Xu Yin strode back home carrying the stones. After leveling them, she began to rebuild the toilet.
She moved the solid wood toilet in the house to the toilet, cut a hole in the bottom of the toilet that matched the cross-section of the thick bamboo, and put a thick bamboo with the inside open. The bamboo was roasted by fire and then bent, and the other end was Leading into a manure pit.
A ditch is dug at the entrance of the pig pen leading to the manure pit. The pig manure that is cleaned up will flow into the manure pit along with the washed dirty water.
Go back and cut some flat stone slabs to lay on the gutter.
In addition, she measured the dimensions, dug another pit next to the cesspit, and covered it with a stone slab, specifically for fermenting kitchen waste. In order to make it easier to scoop out organic fertilizer, a skylight is opened on the stone slab and can be covered when not in use.
For aesthetic reasons, she also transplanted a circle of azaleas, also known as azaleas, around the two fermentation tanks.
Ling Lake watered it twice, and the rhododendrons that were about to wither bloomed again, which suddenly upgraded her backyard to more than one level.
With the fermentation container in hand, she poured the ground bone powder, fish scales and fish offal, dried vegetables and weeds, eggshell peels, etc. into the fermentation tank through the slate skylight. When the time was up, she picked it up and fertilized the ground. .
After finishing this work, the weeds appeared again in the ground.
Xu Yin was pulling weeds while thinking about how to weed efficiently.
She doesnt want to be **** in the field by weeds every day.
Aunt in the lobby

Goudan ran to the field to find her with a smile on his face:
"Auntie, my hens have hatched chicks! Didn't you say last time that you wanted to raise a few chickens to peck at the spicy caterpillars under the tree? My mother asked me to ask you how many you want in total."
Hearing this, Xu Yin instantly thought of something: Thats right! How could she forget such a good partner as poultry?
Chickens are raised in the forest and ducks are raised in the rice fields!
Ducks raised in rice fields can effectively eliminate weeds and prevent insect pests, killing two birds with one stone!
arrange!
Arrange now!
Huh? Goudan was dumbfounded, Duckling? But I dont have any ducks at home!
Xu Yin said: "I know. Please ask me who raises ducks. They have recently hatched ducklings. Give me a few. I want all your chickens."
"oh oh."
Godan went home with a confused look on his face.
In the evening, Xu Yin was collecting mushrooms and herbs that had been drying for a day in the yard, and Goudanniang came over carrying a basket on her back.
"Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, I heard from Goudan that you want to raise ducks? The female duck raised by my mother-in-law just hatched a litter of ducklings last month. It has been more than 20 days since they hatched. I gave a few to others, and the rest They are all here, take a look at how many you want, its up to you to choose.
Dawa Village has a well-developed water system, and there are many families raising ducks. They usually raise a few ducks near rivers or lakes. They let them out during the day and let them find food on their own, and then bring them back in the evening.
Although they are often lost along the way, either caught and roasted by sneaky scoundrels, or carried away by other wild animals, even if there are only one or two left during the New Year, there will still be an extra meat dish on the New Year's Eve dinner table. Good luck surviving. The rate is high, and it can be sold to restaurants in town to buy winter coats, quilts and other heating supplies for the family.
Although the winter here is not like thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow in the north, it is also uncomfortable to be wet and cold.
Xu Yin glanced at the fluffy yellow ducks in the basket, huddled together and pecking at wild vegetables. She roughly counted about ten of them, and immediately said, "I want them all."
Although Goudanniang was surprised, she didnt say much.
In my heart, I once again had a different view of Meng Jins wife: Can someone who is willing to raise so many poultry be a lazy person? Ms. Cuis wife is really good at talking nonsense.
Goudanniang left the duckling behind, took the money according to the market price, and went back. She was running errands on behalf of her mother's family, and she was too embarrassed to make the decision to give Meng Jin's daughter-in-law a cheaper price, so she thought of charging her a few cents less when she delivered the chickens later.
Xu Yin fed these ducklings water and food, and naturally added some Linghu water to the clear water to improve their survival rate and disease resistance.
The next day, put them into baskets and carry them to the fields.
In the first few days, the ducklings were allowed to get familiar with the two acres of paddy field. They pecked grass, ate insects and snails in the field, and she pulled out the taller weeds.
When the ducks are older, she will come back and let them roam the fields foraging for food, then pick them up and take them home in the evening.
There is a sense of dj vu as if you are taking your kid to kindergarten.
Perhaps she was famous for kicking a big wild boar to death, but no blind fool would dare to steal her duck.
Fifteen ducklings just soaked in the paddy field and grew up day by day.
The strong daughter-in-law who was pulling weeds in the field next door was very puzzled when she saw her raising ducks in the rice field: "Meng Jin's wife, why did you drive the ducks into the field? Aren't you afraid that they would peck the rice and eat it?"
Xu Yin: "They are still small now and cannot peck at the millet. When they get bigger and the rice fields are drained, I will drive them to the lakes and ponds."
Then why dont you go to the pond now? There is only so much water in the rice fields, so ducks have to be raised in rivers or lakes.
Xu Yin said that raising ducks in rice fields has many benefits. Not only can they eliminate insects and weeds, but the excrement they produce can also fertilize the fields.
The strong wife was dumbfounded: What are the benefits of raising ducks in the fields? real or fake?
When I went back and told my family, they were also dubious.
Cui Dazhuang was particularly skeptical: "Ducks raised in rice fields really can't eat millet? If they even eat millet, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
Meng Jins wife said that her ducks are still small. When they get bigger and can eat rice ears, they will rush to the lakes and ponds.
"Yes, her family just raised ducklings not long ago." Cui Dazhuang suddenly realized, "Our ducks can reach the ears of rice by raising their necks. Isn't it like driving them into the rice fields like a wolf entering the sheepfold? It's better not to take the risk. This is dangerous."
"We definitely won't take the risk this year. Let's wait until the millet is harvested and see how much Meng Jin's family produces. If the production doesn't decrease, we can keep it like this next year, which will at least save some labor. I don't think Meng Jin's wife has come to weed recently. "
Cui Dazhuang:
Da Zhuang's wife suddenly thought of a possibility: "Do you think Meng Jin's wife raised ducks because she was too lazy to pull weeds? Didn't her mother-in-law always say that she is delicious and lazy?"
Its not impossible.
No matter what the reason is, everyone is waiting to see if the advantages of raising ducks in rice fields really outweigh the disadvantages.
The disadvantage is of course a reduction in rice production.
This one disadvantage is worth countless advantages.
Xu Yin didnt know that some villagers were watching her rice field. She put the ducks in the field and went home to do other things.
Two days ago, Goudanniang brought over chickens that were ten days old, and the ducks were too big to cover a large basket, so she cut some bamboo in the past two days and built a nest for the chickens and ducks.
Eight chickens and fifteen ducks make a big nest, and they have to be separated.
Fortunately, bamboo can be chopped and branches can be easily broken, so it is very convenient to obtain materials locally.
The starlight does not care about the traveler, and time pays off to those who are diligent!
