Ecological Farm Author: Farmer on the Fly

Chapter 36 Visiting the Exhibition

On the 22nd, the day when the first batch of chicks entered the pen, Tagawa and Professor Lang made a special trip to the chicken farm under the forest.

At 10 a.m., a truck carrying chicks pulls into the farm and unloads the chicks in front of shed 3 adjacent to the office area. The shed has been disinfected with ultraviolet light, the temperature has been raised to 38°C, and the humidity has been adjusted to 75%, making it look stuffy.

This time, 5,000 one-day-old chicks of Isha brown chickens were transported, and as soon as the brown-red chicks were put on the breeding bed, they immediately chirped and ran around. The right temperature and humidity make them very comfortable.

A disinfection room is set up at the entrance of the chicken shed, and the personnel who enter the chicken shed must go through a change of clothes and air shower disinfection.

At the end of the unloading, it was found that about a hundred chicks had died. It was confirmed that it was because of the low temperature in the transport vehicle, and the chicks were crushed to death by piling up to heat up. Fortunately, the hatchery took into account the possible losses, and installed some more and made up the quantity.

After two hours of observation, the chicks' drinking activities were normal, and Professor Lang instructed the workers to add starter material to the chicks.

The opening material is relatively simple, it is soaked soft millet and corn residue, and the chickens have stepped forward to grab food and squeeze into a ball.

Professor Lang took two students to observe the situation of the chicks, and picked out the abnormal performance and put them in a separate breeding bed for isolation and observation.

For several days in a row, the chicks were in normal condition, growing significantly every day, and everyone was very happy. At this time, the feed has been changed to several formulas designed by Professor Lang, and Professor Tagawa and Lang have returned to Beijing, leaving only An Hong to record the feeding and chick development.

At this time, the feed for trial is composed of corn and other grains and insect meals, and some are added with soybean cake powder, hay powder or fresh vegetable leaves. Chicks added to the latter few foods are only a few, isolated entirely for experimentation.

In the following days, Bailaihang chickens and chai chicken chicks also arrived one after another. At the same time, there was good news that a chicken farm that had originally ordered 2,000 firewood chicks canceled the order due to business reasons, and the hatchery was willing to sell the chicks to them at a 10% discount.

Tagawa was worried that there were too few chicks and immediately accepted it.

The chicks brought in by the chicken farm are all identified hens, and the hatchery promises a failure rate of no more than 5%. Tian Chuan asked for an additional 3,000 roosters, mainly Bai Laihang. Roosters are mainly kept as broilers, and they can also protect hens from natural predators such as snakes and rats.

Tagawa also ordered 30 geese from the hatchery to watch the family.

With the arrival of the chicks, the calm chicken farm suddenly became busy and full of life.

Tian Chuan also bought some alfalfa and barley grass seeds, and sprinkled them around the fish pond and by the guardrail of the chicken farm, so that they could be used as feed for chickens and geese when the weather was warm. Some are also planted around the earthworm greenhouse.

The chicken farm gradually got on the right track, and Tagawa left his hometown and returned to the capital.

In the process of building a chicken farm, he found that there are many things to learn in the field of pollution-free food, and even in the field of planting and breeding in general. He was glad that he had opened the chicken farm earlier, as well as the earthworm farm and vegetable shed, otherwise the future farm would have been in a hurry.

In the first month of school, he was busy and busy, involving machinery factory, fishing gear production, bait factory, fishing tackle shop, fishing club, chicken farm, vegetable greenhouse, real estate, decoration city, network company, calligraphy and painting art, foundation construction, Tai Chi and many other aspects, with a total investment of more than 100 million yuan. Every day is busy from morning to night, and the proportion of work to prepare for the future construction of the farm is very small. It seems that the focus and approach of the work need to be adjusted.

At the end of October, Tagawa received a notice from Carls' that all the items he had commissioned for auction had been auctioned. "Huang Jiguang" was auctioned for 31 million Hong Kong dollars, "Li River Landscape" met two loyal fans of Li Keran, and unexpectedly sold a high price of 10.7 million Hong Kong dollars, Wu Changshuo's seal included a Tian Huangshi, and the total price also reached more than 40 million, deducting the auction house's commission, more than 40 million yuan was put into the account, and the money shortage was temporarily alleviated.

A brochure for the Foundation's special charity auction in Beijing has been printed, and Tagawa has taken 50 copies to distribute to his friends. He kept two volumes for himself, and he planned to ask all the members of the foundation's preparatory committee, participating alumni, representatives of the auction house, as well as Mr. Zhou and the leaders of Yongyang No. 1 Middle School to sign and collect them. This booklet will be an important souvenir in the history of his calligraphy and painting.

The purpose and significance of the auction are detailed in the brochure, and Tagawa himself is impressed by the fact that he is "a new generation leader in the domestic philanthropic world", "the brightest rising star in the world of calligraphy", "the inheritor and innovator of Chinese drawing", and "unlimited potential".

He called Luan Jianjun and others in advance, asking them to find someone to sell at the auction, and fried his sketches to a price of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and his calligraphy to 8,000 yuan a foot, so as to help him make some fame. Luan Jianjun smiled on the phone and said, "Haven't you always kept a low profile? Why did you suddenly become high-profile this time?"

Tian Chuan said: "Since you have entered this industry, you have to work hard." It's too difficult to get ahead in this industry, and many people become famous after they die, so what's the use? “

Soon, the preview of the auction began. Tian Chuan took Xu Jingyi to visit the exhibition.

