Chapter 871: Eggs on the Mountain

Wu Changhui said: "Secretary Qian, Secretary Wuyang, this is for me to do a good job in the logistics of the cattle farm." You think, if this cattle farm is built, how much feed will be needed? We can ignore the wheat bran and soybean meal in the concentrate feed, and we should take care of the green feed and roughage. ”

"Since they dare to raise so many cattle, the source of feed must not be worried."

"Maybe it's not worrying, but there are huge business opportunities here."

Qian Zhijie smiled: "I understand, you want our villagers to provide green fodder and roughage. That's right, a cow eats 20 catties of green fodder every day, 100,000 heads is 2 million catties, this thousand tons of green fodder, how big a field can be planted, if it is planted, how much money can be earned, this is the real income of farmers. ”

Wu Changhui said: "Two secretaries, as far as I know, planting ryegrass can be harvested 6 times a year, each time 500 catties per mu can be harvested, the best can be harvested 800 catties, an average of three tons per mu, Boss Chen's cattle need to be planted about 1 million mu. If you raise dairy cows, you also need to grow alfalfa grass. Alfalfa grass can be grown on dry land, and hundreds of thousands of acres of dry land are needed. ”

Qian Zhijie said: "Will there be a contradiction between planting ryegrass and growing rice? ”

"There are some contradictions, but you can plant mid-season and late rice, and then plant grass after harvesting. Ryegrass does not grow in the summer. ”

Qian Zhijie said: "That's much better, otherwise the grain output will be less, and the main grain-producing areas like ours will have to buy grain." Secretary Wuyang, this time the city government mobilized everyone to plant sorghum, and the sorghum straw should also be able to feed the cattle, right? ”

Wuyang said: "Corn straw can definitely be fed to cattle, but I don't know if sorghum straw can be fed." Let those of them think about these things. Comrade Changhui. You mention it to the comrades in various counties and cities. After spring ploughing, villagers can be mobilized to plant alfalfa grass and ryegrass after harvesting late rice. If you are not afraid of too much, you can set up a joint company in each county and city to sign a contract with the cattle farm, including rye grass, alfalfa grass, rice straw, corn and sorghum straw, so that the villagers can have peace of mind. ”

Wu Changhui smiled and said: "I'm afraid there is no straw now, it is all harvested by the harvester, and it is cut off by the waist." The lower one was left in the field, and the upper one was used to raise fish. Secretary, there are still some things that are okay, such as sweet potato vines and peanut seedlings, which are definitely better than sorghum straw. In addition, it is also a good thing to feed the cattle on sake lees after brewing at the winery, so you can contact us with help. ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "Okay, let's all contribute to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry." Let's go and see in the mountains. ”

Tan Jiuda said: "There is no hurry. I haven't drunk the tea yet, and I've already arranged the meal. Leaders taste our chickens. The crucian carp in the reservoir is very good to catch and tastes good, so you can fish here in the afternoon. ”

Wuyang said: "I heard Tan Weibing say just now, you have ducks in the reservoir, and the chickens and duck dung are eaten by the fish, can the fish taste good?" ”

"Secretary Li, I don't count what I said, you will know after eating."

After going out the door, I went up a slope and arrived at the embankment of the reservoir. The embankment is built between two mountains, it is very short, less than 200 meters, but the inside of the embankment is very large. The small mountain range that comes from several directions, with three valleys in the south, north, and west directions in between, appears to be very long and wide, and you can't see the end at a glance. There are some masson pines and shrubs growing on the hillside, and there are many thatched huts built between the trees, and many chickens are moving around. The water level of the reservoir is very low, and the water surface is very small, about 3 or 40 acres.

Wuyang asked: "Boss Tan, this reservoir should still be able to store a lot of water, right?" ”

"Yes, but I can't bear to store water. Those fields can be planted with rice, and the fields can be planted with ryegrass. You can't see the grass now, I arranged for the chickens to eat these days, as long as the fence door is closed, the grass will grow in half a month. ”

Qian Zhijie said: "You raise so many chickens, how can you tell which batch it is when you catch and sell it?" ”

Tan Jiuda said: "It's very simple. When the chicks were bought, they were kept in a house, and they were released to run after half a month, and they remembered to go back to the house at night, so they didn't need the breeders to distinguish them. A house of chickens is a batch. ”

Wu Changhui smiled and said: "People are not so obedient, chickens must also run around, right?" ”

"Mayor Wu, you're right, no matter what batch of chickens it is, there are always some who don't want to go back to the house at night, just sleep on the trees, and just go back to the house when they eat. We catch chickens at night, and we have to catch a lot of them on the trees every time. But those chickens can fly and run at night, and they can't finish catching them at all. But it's a good idea to go to the mountains and pick up a lot of eggs. ”

A few people walked while talking, and when they arrived at a chicken coop, they saw that the chicken coop was built very simply, digging a pit in the ground, pouring it with concrete, and burying the steel pipe in the concrete, which was the column of the house. The walls, doors and windows are made of bamboo plywood.

