A pot of chicken soup doesn’t contain much. After all, the chickens these days are far from being as heavy as the chickens raised thirty years later, which can easily weigh over seven or eight kilograms.
The chicken at this moment is basically about four to five pounds. After removing the feathers, internal organs and chicken fat, it is at most a little over three pounds.
Although Uncle Jiu said that it was specially made for Dabao and Xiaobao, adults' bodies are also very heavy. So Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan shared a bowl, and Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan also shared a bowl.
Finally, there was only one bowl of rice cake left, which was specially reserved for Dabao and Xiaobao to eat tomorrow morning.
It was so late, Su Ze personally sent Uncle Jiu home, and after returning, he and Zhou Wanwan went to the next room to rest.
Before Dabao and Xiaobao went to bed, Qiao Jiuru was worried that their illness would relapse, so he gave them both a cold pill as a precaution.
After Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan lay down together, they took Dabao and Xiaobao into the space and sent the two children to sleep on the bed in the bedroom of the courtyard.
"I'll feed the chickens first, then harvest and plant the vegetables, and then quickly clear the land."
After Su Huaiyuan entered the space, he went to work first. Here he was not worried at all that he would not have enough time to sleep.
"I'll make some more steamed buns, boil a pot of pork bone and radish soup, and stew another pot of pig's trotters."
From now on, the whole family will go to the fields to work. They had never been to the ground before, so they must have suffered a lot, so they only worked hard on eating.
Fortunately, they went to Beijing to buy a total of one and a half pigs, as well as a lot of bacon, salted fish, eggs and so on. If they were frugal, they could eat them for at least a year.
However, Qiao Jiuru did not plan to save on food.
"Aru, Aru, there are so many chicks in the chicken coop."
Su Huaiyuan first went to chop the old lady's vegetable leaves and took them to feed the chickens. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the chicken coop, he ran back with the chicken feed and excitedly reported the good news to his wife.
It turned out that these were the hens that were sitting on the nest before, and now they were hatching their chicks!
A large group of goose yellow chicks were chirping in the chicken coop. They were very smart and lively, running around on the ground.
"That's great. Now we don't have to worry about eating chickens or eggs anymore."
Qiao Jiuru was as excited and happy as her husband, and her tone was much lighter.
"Aru, we have never raised chickens."
Not knowing how to feed these little guys, Su Huaiyuan asked his wife this fatal question with both joy and worry.
"Don't worry, I know a little bit. If we can't really do it, we can just ask in secret. But I think we should try raising chickens first. If we ask others without raising any chickens yet, people might get suspicious."
Qiao Jiuru had never raised such small chickens in her life, but she had raised them several times in her previous life. Although her memory was a little vague after a lifetime, she still understood the general idea.
Even if they can only keep half alive in the end, there are dozens of them here, enough for them to sum up their experience.
"Aru, you're right. What should we feed these chicks now?!"
"Water and broken rice. Your mouths are too small and your stomachs are too fragile."
"Okay, then I'll prepare the broken rice."
"No, separate us from the big chickens first, so that the chickens won't steal our rice."
"I'll do it. Aru, go do your own thing and leave this to me."
"OK."
…
After Su Huaiyuan fed all the chickens, he went to harvest the vegetables and planted them again.
Then he started digging new plots. From now on, they will no longer grow coarse grains, but will grow wheat and rice.
After Qiao Jiuru had steamed the buns, she also stewed some bone soup and braised pig's trotters. Then, while these things were stewing, she hurried out to dig the ground with her husband.
The next day, Qiao Jiuru and the others got up before seven o'clock. But before going to bed last night, Qiao Jiuru put the porridge he was going to cook today on the stove in advance, taking advantage of the warm kang at night.
Look, within ten minutes of the family getting up, breakfast is ready for the whole family.
Two white flour buns, an egg, and a large bowl of sweet potato porridge per person are enough to fill someone up.
Before the school bell rang, Su Huaiyuan and his son Su Ze set out for school.
As soon as the two of them left, Qiao Jiuru also went out to look for stones and wood.
"Xiao Wan, you stay at home and look after Dabao and Xiaobao. I'll look around nearby for anything I can find. Just look around and see if there are any wild vegetables to dig. If there's anything wrong, just shout loudly."
"Mom, you should also be careful."
"rest assured."
