"That's nature!" Lian Fangzhou smiled: "Otherwise, how can you manage such a wide place?" I don't know where to run! ”

Both of them were action-oriented, and they went back that night to discuss for a while, and the next day they were ready to open in the same way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since you plan to raise chickens, the chicken coop is naturally to be built.

Even Fangzhou set aside a lot of flat land at the foot of the mountain in advance, which was not reclaimed into a cotton field, and was ready to build a chicken coop, so he hired someone to get busy.

The herringbone wooden shed is expected to be built side by side, independent of each other, each about 13 meters long and 6 meters wide, also of wooden structure, with a high top covered with cedar bark, suspended about half a meter from the ground, connected by several wooden steps more than one meter wide.

The floor of each room is not sealed, but after the frame is erected, it is nailed one by one with a strong long wooden strip two fingers wide, leaving a finger-wide gap between each two, so that the chicken that is locked in the house overnight can leak down the gap after pulling the feces, only need to clean up the feces with a long handle on the movable bottom floor at the bottom or in the middle of the chicken coop, and open the ten windows around the left and right during the day, and the air will be clean and fresh in the chicken coop, which can prevent the breeding of germs.

Considering that it is not convenient to mix small chicks with adult chickens, there is a small gap in each room.

In addition to these two, a slightly smaller room was built for the hens to incubate their eggs and to feed the newborn chicks.

The newborn chicks only need to be raised for ten days and half a month, and they can be moved to a smaller room specially separated by two chicken coops.

On the ground next to the chicken coop, several flat land with a smooth surface of one and a half meters and a half meters of length and width are specially built with smooth green bricks, which are specially used to feed the chickens to eat and drink, and are scattered around the chicken coop, so that the chickens will not be crowded in one place when eating.

Lian Fangzhou plans to raise 2,000 chickens this year, and it is enough to build two such chicken coops.

According to the original plan, she reserved two such chicken coops on the north and south sides of the mountain. The rest of the surrounding area is also planted with fruit trees.

After the chicken coop is built, she sprinkles some herbs such as mint and wormwood all over the mountain and at the foot of the mountain to prevent mosquito breeding, and it is good for the chickens to peck at it.

The chicken coop is being built, and the fence is starting to be fenced. In order to prevent weasels and wild mice, Lian Fangzhou specially customized a two-and-a-half-meter-high barbed wire fence in the city, and a masonry foundation about ten centimeters high was built underneath, and barbed wire was installed on this masonry foundation.

Then, go to the Lin family orchard to buy some vine roses, plant them along the barbed wire, and let these thorny roses climb up along the barbed wire, which is not only a beautiful scenery, but also shade and block the view from the outside, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

After these tasks were arranged, Qin Feng was ordered to send people to keep an eye on the follow-up, and there was nothing to do with Lian Fangzhou.

The chicken coop is here, and she has to think of a way to get the chicks.

In those days, there were no modern hatcheries, and it was obviously unreliable to rely on scattered purchases from rural households.

Most of the chicks hatched by the family will raise them themselves, and the eggs that do not hatch are saved up and sold. Not to mention whether people are willing to sell or not, even if they are willing to buy, how many can there be? It is not easy to buy enough 21,200 chicks.

Lian Fangzhou inquired in many ways, only to find out that there is a family in Xiaowang Village in the eastern suburbs of the county that knows how to cook kang chickens.

The so-called Kang chicken is a secret and unpassed unique job, and there are very few people who know it, and there are at most one or two families in a county, or even none.

Xiaowang Village, a family surnamed Wang, has been doing this for generations.

They have a specially built kang at home, and when they need to make the chickens, they put the eggs into the kang one by one, and then incubate the eggs through the temperature transmitted by the charcoal fire.

There's no other trick, it's all about experience.

In these days when there is no thermometer and no equipment to rely on, it is not easy to maintain a suitable temperature for the eggs just by feeling impartial.

Without twenty or thirty years of experience, it will not work.

When the temperature is low, the chicks cannot be hatched, and the chicks that are barely hatched if the temperature is not enough are very poor, and it is usually difficult to feed, and it seems that they are not energetic enough. When the temperature is high, the eggs will become oligovites, and the chicks will not hatch.

Now the 50-year-old man of his family is presiding over this matter in Xiaowang Village, and he takes his son in his thirties to study every year.

Whenever the kang chicken is cooked, the old king will nest on the kang all day long, eat and drink and almost never leave the kang head, just to feel the temperature of the kang chicken all the time, and it is impossible to sleep peacefully in the whole twenty-four or five days.

When all the chicks hatched, the old king, who had a scruffy beard, sunken eyes, and a haggard look, could always sleep for three days and three nights in one breath!

The chickens that come out of the kang are used to sell. People who need to buy chicks to raise them usually buy them in the spring, so the old Wangtou kang chickens are only on the kang in the spring.

A chick can be sold for eight to ten yuan, and three or four kang are on the kang in the spring, except for the cost of buying eggs, and there is almost a year's worth of household money.

When Lian Fangzhou, Ah Jian, and Lian Ze found his house, they heard that Lian Fangzhou was going to be 2,000, and the old king was a little difficult.

His family can only cook 700 kang chickens at a time, and just after the kang was sold, he had to rest for about ten days before he could continue.

Lian Fangzhou opened his mouth with two thousand, although he really wanted to make this money, but he couldn't do anything.

Lian Fangzhou hurriedly smiled: "It's not important, it's just right!" You can divide it into three kang and give it to me! Don't worry, after a kang is on the kang, you can rest enough as usual and then make the next kang! ”

Lian Fangzhou knows very well that this kind of delicate work is completely controlled by experience, and people's mental state can only be adjusted to the best to make mistakes, otherwise, as long as there is a little deviation, it will be a complete loss.

The old king was very happy, nodded again and again and smiled: "This is so good, even girl!" That's no problem, I'll be able to get on a kang in a few days! When it's almost over, I'll ask someone to bring you a letter, and you can get it in a car. I can prepare a flat bamboo basket at home, you just have to come!" ”

Lian Fangzhou was overjoyed and thanked, and couldn't help but ask again: "Since you can make a chicken on the kang, I don't know if you can cook a duckling?" ”

The old king was stunned, this kang chick is an ancestral skill, and for so many years, father and son have not remembered that in addition to the kang chick, there are also kang ducklings.

"This, it's really not ......" The old king smiled with his hands outstretched, and secretly said in his heart, "I'm ashamed!" Wouldn't it be another way to make money when I thought of this kang and some ducklings to sell?

But soon, the old king did not regret not thinking of this financial road. Because even if you want to give it a try, it's not so easy.