"Boss Tan, how many chickens are in each house?"

"The area of each house is different, generally 3 per square meter, there are 1,000 square meters, more than 3,000, each batch of 10,000 chickens, just use 3 such a big house."

Wu Changhui asked, "How many batches do you have here?" ”

Tan Jiuda said: "The difference is 20 days in one batch, and it is raised for more than 5 months, which is 9 batches." Sometimes it is not necessarily, before the Chinese New Year, chickens are in short supply, and two batches will be sold together, and when it is hottest in summer, it is unsalable, so it may be raised for a few more days, anyway, 18 batches a year can not run. ”

Wuyang asked, "How high is the survival rate?" ”

"After mastering the technology, the survival rate is more than 90%. There were basically no deaths, mainly wild cats, jackals and weasels who came to steal food. ”

Qian Zhijie asked, "What is a jackal?" ”

Wu Changhui said: "The scientific name is jackal, which is smaller than the wolf. Boss Tan, these beasts have caused you a lot of losses, and you didn't find a way to get rid of them? ”

"No, after all, we have their territory. In fact, they also have benefits, in the past, when the reservoir was not repaired, even many fields outside the embankment could not be cultivated, and pheasants, hares, and rats spoiled the crops, not to mention the fields under the mountain. Over the years, there have been many wild cats and jackals. There's less of that. They still eat mainly rats and hares. He was so hungry that he came to steal the chickens. After all, I'm afraid of people. ”

Wuyang asked, "There are no wild boars here?" ”

"I fenced it with barbed wire, and the big wild boars couldn't get in, and the little wild boars often fell into the trap when they came in, and we slaughtered and ate them. Later, we can eat wild boar. ”

Qian Zhijie said: "Wild boars are protected animals and cannot be killed. ”

Tan Jiuda said: "It's okay not to kill, but if we destroy the chicken farm and hurt people, the Forestry Bureau doesn't care, so we can't care about killing wild boars." ”

Wu Changhui said: "Over the years, the mountains have been closed for afforestation. There have been several incidents of wild boars injuring people this year, and the Forestry Bureau has compensated tens of thousands of yuan. ”

Tan Jiuda said: "When this law was formulated, there were indeed very few wild boars, but the reproductive ability of wild boars was too strong, and it doubled, and the law should be revised." ”

Wuyang said: "This revised proposal has been written by someone and reported by the news media. But when the delegates were discussing, they felt that if the ban was lifted. Wild boars could be wiped out. ”

Tan Jiuda said: "Leaders, there must be a way to do this." We don't have much land here, and if we are spoiled by wild boars, do we want us to emigrate? ”

Wu Changhui said: "The two secretaries, the comrades of the Forestry Bureau told me that anyway, now that those lethal things have been confiscated, the villagers now are digging traps, trapping, and poisoning. I said that poisoning is absolutely not a problem, and whoever poisons must be brought to justice. ”

Qian Zhijie said: "How can you tell the difference between the poisoners? ”

Tan Jiuda said: "The poisoned wild boar, because the blood was not released, the meat was black and purple, and it was easy to see that the meat killed was bright red. ”

Wuyang said: "Poisoning can easily kill other wild animals and humans by mistake, and placing explosives is also easy to hurt people, so you can't do it." The villagers dug traps and caught wild boars, which could be raised and used as an industry. I see that the pork in the market is now 8 or 9 yuan a catty, and the wild boar is 15 yuan a catty. ”

Wu Changhui said: "Yes, I often see on TV that there are people raising wild boars in other places, and they have become rich, so we can also develop." ”

After looking at a few chicken coops, he was about to go down the mountain, but Tan Jiuda picked a basket and took the lead and continued to walk up the mountain. Wu Changhui asked, "Boss Tan, what are you doing here?" ”

Tan Jiuda smiled and said, "Go to the mountains to pick up eggs." Some chickens spend the night in trees, escape being caught and sold, and lay eggs after a long time. I'm asking the primary school students in the village to pick up once a week, and they won't be able to come until tomorrow weekend, and I'd like to pick up some for you to take home. Leader, this kind of egg can't be bought with money. ”

Wuyang wanted to say that the nutritional content of local eggs was similar to that of foreign eggs in chicken farms, but he didn't want to sweep Tan Jiuda's excitement, so he didn't say it. Maybe others go to the countryside and like to bring some local products back, which is also very normal, and Tan Jiuda has such a move. But there are many people in his family, and there is not enough food to bring back, not to mention that he knows that Chen Dabao raises chickens, so he can arrange for him to send them.

