Zhao Ping'an said: "How much does it cost to sell such a chicken leg here?"

Ximen Qing said: "There are basically no chicken legs sold separately, but based on the weight and location, it is worth about 100 minuscule, which is about one pound of osmanthus wine you and I drink."

Zhao Ping'an said: "So a chicken worth five or six hundred pounds here is worth five or six hundred min?"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "It's almost the same, it's just the price of a hen, and roosters will be more expensive."

The young lady said in surprise: "It should be a hen that is more expensive?"

Ximen Qing said: "It is a hen that is expensive, but the hens you can eat are mostly egg hens that die unexpectedly, so it is cheap. The chicken seedlings of roosters are almost free, but because they grow slowly and do not lay eggs, it will take at least two years to reach the level that is as big as this chicken leg."

"The two-year cycle is too long and there are too many risks experienced during the period, so it is basically impossible for someone to raise roosters in a concentrated manner. However, some families will raise a crow or guard the house and let it find the insects to eat on their own, which is equivalent to not investing the cost."

"Rock and chicken seedlings are free?" The young lady was surprised by this.

Zhao Ping'an smiled but said nothing.

Ximen Qing said helplessly: "Okay, since Mr. Zhao, there is no secret. Yes, the chicken feathers of roosters are almost free. For example, in the past, my family raised a large scale, and one hundred chickens hatched, and there are almost fifty roosters. Do you understand?"

The young lady thought about it and shook her head: "I don't understand."

Zhao Ping'an explained on behalf of the people: "Didn't Ximen say that unless the farmer raises one at home, you can't invest the cost. But if you raise it in groups, it's impossible to let the roosters eat insects by themselves. They will only snatch the hen's food and not lay eggs. So each batch of chicks hatched, and the Ximen family only sold a few in small quantities. If the other rooster seedlings are not wrong, they would either put them in the wild to fend for themselves, or they would kill them in batches."

"Crack? What a pity, it's better to give it to someone."

The little lady was really surprised.

Ximen Qing shook his hand and said, "It is impossible to give away people. You can only kill them. Or if I have a mountain, I will put them in the mountain to fend for themselves. If there are hunters or something to catch the so-called pheasant in my mountain, I would be embarrassed to discount my legs and then send them to the county government. I even asked him to compensate the chickens. That's all. But I won't go to my mountain to catch chickens, because the difficulty and wage cost are converted, and the meaning is not very great."

The little lady thought for a long time and murmured to herself: "What a pity."

Ximen Qing sighed: "It's a pity that there is nothing to do. If I have the slightest value of raising it, I will be unable to get over money and don't want to raise it."

"What if there is really?"

Zhao Ping'an smiled and said, "I really have a way to raise these roosters that should have been eliminated to about ten kilograms in half a year."

"What!"

Ximen Qing squirted out a mouthful of dishes that had just entered his mouth.

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't believe it. If this is the case, it would be a big profit, which is equivalent to using half of the waste in the precious chicken seedlings.

Ximen Qing's face turned several times, then raised the wine and became stuffy, "What do you need to do in your sir, but if you have instructions, you dare to obey."

"The thing I mentioned is definitely a big business and a big industry that concerns people's livelihood. Of course, it will not be done for a while."

"The initial idea is to have a specialty in skills, just like some horses are suitable for slow-moving motorcycles and some are suitable for sprinting. I plan to subdivide special broilers from the source of the population."

"This requires you to help me find the kind of chicken that has few eggs but grows fast?"

These are Zhao Ping'an's request.

"this……"

Ximen Qing did not respond for the time being.

Zhao Ping'an smiled and said, "It's right. This is your value, otherwise I will ask you to cooperate with you?"

He also said: "I understand. Any chicken I mentioned has only one result in this era: killing and eating it. But there are always exceptions in things. For example, some small households raise small amounts and are not sensitive to costs. In the absence of poverty, even if they occasionally encounter chickens that don't like laying eggs, they are too lazy to care about it because they have a certain relationship. For example, even if they are stingy like Lu Shijie, they also raise a few people in the county government who only pays money and does not work. Do you understand what I mean?"

It's true.

Ximen Qing had to admit that the scholar said the big truth.

Speaking of this, it is nothing more than using the process of "success in nature".

Nature is magical, and things change and animals and plants change every moment.

It just means that the phenomenon of 99:99% will be ignored. Anyone who discovers and studies it and has enough IQ will basically become a great man and a big shot in later textbooks to promote the progress of human civilization.

