Chapter 66: Daily Farming
The night passed quickly, and on the next morning, Su Qingwu went to the area where the white-feathered chickens lived and found six more magical eggs.
She used her spiritual power to pick it up from the air, brought it into the bamboo house, and placed it in a newly woven basket.
Not long after, a creaking sound was heard in the distance.
The white-feathered chickens had already eaten all the grains that were sown yesterday.
Seeing their owner taking the eggs but not feeding them, they wanted to give a slight reminder in this way...
After hearing the cry, Su Qingwu walked back to the corresponding area, took out a handful of white corn and black rice from the storage bag, and scattered them evenly on the ground.
When the white-feathered chicken saw the food, it immediately stopped calling and lowered its head to peck at the food quickly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Qingwu performed several cleaning techniques in succession to clean the chicken coop.
The slight odor that was originally there disappeared instantly.
Looking at the white-feathered chicken pecking at the food with its head down, she thought of the more than 200 Huiling herbs in the storage bag.
He tried to take out one, held it in his hand, and squatted down. The nearest white-feathered chicken saw it, ran over quickly, and pecked at the light blue spiritual plant.
The remaining nine were not willing to be left behind and rushed over all at once.
Seeing this, Su Qingwei took out a few more plants.
White-feathered chickens peck at food faster than grains, but that doesn't mean they like it very much. It just means they don't hate it and it's part of their diet.
In the past, when she had other poultry at home, she often fed them in this way.
No matter whether it is vegetable leaves or other food, as long as it is held in the hands, others will fight over it and eat it first. If it is scattered on the ground, they will also eat it, but they will not fight over it too much and will not peck at it as quickly.
Thinking of this, Su Qingwu waved his sleeves and took out more than ten Huiling herbs, along with some remaining roots in his hand, and threw them lightly to a distance.
The next moment, six white-feathered chickens chased over and slowly pecked at the food.
The remaining four dispersed and started eating the spiritual grain again.
Looking at this scene, Su Qingwu said in his heart, "As expected."
The habits of these spiritual birds are similar to those of ordinary birds.
In fact, it is easy to understand from their perspective.
After all, the food in their hands is limited, and scarcity makes things valuable, so they scramble to eat it. Once it is dropped, they will subconsciously think that there will be more in the future and will no longer cherish it.
If Huiling Grass is sold in the market, ordinary quality ones cost one Lingshi for ten plants, superior quality ones cost one Lingshi for three plants, and perfect quality ones cost one Lingshi for one plant.
Of the more than 200 Huiling Grasses that were left behind, only a small proportion were of perfect or superior quality, and they could not be sold for many spirit stones.
Now that it was confirmed that this spiritual plant was in the diet of white-feather chickens, Su Qingwu immediately changed his original decision and prepared to use these spiritual herbs as feed, feeding them a little bit every day.
In this way, the food is no longer monotonous, which is beneficial to the health of white-feathered chickens.
In addition, there are many kinds of spiritual plants planted in the thousands of acres of spiritual fields. Due to their own particularity, some of the spiritual plants need to be regularly cleaned of their overly lush leaves, otherwise it will be difficult for them to grow to maturity.
At that time, the excess leaves can be picked off and used as feed for white-feathered chickens.
......
After a cup of tea, Su Qingwu came to the fish pond area.
After observing carefully for a while and confirming that the one thousand fish fry were in good condition, she took out a handful of spiritual grain, used her spiritual power to crush it into powder, and then scattered it into the pond.
The fish fry that were originally swimming everywhere smelled the fragrance of food and quickly gathered nearby to eat the fish food.
Su Qingwu looked for a while, then turned around and went back to the bamboo house.
Fifty colorful birds are now scattered throughout the spiritual fields, searching for pests as food, so there is no need for additional feeding.
Fortunately, we have these helpers, otherwise it would take a lot of effort every day just to exterminate the pests in the thousands of acres of spiritual fields.
It was not yet time for breakfast and he was feeling hungry. Su Qingwu had already eaten a lot of white-feathered eggs yesterday. Now he simply took out ten purple taro and three-color potatoes harvested from the spiritual field, put them on the stove, and roasted them over the fire.
When it is half baked, a fragrant aroma will hit your nose.
After waiting for about half a cup of tea, she extinguished the fire and used her spiritual power to take out the roasted purple taro and tri-color potato through the air.
The surface is black and breaks into pieces when touched. It's probably overcooked.
Peel off the skin of a purple taro, and the pale purple taro flesh will immediately appear before your eyes.
Su Qingwu tried to take a bite and found that it was very hard and tasteless.
This food can easily fill you up. After eating one, not only will your hunger disappear, but your appetite will also decrease a lot.
Looking at the remaining few, she waved her sleeves and put them into a storage bag that could preserve them.
With the idea of not wasting food, I ate only purple taro and tri-color sweet potato for two consecutive days.
The latter has a soft and glutinous texture with a hint of sweetness, which is Su Qingwu's favorite type.
As for the former, she has decided not to eat it anymore...
......
After staying in the space for five consecutive days, Su Qingwu watered the spiritual plants, fed the spiritual birds, meditated and practiced every day, leading a simple and comfortable life.
The spiritual energy in this space is rich. If you meditate here, you can absorb nearly twice as much spiritual energy as those in the outside world in the same amount of time.
Five days later, he temporarily left the space and returned to the bluestone courtyard, performing the Spring Breeze Rain Spell and the Small Spirit Rain Spell to water the hidden thread grass.
Since most of them have just been planted, there are no problems with insects and diseases, so there is no need to worry too much.
In the four water tanks, some red blood lotus and green leaf lotus have grown again.
Su Qingwu took out a little spiritual grain, ground it into powder, and sprinkled it into the tank to feed the sixteen carps.
As for the seven-legged insect that stayed quietly in the corner of the yard, she tried to feed it some, but found that it didn't like to eat the spiritual grain, so she took out a spiritual grass, but it didn't like to eat it either.
In the end, she chose to feed it with the few remaining soul-feeding pills.
After that, she tried to contact the seven-legged insect through the spirit beast contract. After some communication, she finally determined several kinds of spiritual plants that it liked to eat, such as red leaf fruit, earth pattern grass and water vine pepper, which happened to be planted in the space.
One Soul-Feeding Pill could keep the seven-legged insect from being hungry for half a month. When the Soul-Feeding Pills were finished, she would pick some spiritual plants that the seven-legged insect liked to eat and feed them every few days.
After dealing with the matters in the courtyard, Su Qingwu returned to the Yuqing Mirror space.
Just like this, day after day, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon that day, she received a message from the colorful cuckoo in the contract, saying that a small number of spiritual fields had become diseased.
Upon hearing the news, Su Qingwu rushed over immediately and found that the spiritual fields in question were planted with water pepper.
A few black spots appeared on some of the emerald green leaves.
After careful inspection, it was found to be black rot.
This disease, like yellow spot, is highly contagious.
Without hesitation, she pulled up all the infected plants, took the reeds, and burned them.
But the story doesn't end here.
Early the next morning, Su Qingwu discovered some new water peppers infected with the disease.
Was it because the previous treatment was not thorough and there were omissions, leading to the spread of the virus? Or was it that the soil in the surrounding area was contaminated and had to be treated with appropriate chemicals?
Su Qingwu leaned towards the latter, because she had carefully checked several times yesterday, and with Duocai Yu helping to watch over her, the probability of missing something was extremely low...
