Chapter Thirty-Six: Winter and Snow
There were two daughters-in-law rushing to help, and the screws in this basket were hammered very quickly, but there was a fishy smell.
Ye Yuran asked Li to take the pigweed that she specially handed over to Liu's to leave, mix it with these screws, and pour it into the place where the chickens are fed on weekdays.
"Giggle ......"
"Giggles......
Lin and Li greeted them, and after a while, the skinny chickens returned.
It's as if a new continent has been discovered, and chickens that don't usually eat very actively suddenly become active, and they eat positively.
Li Shi exclaimed in surprise: "Mother, eat, eat, eat, they eat." ”
"Of course I ate it, and no matter how little it was, it was meat. Ye Yuran said.
"Ah, chickens also want to eat meat?"
Obviously, the Lin family next to him also looked surprised.
"Aren't the insects and grasshoppers that chickens eat meat?" Ye Yuran said.
"Really. Li looked suddenly realized, "So, our chickens are so thin, is because we only feed pigweed, not meat, that's why they are so thin?"
There is no way, the big and second treasures at home are too small, even if they catch grasshoppers, they can't catch a few.
So most people don't feed many chickens, just two or three, and they can have some meat, but if they have to feed more, it's hard to say.
Every house has chickens, but it is not easy to let them out, because there is a vegetable garden in front of the house and behind the house, and if you release the vegetable garden, you will have to suffer seedlings.
Because there are a lot of quarrels about this, so you have to be careful if you release the chickens, not only do you have to pay for other people's vegetable gardens, but also your family may lose the chickens.
No one wants to pay for someone's vegetable garden, so it is enough to keep two or three in captivity in the backyard.
But the original owner is different, the original owner wants to make more money, so he can ask someone to send Zhu Bamei to a better Gaomen compound, so he raised a few more.
It's just that she seems to have forgotten that chickens are not just what you feed them to eat, especially when so many are kept in such a small place......
The ancient people were relatively simple, and they didn't think much about it, and they couldn't find the reason, so they felt that this chicken was not good, this batch was not good, and next time it was okay to change a batch of them.
The original owner changed several batches of chickens, but they were not raised.
"But how can we have so much meat to feed the chickens?" Lin muttered, "If we have that meat to feed the chickens, we can eat it ourselves." ”
"Yes, the fifth brother and sister are right. "In that case, we might as well raise a few fewer eggs and lay an egg." ”
Ye Yuran glanced at them and didn't speak.
Lin and Li themselves talked happily there, saying that their own experience in raising chickens and how to raise them can be raised well.
Ye Yuran saw that the chicken was almost finished, and she had a plan in her heart, so she didn't delay in the backyard, let the Lin family continue to work, called the Li family, and went to the side of the small river ditch with her.
"Mother, what are you doing there?" Li Shi did not forget to bring her cloth tie.
Although there is nothing in the small river ditch, there is something to eat, and it has already been finished by those children, but what if?
"Mother, do you want to bring a bamboo basket, and we can get some more screws back? ”
The snail that Li is talking about is a kind of big screw that grows on the edge of the pond and is half an egg's size, but it is not the type that is as thick as a small finger.
Although the meat of this snail is also big and the meat is not much, it obviously has a lot of meat compared with the one that Dabao and Erbao have brought back. When the farmer goes to work in the field, he will pay a little attention to the place where there is water to see if he can pick up a "cheap".
"Take it with you. Ye Yuran naturally knew that this kind of snail was not easy to pick up, but she didn't go to it, but the small fish and shrimp in the river, or crabs and the like.
She vividly remembers when she was a child and went to the river with some children in the village to climb over crabs.
In the memory of the original owner, Ye Yuran had seen a similar ditch, but she did not have such a memory of turning over the crab, so she doubted - not necessarily no, it may also be that people in this era do not know that thing can be eaten.
Crabs are no better than fish and shrimp, they are covered in shells, and if they are not handled cleanly, they are easy to breed bacteria and easily cause death.
If people in this era are not aware of this, anyone who has taken the risk of eating this kind of thing in the wrong way is likely to make people mistakenly think that crabs cannot be eaten.
It is precisely in the memory of the original owner that no one has ever mentioned such similar or similar things, whether it is working as a maid ring in a big family or marrying into Zhujia Village.
There is a big river at the foot of Taidang Mountain, called "Taidang River".
It surrounds half of the mountain, distributes some branches, and then flows to the great river in the distance.
The small river ditch near Zhujia Village is called "Zhujiagou", except for one that has been dug manually, most of the others are covered with pebbles, with different shades.
All the adults will tell their children that except for the one that has been dug by hand, they should not go down to the river to bathe without permission, for fear that the children will be ignorant and drown in it.
In ten miles and eight towns, there will be children in it every year.
Soon, Ye Yuran and the Li family left Zhujia Village and found a small river ditch that was usually cold and not usually used by anyone.
Anyway, they didn't do it to touch the fish, and Ye Yuran didn't want to run into other people in the village, and they would be in trouble when the time came.
This small ditch is more steep than other places, and it is covered with dense pebbles, and every other distance the ditch widens, narrows, deepens, or shallows, and even adults dare not go down easily if it is not a familiar area.
Ye Yuran found a relatively flat and shallow place, and turned over in the ditch according to the method in his memory.
I don't know if it's the golden finger at work, or if this ditch already has this thing, Ye Yuran didn't take a while, and he turned over to a palm-sized green crab.
Ye Yuran was quick to fight, pinched both sides of the crab, and threw it into the bamboo basket.
"Mother, what is this?!" Li's eyes widened, what was this at all.
"Don't you know?" Ye Yuran raised her head and asked her.
Li shook his head: "I don't know." There's this thing under the rock?"
"Not every stone has it, it has to be like this......" Ye Yuran said, and realized that she was pregnant, so let her stay by the river honestly and don't come down to make trouble.
This pebble is no better than others, it is easy to slip on the feet, this is going to slip a little, can the pregnant Li be good?
Li usually doesn't run to the river much, and she still knows the severity of this, even if Ye Yuran doesn't say it, does she dare to step on those pebbles that are usually slippery, and stay on the shore honestly.
But she wasn't completely idle, looking around to see if she could find some edible wild vegetables or fruits.
"Mother, look, there's Ulva here, I'll pick up some of this and go back to make a soup or something, what do you think?"
Ye Yuran didn't know what Ulva was, but she did find a wild vegetable called "Ulva Cabbage" in the memory of the original owner.
