Two days later, Song Jiang sent someone to deliver the news that the county government only rented but did not sell that piece of river, and the rent was very low, almost for nothing.

And Zheng's separation made Du Jun cry and laugh.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, the marriage was proved by a marriage certificate, but the Zheng family and Zhao Shugui did not go to the marriage certificate at all.

This is also the reason why the Wang family was troublesome at the beginning, and the countryside rarely handled marriage certificates, and the Zheng family was also confused about this.

At this point, there is finally a solution to the two things.

Send Uncle Tong to the county government to handle the land lease at the river bay, and inform Zhao Dazhuang that the duck farm was officially built.

Du Jun began to prepare for the artificial incubation of chickens.

In modern times, Du Jun has a student who likes pastoral style, in addition to planting vegetables on the balcony at home, he also tried to hatch chickens, and recorded the whole process with the circle of friends.

When Du Jun looked through the circle of friends, he was also very curious about this, so he watched it a few more times and remembered some key points.

Now, according to the memory of the time, I try to hatch the chicks by myself.

Chicken hatching requires fertilized eggs, temperature, humidity, and with these three items, there is basically a possibility of success.

At this time, the temperature outside was still relatively low, Du Jun and Zheng were in the incubation room, the ground was covered with dry straw, and a basin was placed on it, and half of the hot water of seventy or eighty degrees was stored in the basin, covered with a layer of cheesecloth. Put a wooden box on the water basin, use paper at the bottom of the box and around it, stick it tightly, and then spread half an inch of cotton at the bottom of the box and around it, put the selected eggs, and then cover the box with a quilt, and the simple incubator is done.

All that's left is to turn the eggs and change the hot water every three hours.

The temperature of egg incubation is more than 38 degrees, and Du Jun plans to use a thermometer to confirm the temperature in the early stage, and then combine it with the actual feel to slowly explore the experience.

In one morning, ten simple incubators appeared neatly in front of me.

Zheng is not optimistic about Du Jun's nonsense, the hen nest only starts in March, you just get some cotton, get some water, you can hatch chickens?

But seeing that her daughter is full of interest, it's not easy to say anything, so you should accompany your daughter to do experiments, yes, it's an experiment, a new term that my daughter said.

When it really started to hatch, Du Jun found that he had made another big mistake, completely underestimating the tediousness of this work, and she and the Zheng family couldn't keep it busy at all.

Subsequently, the women in the Zhuangzi all added a new job, turning eggs and boiling hot water.

Even Tong Bin, who had finished the accounts, came out to help, and after he broke a few eggs in a row, he was blasted out by everyone.

Du Jun said with a smile that he hung a sign at the door, and Tong Bin was forbidden to enter!

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen were broken, and the destructive power is too strong!

Seven days later, Du Jun took out a few eggs for the Zheng family to observe.

Hasn't changed? Several people looked at each other.

Du Jun directly broke an egg, and in the center of the bowl, he clearly saw a red line on the egg yolk.

Is this broken?

"This is the seventh day of the egg, you see, these red threads are the blood vessels of the chickens, which shows that our experiment is ...... Successful! ”

Du Jun said to everyone with a smile.

"Really? Gentleman, you didn't lie to your aunt! "Aunt Liu doesn't think that this will turn into a chicken.

"It's only the seventh day, and I'll wait for about half a month before it's really a chick."

With Du Jun's explanation, everyone really has confidence in the hatching of chickens.

"Tonight, gather everyone, we have a meeting, and a few of you also have to think about how many people are needed for the work you are responsible for, and I want to start recruiting for foreign workers."

Recruiting workers means that Du Jun's farm is really going to start operating.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the hall, and Du Jun also put forward several requirements, the person in charge of each field, to say the number of people they need, the nature of the helpers and explain the reason.

Fourth Uncle Tong started first, throwing bricks and stones, and then Tong Yue......

An hour later, Tong Bin counted the number of people in demand, handed it to Du Jun, and everyone dispersed.

Before going to bed, Zhao Yan secretly came to Du Jun, took out a summary of the accounts of the previous three months, and informed that during this time, the amount of goods in Wangjiang Pavilion had decreased somewhat.

Hearing the news, it was like a basin of cold water poured on Du Jun's head.

"Yan'er, what do you think about this?"

"Sister, I think it's just over the New Year, and the business of the restaurant is not as good as it was a year ago, and what we sold before the year was all sheep and cattle, which accounted for a large part, and now these are rarely available....." Looking at Du Jun, who was getting more and more gloomy, Zhao Yan's voice was getting lower and lower.

Du Jun thought for a while and said: "In this way, tomorrow you go to Anxian County to see the price of chickens and ducks, and then check how many vendors are selling in the market. ”

Is this the beginning of the move?

The next day, Du Jun had a secret conversation with Uncle Tong, determined the number of workers, and asked Uncle Tong to go out to find someone.

In this secret conversation, Du Jun was persuaded by Fourth Uncle Tong to recruit some long-term or short-term workers according to Du Jun's original intention, but the fourth uncle's words made Du Jun give up this idea.

"Owner, our farm has just been built, there will definitely be people who are red-eyed, if you get into someone else's house, learn it, and ...... to us The owner is a kind-hearted person, you buy them, but it is their creation, otherwise you will be bought by some bad masters, and the end will be even worse. ”

Yes, if outsiders know the core technology of the farm, Du Jun's advantage will be gone.

Even if you don't adapt to the master-servant relationship of this era, you must adapt to the human trafficking of this era.

Called Tong Bin, accompanied to see how many living creatures there were in Zhuangzi, and Zhao Yan's words last night also reminded Du Jun.

After a turn, there were sixty chickens, more than forty rabbits, more than forty ducks, eight sheep, and two beef cattle.

Seeing beef cattle, Du Jun found a new business opportunity, cattle or buffaloes, raised in the space, and now there are two months before spring ploughing, and the number can be doubled.

Go back to the house and ask Tong Bin to take out all the silver on the account, more than five hundred taels, and gather a few helpers to buy all the cattle cubs and adult cattle in the market, not the old cows.

"The owner, then there will be no money on the books! I still have to buy forage these days", with such a large sum of silver, Tong Bin was a little at a loss.

"It's okay, this time we just earn a quick buck, you just go and buy it, you don't have to worry about anything else." With a wave of his hand, Du Jun sent him out.

Adult cattle are generally seven or eight taels of silver, and they will rise to about ten taels when they are ploughed in the spring, or rent or sell, which is a business that makes a steady profit without losing money.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yan also brought back a piece of good news.
