She picked some withered vegetable leaves to feed the chickens and took the opportunity to collect the eggs the hens had laid today. Just as she turned to the third chicken coop, Qiao Qingqing discovered several fluffy chicks and was instantly overjoyed.
After counting them, she realized there were five chicks that had successfully hatched. Although this number was small, it felt like a cause for celebration to Qiao Qingqing. After all, it meant she was one small step closer to her dream of being a large-scale poultry farmer. The soil and water in her spatial dimension did not just nourish people; they nourished all living things—those that swam in the sea, ran on the ground, or grew in the earth. Aside from creatures that flew in the sky, she had raised everything else, so she naturally knew that these five chicks would grow plump in no time. She figured she would be able to feast on chicken to her heart's content by the Lunar New Year.
To reward the hen that had diligently raised the chicks, Qiao Qingqing specifically mixed a bit of seafood porridge for it. While the other chickens could only eat vegetable leaves, this one got to enjoy a nutritionally balanced "postpartum meal," which was enough to make any chicken envious.
