Chapter 681

Xu Qing and a Ying chop up the vegetable leaves and fresh grass, then turn around the rice field and scatter the grass into the rice field. The fish in the rice field smell the smell and come to eat. They eat with the ducks.

In order to raise fish and ducks in the paddy field, there is enough space for fish and ducks to move between rows of rice seedlings. Although there will be less rice planted, it is worth raising more fish and ducks.

The paddy field in the space does not have such a complex biological chain as the outside world. Its water quality is relatively pure, and it is not suitable for raising too many animals. These fish have to be fed every morning and evening, otherwise they may not grow very long.

Originally, Xu Qing planned to raise snails and loach in rice fields. First, she dug some wet mud from rice fields, put it in a large wooden basin, planted sparse rice seedlings, and raised two small grass carp to simulate a simple rice field environment.

Then put in loach and snail respectively, feed some chopped vegetable leaves and animal viscera diligently every day, change water every five days, and sometimes add some rice bran and bean dregs to improve the recipe.

After more than half a year, the loach and snails in the two big wooden basins were full. To tell the truth, Xu Qing was a little scared. She didn't want the rice fields full of snails and loaches. These little things were enough to eat, and she couldn't sell them.

Later, these two large wooden pots were specially used to raise snails and loach. Although they didn't raise many snails and loach, they could only eat them once in a long time, but they only tasted delicious once in a while, and they would get tired of eating them every day.

After that, Xu Qing wanted to follow the same way to raise crabs and shrimps. Unfortunately, crabs and crayfish were so effective that they would slip out if they were not careful. Their range of activities could not be satisfied with a two meter wide wooden basin, so they had to give up in the end.

What's more, the little dragonflies like to eat are river shrimp, sea shrimp and grass shrimp. These shrimp culture requirements are too high, and there are no such conditions in the space.

In winter, I don't expect to eat fresh shrimps. I can only eat dried shrimps.

Looking at the fish in the rice field, which have grown extremely fat, Xu Qing thought that they should be able to eat.

Here, a Ying moved out two baskets of eggs from the warehouse, about 200 of them, and carefully washed them with water twice.

Xu Qing went to prepare spices. Today they are going to make salt baked eggs, which are stewed first and then baked in salt. But the taste of stewed eggs is too heavy. Xu Qing put less soy sauce and spices, just slightly marinated.

With more than half a month to go before the new year, Xu Qing has nothing to do in his spare time. Every day, he makes a lot of new year snacks, such as beef jerky, sweet potato jerky and coarse hemp, which are loved by his family.

In a few days, the dried fruit at home will be better. When the salt baked eggs are made, and then some frozen rice sugar is fried, they are all convenient snacks.

At noon today, Li Changting didn't come in. Duanmu Xiangjin said the reason.

Last night, there was a blizzard at the foot of Qinglong mountain, and the exit of the cave was buried. Now Li Changting is taking everyone to clean up the snow. If the vent is not cleaned in time, the people in the cave are likely to suffocate in it, or no one will find out if they die in it.

Duanmu Xiang came in for a meal and went out with the food box that Xu Qing had prepared for Li Changting.

When Xu Qing came out of the room with another food box, he saw heavy snow in the yard. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground and on the roof. The thickness of the snow was normal, and it was the same in previous years.

Small nine pinches the time to come over, took the food box from Xu Qing's hand and hurried back.

After closing the door, Xu Qing added some firewood to the warm Kang in the room and some water to the kettle.

Small nine with food boxes to fly back to Li Tinghui's yard, quickly into the house, closed the door, shaking the snow on the body.

Li Tinghui is reading on the warm Kang in the inner room. Xiao Jiu takes out the food from the box. Now the food is a little cold, but it doesn't matter.

Since it was cold, the meals Xu Qing prepared for Li Tinghui were all packed in casseroles, two dishes and one soup. Xiao Jiu lit four small stoves, put the casseroles on the stoves, and then put them on the low table of the warm Kang. While heating, he ate hot food, so that even after eating, the food would not be cold.

Li Tinghui has a lot of servants here. They cook their own food in the small kitchen. Sometimes Li Qinshu and his martial arts teacher come over, and Xiao Jiu will ask the maid in the kitchen to cook some porridge and soup to warm the stomach and dispel the cold for the two of them.

"It's a pity that the weather is bad, otherwise the young master can go to his wife's side to walk around. It's either raining or snowing these days, and I don't know when it will clear up." Little nine sighed.

Li Tinghui also misses the little Dragonfly very much. It's freezing now. He's afraid to take the cold with him. His sister is too young. It's not a small matter if she suffers from the cold.

The little Dragonfly didn't get cold, but got angry.

"Too many lychees." A Ying diagnosed, "it's better not to take medicine, boil some mung bean soup or rock sugar stewed pear."

The little dragonfly was crying with its mouth wide open, and its red throat and swollen gums could be seen vaguely.

"How many lychees did you steal?" Xu Qing is angry and distressed. He is inflamed, swollen and painful. This kind of pain is hard for an adult, let alone a child.

The litchi in the space ripens late. It has grown for so many years, that is, it has only borne fruit twice in the past two years. Before, little dragonflies couldn't snack. Now they have teeth, and they can eat almost any fruit. For a time, Xu Qing didn't pay much attention to it, and forgot three fires of a litchi.Xu Qing made some mint candy before, which was originally made to reduce the heat. After eating the hot pot, one of them can still refresh his breath.

It's not so fast to boil a rock sugar stewed pear. Xu Qing took out the mints first, and worried that if this small piece of candy was accidentally swallowed by a little dragonfly and blocked her throat, it would really scare her to death.

Xu Qing melts the mints in a small pot. Then he uses a bamboo stick to dip in the syrup and rolls around to make a litchi sized lollipop.

After the sugar cooled, it solidified quickly. Xu Qing made six lollipops, and then took the first Mint lollipop to the little Dragonfly who was still choking.

The little dragonfly's eyes were red with tears, but she couldn't wait to put the sugar in her mouth.

Peppermint can relieve inflammation and pain. The cool taste can relieve the pain of ulcer. The little guy smashed the lollipop and soon stopped crying.

While she was eating sugar, Xu Qing wiped her face and hands with a warm towel. Hearing that there was a noise in her breath, he tried to teach her how to blow her nose.

Just taking care of the little dragonfly, Xu Qing was so busy that when he had dinner, Xu Qing found that Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang hadn't come in yet.

At this time in Qinglong mountain, it was completely dark. It took a day to clear the snow from the vent of the cave, but another third of the cave was still buried under the snow.
