Chapter 294: Fish Feed
Early the next morning, Xu Fang first went to the bottom of the bridge, recruited ten workers, and then took these people to walk towards the earthworm farm.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Jie came with ten large trucks.
"How much is this?" Xu Fang looked at the boxes of earthworms and asked curiously.
"Eight hundred tons, it looks like a lot, and it seems less when it is placed in our breeding base, but this time it is all mature earthworms, and it can grow quickly in half a month. With this time, I will study more feed production, otherwise there will be a surplus of earthworms. ”
Xu Fang didn't have any opinion on Zhou Jie's words. If fish feed and bird feed can be developed, Xu Fang will definitely spend resources to promote, sales can rise, and he will also expand the earthworm breeding base to produce more vermicompost dung.
Zhou Jie first explained to the workers how to raise earthworms, and then asked the workers to start laying livestock manure and then put the earthworms on it. After a busy morning, the earthworms were all stocked.
In the evening, Xu Fang followed Zhou Jie to her house.
I haven't seen Xu Fang for a long time, and Zhou Jie is also extremely enthusiastic, from seven o'clock in the afternoon to ten o'clock, until the last bit of strength is consumed, Xu Fang is not let go.
In the next few days, Xu Fang was busy working in Yuehai Village.
Now the rice wine and ceramics in Yuehai Village have always been in demand.
Especially in the ceramic shop, the productivity is relatively low, in order to make the shop look less empty, Xu Fang specially marked a few ceramics are not for sale, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation that the ceramic store has no goods.
Although both of these shops sell goods, porcelain burning and sake brewing are very cultural, so they are quite popular with tourists.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Fang also kept wondering whether to find some craftsmen to enrich the scenic spots in the next scenic spot.
Five days passed in a snap of his fingers, and early this morning, Xu Fang received a call from Sun Yong.
"Brother Xu, the 230,000 chicks have all been hatched, and they will be delivered at eight o'clock today, you have time to pick them up. Sun Yong's hearty voice came.
Xu Fang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Cheng, remember what I told you no, divide it into two groups, and send one to Sushan Village." ”
"Rest assured, it's all right. Sun Yong assured.
Xu Fang also put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Okay, then thank you, brother, you came with me this time, right? You go to Sushan Village, this time I have to trouble you to help me promote the knowledge of chicken feeding in the lower mountains." ”
"Okay!" Sun Yong was still happy to help with this little favor.
Zheng Xiulan was instructed to let the villagers pick up the chicks, and Xu Yi took a car to Sushan Village.
In the taxi, Xu Fang called Wang Yun, the head of Sushan Village. When he knew that the pheasant seedlings were coming, Wang Yun was also very excited.
When Xu Fang arrived at Sushan Village, he found that the villagers were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
"Aren't you just letting everyone arrive at eight o'clock, it's just seven forty-five, you are all waiting for the old meeting, right?" got out of the car, Xu Fang complained.
Wang Yun said with a smile: "I'm also afraid that I won't be able to catch up, the time is too rushed, and I told the villagers to gather at eight o'clock, and everyone is looking forward to it, so we all have a meeting in advance." ”
Xu Fang nodded and said gently: "Wait a while, it will be here soon, and everyone has no opinion on the number of chicken coops that each villager has been distributed, right?"
"It's not easy to satisfy everyone, so I've given one or two more chicken coops to other poor families under the principle of fairness. ”
Hearing Wang Yun's words, Xu Fang also relieved himself. Wang Yun really didn't have a bad heart, at least he didn't play an official role in answering the question.
At eight o'clock, there was a roar of cars. Soon, three trucks came into view.
"It's coming!"
"I hear a rooster crow!"
"I heard it too!"
Seeing the car coming, there was some commotion in the crowd.
Three minutes later, three trucks stopped on the side, and the rugged-looking Sun Yong jumped out of the car first.
"Haha, Brother Xu, I didn't expect your business to grow again. Sun Yong laughed and said, "Thanks to you, my business here has also risen this year." ”
Xu Fang also had a good impression of Sun Yong, who had a bold personality, and said: "As long as Brother Sun's chicken seedlings are of good quality, this cooperation will always be possible." ”
"Brother Xu, don't worry, I won't cut off our long-term cooperation for the sake of small profits. Sun Yong hurriedly assured.
"Village Chief Wang, there are a hundred pheasant seedlings in this box, how many can the villagers receive, you read here, and then let the villagers move. Xu Fang commanded.
"Okay!" Even Wang Yun was waiting anxiously at the moment, hurriedly finding out the list and signing up one by one.
"Zhou Dahai, six boxes!"
"Zhou Qin, six boxes!"
"Wang thought, four boxes. ”
"Chen Tianci, four boxes!"
Wang Yun read the names one by one, and the compartments of the three trucks were opened, and the villagers carried them quickly.
In just over a quarter of an hour, all three truckloads of chicken seedlings were unloaded by the villagers.
Xu Fang saw that it was almost over, and said loudly: "Folks, everyone open the box and take a look, there are dead and sick chicks to say it, and we will replace it." ”
The villagers also opened the box and inspected it when they heard this, but the chicks hatched by Sun Yong were indeed carefully selected, the quality was good, and the mortality rate was very low. Of the 150,000 chicks, there were more than 100 chickens.
Sun Yong followed the villagers to the chicken coop on the mountain and began to explain to the villagers how to raise pheasants.
