Yang Baokun is a local, although he is not very capable, but he still has basic connections, and he is a friend of a relative of the owner of the farm.

Knowing that Ao Muyang wanted to buy chicken seedlings, he called a friend and asked the other party to help talk.

Ao Muyang felt that it was unnecessary, so he bought 100 chicken seedlings, which is a retail household for the hatchery, and maybe now the people in the village can't raise more than 100 chickens.

Chicken seedlings are cheap, not much money, even if you find someone, you will save ten or twenty yuan.

However, there is an advantage that the boss will help him choose chicken seedlings in a serious way, and will not fool him with sick chicken seedlings.

The hatchery is quite large, and the boss who received a call when he went in found a breeder: "You take them around the park to see what chickens they want to buy." ”

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "You have an exhibition area here, right? ”

Hearing this, the breeder smiled: "Dude connoisseur." ”

Modern farms are closed, the isolation is very strong, the purpose is to prevent the spread of germs from the outside world, so outsiders are generally not welcome to enter the park without disinfection and sterilization.

However, the hatchery is large and fully functional, with ultraviolet disinfection rooms.

The keeper took them to do UV disinfection and then went into the breeding area.

The huge farm was divided into many small areas, and as soon as they entered, they first saw a small chick that was not much bigger than an adult's fist.

The feathers of these chickens are brightly colored, and one by one they squat on the ground, and they can magically squat and walk, walking around like a hairball rolling.

Yang Baokun was curious: "Ah, these chickens are interesting, they will squat and walk?"

The keeper laughed: "This is an East Asian bantam, they either squat or walk normally, but they are born with short legs." ”

Yang Baokun asked, "Is this kind of chicken delicious?"

The breeder laughed: "Brother, this is an ornamental chicken, they can grow so big, what you see is adult chickens, do you say they are delicious? Even if they are delicious, they can't be eaten." ”

Yang Baokun was suddenly amazed: "Such a small chicken? ornamental chicken? There are still people who keep it as a pet? Chicken poop can stink to death." ”

Later, there is a pure black chicken and a pure white feather chicken, the breeder introduced, these are two kinds of foreign chickens, one is called Australian black chicken, and the other is called Brace chicken.

These foreign strains of chickens are expensive, and they are delicate, so they have to be served well, Ao Muyang doesn't look down on them, he wants local chickens.

It's not that the local chicken is delicious, but this kind of chicken grows solidly, is not easy to get sick, and can live well even without medicine.

However, the native chicken grows slowly, from brooding to slaughter for more than half a year, even if it is slaughtered, there is not much meat, the rooster can only grow to three and a half catties, and the hen grows to two and a half catties.

The local chickens are called black-headed chickens, also known as Zhang Fei chickens, because their head feathers are pitch black, like the legendary Zhang Fei, and the face is like the bottom of the pot.

The black-headed chicken is a local chicken, but it is not cheap, ordinary domestic chickens such as nine catties of yellow, three yellow chickens, black-bone chickens, big-boned chickens are only four yuan, and the price of broiler chickens is lower, as long as about two yuan, black-headed chickens are six yuan and five one.

This is because the meat rate and egg production rate of local chickens are too low, and they grow slowly, so after the reform and opening up, the local people do not like to raise them, and they have replaced them with fast-growing broiler chickens, resulting in a sharp decline in the number.

Scarcity is expensive, and this is common in all markets.

Considering the loss in the breeding process, Ao Muyang asked for one hundred and twenty chickens.

After selecting the chicken seedlings, the breeder said: "Little brother, we don't send less than 1,000 chicken seedlings, you'd better hire a car to pull it yourself." ”

Ao Muyang said: "Don't worry, I don't just buy chicken seedlings, I also buy others." ”

"Feed and medicine?" asked the keeper, "and if that's it, then we still can't deliver it to your door." ”

Ao Muyang pointed to a kind of iron shelf and said, "I want to buy a set of this, will you deliver it to your door?"

This kind of iron frame is a breeding cage, but it is not an ordinary breeding cage, its name is breeding bed.

As the name suggests, the breeding bed is like a bed, it can be used as an independent farm, can be used to raise chickens, the area is quite large.

One of the great things about the breeding bed is that the bottom is layered, which is divided into several layers, so that chickens and ducks live and defecate on the top, and the feces will be screened layer by layer.

Ao Muyang feels that this function is very helpful to the breeding pond, after the chicken manure is screened, the impurities are left, and the organic matter that falls into the breeding pond is avoided, so as to avoid the trouble of cleaning up the bottom of the pond every once in a while.

A breeding bed costs 5,000 yuan, with an area of 5 or 600 square meters, and can raise thousands of chickens.

Ao Muyang only breeds more than a hundred, which is a bit wasteful.

But he feels that the price doesn't matter, the point is that the function is useful.

He paid the money, and now the farm will provide door-to-door delivery service, and this kind of breeding bed is quite profitable.

Yang Baokun felt that he was wasting: "Xiaoyang, you just buy a few cages, how much does it cost to buy this thing, what a waste." ”

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "I'll try to breed first, if there is a profit from raising chickens, then I will specialize in breeding in the future, and I don't have to go to sea." ”

Yang Baokun nodded, it's okay, his sister and brother-in-law had an accident at sea, and he didn't want this nephew to go to sea again.

I had dinner at my uncle's house, and the next day the breeding bed was delivered with the chicks.

Ao Muyang put the breeding bed on the top of the breeding pond, just covering the breeding pond, which also has the advantage that frogs, water snakes, and water rats can be avoided from stealing fish to eat.

Black-headed chickens are called Zhang Fei chickens, and another reason is that they have a fierce temperament, the same violent temper as Zhang Sanye, frogs and water snakes are their food, and they will definitely be eaten if they dare to get close.

When he had done a good job of raising chicken seedlings, the maintenance of Ao Dao's fishing boats was over, and in late September, they went to sea again.

This time he went to sea, Ao Muyang took Ao Wenchang with him.

Ao Wenchang's parents came to the dock to see him off, as if they were sending their children to school, and when they saw him on the boat, the expression on their faces was so worried.

His mother pulled Ao Muyang and said, "Yangzi, Wenchang hasn't been to the sea much, you take care of him more, you are the leader, you have to take care of him." ”

Ao Muyang said: "Don't worry, auntie, he went to sea safe and sound, and I will definitely bring it back safe and sound!"

"That's good, that's good. Yao Xiuli muttered a few times and then went to tell Ao Wenchang, "Wenchang, going to sea is not as good as being at home, you can't be strong when you go to sea, you have to follow your uncle and them to learn more......

Ao Wenchang behaved well-behaved:

"Hmm. ”

"Okay. ”

"Got it, Mom. ”

"Don't worry. ”

"I see. ”

"Dad, go back. ”

When the fishing boat set off, Ao Wenchang turned his head and suddenly showed a face full of despair: "I'm twenty-five, why do you still treat me as a child?"

Ao Muyang laughed: "Let's go, there will be no children at sea, only men." Come, take me in charge, and I'll go look for fish. ”
