MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 61

After tasting the taste of rice, Xia Mo and Brother Chou became more concerned about the 25-acre paddy field. The first thing they do when they get up every morning is to walk around the paddy field for fear that the rice seedlings will be damaged.

"They're not that delicate." Lin Ling looked at Xia Mo helplessly, "Come and plant wheat with me today."

Xia Mo was stunned, "Wheat?"

Lin Ling hummed, "It's just flour, and you can crush steamed buns to make noodles in the future."

Mo Xia licked his lips, "Do you have a lot of seeds?"

Lin Ling shook her head and said, "Not much, just a little."

The wheat seeds were distributed to her by the country before, and they only weigh a catty like rice. If you put a few seeds in each pit, you should barely be able to plant an acre of land.

In addition to wheat, Lin Ling also planned to plant the remaining corn and beans together. After a few months, he could use the beans to squeeze soybean oil and cook vegetables. However, it is better to use rapeseed as the oil for cooking. The oil yield is higher and it tastes more delicious.

But right now Lin Ling doesn't have any rapeseeds in hand, so let's plant them when he has some. Take your time, don't be greedy, the days will always get better and better.

The total seeds of wheat, beans, and corn only weighed three catties, and Lin Ling and Xia Mo planted them all in less than a day.

After planting the wheat, there was no more farm work. Lin Ling, who had a rare leisure time, cut his hair in front of the window glass. With a few clicks of the scissors, the shoulder-length hair became ear-length short hair again, simple and neat.

Xia Mo came back from taking a bath in the pond, approached Lin Ling, and said softly, "Sister, I also want to cut it shorter."

Lin Ling looked at Xia Mo, "Shall I help you?"

Xia Mo nodded and said yes.

"Stand over here." Lin Ling pulled Xia Mo to stand next to the glass, and before she asked Xia Mo to take off the hat, Xia Mo took the hat off on his own initiative.

Lin Ling looked at the reflection in the glass and asked, "Same as mine or shorter?"

Xia Mo stared at himself in the glass for a long time, then sighed, and seemed to have made a major decision: "Short."

Lin Ling reached out and touched Xia Mo's soft and wet hair, "How short?"

Xia Mo said, "It's as short as those people's."

Lin Ling thought of the hairstyles of several members of the rescue team, standard size, sharp and clean, really suitable for boys. But she didn't have a board-inch clipper, so she could only use scissors to cut Xia Mo's hair short, "I'll give it a try."

Xia Mo agreed, and trustingly handed over her back and head to Lin Ling.

Lin Ling looked at Mo Xia's relaxed expression, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, picked up the comb and simply began to cut Xia Mo's hair, click, click, click

Ten minutes later, Lin Ling took a face towel and wiped Xia Mo's hair and the stubble on his neck, "Look."

Xia Mo looked at herself in the shadow of the glass window, she used to be like a delicate little girl, but now she has turned into a handsome young lady.

Xia Mo stroked her hair, "It's so short."

"Boys look energetic when they cut their hair short." Lin Ling looked at Mo Xia's cheeks with a little flesh. In fact, Mo Xia's short hair looks good. Before the end of the world, children must be very popular with the aunts.

Xia Mo looked at himself printed upside down on the glass, and felt that he was becoming more and more manly, "I like this."

Xiaolu stared at the end of Xia, and couldn't help shaking the leaves: I also want to be so good-looking.

Lin Ling glanced at Xiaolu, who was joining in the fun: "Do you want to cut off all your leaves? You'll look like a Y after you cut them off."

Little Green imagined it for a moment, it was as ugly as a tree branch, it immediately shook its head and said: I am fine like this.

"Hey, your hat." Lin Ling handed Xia Mo the most cherished hat to Xia Mo.

Xia Mo took the hat and looked at the not-so-fine patches on the hat. Now he felt that he didn't need this hat to face all people and things bravely. He held the hat tightly and said: " I won't wear a hat anymore."

Lin Ling was stunned for a moment. Don't children feel safe only when they wear hats?

Xia Mo didn't explain, but said to Lin Ling very seriously: "I will protect you from now on."

Lin Ling froze for a moment, smiled and said yes.

She didn't ask too much. It's a good thing for a child to come out of bad memories, and it's also a good thing to stand up like a man. Such a happy thing, she decided to make a cabbage and egg soup to celebrate at night.

Just as Lin Ling made up her mind, she heard the clucking and clucking of a hen from the chicken coop.

"The eggs are laid, I'm going to pick them up." Mo Xia quickly ran towards the chicken coop, and Little Green, Brother Chou and Myna quickly followed, "Aren't there three too today?"

"It's three." Xia Mo carefully held the egg in his hand, fearing that he would drop the hard-won egg, "Myna, don't stand in my way, you'll have to pay for it if you drop it."

"We'll eat it if we fall." If Lin Ling hadn't watched closely, mynah would have gone to steal the egg and eat it.

"These eggs are used to incubate chicks, so they cannot be eaten." Xia Mo put the eggs into the basket that usually holds eggs. Before he knew it, the basket was full of eggs. He counted carefully, and it seemed that there were sixty. one.

He ran up to Lin Ling mysteriously: "Sister, guess how many eggs there are?"

Lin Ling counted the days. It has been nearly half a month since she came home from that forest. She picked up three eggs every day and now there should be forty-five. "Fifty."

"Including the ones brought back from the forest, there are sixty-one in total. If we haven't eaten some, there should be seventy." Xia Mo counted carefully, "I can't eat any more in the future."

