After the morning meal, Deng Ji assigned a new task to the children: to capture them.

The so-called "but-line" is the earthworm, also known as the earth dragon or the cricket, in this era, it is called "but-line", which means a small insect that can walk backwards. "Zhou Li": "But it's done, it's good, it's connected, it's ...... It is called the genus of small insects. Zheng Xuan's note: "But it's okay, the genus of Moth." ”

Earthworms are the best feed for poultry and fish, and some people use them to feed pigs, high protein, easy to breed, fast growth, there are many people in the countryside in later generations, although Deng Ji's family is not in this list, but there are neighbors around the chicken farm, he has been raised, he is not a stranger.

Adjacent to the Qingzhang River, the fish resources are abundant, and there is no need to breed them, so Deng Ji is ready to use them to raise chickens.

For later generations, raising earthworms to feed poultry is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, which not only saves costs but also speeds up the growth rate of birds, but in this life, Deng Ji hesitated for a few days before deciding to give it a try.

The reason is very simple, there are too many plagues in this era, but there are few epidemic prevention methods, poultry are more afraid of plague than other creatures, and his neighbor's house in his later life is after an epidemic, tens of thousands of chickens in the chicken farm died and none of them were left, and the chicken farm also closed down.

There was only one great plague outbreak on the territory of the Marquis Kingdom two years ago, and if there was another recurrence, how could it be born.

What made Deng Ji interested was naturally the chickens brought from his father-in-law's house, the hens did not stop laying eggs, and they would spoil if they were stored for too long, and the woman who took care of them came to ask whether the chickens were used as food or for hatching chickens, which reminded him of the chicken farm of the neighbor's house in later generations.

The plague was rampant, but Deng Ji still wanted to give it a try, so he asked the woman to let the hens hold the nest, and she raised the earthworms first.

The people take food as the sky, what Deng Ji is currently lacking is a stable source of food, with this strong manpower to feed so many old and weak, the pressure is really a little greater, as long as the status quo can be improved, he wants to give it a try.

I heard that it was okay to catch it, and the children felt weird, except for fishing, that thing was not very useful, although it was not rare, but listening to the meaning of Brother Pimple's words, it was not enough to have one or two.

"What, is it difficult?" Seeing that the children's interest was not high, Deng Ji had to use a killer move: "Whoever catches two or two heavy, add more meat to the meal (note)!" ”

"Countable?"

"When does Lao Tzu's words not count?"

The children cheered and left, Deng Ji scolded, and went to the mountain to find Wu and Jiao, accompanied them to dig wild vegetables, and also escorted the two women.

Over the past few days, the two women from large families have become more and more proficient in digging wild vegetables, but the price is that there are a lot of scratches on their hands, which makes Deng Ji feel distressed, but there is nothing he can do, he is Qu Shuai, and he can't recruit them back because he is distressed, and he can only look forward to improving his life after the autumn harvest.

Autumn Harvest Autumn Harvest! Thief God, why does life pass so slowly?

Not only Deng Ji, but most of the people in the valley are starting to curse these days.

After hunting in the nearby hills, the wild beasts were frightened and began to move farther and farther away, and the hunting party had to travel far every day to start hunting, and the harvest gradually decreased, and the gathering of wild vegetables and net fish was slightly better than them but also limited, and the amount of labor increased and the harvest decreased, and it was no wonder that no one cursed.

Deng Ji didn't go hunting but came to help dig wild vegetables, and carefully accompanied his own women, which naturally attracted the laughter of other women around him, but the young man was thicker than many people in this era, and he didn't care, but Wu Ji was not as good as her, and every time she was laughed at, she always had to blush for a while.

As they lived together for a long time, Deng Ji gradually understood the character of Wu and Jiao, Jiao Qin was as mature as a dripping peach, she was originally a sister-in-law, but now her identity is only a concubine, she is inevitably restrained in front of the former sister-in-law, always a calm and quiet appearance, not much to say, but Xu is a mature woman who has been widowed for three years and has been ruthless, this young thief is more fierce than the previous weak husband, as if he has endless energy, when he sleeps at night, his body is extremely sensitive, as long as he is emotional, he knows that there is Wu Jiao this woman living across the curtain, will also ignore the call to get up, and be willing to compromise, Deng Ji's methods learned from the small movies in her previous life She also accompanies them, and Deng Ji is indescribably beautiful.

