Xu Yin carried the stone and strode back home, and after chiseling and leveling, she began to rebuild the latrine.

She moved the solid wood toilet from the house to the latrine, and cut a hole at the bottom of the toilet with an opening that matched the cross-section of the thick bamboo joint, and put on a thick bamboo joint with a hole open inside, and the bamboo was roasted by fire and bent, and the other end led into the manure pit.

A gutter was dug at the door of the pigsty leading to the manure pit, and the pig manure that was swept away at that time flowed into the manure pit along with the dirty water washed away.

Go back and chisel some small flat stone slabs and spread them on the gutter.

In addition, she measured the size and dug another pit next to the manure pit, covered it with stone slabs, and used it exclusively to ferment kitchen waste. In order to make it easier to scoop up organic fertilizer, a skylight was opened on the slate and covered when not in use.

For aesthetic reasons, she also transplanted a circle of roses, or rhododendrons, around the two fermenters.

The water of the spiritual lake was watered twice, and the rhododendrons that were about to wither bloomed again, raising her backyard by more than one grade at once.

With the fermentation vessel, she poured the crushed bone meal, fish scale fish offal, sun-dried rotten vegetables and weeds, eggshell peels, etc. into the fermentation tank through the slate skylight, and when the time came, she picked it out to the field to fertilize.

After finishing this stubble, weeds in the field popped up again.

Xu Yin was pulling weeds while thinking about how to weed efficiently?

She didn't want to be tied up in the field with weeds every day.

"Aunt Lobby—"

"Aunt Lobby—"

The dog ran to the field with a smile on his face and came to her:

"Aunt Lobby, my hen has hatched chicks! Didn't you say last time that you wanted to raise a few chickens to peck at the spicy caterpillars under the tree? My mother asked me to ask how many you wanted. ”

When Xu Yin heard this, she instantly opened up a train of thought: Yes! How could she forget such a good partner as poultry?

Raise chickens in the forest and ducks in the rice fields!

Ducks are raised in rice fields, which can effectively control weeds and insect pests, killing two birds with one stone!

Arrangement!

Schedule it now!

"Huh?" Dogan was dumbfounded, "Duck cubs? But I don't have ducks at home! ”

Xu Yin said: "I know, you help me ask who has raised ducks, and recently hatched ducklings, give me a few of them." I want all of your chicks. ”

“…… Oooh. ”

The dog went home with a confused face.

In the evening, Xu Yin was collecting mushrooms and herbs in the yard for a day, and the dog girl came over with a basket on her back.

"Meng Jin's daughter-in-law, I heard that the dog said that you want to raise ducks? My mother's female duck just hatched a nest of duck cubs last month, and now it has been more than 20 days since it came out of the shell, and a few of them are given to others, and the rest are here. ”

The water system of Dawa Village is developed, and there are many people who raise ducks, generally close to the river and the lake, how many will raise a few, let them go out during the day to find food by themselves, and bring them back in the evening.

Although it is often lost halfway, it is either caught and roasted by second-rate people who steal chickens and dogs, or taken away by other wild animals, but even if there are only one or two left until the New Year, there can be one more meat dish on the table on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the survival rate is high, and it can also be sold to restaurants in the town, adding winter clothes, quilts and other heating materials to the family.

Although the winter here is not like the north where thousands of miles of ice and snow drift, it is not pleasant to be wet and cold.

Xu Yin glanced at the fluffy yellow ducklings in the basket, huddled together to peck wild vegetables to eat, roughly counted, about a dozen, and immediately said: "I want them all." ”

Although the dog girl was surprised, she didn't say much.

Once again, I changed my opinion of Meng Jin's daughter-in-law: Can someone who is willing to raise so many poultry be a lazy person? Cui's mothers are really too good at.

The dog lady left the duck cubs, collected the money at the market price and went back.

She ran errands on behalf of her mother's family, and she was embarrassed to make the decision cheaper for Meng Jin's daughter-in-law, so she thought that it would be better to charge her a few pennies less when she came back to send the chicken cubs.

Xu Yin fed the ducks with water and food, and naturally added some spiritual lake water to the clear water to improve their survival rate and disease resistance.

The next day they were put into baskets and carried to the field.

In the first few days, she first familiarized the ducklings with two acres of paddy fields, where they pecked at weeds, ate insects, and ate snails, and then pulled out the weeds that grew relatively tall.

When the ducks are older, she will come back and let them feed in the fields, and then pick them up in the evening.

There is a sense of déjà vu to pick up and drop off cubs to kindergarten.

It may be that she kicked a big wild boar to death, but no second-rate person who is not long-eyed dares to steal her duck.

Fifteen duck cubs soaked in the paddy fields and grew up day by day.

The big strong daughter-in-law pulling weeds in the field next door saw her raising ducks in the rice field, and wondered: "Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, why did you drive the ducks into the field?" Aren't you afraid that they will peck at the rice to eat? ”

Xu Yin: "It's still too young to peck the grain, but when it's bigger and the rice fields are drained, I'll drive them to the lake." ”

"Then why don't you go to the lake now? There is only a lot of water in the rice fields, and the ducks still have to be kept in the river or the lake. ”

Xu Yin said that ducks are raised in rice fields, which has many benefits, not only can they remove insects and weeds, but also the manure they pull can also fertilize the fields.

Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law was stunned: There are so many benefits to raising ducks in the field? Really?

When I went back to tell my family, my family was also skeptical.

Cui Dazhuang was especially skeptical: "Ducks are raised in rice fields, so they really can't eat millet?" If you eat even millet, won't the gain outweigh the loss? ”

"Meng Jin's daughter-in-law said that her ducks are still small, and when they are bigger enough to eat the ears of rice, they will rush to the lake."

"yes, her duck cub was raised not long ago." Cui Dazhuang suddenly realized, "Our ducks can reach the ears of rice by raising their necks, and driving them to the rice field is not like a wolf entering a sheepfold?" Don't take the risk. ”

"Definitely not to take that risk this year. Wait for the millet to come down and see the output of Meng Jin's family. If the yield does not decrease, we will raise it like this next year, at least save some labor, I think Meng Jin's daughter-in-law will not come to weed recently. ”

Cui Dazhuang: "......"

Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law suddenly thought of a possibility: "You say, Meng Jin's daughter-in-law shouldn't raise ducks just because she is lazy and doesn't pull weeds, right?" Didn't her mother-in-law keep saying that she was lazy? ”

“……”

It's not impossible.

Whatever the reason, everyone is waiting to see if the benefits of raising ducks in the rice fields really outweigh the disadvantages.

The downside, of course, is that rice production has decreased.

This one disadvantage is worth a myriad of benefits.

Xu Yin didn't know that there were villagers watching her rice field, so she put the ducks in the field and went home to do other things.

Two days ago, the dog girl sent the chickens that had been out of the shell for ten days to come, and the duck cubs were so big that a big basket could not cover them, so she cut some bamboo in the past two days and came back to build a nest for the chickens and ducks.

Eight chickens and fifteen ducks, the nest is not small, and they have to be separated.

Fortunately, the bamboo is cut casually, and the branches are also broken casually, so it is very convenient to use local materials.

Starlight doesn't ask passers-by, time pays off!

I wish the college entrance examination students cheers!

678 admit it!

With your expectations, we will move towards the university of your choice!