Almost every villager has raised farm chickens, and the pheasant has stronger vitality, and it is not too troublesome to raise, Sun Yong explained the breeding method several times, and the villagers have also learned.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the villagers, let Wang Yun call him if he had something, and Xu Fang drove towards Yuehai Village.
Jingle Bell -
As soon as he left Sushan Village, Xu Fang's mobile phone rang, and seeing that the number was Zhou Jie's, Xu Fang pressed answer: "Sister Zhou, what's the matter?"
Zhou Jie's voice was full of joy: "Xu Fang, I have researched the feed to feed the fish!"
"Where are you now?" Xu Fang's heart moved.
"On earthworm farms. ”
"You wait for me for half an hour, and I'll drive over. ”
"Okay, come on. ”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fang turned the car and went straight to the suburbs.
Half an hour later, Xu Fang parked the car and walked towards Zhou Jie's office. When he arrived at the door, Xu Fang knocked on the door three times.
The door was quickly opened by Zhou Jie, and the white shirt worn by Zhou Jie today looked like a female boss. But I don't know if the button is not buttoned well or what, I can vaguely see the dumplings inside, which makes people's hearts pound.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, you're so beautiful today. Xu Fang exclaimed.
"It's sweet in your mouth. Zhou Jie smiled: "If you like it, marry your sister home, and you can be a small one." ”
Xu Fang sweated profusely when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Zhou is so beautiful, who dares to let you be a small one, by the way, where is the feed you have researched?"
The loss in Zhou Jie's eyes flashed away, and sure enough, his charm still couldn't catch Xu Fang. But soon Zhou Jie was relieved that it was very good for herself and Xu Fang to maintain their current state. Taking a deep breath, she found a wooden box and handed it over, "It's all here." ”
Xu Fang looked at the fish feed in the wooden box, which was small and granular, brown in color, and exuded a faint fragrance.
"What is this for?" Xu Fang asked curiously.
"The main role is to raise ornamental fish, and it is suitable for most ornamental fish. Good fish feed should be rich in protein, minerals, vitamins and fats. The main ingredient of our fish feed is earthworms, which are very rich in protein and add vitamins and minerals. Pure natural and pollution-free, very rich in nutrition, suitable for the growth of fish at all stages, and has many effects, in addition to faster development, it can also make fish grow more beautiful. ”
Listening to Zhou Jie talking here, Xu Fang's eyes also lit up. Not to mention anything else, Xu Fang felt that if he had raised ornamental fish, listening to Mr. Zhou's words, he would definitely buy some to try.
"Are you so sure, these feeds have these effects, and do the fish like to eat them?" Xu Fang asked the key question.
Zhou Jie's eyes widened, and he said, "Of course I'm sure, my sister is an expert in studying earthworms, and she still doesn't know its nutritional value?" As for whether you like to eat or not, you can come and see. ”
Zhou Jie's office is 16 square meters, and the place is not small. Next to the bookshelf, there is a fish tank.
Because he came in to talk about things, Xu Fang didn't pay much attention to the situation here, and when Zhou Jie reminded him, he found that there were many kinds of fish in the fish tank: koi, red crucian carp, black fairy, blue colorful fish, guppies, arowana and all kinds of goldfish.
It's so varied that it's dizzying.
"Eldest sister, your fish tank is not big, but you have a lot of fish. Xu Fang smacked his lips.
"Isn't this for the sake of being real, the fish tank forgot to change to a bigger one, you can see it. Zhou Jie grabbed a handful of fish feed and threw it directly into the water.
The calm and leisurely situation in the fish tank was suddenly broken, and the fish scrambled to swim up to compete for food.
After a while, the handful of food was eaten by the fish.
"Haven't you been hungry for days?" Xu Fang's eyes widened in surprise.
Zhou Jie rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "What about me!"
"Hehe, I'm not surprised. Xu Fang also grabbed a handful of fish feed and threw it in, and the result was the same as just now, and the fish swam up again to grab food.
Xu Fang is trustworthy of Zhou Jie's character, since she said that there is no problem with this fish feed, it is basically not a big problem.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Fang asked, "Is this fish feed production troublesome, and how much does it cost?"
Zhou Jie pondered for a moment and calculated for Xu Fang: "The main ingredient is earthworms, with mineral salts, vitamins, components and amino acids, fishmeal and other ingredients, the cost of one catty of fish feed, if you count earthworms, is about twenty yuan." The production is relatively simple, that is, according to the proportion, the required raw materials are stirred evenly, and then the production is made. There are even those that sell this kind of machine. ”
Zhou Jie said all the good news, Xu Fang asked: "Earthworms are raised by ourselves, if this cost is not calculated, how much does a pound of feed cost?"
"Counting all kinds of labor costs, it's only five or six yuan a catty. Zhou Jie estimated.
"How much do you think the price is appropriate?" Xu Fang asked again.
"The price of a pound of fish feed of general quality is twenty or thirty. Our healthy and natural boutique, the price is more cost-effective at a pound of forty. But we are not a brand, I don't know if customers recognize it. Zhou Jie was a little worried: "If we are a big brand, someone will buy it if it is sold to eighty." ”
Xu Fang thought about it and said: "This price is not expensive at all, most of the people who have money to buy ornamental fish have a good family background." And the fish don't eat much, a pound of feed is enough for a long time, and they don't care about this money. In this way, you go buy a machine now, make some feed out, and I will promote the sales and try it. ”
