Chapter 239: Whole Village Farming
Machine incubation eggs, there is one more thing to prepare, that is, human hands.
After hatching, these chicks are not cared for by hens, and everything needs to be helped by humans, feeding millet, water, etc.
There are a lot of them, Zhou Heng's family is too late, he is completely busy and can't win, he needs to find some idle women in the village to help, and ask a few days of casual workers to do this.
The chicks can be shipped after a few days of being cared for at home, and handed over to the chicken farm of the cooperative household in the village to start breeding.
It's going to be a busy time.
Relatively speaking, now Zhou Heng is still idle when he stares at the progress of the incubator every day.
The chicken farm is busy now, 6,000 chickens a day, just picking up eggs is not a small project, from morning to night, you have to put it first, put it for two or three days before you can start hatching eggs.
This is only the time of the first eggs, not the peak of egg production.
Last year, Jiang Xiaoxuan also designed a delicacy to participate in the competition, and later put it on the food channel and rebroadcast it, which made people think about it for a while.
Now, the newborn eggs are there again.
However, as long as it is a fertilized laying hen, it can be hatched, regardless of the size of the individual, Zhou Heng does not want to reserve it anymore.
At most, my family will eat some, and I won't sell it, and egg hatching is important.
Eggs can be added to the incubator every day, as long as the date of insertion is recorded so that you have a good idea when the time is ready for hatching, rather than waiting until the number of machines is full.
Zhou Ying saw that the family was so busy, and asked if she wanted to come back to help.
But she also has to take care of Wang Siqi at home, and she also needs to be picked up and dropped off every day when she goes to kindergarten, so Zhou Heng didn't let her come.
This is not something that can be done by adding one more person, and if there is a shortage of manpower, you will honestly ask someone to do it. It's not that they don't pay their wages, but a lot of people are willing to do things.
Moreover, these tasks in the chicken farm are nothing more than tedious and meticulous requirements, and they are not particularly technically difficult.
When the first batch of 300 chicks hatched, it was already time for spring to bloom and everything to recover. At this time, there is a warbler singing and swallow dancing outside, peach red and willow green.
Perhaps there is still a thick layer of ice in the north at this time, and the snow has not yet melted, and there is no sign of recovery at all, but it is already spring here, and the new year's plans have begun.
And further south, in the south, it doesn't even snow in winter, and you can still hold a flower show.
This batch of chickens was taken away by Lao Liu's family and brought to their chicken farm to be raised - a batch of chickens is produced every day, and when they grow up a little, they can be taken away for breeding, rather than waiting until there are 5,000 chickens to take away.
Otherwise, raising 5,000 at once may not be busy, and Zhou Heng may burst the chicken warehouse here.
Take a few hundred to bring back first, slowly and carefully raise, and the next batch will come again, so you don't have to be in a hurry, every family is like this.
The farm, which has been busy since last year, has taken over calmly, from contracting mountainous land, to building chicken coops, to other miscellaneous preparations.
These days, Zhou Heng's family is like a war, and every day they have to take care of the newly hatched ones here, as well as the shipments.
Lao Liu's son Liu Wenlin said last year that he would come over to help with things, and now he has also resigned and come back, and he is just joining the busy army at this time.
Zhou Heng's second uncle and younger uncle, both families also came to help - if they said they were helping, Zhou Heng would definitely pay them their wages.
Although with the increase in egg production, more and more chicks hatch every day, because Zhou Heng hired people at the beginning, he was busy but not chaotic and orderly.
The chicks need to keep vigil at night, take care of feeding water and feeding, etc., so he hires the number of people in three shifts, and there are also people who take care of the chicks at night.
The people in the village only add a batch of hundreds of chickens every few days, but they can also adapt, they are really busy, they all know how to find a way, and call their relatives and the like to come over to help for a few days.
When you start feeding coarse grains, you won't be so busy, and a few people in the family can be busy.
After the process was sorted out smoothly, the work was on track, and Zhou Heng himself didn't need to be so busy, and he could finally take a breath.
This time, it seems that the video has not been updated for half a month, and Jiang Xiaoxuan has taken something by herself and uploaded it.
Fans know that he has started to breed second-generation chickens, and every day a batch of chicks hatches, and then they are picked up by the villagers and raised on the mountain land contracted by each family.
Zhou Heng rested, came to Jiang Xiaoxuan, who was still processing the late stage of the video, to see her skillfully operate the computer, and then reached out and rubbed her head, and said, "I've worked hard for you for a while, little fairy." ”
The main thing is that as soon as he gets busy, he can't take care of anything, and she is still busy with her own affairs.
Jiang Xiaoxuan raised her head, her brows were furrowed on her fair face, her face was crying without tears, and her mouth was deflated, as if she was wronged.
