"Village Chief Wang, Director Lu, you have people inform the village heads, militia captains and women's directors of each village to come over for a meeting tonight!"

As soon as he returned to the village, Zhang Ran immediately found Wang Changtian and Lu Yan and asked them to summon the backbone of each village to come over for a meeting, and then went to the back of the village.

The stonemason Lao Zheng was holding a dry tobacco bag in one mouth and chiseling at the bottom of a huge stone with the other, and when he saw Zhang Ran coming over, he stopped to say hello, and at the same time enthusiastically took out the dry tobacco and asked Zhang Ran if he wanted a pot.

"No smoking!"

Zhang Ran hurriedly said no, after all, he didn't smoke before, and when he came to this era, he couldn't smoke anymore, not to mention other cancers or anything, the key is that this thing is too harmful to lung function - once he goes to the battlefield, he is a rookie like him who has no military skills, and he feels that the only possibility he can survive is to run faster than others when he runs.

If you smoke two puffs of cigarettes and break your lungs and can't run fast, then you will really die!

Lao Zheng saw Zhang Ran staring at the groove he had carved at the bottom of the boulder with interest, and grinned with a mouthful of smoky teeth: "Captain Zhang, haven't you ever seen oil extraction?" ”

The oil extraction he is talking about is the local method of oil extraction.

But at this time, the oil is squeezed like this, and there is no such thing as a soil law.

Of course, Zhang Ran will not tell Lao Zheng that he has seen a lot of this machine oil extraction, and he has really never seen this soil method of oil extraction - for example, this groove chiseled in the lower part of the boulder is the basic tool of soil method oil extraction.

Lao Zheng didn't think much about it, and excitedly explained to Zhang Ran how to use the principle of groove oil extraction.

The rapeseed, soybeans, peanuts and the like that need to be squeezed for oil are fried, and then straw is used to make a grass cake of about the same size, and then put it into this groove, and one end is constantly plugged to make the rapeseed, peanuts, soybeans and the like in the grass cake constantly under pressure, and then the oil in it is squeezed out, and the rest is all kinds of residues such as soybean cakes.

"It's not my Lao Zheng bragging, the oil squeezing trough I chiseled is at least one percent more oil than the oil squeezing trough chiseled by other stonemasons!"

In the end, Lao Zheng said with a wide eye, obviously wanting Zhang Ran to know that you left me alone when so many stonemasons came, that is because you have vision.

"That's, Uncle Zheng, your craftsmanship is famous!"

Zhang Ran hurriedly continued to talk and began to compliment, no way, those who have two skills in these years are uncles, and he is still looking forward to Lao Zheng taking this stonemason skill to help him chisel stone shells as mines in the future, if you offend people now and make people stumble, it will not be easy.

After the old Zheng was in high spirits, Zhang Ran couldn't care about the grievances of the captain and the old bustard who was waiting for the uncle in the building, and asked with a smile: "How long will it take to do a good job in this oil squeeze tank?" The chicks here have hatched, and I'm waiting to use the soybean cake and the like after oil extraction to prepare feed for the chicks! ”

"Then I'll work overtime tonight, and tomorrow morning, I'm guaranteed to be able to squeeze oil!" Lao Zheng patted his chest and said.

"That's hard Uncle Zheng, I'll let the kitchen add a dish for you at night - put lard!" Zhang Ran said.

Lao Zheng's happy eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, thinking that the fried dishes in lard were called fragrant, and suddenly his saliva came, and he was a lot more energetic when he chiseled up the stones.

The stonemason was busy, and the carpenter was not resting.

According to Zhang Ran's plan, the row of houses used to raise chickens in the farm is divided into three floors, covering both sides, leaving only a dense frame of a central aisle, and the activity space of each chicken is never more than the size of two palms.

"Captain Zhang, it's too embarrassing to leave such a big empty space for a chicken......"

Carpenter Lao Lin was busy talking to Zhang Ran while working, and his face was full of distress for those chickens.

"This chicken and pig can't be left to them!"

Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "In addition to breeding chickens and pigs, chickens and pigs that eat meat and eggs must control their activities, and it is best to let them eat, sleep, sleep and eat, only in this way can they grow fast and lay more eggs!" ”

"And that said?" Lao Lin was shocked when he heard this.

"Of course!"

Although it is said that the war is a rookie, but when poverty alleviation was raised, Zhang Ran, who supported several large chicken and pig farmers, was definitely an expert in this regard, and explained patiently to Lao Lin for a while, and then smiled: "In addition to limiting the amount of activity of chickens and pigs, we must also ensure the scientific formula of feed and control the epidemic - if the operation is good, a pig will grow to two hundred catties in half a year, and a chicken will grow to five or six catties in three months and start laying eggs, which is ......not difficult at all."

