Become a burden in a period novel

The chicks have hatched, so Qin Wangshu has to prepare enough food for them.

In modern times, chickens are fed with millet or feed. What should she feed them now?

So she had to collect grass seeds and vegetable seeds as quickly as possible so that the chicks would not starve and would grow up quickly to provide her with enough eggs and chicken.

After leaving the space, Qin Wangshu lay back on the bed and prepared to sleep.

The next morning, Qin Wangshu was awakened by the sunshine.

Summer is bad like this, the sun rises too early. After she walked out of the door, she saw Aunt Luo busy in the yard.

"Aunt, you should wake me up." Qin Wangshu came over and prepared to help.

"Go wash up first. The work here is not heavy." Aunt Luo would naturally not wake up Qin Wangshu. She felt distressed every time she saw Qin Wangshu.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do today, so just get some more sleep. Children need more sleep to grow up."

"I'm already sixteen years old, how can I still be a child!" Qin Wangshu felt a little embarrassed.

"Look at your small body, you don't look like you're sixteen years old." Aunt Luo glanced at Qin Wangshu and said, "Okay, the work here is really not hard. Go wash up first, and then have breakfast."

The fate between people is indeed strange. Aunt Luo felt a little distressed when she knew Qin Wangshu, and she felt even more distressed when she saw this little girl.

Not only did she feel sorry for the little girl, but she also got along very well with her. She herself had no daughter, and she got along well with Qin Wangshu, so she wanted to be better to the little girl.

Qin Wangshu scooped some water to wash up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

The breakfast was in the pot, and now it was warm, just the right temperature for eating. Qin Wangshu quickly finished his breakfast and went out to help Aunt Luo.

Aunt Luo was weeding in the vegetable garden. Qin Wangshu went over and squatted beside Aunt Luo to help.

Aunt Luo did not waste the pulled grass and threw it directly into the chicken coop. The two chickens immediately came over and started pecking at the grass.

"Auntie, can these grasses be used to raise chickens?" Qin Wangshu asked curiously.

"Chickens are omnivores and can eat everything." Why are there so many requirements for raising chickens? Besides, many people are not getting enough to eat nowadays, so how can they raise chickens with grain?

Qin Wangshu once saw chickens being released into the fields after the harvest. At that time, there would be some leftover grain, which could be used to feed the chickens.

But in the 1970s, after the harvest, many children would come to pick up the food, and not a single grain would be left behind. Even if the chickens were let out, they would only eat the insects in the fields.

Qin Wangshu did think of using earthworms to feed chickens, but she didn't think there were such little creatures in her space.

Now seeing how Aunt Luo fed the chickens, she had some inspiration.

If that's the case, she doesn't have to collect grass seeds deliberately. As long as it's grass, it will be fine. The chickens will then be able to choose the grass they can eat.

There aren't any insects or other creatures in the space, but if chickens can live in it, then insects should be able to as well.

Qin Wangshu planned to dig some earthworms and put them into the space, but she still had to plant more vegetables. She felt uncomfortable watching all these lands being empty.

"So that's how it is. Auntie, do we have any fruits or anything like that? I want to send some to my classmates." She could plant more fruits and other things, and she would definitely be able to sell them for a good price on the black market.

"There are still fruits, but it's not convenient to mail them." Aunt Luo began to tell Qin Wangshu about the fruits here.

There are common fruits such as peaches, apricots, and pears, and there are also some wild fruits in the mountains, but at this time there are only pears.

Fruits like pears cannot be mailed, after all, fruits will go bad if they are bumped into.

"Why don't you wait until autumn? There are some chestnuts and peanuts here. You can prepare some and send them over." Aunt Luo said after thinking for a while.

Aunt Luo knew who Qin Wangshu was going to send these things to, so she thought more about her.

"Then I'll prepare some." Qin Wangshu responded.

There are quite a few kinds of fruits here. She also saw some mulberry trees beside the fields. It would be nice to eat mulberries in the spring.

Qin Wangshu planned to go outside in the afternoon when it was not so hot to see if she could find some small mulberry trees. Then she would have one more thing to eat.

As for the chestnut peanuts mentioned by Aunt Luo, she would not let them go.

Chestnuts are very filling. When she was losing weight, she read a saying that the calories in a few chestnuts are equivalent to that in a bowl of rice.

Qin Wangshu was busy in the vegetable garden until noon, and she also smuggled a lot of things into her own space. In addition to the grass, she also smuggled some onions and leeks in.

"Okay, we're almost done. The sun is getting high. Let's go back to the house first." Aunt Luo straightened up, looked at the rising sun, and said to Qin Wangshu.

Qin Wangshu put the grass in his hand aside, then gathered the pulled grass together in a cage and took it to the chicken coop over there.

Aunt Luo only has two chickens, both of which are hens. It's not that she doesn't want to raise more, but the policy requires that she can't raise more.

After lunch, Qin Wangshu entered the space again. She planted onions and leeks in the ground, and then planted the garlic she found in the kitchen into the soil.

Seeing the newly planted jujube tree already bearing fruit, she was very happy. She walked over, picked a jujube, wiped it, and ate it directly.

Although the taste was not as good as the one in the yard, it was better than the dates she had eaten before.

These dates are enough for her to eat now. When they ripen next time, she can wait for them to turn red and sell them as dried dates.

The dates here will ripen in batches. As long as we find a way to sell them, we won’t have to worry about living expenses.

There were no birds in the space, and she didn't worry about anything coming to snatch them from her. The dates would stay hanging on the tree until she knocked them down.

As for those grapes, you should keep them for yourself. Using well water to cool them down in the summer is very refreshing.

Qin Wangshu plans to plant a date orchard for herself, and do the same when she finds other fruit trees. This space is too large, and if she wants to farm by herself without modern machinery, she can't grow much.

As for the orchard, if there is space, well water, and no pests, not only will the harvest be good, but it will also be easy. All you have to do is plant the seeds in the right place.

But when there are more fruit trees, she can try to move in a hive of bees. By then, with so many fruit tree flowers here, she can make a lot of honey!

Qin Wangshu's saliva was about to flow when he thought of the sweet honey.
