Chapter 0185 - The Plan for the Laying Hen
After lunch, a bottle of Confucian wine was drunk by Wang Shaodong and Li Hong.
After drinking the Confucian wine, Wang Shaodong did not feel homesick at all, but felt that the warm hospitality of Li Hong and his wife made him very happy, and planned to stay for two more days.
Li Hong has the habit of taking a lunch break at noon, because he has to go to the chicken coop once or twice every night to observe, and in winter, he has to take care of the warm hearth in the chicken coop, so the sleep at night is very insufficient for him, and he can only compensate for it by taking a nap during the day.
Li Hong first urged Wang Shaodong to go to the second floor to take a nap, and then went to take a nap himself. Otherwise, it would be a bit rude to take a nap and leave the guests alone in the living room to watch TV.
The biggest difference between the second floor and the first floor of Li Hong's house is that the first floor is tiled, while the second floor has no such thing at all, and the walls and ground are built with cement.
After all, in 2003, it was very good to be able to afford a two-story small western-style building, and as for the interior decoration, everything was basically simple and frugal.
Li Hong went back to his bedroom to sleep, and then Wang Shaodong was the only one left on the second floor, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Some people are sleepy after drinking, while some people are so excited that they can't sleep after drinking, Wang Shaodong is the latter.
Sitting on the wooden bed he was going to sleep on in the past two days, Wang Shaodong first looked at the overall situation on the second floor. The distribution of rooms on the second floor is basically the same as that on the first floor, there is a large room in the middle, two rooms on each side, and the big room in the middle is now a warehouse, where food, sundries and other things are placed, and then because the room is too big, so in order to make the house look not so empty, then Li Hong put a bed that should have been placed in the guest bedroom in the middle room.
Wang Shaodong saw some books piled up in the corner of the room, so he was curious to go over and look at them. I flipped through it, and it was full of martial arts and books about fighting crickets.
Sidian Town is the hometown of cricket fighting, and the locals like to fight crickets a lot, and Li Hong is also an avid enthusiast in this area. In his previous life, Wang Shaodong once heard Li Hong say that he likes fighting crickets because they can be sold for money. Every year from the end of August to the beginning of November in the solar calendar, in two and a half months, many local people make a living by catching insects, and they can earn 10,000 yuan in two months, and a good insect with good luck can sell tens of thousands.
The huge economic benefits drove Li Hong to study fighting crickets, so he bought many secretaries in this area.
In addition, Li Hong is also a senior martial arts lover, what Jin Guliang, what Wen Li Huang, what "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Little Eight Righteousness" or something, he watches it with relish.
Wang Shaodong picked up a book of martial arts, looked at it a few times, and then shook his head and threw it aside. Compared with the fast-paced Internet in later generations, these ancient martial arts really can't arouse their interest.
Throwing away the martial arts, Wang Shaodong walked to the window.
Li Hong's home is located at the edge of their village, and then his family's chicken greenhouse is not far from the north of his house, about ten meters away from their house.
Standing by the window, Wang Shaodong looked at Li Hong's chicken farm, and then looked into the distance.
It is a plain, and as far as the eye can see, there are fertile fields, and the wheat is growing well, and it will be harvested in about a month and a half.
However, looking at the scene in front of him, it didn't take long for Wang Shaodong to shake his head and sigh again.
"Hey, there are so many good lands, I'm afraid how many people will maliciously occupy them in the future to get compensation from the state. ”
People in the mountains, when they came to the plains for the first time, were actually a little excited when they saw the scene of the flat river. Just like the first time people in the south see snow, and the people in the plains see the mountains for the first time, they will have some inner waves. However, Wang Shaodong had seen all the mountains, snow, sea, plains, etc. in his previous life, so there are not many ripples in his heart now.
Wang Shaodong stood by the window for nearly an hour, and then heard Li Hong's voice downstairs, so he hurriedly went downstairs.
"Dongzi, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Li Hong and his wife were both very enthusiastic and did not feel that Wang Shaodong's arrival had brought trouble to them.
"I changed places, and some couldn't sleep. ”
That's a good reason, but it's not a real reason.
"This looks, by the way, Dongzi, don't you want to see how laying hens are raised, I'm going to my chicken coop now, do you want to go together?"
Of course, Wang Shaodong nodded.
"Okay. ”
Then Li Hong rushed to play with Li Qing in the living room, and his wife said, "I went to the chicken coop with Dongzi." ”
"Okay, you go. ”
Walking on the road, Wang Shaodong saw that the streets here were wider and straighter than the streets in their hometown. The roads in the mountain villages are all winding and winding through the mountains, while the roads in the plain villages are easy to plan, and it is much easier to build roads than in the mountain villages.
There are relatively few stones in the plain area, so most of the surrounding houses are built with red bricks, and there are bluestone slabs everywhere in the mountain village, so there are many stone houses in the mountain village.
Following Li Hong to the chicken coop, Wang Shaodong saw that Li Hong's chicken cage was obviously different from his own, his own chicken coop was standardized at first glance, and their chicken coop looked like they should have spent money to buy materials, and then found someone to weld it. There is a huge difference in cost between products produced on an assembly line and products that are almost entirely handmade. Although Li Hong is very good at raising chickens, it is impossible to say that he is the same as Wang Shaodong, and he has almost all the grasp of consulting. After all, Wang Shaodong is a reborn.
While helping Li Hong fill the chickens, Wang Shaodong listened to Li Hong explain the precautions for laying hens.
The biggest difference between laying hens and broiler chicken breeding is that the feeding cycle of laying hens is much longer than that of broiler chickens. Raising firewood roosters, raising to 7 months is already a very old chicken, if it can not be sold at a high price, the high cost of feed will make farmers lose their money. However, laying hens are different, the laying cycle of ordinary laying hens is about one year, plus the early chick breeding, the whole laying hen feeding cycle can reach 16 months.
The longer the feeding cycle requires farmers to face more problems.
Next, Wang Shaodong decided to use the free time of these few days to learn more from Li Hong about the experience of breeding, and then asked Li Hong to contact some laying hens for himself, and prepare a piece to take back to the Songbai Mountain in Taohualing, and start raising laying hens on the mountain.