"Two hundred pounds in half a year, isn't that a pound of fat growing a day? Chickens grow to five or six pounds in three months...... Captain Zhang, aren't you having a fever and talking nonsense! ”

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Lao Lin's eyes came out, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

After all, in his cognition, a pig is raised to two hundred catties, so it will take more than a year, and it has to be fed well, as for the chicken, it is not half a year, and it is also a fantasy to let it grow to five or six catties or even lay eggs!

If the pig can grow to 200 catties in half a year, and the chicken chicks grow to five or six catties in three months and start to lay eggs, then the people are so poor, as for the whole year, they can't eat pork and eggs!

"Lao Lin, just take a look, you'll know in a few months!"

Zhang Ran laughed, and didn't argue with the carpenter Lao Lin, but just told him that as long as the chicken coop could be guaranteed to be firm, there was no need to be so fine, so he went out and went to the hatchery room to find Wang Wenhua and check the situation of the chickens.

Although it has only been hatching for more than half a day, the chicks are already full of energy at this moment, squirming in the dustpan like a pom-pom, chirping.

There is no problem with looking at the chickens, Zhang Ran and Wang Wenhua explained some breeding points, especially if a chicken is found to be in bad spirits, it must be isolated immediately, just in case it is infected with the plague and a large number of people die.

In the end, Zhang Ran handed Wang Wenhua a piece of paper, on which was the feed formula and key points of the chicken.

The digestive system of chickens has already determined that it is difficult for them to produce small flowers and crude fiber food, which is also the reason why Zhang Ran let him start building a soil method oil extraction tank as soon as the stonemason Lao Zheng was left behind.

Rapeseed, peanuts, soybeans and other residues left after oil extraction, after grinding on the stone mill, is a good base material, plus some wheat bran, grain bran, etc. for scientific proportioning and fermentation, whether it is raising chickens or pigs, it is an excellent feed.

"It's a waste of these things for chickens......"

As soon as he saw that the soybean cakes left over from oil extraction were actually going to be used to feed the chickens, Wang Wenhua's distressed face was distorted - these things can also be eaten by people.

Not to mention that these things can save lives in times of famine, even now, the villagers are full of wild vegetables and grains every day, but they give these things to the chickens - this is simply a typical person who is not as good as a chicken!

"Don't think it's a waste, and you don't see, isn't there a lot of wheat bran and bran that people can't eat?"

Zhang Ran was depressed, and said step by step: "Besides, when the weather is warmer in another month, the earthworms in the earthworm pond will multiply in large numbers, and the soybean cakes in the chicken feed can be reduced, so that the chickens can supplement their nutrition with earthworms - when the chickens are raised and start laying eggs, you will find that paying such a little soybean cake and wheat bran, but collecting hundreds of eggs a day, is definitely a sure profit!" ”

Everything else is easy to say, but when it comes to food, Wang Wenhua becomes extremely difficult to convince.

"It's an order!"

Zhang Ran said angrily, he usually doesn't like to say these words.

Wang Wenhua reluctantly agreed, but he continued to despise Zhang Ran in his heart, and said in his heart, you are a loser, have you forgotten the time when you came to the village to meet people and beg for food? Now that the landlords of Ma Chengbang and others have been beaten, there is grain and money in the warehouse, so it is wide? Don't treat food as food?

As soon as he saw Wang Wenhua's face, Zhang Ran knew that what this guy was muttering was not a good thing at all.

But he believes that Wang Wenhua will definitely strictly implement his orders, after all, these days, his authority in the base area has been gradually established, not to mention, his talent in breeding must have conquered Wang Wenhua, that is for sure.

So not afraid that he will not obey orders.

When it was dark, the backbone of each village slowly arrived, staring at the kitchen of the branch, obviously pinching it on an empty stomach.

Fortunately, Zhang Ran also expected this, so that the kitchen prepared food for everyone, although it is not as generous as white rice and dry rice, but the thick multigrain porridge has a nest with pickles, and the big guys still eat very sweet.

The skinny monkey was depressed, because whoever saw him hid far away.

Zhang Ran issued a gag order to Wang Laogui and others, but who let this person come too much, and someone recognized him?

"Comrade Thin Monkey is already a member of our Eighth Route Army, he has promised to abandon evil and follow good in the future, I hope that the villagers will no longer look at people with old eyes, and should give Thin Monkey a chance to reform himself!"

Zhang Ran said loudly, and the villagers also agreed, but when they saw the thin monkey approaching him, they should still hide and cover their pockets, and they didn't give Zhang Ran face at all.

"Don't be sad, if you make meritorious contributions in the future, everyone will agree with you!"

Zhang Ran had to comfort the thin monkey a few words, and then conveyed the task to the backbone of each village, the first point is to draw elite soldiers and strong generals from the militia teams of each village, and go out of the mountain with him to carry out the task.

The second point is to let the villages organize manpower to go to the Jianzi Mountain next to Shijiagou to open a mine, and the detachment is in charge of one lunch a day, and at the same time, the people involved in the mining are recorded according to the strength of labor, and each work point can be exchanged for a pound of fertilizer from the factory.
