After buying a large bundle of oil and wheat vegetables, Lin Feng happily returned home, and then began to watch the 10 starry sky silkworms eat a lot.

Adult starry sky silkworms, the "amount of food" is the maximum, less than an hour, a large bundle of oil and wheat vegetables are eaten, and it also shows a look of "I am not full, hurry up to feed me".

Lin Feng went to the vegetable market twice more, and bought all the oil and wheat vegetables he could buy, but still did not satisfy their appetite, so he could only go early the next morning, and then bought another small scale, and asked Fan Lei to help watch it at home.

Start feeding from eight in the morning until they are full and see how much a silkworm can eat.

After returning from school in the afternoon, Lin Feng also saw him adding vegetable leaves to the box.

"I've gone out to buy it twice," Fan Lei said, "and so far, I've eaten 8 catties of one." ”

Lin Feng said in his heart that this is too edible, 8 catties of oil and wheat vegetables will cost about 25 yuan according to the market price.

Fortunately, at eight o'clock in the evening, the starry sky silkworm finally had eaten enough, curled up and began to sleep.

Lin Feng didn't sleep all night, because according to the instructions, they would start to spin silk after waking up from sleep, winding into a small silk ball.

Until four o'clock in the morning, the starry sky silkworms woke up, crowded in the corner of the box and began to spin silk, they were like old men who could only start Tai Chi, constantly drawing circles with their heads, winding and winding the transparent silk threads, and Lin Feng's head was dizzy.

The process of spinning silk lasted for 8 hours, and all 10 silkworms circled out a thumb-sized silk ball, and after the body quickly lost weight for a large circle, it slowly curled up again to sleep.

Probably tired.

Lin Feng was also tired, and in order to study them, he specially asked for leave today. I didn't close my eyes all night, and I held on until noon.

Just lying down for a while, Fan Lei woke him up again, saying that those foodies started to act again.

After several days of observation, Lin Feng gradually mastered the work and rest rules of the starry sky silkworm, and also preliminarily calculated the breeding cost and approximate profit.

After eating for 12 hours, the starry sky silkworm rested for 8 hours, got up and spun silk for 8 hours, and then took a nap for 1 hour.

If the food is sufficient, a cycle is about 29 hours.

In this cycle, they have to eat 10 catties of oil and wheat vegetables, which is really more edible than pigs!

Spit out about 1.35 grams of silk balls, worth 240 yuan.

It's a bizarre species, a species that makes money.

The market price of oilseed and wheat vegetables fluctuates around 3 pieces, and it can be grown all year round. Large-scale planting, the average yield of one mu is 2000 kilograms, and the cost of one pound is only a few cents.

That is to say, the feed cost of raising a starry sky silkworm and a silking cycle is not more than 10 pieces at most.

The biggest cost comes from the cost of buying a starry sky silkworm.

An adult silkworm baby needs 20,000, and there is no breeding technology, so all of them have to be bought. According to the profit of 230 yuan in one cycle, the cost can be recovered in more than 3 months.

It's a long-term investment plan, and how to do it is also a problem.

The initial investment is too large, a large amount of land is needed to grow vegetables, and special people are needed to manage it, which is too troublesome.

If you raise less, you won't make much money.

After thinking about it, he finally thought of cooperation.

Who do you work with?

All his previous projects seemed to be dealing with big businessmen and rich people. But this time, he decided to let ordinary people also earn some benefits.

Let the farmers buy and raise the starry sky silkworms at their own expense, and he recycles them at a price of 80 yuan per gram. It is equivalent to a cycle, and a farmer can have a profit of 100 yuan for a silkworm, and the cost can be recovered in 8 months.

After the cost is recovered, the farmer can get a net profit of 2,700 yuan per month for a silkworm, and the family takes out a few shares of land to plant oil and wheat vegetables, and invests 40,000 yuan to raise two starry sky silkworms, which is equivalent to the income of an adult labor force working outside, or even more.

But how to promote it is also a problem.

If you really want to go directly to the countryside to promote, I am afraid that I will be blasted out by the villagers with hoes and flat poles, and no one will believe any contracts, guarantees, etc.

Therefore, it is best for the government to come forward in this matter, start to make a few pilots, and wait until everyone sees that this project can really make money, and then they can rest assured and boldly invest in it.

So Lin Feng found Zhang Siya to see if she had any acquaintances in the relevant departments.

A few days later, Zhang Siya brought Director Zhang from the Provincial Department of Agriculture.

After listening to Lin Feng's introduction, Director Zhang seemed to be a little unconvinced, but he couldn't help but be curious, and looked left and right with a snow-white small silk ball.

Lin Feng found the thread end of the silk ball and slowly pulled out a long silk thread.

"This kind of silk thread is much thicker than ordinary silk thread, but it is very tough. Lin Feng said, "Just such a thin one, it can bear the weight of 100 kilograms." ”

He also did experiments on the spot, showing the tenacity of starry sky silk.

Director Zhang finally paid attention to it at this time, and this is definitely a good project with broad prospects.

Think about it, a rope as thick as chopsticks can bear the weight of 100 tons, what is the concept?

