Chapter 224: Leading the way
Outbuilding.
A group of big men leaned down, stared at the eggs in the bamboo sieve, cautiously, softer than touching the skin of a beauty, and the goosebumps fell to the ground next to Fang Yiai.
Of course, it is also difficult to hide the incredible in the eyes of everyone.
How do you look at it, it doesn't look like it can hatch chicks?
Fang Yiai explained: "The reason why hens can hatch chicks is the key to 'temperature', the hen's feathers can keep warm, forming a constant temperature environment, and the bottom kang and the quilt on the top are all to preserve the temperature. ”
Cheng Biting Jin simply refined, and changed it to a popular saying, "So, as long as it's warm enough, you can hatch chickens?" ”
Fang Yiai nodded, agreeing with this statement, but Wei Chigong suddenly interjected and said, "But ...... Didn't boil the eggs and boil the chickens? ”
"Can you live in the bed, but can you still live in the steamer? Because it's too hot, of course! Fang boy, right? Without waiting for Fang Yiai to speak, the old enemy Cheng bit Jin and replied.
"Yes, this temperature is very important, about the same as the human body temperature, so that the eggs can hatch." Fang Yiai said.
The people present can be regarded as having seen the world, but when they heard his new knowledge, they were all stunned, which can be described as an eye-opener.
A few days later.
Cheng Yanjin set off with the army to sweep up the forces on the mountain......
In the army, there is a strange phenomenon.
Whether it is Lao Cheng's personal soldiers, or the generals in the army, or the officials who visit along the way, when they see the eggs in Lao Cheng's hands, they are all full of question marks.
Why does the general always hold an egg in his hand?
Studied but cannot comprehend! can only be regarded as the nobles of Chang'an, a new kind of handle, and their status is not enough, so they will feel strange.
But......
When the general looked at the egg, his black face full of beard and a somewhat gentle expression was revealed, what was going on!
Don't want to!
If you think about it again, I'm afraid people will go crazy!
Slowly, the news spread back to Chang'an, and at the first time he learned about it, Wei Chigong slapped his thigh, "Damn!" Or Cheng Zhijie has a way! Come on, find an egg for the old man, pick the biggest ......"
Then, some people who didn't know why also learned.
There were more and more imitators, and soon caused a trend, and the Chang'an gentlemen played with eggs one by one. In particular, people who belong to the system in the military.
When Li Shimin heard the news, he looked at each other, puzzled, what happened to my generals?
……
Fangjiazhuang.
The miscellaneous courtyard, after a catastrophe, has returned to its former calm, and the guards who have been killed and injured have already been arranged, and whether they are injured or not, they will have a rich reward.
The village was not affected much, and the children chased in the streets and alleys, laughing and laughing......
They will not be free for long, because school is about to start, and the villagers are also busy, preparing for spring ploughing.
Housing.
"Young master, the slave maid heard that many rich people in Chang'an now have an egg in their hands, saying that they learned it from Cheng Guogong, and some people start the business of picking eggs, and there are still people who believe in him, it's really funny."
Qiao'er and the young master chatted about interesting things in the city, and she knew the reason, listening to the behavior of these people, one by one like a stupid hat.
"Of course, who is as smart as Young Master Ben!" Fang Yiai said very stinkyly.
But Qiao'er didn't realize that there was him, even more stinky than him, nodded heavily, and said proudly: "That's it, the young master is the smartest!" ”
Fang Yiai was amused by her serious appearance.
"The slave maid also heard that some people sleep at night and put eggs next to their pillows, and guess what...... The next day, I saw that he accidentally crushed it, you said it's funny, it's not funny, hahaha......"
Qiao'er burst into laughter.
However, when she saw the pole in the sieve, her mood quickly fell, and she asked with a wrinkled face, "Young master, when will the chicks hatch?" ”
If it weren't for the fact that she believed in the young master unconditionally, and the young master swore that she would definitely hatch chicks, she would have lost her patience and gave up.
"It's coming! It should be the next few days, you need to take care of it......"
Fang Yiai is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he does not know everything, but he inquired with the women in the village, and the eggs hatched in about twenty days.
Counting the days, it's the last few days.
"The slave will take care of it."
Hearing this, Qiao'er's little face immediately regained its brilliance, and she looked full of energy, nodded seriously, staring at the eggs in the sieve, her eyes were shining.
Sometimes, things just happen unexpectedly......
Since the love of the house has been promised, the two have developed a habit, and after getting up every day, the first thing they see is to see if there are chicks breaking out of their shells.
However, time and time again, I got disappointing news.
Finally, on the morning of this day, Fang Yiai was still dreaming, Qiao'er and Xiaohuan called outside, "The chicks have hatched!" Hee-hee-hee! ”
"We've really hatched chicks!"
Fang Yiai, Susan and his wife ran out in clothes.
In the bamboo sieve, a broken eggshell proves that it has just broken out of the shell. The chick chirped, and the sound was so pleasant, and the fluffy yellow fluff made people want to touch it.
The sieve was upturned on all sides, and it couldn't step over, so it could only scurry around inside.
"It's finally hatched!"
Fang Yiai carefully held it, and the three daughters stretched out their fingers to caress it, their eyes were full of tenderness, exuding the brilliance of maternal love.
"Xianggong!"
Susan called softly, and there was already water rippling in her eyes.
……
It didn't take long for everything that should have been known to hear the news, and they hurried over, looking at the newly hatched chicks, all of them were amazed! Carefully holding the little chicks, a bunch of big old and rough people, grinning to the back of their heads.
Then, in the anticipation of a group of people, the other eggs never moved.
After more than thirty days, Fang Yiai ended the futile waiting, "Forget it! Don't wait any longer, these eggs hatch. ”
"With so many eggs, it takes only two chicks to hatch, which is still a loss-making deal."
There are dozens of nearly 100 eggs, only one or two chicks are hatched, and the hatching rate is indeed very low, but there is no way to do it, it is still in the trial stage, and the technology is not mature.
However, the first artificial incubation was able to hatch chicks, and he was already thankful.
Fang Yiai was still happy and said: "Uncle don't worry, this is just the beginning, and the technology will mature in the future, and the hatching rate will only get higher and higher." Moreover, we don't have to wait for the hens to lay on their nests, and the energy continues to hatch. ”
Just do it, and the second round will be arranged immediately.
This round, the scale is much larger, and it is also a lot more formal, and women are still arranged to take care of them, and women are more careful than men, but there are special people to record and summarize the experience for future artificial incubation.
