Chapter 10 Raising Chickens

The family had been busy all day, and they were relieved when they carried all the harvested wheat back home!

Although there is still some harvest to be done, at this rate it will take less than two days to complete the summer harvest.

Other families in the village have sufficient male labor, and many have finished harvesting and are preparing for autumn planting, but their family is a little slower.

"Mom, please rest for a while, I'll go cook."

Xie Zhilan is also very tired. If she were herself in the previous life, she might not be able to survive the afternoon. But Xie Zhilan is used to farm work, and she still has a lot of strength, so although she feels very tired now, she will not be able to make it through the afternoon.

Not to the point where I can't move.

Mrs. Chen looked at her back, took a deep breath, and called her son forward.

"Did your sister really say it was the wild boar sent by Huzi's father?" Ms. Chen asked in a lowered voice.

Xie Qing didn't think much and nodded immediately, "Is there any lie? By the way, mother, what should I do with the wild boar? I also said that if the villagers want to eat wild boar, they can buy it with money!"

Mrs. Chen opened her mouth and said after a while: "Why is this a little unlike your sister's temperament? She didn't like to associate with those people in the village in the past."

"Mom, she didn't like to interact with others before, and you always scolded her. Isn't it good now?" Xie Qing said disapprovingly.

Mrs. Chen choked and glared at him angrily, "Since we are going to sell wild boar meat, why don't you hurry up and boil water?"

"okay!"

Although the taste of wild boar is not that good, it is meat after all, right? And it is a whole pig.

Xie Qing had long forgotten his fatigue and happily took his little nephew Xie Lin to fetch and boil water.

Ms. Chen glared at the two men, then looked at her daughter who was busy in the kitchen, but finally said nothing.

The Xie family's yard is not very big, but a clean area is specially reserved for threshing and drying grain. Mrs. Chen took a stick and started threshing wheat. The whole family was busy and lively.

Xie Zhilan prepares meals by herself, so naturally she needs to use the agricultural supermarket system.

In fact, she now has more than 130 points. After all, just her and Xie Qing walking around the village with their wild boars raised are already annoying enough.

Most rural people cook porridge in summer. If the conditions are better, add a few steamed buns and a plate of pickles to basically make it a meal.

Xie Zhilan wanted her family to eat better, and she couldn't move her eyes away from the rich food in the supermarket for a long time.

What should I do? How about she exchange some things for her at night and continue to use the banner of Huzi’s father?

"Sister - boil water and prepare to kill the pig!"

A shout came back to Xie Zhilan's thoughts, and she withdrew her eyes from the system. She accidentally saw a plate of eggs, and her eyes suddenly lit up!

The Xie family is really poor, so poor that they can't even raise a chicken, so poor that they can only eat two meals a day and only some grain porridge!

But now that we have eggs, can we hatch some chicks and raise them?

Chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, chickens lay eggs...

"System, which eggs can be hatched?" Xie Zhilan couldn't contain her excitement.

Originally, she wanted to increase the yield of her family's crops, but now that the summer harvest is not over yet, she is not in a hurry. It is the right time to raise chicks.

[Yes, the host can choose high-quality native eggs. These are absolutely born from free-range native chickens and can be hatched]

Xie Zhilan was immediately happy!

She looked at the price carefully and found that she only needed two points to exchange for five high-quality free-range eggs, which was not expensive at all. The most important thing was that she had enough points now to afford the exchange.

However, the incubation problem gave her a hard time.

[Host, you can redeem an incubator]

"This is ancient times and there is no electricity!"

[Then the host can consider exchanging it for an old hen, which will be responsible for hatching the eggs]

Xie Zhilan's mouth twitched fiercely: "Do you think the old hen will listen to me and hatch eggs for me honestly?"

[Host, have you forgotten? I have told you before that the products produced by this system are absolutely guaranteed to be of high quality and quantity, and you will not be deceived!]

"Even an old hen can be obedient?" Xie Zhilan didn't believe it at all.

[Of course! If the host doesn’t believe it, you can try it! Due to level restrictions, large livestock cannot provide such living creatures for the time being, but small poultry are still available. 】

All right!

Xie Zhilan felt that she could even accept things like time travel and the system calmly, and it seemed that it would not be difficult to accept an obedient old hen.

"Twenty points for an old hen? So expensive??" Xie Zhilan couldn't help but clicked her tongue after seeing the price.

[Host, it not only hatches eggs, but also lays eggs every day. Of course it is more expensive! 】

Xie Zhilan: "..."

Fine!

There are indeed good reasons for being expensive.

It seems that tonight Huzi's father will ask someone to deliver an old hen and a bunch of eggs again...

After the water was boiled, Xie Zhilan and Xie Qing began to scald the pig and pluck the pig hair under Chen's command. Even Xie Lin participated happily, and the whole family was busy until it was time to light the lanterns.

Xie Zhilan cut some tender wild boar meat and secretly exchanged it for some seasonings and stir-fried a large plate. Then she exchanged some vegetables and stir-fried them with lard, one meat and one vegetable. Although the quantity was a little small, the nutritional value was definitely

Much better than before.

"Sister, I didn't expect this wild boar meat to be so delicious. How did you make it?" Xie Qing wiped the oil from his mouth and asked casually.

Xie Zhilan noticed Mrs. Chen's gaze, and said quickly and calmly: "I found some spices in the mountains a few days ago, and I put a little in when frying."

Mrs. Chen frowned, "Why didn't I see it in the kitchen just now? And where did this dish come from?"

"Huzi's father gave it to him, but the things he gave were relatively small, and they were all used up in one meal!"

Chen: "..."

Now this girl is fooling herself without changing her expression?

Although I don’t want to be angry, I’m still very angry!!

After cleaning up, Xie Zhilan boiled water and asked the family to take turns to take a bath. Ms. Chen was surprised that her daughter suddenly became more clean-minded, but Xie Zhilan said that being too dirty would make her sick easily. If she got sick, she would have to see a doctor and spend money on medicine.

…

When money was mentioned, Ms. Chen stopped talking. After all, her family was poor.

However, she felt really comfortable after taking a bath, so much so that Chen originally planned to have a good chat with her daughter about ‘Hu Zi’s father’, but unexpectedly she fell asleep not long after leaning on the bed.

Seeing this, Xie Zhilan carefully helped her lie down and covered her with a thin quilt. She turned around and looked at Xie Qing and Xie Lin who were already asleep, and then quietly entered the kitchen.

She had to exchange the old hens and eggs first and find a place to put them, otherwise Chen and Xie Qing would get up earlier than her and it would be too late by then.

Xie Zhilan spent more than 20 points to redeem an old hen and 20 free-range eggs.

Originally, she was afraid that the old hen would suddenly appear and fly around and squawk, but she didn't expect that the hen would directly find a place with hay in the kitchen, squat on it, and go straight to sleep.

Xie Zhilan: "..."

Looking at the eggs in her hand, she walked over and stuffed them under the old hen one by one, paying attention to the old hen's reaction while stuffing them. As a result, the old hen just raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Zhilan, and actually raised her buttocks.

Wait until she has finished placing the eggs, then squats down again.

Uh, I'm afraid this is an old mother who has become a sperm?

After making sure that the old hen wouldn't run around on her own, Xie Zhilan felt relieved and turned around to go back to sleep.

As for whether someone would come to deliver things at night, she didn't think much about it.

No matter who gave it to her, she carried the wild boar almost throughout the village today. If someone gave it to her, she would naturally show it, but now it seems that she is not from the village.

Xie Zhilan was originally a little worried that someone was trying to take advantage of her family, but now that she was sure that wasn't the case, she naturally wouldn't take it to heart.