In the next few days, Director Zhang simply stayed at Lin Feng's house temporarily, writing and drawing on 10 starry sky silkworms all day long, making various records.

In the end, he decided that this was definitely a new industry that could be developed. But if he really wants to roll it out across the board, he needs to understand and experiment with it further.

So Lin Feng bought another 100 starry sky silkworms and asked him to take them back to raise and observe.

A week later, the director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture personally approached Lin Feng and strongly supported the cultivation of sericulture in the starry sky, and listed it as a key promotion project, and immediately set up 15 pilot projects.

With the leadership of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, coupled with the cooperation of the local government departments, things will be done much more smoothly, and 30 households have signed contracts in just a few days, and a total of 60 starry sky silkworms have been ordered.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, in order to gain people's trust, Lin Feng decided to start silk recycling in half a month.

In late June, Lin Feng took advantage of the three-day holiday of the Dragon Boat Festival and began to visit 15 pilot projects with more than a dozen people from the Department of Agriculture.

The first thing I came to was an ordinary small farm yard, a small two-story bungalow, a car worth more than 100,000 yuan parked in the yard of the concrete floor, and a farm tricycle, which seemed to be in good condition.

The hostess of the house, Sister He, is in her thirties, and she is digging the ground next to the house under the sun, pulling out all the freshly flowering peppers, presumably to plant oily wheat vegetables.

Seeing a large group of people coming, Sister He immediately put down her tools, and when she heard that it was the leader who came to save effort, she was so cramped that she didn't know what to say, and she was pouring water and taking a stool.

"Sister He, don't be busy," a young cadre in the village said, "We came to see the starry sky silkworms you raised, and then the company that signed a contract with you came to collect the silk today." ”

"Didn't you say a month? Not a few yet!"

Sister He brought out a delicate wooden box, which was also covered with breathable gauze, and it could be seen that she attached great importance to these two silkworm babies.

"Is it easy to raise?" asked the gray-haired director.

"It's easy to raise, it's better than ordinary silkworms," Sister He replied, "It's too edible, such two small ones, you have to eat twenty catties of vegetables a day, and I don't know how they digest it!"

Everyone was happy, and then Sister He took out a small bag, which was a snow-white silk ball.

Lin Feng counted, there were only 23 in total, which was a few less.

"I didn't know when I first got it back, I didn't feed it in time, and I didn't start spinning until the third day. ”

That's pretty much it, if the starry sky silkworm doesn't eat it all at once, it won't spin silk.

Lin Feng took out a precision electronic scale, just 31 grams, it seems that Sister He still takes good care of them, and the spit is enough.

According to 110 yuan per gram, 31 grams is a total of 3410 yuan, and Lin Feng took out cash from his bag to pay on the spot.

With a stack of money, Sister He's face blossomed, and she began to make money in half a month, and this company really didn't deceive people.

After Lin Feng and the others left, some neighbors began to come over to inquire.

"It's the people from the Provincial Department of Agriculture and the sericulture company," Sister He said, "and I came to collect silk for the first time today." ”

No one is convinced.

This form of cooperation has been carried out before, but most of them are anticlimactic, and it is the common people who suffer in the end.

"That year, we planted long beans, and said that we would take back 1 piece of 5 pounds, but the long beans had not grown yet, and those companies were gone. Later, I still had to sell it on the street by myself, barely making a profit. An old man said, "Those companies are all about selling seeds for money, so you have to be careful." ”

"Yes, there are still beaver rats that raise them, and they all lose their money!"

"It's okay, there is a village as a guarantor. ”

"What can the village guarantee? Can you still ask the village chief for money when the time comes?"

Sister He didn't want to say more.

She had a cousin who was a civil servant and had told her that the story was very credible. Because the boss of that company is called Lin Feng, he is very rich, and he made special cold medicine and hemostatic powder.

Such a person has a family and a business, and his business is booming, and he absolutely does not dare to do such a thing that pits the common people, otherwise the government will definitely not forgive him.

So she has secretly decided to wait until the end of the month, if she can collect another sum of money, she will buy a few more silkworms back. For this reason, she opened up almost an acre of land and planted oily wheat vegetables.

In fact, the 15 pilots are basically people like Sister He, who are a little bit related to each other in various departments. This can't be said that the people in the department are selfish, if you really want to find 15 of the most ordinary people, it is estimated that it will be difficult.

Because of the previous long beans, beaver rats, French snails, cacti, earth yuan, etc., there are too many similar things, which have made everyone afraid.

The 15 pilots took a day, with a maximum of 25 silk balls and a minimum of 10 silkballs, the reason for which was naturally that the silkworms were not fed, so the yield was insufficient.

But on the whole, the results are gratifying, at least 15 families have income, and some people in the neighborhood are already starting to get excited.

There are also some village cadres who took the initiative to ask Lin Feng when he would start to promote it in large quantities.

"If you want to raise it, you should first plant oil and wheat vegetables," Lin Feng said, "otherwise the silkworms will have nothing to eat when they come back, and they will not spit silk when the time comes, and they will be in a hurry." ”

After his reminder, many people began to grow oilseed lettuce. Regardless of whether you raise silkworms or not, it is always right to plant vegetables first, and you can sell them to others if you don't raise them yourself.
