Inside the farm, the sound of chickens crowing is everywhere.

It has been more than three months since the chickens were first hatched, and the vast majority of chickens have reached more than three catties, and the smallest ones are more than two and a half catties!

"Captain, I really didn't expect chickens to grow so fast......"

Wang Wenhua said excitedly, he also has chickens at home, but every half a year for seven or eight months, can the chickens grow from three or four catties? Dream about it!

"What's this?"

Zhang Ran said with a rare and strange expression: "There are only a few points of breeding, one is feed, and the other is to limit the amount of activity, as long as these two things are guaranteed, whether it is a chicken or something else, it is difficult for it to grow fast!" ”

This is also the reason why there is no more scientific formula, otherwise Zhang Ran can guarantee that in the past three months, these chickens will definitely be more than four catties!

It may be because of the earthworms that are bred in the feed, or the situation of concentrated breeding in this era is still less, and the resistance of natural chickens to the epidemic is still strong, these chickens are alive and jumping, and there is no disease.

While inspecting the situation of the chickens, Zhang Ran instructed Wang Wenhua: "Pick some strong and good growth chickens among the roosters and hens, and raise them appropriately as breeding chickens, and the rest of the roosters will be sent to the kitchen every other day, one will be handed over to the small stove of the soldiers, and the other will be given to the working people's kitchen, so as to strengthen the nutrition ......of the soldiers and villagers."

"I'll eat it every other day, isn't it ......?"

Wang Wenhua looked entangled, whether he was too defeated and almost blurted out.

"Isn't raising chickens just to eat chicken and eggs? The hen keeps the eggs, and the rooster eats when it's almost done, and there's a problem - if you don't like it, you can stop eating it! ”

Zhang Ran glared at Wang Wenhua stupidly, and said in his heart, you also mean that you grew up in a rich peasant family!

Wang Wenhua hehehe, he said that fools don't even like to eat chicken, and I'm not stupid!!

"When delivering chickens to the kitchen, remember to pick the ones that grow bad, or those that don't look good!"

Zhang Ran then instructed: "Chicken feathers or something, don't lose them in the kitchen, boil them all for me in boiling water and dry them, collect them in a unified manner, and accumulate more in the future, hand them over to Lu Yan and them, set up a quilt factory, and use these chicken feathers to make down jackets and duvets or something......"

"What is a down jacket and a duvet? Isn't cotton used for quilt cotton clothes? With this chicken feather, is it okay? ”

Wang Wenhua's eyes bulged, a captain, you can fool people, anyway, I can't wear that thing to death.

"In the future, you'd better not let me see you wearing a down jacket, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you to death!"

Zhang Ran really this guy, and said in his heart that you didn't know what I could bear, so why do you always question me - I, Zhang Ran, a time-traveler who is at the forefront of the times, are you, a native, qualified to question it?

Of course, in addition to loving to be smart, Wang Wenping is indeed quite talented in raising chickens!

Now in addition to the first batch of chickens hatched under the guidance of Zhang Ran, the rest of the chickens are independently hatched by Wang Wenping, in addition to the hundreds of chicks that have grown to the size of a fist, there are also a batch of chicks that have just hatched in the hatching room.

And the success rate of incubation is even slightly higher than that of the first batch of incubation under Zhang Ran's guidance!

It is estimated that by the end of the year, this farm with more than 3,000 chicken coops will be completely filled with large and small chicken seedlings!

"Let Secretary Wang or Director Lu pick a few clever people for you, come to the farm to help, you can't be busy alone......" Zhang Ran said.

Wang Wenping said resolutely with an expression of my territory and my decision: "Don't want it, captain, I'll do it alone - I don't worry about others!" ”

"It's an order!"

Zhang Ran was angry again: "Now you are still busy, and in the future, the hens will start laying eggs, are you still busy alone?" Besides, didn't you watch me catch a breeding rabbit and come back? In the future, you will have to raise chickens and rabbits - are you still busy? ”

"If that's the case, well!"

Seeing that he not only has to raise chickens, but also is responsible for raising rabbits, Wang Wenping finally has a dignified way that he is deeply respected by the leader and has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"Brother Ran, have you finished speaking!"

The little dog tugged at the corner of Zhang Ran's clothes and said, "The little rabbit seems to be sick, and he hasn't eaten much grass today, so come with me to have a look......"

As soon as he heard that the rabbit was sick, Zhang Ran was not lightly frightened, and he hurriedly followed the puppy in three or two steps to a corner of the farm.

The rabbit farm has not yet been built, and there is still room for the chicken farm, so the rabbits are also kept in the chicken farm for the time being, and they are ready to move there after the rabbit farm is built.

Because they were raised as pets before, these dozen rabbits are not only not afraid of people, but extremely affectionate, as soon as they see someone coming, they jump over and want to pounce on people.

Such a cute little creature, of course, is most liked by a half-grown child like a puppy, and immediately rubs and touches a few rabbits.

