The roosters in the riverside poultry farm, the Zhu family also divided into several batches and bought the roosters. There are about 380 roosters, Yang Yun left 20 as breeders, and the remaining 360 roosters, all of which were sold to the Zhu family. A chicken sells for 25 wen, a duck sells for 30 wen, and sells the chicken and duck for a total of 21 taels of silver. At the beginning, the chicken purchased by Yang Yun was 3 yuan a piece, and the duck was 5 yuan a piece. This time, the seller of poultry earned 21 taels of silver, and this silver was to be taken out of 20% of the profits to the Li family, and the poultry farm was taken care of by Uncle Li and Aunt Li.

After selling the adult chickens and ducks, Yang Yun took out some of the eggs reserved during this time and hatched them artificially. Originally, two large houses were built by the pond, and earth pits were placed in them. These pits can be heated to keep the temperature constant and used to incubate the eggs. Yang Yun first asked Master Zhou to fight two, and half the size of the pit wooden boxes, these two boxes are called incubators. Two wooden boxes will be placed on a pit with a thin layer of paper, and eggs and duck eggs will be placed in a constant temperature box to artificially incubate the eggs.

The first time she used artificial hatching eggs, Yang Yun was afraid of a low success rate, and two constant temperature boxes, eggs and duck eggs each put 100 eggs. In order not to affect the feeding of chicks and ducks, Yang Yun selected dozens of hens to hatch chicks and ducklings at the same time in the chicken coop.

Female ducks do not hatch their own eggs and must ask the hens to do the work for them. As for why the female duck does not hatch eggs, we have to start with the wild duck, the ancestor of the domestic duck. Wild ducks, like most wild birds, build nests and hatch eggs, otherwise they would not be able to reproduce offspring, while domestic ducks do not hatch eggs because of long-term captivity.

People feed ducks in order to eat duck eggs and duck meat, not to let the mother duck lay 10 eggs and then spend 28 days to hatch the eggs, it is completely possible to use artificial incubation to solve the problem of duck inheritance. Therefore, people continue to choose the mallard that lays more eggs, and only let it lay eggs, but not let it hatch eggs. After generations of breeding, domestic ducks will no longer hatch eggs, and in the past, the work of hatching ducklings was done by the hens.

Yang Yun just wanted to say that the hens fed by the Yang family are really responsible, wearing many hats, hatching their own eggs and hatching duck eggs. After Yang Yun selected the eggs, he put the eggs in two incubators, and then put the incubators on the fire pit, Yang Yun took a notebook and made a record of the hatching eggs. Eggs hatch for 21 days and chicks will emerge, while ducks will take longer to hatch, about 28 days. Today is the tenth day of August, and it will not be until September until about September that these poultry hatch.

The fire pit has already started to heat up, but fortunately, the weather is still very hot in August, so you can save some firewood. The people in the family are very interested in Yang Yun's artificial incubation of eggs, especially Yang Yong and Dabao brothers, who go to the fire pit every day to observe the hatching of eggs.

Because the fire in the fire pit could not be stopped, Grandpa and Yang Yong moved to live in the pond, plus Xiao Si's grandfather, the three of them took turns to help add firewood to the fire pit at night, and sometimes Uncle Li and Dabao went to live in the pond. Yang Yun felt very guilty about them, the work of hatching eggs was very hard, and Yang Yun planned to hire someone to take care of the pond again, so that grandpa and they could reduce some of the burden.

Yang Yun just let out the news that the poultry farm was going to hire someone to work again, and someone came to the door immediately. Xiaoqiu's cousin, the girl named Yingzi, came to Yang Yun and said that they were willing to help with the poultry farm. Yang Yun inquired with Xiaoqiu and learned that Yingzi's home was really difficult. The village where Yingzi lives is called Chen Village, which is far away from Zhoujia Village, like Liujiazhai. But every time Yingzi goes to the workshop, she is the first to come and the last to leave, Yang Yun also praised Yingzi as a motivated child at the time, but she didn't expect her family to be so difficult, no wonder Yingzi strives to make the most headgear every month.

Xiaoqiu said that Yingzi's family had no land, and if Yingzi hadn't worked in the workshop, Yingzi's family would have been ready to go to the town to sell themselves as slaves. Yingzi has two younger brothers, one of whom had a fever when he was a child, burned out his brain, and was a bit stupid. In order to treat Yingzi's younger brother, he has sold all the family's land over the years. When the workshop opened for the first time, Yang Yun saw Yingzi that day, wearing patched clothes, and Yingzi's eyes that were eager to work in the workshop, Yang Yun remembered it very clearly.

Yang Yun heard Xiaoqiu say that, and immediately decided to invite Yingzi's parents to work in the pond, and because Yingzi's parents would never abandon their stupid son, Yang Yun decided that Yingzi's parents were good people. In this world, some parents have sold their children because of family difficulties, but Yingzi's parents would rather sell all their belongings than give up that stupid son.

Yang Yun signed a five-year employment contract with Yingzi's parents, Yingzi's father has a monthly salary of 600 Wen, Yingzi's mother also has a monthly salary of 400 Wen, Yingzi's two younger brothers are twins, they are both 10 years old this year, and the healthy younger brother also has a salary of 100 Wen a month. There is also wasteland by the pond, and Yingzi's parents can cultivate their own wasteland, and the things they grow are their own, and the big house in the pond is also free for them to live in.

