Chapter 120: Raising Chickens
Without Xia Qing opening his mouth, Tang Zhengbo didn't speak in a hurry, "Tang Huai, come here." ”
"Okay Dad, come right away." Tang Huai didn't expect his dad to be online, honest.
After Tang Huai was called away by his Lao Tzu, the channel was quiet. Xia Qing drove a micro-tiller, cut off a large piece of barren grass in the north of the house where she lived, hung a three-plough plough for the sheep boss, and began to plough the ground.
In fact, it is more convenient to use a micro-tiller to turn it directly, but after Xia Qing came back from participating in the agricultural products fair, the sheep boss became particularly sticky and hard-working, in order to show its value, not to mention the micro-tiller, Xia Qing used a shovel to shovel two spades of soil It wanted to help.
Ploughing the ground and carrying heavy objects, you must use the sheep boss, and you don't even need to pour ecstasy soup, I don't know when its strength will pass.
As soon as the construction of a man and a sheep began, the birds of the territory flew in from all directions, looking for insects to eat in the turned dirt.
After ploughing a few acres, Xia Qing asked the sheep boss to rest, and she drove piles to repair the fence on the edge of the turned field. After the fence was repaired, Xia Qing moved an insect-proof net from home to cover it, and the chicken pen for raising green light chickens was built.
Turning the soil is to make it easier for the chickens to dig worms from the soft soil; The fence cover insect net is to prevent evolutionary animals and birds of prey from stealing chickens, which are all mentioned in the information sent by Zhang San to Xia Qing.
The day after Xia Qing cleaned up the chicken coop, Ji Li sent seventeen chickens over.
The one-month-old evolution chicken has grown its feathers, and at a glance it can be distinguished as ten hens and seven roosters.
Ji Li helped Xia Qing pour the chicken into the big bamboo basket she brought and asked, "Did you find the wolf?" ”
Xia Qing shook his head, "No, it should be back to the Evolution Forest." ”
Ji Li advised, "The cries of chickens will attract animals such as evolving bobcats, weasels, foxes and wolves, you should spray deodorant in and around the chicken shed every day, and after the chickens enter the cage in the evening, it is best to move the cage back to the house and release it in the morning." ”
Xia Qing remembered, curious if the evolved cats in the No. 7 territory would catch chickens and eat them, "Brother Ji, does the cat princess eat chickens?" ”
"Eat." When Ji Li mentioned the cat princess, Banzheng's face exuded a glow called love, "But it doesn't eat what it eats at home, and it will go to the mountains to catch pheasants by itself." If the princess or two small ones come and steal the chickens, you call me immediately, and the damage caused will be compensated twice by the seventh. But you don't have to worry too much, there is a wolf smell in the third territory, and the princess with her child should not come. ”
"......" not only did not raise a cat, but Xia Qing, who had to beware of cats in the future, was in a complicated mood.
After sending Ji Li away, Xia Qing carried the chicken coop down the mountain, and when she threw the chickens into the chicken shed, she grabbed a small black rooster and was reluctant to let go.
After the evolution of chickens, the size has increased, and the one-month-old evolved chicken has weighed three catties, and how can it produce two catties of meat after slaughtering.
Seven roosters is a bit much, or ...... Slaughter one and try it?
The black feather rooster felt Xia Qing's evil thoughts and pecked her hand violently, Xia Qing quickly let go, and the black feather rooster immediately got into the chicken pen, turned around and barked at Xia Qing, looking at the posture as if he was scolding
"The more you scold, the sooner you die. Just ate chicken stew in the safe zone two days ago, and you'll be a few days longer. Xia Qing muttered, walked around the chicken pen, and after confirming that the fence and insect net could not drill out of the cracks of the chickens, he mixed some grass with wheat bran and cornmeal for the chickens, put them in the chicken pen, and then learned to "cluck" a few times for the hens.
The chicks heard the call and immediately ran over to eat. Seeing that they were eating happily, Xia Qing was relieved. The fodder is mixed with spring water, and the chickens are also filled with spring water in the drinking fountain, so if they continue to feed them like this, they will be able to survive the third rain of the year and start laying eggs.
In a month at most, the second crop she sows will undergo one of the most severe tests of her life - the rain.
The reason why Xia Qing hurriedly planted the seeds was that she hoped that when the third rain came, the second crop in her territory would grow bigger and be more resistant. There is also her green light and yellow light fish, which can hold back until the third rain and then produce fish roe to hatch small fish. Otherwise, there must be a large number of small fry who have evolved.
Xia Qing carried a hoe to weed corn and mung beans, and a few days ago it rained a normal rain that was not small, and another layer of grass holes drilled into the ground, which needed to be removed as soon as possible.