Zhang Ran observed it and found that these rabbits were indeed a little sluggish.

But there's nothing to do.

He is good at raising chickens, and that's because he has brought professional chicken farmers, but he really has little contact with rabbits......

The puppy saw that there was no water in the rabbit's trough, and trotted all the way to bring water to feed the rabbit.

As soon as the water was poured into the trough, a group of rabbits rushed up and gulped down!

"Is it because of the heat?"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ran, who was wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, suddenly woke up!

Rabbits, like dogs, do not have sweat glands on their bodies, the only difference is that dogs mainly rely on their tongues to dissipate heat, while rabbits rely on their ears to dissipate heat.

It's the end of July again, and the weather is at its hottest!

Although this kind of earthen wall house is not too hot in the house because of the thick walls, but because there are too many chickens in this chicken farm, even Zhang Ran obviously feels that this chicken farm is much hotter than other places!

For rabbits, it's even hotter!

After figuring out this layer, Zhang Ran smiled and asked the puppy to hurry up and take Lu Yan's scissors over, and cut the rabbit fur on a group of rabbits!

Although I don't know if it works, but the dogs that are similar to rabbits, those shovelers are afraid that the dog will be too hot in the summer to shear the dog to help dissipate heat, Zhang Ran believes that even if it doesn't work, it will definitely not hurt.

After this cut, the originally cute rabbit looks much uglier, and it has a bit of a dehaired phoenix that is not as good as a chicken.

Even the little dog, a rabbit-loving maniac, saw that these rabbits were disgusted, and glared at Zhang Ran depressedly.

But obviously, these rabbits immediately became much more energetic, and after a while, they began to run to eat the green ingredients that they had not eaten before, and the puppy's face looked much better.

"You know the key points of raising rabbits, right?"

Seeing that there was no big problem after these breeding rabbits were sheared, Zhang Ran was relieved and asked Wang Wenhua.

Of course, Wang Wenhua couldn't answer more tricks, it was nothing more than what Zhang Ran had told him before, that he couldn't give rabbits green fodder with dew and rain, and he had to feed them freshly......

"Just remember that, I haven't had a rabbit either, so I don't know more than you do!"

Zhang Ran instructed: "There is no other way now, but to raise and summarize the experience - you pay more attention to the rabbit here, see what green materials the rabbit prefers to eat, private chat, mental state after eating these things, bowel movements, etc., are recorded and summarized, if a rabbit has a problem, it must be isolated as soon as possible......"

Wang Wenhua immediately took out his notebook and recorded it.

Zhang Ran couldn't help but straighten his waist, slowed down his speech when he spoke, and his tone began to be subdued and frustrated - with a little leader speech, the secretary recorded the meaning of the spirit of the speech.

After the busy work on the chicken farm, the day also darkened.

The smell of wine and meat wafts through the village.

Whether it is the people who have not gone back around, or the villagers of Yanggou Village, they are all holding rice bowls, gulping down or waiting in line to eat, everyone has the joy of eating for nothing or the satisfaction of eating a good meal again.

Zhang Ran couldn't help but suspect that these guys were waiting here for themselves and others to come back, not at all to welcome the detachment to return victorious, but to know that the detachment had made a fortune this time, and they would definitely have a big banquet when they came back, so they made a special trip to wait here to prepare to eat and drink!

Seeing Zhang Ran, whether it was the soldiers or the people, everyone greeted them with the most sincere smile and respect.

It's one thing to wait here to eat and drink, for Zhang Ran, who has only been here for a few months, and has really improved their lives, everyone's gratitude is from the heart!

Seeing these smiling faces, Zhang Ran, who was taken advantage of again, was not only not unhappy, but extremely pleased!

In the past, I didn't know how much effort I spent on poverty alleviation, but the vast majority of poor households would not be grateful to him, but felt that he was a poverty alleviation cadre and what he should do!

Coming to this era, although he is no longer a poverty alleviation cadre, what he does is not much different from the previous poverty alleviation time, but he has won the gratitude he should have, which makes his heart full of a sense of achievement.

"Everyone eats and drinks well!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Our detachment can have today, but it all depends on everyone's support, I can assure you, knowing that everyone continues to support me and our Eighth Route Army, and the days to come, will get better and better......"

In order to prove that he did what he said, Zhang Ran even said what he had just explained to Wang Wenhua - starting tomorrow, he will send a chicken to the canteen every other day to stew soup for everyone and supplement nutrition!

Although a chicken is eaten by hundreds of people, and each person is estimated to only drink two mouthfuls of soup and a few shredded meat, it is still undoubtedly a huge progress for these people!

Therefore, before the words fell, he was already cheering, and he almost didn't call Captain Zhang long live!

"Don't thank me, you have to thank yourself, thank you to the Eighth Route Army!"

Zhang Ran said loudly, enjoying the cheers of everyone for a while, and then he entered the branch to eat contentedly.

Now, he doesn't eat big pot rice with everyone anymore - there is a small stove!
