After Shen Yanming assembled the chicken coop, Bi Qiaoan opened the lid of the small bamboo basket and put the fluffy chickens into the coop one by one.
The chicks are so small and can't lay eggs yet, so letting them roam freely isn't a bad idea. However, the gaps in the wire mesh around the farmland are quite large, and Bi Qiaoan thought that if the chicks were allowed to roam freely, they might disappear in a couple of days.
Let's wait until they grow bigger and the wire mesh can hold them back before letting them roam around in the field.
After putting all the chicks into the cage, Bi Qiaoan took out her key from her bag and opened the door.
Shen Yanming went inside and looked around, then carried the huge chicken coop to the boundary between his sweet potato field and cornfield and placed it there.
In this way, the chicks can go to the sweet potato field when they want to sunbathe, and hide in the shade of the corn when they don't want to sunbathe.
After settling in, Shen Yanming took a bottle of water from Bi Qiaoan's bag and poured it into the water dispenser. Then he took a bag of millet from his bag and poured it into the food trough.
That's why no one followed them after they entered the field; otherwise, Shen Yanming wouldn't have dared to feed the chicks millet.
However, the location Shen Yanming chose was quite good. It was shaded by corn stalks and far away from the surrounding area. From outside the wire fence, one should not be able to see what was in the feeding trough.
To be on the safe side, Shen Yanming also went to the field and picked a handful of sweet potato leaves, tore them up, and sprinkled them on the millet. From a distance, it looked like he was feeding the chicks grass.
After finishing all this, it was already getting dark, so Bi Qiaoan quickly took out her phone and started taking pictures of her chicks.
After filming ended, Bi Qiaoan uploaded the video to Weibo and then left it at that.
Before leaving the farmland, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan picked a basket of tender sweet potato leaves. Those who came to watch the spectacle, as well as those who were already working in the farmland, were once again bewildered by the two's actions.
Bi Qiaoan then smiled and told everyone about the health benefits of sweet potato leaves, and encouraged everyone to pick the tender leaves, dry them, and use them as vegetables in the winter.
As the two were leaving, Bi Qiaoan saw several old women running into the field to pick sweet potato leaves. "It seems that some people did listen to what I said."
"Of course. After experiencing global rain and then global drought, if you don't learn your lesson, it's a real question whether you can survive in the apocalypse."
Bi Qiaoan sighed, "From now on, we'll have to come here every day. Feeding the chickens is such a hassle!"
Shen Yanming chuckled, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. We have to find a source for our food. Besides, having a kind-hearted fairy in the family is just like that. We're making a contribution to Qinghua Kingdom."
“Let Ji Kangyong and Zhang Heping come and feed the chickens too,” Bi Qiaoan suggested.
"Okay, I'll arrange it when we get back!"
Bi Qiaoan was just saying it casually, but who would have thought that Shen Yanming would actually make the arrangements? However, Zhang Heping was excluded by the two of them, since doctors often have to work night shifts and there was no need to bother him.
They agreed that Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong would each take a day to feed and water the chickens and clean up their droppings. When the hens laid eggs, the profits would be split equally among the three families.
Although Zhang Heping, Ji Kangyong, and Li Zhaozhao had stored up enough supplies before the apocalypse, they didn't buy much meat and eggs, since these things have a very short shelf life. At that time, they could only buy some vacuum-packed braised meat and eggs, and they were very careful to avoid leaking air.
So, the three of them hadn't eaten scrambled eggs in a long time. Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong took a special care of the chicks in the field. Even though Shen Yanming told Zhang Heping to work hard, he still ran to the field whenever he had time, feeding them water and vegetables, and he was almost ready to dig up earthworms from the soil.
Li Zhaozhao's land isn't here, but after Shen Yanming reminded him, he also started raising chickens and ducks in the backyard of his villa. His wife, Wanwan, even had Li Zhaozhao buy two piglets to raise in the backyard.
Although Li Zhaozhao was disgusted that his villa had turned into a pigsty, he would still take a walk in the backyard every day after get off work to see if Little Fatty had grown any bigger.
After returning home, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan first took a hot bath in the space, and then came out and collapsed on the sofa to watch TV.
Bi Qiaoan held a bowl full of ice jelly with fruit and nuts, and said while eating, "Honey, I suspect that the reason I was so dark-skinned in my past life was because of this scorching sun."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanming almost spat out the ice jelly in his mouth. "Isn't everyone's skin dark because of the sun?!"
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that in my past life I always thought that my hands were tanned because I worked in the fields every day and was exposed to the sun too much."
But seeing Sister Liu today, I suddenly realized it might not be because she'd been in the sun too much; it could simply be because she'd been in the sun before.
Shen Yanming seemed to be thinking after hearing this, and Bi Qiaoan continued, "I don't know what it's like abroad, but in my previous life in Qinghua, most people had extremely dark skin."
I think it's probably because everyone was showered with energy rain in this life that the changes in skin color aren't so obvious.
Shen Yanming nodded. "Very likely. In my previous life, I didn't go out much during this period in Europe, so my skin only turned bronze. I thought about it, and it's true that many people get tanned and never regain their original color."
Bi Qiaoan put down her bowl and looked at Shen Yanming with sparkling eyes. "Honey, quick, let's go online and see if people abroad have changed."
Shen Yanming chuckled and shook his head. He still found many foreign netizens' Weibo accounts for Bi Qiaoan. Sure enough, most of them had turned into little black people. Compared to them, the skin color of the people of Qinghua was quite beautiful!
The two laughed and joked around for a while before going to rest. They had to go to work tomorrow, so they couldn't stay up too late tonight.
The next day, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were surrounded by onlookers as soon as they arrived at the office.
Ever since Yu Shui exposed her Weibo account, most people in the office have been following Cha Cha Li.
After seeing Chacha Lifa's video last night, they were immediately drawn to the chicks, so everyone came to the office early today, waiting to ask the couple where they got the chicks and how they raised them.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan did not hide anything and gave Sister Liu's phone number to their colleagues.
However, Shen Yanming also reminded everyone, "The security guards and residents of our community all know this phone number. I estimate that Sister Liu's incubation speed may not be able to keep up. Everyone can use their connections to see if they can find other ways to buy these animal cubs."
Yu Shui immediately thought of the Qinglishan breeding farm, but it was a bit far away, and it didn't seem worth the trip for just a few cubs.
While they were discussing, Zhu Shiliang came in. He didn't ask about the chicks, but instead asked Shen Yanming where the barbed wire was made.