As the eldest woman of a large family, Wu Shi, has received education in the way of life, on weekdays, she is generous, and she tries her best to be good and beautiful when dealing with people, even if she digs wild vegetables, she must also be strong and secretly compare with others, if she has less, she will suffer until the last mountain, and there will be few gaffes, the last time she was frightened by snakes in the wilderness, it was rare to be scared, but it was easy to be shy, especially when she was pampered at night, obviously every time her body was hot, her throat was also squirming, and she wanted to bite her lip and not make a sound, for fear that Concubine Jiao would hear it, the more this is the case, the more Deng Ji wants to see her embarrassment, and even deliberately hugged Jiao Shi in twice, one bed and two good. For this reason, Wu, who rarely complained and was dissatisfied, begged Deng Ji to change to a larger room, but was rejected by the young man who ate the marrow.

Digging wild vegetables for half a day, seeing the time of the meal, everyone went down the mountain, there is a way is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, along the way Deng Ji naturally carefully supported, and led the women before and after to keep laughing, Wu Miao stubbornly refused for a while, but gave his feet to Wei, can only give the basket of wild vegetables to Jiao's, and the young man carried him down the mountain, this joke is more, so that she lies on the man's back and does not dare to raise her head.

When I returned to the valley, I asked the doctor to come and see her, fortunately, it was fine, but it would be good to raise it for two days, and when the doctor went out, Deng Ji turned her over and hit her twice on the tender buttocks in front of Jiao's face.

When the woman was shy and looked back, Deng Ji laughed and took Jiao's out to get food.

In front of the house, it is already full of children waiting to exchange it for meat, if you can't find the rotten and damp shady land, the earthworms are actually not easy to catch, and many of them can't catch two or two can't change meat, but the children are not stupid, if the portion is insufficient, they will gather in the hands of one person, and discuss how to wait for the meat to be exchanged and then eat.

When they were about to eat, if they were surrounded by little girls with bugs, it would really affect their appetite, and if it weren't for the fact that these naughty boys were all insisting that they were Lei Gongdai, many people would be ready to have a seizure under the pretext that they didn't look for food today.

Deng Ji came over, saw that they got a lot of earthworms, naturally happy, and told the gang to get dozens of fish to boil, no matter what the harvest is, each child under six feet to add more pieces of fish, naturally attracted a cheer, only a few slightly larger ones kept weighing whether their own is more than six feet high, and whether they should bend their legs slightly when they will receive the meat.

Let the children pack the harvest in wooden barrels, which are enough to fill three large barrels, and they and Jiao's first take the soup back and share it with Wu Yao.

After dinner, he called Che Huang, Han Qi, Guo Shi and others, and went out with a few hoes.

In the previous life, the neighbor's chicken farm closed down due to the plague, and when chatting, it was said that raising earthworms is actually very simple, as long as you understand the technology, you can have a breeding pit or not, but Deng Ji did it for the first time, or be cautious, on a slope that is not easy to accumulate water, let the car millet and a few of them dig a pit.

I don't know what Deng Ji's plans are, I didn't say anything after I asked him, anyway, there was nothing to do after the meal, just when I was sweating, a few strong men dug separately, the speed was fast, and at dusk they dug out a pit two zhang long, a zhang wide and five feet deep, and cut off the soft mud part above, and the bottom was all hard surface soil, and it was over.

Earthworms like to be wet, but the water should not be too much, otherwise they will drown, and this is the reason why you can see the fleeing earthworms on rainy days, so they pick up some gravel and raise the pit mouth around it, and pour soil into the gaps, and the feeding trough is built.

Then dig some saprolite as the base soil and pour the earthworms in the barrel into it, Tian Feng looked surprised: "You want to raise it, but can you?" ”

"yes!"

"What's the use of that?"

"Master, take it slowly, let the students have another gift in the future?"

Deng Ji sold a little, Tian Feng snorted: "No matter what you do, it is much more convenient for me to find bait when fishing." ”

"You are the master, even if you come to get it, who would dare to stop it?"

Deng Ji smiled, and told Guo Shi to carry some livestock manure and weeds and throw them into the pit, the earthworms eat very miscellaneous, and there is no need to worry about feeding the feed.

Finally, in order to prevent sun exposure, find some branches to block the mouth of the pit, and finish the work.

Pulling Tian Feng, who looked puzzled, everyone went back, and Deng Ji went to exercise with the naughty boys.

Under the turbid light, Wu Yao covered his injured leg, watched Jiao's fetch water to clean the man's sweaty body, and asked curiously: "I heard that my husband wants to raise it?" ”

I didn't expect that there were so many people with fast mouths, and this came to the ears of her own woman, raising her hand to let Jiao's wipe her body, Deng Ji nodded: "Not bad!" ”

"What's the use of that worm being soft and disgusting?"

"I'll show you that it's not soft!"

"Huh?"

Still in doubt, despite the muddy sweat stains on Jiao's body before she finished, the man stepped forward, picked her up and walked indoors.

Wu's eyes were already as silky, but Deng Ji turned around and greeted another: "Jiao Ji, you come too!" ”

Note: 襷, through 'feast', dinner.