Xiao Si's grandparents also signed an employment contract. Yingzi's parents signed the contract and moved to live in a big house by the pond, so that Yingzi could go directly to the pond to live with her parents after working in the workshop, without having to go back to Chen Village. At the beginning, the two big houses were built of bricks, which are much better than the thatched houses that the Yang family lives in now. Because of Yingzi's family, grandpa and Yang Yong don't have to go to the pond. Now the work of helping the fire pit burn is in charge of Yingzi's father.

Yang Yun thought in her heart, why the family's industry is mainly based on building brick houses, but her family still lives in a thatched house, and even the big house with rabbits in the family is also made of bricks and stones. Although Yang Yun thought so, she didn't care too much, because it didn't matter where she lived, as long as the family lived together.

The eggs on the fire pit have not yet hatched, the autumn harvest has begun in Zhoujia Village, and the Yang family has also begun to harvest the five acres of sweet potatoes in Houshan. This year, with Yingzi's parents and Liu Laohan, there are quite enough manpower. Xiao Si's grandmother was responsible for helping the fire pit to make a fire, and sometimes her grandmother would go to the pond to help the fire pit make a fire. Last year, Yang Yun used the villagers to help pick sweet potatoes, but this year she was not so lucky, and the villagers in Zhoujia Village were all harvesting sweet potatoes, and no one had time to help.

The Yang family has five acres of sweet potatoes, plus the Li family also has five acres, and it took six days for ten acres of sweet potatoes to be harvested into the cellar. The Yang family's five acres of sweet potatoes were about 6,500 catties, because the two families had a lot of manpower and were the first people in the village to finish digging sweet potatoes, so the two families rented cattle first and quickly plowed the wasteland.

Because Yingzi's parents had just arrived in Zhoujia Village, and they had no land, no land, and no food, Yang Yun gave 300 catties of sweet potatoes to Yingzi's parents. He also took another 300 catties to Dr. Xu. Xiao Sijia and Kong Zhong Kan's family also received 200 catties of sweet potatoes each, and Kong Zhongkan's family did not lack this food, but everyone tried the newly harvested sweet potatoes.

The remaining 5,500 catties of sweet potatoes were all put into the cellar, and Yang Yun asked his family not to sell the sweet potatoes harvested by the Yang family this year, and also told Uncle Li's family not to sell sweet potatoes for the time being, because Yang Yun was not dead on the matter of sweet potato flour. Vermicelli is such a delicious thing, if it is not produced in large quantities, how can it be worthy of yourself as a traverser.

After the sweet potatoes are harvested, the corn and wheat are harvested. Peanuts and mung beans interplanted in the cornfields were harvested back in July, and now only corn and wheat are left unharvested. Two acres of corn were harvested and returned home, and the Yang family, together with Yingzi and Xiaosi, helped the corn peel in the yard, and after the corn husk was opened, the corn husk was knotted and hung directly in the yard to dry. Yang Yun also used fresh corn and boiled a large pot of corn for everyone to taste.

Yingzi's stupid younger brother, Yang Yun observed it, and he was not so stupid that he was completely unconscious. He seemed to understand what his parents said to him, like the work of peeling corn husks, and he also learned how to peel them. It's also decent, but his hands and feet are slower, and Yingzi's younger brother laughs when he sees someone, maybe to others, it's called a smirk, but Yang Yun feels that his smile is very pure, so pure that there is no trace of impurities.

After harvesting the corn, Yang Yun asked her grandfather to borrow a stone mill from the village to crush all the corn stalks and cobs. After the straw and cob are crushed, they can be directly fed to poultry, and they can also reduce the initial source of corn infection of diseases and insects, because the eggs of those diseases and insects were originally fostered in the straw and cob.

The Yang family planted 8 acres of wheat this year, Yang Yun often went to the wheat field to go around, 8 acres of wheat ears are full of grains, and this year's wheat yield must be good. Now not only the Yang family, but also the villagers' wheat fields, Yang Yun has turned around, and saw that the wheat planted by the villagers this year is growing well, because the Yang family taught the villagers the method of making fertilizer, and the fertilizer supply in the wheat field can be supplied, and the yield will naturally go up.

After harvesting the corn, the wheat is harvested, and when the wheat is harvested, the wheat is cut directly from the ground with a sickle. Then it is pulled to the threshing floor, where the wheat grains are pulled from the ears of wheat by oxen and then dried for a few days, and when the wheat is dry, it can be stored in the cellar. The Yang family and the Li family had a total of 16 acres of wheat, and it took 20 days to harvest and dry it and store it in the cellar.

Because of the autumn harvest, Yang Yun is in charge of the meals, and there is enough oil and water for three meals a day, so Yang Yun will not wronged her family. Now in addition to the Yang family and the Li family, plus the Yingzi and Xiao Si families, the meals that the four families need to prepare are not ordinary, but fortunately, during this time, after Xiao Si and Yingzi got off work, they went to the Yang family to help Yang Yun help, otherwise it would be strange if Yang Yun alone cooked the meals of the four families without being tired to death.

For Yang Yingzi and Xiao Si, Yang Yun is very grateful to them, and the two girls in the autumn harvest get off early from the workshop every day and go to Yang's house to help work. In August, the income of the two girls in the workshop may be lower than before, and Yang Yun plans to compensate the two girls elsewhere. (To be continued.) )
