In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
For the past two days, Jia Zhang-shi had not been eating or drinking. She had been guarding her precious hens every day, hoping that they would lay eggs.
Every now and then, she would dig out the chicken nest and touch the chicken's buttocks, scaring the old hens.
Two days had passed, and the six hens had not laid a single egg. On the contrary, they had wasted a lot of food.
This made Qin Huairu grumble.
On this day.
In the afternoon.
Jia Zhangshi came out after dinner.
She skillfully walked into the chicken coop and fumbled around in the chicken coop. There were no eggs, but there was chicken droppings on her hand.
Jia Zhang-shi was furious.
He roared at the few hens in the chicken coop,"You useless things only know how to eat. You don't even know how to lay an egg. If you don't lay an egg, I'll eat all of you…"
The few hens in the nest trembled in fear and huddled together.
At this moment, Qin Huairu walked out as well.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi shouting, Qin Huairu could not help but advise,""Mom, don't go to the chicken nest anymore. Perhaps the chicken is scared by you.”
When Jia Zhangshi heard this, she immediately pointed the spearhead at Qin Huairu.
"What do you mean? You're saying that the chicken doesn't lay eggs because of me?!”
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable manner, Qin Huiru instantly fell silent.
She was helpless against this unreasonable mother-in-law.
"Blame me, alright?" Qin Huairu said in a huff as she turned around and returned to her room.
Jia Zhang-shi snorted coldly behind him, still somewhat unsatisfied.
She felt that Qin Huairu was blaming her for what she had said.
Jia Zhang-shi looked at the chicken coop again and couldn't help but kick the door of the chicken coop.
"Useless thing, you only know how to eat!”
The few hens were frightened and kept clucking.
Jia Zhangshi threw a tantrum at the poor hens and then left the chicken pen.
She didn't go home, but went to the backyard and came to Xu Qing's chicken coop.
Jia Zhangshi looked at Xu Qing's chicken coop with envy. Inside, three hens were leisurely eating vegetable leaves.
At this time, most people did not have special feed for chickens at home, and it was impossible to take too much food to feed them.
Even Xu Qing didn't just feed the chickens. His family didn't have the luxury to feed the chickens. The chickens only ate vegetables, wild vegetables, earthworms, snails, and occasionally, he would catch some small insects.
As for the chicken feed, he was only given a handful every day.
The chicken feed was also very magical. After the hen ate it, she laid a lot of eggs every day, and they were all full of life. There was no harm in it.
Jia Zhang-shi looked at Xu Qing's chicken laying so many eggs in a day, her face full of envy and jealousy.
Bah! Why can't her chickens lay eggs?
At this moment.
Xu Qing opened the door and walked out of the house.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Jia Zhangshi standing beside the chicken coop and was instantly amused.
Jia Zhangshi saw that his family raised chickens and laid eggs to sell for money, and her eyes turned red. She even bought six old hens in one go.
When she raised the chickens, she was stingy and searched. She did not feed the chickens well. She even went to the chicken nest every day and touched the chicken's buttocks as if she wanted to take the eggs out of the chicken's buttocks.
Her mother's hen had not laid an egg yet, perhaps because she was hungry or frightened.
Xu Qing didn't say anything and just sprinkled the chicken feed into the chicken coop.
The chicken feed was white and grainy, looking like grains of coarse salt.
When the three hens saw this, they immediately ran over to peck at the food.
After Xu Qing finished feeding the chicken, he turned around and left.
He wasn't afraid of Jia Zhangshi stealing the chicken. The chicken coop was just outside his window, so he could hear any movement clearly.
Jia Zhang-shi's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
What did Xu Qing feed the chicken? Why did it seem like coarse salt? Did chickens need to be fed salt?
Why haven't I heard of it before?
Could this be the secret behind Xu Qing's chicken laying so many eggs?
The more Jia Zhang-shi thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. She couldn't help but ask,""Brat, what did you feed the chicken? Is it salt?"
Xu Qing didn't even turn his head and retorted,""Hehe, why should I tell you?”
After saying that, Xu Qing returned to his room and closed the door.
Only Jia Zhangshi was left standing in the courtyard.
Jia Zhang-shi was annoyed for a while, then lowered her head to think.
She felt that she had discovered the secret of the Xu family's chicken farming.
The reason why the Xu family's chickens could lay so many eggs was because they were fed coarse salt!
As for Xu Qing's last words, it further proved this point. This kid must be afraid that she would find out, so he didn't tell her!
The more she thought about it, the more Jia Zhang-shi felt that it was possible.
Delighted, he quickly left the courtyard and rushed to Pigeon City to buy two catties of coarse salt.
When Jia Zhang-shi returned to the courtyard, the sky had already darkened.
When she entered the chicken coop, the chickens had already returned to their nests. She sprinkled some coarse salt on the ground and poured some salt into the basin before returning to the house in satisfaction.
That night.
Jia Zhangshi couldn't sleep all night.
She was so excited that she couldn't sleep at the thought of her chicken laying eggs soon.
Her family had six chickens. If each chicken could lay five eggs a day, then there would be 30 eggs a day. If she sold one for 10 cents, 30 eggs would be 3 yuan! He could earn 3 yuan a day!
Thinking of this, Jia Zhang-shi laughed out loud.
Qin Huairu, who was standing at the side, felt helpless. Could he still let her sleep?
"Mom, I still have to go to work tomorrow! Can you keep your voice down!"
"Hmph, go to sleep!" Jia Zhang-shi mumbled, turned her back and hugged the quilt, thinking about her dream of making a fortune, and laughed.