By the time we reached the ridge, there were no trees, only some shrubs and thatch, which had sprouted new shoots, and thatch, which had grown a little new grass with spikes. Under the bushes and in the thatch, I saw some chicken nests, and there were a nest of eggs in them, some with white shells and some with green shells.

Several people picked it up, and Qian Zhijie asked: "Boss Tan, is there a difference between a green-shelled egg and a white-shell?" ”

"There should be no difference, but we people here have a tradition of buying green-shell eggs as a unilateral treatment for rheumatism, and they don't know if it works."

Wuyang said: "I have seen from the medical case that duck eggs with green shells can be used in medicine to remove wind, not eggs, nor to treat rheumatism. ”

Qian Zhijie said: "Do you still look at the medical case? ”

"People who practice martial arts must know a little bit of medical skills, especially bruises, otherwise they will be injured, and in ancient times, there were not as many hospitals as they do now, and there were cars sent to hospitals. But now the practice of martial arts is outdated, that is, it plays a role in strengthening the body. ”

Qian Zhijie smiled and said, "Yes." We usually see martial arts in sports competitions and TV dramas. Secretary, come and see, what kind of egg is this? ”

When the afternoon sun passed, he saw a nest in the bushes, which was covered by dead leaves, and only one egg was exposed, "Zhijie, go away." This is a snake egg. With that, he pulled him away.

I heard that there are snake eggs. Tan Jiuda and Wu Changhui both came to watch. After waiting for a while, no snake came out. Tan Jiuda used a flat pole to open the dead leaves, and saw that there were 3 or 40 snake eggs in the nest, and the female snake was not nearby, so he reached out and picked up one, "Oh, the snake in here has hatched and is about to come out of the shell." Secretary Li. Boss Chen needs this thing, can you help bring it back? ”

Wuyang said: "We can't figure out what kind of snake it is, can we raise it if we bring it back?" ”

Tan Jiuda said: "When I went to pull the chickens a few days earlier, Boss Chen happened to be at home, and he told me that the snake farm had been relocated, and the scale of the new farm was relatively large, and a large number of baby snakes were needed. Yes, whatever the snake is, you bring it back. Anyway, poisonous snakes take poison, and non-poisonous take skin. are useful. ”

"Okay, just leave it to me."

"I'm going to look for it, and I'm going to take it all away. When we saw snake eggs before, they were all smashed, which was a pity. ”

Qian Zhijie said: "Boss Tan, you can't do this, snakes can also catch mice." ”

"Secretary Qian, look at it, if these dozens of eggs hatch, my chickens don't need to be raised. In the past, chickens were often bitten by snakes, and they could only be buried when they died, dozens of dollars a piece. ”

Wuyang said: "You two pay attention, see clearly if there is a snake to attack again, Boss Tan and I will go to find snake eggs." ”

Put two baskets of eggs into one, pick up the snake eggs, and the two set off. Tan Jiuda is more expert in finding snake nests, not looking everywhere, but looking for places that are relatively low, can accumulate weeds and leaves, and can be exposed to the sun. Soon I found a few, and when I found one, I scolded, "Damn snake, this is all eating my chickens and eating my eggs, that's why there are so many, Lao Tzu wants to destroy you all." ”

Wuyang ignored him, and after seeing that he found a few, he also mastered the law, knowing that the snake hatches its eggs, relying on sunlight to raise the temperature, relying on the dead grass and leaves to keep warm, of course, if the dead grass and leaves can rot, it can also heat up.

After looking for a while, the baskets were piled up, Tan Jiuda was ready to be carried by two people, Wuyang tied the rope on the basket, lifted it and left. Snake eggs are lighter than eggs and duck eggs, and a full basket is 5 or 60 catties, which is not very laborious.

"Secretary Li, let's carry it, the road is not easy to walk."

"It's okay, it's even harder to carry it. I was tired and lifted again. ”

"Secretary Li, these snake eggs would be good if they were dinosaur eggs, and they are worth 500,000 now."

Wuyang said with a smile: "Boss Tan, the state is very tight on smuggling dinosaur eggs, and if you catch it, you will definitely be sentenced." Besides, will there be dinosaur eggs here? ”

Tan Jiuda said: "When we were building the reservoir, the bulldozer pushed out a few fossilized animal bones, which were bigger than this basket. ”

Wuyang asked, "Where are the fossils?" ”

"I dug it up and put it in my house, I wanted to find someone to sell it, and I came to see it, but they all said it was worthless. Since I left the fossils at home, my wife has been sick, and the old people said that the fossils were to blame, and then I called the Provincial Institute of Paleontology, and they came to take the fossils, and they searched here for half a month, but they didn't find anything. ”

"Did I give you a bonus?"

