However, raising chickens is not as simple as it seems. After all, they can't just be kept in cages and survive. This requires an extra amount of food, which adds to the burden. Fortunately, the shelter is not far from the sea, where there are plenty of small snails and scallops.
Some are only the size of a fingernail, and there's hardly any meat in them, but the offal is perfect for feeding chickens.
The hen and chicks must not have eaten for a long time. After settling the chickens in, we quickly went to the beach to get some food. Naituan and Dameizi went too.
They still worked together, with him in charge of finding the big ones, while the milk ball only needed to pick up the smaller ones to feed the chickens. The more they ate, the more nutrition they got and the more eggs they laid. Ideally, they would lay one egg a day.
As for the younger sister, she'll just leave it to fate. She'll pick up as many as she can, but even if she does find some, she'll still have to sift through them. If she finds something poisonous, it's no joke.
After so many days of rain, although they weren't hungry, they hadn't lit a fire or eaten anything hot for three days. The firewood they had gathered was still drying in the sun.
After collecting them, we smashed all the tiny snails and put them in the chicken coop. We also filled a bamboo tube with water, which initially startled the pheasants.
But eating is the instinct of all species. He stepped back a few paces, and soon the pheasants began to eat. Animals that are willing to be fed can be tamed.
Li Sheng tried several times with dry grass before he finally lit a fire. He put a pot full of water on it, and the water quickly boiled. He cracked six eggs into a bowl, beat them well, and poured them into the pot. A rich aroma of eggs wafted out, and the smell alone was irresistible, let alone the taste.
After eating this for almost half a month, I can finally change things up.
Then I added a large handful of cleaned wild vegetables and sprinkled a little salt on them before taking the dish out of the pot.
This pot of wild vegetable and egg soup was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. He couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful to taste it, and sure enough, it tasted exactly as he had imagined.
This girl is exceptionally enthusiastic about eating. She usually plays with the baby girl, but whenever Li Sheng cooks, she follows him around like a shadow.
When she smelled the aroma, she jumped up and down next to Li Sheng. After seeing Li Sheng taste it, she couldn't wait to grab the bowl and tug at Li Sheng's arm. She was practically ready to talk.
Li Sheng took the bowl from the younger sister, but didn't rush to serve it: "Don't rush, it's hot, let it cool down first."
The young woman couldn't understand anything and kept circling around Li Sheng. She almost knocked over the pot in her excitement until Li Sheng got angry and yelled at her, which finally made her behave.
Although the gorillas cannot understand human speech, they can still judge Li Sheng's emotions by the tone of their voices.
She immediately let out a pitiful whimper, which broke the baby's heart: "Daddy, can't you just give it a bowl first?"
Li Sheng shook his head seriously and explained, "No, there must be rules. No matter how human-like it is, it's still an animal. Just like monkeys, there's a hierarchy among gorillas. If we always let it have its way, it will think it's the boss."
The little girl seemed to be thinking, and didn't beg her father anymore. Instead, she gave the fruit in her hand to the gorilla, patted its head, and comforted it in a childish voice: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be sad, little sister. You'll definitely get to eat some later."
After being comforted by the milk ball, her aggrieved look disappeared. However, this time she didn't follow Li Sheng around; instead, she turned her back to him, clearly indicating that she was angry.
Li Sheng ignored him and filled three large bamboo tubes with soup. However, not everyone received the same amount. Although Naituan's portion was smaller, it had the most eggs. Li Sheng's portion was more balanced. The largest portion was for Da Meizi, since she had a big appetite and ate a lot. However, there wasn't much soup in her portion.
The main dish, of course, is seafood. He originally wanted to catch some kind of pheasant and make coconut chicken, but his luck was a bit too good. It turned out to be a brood of hens with chicks, so there was nothing he could do.
Everything is for the sake of sustainable development.
After the meal was prepared, the young woman was still angry. Li Sheng took the food and walked behind her, patted her on the shoulder. This young woman was not much different from human women; she shook her body and ignored Li Sheng, throwing a little tantrum.
When Li Sheng held the bamboo tube containing the egg and wild vegetable soup in front of the young woman, she glanced at it and made a soft "hmm" sound, but didn't take it. Li Sheng held it in front of her without leaving. The young woman looked at it a second time, but her resolve remained firm. This young woman wasn't so easily coaxed.
However, the temptation of this egg drop soup was just too great. I looked at it a third time, a fourth time, a fifth time, a sixth time, and the frequency of looking at it increased. Finally, on the eighth time, I walked over with a sense of grievance and took the bamboo tube from my hand.
He popped a mouthful into his mouth, completely forgetting his unhappiness, and cheered again, starting to circle around Li Sheng.
Eagerly, it sat down at the dining area with Li Sheng. Li Sheng had already picked out food for the little sister, all of which were things that he and the milk ball didn't like. However, it wasn't picky about food and would eat anything. It only had likes and likes for any food. Even the durian that it started with had now become the little sister's favorite.
After finishing his meal, Li Sheng continued to work. He looked at the cultivated land, which should have been planted with wild vegetables according to the schedule, but the rain had delayed it. Now that the rain had stopped, it was time to go into the forest and find all the wild vegetables.
This time, Li Sheng had a mini stone hoe in his hand, only the size of a palm and the length of an arm, perfect for digging things in the forest.
An axe is already a big and heavy thing, and it would be very inconvenient to carry a large stone hoe on top of that. So, the straw raincoat was made into a small stone hoe, and the first place to go was the wild onion marker.
Onions are a condiment that he and his daughter both like, especially eggs and onions go best together.
Soon, I arrived at the gathering place of wild onions with ease. There was a large and dense clump. Without hesitation, I dug up all the wild onions, roots and all the soil, and put them into my basket. I was very careful when digging to make sure I didn't damage the roots.
When he brought them back to the shelter, he separated the dense scallions into two or three plants, planting two or three plants every five centimeters. The dense clump he brought back was quickly spread out evenly, covering two square meters. Planting them separately made it easier for them to absorb nutrients and grow. Anyway, he had cultivated twenty or thirty square meters of land, so he didn't need that much.
The spacing between each one is the same, and the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal strokes are very neat. It's a relief for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The soil was still wet from the rain, so there's no need to water them after transplanting.
The climate here is very conducive to plant growth, so there's no need to worry about them dying and wasting your efforts.
After shallots, there are other wild vegetables, such as wild shepherd's purse, chicory, and some mint to plant...