Lin Ling deliberately teased him, "Don't you like to eat?"

"I like it." Thinking of the smell of fried eggs, Xia Mo swallowed subconsciously, paused and said, "Save some, I'll hatch chicks in the future."

Lin Ling looked at Mo Xia as a little housekeeper who was careful with budgeting, and had a feeling of "my family has a baby who is just growing up". "Sixty or so eggs are enough, we will start hatching chicks now."

"Now?" Xia Mo raised his voice in shock, "Is it going to hatch now?"

"Well, the earlier the hatching, we'll eat the chicken earlier." Lin Ling took out her mobile phone, looked at the chicken raising guide sent to her by '1200', and studied it carefully: "First of all, we need to choose the fertilized chicken. eggs, then set the incubator at a constant temperature of 38 degrees..."

Xia Mo looked at the phone in Lin Ling's hand suspiciously: "What is an incubator?"

Lin Ling replied, "It's a kind of machine."

Xia Mo: "Do we have any?"

"No."

"Then what to do?"

"It's okay, there is a second way." Lin Ling continued: "You can use a hen to incubate eggs. You need to observe the state of the hen first. When the hen lies in the nest for a long time, it does not like to eat or drink. Dull and hyperthermic means it's time for the hen to hatch her chicks..."

Lin Ling looked at a few hens with bright feathers leisurely pecking around the yard in embarrassment, as if this method would not work.

Xia Mo was very disappointed: "Can't you?"

Lin Ling stared at the hens scurrying around: "None of them have a tendency to brood."

Myna flew to Lin Ling's shoulder and volunteered, "I can hatch eggs."

"You?" Lin Ling looked at mynah suspiciously, but she had never heard that a male mynah could hatch eggs.

Mynah puffed up his chest, "Yes, I can hatch eggs."

Not to be outdone, Xiaolu stood upright: I can do it too.

The starling rushed to say, "I hatch faster."

Little Green Akimbo: I hatch smarter.

"...Don't make trouble." Lin Ling interrupted the comparison of one bird and one vine, lowered his head and continued to look at his mobile phone. There are only two ways to hatch chicks. Right now, he either waits for the hen to nest, or goes to the city to find an incubator.

At the end of Xia, he looked at the eggs in the basket unwillingly, frowned delicately, thought of something, and suddenly ran towards the place where the chicken ancestor lived.

He pushed open the door and walked into the chicken ancestor's room, and found that the chicken ancestor was lying in the soft chicken coop, with his legs crossed like a big guy, with a straw in his mouth, turning his head to take a sip of water from time to time The water in the basin is very leisurely.

"Chicken Ancestor." Xia Mo squatted next to Chicken Ancestor's chicken coop, looking at Big Brother Chicken with a sincere face, "We have saved sixty-one eggs, and we will soon be able to hatch chicks."

The chicken ancestor still has confidence in the fertility of the offspring, and he clucked a few times to show that he knew it.

Xia Mo stared at the chicken ancestor without blinking, "We want to hatch chicks now, can you help?"

The chicken ancestor stood up: help what?

Xia Mo smiled and said, "Help hatch the chicks."

The ancestor chicken has not laid eggs and hatched chickens for many years, and it is not at all willing to return to its old job and be a brooding hen.

So, Ancestor Chicken resolutely rejected Xia Mo.

"Just help us, the sooner the chicks hatch, the sooner you can eat meat." Xia Mo applied Lin Ling's method of coaxing people to work on the chicken ancestor, "You just help us." Help yourself."

Xiaolu, who was stealing by the door, shivered a little, why is the little poor boy becoming more and more good at fooling people now?

Lin Ling also thinks that the chicken ancestor is the most suitable candidate, and it has fire-breathing abilities. Its body temperature is higher than that of ordinary laying hens, and it is the most suitable chicken for hatching chicks.

So she went in and added a bait: "I can make roast chicken, roast chicken, white-cut chicken, and Bobo chicken. If I can raise chicks earlier, I can make these delicious foods for you as soon as possible."

The chicken ancestor really couldn't help but ask: Is it really delicious?

"It's absolutely delicious!" Lin Ling looked at Ji Zuzong with a smile, "Do you want to eat it?"

The chicken ancestor spread his wings and patted the chicken coop: "Bring the eggs."

"Immediately." Lin Ling went back to the yard and looked carefully at the eggs in the basket with a flashlight. After inspection, a total of forty-five eggs were fertilized/fertilized/eggs.

Put all the eggs that could be hatched into the chicken coop, and then the ancestor chicken walked over with its big buttocks twisted and squatted down, covering all forty-five eggs with its fluffy feathers.

Lin Ling nervously watched the movements of Ji Zuzong, for fear of hearing a click.

After the chicken ancestor sat down, Lin Ling was relieved that he didn't hear the sound of the egg breaking. It seemed that the chicken ancestor was lighter than she thought.

The chicken ancestor quickly entered the state, squinting his eyes and dozing off while hatching eggs.

"Call us if you need anything." Lin Ling quietly left the house after explaining something, followed by Xia Mo and Brother Chou, and they were going out to plant trees and water the fields.

Xiaolu and mynah were very curious about the chicken ancestor hatching chicks, and kept guarding beside the chicken coop. After watching for a while, Xiaolu asked mynah in a low voice: Do you want to hatch one?

The starling turned his head and glanced at the down feathers that had just grown on his buttocks, and he thought it should be fine: try it?