For example, the shepherd raised a flock of sheep, and a storm came on the grassland. The flock was frightened and jumped out of the sheep pen and ran away.

The next day, the shepherd found that there were still a few sheep with very short legs, which failed to jump out of the sheep pen.

He then raised the sheep, and thus derived a population of "short-legged sheep" that was peaceful and easy to raise.

If it weren't for that storm, I wouldn't even find this problem. Such a docile minority short-legged sheep would only be assimilated by the irritable environment.

The plants are similar.

Mothers in later generations liked to plant one or two so-called organic vegetables in the balcony flower pot, just for fun.

Once I went out for a long time before I came back. As usual, those organic vegetables should have died of drought.

They were basically killed by drought, but one of them was a variant that was accidentally pollinated by nature and died of drought. At that time, Zhao Ping'an was called to see it.

The so-called natural selection of food is the product of natural selection of food. This can cultivate drought-resistant and water-consuming dishes for planting in water-scarce areas.

However, there was too much material supply in later generations, and similar phenomena were not worth paying attention to, so Zhao Ping'an ate the "magic dish" that night, and the taste was relatively average.

After eating, I told my mother, "By the way, that dish can actually make you show off in your circle of friends. If you are in a tense era of food, you still have the chance to become one in ten Yuan Longping."

As a result, she chased and beaten!

Of course, similar phenomena not only occur in Zhao Ping'an's home, but are happening everywhere in nature, but they are said to be undiscovered.

For example, if it is not for extreme cases, no one will let it be dehydrated. Then they will be harvested together. Who cares which bone is clear?

This phenomenon is difficult to detect in later generations, but if you want to find it, you may find some clues by making good use of search engines and various videos and live broadcasts.

But in ancient times, even in the Northern Song Dynasty, communication with other places and outside the circle was quite difficult.

The world is so big that Zhao Ping'an doesn't understand the environment and characteristics of various places. He doesn't know what the characteristics of chickens are. Where to find good populations is even more slandering?

The Ximen family knows that there are too many tricks in this circle and that they have the right to speak and resources in the circle. It will be much easier for them to find breeders.

Cultivating populations is nothing more than discovering the best species from all regions and even states, and purifying bloodlines and cultivating the ancestors separately.

For example, if you find that some chickens don’t lay eggs all day long and only gain weight after eating them, it means that the broiler has many genetic components. Collect them to keep "marrying in close relatives" in the nest, enlarge and purify the advantages and disadvantages, and ultimately enlarge and strengthen the characteristics of this series.

Learn from one example and professional laying hens can also be made in similar ways. This is the charm of science.

Nowadays, the chickens in Changzhou are not laying hens at all, they are between half pheasants.

The characteristics are wild, active, aggressive, sharp-tongued, and can't stop them if they don't want to lay eggs. They don't like each other, and they are fighting like woodpeckers. For example, my aunt's chicken, basically half of her feathers are used as armor when fighting.

Feathers are almost entirely synthesized. To repair their respective "armor", it takes a lot of nutrition, and nutrition is directly money.

This is actually an interpretation of energy conservation. The key is to see what the chicken uses for the nutrition it eats? It is used to "military expenses" to fight intra-rolling battles? Or it is used to "develop" eggs or gain meat?

These "bad natures" can be solved by bloodline hybridization. This is also the charm of science.

"In principle, this matter will be left to you. It is not limited to chickens that grow fast. Any uncommon and special ones can be taken away. Scholar, I want to build a large population bank in Jinling County. The benefits are not great for the time being, and I need to continue to invest. But five to ten years later, I guarantee that the Song army can carry high-protein compressed dry food made from chicken breast to conduct expeditionary battles."

Zhao Ping'an finally concluded.

Ximen Qing and the little lady singing songs looked quite confused.

Zhao Ping'an said awkwardly: "Okay, I know that I am the only one who is interested in it, it has nothing to do with you. Especially the official Ximen is a treacherous and despicable person. He heard that he had no benefits in the short term and did not turn around and leave. In fact, when I mentioned similar suggestions, Lu Shijie really turned around and left, as if he never knew me."

“…”

Ximen Qing didn't know how to respond to this scholar.

The key is that if the short-term benefits are not great, how can people cooperate? Send confidants in the circle to travel far away, or even visit and acquire them all over the country, and the cost is really not low.

"Don't be too lazy, two degrees." Zhao Ping'an offered: "You can help me do this with half a year. I will provide you with two 'borrowed students' places for your young student in the Ximen family. I really don't give you face to ordinary people."

"The deal is done! Mr. Zhao is really refreshing."
