86_86881 [Collect, Recommend, Reward] When the forest fish thinks that when the hen hatches the chicks, the purpose of staying in the nest is to maintain the temperature, so it is reluctant to come out, which means that as long as the eggs can provide a long-term constant temperature, they should be able to hatch chicks even if they do not have modern instruments.

She thought of a lot of ways, the first is to carry the egg in her arms during the day, and put it in the quilt at night, but after thinking about it, she laughed herself, and she can only carry a few in her arms, and she still has to do things, this bending over has been backing, the egg has to fall out and break, even if it is not broken, sleep at night and put it in the quilt, and if you are not careful, you have to crush it.

The first method was denied, and she thought about putting the egg in the stove again, but then shook her head again, this is not good, the heat in the stove is not easy to control, when cooking and burning the fire, it is cooked, and when it is not cooking, the temperature drops and it cannot be hatched

After thinking about several ways in a row, I finally thought of finding a few sealed kraft bags, filling them with hot water, and then lining them up in a circle to keep the eggs warm in the middle.

Although this method is not reliable, it is necessary to pay attention to the kraft bag at all times to maintain a certain temperature, not too high and not too low, otherwise it will not be cooked, or the temperature is not enough and it will not hatch.

But even so, it's the best way she can think of at the moment, whether it works or not, she has to try it before she knows the answer.

The only thing in the family is the cowhide bag that I bought when I first came to town, and I have to go to town to buy everything else. However, she was embarrassed to trouble Uncle Zhu Zi for a few cowhide bags, and every time Aunt Zhu saw her, she liked to tease her with a smile, so she didn't go there much now except for important things.

When she came back from running to the town to buy a leather bag, she began to get up. After pouring all the cowhide bags with hot water and lining them up, they spread thick mattresses on the outside and in the middle to keep them warm, then they took ten fertilized eggs and put them in the middle, and took a coarse cloth coat that they did not wear for the time being and covered them on the surface.

Now that autumn has just passed, the climate is not hot but not cold, the hot water poured into the cowhide bag, the forest fish has not boiled, she thought that if the temperature is too high, even if the chicks hatch will be scalded to death, so she controls the temperature every time at a little higher than the body temperature.

Although she is not a hen, but now it is not much worse, this cowhide bag has poor heat insulation, although there are mattresses inside and out, but still have to change the water every hour or two, so that she spends her days in boiling water and changing water.

Fortunately, she had already bought a kettle, and the two iron pots were not used, otherwise there would be no cooking pot after boiling the water and boiling pig food.

The hen hatches the chicks without eating or drinking, and it takes about 20 days to do it quickly, and she insists on it for a few days and feels like a year, constantly boiling water and changing water during the day, and not resting well at night, for fear that the temperature will drop when she oversleeps, so she has to wake up every other hour to boil water.

In just a few days, she was a lot haggard, her hair was messy, and her clothes had no time to wash, but fortunately, Ling'er Qi'er was sensible, and she didn't have to worry about cooking and feeding the livestock.

However, you have to use firewood to boil water, and some time ago she went up the mountain to pick up the dry firewood that she had hoarded was basically gone, and she had to find a way to get some back.

She taught Ling'er to learn to test the temperature of the water, asked her to help watch, and quickly went up the mountain and cut branches back to dry.

The three people in the family are very hard, they are guarding the eggs, Qi'er has to take care of the chickens, ducks and rabbits, and Ling'er is even harder, the forest fish guards the eggs these days, they are all going to cut pigweed, and when they get home, they have to cook pig food, cook for the three of them, and now they have to use their free time to help watch, and they are omnipotent at a young age by the forest fish.

Lin Yu felt guilty, but there was no way for the time being, she was not a person who liked to give up halfway, so she wanted to persevere to the end, a few days ago, several people were very tired, she thought about the first is that she did not arrange a good job, she and Ling'er were in a hurry, and the second is that she is too eager to achieve success, and her mind is only on this matter, and she has no heart to do anything.

When she was chopping wood, she thought in her heart that she would have to go back and cooperate with Ling'er to make her easier. Every day, she first goes to beat the pigweed back, and then boils water, makes breakfast and cooks pig food, while Ling'er only needs to look at the temperature of the cowhide bag, if she feels bored, she will change the boiling water and cook lunch, and then watch it by herself at night.

After pulling the chopped firewood back, she discussed it with Ling'er, but Ling'er was worried that she would be too tired in this case, so Lin Yu told her that she could wait until she finished doing a qiē, and then squinted for a while while she looked at the temperature, and then she agreed.

