Chapter 101 Duckling

Su You and the children crowded together in the greenhouse, holding their breath and looking at the eggs on the straw.

Soon, a duck egg moved, causing everyone in the greenhouse to scream in surprise.

But the exclamation seemed to frighten the egg, and the egg regained its composure.

The children were inevitably itching to wait, and suddenly, another egg moved.

Now everyone had learned the lesson, and only huffed and puffed to express their excitement, but did not dare to scream anymore.

Soon, the eggshell began to shake slightly, then cracks appeared, and finally, a tender little mouth poked out.

More and more eggs were shaking, and they began to break the shell. The duckling that came out first made a bigger and bigger opening, and then struggled out of the eggshell.

Shi Wei hugged Su You's neck: "Brother Xiaoyou, the little duck is out! It's so cute..."

What Su You couldn't bear the most was the terrible smell released by the ducklings huddled together. Ever since he first went to the countryside and met several duck farmers selling ducklings, and they vomited wildly on the street, he had been smelling it ever since.

You must vomit once.

Although it has been thousands of years, the demonic aura seems to have begun to recover in my mind, reminding myself: It's time to vomit... It's time for you to vomit...

Ugh! His stomach was churning, and Su You quickly broke away from Shi Wei's arm: "I'm going to prepare the ingredients. You don't need to worry about the chickens and ducks, let them get used to it for a while, and don't worry about the egg yolks on their butts, let them get used to it.

Absorb it on your own. If there are chicks or ducks that are really weak and cannot hatch out of their shells, you can help me by breaking the shells apart... Ugh, I can't stand it anymore..."

After rushing out of the greenhouse, Su You ran to the edge of the garden and started vomiting.

Shi Fu quickly poured a glass of warm water over and patted him on the back while asking with concern: "What kind of evil did this happen? The chicken baby made him happy?"

If I could speak now, I wouldn't curse you to death, you're a damn old man! Wait... ugh

After finally regaining his composure, Su You straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief.

Shi Fu asked: "What on earth is going on?"

Su You shook his head: "I can't stand the smell of ducklings crowded together. It's killing me..."

Shi Fu laughed so hard: "I asked you to work on the carburizing box, but you didn't do it...wait, the duckling? Has it really hatched?"

Su You said: "The chickens and ducks have hatched."

Shi Fu stuffed the coal ash shovel into Su You's hand: "Ouch! I'll take a look too!"

Su You: "..."

Covering the work he had made with soot, Su You went to the storage room in disgrace to get the cutting materials.

The opening ingredients are carefully prepared. In addition to bran, wheat flour, soybean meal powder, and fine rice bran, salt, egg yolk powder, fish bone powder, and snail meat powder are also mixed.

Balanced nutrition, improve resistance.

In fact, the vitamins and trace elements are not enough, but there is nothing we can do to get these soybean oil. I am going to wait until the chicken is older and boil some fish oil as an additive.

I stuffed two pieces of tissue paper into my nostrils and went in again with a plate of feed mixed with warm water. More and more chicks and ducklings had hatched, and the babies had moved them into the brooding box.

Shi Fu took the feed plate: "Hey, your chickens still eat hot food?"

Su You smiled and said: "That means that not only do you have to eat hot food, you also have to drink warm water, and you can't go to the cool ground or leave the hot house. If you don't have hens and ducks to take you with you, you have to cook more carefully."

After that, he said to Shi Wei: "Weier, put a few basins of water in the four corners of the house later to increase the amount of water in the house. After three days, it will decrease gradually. Keep raising the chicks in this house until they are completely healthy, and then they can be moved.

Go outside. Oh no, the smell is coming again..."

In the past two days, Ba Gong has organized manpower to build a pig pen.

The water glass preparation process has been determined, and several tanks can be prepared in one day.

Mix quartz sand and cinder with water glass, and only need a mold to pour acid-resistant pore bricks with uniform specifications.

The perforated bricks are stored in a sealed room, which draws in the chimney exhaust. A large amount of carbon dioxide will react with the sodium silicate, and the bricks with excellent hardness can be poured out very quickly.

Correspondingly, there are various metal casting molds, but the cinder is replaced by kaolin, but the production method is the same. This is the best metal casting mold currently available in the Song Dynasty.

The only drawback is that the mold needs to be dried before casting and the moisture in it must be baked, otherwise defective products are likely to be produced.

