Chapter 4: Borrow a cock? What are you doing?
004 Borrow a cock? What are you doing? She also just suddenly remembered that although there are no crops in the fields, locusts will never go into the water to eat those fish, right?
Her water is pretty good. Why don't you take advantage of the dark night tonight to go to the pond behind to see what fish you can catch, or wrap your belly for a while.
Although it’s almost September, it’s not too cold, so it shouldn’t be a problem to get into the water.
"Grandma, after it gets dark, I'll go to the pond at the back and see if I can catch a few fish." She took the bowl, scooped a spoonful of egg custard, and handed it to Xia Sang's mouth.
"No, Jiuniang, the pond is deep, but you can't go there." Xia Sang said quickly after hearing her words.
That pond, I didn’t dare to go to it on weekdays because the water was too deep.
"Grandma, don't worry, Jiuniang's water is not bad, it will be fine, eat it first." She comforted Xia Sang, and handed the spoon to her mouth.
Xia Sang saw that this girl, Jiuniang, was determined to let her eat this bowl of egg custard together, she just opened her mouth and took a bite.
"Juniang, listen to grandma, don't go to the pond at the back, if you want to eat meat, grandma will kill our old hen later..."
"Grandma, please don't, you can't kill an old hen." Before Xia Sang could finish speaking, Xia Beibei hurriedly stopped her.
"What can't be killed, there are not even leaves of vegetables in the fields now, people are starving to death, where is there anything for the hens to eat." Xia Sang said dejectedly. What about chicken.
If it weren't for the hen's puppet and lay an egg, she would have killed it long ago.
"Grandma, there are so many locusts outside, aren't they all chicken food?" Xia Beibei hurriedly said, "The hen eats the worms, just like us people eat meat, so it's nutritious."
"Yes." Xia Sang's eyes lit up immediately after being reminded by Xia Beibei.
"Why didn't grandma think of it, I'll have to catch some locusts to feed the hens later, so that she can lay eggs for us every day." She clapped her hands, and suddenly felt that this was the best thing to do.
"Also, grandma, aren't you very close to Grandma Li in the east of the village? Let's borrow her **** to feed it for twenty days, okay?"
"Borrow a rooster? What are you doing?" This time Xia Sang couldn't understand.
An old hen is enough to raise, and you need to get another rooster? How many locusts do you have to catch? However, every day he doesn't go to the ground to grow vegetables, he just digs the roots of the trees, and sometimes there is time to catch locusts.
"Grandma, hens can hatch chicks."
"Hatch... hatch chicks?" Xia Sang was stunned. She never thought that hens could hatch chicks. Besides, her old hens had never hatched chicks.
"Yeah, let's borrow the rooster from Grandma Li's house. When the time comes, the chicks will hatch and give her half of it, right?"
"But... is this possible?" Xia Sang was hesitant, which seemed unreliable.
"Grandma, if you don't try it, you won't know how to do it." Now it's deserted outside, and if you don't come up with something at your own house, you'll have to starve to death.
"Then...I'll borrow it from Sister Li's house." Although Xia Sang was still hesitant in her heart, her granddaughter's words were definitely not wrong.
