Chapter 151

"Uncle, how many old men do you call?" The third uncle was still supported by the two young juniors, although he walked slowly, but several people followed honestly, even Lao Zhong, who greeted Zhang Yi with a smile when he saw him from a distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yi nodded, not that he likes to play music, but that there is no need to be a nobleman.

On the contrary, if Zhang Yi rushed to meet them, they would feel terrified.

Zhang Yi nodded slightly, and after several people had seen the ceremony, he said straight to the point: "Third uncle, Lao Zhong, and a few stewards, it would delay the big guy's dinner by letting you come over at this time, but this matter is a little important, and the house is noisy, so I chose it outside." ”

Several people didn't even dare to say it, in fact, even if Zhang Yi didn't explain, they wouldn't say anything in their hearts, so they all stood aside and listened to Zhang Yi's words.

"Old Zhong, you have always been in charge of the affairs in Zhuangzi, how many ducks are there in our duck shed now? There are also numbers on the chicken coop! Zhang Yi asked at Lao Zhong.

Although he knows the approximate number, Zhang Yi has never cared about how many there are, but now that the adult ducks have reached the point of being full of ducks, he has to ask.

Lao Zhong first saluted Zhang Yi respectfully, and then said: "Young master, there were more than 2,500 ducks in our duck shed at the beginning, but later because we needed to hunt locusts in the geography, a lot of them were sent intermittently from the hatchery, and now there are about 12,000 ducks.

However, this number is not accurate, now, the government no longer buys chickens and ducks, just rely on the large households of several state capitals around Chang'an to buy some, so our hatchery needs to send the chickens and ducklings that can't be sold every few days, so this number is really not easy to calculate!

Over there in the chicken coop.... Hehe! It's less, because the chickens will fly around when they grow up, and it's hard to catch them in the ground, and now there are only about 4,000 chickens! ”

More than 4,000 or less?

Zhang Yi is also about to be by the old bell!

Chickens and ducks are 15,000 or 60,000 together, no wonder the whole village jumps early every morning, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully.

Although it had long been expected that the number of chickens and ducks would not be small, hearing Lao Zhong's conservative estimate of this number still made Zhang Yi's idea of batch slaughter more determined.

If nothing else, based on the current sales of hatcheries, it is likely that this number will have to double in less than three months.

At that time, Zhuangzi will not want to live in people, it will be a large-scale chicken and duck farm!

The most important thing is that investing so much, which is both human and financial, and not wanting to find a way to exchange it for money is the biggest failure.

Of course, the most worrying thing is not this problem, and the third uncle interjected with a sad face: "There are more chickens and ducks, and Zhuangzi has seen it for the time being, the most important thing is that these chicken and duck foods are not easy to handle!"

It's okay to talk about duck food, I feed it once a day, and at other times I put it in the river to find food for myself, but the chicken can't do it! This thing has wings, and although it can't fly, it can also run out several feet high, and if it runs into the field, the crops will suffer, so it has to be fed two or three times, and if it is fed, it will lose its meat.

To put it mildly, many people have not eaten in these days, and these animals live better than people! Now, in order to get some fresh grass to feed them with chaff, the babies will go down the hill to beat the hay on their backs as soon as school is out......"

Saying that, the third uncle sighed, shook his head and said: "I have traveled all over the four or five miles radius, and even the Zhuangzi next door has gone there, and I dare not go far to prepare so many things every day!" ”

The third uncle is telling the truth, more than 10,000 chickens and ducks, even if an average chicken and duck need three taels of forage, then at the end of the day, it will need thousands of catties of forage.

Although Zhuangzili purchased a lot of air-dried forage some time ago, it was not very suitable, so it was not a simple matter to prepare the forage needed by these livestock.

After listening to the words of the third uncle, Lao Liu, the manager of the hatchery, gritted his teeth, looked at Zhang Yi, and asked tentatively: "Uncle, why don't we take a break from the hatchery during this time?" If we continue like this, even if we can hatch a lot of chickens and ducks every day, we will all starve to death! ”

"Well, why don't we stop the hatchery for a while?" Lao Zhong also said thoughtfully: "The hatchery will stop for a while, and if there are no new chickens and ducks, we will only need to hold on for a few months, and it will be easy to do it when the victims of the disaster have returned." During this time, the babies went out to fetch forage and asked Wang Wu to bring some people to follow, how about it? ”

"It won't take long to delay, although there are still many victims in Jingyang, but there are a lot of them, and there are so many forages needed every day, it is also a trouble for the babies to walk so far, hey!" The third uncle was also helpless, and he couldn't think of any good way, so he could only sigh in the end, and then sat on the stone next to him in a daze.

"Haven't you ever thought about slaughtering a batch of chickens and ducks?" Zhang Yi felt that the thoughts of several people were at the tip of the horns.

Kill a batch and control the number of chickens and ducks to a certain number, then all the problems will be solved, but why can't so many people think of it?

As soon as the words came out, Lao Zhong was in a hurry.

"Young master, this can't be done!" Lao Zhong hurriedly stopped: "The chickens and ducks in our Zhuangzi are all good chickens and ducks, each with big meat and fat, and they can also lay eggs, if you kill them, you will lose a lot of money!" ”

Not only Lao Zhong, but even the third uncle and Lao Liu hurriedly stopped it.

Chickens and ducks are definitely a great asset for a farmer.

Although it is not as good as pigs and cows, it is definitely the most important source of nutrition for the family, not one of them.

You must know that it is impossible for the Zhuang family to eat meat every day like Zhang Yi, let alone in the years of continuous natural disasters, wanting to eat meat is something that you can't dream of.

Of course, Zhangjiazhuang is indeed richer than other Zhuangzi, but this kind of affluence is only to fill the stomach, and if you want to eat meat, you have to wait until the weekly work and meal before you can make a tooth sacrifice.

Other than that, if you want to see some meat, you don't have to think about it!

It is in this way that eggs are undoubtedly very important, especially for the elderly and children, if they can eat an egg every once in a while, then it is definitely a great joy.

"Uncle, don't you dare to kill adult chickens and ducks!" Lao Liu was already about to cry.

A hen or duck can lay an egg a day, not to mention three hundred and sixty-five in a year, let alone two hundred or so, in his opinion, these chickens and ducks that can lay eggs are simply a steady stream of wealth, even if it is to kill one, it is to cut meat on his body!
