Listening to Dong Bai's explanation, Tang Sheng was respectful:

"The girl commands."

"General Tang, I need you to take someone to the surrounding villages to buy chickens." Dong Bai got straight to the point.

"Buying chicken?"

During this time, Tang Sheng had been busy building the barracks, so he didn't know Huaxing's chicken raising plan:

"What chicken to buy? Live or dead chickens? ”

"Live chickens, of course!" Dong Bai glared at Tang Sheng angrily: "Why do I want a dead chicken?" Will a dead chicken lay eggs? ”

Seeing that Tang Sheng was aggrieved, Diao Chan hurriedly said to persuade:

"Sister Dong, General Tang doesn't know about our chickens, and it's normal for him to ask."

Subsequently, Diao Chan probably told Tang Sheng about Huaxing's chickens.

"Oh, so you're going to build a chicken farm? I get it. ”

Chong Diao Chan nodded gratefully, and then heard Tang Sheng ask again:

"Then I don't know what kind of chicken is right to buy? Is there a requirement for the specific quantity? ”

"As long as it's a hen, it's all collected. Silver...... You can just take care of the big devil. Soon listened to the words of "Director Dong".

"Got it all? Well, that's a lot of silver! Tang Sheng looked surprised, and his eyes also fell on Diao Chan and Huaxing on the side.

"Alas! Sister Dong is too coarse, or I'll talk about it. ”

After smiling apologetically, he listened to Diao Chan and Tang Sheng's detailed preaching:

"We hope that the general will send some soldiers to the surrounding villages or cities to buy hens. Preferably an adult hen, the kind that lays eggs. If you are too old to lay eggs, don't buy it. The number of them is less than 1,000. ”

is also saying one thing, Dong Bai and Diao Chan are completely two styles.

After listening to the statements of the two, Hua Xing and Tang Sheng were obviously more inclined to Diao Chan's way, and nodded in response.

Seeing this scene, Dong Bai was definitely not very happy. But she also knew that she really didn't make it clear, so she snorted lightly and endured it.

"Within a thousand? Tsk, you have to buy so much......"

After hearing this number, Tang Sheng, who was born as a businessman, immediately frowned, and calculated the account in his mouth:

"Now that there are wars and prices, not only are there fewer people raising chickens, but the price of live chickens has doubled compared to a few years ago. Now an adult hen costs six or seven hundred to say the least. If it's a thousand...... That's six or seven hundred taels of silver! General, have you really thought about this? ”

"Well, don't worry! We're going to get that money back. If you really lose, hehe, you should improve the food for everyone, and eat chicken every day, wouldn't you be happy? ”

Knowing that the other party was joking, but when he thought of spending so much money to go out, Tang Sheng still couldn't laugh, and said with a depressed face:

"Alas! Okay, I'll send someone out to buy chickens tomorrow. However, even if you add up all the chickens from several surrounding villages, you may not be able to make up a thousand, and I hope you understand. ”

"This slave knows this, as long as the general does his best, we will not blame you."

After explaining the matter of buying chickens, Diao Chan looked at Huaxing on the side and asked him about the feed:

"By the way, General, what are you going to do about the fodder? There weren't many chickens in the past two days, so it was okay to cope. But in a few days, when General Tang comes back with chickens, it will definitely not be enough to eat. ”

Hearing the other party ask about this, Hua Xing smiled slightly, and took out a note from his arms and placed it in front of the three of them:

"Press this match first, and if there is a problem, adjust it later."

"It's ...... What is the formula of the feed? Diao Chan asked as he watched.

"That's right! It's not hard to find, it just takes some work. ”

After glancing at the more than ten kinds of raw materials in the recipe, Dong Bai on the side suddenly pointed to the note and asked, "What are corn husks and wheat husks?" ”

"Hehe, Miss Dong is really rich." After making fun of the other party, he listened to Huaxing explain:

"There is a layer of chaff on the outside of corn and wheat grains, which we don't eat, but we can feed chickens, which is a staple ingredient in feed."

Regarding the matter of chaff, Dong Bai, who was born in the aristocracy, was indeed the first time he had heard of it. After being teased by Huaxing, she also showed embarrassment on her face.

"Well, it's not difficult to collect chaff and the like, as long as we talk to the villagers and go to the door to collect it."

After nodding, he saw Diao Chan pointing to another ingredient on the note and asking:

"General, bone meal and broken egg shells...... What is it? ”

"Oh, bone meal is made from ground bones, and the bones left over from our meat can be left for chickens to eat. As for the crushed eggshell, it is the crushed eggshell, which can be added to the feed after being mashed. ”

After hearing Huaxing's words, without waiting for Diao Chan to speak, Tang Sheng, who was sitting on the side, immediately frowned:

"General, can you give these things to the chickens? That's the treasure we bought back for hundreds of taels of silver, don't you eat it to death? ”

"You don't trust me so much, huh?" Seeing that Tang Sheng was distressed, Hua Xing explained while chuckling:

"Bone meal and egg shells contain a lot of calcium...... Well, it's something that helps chickens lay eggs a lot. Add some in moderation and it is good for egg production. But you can't put too much, I wrote on the recipe, just add a spoonful or two at a time. ”

Because Hua Xing said too profoundly, after Tang Sheng heard it, he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he could only nod in disbelief and cast his eyes back on the note.

However, after three or five seconds, Tang Sheng pointed to the next handwriting and asked with a puzzled face:

"General, what is this 'garlic powder'?"

"Dry and grind garlic into powder, it's garlic powder!"

Just when he saw bone meal and broken eggshells appear in the recipe, Tang Sheng was already strange enough.

Now, seeing that Huaxing didn't even let go of the garlic used for seasoning, Tang Sheng once again showed an incomprehensible look:

"This, this is also for chickens? Do chickens eat it? ”

"Hehe, they don't just eat, they love to eat!" Hearing this, Huaxing preached with a confident face:

"Adding a little garlic powder to the feed will not only increase their appetite, but also improve the immunity of the chickens...... Well, it's to make them less sick, and it's a good excipient. But like bone meal, you can't add more, just one spoonful at a time. ”

Listening to what Hua Xing said was the first to be the truth, like an expert, not like a novice at all, Tang Sheng couldn't help but ask again:

"General, didn't you say that you were raising chickens for the first time? These things...... You've heard about it, huh? ”

Whether it is the style of the chicken coop or the formula of the feed, it was learned from a TV program on the "Agricultural Channel" before Huaxing came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But in front of Tang Sheng and others, Huaxing definitely couldn't tell the truth, so he lied that he learned it from a bamboo slip, so he could barely cope with it.
