Chapter 444 Chicken Farm
Jin Niang watched her younger son talk happily, and she followed happily. Soon, Chu Lizheng came in and called them to eat.
Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan took Nie Cimeng, Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu, and after sending Mao Yiming away, they went to look for a place to raise chickens near Yuangan Lake.
On the way, Jiang Xinyan said to a few people, "It takes about a hundred days for a native chicken raised on grain and Cordyceps to grow to about three pounds from birth.
And there is a white-feather chicken that takes less than 30 days from birth to about three pounds.
This means that it is also a chicken farm. If you choose local chickens, the annual output is less than 10,000.
And if the selected breed is white feather chickens, then a minimum of nearly 13,000 chickens can be produced a year.
The extra three thousand are pure profits. There is no additional cost, just a hesitation when choosing a variety. "
"Ma'am, where can I find the chicks of the white-feathered chicken?" Nie Cimeng is now in charge of all the people in the castle.
He pays special attention to the production of crops and farms. Whether it is crops or animals, high yields are earned.
Jiang Xinyan: "..." The old lady just saw it on the Internet in her previous life, and she doesn't know what a white feather chicken is!
"Think about it, we raise chickens to eat by ourselves, so we must choose local chickens!
Mrs. Ben feels that it is just right to eat chickens that have been raised for 100 days. Chickens that grow up after 30 days are too scary. "
"What Madam said is that it must be raised for enough time before eating. The chicks of white-feathered chickens are not the same, but they are raised in different ways."
"It must be raised in a different way. The time is too short. It should not taste like chicken."
Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu echoed Jiang Xinyan and said that they had never heard of a chicken growing up in 30 days.
However, they have never raised chickens and don't know how to raise chickens: "Ma'am, we are going to raise a lot of chickens, how will your chicken farms prepare?"
Jiang Xinyan is very fortunate that she has visited other people's chicken farms in her previous life and knows some skins, so she can't blindly run chicken farms.
Then we will raise local free-range chickens. Generally speaking, the site selection should be comprehensively considered, including area, terrain, soil, orientation, and epidemic prevention conditions.
Especially for natural disasters and the environment conducive to epidemic prevention, the construction and application of farms should follow the following principles.
Chicken farms should not be located in densely populated residential areas or concentrated places, places with frequent traffic, or near livestock and poultry trading places.
It is recommended to choose remote places that can be reached by carriages. Such places are not easy to be infected with epidemic diseases and are conducive to epidemic prevention.
Then the site should be in a high, dry, well-drained place, such as near our dry lake.
Just choose a high and dry place that slopes slightly to the south or southeast, preferably in the mountains.
In hilly areas, the south slope should be selected, the slope is below 20 degrees, this place is very convenient for drainage and sunlight, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
It is best to have a fish pond in the site, which is convenient for sewage discharge, waste utilization and comprehensive management, and chicken excrement can also be used to feed fish.
The dry lake is now the largest source of drinking water for all farms in our castle, so we can't put chicken feces to raise fish.
After listening to the whole process, Chu Lixuan finally concluded: "Then use the hill on the southern side of the billowing lake to raise chickens, and then dig a fish pond at the foot of that hill."
"Don't worry, my subordinates, I'll take someone to dig a fish pond in the afternoon." Wei Dabin took the order.
Chu Lixuan and the others travel on horseback, and now there are a lot of horses in their castle, especially Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu, who have BMWs and prefer to travel on horseback.
If it took them three hours to walk to Clan Lake, it would be faster to use light energy than to ride a horse.
In the castle, there are people who grow crops everywhere. It is not necessary to leap in front of them, so it is better to travel on horseback, which is both majestic and trouble-free.
After choosing the address of the chicken farm, and planning according to the chicken farm in Jiang Xinyan's memory, he went back to eat.
When Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan entered the dining room, the eldest princess and Jinniang had already led Du Yingjie to sit at the dining table.
"Xuan'er, Yan'er is back, we are preparing to eat, have you washed your hands?" Jinniang asked when her eldest son and daughter-in-law came back.
"Grandma, master, mother, we've washed our hands, let's get ready to eat." Jiang Xinyan greeted everyone.
"Princess Cui, this is a common meal, so don't pay too much attention, let's sit together."
"Yingjie has met the big cousin, the big cousin." Cui Yingjie already knew his cousin through Chu Lixiang. The former Zhennanhou was the owner of the castle.
"Big brother, what are you doing?" Chu Lixiang didn't want to care about his elder brother and sister-in-law, he was very interested in what they were busy with all day.
"Let's go to the place where the chicken farms are raised. In the future, we will raise a lot of chickens. When we want to eat chicken, we will kill the chickens to eat them."
When Jiang Xinyan talked about eating chicken, her eyes were full of smiles, and she would get tired of eating pork every day!
"Wow! We can eat chicken casually in the future! Sister-in-law, I really want to eat farmhouse chicken, fried chicken with tea oil, and beggar chicken..."
Chu Lixiang swallowed while talking, hearing that Cui Yingjie really wanted to eat, what kind of chicken was that!
He has lived in the capital for 23 years, and he really has no shortage of food. He often eats chicken, but there is no such thing as this little cousin said!
I feel that the life here is delicious and delicious, just a few home-cooked meals on the table, full of color, flavor, and taste.
"Cousin's dinner, let me introduce the names of the dishes. The biggest bowl of soup is the pork ribs stewed with potatoes. This bowl is sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, fried green peppers with oil residue, cold beef, and the vegetables are fried pumpkin vines."
After Chu Lixiang introduced the six dishes in one breath, he filled a bowl of soup and drank it gracefully.
Cui Yingjie has a smart mind. He has a good example. He also has a bowl of soup to drink first. In fact, he prefers to eat first.
However, everyone drank the soup first, so he could only do as the locals did. Looking at the braised pork and the sweet and sour pork ribs, Cui Yingjie couldn't help drooling.
"Brother Jie, you can also eat soup with vegetables." Jin Niang still cares about her nephew.
"Yeah! Cousin, you can eat whatever you want. This sweet and sour pork ribs is not meant for meals." Chu Lixiang persuaded like a young adult.
"Master, your favorite braised pork." Chu Lizheng took a chopstick and gave it to Master Jing Hui.
He has been following Shi Tai's back to deal with the wounded for the past two days. Chu Lizheng still admires Shi Tai's medical skills, although he is not as powerful as his elder sister-in-law.
But compared to other doctors, it was many times more powerful, and Chu Lizheng and his followers received many admiring glances.
"Brother Zheng, do you want to change careers to study medicine with Master Jing Hui?" Jiang Xinyan teased him.
"Jinghui... Master..."