"Twenty thousand yuan was sent. But it's not my own. Originally, the construction of the reservoir was to raise funds from everyone, but after taking the bonus, I confiscated everyone's fund-raising funds, and I also spent 30,000 yuan to repair the reservoir. ”

"Are the people from the Institute of Paleontology looking for them on these hills?"

"Yes, I have searched for it all in the mountains, mainly in the place of taking soil and repairing embankments, and now there are still a few pits, which have been used by me to make fish ponds."

"Okay, you can rest here, and I'll go to the mountains and have a look."

Tan Jiu smiled and said, "Secretary Li, you also want to find dinosaur eggs?" If there is no drama, all the experts have searched for it. ”

Wuyang said: "I'm just going to see if it's okay." ”

"Okay, you're going to eat a little faster."

"You go down the mountain first, don't wait for me to eat."

"Wait for sure, just hurry."

Wuyang put down the basket and walked along the ridge, the whole mountainous area is a few square kilometers, and it is still very fast to walk. When the True Qi enters the eye, you can see the ridge and the slopes and valleys on both sides. After walking for a while, I saw a relatively steep hill underground, and there were really dinosaur eggs.

Dinosaur eggs are about 5 meters above the surface, and the surface is two meters thick loess, and below the loess is gravel mixed with large and small stones, and there is no rock layer. The steep slope of the hill, coupled with the dense bushes and thorns, could not enter at all, so I had to break off a shrub and stick it on the ridge, facing the direction of the dinosaur egg.

After walking a few dozen meters, I saw another litter. This time there are more than the previous litter, there are 8 pieces, and the previous litter only has 6 pieces. After continuing to look for a while, I saw 6 more nests, this should be a dinosaur hatchery, but why are there no dinosaur fossils?

After walking all over the ridges, that is, the 8 nests of dinosaur eggs, I had to return. When they arrived at the place where they picked up the eggs just now, Tan Jiuda and the others left, so hurry back to eat, it's not good to make people wait for a long time.

On the way, I called Tan Changqiao, "Professor Tan, please ask you a question." ”

Tan Changqiao smiled and said: "Secretary Li, don't be polite, just say something." ”

To be honest, Tan Changqiao is now grateful to Wuyang from the bottom of his heart. After retirement, although there are government allowances, and I often participate in cultural relics appraisal and some TV programs, I earn a lot of money, but after all, it is not as much as it is now. For these old experts, money is still a trivial matter, if there are no research results for a long time, there is no weighty paper published, it will gradually be forgotten by the industry. When I arrived at the Lujiang Museum, the research results continued, and papers could be sent every month. Of course, not all of them have to be written by himself, many of the experts and professors he invited are not as famous as him, and their status in the archaeological community is almost a little worse, and they all want to use him as a Taishan Beidou to improve their popularity. However, Professor Tan is still very personable, and he should not shirk what should be promoted, and he should not steal the limelight, and resolutely refuse. In this way, the reputation is even louder, although he lives in a corner of the Lujiang River, there are more old colleagues and students who come to him, and he has not brought graduate students for a few years, but this year he brought 3 doctoral students. The Lujiang Museum has sufficient funds, good treatment, and more importantly, the cultural relics available for research here are only less than the Palace Museum and the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which still have not transported the cultural relics obtained at the bottom of Lanjiang Lake last year. It's not that the afternoon sun is reluctant, but the museum is too small to pile it up.

Tan Changqiao is grateful to Wuyang, and there is another aspect, that is, his grandson Tan Bo participated in traditional martial arts competitions in some places, won boxing and swordsmanship championships, participated in national competitions, and also entered the top three. Because of his handsome appearance and tall stature, when he stood there, he had the demeanor of a jade tree facing the wind. began to participate in the filming of film and television dramas, or in Qi Zhiqiang and Re Lisha's film and television companies, and then continued to make film appointments, and now he is a new star in the film and television industry, and he has begun to expand his acting career and take the path of acting. This makes Professor Tan have no worries at all.

"That's right, what are the country's regulations on the discovery and excavation of dinosaur fossils, I would like to know it."

Tan Changqiao said: "The state's regulations are very strict, the main thing is that it is strictly forbidden to excavate without permission, and it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell without permission, and smuggling is punishable by heavy punishment. Specific provisions, because I am not doing research in this area, but also look at the provisions of the law. ”

"Professor Tan, if our museum wants to collect exhibitions, will it allow it?" (To be continued......)
