and far, isn't your uncle a well-known Langzhong?" He doesn't know any medicine, but you're begging me for a half-ass. ”

Yes, it seems that she has a good relationship with Uncle Yunting, and she helped with the medicine last time, why didn't she think of learning pharmacological knowledge from others, thinking of this, Shen Lan smiled embarrassedly.

The two broke up in front of Song's third sister-in-law's house, Shen Lan went home with an empty basket, Shen Wei played on the bed with a small stone at home, but there was nothing to do, Shen Lan started to cook lunch, and when she was ready to eat lunch, she started to make mosquito nets, yesterday she was looking for cloth to make clothes, Shen Lan found that there was a green yarn inside, which was suitable for making mosquito nets, and she originally planned to buy one, but later when she saw the green yarn, Shen Lan stopped thinking about it, she had fabric at home, why buy it again, after all, this era is different from her own era.

Lunch is sorghum rice, the dish is clam stewed eggs, steamed shrimp and cold cucumbers, eggs and shrimp are steamed directly on the rice, only the cucumbers are smashed by Shen Lan, mixed with minced garlic, vinegar and salt, the rice is cooked, and the dishes are all good, and Shen Wei is called to come over to eat.

After lunch, Shen Lan let the two children take a nap, and she began to cut the mosquito net, there were already mosquitoes last night, and the white and tender little face of the stone was bitten with two red spots, both of which showed some signs of suppuration, Shen Lan looked strange and heartbroken, so she planned to help the stone make the mosquito net first, so as not to suffer the child again.

Shen Lan plans to make a mosquito net in the style of a Western dome, such a mosquito net is not big, just a dome, sewing a circle of curtains underneath, as long as a circle is fixed in the dome, and then pull a rope sleeve in the middle of the dome and hang it from the roof, the curtain below will naturally hang down, covering the entire bed in the meantime, but Shen Lan's bed is not a cloud pulling bed, but a frame bed similar to a modern bed, otherwise such a mosquito net is not suitable, and can only be a traditional mosquito net.

As for the mosquito net of the small stone is also concocted in the same way, but the bed of the stone needs to be inserted with a stick, and then a circle is fixed on the stick, and the mosquito net can be covered down, this kind of mosquito net is simpler than the traditional mosquito net, and it is also very convenient to cut, as long as a large circle is cut, the other cloth can be sewn around the circle, it seems that in addition to the sewing edge, only the curtain and the dome are sewn together, but it is indeed much more convenient than the traditional mosquito net.

Used to fix the circle at the top of the mosquito net, Shen Lan went to the space to cut two thin bamboos, this is a special product of the space, it is a kind of bamboo that does not grow big, one by one, but this kind of bamboo is very tough, Shen Lan cut two around the two circles, respectively fixed on the dome of the two tents with threads, and soon made the prototype of the two mosquito nets, but the side was not sewn, but it did not affect the use, Shen Lan hung up the mosquito net at night, planning to use it first, and left the place where it was not sewn until the next day.

It is said that Shen Lian returned home nervously all the way, and when she arrived at the door of the house, she became more and more scared, and pretended to be calm, but Shen Hailing was not worried, and shouted from afar: "Mother, I am back with the third sister." ”

Shen Zhao, who was at the end of the house, heard the movement and hurriedly ran out of the house, and when he got out of the house, he saw his son and daughter coming back in an ox cart, so he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Why are you back, what about your eldest sister and younger sister?" ”

"Mother, the eldest sister said that she was going to be busy with farming, and asked me and the third sister to come back to help first, I'm afraid you and my father won't be busy." Shen Hailing jumped down from the ox cart and said happily.

Shen Zhao was a little suspicious, but thinking that it was not easy to ask if outsiders were present, he smiled and said to Song Fuwang: "Trouble his uncle, go into the house and drink some water to rest." ”

"His aunt is polite, I'm still in a hurry to go back, I won't stop, your children are all good, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are used to raising people." Song Fuwang praised, but when she heard this sentence in the heart of Shen Lian, who had a ghost in her heart, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and always felt that this Song Fuwang was poking her sore feet, but in front of Shen Zhao's family, she didn't dare to make any small moves, she just jumped out of the car in a dull manner, and went to get the basket in the car.

Shen Zhao and Song Fuwang exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the two children also moved the things off the car, so Song Fuwang drove the ox cart back, and Shen Zhao also entered the house.

When she entered the house and saw a basket full of things, she couldn't help but feel a little moved, after all, she had just come back, and Shen Lan had also packed a lot of things for her before, and now Shen Lian and Shen Hailing came back and came back with a basket of things, Shen Zhao naturally obeyed in his heart, and felt that Shen Lan's daughter was not raised in vain, nor was she maintained in vain, and she had always respected her mother's family, so she also had a loving smile on her face when she thought about it.
