The original design of the chicken farm was to be constructed with 5,000 chickens.

Now most of the area in the chicken farm has been filled with chickens of all sizes, and as soon as you enter the chicken farm, countless chicken cries immediately fill the ear drums, and the sound is boiling.

"Captain, do you know how many chickens have died of disease or other reasons since the chicken farm was built for so long?"

Wang Wenhua showed off to Zhang Ran with an arrogant face: "Less than a hundred, hey! ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Ran said with disdain: "You have credit for the chicken farm to run so well, but the biggest credit is not me?" I don't teach you, will you raise? ”

Wang Wenhua was very unconvinced: "I'm blue!" ”

"I'll let you be blue-out of blue, you can deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?"

Zhang Ran kicked over with two feet, pointed to the few chicken farm apprentices who were watching this scene on the side, and said: "Do you see it, this is the end of bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors, don't you learn from him, remember this chicken farm, I am the ancestor master!" ”

After playing for a while, Wang Wenping pinched his chin worriedly and said: "Captain, at most in May and June next year, the five thousand chickens in our chicken farm will definitely be full, according to the current daily egg production rate, it is no problem to collect three or four thousand chickens a day, but there are so many eggs, how can we finish eating them - eggs are delicious, but we will get tired of eating them every day!" ”

"If Secretary Wang hears your kid's words here, he has to pinch you to death!"

Zhang Ran said stupidly: "Special mother, it's only been a few days of good life?" I'm worried that I'll get tired of eating too many eggs! ”

It's a joke, but it's true!

Although the shelf life of eggs is long, they will eventually spoil, and this problem must be solved!

"Don't worry about wasting too much food, I tell you, no matter how much you eat, it won't be wasted!"

Zhang Ran said that not only did he not worry about the problem of not being able to eat all the eggs, but also immediately began to discuss with Wang Wenhua to further expand the chicken farm, not only to breed hens that can produce eggs in batches, but also to breed broilers!

"When the time comes, in addition to our own eating of the eggs we will take, the uneaten part will let the villagers exchange eggs for wheat bran or something, make chicken feed, pig feed, and raise pigs and chickens!"

Zhang Ran made a plan for the future again: "In the past, the villagers couldn't eat enough and definitely didn't want to eat eggs, but now that the fertilizer has come out, the grain production has increased significantly, and it is certain that they will exchange eggs for grains and other grains that are not easy to serve!" ”

"That's it!"

Thinking of the great increase in grain production with chemical fertilizers, Wang Wenhua said happily: "Now, every household is worried about too much food and there is no place to put it at home, and all the carpenters are crazy for the villagers, let's exchange eggs for grain or something, they must be willing to change ......."

Of course Zhang Ran knows this.

Using eggs in exchange for deflated grain and other feed, can greatly reduce the cost of breeding, chickens, pigs and the like can be cultivated in large quantities!

"In the future, the eliminated roosters or hens with low egg production rate, as well as the pigs raised, in addition to a part of the food, the rest of the fight to be marinated into bacon and bacon, these bacon chickens can not only be stored for a longer time, but also more and more delicious!"

Zhang Ran mentioned his life, while making breeding plans, he also wanted to use these things to make some reserves for the future!

In a few months, the city of Dingzhou guarded by Yuan Zhenfeng will fall, and the blockade and encirclement of this large area by the little devils will be completed.

Although the terrain here, as well as the arrangements in all aspects, give Zhang Ran the confidence that he can hold the most important area of the base area, but the outer plain area will be completely reduced to the territory of the devil!

When the time comes, the little devils will not only loot those people, but also implement the extremely cruel rationing system!

The rationing system stipulates that only the Japanese can eat all kinds of rice and white flour, and the Chinese people can only eat sorghum, corn, and other grains that are difficult to eat, difficult to digest and have no nutrients.

Not only that, but these unnutritious grains are only available to people between the ages of 12 and 55, and the elderly and children beyond this age group are not given!

It can be said that the rationing system of the little devils is to starve the elderly and children to death, so that the Chinese will be cut off from their grandchildren!

In this case, the common people themselves have nothing to eat, so there is no way to come up with the food that is extremely insufficient to help the Eighth Route Army!

Zhang Ran's plans are to prepare for the future, to produce as much food as possible, reserve more grain, and reserve some meat and the like before these worst situations come!

In this way, once the most difficult years came, the detachment would have the ability to supply the main force with food, and even the strength to help the common people who were struggling under the cruel rationing system.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Ran to tell Wang Wenhua directly, just to explain, silently reserve, and silently prepare.

On the side of the chicken farm, Wang Wenhua is already very experienced, and Zhang Ran doesn't need to worry about anything at all.

After checking it and reminding the chicken farm to pay attention to disinfection and prevent epidemic diseases, Zhang Ran went to the rabbit farm with Wang Wenping.

The scale of the rabbit farm is much larger than that of the chicken farm.

