In Li Hong's house, Wang Shaodong followed Li Hong to learn the breeding experience of laying hens on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also inquired about Li Hong's situation on the side to see if it was possible to dig Li Hong over.

If Li Hong is brought to Songbai Mountain, then all the problems related to raising chickens will be solved.

However, Wang Shaodong saw that Li Hong's family still had a seventy-year-old mother, although he was still relatively healthy and did not live with Li Hong, but because Li Hong's brother was himself, he had no intention of working elsewhere.

On the third day of arriving in Sidian Town, Li Hong took time out to borrow a van and took Wang Shaodong to Sankong City to have a look.

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong had been to Sankong City and was surprised by the unusually low prices around Sankong Normal University.

In 2007, Wang Shaodong went to the Galaxy Group in Zou Cheng to play with his classmates, and then the two of them made an appointment to go to Sankong. Sankong is the hometown of Confucius, and the Confucian Mansion in Sankong City is also a place that has been valued by all dynasties, and it is now also a very famous tourist attraction.

The two of them had a meal at a roadside shop in a small alley next to Sankong Normal University, asked for four dishes, and one drank two bottles of beer. A bottle of beer costs five yuan, and then a plate of vegetables without meat costs two yuan, and a plate with meat costs three yuan.

After eating, Wang Shaodong and his classmates then took a rickshaw to visit the Confucian Mansion, and walked a short distance, but the other party only asked for two yuan.

The whole city is immersed in an antique charm, and the slow pace of life is like the blood of the calm Confucian scholars in ancient times.

The trip to Sankong in his previous life was a bit smart, so Wang Shaodong went to the Confucian Mansion and went back home in a hurry. Then as for the Confucian Forest and the Confucian Temple, there is no chance to visit it.

This time, Li Hong brought Wang Shaodong to come, and directly bought a three-hole package ticket, planning to visit all three places.

Confucius was a descendant of a merchant who preached the Zhou rites all his life, and finally became a sage flaunted by all dynasties, and then in modern times he was defeated by crazy criticism, but now he suddenly has to be resurrected, which is really incredible.

Li Hong accompanied Wang Shaodong, and then the work of taking care of the children and the chickens in the chicken coop and Li Qing at home all fell on Li Hong's wife.

Li Hong's first child is a daughter, and according to the policy, he can have a second child.

Wang Shaodong's memories in his previous life are remembered very clearly, Li Hong's first daughter Li Qing is twelve years younger than himself, and then his second daughter Li Xue is twenty years younger than himself. By next year, that is, in 2004, Wang Shaodong will be twenty years old, and then Li Hong's youngest daughter should also be born. In this way, Li Hong's wife should be about to become pregnant.

After a turn in Sankong, the time was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and then Wang Shaodong discussed with Li Hong that he wanted to go to the chick hatchery to have a look, and wanted to go to 500 laying hens first.

Wang Shaodong heard Li Hong say that there was a new batch of breeding chickens in the hatchery, which was called Nongda No. 3. This is a domestic breed, egg production can reach about 40 pounds, is a very excellent breed of laying hens.

For laying hens and laying hen breeds, Wang Shaodong didn't have much memory in his previous life, and then he listened to Li Hong.

In 2003, although the technology has been highly developed, and the chick hatching technology has been very advanced, but looking at the entire Luzhong City, there is not even a decent hatchery.

Of course, it is not that there are no chick hatcheries in Luzhong City, but that the chick hatcheries in Luzhong City are very backward.

Large chick hatcheries have long been using constant temperature incubators to hatch chicks, and then by 2003, there was still a farmer in Fangjiazhuang Village, Dazhai Township, using traditional kerosene lamp incubators to hatch chicks.

Fangjiazhuang farmers hatch the local grass chicken, this breed has no breeding advantages, the rooster can generally only grow to about four catties, and the hen grows to more than two catties, and then the hen produces an egg volume of about ten catties. Moreover, the individual weight of grass eggs is also very small, which is much worse than that of bred varieties.

Wang Shaodong and Li Hong came to the chick hatchery to inquire whether there were any chicks out of the shell of Nongda No. 3. The sales staff at the hatchery told them that a batch of chicks would come out the day after tomorrow.

The incubation time of the chicks is 21 days, and the people of Luzhong City have a scolding after the break, called "you are the eggs that do not shell in 21 days", which translates to "you are a bad egg". If the egg is hatched for 21 days and no chick is hatched, then the egg will be broken and will become a "bad egg".

Among them, the chicks that hatch in the first half of the 20th day are particularly strong, and the chicks that hatch in the second half of the 21st day are weak chickens.

Then from day 22 onwards, there are no eggs hatching in the incubator, and it needs to be processed. In general, these eggs that have not hatched chicks, after opening the shell, are full of hairy chicks, but the chicks are not well developed because the nutrition of the eggs themselves cannot be reached, and they do not have the strength to peck open the thin shell. Most of the chicks that come out of the eggs do not survive, and only a very few chicks do.

For this kind of egg with hair inside after opening, commonly known as hairy egg, in fact, if you stir-fry, the taste is quite good. However, some people will find this kind of thing disgusting and refuse to eat it.

Since a batch of No. 3 Agricultural University was about to hatch out, Wang Shaodong decided to stay in Li Hong's house for another two days.

For Wang Shaodong, who came out of thin air, Li Hong and his wife were also very happy. In Li Hong's house, Wang Shaodong was not idle, helping to do this and that, and then he was also an expert inside and outside the chicken coop, and he could do more work. With such a capable helper all of a sudden, Li Hong and his wife were naturally very happy.

And Wang Shaodong is also very satisfied with Li Hong and his wife, good wine and good food are served, and they can also learn a lot of experience in raising laying hens, this kind of free learning, of course, I feel very satisfied.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Hong called the hatchery, saying that the chicks were starting to fall into the plate.

After hatching, the Marek's vaccine is given within 24 hours and then ready to be sold.

Wang Shaodong knew that the chicks that came out of the shell first were the most robust, so he and Li Hong had to come to the hatchery early to prepare to grab the chicks.

In May 2003, with the optimism of the egg market, the price of laying hens and chicks is also bullish all the way, and more and more people want to raise laying hens.

Fortunately, Wang Shaodong only needs 500 chickens, and Li Hong is also familiar with the hatchery, so Wang Shaodong bought 500 chicken seedlings at a price of 2 yuan and 5 yuan per chicken. There were boxes on this side, and on the other side, Li Hong contacted the boxes of goods that were specifically responsible for transporting chicken seedlings.

In this way, when he came, Wang Shaodong came to Li Hong's house with a big schoolbag, and then when he left, he went home with 500 chicken seedlings.
