Chapter 272: Lead everyone to raise quails
Han Mingxiu's family raised a lot of quails, and she was willing to teach everyone about raising quails, which soon became another hot news in Sun Aotun
When everyone heard that she had hundreds of quails at home, and she could eat quail eggs every day, and she could eat quail meat every three or five days, they didn't feel moved.
Now, the life of the peasants is getting better and better, and there is no longer the phenomenon of hunger and lack of food. As a result, everyone has a higher pursuit of life - they all want to eat something good, they want to eat meat.
When it comes to eating meat, everyone subconsciously thinks of common poultry such as chickens, pigs, ducks, and geese, but this kind of poultry is relatively large and the cost of raising is relatively high.
Quails are different, quails are small, the cost of raising is not high, and killing a few to eat when they are hungry will not cause any big loss to the family's economy.
Moreover, I heard that quail eggs are very nutritious, more nutritious than eggs, and better than eggs.
As a result, Han Mingxiu's house became lively, and villagers who came to inquire about the breeding methods of quails and the quails came to the door.
There were many people coming, so Han Mingxiu simply said to the captain and organized everyone to take another class. It mainly talks about how to breed quails and breed quails.
In addition, she also mobilized everyone to come to her to borrow quail eggs, take the eggs back to hatch and breed them by themselves, and when the quails hatched them and raised them for forty or fifty days, the quails began to lay eggs, and when the quails laid eggs, they could return the quail eggs borrowed from her to her.
If you don't want to hatch eggs and want to raise quails directly, you can also take things to her to exchange, grain, vegetables, wild vegetables, poultry, ...... You can trade whatever you want.
It's just that she recommends that everyone borrow quail eggs from her instead of changing things, because she doesn't want to exchange things with everyone, so as not to get into trouble a lot.
However, despite her reluctance, the vast majority of the villagers preferred to exchange things for quails with her.
It's September now, it's the time when the greens are full of greens, at this time, many people's greens have a tendency to be inedible, if you take the greens that can't be eaten to exchange for Han Mingxiu's quails that can lay eggs, how cost-effective, isn't it much better than your own hard work to hatch small quails?
So, the old ladies in the tun were all busy, picking vegetables in their own gardens, preparing to go to Han Mingxiu's to exchange for quails.
Of course, there are also many families who have grown grain in their gardens, and there are not many greens, so the old ladies of the family will go to the mountains with baskets to dig wild vegetables.
Didn't Xiao Xiu'er say that you can also exchange wild vegetables for quails.
There are also a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, and you can dig a basket after digging for a short day, and a basket of wild vegetables can be exchanged for a quail, and if you dig ten baskets and eight baskets, you can exchange a group of quails.
Who wouldn't do such a good deal? Some families even mobilized the whole family and went out to dig wild vegetables together, and after digging a basket, they went to Han Mingxiu to change a quail.
When changing quails, the qualities of people are highlighted.
Those honest people all handed over a basket of greens or a basket of wild vegetables in a proper manner, not only the amount was sufficient, but the quality was also passable.
And those who have a lot of eyes and hide their selfish intentions, not only do they not have enough greens or wild vegetables, but they also have a lot of things in them.
For example, wild vegetables, Han Mingxiu explained, she only needs her mother-in-law, celery, bitter hemp, purslane, small root garlic, but someone wants to mix it with cabbage and gray cabbage.
Han Mingxiu saw their little caution, but he didn't expose them, but when he changed them for quails, they were all old and about to be eliminated.
These old quails look no different from other quails on the surface, but in fact they don't lay as many eggs as the 'young' quails, and they were all put into the space to be slaughtered and eaten, but since they wanted to fool her, she didn't mind taking out these old quails to fool them.
Soon, most of the quail in the family was replaced, but there were a lot of greens, wild vegetables and a little grain.
Only a few exchanged grain for quails, and most of the rest exchanged greens and wild vegetables.
Han Mingxiu picked these vegetables and put them into the space, and those wilted crooked melons and cracked dates were cut into shreds or slices and dried by her, and kept them as dried vegetables to eat.
