"Boss, please give me a little discount. I want more."
Xu Shan thought about it and decided that after this batch was ready, she wouldn't have to buy more next year. She could just let the old hens sit on the brood and hatch the chicks herself.
After haggling with the boss for a long time, I finally got 60 cents for the hen.
They asked for two thousand hens, one thousand ducks, and one hundred roosters.
There are fewer males and more females.
Xu Shan asked his boss to take him to the West Pier near Guicun.
Quickly deliver the things bought in advance to the island.
Then he went back and pulled out chicks and ducklings.
In the first few days, Xu Shan did not let them roam freely, but kept them in the house and took good care of them every day.
When you are young, you are the most careful. If you are not careful, you may die.
She was not idle during the daytime these days. She wore thick gloves and cut down many not very thick trees, then cut them into one-meter-high wooden sticks to prepare for making fences.
It’s such a large area that it might take a month to fence it off.
The chicks grew up slowly. During these dozens of days, more than twenty chicks died, which was not a big loss.
Xu Shan first built a small fence for them and let them move around in the grass and woods.
Building this fence was a huge project. It took her half a month to build only a few hundred meters.
The main reason for blocking them tightly is to prevent them from coming out through the gaps.
Xu Shan used the straw on the island to build a chicken coop and a duck coop for them.
They don’t have to worry about drinking water, as they can find water by themselves in the streams flowing down from the mountains.
The stream has many forks, and this one is not the one she drinks from.
Some ducks also found many stranded puddles and played in them. I didn't feed them much because they had learned to find insects to eat on their own.
There's not much on this mountain, except for bugs.
When I went up the mountain today, I actually found an orange tree, but it was growing in the cracks of the rocks. It must have been there for a few years, and it was not very thick. Xu Shan thought of her space. She had not planted anything since she discovered it.
So Xu Shan dug out the orange and planted it in the space.
Except for a few thick trees, she cut down all the others.
As a result, when I went to the space the next day, I saw that the trees were lush and seemed to have grown a lot.
Wow, that's incredible.
Xu Ya had her period today, so she didn't go to build the guardrail. Instead, she pulled out the weeds in the small vacant lot on the west side of the house, tidied the land, and planted some vegetables for daily consumption.
She bought onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans at the market.
Pumpkin, winter melon, loofah, eggplant, pepper, anyway, I planted everything I could think of.
Xu Shan also bought a lot of seeds. If she didn’t grow enough to eat, she would plant them directly in the space. One seed would mature in the morning.
After you pick the fruit, it will not wither and new fruit will grow in the afternoon.
For example, she planted watermelon, cantaloupe, tomato, beans, cucumber, and winter melon in the space.
You won’t have to worry about having vegetables to eat in the future.
The afternoon sea breeze was so cool. After Xu Shan finished tidying up the vegetable garden, she went to the beach again and took a shower in her clothes.
I've been here for a month, and although I haven't learned anything else, I've almost learned how to swim.
I'm still a bit of a novice at rowing, but it won't be like the first time when it took me an hour to row from the other side.
It will take just over ten minutes to get there.
Xu Shan has now learned how to catch seafood. She made a broken fishing net and placed it on the shore. Today is the third day, and she doesn't know if there will be any fish.
After taking a shower, Xu Shan went downstairs to take a look. When she pulled the fish up, she laughed out loud: Not bad, not bad. There are two fish. We can have fish soup tonight.
Xu Shan put the fish on the beach and put the fishing net back to its original place.
When I turned around, I saw a little white dog running away with a fish in its shovel.
"Hey, stop right there."
Xu Shan had been on the island for a month and had no idea there were dogs on the island.
He quickly chased after him.
The puppy ran quite fast, and Xu Shan chased it all the way to a rock covered with weeds.
The puppy stopped running and put the fish in its mouth next to a big dog, licking the big dog.
Xu Shan quickly covered her nose and mouth, because the big dog was already dead, and it must have been dead for several days.
"Puppy, puppy, don't be afraid. Your mother is dead. Do you know that?" Xu Shan didn't know why there were dogs on this island. She never heard any dogs barking.
She approached the puppy cautiously and stroked it gently a few times. The puppy seemed to have found a place to cuddle and rubbed against her hand.
