"Lady!" Ah Qing, who was seriously picking up chickens in the broken eggshells, raised his head and saw Gongsun Yan and the others, with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Lots of chicks!" Ah Qing's cheeks were also red with joy, but unlike Gongsun Cheng's joy at the birth of a new life, Ah Qing's joy was even more simple.

If there are a lot of chickens, there are a lot of eggs, and there are a lot of delicious things.

When she was in Xiangguan, she raised a few chickens, and every time the chickens laid eggs, her aunt saved them and left them to go to the market to exchange some firewood and salt.

On your birthday, you can still get a boiled egg to eat.

Although she is now in Guzhu, the lady treats her very well, and she can often eat eggs with the little son, but she still remembers the scene of begging for eggs from her mother when she was a child.

A few days ago, her mother said that she would stay in Guzhu's new home to clean up and find some chicks to raise.

In Ah Qing's opinion, these chicks are countless eggs and wealth.

So take care of it very positively.

"Ah Qing brought the little boy over early in the morning to clean the house, prepare feed, and take care of it carefully." Zhao Xi, who followed behind, praised with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao." Although Zhao Xi praised her, when Ah Qing saw Zhao Xi come in, he instantly shrank into a ball like a little quail.

In the evening enlightenment course, Ah Qing also studied seriously, but his grades were about the same level as Gongsun Cheng.

On the teacher's spiritual suppression of the scumbag, it has been the same since ancient times.

Seeing the division commander Zhao Xi, Ah Qing always looked cringe.

It is worth mentioning that there is also Zhang Ze who reacted like this.

He recently learned from Zhao Yun and a few people to grow short hair, but the image of becoming more and more powerful after growing a short beard did not affect him to avoid Zhao Xi when he saw him, and never dared to look at Zhao Xi.

Gongsun Yan also praised Ah Qing, holding Gongsun Cheng with one hand, and under Gongsun Cheng's reluctant gaze, he put the chicken in his palm into the kudzu cloth in the bamboo basket.

The chicken has always been a part of the small-scale peasant economy, and it is also an image of the ideal life, one of the criteria for defining affluence in Mencius's statecraft.

However, the ancient peasant families were not wealthy, did not have so much grain to raise chickens, and did not have so many seedlings.

A hen can hatch up to 20 eggs at a time.

Like Gongsun Yan, buying eggs that are about to break their shells and using the fire kang to hatch at a constant temperature is something that can only be done after more than a thousand years.

These are all improved white-feathered chickens that she bought in the trader.

What may make Ah Qing a little disappointed is that this kind of white-feathered chicken tastes more than a little worse than traditional farmhouse free-range chickens, and it can't produce as many eggs as Ah Qing thought, and there will be countless eggs to eat in the future.

As a broiler breed, this chicken pursues meat yield and growth cycle.

The white-feathered broiler is an attempt made by Gongsun Yan to solve the problem of meat.

This kind of chicken has an innate advantage, grow fast and strong, eat 1.6 catties of feed can grow a catty of meat, in the case of feeding feed, 42 days can be slaughtered and slaughtered.

These seedlings are purchased directly from the system, and the grandparents are genetically stable and can be propagated directly.

As for the subsequent biological breeding and other issues, it is not the field of Gongsun Yan's free research.

She had no choice but to hand over the subject to specialized craftsmen and ask them to learn and explore on their own.

Gongsun Yan just planned to raise a batch of white-feathered chickens in large quantities to supply the farmers in the army, also known as Guzhu Manor, to have a stable source of meat.

Now the sergeants and soldiers of the army have changed from the original Duntunjing noodles to noodles and broken rice and dry rice, as well as the original self-produced tempeh of Guzhu Manor, which is distributed with minced meat sauce every seven days.

But this is just a tooth sacrifice, and it is impossible to reach the level where protein can be supplemented.

Not to mention that it meets what Gongsun Yan expects.

Gongsun Yan smiled and watched as the chickens were carried to the insulated room next door one by one, and the kang was also lit to maintain the temperature, and water and chicken feed were also prepared.

She seems to be able to foresee that after the chicken farm is built, batches of broilers will be slaughtered, which is cruel to chickens and beautiful to people.

"Little lady, what is this?"

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Zhou Xing could see at a glance the pros and cons of using the wall of fire to hatch eggs without a hen.

Although it is good to hatch chicks in large quantities in this way, it also consumes a lot of food and time.

Therefore, when Zhou Xing's heart was still measured by the breeding cycle and cost of traditional chickens, he did not care too much about these troublesome chicks.

But what surprised him even more was the new type of kang in the house.

At the suggestion of Gongsun Yan, he did not dislike it at all and touched the kang full of chicken manure and eggshells, and the warm kang made his eyes look different.

As Zhou Xing, who was born in the bitter cold of Youzhou, it is strange that the surrounding neighbors or villages did not freeze to death in which year.

Many families huddled in haystacks and slept alive, and the next day the corpses of their families were left behind, perhaps not found by neighbors or relatives until the beginning of spring when they stinked and rotted.

When Zhou Xing saw the fire wall of a large family, it was not without injustice.

But so what, Li Shuzhi is just an ant to those big families, a string of numbers that can provide labor.

However, the grandson lady in front of her is different!

Zhou Xing could use countless words to describe the characteristics of Gongsun Yan, but what impressed him the most was kindness.

Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, if this fire wall technology can be popularized in the village, in the face of the increasingly repeated cold climate in recent years, the situation of the village households being frozen to death can be reduced.

In this way, it can also attract more displaced people, just like the policies of rent reduction and new crops in the village.

Zhou Xing is a good man, and his first reaction is that such a thing can increase the survival of the banker.

However, his mind was confined to a village.

didn't take into account that he was about to go to Lulong County as the county governor.

What I think in my heart is still the plan for Guzhu Manor, hoping to absorb more displaced people.

His ideas are what most people think today.

After all, for countless years, local wealthy families have done this.

On the one hand, relying on power to obtain important official positions and seize privileges, on the other hand, with the help of these privileges to strengthen oneself and gain more and more stable positions.

Especially a wealthy family like the Gongsun family in Liaoxi, who has a world of 2,000 stones, has always done this.

"This thing is called a fire kang, and it will be popularized in the village in the future."

Gongsun Yan didn't know what Zhou Xing was thinking for the time being, otherwise he really didn't know whether to praise him for his loyalty or scold him for being a dog official, so he patiently explained to him.

"Thank you, little lady, for your kindness." The speculation in his heart was confirmed, and Zhou Xing was ecstatic in his heart, so many measures will make the village have abundant food and clothing in the coming year, and the people will be prosperous.

Seeing that his face was happy, Gongsun Yan only thought that he was kind in his heart, and bent down to pick up Gongsun Cheng, who was still reluctant to look at the chicken.

I thought that I would ask Zhao Xi, who was already familiar with the village, to find a puppy to raise for Gongsun Cheng in the village.
