Chapter 100: The Chicken Breaks the Shell
In the next few days, Chen Fei and the people in Shuo County were busy, which made Zhou Nader's eunuch very much appreciate. The eunuchs in the palace are relatively good. Nowadays, eunuchs have relatively good character and quality, much better than those who often interfere in politics later. So Chen Fei was very diligent and loved the people, so he also praised them very much. He wrote several letters to Li Shimin in succession, and there were a lot of words praising Chen Fei. Moreover, Li Lizhi also lived here and looked pretty good. Li Lizhi's life was taken care of by those eunuchs from the court, and his life was still good.
"Mr. Chen County Magistrate, Miss Wu asked me to tell you that the chicken has broken its shell!" Yang Jiaxiang said.
"What? The chicken has broken its shell? Then I have to go and see it!" Chen Fei said.
After Chen Fei finished speaking, he immediately left the county government and ran outside the county town.
"Shuli Yang, what is Miss Wu? County Magistrate Chen has just arrived for a few days, why did he meet a Miss Wu?" asked Princess Wanchun.
Yang Jiaxiang is an old fry. He had long seen that Chen Fei and Princess Wanchun were not ordinary, so he immediately began to smooth things over for his boss: "It's nothing, County Magistrate Chen and Miss Wu have nothing to do with each other, and really have nothing to do with each other."
Princess Wanchun's head suddenly became black, and she obviously misunderstood something.
If Chen Fei knew that Yang Jiaxiang said this, he would definitely slap him hard. Yang Jiaxiang obviously didn't understand the mentality of women. The more you said nothing, the more people would doubt you. If Yang Jiaxiang directly said it was a cooperative relationship, Princess Wanchun would not have any doubts. But he actually said something smartly was just a general relationship, which made Princess Wanchun wonder whether there was such a relationship, so naturally she immediately became unhappy.
After hearing this, Princess Wanchun also left the county government and followed Chen Fei.
"Miss Wu, has the chicken broken?" Chen Fei asked.
Wu Yun in the chicken farm immediately followed Chen Fei and said, "From the beginning of the first chicken breaking out, I'll let you inform you. And just now more than 100 chickens broke out, and now they are gradually breaking out. The eggs have begun to hatch, and our first batch of 5,000 chickens have begun to be born gradually, and we can start feeding them next."
"Okay, as long as I follow my method, this batch of broiler will grow up soon and then continue to develop into a huge chicken farm!" Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei looked at these newborn chicks, all of which were furry, which meant that these chicks were relatively healthy. Chen Fei got this hatchery, and there were seven or eight thousand eggs here, which was good enough to hatch five thousand chickens. The chickens would be selected several times before they were considered qualified chickens. After about sixty days of breeding, they could become qualified broilers and be sold for money to obtain funds for continued development.
"Miss Wu Yun, these chickens have to start eating for six to twelve hours after they break out of their shells, which means they have to eat for the first time and feed water." Chen Fei said.
"Okay, according to your recipe from Chen County Magistrate, we have prepared the first meal for chickens to eat. We have also prepared a lot, so that these chickens can trample on each other to death because of fighting for food. And we have also provided chickens with different foods at different times, and those sesame meal, soybean meal, and even wheat bran are also ready. In this way, we will be able to raise a lot of broiler chickens about three or four kilograms in the future, so that we can sell one chicken for one or two jin of money." Wu Yun said.
Chen Fei nodded in agreement, because in ancient times, chicken was relatively expensive, and a pound of chicken was at least several times the price of pork, so it was no problem to sell a chicken for one or two jin of money. The cost of breeding a chicken was only more than 80 cents, and at most it would not exceed one hundred cents, so this was ten times the profit. Whether it was breeding yourself or to obtain more and more abundant non-staple food for the people, this was also what it should be. In two years, broiler breeding was truly on track, so that the large amount of broiler chickens could be provided, and the price of broiler chickens would be reduced.
"Ms. Wu, are hens enough? Next, expanding breeding is required to lay eggs for hens, so that they can continuously provide chicken seedlings." Chen Fei asked.
Wu Yun immediately said: "Don't worry, magistrate Chen County, we already have about eighty hens, and these hens are all at the age of laying eggs. According to the food recipe for magistrate Chen County, these hens lay two eggs in three days, and sometimes one a day. There are so many eggs, and the quality is much better than the eggs in the past, which is simply incredible!"
Wu Yun was really convinced by Chen Fei because Chen Fei was able to mix chicken feed and let these hens lay eggs so frequently. If we followed the feeding method in the past, it would be very good to lay eggs for these chickens in five or six days. However, according to Chen Fei's chicken feed, two for three days, and sometimes one for one a day is possible. Not to mention the methods of raising broilers in sixty days, just the method of letting hens lay eggs frequently is already a shocking secret feed recipe. In ancient times, eggs were also a very valuable nutritional product. This feed method for making hens lay eggs frequently was a priceless treasure. But now Chen Fei has come out, and it is obviously very generous.
Chen Fei smiled slightly. After seeing the agricultural knowledge in later generations, he naturally knew whether hen lays eggs. In fact, in addition to the hen breeds, hens also have the nutritional content. Usually, the nutritional content of farm feed is relatively low, which makes it necessary for the hens to accumulate nutrition for many days before they can lay an egg. However, Chen Fei's feed formula is very nutritious and can allow hens to lay eggs frequently, and the quality of laying eggs is much better than that of the past. Therefore, this secret recipe was priceless for ancient times.
