Mo Shu quickly put this matter behind her and devoted herself to the great cause of raising chickens.

Now because she saw that Liu Kai didn't care much about the development of chicken raising in Lingbei, Zhongzhou, Mo Shu naturally felt a lot more relieved, in addition to constantly expanding the scale of breeding in Lingbei and other counties and townships in Zhongzhou, she also went to other states and counties to develop.

And in this regard, Emperor Liang Liu Kai really didn't take it to heart.

But also, now Liu Kai's heart is more about how to deal with the opposition and exhortation of the minister, so as to dig his Grand Canal.

Early in the morning of this day, Mo Shu was returning from the martial arts training ground with a sword, and saw Dani already waiting outside the Green Calyx Garden.

Although Mo Shu had said many times that Dani would go directly to the Jade Pavilion to find her, Dani always felt that the smell on her body was not very good, especially when she had just come back from the chicken coop, so she stayed at the door, or waited for someone to pass through, and Mo Shu came out to see her, or as she did today, Mo Shu came back from outside, and she happened to be here waiting for the report.

Mo Shu saw Dani's red face, and couldn't help laughing: "What is the happy event today?" ”

Dani nodded again and again, raised an egg with both hands and put it in front of Mo Shu, and said, "The artificially hatched chickens before have begun to lay eggs!" ”

Early this morning, Dani went to the chicken coop to watch people release the chickens for activities, and picked up the egg in a corner of the chicken coop.

Mo Shu was also very happy to hear the news.

The chickens have been raised for more than four months, and now they are finally laying eggs, which not only can the cake shop be opened quickly, but also means that there are more eggs to hatch, because in the chicken coop there are not only hens, but also a small half of the roosters.

More eggs to hatch means more chicks.

This is what Mo Shu wants to see the most at the moment.

Although Mo Shu has developed her chicken raising business to Zhongzhou and all over the Central Plains, she feels that this is far from enough.

Mo Shu reached out and took the egg Dani was holding and looked at it carefully.

Generally speaking, the first nest of eggs laid by hens is relatively small, and this one on Mo Shu's hand is no exception, it is very small, and there are some blood stains on it, which shows that although this egg is small, it is also very difficult to lay.

Mo Shu took a look, then gave the eggs back to Dani, and said with a smile: "You raised these chickens well." ”

This is not a polite compliment.

Mo Shu only went to the chicken coop a few days ago, and hundreds of chickens were all roosters' combs red, with uniform coats and shiny oil, and they were very robust at first glance.

Because Mo Chaoyuan had a friend who raised chickens at home, she probably knew something about raising chickens.

If it is large-scale breeding, and there is no vaccine to be vaccinated nowadays, it is easy to get sick on a large scale.

These chickens are similar to people, and they also have many diseases, such as fire cough, coccidia, chickenpox and even plague. If one is not handled well, it is easy to die of all diseases.

In particular, this batch of chicks is hatched in the cooler autumn, and if they are young, they are more likely to get sick.

But with the exception of a few of the chickens that died of illness or other causes, the rest grew up healthy. It's not in vain that Dani gets up several times a night to add water and feed and take care of the stove when she is a chicken, which is really hard.

In addition, these chickens also laid eggs more than a month earlier than the ones that were free-range outside.

Dani was praised, and her face, which was already a little ruddy because of excitement, now had a touch of redness, and waved her hand again and again: "I don't have any credit, it's the county lord's method is good, and it provides good feed, most of the chickens raised outside are dug in their own soil, where is there anything to feed!" And I found out that not only do these chickens love to eat, but the chickens also grow fast! ”

When it comes to raising chickens, Dani has a lot more words, and her eyes are full of energy.

Mo Shu said with a smile: "That is, when the chickens were fed some soybean meal, and then they were all some wheat husk bran and green fodder, and then there was the earth dragon, which did not require a lot of capital." Moreover, this large-scale breeding is lower than the cost of raising alone, in fact, it is more cost-effective, and the price of chickens and eggs will not be as expensive as before. ”

Dani nodded again and again when she heard this, and said reverently: "It's still the county lord who has a way, I never thought that Dilong could still raise and feed chickens like this!" I must be optimistic about the people on the chicken farm and not let them talk about it. ”

Mo Shu smiled slightly and nodded.

Since the first chicken laid eggs, it didn't take a few days for the coop to have more than a dozen eggs a day.

After about ten days, the eggs became dozens. Dani carefully collects the eggs she picks up every day, sends them to Moshu, and then reports the quantity.

Seeing this situation, Mo Shu had no choice but to ask Dani to directly transfer the eggs to the steward, and then report the number.

Mo Chuan somehow learned about it, and said with great interest that he was going to go to the chicken farm to pick up eggs.

In the end, he is only a half-old child, and it is inevitable to have such an interest, Mo Shu naturally agreed, and planned to relive the experience of going to a friend's chicken farm to pick up eggs, so he went over with Mo Chuan.

Dani saw Mo Shu come to see it in person and happily introduced the situation to her.

Mo Shu, Mo Chuan, Mo Wan, Xiao Jing, and Mo Hao all changed their shoes and changed into caftan brown, which was easy to work and did not worry about getting dirty, and each took the small basket handed by Dani and the servants in the chicken farm, and went into the chicken coop to collect eggs.

The floor of this chicken coop is deliberately beaten repeatedly and then paved with stone bricks, in Dani's words, it is simply better than human habitation. Such a ground is convenient for shoveling up the chicken manure in the chicken coop, which is a good organic fertilizer in later generations.

With this chicken farm, Wu Ziheng's farmers and the acres of food will not have to worry about fertilizer next year.

This is also where Dani admires Mo Shu.

If you set up a chicken farm, you can not only eat eggs and chicken, but also make delicious cakes with these eggs.

Even this chicken manure is so useful.

Mo Chuan didn't think the smell of the chicken coop was big, and followed Dani's instructions and went straight to the chicken nest in the corner, and sure enough, when I got closer, I saw pink or red eggs, which were not big, but there were more than a dozen scattered around, which made people happy to look at it.

Several people scrambled over to pick up the eggs, and they also compared with each other who picked up the bigger eggs.

Mo Hao is much more reserved in comparison, walking carefully in the chicken coop, and reminding Mo Wan and Mo Chuan from time to time where they found eggs again.

Because some chickens like to lay eggs outside at will, after coming out of the chicken coop, Mochuan and a few people even looked around in the garden of the chicken farm, and from time to time found one or two under the trees or in the grass, and then they screamed.

Mo Wan and Xiao Jing also found a nest of more than a dozen eggs in a relatively hidden place, as if they were happy. (To be continued.) )
