Chapter 427: Snail Room
After saying goodbye to Xu Meiling, Zhang Fan went home directly and took a shower and lay on the bed to play with his mobile phone, mainly talking about love with his girlfriend Zhao Yuqing in WeChat, talking about love, teasing each other with his thoughts, and went to meet with Zhou Xi.
As soon as I slept until the morning, the sun lazily shot out the first rays of brilliance and the second rays of brilliance in the loud crow of the big rooster. As soon as the sun is baked, the morning mist descends and penetrates into the soil, and the freshness of negative oxygen ions rises everywhere.
As the sunlight warmly shone into the window, reflecting the whole room in golden yellow, it was a little dazzling, and Zhang Fan was willing to get up to wash and eat breakfast.
The breakfast is made by the aunt in a different way, with preserved egg and lean pork porridge, pumpkin pie, and stir-fried shredded pork with capers, which are light and delicious. However, when he ate breakfast, he had long since seen his uncle and aunt, because they had already eaten enough and went to the vegetable field.
Although they are often told not to work so hard, they do everything themselves, and just ask someone to take care of the vegetable garden, but the two elders just can't be idle, they like to do farm work in the field, and they also talk about exercising. Zhang Fan had no choice but to sleep until he woke up naturally, and they were busy.
After two bowls of porridge, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, went to the utility room and took out a straw hat, and went to inspect the valley.
When he came to the edge of the valley, Zhang Fan met Uncle Hua who came out for a walk with a fighting, and said with a smile: "Uncle Hua, it's early." These fighting cocks are alive and kicking, and they are very energetic, not bad. ”
"Thank you owner for the compliment. I don't know, is the boss coming over today to inspect the chicken farm or to go to the orchard?" Uncle Hua asked with a warm greeting.
"Neither. Before the Chinese New Year, let a small engineering team come back to build a snail house after the New Year, and now I just come to see how it is built. Do you want to come along?" replied Zhang Fan.
"Boss Zhang still wants to raise snails, isn't that thing a pest?" Uncle Hua glared in shock, extremely puzzled.
In his eyes, snails are really not a good thing. In the past, his vegetable field was ravaged by snails, and all the cabbage and leeks he planted were gnawed into thousands of holes, and a place of less than 10 square meters could catch 100 snails in one night.
Think about it, the death of hundreds of snails with stones, and the situation of manure is still vivid.
"yes! I'm going to raise snails. It's just that the white jade snails that can be eaten are not the same as the snail varieties that harm plants and vegetables. Zhang Fan explained.
He has also heard of snails that specialize in mutilating plants, such as the spherical snail of the same type and the gray snail. They specialize in eating forest seedlings, young leaves, vegetables and flowers, etc., and the leaves and stems are damaged, the stiff seedlings are late, and the seedling rate is reduced.
After listening to the explanation, Uncle Hua realized that what the boss wanted to raise turned out to be edible snails, and it was not the same as the snails he knew.
In a flash of thought, he seemed to think of something, if the boss raised snails, wouldn't he have to find someone to work again?
When he returned home for the Chinese New Year, many people asked him to introduce jobs, and now he had the opportunity to talk to the boss.
The edge of the valley happened to be leeward, so Zhang Fan used this as an ideal place to raise snails for a long time.
The construction of the snail house was very simple, he asked the small engineering team to build ten breeding sheds with steel bars 20 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2 meters high, covered with plastic foam boards around the sheds, and cultivated in a soil hotbed.
Inside is a long, one meter wide plate type poured with cement, with four layers, the height of the layer is half a meter, each layer has a screen window fence, and the 15 cm thick sandy vegetable garden soil containing humus is relatively rich and loose can be put into use.
After shopping around with Uncle Hua, Zhang Fan found that the construction quality of the snail house was good, in addition to covering it with plastic foam boards, he also used plastic sheeting on the walls and ceilings of the house to stick to the walls and ceilings, and the roof was also fixed with plastic sheets, and the junction was also glued with plastic bags, and the ventilation, heat preservation and hygiene of the breeding house were well noticed.
"Boss, your snail house is not small, how many snails are you going to raise?" Uncle Hua asked.
"The density of about 100 to 200 per square meter, about 60,000 to 100,000. Zhang Fan thought for a moment and said.
"Ugh!"
is a breeding scale of more than 10,000 again, Uncle Hua feels like a big boss like a madman, with a lot of money, he is generous in everything he raises, and he is very profitable, which is simply crazy.
"Boss, are you still short of people? There are many people in Weijiagou who want to come to Zhangjiazhai to work. Uncle Hua looked at Zhang Fan and said tentatively.
The work in Zhangjiazhai can be said to be close to home, with a lot of money, good treatment, and a good boss, and people in a radius of 100 miles are eager to come and eat. However, this kind of opportunity requires fate, just like Wei Shun, if he hadn't brought someone to open the mountain to plant grapes for Boss Zhang Fan, they would have been hanging if they wanted to get in touch with others.
"It's better to be as capable as Uncle Hua, so I don't have to worry about it. Seeing that someone introduced employees over, Zhang Fan was very happy and saved a lot of effort, and readily agreed.
"Boss, if you raise a fighting, I dare to guarantee that you can do it all. But no one in the village has ever raised snails, so it's hard to say. Uncle Hua said worriedly.
"Actually, it's not difficult to raise snails. White jade snails like high temperatures, high humidity, dark and humid environments, create high temperature and humidity for them as much as possible, and keep the environment quiet and clean. It is necessary to pay close attention to the temperature and humidity of the breeding room and the permeability and air permeability of the breeding beds. Of course, people with dense phobias may have tingling on the scalp. ”
After talking about the habits of white jade snails, Zhang Fan focused on the key points and precautions for raising white jade snails, and then asked Uncle Hua to agree to find a suitable candidate.
The problem of the site is solved, the problem of personnel is solved, and the rest is the supply of feed and the procurement of high-quality snail seedlings.
The white jade snail is an omnivorous animal, like a variety of vegetables containing a lot of chlorophyll and a variety of proteins, minerals and vitamins, some leaves, aquatic plants, stems and leaves of leafy crops, such as: Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cabbage, loofah, beans and various melons and fruits, Tengben plant leaves, etc. are good feed. At the same time, rice bran, corn flour, soybean meal, straw, etc., which are relatively easy to eat, are also their daily meals.
These things are everywhere in Zhangjiazhai and Qingtian Village, and the cost of feed is very low after taking local materials and letting the personnel recycle them directly.
He came over from time to time to open a small stove for the snails and feed some diluted spiritual water, which could definitely raise the most beautiful and tasteful white jade snails.
As for the seedlings, please Manager Liang is right. That person is most familiar with agricultural and sideline products, and he has a wide range of channels, so he is not afraid of being deceived. Then the epidemic prevention and then say hello to Li Xiaojun's side, it will be basically safe.
"Uncle Hua, it's hard for you to recruit people in the snail room. Remember to look for a responsible person in charge, and the salary is the same as that of a chicken farm!"
After explaining Uncle Hua, Zhang Fan called the contractor of the small engineering team to confirm the acceptance, and by the way, the number was settled.
