Chapter Ninety-Eight: Preparing Feed

In the morning, Tofu Shih Tzu came over to take a look, and she was relieved to see a person sleeping on the bed and lying on the ground alone.

After breakfast, Liu Yan began to work, he vaguely remembered that there was a classmate in junior high school who was a chicken dealer at home, he rummaged through the address book and chat software, turned around several times, found the classmate, and inquired about a chicken farm in Qingping County next door, and their family purchased goods from there.

Looking at the address, Liu Yan felt that he should be able to get it back and forth in a day, and while it was still early, he immediately contacted three villagers who signed up to raise chickens and asked them to go to Qingping County together as representatives to buy goods.

The four people came to the town, Liu Yan waited for a private car to solicit customers, and the four of them spent 160 yuan to go to Qingping County.

Before noon, they came to this place called Lao Chen Chicken Farm in Qingping County, which is located in the suburbs and surrounded by several hills, and you can see that the hills are covered with rows of low houses, which are places to raise chickens.

From afar, they smell a pungent stench, but they are also used to it, and go directly to the chicken farm.

There was a phone at the door of the chicken farm, Liu Yan called directly, and the person who answered the phone was also surnamed Chen, and it didn't take long for a tall and thin middle-aged man in work clothes to come out of the chicken farm, while shouting at them to come in.

"What kind of chickens do the bosses want to buy? I basically have a complete range of breeds, the price is favorable, and I give away the breeding manual, if you buy more, we will also send the feed. "Boss Chen seemed very enthusiastic.

"Maji, what's the market now?"

"Yo, hemp chicken is more expensive than broiler chicken, the boss is also knowledgeable, now two pieces of three and one feathers, how much does the boss want?"

"Seven hundred. ”

"Seven hundred, if you don't make up a whole one, one thousand, I'll count you two pieces and two. ”

"No, seven hundred is enough. "Liu Yan has already arranged the number.

Chatting and chatting, Boss Chen took them into the breeding factory, where the smell was a little unpleasant, and Boss Chen also intimately prepared masks for a few people.

Then he began to introduce: "There are chicken seedlings here, grass chickens, hemp chickens, and white-feathered chickens, and the prices are different, and we sell them very quickly, with an annual output of two million and go up......"

Liu Yan didn't care much about what he said, he just wanted to know if the hemp chicken here was the kind raised by Ye Xiufen's family.

Boss Chen took a few people to the hemp chicken seedling pond, and at a glance, the small pond was full of yellow, orange and orange chicken cubs.

"Liu Yan, is this the case?" asked Liu Erzhu, who followed him.

Liu Yan actually didn't understand, he was a little embarrassed, he looked at the boss: "Is there anything that is about to be slaughtered?" ”

"Yes!" Boss Chen nodded and led them to another field.

There are three or four pounds of adult chickens here, and the smell of chicken shit is even stronger, even if you wear a mask, you feel a little uncomfortable.

In those iron cages, Liu Yan finally saw the kind of hemp chicken raised by Ye Xiufen, which is very similar to the native chickens in the countryside, but the ephedra on the neck, the good-looking spots are very similar to the pheasants, and the hair color is brighter, especially the rooster, the tail is black and not slippery, and the cockscomb is also very red, which looks gratifying.

For raising chickens, Liu Yan is still a layman, and it is the first time to raise herbal chickens, and the owner of the farm must be experienced, so he directly asked for advice.

"Boss, I buy these chickens and plan to raise them, I won't feed them when they are older, let them find food in the mountains by themselves, and feed some corn and soybean meal and herbs at night, do you think this kind of hemp chicken is suitable?"

"Yo, boss, you're going to raise chickens, it's a coincidence! You have to use hemp chicken, this kind of chicken is more fierce, like to run, very suitable for stocking in the mountains, but it's not necessary to feed herbs, the taste will be very strange. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it. Liu Yan smiled and nodded.

Then the other three villagers also asked other questions about raising chickens, and Boss Chen answered them one by one, and Liu Yan was also listening silently and kept it in his heart.

"How do you sell the hemp chickens that are slaughtered here?"

"This kind of ah, hey, it's all fed, go to the factory, the nutritional value is not high, ten yuan, the price of retail stocking is good, double this, in the early twenties. ”

"It's only ten yuan!" Liu Yan was shocked, it seems that the price of the chickens raised depends on the breeding method.

"Yo, it's so cheap, so why don't we buy this kind of chicken directly? Liu Erzhu interjected.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Yan's mind, and he carefully pondered Liu Erzhu's words, this is not a joke, it is really something that can be done.

"Boss, when is the fastest growing of this kind of hemp chicken?"

"It depends on how well you feed, generally, one pound to three pounds is the fastest, and if you feed well, it will be done in two months. ”

Liu Yan was suddenly excited, he saw the opportunity to breed herb chickens on a large scale.

"Is there a two-pound or so hemp chicken here?" Liu Yan asked again.

"Yes, there are those under six pounds, do you want it too?"

"Bring me twenty, I'll do an experiment. ”

"It's a little less, but Cheng, I'll count you as eleven pieces. "The boss is not a loser.