However, the size of the rabbit herd has not risen at all, and the huge rabbit farm seems to be a little empty.

Rabbits are fertility machines.

It has only been a short three months since Lingjiang got the rabbit breed, and it has only been more than 40 days since Zhang Ran led the team to leave.

But in such a short period of time, almost all the female rabbits have already laid a litter of bunnies!

Now, more than ten pairs of female rabbits are placed in more than ten cutting pens, seventy or eighty big palm-sized, small rabbits that are still feeding like small mice, look particularly gratifying.

"The hares that were caught were impossible to feed if they weren't for these domestic rabbits, but with these domestic rabbits for them to keep together and adapt, it would be much easier to feed!"

Wang Wenhua introduced the basic situation of these rabbits to Zhang Ran, and then said: "I have to say, this rabbit grows fast, don't look at the size of a little mouse when it was just born, but when it grows to the size of this palm, it will only take ten days......"

"If it doesn't grow fast, do you think I'll spend so much effort raising it?"

Zhang Ran snorted, and said that he wanted to raise rabbits with vigorous development, so that the rabbits had more cubs and the growth rate was fast enough!

"The basic points of raising rabbits, I have mastered almost here, as long as there is no special epidemic, our rabbit farm has developed into the same as chicken farms, and finally the problem of large-scale breeding is not ......"

Wang Wenhua first showed himself a lot of merit, and then said shyly: "But captain, the blood match you said, I haven't mastered it yet......

"Didn't you just shout that you were better than the blue? Isn't it blue now? ”

Zhang Ran gave Wang Wenhua a few white eyes, and then told him about the things that need to be paid attention to about rabbit blood matching.

Generally speaking, after a mammal conceives a child, there will be a period of recovery in the middle of the next child, and then it can conceive and give birth again.

But in rabbits, there is a peculiar ability, that is, after they have given birth to cubs, they can conceive again in a very short period of time, and give birth to cubs again.

Sometimes, they can conceive again within a few days of giving birth to a litter and start breeding cubs again!

This situation is called blood matching.

The time it takes for a female rabbit to give birth to her cubs is very short, it only takes a month to give birth to her cubs!

For example, if a female rabbit has just laid a litter of cubs on the first day of January, in the case of using the blood matching method, then it may be able to have a litter of cubs on the day of February......

A female rabbit may be able to lay ten litters of cubs a year!

This terrifying production capacity, in nature, is estimated to be comparable only to mice!

Of course, although rabbits can be blood-matched and greatly improve the farrowing rate, there are still some requirements.

For example, the age, weight, and temperature of the breeding environment are the key factors for whether the breeding rabbit is suitable for blood matching.

“…… The aspect of young rabbit feeding should be well controlled, as long as the young rabbit can carry out their own feeding, then weaning as soon as possible, so as to ensure the nutrition of the female rabbit, enough physical strength to conceive a new litter of young rabbits......"

After telling Wang Wenhua some of the key points of blood matching that he vaguely remembered, Zhang Ran instructed again: "I have no experience in raising rabbits, but I know these things roughly, and the most important thing is your side, observe more, practice more, and finally apply what you have learned, understand?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Wang Wenhua's head was like a chicken pecking rice, and then he said proudly: "Captain, then the rabbit breeding will be successful, I should be the ancestor of rabbits, right?" ”

Zhang Ran stupidly gave Wang Wenhua a word - get out, don't want to rob yourself of the name of the grandfather!

"Captain, this trip out, hard work, right?"

At this moment, Lao Zheng, a carpenter of the detachment, came in with a bunch of wooden squares, and replaced the pitted wooden railings on the rabbit pen that were gnawed by the rabbits' teeth, and said with a smile while greeting: "This rabbit is growing fast, but this mouth is too cheap, you see, it's just been changed for two days, and it will be gnawed like this for me again, and when there are more rabbits in the future, I suspect that I am busy changing the railings for these rabbits every day, and I have to be tired to death......

"If you ask Brother Niu to wrap some iron sheets around this railing for you, I don't believe that these rabbits can still gnaw all the iron sheets for me!"

Zhang Ran greeted, and then turned back to Lao Zheng and said: "Last time, I said that the chickens in our chicken farm have grown to five or six catties in four months and have begun to lay eggs, who killed them and didn't believe it?" ”

"Ahem - Captain, it's me and it's my ......"

Lao Zheng laughed and flattered: "Don't talk about this chicken or rabbit in the future, captain, you just say that whoever farts it is fragrant, my Lao Zheng absolutely believes it......"

Now for Zhang Ran, Lao Zheng is completely convinced, and he doesn't care about Zhang Ran's squeezing himself - so many eggs, so many chickens, and so many rabbits in the future......

Just thinking about it, Lao Zheng's heart is beautiful - with these, what is the point of being squeezed out for a few words?

He swore that not to mention being squeezed by Zhang Ran for a few words, even if he had to slap his big mouth, he would have to smile and lean his right cheek over after slapping his left cheek......