The floor material is made of water glass bricks cast with bamboo chips as ribs. In order to facilitate cleaning, a layer of metal molding material mortar is applied to the surface to increase the fineness.

In future generations, this thing can only be regarded as a shoddy project. Now, just use it...

The supporting beams are made of wood, soaked in sodium silicate at both ends, and then coated entirely with divinyl sodium silicate paint, which avoids the hard work of stone cutting and is extremely waterproof.

The material problem is solved, and what's left is functional design.

The large tank at the bottom is a septic tank, and the pigsty and toilet are also designed together.

The upper floor is a pigsty, which can hold sixteen pigs.

However, it is generally not possible to use all of it, and the rest will be used as a storage tank for distiller's grains and silage feed.

If you want to relax, you actually need a faucet. Before there were faucets, Su You had to make two large water tanks and put them at the door, using porcelain pipes to draw them in. The overflowing water flowed away through the gutter to ensure the water supply of the pig pen.

Generally speaking, the structure is similar to that of later generations of farm pig pens. The only difference is that the square pond is changed into a round pond to prepare for future biogas applications.

However, Su You's idea is to first mobilize the enthusiasm of villagers to raise pigs. As for the use of biogas, we can wait until there are more pigs.

Su You didn't want to let it happen in Kelong in advance and lower his already low moral character.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China rectified the chaos, the people in southern Sichuan had food and eggs, and fat pigs the next year. On such a day, Su You was ready to bring his fellow villagers to help.

When the helping villagers heard that the chickens and ducks had actually been hatched by the babies, they all put down their work and rushed over to see the strange thing.

"Really, real eggs can hatch..."

"What kind of real eggs are they made by stepping on the back, but there is no old hen..."

"There are still a few that haven't hatched yet..."

"Nonsense, even if the old hens at home hatch eggs, they will still have few eggs."

"Actually, the truth is very simple. Hens rely on heat to hatch eggs. Doesn't the kang bed also have heat? So it's not unusual for chickens to hatch..."

"Yes, yes, it's strange that you understand all the truth. What's strange is that two days ago, some people said that they would eat the egg shells after they hatched. Come on, come on, that pile is yours..."

"Uh...you guys watch first. I'll go back and check the location of the manure pit. Hachiko said that every family should build a pigsty like the one here in Youwa. Those who have a good idea of ​​the location should excavate it first! Those who build it first must castrate it first.

Pig baby raising!”

"Yes, this is a big deal! It's best to raise food in the spring! After eating twice-cooked pork once, my ears are so stunned! Let's go, let's do that first..."

The men in the village don't care much about chickens and ducks. These are all done by the women and children at home.

So the news spread, and soon the aunt and the second aunt came over to inquire about it in a roundabout way.

Su You simply asked Bagong to recruit two chicken raising experts, and then he would check the egg breeds in the village, price the purchases, and learn the hatching skills. After the chicken farm was established in the future, he would expand the breeding area.

The reason why I don't help the villagers hatch them is because there are still risks in this matter, and it will cause trouble when the time comes. I simply buy them all and bear the profit and loss. It is better to hand over the ones that can't be raised to Hachiko as a favor.

Hachigong felt that this was a unique skill and should be kept by Shi Wei. After Su You had a son, he could study with him. If his daughter learns this, she can also walk sideways in her parents' family.

Su You couldn't stop laughing: "Uncle, how old is Weier that you think so long-term? Do you think she won't make trouble if we kill the chickens and ducks that Weier raised by herself and eat the meat for her?"

Hachiko said: "If you don't eat meat, why raise it?"

Su You smiled and said: "You can also raise chickens that don't eat meat. They are called breeder chickens. From now on, Wei'er will be responsible for cultivating fine chickens. The ones that eat meat and lay eggs can be left to the hired hands. Kelongli will be taught this craft.

The eldest daughter and daughter-in-law, from now on Kelongli’s daughter will not have to worry about getting married!”

Hachiko thought about it and said, "Yes, Wei'er has been designated by the Little Heavenly Master to practice Taoism. Are you afraid that you won't be able to pass on your skills to the next generation? Hahaha, you are really old and confused..."

Su You slapped his forehead with his hand: "I still have to prepare a gift for my brother, but let Wei'er use it as a certificate of surrender. I guarantee that I can please my brother!"