Wild vegetables have also been put into the space by her, don't look at the current wild vegetables are not valuable, but this is a real good thing, when pesticides and fertilizers are rampant in the world, you can't buy this pure wild green wild vegetables if you want to eat them, now stock up more, save enough for a lifetime to eat, you don't have to worry about eating contaminated wild vegetables.
When Han Mingxiu exchanged with everyone, the eldest sister basically worked in the unit, so she didn't know how many quails she exchanged and how many greens and wild vegetables she exchanged back, so Han Mingxiu could safely and boldly put the greens and wild vegetables into the space, leaving only a little outside to hide people's eyes.
This craze for raising quails has spread from Sun Ao to other villages, so old ladies from other villages have come to Han Mingxiu's house in Sun Aotun to exchange quails with a basket of wild vegetables or green vegetables.
Han Mingxiu adheres to the principle of not refusing to come, as long as their green vegetables and wild vegetables pass the test, he will exchange quails for them. If their greens and wild vegetables are not of good quality and have problems with other weeds, she will also change them, but they will be replaced by quails that are old and have low egg production......
In October, the quails of Han Mingxiu's family have been sharply reduced from more than 500 to dozens (not counting the more than 200 old quails she secretly took out from the space), and this craze for quails has gradually subsided, because the autumn harvest has begun, and everyone is busy with the autumn harvest, so there is no time to toss and change quails.
Han Mingxiu's bud rice has long been recovered, and the Chinese cabbage planted now can still grow in the ground for a while, so he is not in a hurry to harvest it. The potatoes in the two divisions of land were easy to harvest, and Gao Guangbin didn't need to do it, Han Mingxiu took two days by himself to pick all the potatoes and transport them home.
After staying in the countryside for a long time, Han Mingxiu's labor ability is getting stronger and stronger, and his physical fitness is getting stronger and stronger. Now carrying more than 100 pounds of things back and forth in the tunzi is not a problem for her at all.
The production team has also started the autumn harvest, and Han Mingxiu, as a quasi-model worker within the production team, will certainly not escape at this critical moment, and will not actively participate in the autumn harvest labor.
First, pick the potatoes and pick the sweet potatoes.
The male members have good physical strength and are responsible for pulling potato seedlings and sweet potato seedlings, and after pulling out the potato seedlings and sweet potato seedlings, the potatoes and sweet potatoes are also pulled out.
Of course, this is not absolute, and many potatoes and sweet potatoes have broken away from the root system and have been left in the ground during the pulling process. The female members followed the male members with small pickaxes, and when they pulled out the potato seedlings and sweet potato seedlings, they dug for a while in the pit where the sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings were pulled out to see if there were any missing potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Gather the sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings together and put them in a pile......
Although the process of labor is hard, but it is very fulfilling, Han Mingxiu followed the members to get up early and work hard for two or three days, and finally finished harvesting hundreds of acres of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the production team.
Then it is time to harvest sorghum, millet, millet and rice......
Han Mingxiu was assigned to a group of cutting sorghum ears, that is, after the male members put the sorghum down, she and several other female members took a sickle head, cut off the sorghum ears, piled them into a pile, and then loaded them on the carriage and pulled them back to the production team......
Cutting sorghum ears is more tiring than picking potatoes, because the sorghum ears grow on sorghum stalks, which are so strong that it takes a lot of effort to cut them with a sickle. After harvesting this large piece of sorghum, Han Mingxiu's two hands were blistered.
The large water bubbles grow on the palms of the hands, and they look shocking. However, Han Mingxiu did not complain, because the other members were the same, they were used to work, and they were accustomed to this kind of small hardship.
When she got home, she used a needle to break all the blisters in her palms, wiped some iodine, and when she went to work the next day, she continued to rush to the fields to participate in the labor......
After potatoes, sweet potatoes, sorghum, millet, millet and other grain crops are harvested one after another, it is time to harvest bud rice.
Sun Aotun's production team planted a lot of bud rice, accounting for about 60% of the planting area, because there was a lot of work, both male and female members had to participate, and Han Mingxiu was no exception, and participated in the ranks of budding rice with everyone.
