Chapter 12 Feeding the Rabbits

Shen Xiaoya was swinging a hoe in the yard and turning over the ground, she wanted to be as capable as her mother.

Although she was clumsy, she still worked hard to learn, after all, working in the countryside is a skill to survive.

As she hoeed the ground, she thought that while she could now use her abilities to find food and keep them from starving, she wouldn't be able to make any money!

If you want to make a good living, you have to earn money.

Because the land was occupied by Mrs. Shen.

My mother had to go to the brigade and do dirty, tiring jobs that no one wanted to do to earn a share of the work and earn a ration for two people.

Shen Xiaoya thought about cleaning up the ground in the yard first and planting some side dishes.

If you want to make money, you have to think of other ways.

After all, this old farming with the loess facing the sky and relying on God will definitely not make money.

Not to mention the eighties when there was a collective supply of materials.

There is neither advanced equipment, nor convenient logistics, nor a developed network, everything is primitive.

But in her memory.

The first people to get rich in the eighties were not hard-working farmers, but farmers who dared to try.

In the case of shortage of supply materials, we can make money by carrying out aquaculture, pulling the ratio of supply and demand, and adapting to demand.

Her mind suddenly flashed to the scene she had seen in the back mountain the other day.

She went to the back mountain to look for food according to the prompts of the ability, and saw a group of hare cubs, and she didn't think much of it at the time.

Now that I think about it, she can take it back and raise it herself!

Rabbits grow fast and reproduce quickly.

Generally, a litter can be bred in two or three months, and young rabbits can also breed when they grow to three or four months.

And they're multiple, and you can give birth to five or six cubs at a time.

In this way, you can not only sell rabbit meat, but also make coats out of fur.

That's right, raising rabbits is indeed a way to make money.

After all, there is one on the hare mountain, and there is no need for capital.

I just don't know if she can catch it!

Shen Xiaoya thought of this and sped up the speed in her hand.

I thought I would finish my work quickly so that I could go to the back mountain to have a look, but I didn't know if they were still there.

Before going up the mountain this time, Shen Xiaoya deliberately took a large basket in addition to carrying the basket, which was also covered with a layer of dry straw and an old coat on the outside.

I looked for them according to the location last time, but I didn't expect them to be still there.

This mother rabbit is quite clever, and builds a nest in a hole in a dead tree to protect her children from the wind and rain.

Shen Xiaoya approached cautiously, the young rabbit had just been born, the hair on its body had not yet fully grown, it looked like it was not yet a full moon, and her vigilance was not high.

She was about to reach out to get it, but she didn't expect the mother rabbit on the side to suddenly come back.

It was weed-colored all over, and when it saw that Shen Xiaoya was going to move its baby, it hurriedly blocked in front.

Shen Xiaoya had already prepared and took out a carrot from the basket.

She is like a female rabbit who has just given birth, and she has to take care of her young while foraging for food, and her body should be very weak.

Although there is a lot of young grass in the mountains now, it is impossible to eat carrots.

After all, it can't go too far from the nest to feed.

She took out the carrots, just to lure the mother rabbit with delicious food, and then reduce the hare's vigilance.

It won't get close to humans easily, not to mention the mother rabbit who has just given birth, so it should be more sensitive.

But to Shen Xiaoya's surprise, Mother Rabbit did not show aggression.

Rather, it is like a pet at home, eager to be caressed by its owner.

He arched at her feet, bowed his head and ate the carrot.

From time to time, there is a "click" sound.

Shen Xiaoya was stunned by this scene, why is this hare so docile!

The plan she had prepared didn't work.

Seeing the mother rabbit gnawing on the carrot seriously, she tentatively reached out to stroke it.

She gently landed her hand on Bunny's body, and instead of panicking, she continued to nibble on the carrot.

This made Shen Xiaoyale bad, and she touched the rabbit mother again and again.

"I didn't expect you to be so well-behaved, I'll take you home, there are a lot of carrots at home!"

I saw the hare look up at Shen Xiaoya, turn around and run into the nest, and take out the cubs one by one.

put it into Shen Xiaoya's basket, a total of 6 cubs, and finally it obediently jumped into the basket.

Shen Xiaoya was frightened by this scene, why was she so obedient? She thought about it, and suddenly looked down at the jade pendant on her chest, could it be because the jade pendant gave her the ability to tame small animals?

From the discovery of animal tracks at the beginning, to the current taming of animals, does this mean that her ability has been upgraded?

It turns out that before she knew it, she had become so powerful! This discovery made Shen Xiaoya ecstatic.

She didn't dare to delay, hurried home, breeding rabbits, it was not an easy task, she still had a lot of preparation work to do.

Shen Xiaoya returned home and put the rabbit in the yard first.

Pick up the tools and clean the utility room on the south side of the yard, the utility room is very simple, it is a simple place to build wood, and store some farm tools.

She first took out the tools for farming and vacated the utility room.

Then I swept the ground clean, found some dry straw, spread it on the ground, and made a nest for them in the corner.

In this way, the mother rabbit will have a sense of security, which will not affect the milk, and the little cub will not go hungry.

After cleaning up briefly, Shen Xiaoya took the basket into the utility room and carefully took out the cubs.

I took a few more carrots to the mother rabbit, after all, it is still in confinement, and the nutrition still has to keep up.

The mother rabbit is obviously very adaptable to the environment, does not feel any discomfort, and feeds her cubs when she is full of food and drink.

The cubs were all arching in front of the mother rabbit to breastfeed, seeing that they did not have any rejection, Shen Xiaoya was relieved.

She thought that she couldn't feed carrots every meal, after all, carrots are also very precious.

She thought that she still had to get some tender grass back on the mountain and settle the hare, and Shen Xiaoya went to the mountain to dig tender grass again.

When she came to the foot of the mountain, she thought that since she had gone up the mountain, she would see if she could find some hares, so that she could bring them back with her, after all, the more rabbits there were, the faster they could reproduce.

The powerful thought made her mind think of a nest of rabbits again.

Shen Xiaoya was picking tender grass while looking for a rabbit's nest, and this time she walked a little far.

Following the prompts on the screen, she found four litters of hares along the way, a total of 30 large and small.

Again, as before, the rabbits did not show aggression, but obediently jumped into her basket.

Thanks to her cleverness this time, she took two large baskets, but just like that, she still didn't put them down, so she had to put a few adult rabbits in the back basket.

Shen Xiaoya carried a basket behind her back and a basket in one hand, which was very bulky.

She walked slowly home, and although she was very heavy and tired, she saw hope, but she did not know if the hares would fight.

I finally brought the rabbit home.

She tentatively put the 30 hares in the grocery room, and because of the large number, she startled the mother rabbit who had just finished feeding.

But it didn't pay much attention, just looked at its own children, as if the arrival of these rabbits had nothing to do with it.

Some adult hares saw the new environment and, out of curiosity, wandered around.

But they didn't bother the Rabbit family, but each settled down in the opposite corner.

Shen Xiaoya was relieved when she saw them coexist peacefully.

She poured the young grass she had just picked on the mountain into the trough next to her.

Shen Xiaoya looked at the dozens of hares and thought: It seems that I have to go to the brigade tomorrow......