"No problem. ”

At this time, several villagers were puzzled and asked Liu Yan what he was coming to do, but he couldn't say, he always felt that this was a big business opportunity, and if it was leaked, the money might be made by others.

In the end, Liu Yan paid the bill, bought 700 hemp chicken seedlings, and 20 medium-sized hemp chickens weighing two catties, and transported them back to the village together.

Halfway through, Liu Yan went to the store at his own expense to buy a few packs of chick feed and followed the truck to the village.

Two cars arrived, and there were already villagers waiting here because they had been notified in advance.

The scene here is very lively, Tofu Shih Tzu also came to help score, before and after more than an hour, the big guy took the chicken seedlings and chicken feed home to be distributed.

"Liu Yan, you are too generous, these chicken feeds are hundreds of yuan, and you give them a share. "Tofu Shih Tzu is a little helpless.

"It's okay, it's not easy for everyone to make money, I also have a good relationship with them, and I will do big things in the future!" Liu Yan's tone seemed very excited.

"What's the big deal?"

"The chicken farm may have to open earlier. Liu Yan beckoned Tofu Shih Tzu to the twenty hemp chickens and whispered to her.

"Auntie, this kind of two-pound or so hemp chicken sold to me for only eleven yuan a catty, you said that I surrounded a chicken farm in the mountains, just put this kind of chicken to raise, find food by yourself during the day, come back at night to eat herbal feed, feed it for two to three months, grow to four catties out of the slaughter, the same is also a herbal chicken! The cost may be a little expensive, but the breeding time is short, you can be slaughtered very early, how about this idea?"

"This ......," Tofu Shih Tzu was dumbfounded, "this is fine, but can the effect work? After all, it has been fed before." ”

"Of course it's okay! feed to two catties, eat herbs and grow two catties, herbs can also improve the physique of chickens, catch up several times a day, let them exercise, absolutely doable!" Liu Yan was completely excited, so that the money can be made quickly, once in two to three months, the price can be lowered a little, and it is also a herbal chicken.

"Then you can give it a try, Liu Yan, how do you have such a brain, my aunt is really convinced. Tofu Shih Tzu agreed with his plan and admired it.

"This is thanks to Uncle Erzhu for reminding me. ”

With a preliminary plan in mind, the next step is to expand.

Liu Yan also thought clearly, the chicken seedlings still have to be raised, distributed to retail households, and the two-pound hemp chickens are raised on a large scale, and the village is surrounded by small hills, and thousands of chickens can be raised around a random one.

However, before carrying out large-scale breeding, Liu Yan needs to use the 20 chickens he bought to conduct experiments, one is to try the formula of herbal feed, and the other is to verify the meat quality of the two-pound hemp chicken after special feeding.

"Auntie, these twenty chickens also have to trouble you to take care of them more. Liu Yan was a little embarrassed, and then said, "I'll give money." ”

Tofu Xi Shi smiled brightly: "It's all my own family, what kind of money do you give, you raise these chickens well, you can make a lot of money, and you will take your aunt to open a chicken farm in the future, and it's too late for your aunt to thank you when the time comes." ”

"Definitely!" Liu Yan was very grateful.

It's April now, although it's spring, but Qinghe Village is in the mountains, at night, the weather is still a little cold, these chicks are only at the apex, there is no hen shelter, it is easy to die of cold.

Tofu Shih Tzu was careful, vacated a place in the firewood room, spread a thick straw, and burned a little charcoal to put around, so that the air here warmed up, although it is troublesome, but it can ensure the healthy growth of the chickens, as long as the weather is warm.

At almost eleven o'clock in the evening, Liu Yan estimated that the medicinal restaurant was closed, and took the opportunity to call Su Yun outside, she had just returned home, and the two chatted for more than half an hour, saying tender and sweet love words, and then Liu Yan told her that she had to stay in the village for the next few days and do a good job in raising chickens.

"Then you have to get in touch with Xiaohua to get in touch with each other. Su Yun didn't care, but laughed.

"She's going to school, so she'll go back to school in the afternoon. Liu Yan was helpless, but he was very happy in his heart, the emotional problems that plagued him were finally solved, Su Yun also saw it very openly, and Zhang Xiaohua was completely unaware, so that he could concentrate on doing his own thing.

In the next few days, in order to settle the twenty chickens, Liu Yan and Zhang Yimin were busy in the vegetable field next door to his house, which was originally sold to Sun Fugui's family, but now Sun Fugui has also run away, so there is no need to worry.

When he was working, Zhang Yimin also said that when Sun Fugui came back, he would buy this piece of land back, or as Zhang Xiaohua's pretense.

Liu Yan smiled when he heard this, this land is estimated to be his in the future, and he can build a big house here, just like the villa in the city, so it's cool to live.

After the fence was erected, twenty chickens were free-range in it, and the vegetables were originally planted in it, and they were not taken care of for a period of time, and the vegetables that were not cleaned were bitten by insects, which was just suitable for the life of these chickens.

In order to facilitate the experiment, Liu Yan also divided the twenty chickens into four groups, and tied ropes with different eye colors to each foot for easy identification.