Standing next to the chicken shed with a grass in his mouth and watching the lively sheep boss, when he saw Xia Qing leaving, he followed him to the farmland. Xia Qing entered the corn shed to weed, and the sheep boss lay in the shade of a tree not far away and chewed.
After clarifying the germination rate of yellow light seeds, Xia Qing will sow the seeds more densely when sowing. For example, if the row spacing of corn is 40 centimeters, the plant spacing should be 30 to 40 centimeters, and the summer green will be sown at a distance of 20 centimeters. Sixty percent of the seeds sown germinate, so an average plant spacing of 30 to 40 centimeters is guaranteed.
Of course, there are cases where two or three seeds germinate or none of them. In this case, as long as you use a seedling transplanting shovel to transplant the seedlings in the middle of continuous germination to the position where the seedlings have not emerged.
Therefore, the corn and mung bean seedlings in the field are now very neat and even, and it is pleasant to look at.
Xia Qing has a lot of strength, the hoe used for weeding is improved by her, the hoe is wide enough, the hoe is heavy enough, Xia Qing is very easy to use, and the weeding work was completed in half a day. She picked up the larger grass she had hoeed down and put it into the bamboo basket, carried the hoe and carried the basket out of the shed and beckoned to the sheep boss, "Boss, it's time for lunch." I'll pick the vegetables, and you go and catch the worms for the fish. ”
Boss Yang squinted at Xia Qing and didn't move.
Catching insects is not hard work, and the sheep boss doesn't like it. Xia Qing, I don't like it either.
She walked over and stuffed a piece of compressed ration into the bag worn by the sheep boss, "Go ahead, go home after feeding the fish, and I'll make you something to eat." The boss is the most powerful, if you don't feed it, all the fish in our territory will starve to death. ”
The sheep boss had enough of Xia Qing's soft and soft praise, so he stood up and shook the hair that was cut messily by Xia Qing, and went to work with a small basket in his mouth.
Xia Qing put the hoe and basket under the tree and wandered around to see his farmland.
The rice seedlings bought back from the safe zone were all planted alive, but they were shorter than the green light rice seedlings exchanged from Zhang Sanna, and the color of the leaves was not bright green. The content of yellow light plants is more than that of green light plants, and the different leaf colors are normal.
After passing through the rice field, Xia Qing came to the edge of the potato field and found that the color of the potato leaves was a little different. She pressed the walkie-talkie, "Brother Qi, are you there?" ”
Qi Fu quickly replied, "What's the matter?" ”
Xia Qing usually doesn't speak during the day, and when she talks, there is something wrong with it, and everyone is used to it.
Xia Qing asked, "The potato seedlings in my field are a little wilted, and the leaves are dry, has there been any change in Brother Qi's?" ”
Qi Fule hehe, "Yes, we'll talk about this in the morning." Wait for the leaves of the potato seedlings to wilt a little more, and then you can plane the potatoes. ”
That's great! Xia Qing was beautiful and continued to walk forward.
Concord Qingwei asked, "Xia Qing, I didn't hear your movement all morning, what are you busy with?" ”
Xia Qing replied, "Weeding corn and mung beans, if you don't clean up the weeds, it will be taller than corn seedlings." ”
Cong Qingwei also complained, "We are also busy with this, we can't apply herbicides now, and farming is much more difficult than before the natural disaster." ”
Pre-Catastrophe herbicides are now used, which also increases the chance of crops evolving. It is also not possible to use the method of mulching to control weeds, because the mulch film will block the volatilization of elements in the soil after rainfall, which will increase the chance of crop evolution.
Zhao Ze also complained that the grass was not easy to remove, and then asked Xia Qing, "There are still a lot of potatoes in your territory, can you exchange them for ten catties for me when you harvest them?" ”
It's ten pounds when you open your mouth, you really have such a big face. Xia Qing responded coldly, "I don't have a few left." ”
When Shi Ji and Qi Fu discussed how to weed, Xiao Liu, the assistant of No. 9, went online, "Our lord has just developed a plant-derived biological enzyme herbicide, which is made of biological enzymes produced by the plant itself, which is non-toxic, non-polluting, safe and environmentally friendly, and is now in the trial stage." Lords can apply for a free trial if they wish. ”
There is no need to ask, if there is a problem during the trial, you will be responsible for it, and the ninth territory will not be responsible, and no lord will want to bet on the seedlings he has worked so hard to grow.
Although weeding is hard, with the medicine of the fourth sister, even the seedlings are gone, who are they looking for to cry?
No one was silent in the lord's channel, and Xia Qing was not interested. She walked past the sweet potato field that had begun to bulge, stopped at the edge of the pumpkin field, and her eyes suddenly widened, "Everyone, my pumpkin has finally budded!" ”
