Zhou xinxiu looked at the egg, has been able to see the embryonic chicken, is very happy, with her mother-in-law suggested," mother, this eye see seven or eight days, the little chicken can shell." Is it hard for dad and big brother to start building a chicken rack? "
"Yes, it's business. I'll talk to your father when I get back. "The dong family remembered that the days in the family had been hard, and that they had guarded seven or eight hens, and they were as good as their forefathers, and now there were more than two hundred chickens at sight.
She hugged her lovely and obedient granddaughter and gave her a big kiss. She smiled and said," my Jiao Jiao is really capable. He doesn't need a hen to hatch chickens. "
Jiao Jiao smiled and kissed her grandmother. He said proudly," grandma, your granddaughter has a lot of skills. You wait, you think you don't have to worry about feeding chickens. I have a way to get the chickens to eat less food and lay more eggs. "
"Well, I'll see what you can do. When the chicken lays the egg, let your mother steam the egg soup for you every day! "
Everyone started to laugh. After instructing zhou xinxiu a few words, they returned to the old house.
Three cellars had been dug up, and the mud had been mixed with straw and made into adobe. Now it was built outside the yard, enough to build three small earthen houses.
So the old man heard that his granddaughter zhang luo's chicken needed to build a chicken rack and agreed without saying anything.
There was no more work to do in the left and right fields. On the second day, the old man left with his children and grandchildren.
When the villagers saw him, they had to help him, but they put up the chicken rack in two days. If it weren' t for the construction of the earth dragon, it would be troublesome.
Jiao Jiao made only a few requests with his grandfather, and then left them alone. She had another thing to do, which was to prepare food for the chicken.
Although the weather was a little cold now, it had not snowed all the time, and occasionally the sun was still a little warm.
Jiao Jiao was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the time, so he directly found jinghua hall and said a few words to fourth uncle. Thus, one hundred and a half boys from the school received such a message after school.
The lin family took the earth dragon, and it cost twenty yuan a catty. They could also exchange it for candies and desserts instead of copper.
Sure enough, half of the boys immediately exploded and ran home.
What was the concept of twenty yuan? It was enough for the family to eat a month's worth of salt. It was two catties of oil, seven big meat buns, and a catty of good snacks. It was ...
And what is the earth dragon? Bugs were everywhere in the field. If a shovel went down, at least seven or eight of them could be caught.
Anyone with a brain would know that the deal was too good.
So every household got the news, they took their children, took the wire and bucket to kill the hillside, or soil rendering field.
It was only with this excavation that everyone knew that the earth dragon probably got the news and ran away half of it.
However, there were always some things that were not well-informed. They were still dug out and thrown into the bucket before they were sent to the lin family.
In the newly built chicken rack of the lin family, Jiao Jiao was directing the temporary labor.
Lin bao and lin ping took off their jackets and dug a hole about one foot wide and two feet long beside the wall, as their sister had instructed. The bottom of the pit and the wall were made of solid green stone, and they were piled up directly until they were as high as their chests.
A foot off the ground, and left a few pieces of live brick.
Jiao Jiao held a bag of sugar-coated peanuts in his hands and stuffed them into his brothers' mouths from time to time. The three of them ate and did their work.
Lin dahai took a load of dirt from the outside and came in. Seeing this, he smiled and asked his daughter," Jiao Jiao, the dirt you said is mixed well." They were the most fertile black earth that had been dug up from the top of the earth, and mixed with crushed leaves and straw. "
"Thank you, father, for the horse dung, which must be spread at the bottom. "
Jiao Jiao ran to look at the dirt carefully and was very satisfied.
Just as he was talking, the old man also picked a burden. The baskets on both sides of the pole were filled with dried horse dung, and behind him were zhao shi and dong shi, who were carrying buckets.
Jiao Jiao knew the old lady too well and immediately went to dong shi's side. He smiled and helped her carry the bucket." Grandma, why are you here? Are you tired? Let me help you! "
"My dear granddaughter, you can't carry it. Put it down! Here are earth dragons, scattered on the ground and ran! "
Afraid of scaring her granddaughter, madam dong quickly chased her away. Jiao Jiao glanced at it curiously, but was frightened by the surging earth dragon.
"Oh, how disgusting! "
"And you know it! "Zhao shi glared at her daughter and scolded," it's all because of you that the whole family is busy. It was fine if he was a little tired. "
Jiao Jiao hid behind his brother and stuck out his tongue.
She had never been afraid of my mother. First, I doted on her and didn' t want to really beat her up. Secondly, I was too old to deal with her.
As expected, the old man immediately protected his granddaughter. "
Lin bao and lin ping quickly said," yes, mother, we' re not tired. The job is very simple. "
Seeing that her honest and dull father was about to open his mouth, zhao shi quickly glared at him and said," alright, I' m the only bad person in the house. I' m going to cook my own daughter!" "
Jiao Jiao rushed over and hugged her arm. She smiled innocently and foolishly." Mom, I've lost weight recently. Even if you want to eat meat, you should wait for me to gain a few pounds! "
"This wretched lass, I am so angry! "
Zhao shi was so angry that she laughed and raised her hand to hit him, but her daughter held her arm and refused to come down.
Everyone laughed. After a while, the horse dung was soon spread, and the dirt was added to it. It was poured into the earth dragon and covered with a layer of dirt. Spray half a bucket of water and keep the soil moist.
Jiao Jiao nervously lifted the top layer of grass curtain and carefully looked at the earth dragon that occasionally appeared to breathe. In fact, he had no confidence.
In her previous life, she only looked at other people raising land dragons and did not really try it. If she couldn' t do it now, it would be a pity that her family had been working hard for half a day.
However, even if she couldn' t do it, it didn' t matter. At most, she would waste some food to feed the chickens. As long as the eggs can be laid before the year, all costs can be quickly recouped. This business was definitely not at a disadvantage, and it might even become a new way for the family to become rich.
After all, each household relied on a few acres of land, and the grain tax was enough to keep the family from starving. There are no mountains to hunt and collect mountain goods, no rivers to fish goods, can only be in the breeding of a road development.
The lin family gave them the money happily, so the earth dragon naturally accepted the money smoothly. In just two or three days, he collected more than ten buckets, and then the first snow fell in winter.
The earth dragon escapes life, the cat winter cat cat winter, is not willing to make extra money for each household sacrifice oneself.
Hence, the lin family naturally accepted the earth dragon's small business.
Lin dahai kept the chicken rack warm and melting.in his spare time, he took lin bao and lin ping's helpers and cut down the wooden poles together to make a chicken cage.