Zhou Heng was happy, this guy was thinking about being coquettish again, probably blaming himself for being busy and not taking care of her.
He stretched out his hands, held both sides of her face, rubbed her facial features, and then took the opportunity to kiss it, and said, "Take a walk, go out and relax, play for a few days, these things are not necessary." I'll take you to pick wild strawberries. ”
His videos weren't updated every day at the beginning, and now they're basically updating at the same frequency, which is no problem.
It doesn't matter if you take a few days off.
Jiang Xiaoxuan's mouth was pinched and deformed, and she slurred her speech and cried: "Let me ask you, have I really become fat?"
Traps, must be traps.
Zhou Heng looked at her seriously, and then replied: "No, not only has she not become fatter, but she is also much more beautiful than before." Eh, have you changed the brand of skin care products recently? ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan burst into tears and laughed, and then pinched his face twice, and said, "Count you talking nicely! I just made a video with me, and she said that I became fat, hum! How is it possible? This fairy will not become fat." ”
She was talking about her best friend Gu Xueshi.
That guy is still tired of being with her lover.
Zhou Heng patted her on the back: "Of course, how can you gain weight by doing so much work every day and eating so little? Oh, by the way, how is their project now?"
You have to find a topic quickly so that you can get this topic confused.
Last time, they talked about Tan Songtao and other students' new projects, so they asked casually.
"The project is not like that, some investors withdraw their capital, new ones come in, and then there are all kinds of change requirements, all of them want to be Party A. Jiang Xiaoxuan said lightly, obviously taking these things for granted.
A project is not so easy to complete. Many blockbusters have experienced investment divestment, which depends on the business vision of major consortia and luck.
There are many films that are optimistic about a project, but they fall into the quagmire, and there are also many films that are distracted, and after the withdrawal of funds, they turn out to be super hot films.
It really has a little to do with their own financial luck.
After some Party A invests, both parties want to participate in the project, put forward various opinions, etc., which will also make the producer big. This phenomenon is also very common.
Zhou Heng had nothing to say: "Oh, those people are so powerful, the first short film got such a big response, aren't investors optimistic? Doesn't it seem very immature to invest and withdraw?"
"Yes, they're still quite good, but some people think that they have only ever released a short film, maybe it's a flash of inspiration? Jiang Xiaoxuan said.
That's too, anyway, in this day and age, there's everything.
Zhou Heng pulled her up and said, "Let's go, don't sit in front of the computer all the time, let's go out and play for a while, and breathe." ”
Then, he raised his hand and beckoned to the big yellow dog lying in the yard: "Go, dog, go out and play." ”
The big yellow dog got up happily and looked at him with his tail wagging his tail.
As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Lao Liu, who came to receive the next batch of chickens, Zhou Heng said hello to them with a smile, and then went to their own places.
Zhou Heng looked at the willow branches that were spitting green outside, and said, "Such a good spring color, isn't it disappointing if you don't come out to see it?"
"I've already filmed these, and I still need you to remind me?" Jiang Xiaoxuan said.
The wind blows coldly, and the spring breeze at this time is very fresh.
"How many chicks have hatched now?" Jiang Xiaoxuan asked.
"It's more than 20,000, and it's still early for Peter's order. Zhou Heng replied.
At first, the number of eggs increased to a few hundred a day, and then the number of eggs increased to thousands a day, and more and more, and after the peak of egg production, the number reached 20,000 in a few days, and there are still chicks hatching every day.
100,000 chicks will be soon.
Of course, when it reaches 100,000, it will not stop, and will continue to hatch a large number of chicks.
Since participating in the exhibition last year, the second generation of chickens has received a lot of orders, and Peter's order is undoubtedly the largest, but he will certainly not be limited to this.
Zhou Heng expects that the total sales of the second generation of chickens this year will be at least more than 500,000, which is the sales task he set for himself.
At last year's exhibition, a small number of orders were also received, and if there were customers who were interested in this, Zhou Heng would contact them.
On the other hand, he will also increase his publicity efforts and do everything possible to find new customers and sales opportunities.
The online store will also generate a part of the sales, and the traffic generated by the rabbit will not be in vain.
These are his sales plans for the second generation of chickens.
In addition, the second-generation chicks will grow into high-quality chickens after being fed with "First Dew" and "Lark Pill", and he will raise some at home - with the amount of experience he has saved so far, he can only raise 10,000 at most.
Although he is too little, there seems to be no better way at present, and he has obtained all the task points every day, but there are only so many.
He will raise the price and make special sales to make the face of the ultimate brand.
Although it is a plan that has been set for a long time, it must be done step by step. The current busyness is also worth it.
After a while, he will start to take the initiative to contact those customers - last year, from the exhibition, he got a lot of high-value customer business cards, he can contact people one by one, this is his old business.
Until then, let's enjoy the momentary time we have now.