Liu Tianyu sent 16 works for auction, all of which are high-quality works. Tian Chuan sighed: "Teacher Liu's Wei Bei skills are profound, and he has reached the level of doing whatever he wants, and he is anti-simple and true, which is breathtaking. At present, the average price of 50,000 square feet of works is low. ”

Qu Guodong is a classical realist painting method, the characters are delicate and realistic, and the value of the work is created by composition and plot. Yang Kaiyi's work, on the other hand, is ultra-modernist, full of distorted lines and mottled color patches, and Tian Chuan feels that his level of appreciation is problematic, and he has never been able to resonate with the painter's emotions.

When I finally saw my paintings, I felt that two of them were really featureless, and I was a little ashamed of the 12,000 yuan estimate and 8,000 yuan starting price marked below.

In front of Mr. Zhou's portrait, there is a lady watching. Tagawa and the two stood a little farther away, also looking at the painting. Xu Jingyi said with some sadness: "Teacher Zhou who is sick is much more haggard than usual, and I haven't been to see him since he got sick. ”

Tian Chuan comforted her: "After being transferred to Jin Cancer Hospital, Mr. Zhou's mood has improved a lot, and with active treatment, his complexion has obviously improved a lot. In the painting, Mr. Zhou's face, I refer to the state when I was in the county hospital, the book in my hand and the flowers on the table were all made up by my brain, which is a bit deceiving. After a pause, he said, "Now that Mr. Zhou has completed the operation, the operation is very successful, and he is about to be transferred to the general ward." When this auction is over, I'll take you to see him. ”

At this time, the lady who was looking at the painting in front of her turned around and looked surprised: "Mr. Tagawa?

Tagawa was so impressed by her face that he drew a sketch portrait of her at the airport, but he liked the painting so much that he was reluctant to let her take it. Tagawa thinks it's the best painting he's ever painted.

Tian Chuan pointed to the painting on the wall, and then stretched out his hand to her: "Officially acquaintance, I am this Tian Chuan." Then he jokingly said, "This is the first time I've sold a painting, and I didn't expect them to sell it so high." I paid 5,000 for that painting at the airport that day, and I really didn't lie to you. ”

The lady was also amused, and said, "I really took the painting to the gallery and asked, and they gave it up to six thousand, and I thought you really didn't lie to me." ”

Tian Chuan smiled bitterly: "My own estimate is low, the gallery accepts a work of no famous painter for six thousand, and it is sure to sell for at least two or three or six thousand." It was one of the best paintings I've ever painted. ”

The lady took out a business card from her small bag and handed it to Tian Chuan, who looked at it: Liu Meiting, the owner of Guoyun Tea House, the owner of Guoyun Restaurant. He hurriedly took out a business card from his handbag and offered it. Liu Meiting looked at it, only her name and phone number on her business card, and asked, "Why don't you print your profession?" ”

Tian Chuan said with a smile: "My main job is to be a student, and I am a freshman at Agricultural University, so I don't have much face. This business card is only used for friends to socialize, and it is not used for business, so it is not a whistle. ”

Liu Meiting said: "It seems that I am too vulgar. ”

Tian Chuan Zhengse said: "Looking at the name of your Guoyun Tea House, Sister Liu, you know that it is a high-end and high-grade place, referred to as tall, and people like us are generally not allowed to enter the door." I want to take my girlfriend to show off, and I took your business card, just to bluff your doorman brother. ”

Liu Meiting was amused by him and laughed: "Xiao Tian, your mouth is too damaged, sister, I am almost embarrassed by what you say." ”

Their voices were slightly louder, attracting the eyes of the two audience members next to them. Liu Meiting covered her mouth and said in a low voice: "It's affecting others, let's go out and talk." ”

The three of them walked out of the pavilion together and walked into a café next to it. Liu Meiting ordered Blue Mountain, Xu Jingyi asked for a cappuccino, and when he asked Tian Chuan, he really didn't like coffee, just a glass of white water.

Tian Chuan introduced Liu Meiting to Xu Jingyi, the two girls said hello, and Liu Meiting turned the topic to Tian Chuan, very curious about him. Tagawa didn't say much, just went around in circles on the topic of art. After a while, Tian Chuan received a call from Li Tao, saying that he had arrived outside the exhibition hall, and asked Tian Chuan if he had come, Tian Chuan asked him to wait, and then got up to say goodbye to Liu Meiting.

When I got out of the café, I saw Li Tao, Qi Yong, Luan Jianjun and a person slightly older than them standing at the door of the exhibition hall. Tian Chuan stepped forward to say hello, Qi Yong pulled Tian Chuan in front of the stranger and introduced: "Xiao Chuan, this is my second brother, Qi Gang, you can also call the second brother." He turned his head again and said, "Second brother, this is the little brother I told you, Tian Chuan." Tian Chuan called out to the second brother, said hello to Qi Gang, and then introduced Xu Jingyi to a few people.

Li Tao smiled and said to Xu Jingyi: "Xiao Xu, a few of us have known you for a long time. Ogawa is not authentic, and it was only today that he introduced it to us. ”

Luan Jianjun said beside him: "It's okay to know my younger brothers and sisters sooner or later, but Tian Chuan asked us to help buy paintings, but we have to let him teach him how much it costs, otherwise it will be too ruthless, and I'm afraid that he won't pay for it." ”

Qi Yong said: "That's why I invited the second brother, Xiaochuan, the second brother is here, don't lie to me, the second brother is a professional in art." ”

Qi Gang said: "Tian Chuan, don't listen to their nonsense, I just opened an art management company, and I am more than 108,000 miles away from the artist." ”
