Chapter 104: The Chick Grows Fast

Ten days later, Chen Fei came to the chicken farm again. Looking at the chicks that were already alive, a smile appeared in their mouths. The chickens have begun to thrive, and are now ten days old, and if nothing else, they will be raised to their maximum in another fifty days, and then they can be sold as broilers.

"Chen County Order, why are you here again?" Wu Yun asked.

"Miss Wu, why are you here to keep an eye on it yourself?" Chen Fei asked.

Wu Yun smiled and said, "Chen County Ling, I've always been very curious, how can you make a chick grow into a qualified broiler in sixty days." And now that I see this, it's only been ten days, and I've been raising it for two months. It's incredible, according to Chen County's method, you actually raised a chicken so quickly? If this continues, it is really possible to raise a very fat broiler in sixty days. ”

"Are these chickens fat?" Chen Fei asked.

Wu Yun immediately said: "I asked the chef of Wangshuo Tower to slaughter a few of them, and it turned out that they were much fatter than ordinary pheasants, and even fatter than domestic chickens. ”

Chen Fei was helpless, because there was no corn during the Tang Dynasty, so he could not mix corn flour as feed. And without corn as feed, it can only be replaced by sesame meal. And sesame meal is very high in calories, so these calories are a bit excessive, so just like humans, the calories they eat are high, and they become fat. The proportion of these broilers is relatively high, and there is no way to do this. Chen Fei didn't have a good way to solve it, because feed is like this, after all, Chen Fei couldn't fly to the Americas to get the corn back, right?

However, Chen Fei can only settle down, maybe the people can still accept it. After all, now that the people have less oil and water in their stomachs, maybe it would be better to get fatter. As for those who pursue lean meat, they are all people with better economic strength, because they do not lack oil and water in their stomachs, but want to eat leaner. And if it was an ordinary Tang Dynasty citizen. Instead, they would rather eat fatter meat and get more calories in exchange for energy for physical exertion. Fat provides many times more calories than food, and if fat is supplemented, the food needs of the people will be much lower. If more fat is supplemented, the amount of food that the people need to eat will plummet, so that the rest of the food will be the net income of the people.

And being able to eat meat is very helpful for the people's hearts and minds. Since ancient times, whether or not you can eat meat has been the biggest dividing line between rich and poor, and even in later generations it is an important concept. If Chen Fei can make the people afford to eat meat, it will be a great prosperity. This is more than what grows all kinds of great miracles. Any flying dragon and phoenix in the sky must be good. After all, things like dragons and phoenixes have nothing to do with the people, and they have nothing to do with the people's livelihood. But if a large number of people can afford to eat meat, then the happiness index for the ancient people will soar.

What's more important is Chen Fei's vegetable basket project, which can be replicated in many places. It can be replicated, which means that the level of non-staple food in the whole country can also be greatly improved. And everyone can afford to eat meat and fat, and the food saved can naturally be regarded as surplus food. This is also Chen Fei's plan, by allowing people to use fat to replenish physical energy, and then save food to increase grain production. Although the land did not actually increase production, it was able to make the living conditions of the people much better. The food saved will also be able to feed a larger non-agricultural population. This is also an indirect increase in productivity, which can liberate more agricultural population.

"Little chicken, grow up soon......" Chen Fei actually hummed a song.

"Poof!" Wu Yun suddenly laughed.

"Chen County Order, you still have such a childlike heart! But you made up this song. It's kind of interesting. This is completely different from the Yuefu poetry collection, how did you come up with it? Wu Yun then asked.

"Hehe, although I have read books, it does not mean that my life is good. My 'adoptive father' was a low-ranking official in the former Sui Dynasty. He adopted me in troubled times, but our lives were still tight. As for any Yuefu poetry collection, then we don't even think about it. I was only able to play with some normal kids. Then make some big vernacular songs. Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei has made up this kind of nonsense many times. Anyway, his so-called "adoptive father" is just a low-level official of the Sui Dynasty, who lived a very hard life in troubled times. In troubled times, even high-ranking officials can't enjoy a good life, let alone low-level officials, so it's very hard, so Chen Fei's nonsense is reasonable. And Chen Fei found a reason for his own reading, after all, low-level officials also have to be coarse in writing and ink, if they can't write and ink, then they can't be officials. Of course, this is a civilian official, the military attache said otherwise.

"Miss Wu, the next winter is the lunar month, the weather is getting colder and colder, we must take good care of these chickens. We can put some stoves in this coop and keep these chicks warm so that they can grow properly. If it's cold, they're not only likely to freeze to death, but they'll grow slowly! Chen Fei said.

All kinds of organisms grow slowly in winter, and instead of growing meat, they consume body fat to survive the winter. Therefore, Chen Fei also wants to keep these chicks warm to prevent them from growing slowly or even freezing to death because of the cold winter.

"By the way, if you light the stove, you have to ventilate it. If there is no ventilation, there can be a lot of poisonous gas in the stove that cannot be dispersed, and it will poison a lot of broilers. Moreover, we also have to pay attention to cleaning, and all kinds of excrement pulled out by these chicks every day must also be cleaned up in time. If excrement accumulates over a long period of time, it is afraid that it will accumulate epidemics. Once the chicken plague spreads, I am afraid that the losses will be very huge. Chen Fei said.

Of course, Chen Fei knows that what this kind of chicken farm is most afraid of is chicken plague. In ancient times, there was no vaccine against the plague of birds, so everything depended on one's own hygiene. Once the chicken plague breaks out, the final loss is nothing. Therefore, of course, Chen Fei attaches great importance to hygiene, and all kinds of chicken excrement must be cleaned up every day to keep it hygienic and clean.

"Brother Chen Fei!" A little girl's voice came from behind Chen Fei. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
