The shops in the town and the shops in the county consume dozens of chickens every day. The little chickens raised by the villagers in Jintan Village really cannot withstand the consumption. So, can we use this opportunity to call on the villagers to raise chickens?

At the beginning of the TV series, the government issued guinea fowl breeders for them to raise, but they were all eaten. This is because they did not know how to raise guinea fowls and lacked sales channels.

Now Madebao's large-pan chicken shop does not require such a rare chicken breed as guinea fowl. Just the native chickens that villagers are used to raising, and it seems that it is not difficult in terms of breeding technology.

As for sales, the two large-scale chicken stores now consume hundreds of chickens every day, more than 3,000 per month, and more than 30,000 per year.

There are more than 60 households in Jintan Village. On average, each household can digest 500 chickens, and even spread to other hanging houses. This may be better.

Centralized large-scale breeding has very high technical requirements. A family of 500 chickens cannot take care of. There are now more than 2,000 people and hundreds of households in Yuquanying, so it is much easier to raise dozens of chickens in each household.

But how do you get the feed? If three or five chickens can be raised casually, it will be a bit difficult if you make ten times more. If you don’t have money to buy feed and you can’t bear to feed corn, what should you do about this problem?

On the way back, Ran Jiang was thinking about this, and at the same time searching for the breeding method he had seen in later generations.

Raising chickens in the wild? This method is not suitable for Yuquanying. Not to mention whether there is food in the Gobi Desert, sandstorms alone cannot withstand these chickens.

If you release it for raising it, a sandstorm will roll over, how many chickens will be swept away? I guess there will be no few left.

So, what other feed-saving breeding methods are available? I wonder if earthworms can raise chickens? This method is a scientific method that has been tested, but Ran Jiang is still not sure whether it is suitable for the natural environment of Yuquanying.

He has heard a lot of poverty alleviation projects that do bad things with kindness. If the farmers don’t make money in the end, he will be too guilty.

When he returned to the office, he reported his thoughts to Zhang Shucheng, and then said, "Director Zhang, I think this is a way to increase the income of the hanger households, but it is hard to say whether it is feasible or not."

"What are the biggest concerns for farmers when raising breeding? Isn't it just that they can't raise chickens? Who can't raise chickens? The first problem is solved, Debao can also solve the problem of sales, and the second problem is solved!"

Zhang Shucheng pointed at Ran Jiang and smiled, "You are usually smart, but suddenly you are confused and you even miscalculated the account."

"Even if your two stores use 30,000 chickens a year, it's not a matter of raising 500 chickens per household. Our native chickens can be eaten in five or six months. Including the time spent in your store, the number of chickens they raise at least half!"

"If you spread it to the entire Yuquanying Dianzhuang immigration resettlement site, you will be almost done with twenty or thirty pieces in each household! It's time to plan!"

"Stop when your brother wants to use it, he will go back to Yuquanying and see that it is all chickens, or there will be thousands of chickens to sell to him at once!"

"If this is replaced by the fast-growing chicken species that are slaughtered outside for two or three months, the number of breeding can continue to decline!" Zhang Shucheng's grassroots experience is really rich, and he pointed out Ran Jiang's mistake in a moment.

"Oh, just thinking about the total amount, I forgot whether it is used on Debao or the villagers raise chickens, they are all divided into batches!" Ran Jiang slapped his forehead and said in annoyance.

"But it's better to be cautious when changing the fast-growing chicken species. First, the villagers have never raised it, and second, I don't know if it's suitable for making large-scale chickens!" Ran Jiang has eaten this, and the taste is far less than that of native chickens.

In fact, this is true for many economic animals. Between economic benefits and taste, farmers tend to prefer the former.

Is the meat of the big white pig really better than that of the traditional black-haired pig? Is the white-feathered chicken really better than the native chicken? Anyone who has eaten it knows that this is not the case.

However, why is the proportion of big white pigs and white-feathered chickens growing? It is because the meat yield rate of big white pigs is high and the growth cycle of white-feathered chickens is short, which can bring higher economic benefits to farmers.

The popularity of big white pigs and white-feathered chickens has allowed the people to eat more and cheaper meat, but the taste is not as good as that of black-feathered pigs and native chickens.

Local pork and local chicken are gradually becoming scarce, and the prices are also rising. Diners who miss the taste of the past can only buy them at a high price.

Ran Jiang knew very well that only when the big plate chicken shop maintains a good taste, the chickens raised in Yuquan can be sold. Naturally, we cannot easily change the ingredients and recipes in the store.

If the business declines rapidly due to the worsening taste, there will be nothing left. At that time, you have to find other sales channels.

"But that's it. Every family has to raise so many chickens, so the feed is still difficult to solve, right?" Ran Jiang said his plan, "Well, when he was in the agricultural school, I heard about the method of raising chickens by earthworms!"

"Each household digs a piece of earthworm field, raises chickens skillfully, and can also use earthworm cob to fertilize the field to improve the soil quality of the Gobi Desert. It kills two birds with one stone. I just don't know if this method can be used in our place!"

Ran Jiang told Zhang Shucheng what he knew. Zhang Shucheng listened very seriously, "It sounds like a good idea, but your worries make sense. This method can be used in other places. It is hard to say whether our Yuquan Camp can be used."

"Since you heard it at the agricultural school, what kind of teachers do this research in your school? Can you ask him to come and help, start a pilot first, and then promote it on a large scale if it succeeds?" Zhang Shucheng was not like County Ma, who was in a hurry to get on the horse when he heard something good.

He knew that life was not easy for ordinary people, and he could not let them take risks without certainty.

"It's really not." Ran Jiang just passed Ma Defu's memory on the road, "But although we don't have one in the school, I heard from the teacher that there are experts from the Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences in our district doing this research!"

"Well, I'll send you a letter of introduction. You can go to Yinchuan and ask at the Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences to see if this method is feasible!" Zhang Shucheng, who was a soldier, has always been decisive in his actions and immediately made a decision.

"Since this is possible, whether it can be achieved in the end or not, we must try it as much as possible! It is not easy for farmers to make money. We should work harder and find a way to make money for them, which is worth it!"

Zhang Shucheng quickly sent a letter of introduction to Ran Jiang, and squeezed out the travel expenses from the funds handled by the Dianzhuang, and paid them in advance to Ran Jiang.