After staying up day and night, twenty days finally passed, but the eggs in the middle of the cowhide bag did not move, and the shells were still intact.

Then another five days passed, and finally a chick pecked through the eggshell and stuck its head out desperately. Qi'er was very excited when she saw it, and wanted to reach out and pull the chicken out, Lin Yu quickly stopped him, although the head of this chick is fully developed, but the lower half of the body is still connected to the egg liquid, if you forcibly pull it out, won't you kill a life? It has to wait until it is fully developed and comes out on its own to survive.

After explaining to Qi'er and Ling'er in this way, they were patient and slowly waited for the chicks to come out of the shell.

A month has passed, the ten eggs in the middle of the cowhide bag, six chickens hatched, and four more did not move, the forest fish persisted for a few more days, and finally hatched another one, but the last three eggs were still the same, so they had to give up.

Although the results are still relatively satisfactory, the first time can reach 70% hatching rate, but the price is too tired, she can now close her eyes and fall asleep, it seems that in the case of insufficient manpower, it is more cost-effective to buy hatching, although for the time being will not do this laborious thing again, but how to have experience, you can wait for the future to earn money, the demand for chickens is large, and you can find someone to help, and then come to the artificial incubation to develop well.

No longer have to stare at the eggs every day, the forest fish can finally sleep well, used to have to beat pigweed every day to feel hard, now after trying harder, she felt that it was the easiest thing to feed these two pigs, and some chickens and ducks.

After two days of rest, I was refreshed. Now that she no longer hatches eggs, she has a lot less to do, she will take over all the things of pigweed and pigs, as well as cooking, and only let Ling'er follow Qi'er to watch the chickens, ducks and rabbits, so that the three of them have their own things to do, but they are much more relaxed.

After feeding the pigs, she was free, thinking that the soybeans behind the house were also ripe, so she was also busy with the farm, and it took two days to put them all away, thinking that she had not eaten tofu, so she soaked a few catties of soybeans, and asked Ling'er to cook the rice first, not to cook, and then went to the mill to give silver money to borrow a mill back, and by the way, I asked the mill people for some tofu brine.

The first time they tasted the joy of the harvest, the three sisters and brothers were very happy, seeing that the forest fish was going to grind the soaked soybeans, Ling'er and Qi'er rushed to help, this was also the first time they made tofu at home, even if their mother Xiao was there before, they ate tofu and bought it, and she was the daughter of a wealthy family, so she naturally wouldn't do this.

When the soaked soybeans are slowly ground into juice and flow into the wooden basin, the forest fish will pour the ground juice into a cloth bag and filter it. Then the juice was strained and poured into the iron pot, so that Ling'er began to burn the fire. Making tofu by yourself was also Lin Yu's forte before, but at that time, a juicer was used, and the tofu made was definitely not as fragrant as this hand-grinding.

When the bean juice boiled into soybean milk, Lin Yu asked Ling'er to burn the fire a little bit, scooped up two bowls of soy milk, put the sugar, let Ling'er and Qi'er hurry up to drink it while it was hot, and finally took the brine on the soy milk, because Ling'er was holding a bowl to drink soy milk, the forest fish went to the fire by himself, and when the soybean milk boiled again, the fire was extinguished, and after the tofu slowly took shape, he took a knife to cut a lot of small pieces on the tofu.

Lin Yu took the largest bowl and scooped one full bowl out and put it aside, and scooped another bowl. The big bowl was prepared for the Apricot family, and the other small bowl was intended for Ling'er and Qi'er to eat first. Because there are no chili peppers

, she only used soy sauce, pepper and chopped green onion to make a simple dipping water, put the tofu, dipping water and rice on the table, let Ling'er and Qi'er eat quickly, and then she brought the largest bowl to Apricot's house.

She hadn't been over a month since she had passed, and Apricot and Bolt had only come over once in a while.

When I arrived at the door of the apricot house, I found that it was quiet inside, there was no one, Lin Yu stood at the door and called several times, and the apricot came out of the grandmother's house, and she was also tired.

When Lin Yu saw her like this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, guessing that it couldn't be grandma, right? He asked, "Apricot, what are you doing?" I didn't sleep well, so unenergetic! Grandma."

"Sister Xiaoyu, are you here?" When Apricot saw the forest fish, her eyes regained some light, and when she heard the forest fish's question, she turned her head to look at the house and said, "My grandmother's old problem has been committed again, and she is lying in the house."

"It's so decent, why did you do it again?" Lin Yu was a little anxious when he heard this, so he hurriedly walked up and put the bowl with the tofu in Xingzi's hand, "This tofu I made myself, I will give you a taste" After speaking, he entered Grandma's house
