I farmed and raised children in ancient times

Chapter 10 Raising Chickens
The whole family has been busy all day, and they are relieved when they carry all the harvested wheat back home!

Although there are still some that have not been harvested, the summer harvest can be completed in less than two days at this speed.

Other families in the village have sufficient male labor force, and many of them have already harvested and prepared for autumn planting, but their family is a little slower.

"Mom, take a break and I'll cook."

Xie Zhilan was also very tired. If she was her previous life, she probably wouldn't last until the afternoon.But Xie Lan is used to doing farm work, and she still has a lot of strength, so although she feels very tired at the moment, it is not to the point where she cannot move.

Looking at her back, Mrs. Chen took a deep breath, and called her son to her.

"Your sister really said it was a wild boar sent by Huzi's father?" Chen asked in a low voice.

Xie Qing didn't think too much, and nodded immediately, "That's fake? By the way, mother, what about wild boar? My sister also said that if people in the village want to eat wild boar, they can buy it with money!"

Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, and said for a while, "Why is this not like your sister? She didn't like to associate with those people in the village before."

"Mother, she didn't like to socialize with people before, and you always scolded her, isn't it good now?" Xie Qing said disapprovingly.

Chen choked, and glared at him angrily, "Since you want to sell wild pork, why don't you hurry up and boil the water?"

"okay!"

Although the taste of wild boar meat is not so good, it is still meat, right?And it's a whole pig.

Xie Qing had long forgotten his exhaustion, and joyfully took Xie Lin, his little nephew, to fetch and boil water.

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

The yard of the Xie family is not very big, but a clean place has been specially reserved for threshing grain. Mrs. Chen came over with a stick and started threshing wheat. The whole family was busy and lively.

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

In fact, she now has more than 130 points. After all, she and Xie Qing are just walking around the village with their heads up. It's already annoying enough.

Rural people mostly cook porridge in summer, and if the conditions are better, a few steamed buns and a plate of pickles are basically a meal.

Xie Zhilan wanted her family to eat better, and she couldn't look away for a long time looking at the things in the abundant farm supermarket.

How to do?Or, at night, she will exchange some things and continue to use the banner of Huzi's father?
"Sister—boil the water and prepare to kill the pig!"

A cry brought Xie Zhilan back to her thoughts, and she withdrew her gaze from the system. She inadvertently saw boards of eggs, and her eyes lit up immediately!
Xie's 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 have some grains and porridge!

However, now that there are eggs, can some chicks be hatched and raised?

The chicken lays the egg, the egg lays the chicken, the chicken lays the egg...

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

Originally, she wanted to increase the output of the family's crops, but now that the summer harvest is not over, she is not in a hurry, and it is the right time to raise chickens.

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

Xie Zhilan was immediately happy!

She took a closer look at the price, and it only took two points to redeem five high-quality local eggs, so it was not expensive after all.The most important thing is that she now has enough points and can afford it.

However, the problem of hatching made her face a difficult situation.

[Host, you can exchange for an incubator]

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

[The host can consider exchanging for an old hen, which will be responsible for incubating 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 told you before that the quality and quantity of the products produced by this system are absolutely guaranteed, and there is no deception! 】

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

【of course!If the host doesn't believe it, you can try it!Due to level restrictions, large livestock cannot provide such live animals for the time being, but small poultry are still available. 】

Ok!

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

"Twenty points for an old hen? So expensive??" Xie Zhilan couldn't help but click her tongue when she saw 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 Huzi's father is going to ask someone to bring an old hen and a bunch of eggs tonight...

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

Xie Zhilan cut some tender wild pork, secretly exchanged some seasonings and stir-fried a large plate, and then exchanged a portion of vegetables and fried them with lard, one meat and one vegetable, although the amount was small, it was definitely nutritious Much better than before.

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

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

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

"Huzi's father gave it, but the gift is relatively small, and it will be used up in one meal!"

Chen: "..."

Now this girl is fooling herself so that her expression doesn't change?

Although I don't want to be angry, I am still very angry! !
After tidying up, Xie Zhilan boiled water again and let the family take turns to take a bath. Chen was surprised that her daughter suddenly became clean, but Xie Lan said that being too dirty would make her sick easily, and she needed to see a doctor and spend money on medicines ...

When money was mentioned, Mrs. Chen stopped talking, after all, her family was poor.

However, after taking a bath, it was really comfortable, so much so that Mrs. Chen originally planned to have a good chat with her daughter about 'Tiger's father', but she fell asleep after leaning against the head of the bed not long after.

Seeing it, Xie Zhilan carefully supported her to lie down, and covered her with a thin quilt.She turned around to look at Xie Qing and Xie Lin who had already fallen asleep, and then quietly entered the kitchen.

She had to exchange the old hen and eggs to find a place to store them, otherwise Chen Shi and Xie Qing got up earlier than her, and by then it would be too late.

Xie Zhilan spent more than [-] points in exchange for an old hen and [-] native eggs.

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

Xie Zhilan: "..."

Looking at the eggs in her hand, she walked over and stuffed the old hen's body one by one, paying attention to the old hen's reaction while stuffing it, but the old hen just raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Zhilan, and actually raised her butt Wait for her to finish laying the eggs, then squat down again.

Uh, I'm afraid this is just an old hag who has become a spirit?

After making sure that the old hen would not run around by herself, Xie Zhilan was relieved, turned around and went back to sleep.

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

Whoever sent it, she carried the wild boar around almost the whole village today, if someone gave it to her, she would show it, but now it seems that she is not from the village.

Xie Zhilan was originally a little worried that someone would hit their family's idea, but now that she is sure it is not, then she will naturally not take it to heart, anyway, she will not eat it for nothing.
