When Yingbao woke up the next day, the first thing she did was to scoop water to feed the chickens.
Seeing that the hen did not show any abnormality after drinking, he fed the fawn a little more.
Yoyo seemed to like the water very much. Not only did he drink it all in one breath, he also kept licking the bottom of the bowl.
"Okay, okay." Yingbao took the bowl away, touched the deer's head, and took out some bean sprouts from the cave and added them to the trough.
It’s strange to say, these things are obviously in the cave and I can take them at any time, but the five-dingzhi on the top of the cave cannot be taken.
Yingbao closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to draw water from the pupil pool, and she actually did get it out.
Looking at the water in the ceramic bowl, she seemed to be thinking about something.
Does it mean that as long as you reach the top of the cave once, you will be able to do it freely in the future
It is possible.
It’s like the top of a light source. Before you go up there, you have no idea what’s on top, and you can’t touch anything on it.
But now you can take out whatever is on top of the light.
On second thought, could the book inside the luminous object also be taken out and read at will
For some unknown reason, she hadn't been able to enter the luminous body to read the book for a long time, and she didn't know what would happen next.
Yingbao concentrated and calmed her mind, trying to use her consciousness to enter the luminous object, but it still failed.
Forget it, let's leave it at that.
Perhaps she didn't touch upon the important characters in the book, or the current storyline between the heroine and the supporting actresses had nothing to do with her, so she wouldn't show the book to her.
Just don't look at it. Out of sight, out of mind. You will feel relaxed and can live a peaceful life.
At the end of March, the villagers of Dongchen Village became busier.
Not only did the golden ear begin to divide, but cotton was also planted one after another.
Fortunately, Yingbao collected the cotton seeds that the villagers had stored at Jiang's house and put them into the cave during the bandit attack. Thus, the cotton seeds were preserved. Otherwise, the people of Dongcun would have no cotton to plant in the fields this year.
When she came back from school that day, she saw Chunniang waving at her with a smile: "Bao'er, come and see, our chicks are about to hatch."
Yingbao quickly ran over to watch.
I saw a small hole pecked in the eggshell, and the chick was knocking on the egg from time to time with its sharp beak.
Finally, the hole in the eggshell became bigger and bigger, and finally it broke, and a wet chick struggled out of the eggshell.
Chun Niang quickly stuffed the chick under the hen's belly and asked the hen to keep the chick's feathers dry.
"There are a few more eggs that are about to break. They will be ready in half an hour at most."
Chunniang brought out an old quilt and said, "Wait until the chicks come out and put them under the quilt to cover them. The next day the hen can take the chicks out to forage for food."
Yingbao blinked, "Can the hen bring so many chicks?"
A Niang put more than 30 eggs in each chicken coop. If all of them hatched, there would be a large flock of chicks. A hen cannot fit more than 30 chicks under its belly. If they don’t get warm at night, many of them will probably freeze to death.
Chun Niang smiled and said, "When they all leave the nest, your Granny Tang will bring a rooster over, and then she will separate the nests for the chicks."
"How do you divide a nest with a rooster?" Yingbao was curious. "Can a rooster take care of chicks?"
Chun Niang: "Of course, a rooster is very protective of its chicks. Just blindfold the rooster and stuff some chicks under its belly. After a night, it will lead the chicks to forage for food the next day like a hen."
Is this possible
Yingbao became even more curious, "Why doesn't Granny Tang use separate nests for the hens?" That would save a lot of trouble.
"There is only one rooster left in her house, and the newly bought hens are not homesick yet. We can't take care of them, or else the chicks will be pecked to death by the hens."
Chunniang checked the eggs laid by the other two hens and saw that some of them had broken out of their shells. The fur on their bodies had dried off, and they looked very cute, furry and cute.
"Tomorrow, all these eggs will have to be hatched. You can ask Mrs. Wen's wet nurse whether we should help raise the chicks left for her, or whether she should take them back to raise them herself."
"Yes." Yingbao responded, "I'll go talk to him this afternoon."
Xiao Wu came running back, his face covered in sweat, followed by his brother Jiang Jie, who was carrying a schoolbag.
When Chunniang saw her children had all returned, she went to the kitchen to prepare food.
"Dad isn't coming back for dinner again?" Yingbao washed her hands and helped carry the bowl and chopsticks.
"Your father was invited by Nishimura Muramasa today. I guess they have to keep him for dinner." Ever since her husband became the Muramasa, she has become busier. She is either going to the town or being invited to various villages. She doesn't even have time to farm her own land.
Fortunately, with the help of my brother and nephews, and the villagers also lent a hand, my farm work was not delayed.
Yingbao and A Niang's younger brother sat around the dining table and ate.
Today Chunniang prepared three dishes and a soup, including scrambled eggs with leeks, stewed tofu with garlic sprouts, a dish of cold cucumber with garlic, and a bowl of vegetable soup.
Now the vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing and bearing fruit. Garlic, shallot, cucumber, cantaloupe, etc. are sprouting like bamboo shoots after the rain, which is simply jaw-dropping.
The melon vines of other people's homes had just grown a foot long, but the various melons in my home had already bloomed and borne fruit.
Even the gourds planted beside the vegetable garden were growing vines and blooming. The small gourds were hanging on the bamboo fence like small pendants, attracting many children who wanted to pick them, but Xu Kun stopped them all.
Chunniang glanced at the little girl but didn't ask anything.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are taken care of by the little girl when she has time, and even the work in the orchard is done by her and her two younger brothers, so does all this really have anything to do with the girl
Today, Aunt Wang was still mumbling to me, saying that he was indeed a fairy boy, and that the things he planted were different from others. She also asked Chunniang for two handfuls of green vegetables, saying that she could make soup with them to cure diseases.
Chunniang was also speechless, but unable to refute.
What Aunt Wang said was absolutely right. Her family had never been sick, including Xiaojie and Xiaowu.
Other people's children often have runny noses, fevers, and chills, and their faces are covered with yellow snot all day long, but her child has never had that happen even once.
Even if you sneeze or cough occasionally, it will be healed quickly.
Including the child's grandparents, I haven't seen them coughing and wheezing once in the past few years. It was not like this in previous years. The old man loved to smoke dry tobacco and would cough and wheeze in the winter. Since Yingbao came home, everyone seems to be getting healthier and healthier.
After dinner, Chunniang told her daughter and son to rest quickly so that they could go to school in the afternoon. She then cleaned up the dishes and went out.
The vegetable garden cannot be completely taken care of by my daughter. I also have to loosen the soil and weed the garden myself to prevent others from gossiping and saying that the vegetables are grown because of my daughter's magical powers.
And in the orchard, I also have to water and fertilize the plants frequently.
Chunniang walked into the orchard and saw that her own fruit trees were full of fruits.
It was only April, but the branches of the apricot, peach, pear and apple trees were already covered with so many small fruits that they were too numerous to count.
If we wait until the fruits are ripe, won’t the branches be broken
Chunniang walked around the orchard and then went to take a look at the vineyard.
My goodness! She hadn't been here for a few days, but the grape vines had already climbed up the newly planted bamboo racks and were growing lush and green.
I went to the pepper garden again and found that the pepper seedlings had become pepper vines, growing more prosperously than grape vines.
No wonder several women kept talking to her about peppercorns; it turned out that they had been paying attention to their own pepper gardens.
