Chapter 249: About Raising Chickens
Chen Xin finished reading his arm, he was originally going to return to the village, but it was too late, and if they rushed back now, it might be very late, so Chen Xin proposed to sleep in the car for one night and go back tomorrow.
This is also something that Chen Xin had greeted his second uncle before he came, so even if they go back tomorrow, there is no problem.
asked his cousin-in-law to drive the car outside the county seat and find a leeward place to park it, Chen Xin turned around and returned to the living cabin.
In the living cabin, Chen Xin's parents were preparing to cook, but because they were not very familiar with Chen Xin's car, they couldn't figure out where to put the things and were rummaging.
Seeing Chen Xin coming, Chen Xin's mother hurriedly asked him, "Ah Xin, where did you put the food in the car?" ”
"In the cabinet above, there are some things in the trunk that can be taken directly from here." As he spoke, Chen Xin walked to the side of the kitchen table and opened a small door against the double bed behind the living cabin, which led directly to the trunk of the car.
This is what Chen Xin prepared when he was renovating this car, which can not only open the trunk to get things without getting out of the car, but also serve as an escape route in a critical moment.
But so far, all that has come in handy here is a passage to the trunk, allowing Chen Xin to take things from the trunk without getting out of the car.
Taking out some food from the trunk and putting it on the cooking table, Chen Xin did not let his parents cook dinner, but took out his own kitchen utensils and heated what he wanted to eat at night on the induction cooker.
Although he can cook some simple food with the induction cooker on the cooking table, and Chen Xin has enough kitchen utensils in his car, the ingredients are limited, and he didn't do so much tricks, just cooked a pot of paste with dehydrated vegetables and energy bars, and heated four portions of shelter food, and then paired it with a small packet of dried fruit.
Although it looks very basic, it is a good meal for now.
"Ah Xin, you eat a little more, if you have an arm injury, eat a little more to get better quickly." Chen Xin's mother looked at Chen Xin's injured right hand and kept persuading him to eat more: "Your second aunt and aunt also raise a few chickens in the shelter, I'll go and order eggs for you to make up for it." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xin was very curious, and asked his mother, "Are there still chickens now?" How did you stay? ”
"There are only a few hens and a rooster, which is the method that your second aunt came up with, leaving a few eggs at the beginning, and then hatching chicks." Chen Xin's mother explained to Chen Xin: "The chickens eat less than the big chickens, and they are easier to raise, so I raise these chickens, and I can touch a few eggs every day." ”
Chen Xin's eyes widened when his mother introduced him, and at the same time, he regretted that if he had done the same at the beginning, he would have been able to raise a few chickens in his shelter now, and he could eat eggs every day, not to mention, and he could also provide meat for himself.
Thinking of the long-lost aroma of chicken soup and chicken legs, Chen Xin couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked his mother, "What kind of chicken does the second aunt raise?" ”
"The local chickens in the countryside are generally raised by eating leftovers." Chen Xin's mother answered Chen Xin's question very casually.
Listening to his mother say that it was a local chicken in the countryside, Chen Xin had a bottom in his heart and understood that these chickens should be very common firewood chickens.
The so-called firewood chicken is a very common breed in the countryside of Yanguo, also known as stupid chicken, which can be rough-fed, and is extremely adaptable, and the cost of raising is very low, and it is one of the chicken breeds that is very suitable for family breeding before the disaster.
Although it is not as good as the broiler breed that can reach the slaughter standard in 40 days, the chai chicken is still a good chicken breed, although the five-month maturity period is a bit long, but it is quite acceptable.
And the most important thing is that this kind of chicken can eat anything, and the leftovers that people can't eat can be used to feed the chickens, which is very easy to feed.
You must know that Chen Xin's shelter still has the bran that was taken off after the last rice harvest, which is an excellent feed for chickens.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin said to his mother: "Mom, can you help me find my second aunt to ask for some eggs that can hatch chicks?" I'll take a little bit back and raise chickens there. ”
"Where do you raise chickens? Is there a place to raise it? Chen Xin's mother hadn't agreed yet, but his father had doubts about Chen Xin's words.
Chen Xin nodded and replied affirmatively: "Before I came, I upgraded the shelter as a whole, and many places have been renovated and expanded. And my greenhouse has enough output, and now I have vegetables, rice and fruits, and I can feed the chickens with rotten leaves and chaff, no problem. ”
After speaking, Chen Xin told his parents how he used the output of the greenhouse in exchange for materials, and then gradually transformed his shelter.
In the process of Chen Xin's explanation, Chen Xin's father asked him a lot of questions, which made Chen Xin almost overwhelmed, but fortunately, the vague concept of information provided by the system made everything reasonable, and Chen Xin made the matter round through some explanation.
"In that case, it means that Ah Xin, you can not only harvest thousands of catties of vegetables a month, but also fruits and rice?" After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, his cousin-in-law couldn't help but feel envious, so he asked Chen Xin, "Then can you help us transform this shelter as well?" Although the Vault has a little output now, this output is really not high, and everyone's life is quite hard. ”
My cousin-in-law said this, not for himself, but for his two sons, the eldest was only in the first grade of primary school, and the younger was born last year.
As a father, of course, I hope that my children can live a better life and not suffer with their parents since childhood.
Chen Xin thought for a while and said: "Of course this is no problem, but I need to think about how to transform it, and I have to discuss this matter with my second uncle, after all, if you really want to do such a transformation, you need a lot of materials." ”
The cousin-in-law's request happened to be exactly what Chen Xin wanted to do before, so after thinking about it for a while, he agreed.
However, how to renovate, where to renovate, whether the upgrading of these transformations consumes survival points, or upgrades through materials, are all things that Chen Xin needs to consider holistically.
Before thinking of a concrete and feasible plan, Chen Xin would not rashly try to renovate the shelter in his hometown.
After all, this transformation will affect his relatives, and Chen Xin does not want to act rashly.
