Zhou Sining had already planned it in her heart when she saw the quail eggs on the set, and she was going to raise quails first.

The main reason is that quail lays eggs quickly, with little investment and low risk. Quail can lay eggs after 40 days, but chickens can only lay eggs after three months.

Moreover, the cycle of raising chickens is relatively long, and chickens eat more than quails, and if hygiene or prevention cannot keep up, it is easy to break out of various diseases, and the possibility of accidents is greater.

The quail, a bird, looks like a small one, but in fact, its disease resistance is stronger than that of chickens, ducks, geese and other birds, and it usually does not need to be managed by breeding.

Speaking of economic benefits, it stands to reason that the nutritional value of quail eggs is higher than that of eggs, and the nutritional value of the same amount of quail eggs is about twice that of eggs. It's just that according to what I observed in the last market, people are still in the process of eating at this time, and few people will consider the nutritional value, so the market for quail eggs may be smaller than the market for eggs.

But for a penny, she can barely accept it.

To sum up, for her, a farmer who only rents three rooms, raising quails does not require much feed, the investment is small, the area is small, and the taste is not large. In addition, raising quails is not labor-intensive, and it is not as heavy as raising chickens, so this project is very suitable for her now.

So she went home and looked for materials and made such an incubation bucket.

As for the eggs, she had already prepared them, and she bought a total of 110 quail eggs for the first batch of hatching.

Zhou Sining finally checked the hatching bucket, and theoretically it was perfect, now it is up to us to see if it can actually perform its intended function.

She pushed the door and went outside to bring in a piece of honeycomb coal, first opened the coal stove in the house, stacked the honeycomb coal on the briquette inside, waited for a while, and after the lower briquette ignited the upper briquette, she hooked the honeycomb coal on top with an iron hook.

She looked inside the room, found a relatively flat place near the bed, and put the honeycomb coal on the ground, and then she put the iron hook next to the stove, walked over and picked up the barrel and put it on the honeycomb coal.

At the bottom of the barrel she drilled a few holes with nails so that oxygen could be brought in so that the honeycomb coal placed in it would not go out. And those few eyes are very small, and the air that penetrates in can't make the honeycomb coal inside burn too strongly. This saves fuel and controls temperature.

Of course, this alone is not enough, the bottom of the hatching bucket is hollow, Zhou Sining felt the temperature in the bucket come up, picked up a log cover and put it on the bottom layer under the hatching bucket.

She waited for a while, felt the temperature in the bucket rise again, she picked up a log lid and put it in the hatching bucket, there was a gap between the two log lids, and there was air inside, and she used this air to conduct and control the temperature.

In this way, she added a log lid to the bucket while feeling the temperature, adding a total of four, and felt that the temperature in the bucket was about 30 degrees before she proceeded to the next step.

She took out a small quilt she had made and spread it on the fourth round lid.

I didn't buy cotton, so I had to tear down her quilt first and make such a small quilt. So in order to do something career, she is also hard enough.

After laying out the quilt, she carried the basket and put more than 100 quail eggs in it, then took warm water and sprinkled it on top to keep the humidity inside, and finally closed the top lid.

The temperature at which the quail hatches is about 37 to 39 degrees, and there is about 30 degrees in the bucket just now, and now the lid is closed, and the temperature inside can be raised for a while, so that the temperature of the quail eggs can be reached.

After making the hatching bucket, she can't be idle, and the little quail will hatch in more than ten days, and she has to make the box for the quail during this period.

"Fu Lei, are you okay with anything on the weekend?" Zhou Jiguo took out the towel around his neck and the sweat on his face.

"You don't know me yet, just my brother, what can happen. What's the matter, what's wrong with you?" Fu Lei put the car on the ground, and then did the same as him, took out the towel around his neck and began to wipe his face.

The only difference between the two of them is that the towel around Zhou Jiguo's neck can still see some color, and Fu Lei's towel can't be seen at all in the original color.

"Something, I want to go out of town on the weekend to chop some firewood, if you're okay, do me a favor." Zhou Jiguo waved his hand and threw the towel to his neck again.

"Okay, I have the strength, as long as I take care of the food. Fu Lei said with a smile.

"That's for sure, that's it. Zhou Jiguo looked at the overseer a few times here, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, and bent down to continue moving bricks.

"Hey, don't move, let's change, you can rest. Fu Lei saw that he was going to move bricks again, so he hurriedly walked over to change shifts with him, "You can just call me then." ”

The two of them are considered to be co-workers, one pushes bricks and the other moves bricks. Zhou Jiguo has been partnering with Fu Lei for half a month, and he has a good impression of him.

This person has a lot of strength, and he doesn't work slippery, knowing that Zhou Jiguo is only sixteen years old, and when the two are partners, he always rushes to do heavy work.

He said: "You can grow for another two years, at this time, let's take it easy, but don't be like me, being crushed into pieces." ”

In fact, Fu Lei is not short, why is there a 1.7273 meter, but this size is really not visible in the north.

Just because of this, Zhou Jiguo has a feeling of sympathy for him.

Later, when chatting with other workers, he talked about Fu Lei's family, and when he heard it, he immediately felt that the two of them were too fateful, both in terms of family and experience, they were very similar.

Fu Lei's family is in the city, and I heard that his parents are workers, but his eldest son is not happy with his parents. He also has a younger brother and a younger sister below him, and his mom and dad actually went directly past him and gave the job to his younger sibling, just because they felt that it was easy to find a partner if they had a job.

It's true, because he didn't work, he hasn't even pulled a woman's hand since he was twenty-one, and his brother and sister were seventeen years old when they were sixteen.

Later, because his brother's family and sister's family lived with his parents, he saw that there was really no place for him at home, so he carried a small bag and went out by himself.

Didn't he also come to H City, and became a co-worker with Zhou Jiguo.

"It's okay, I just did it for a while, you can rest too. Zhou Jiguo rushed to move bricks. He is embarrassed to always let people take care of him, the same is a part-time job, the same is to earn money, how can he always let people do more just because people have a lot of strength.

"I'm not tired, don't you know me, nothing else, that's all there is left. Fu Lei said with a smile, he really regarded Zhou Jiguo as a little brother.
