079 Exchange for high-yielding hen eggs
"Did you eat well?" Pei Qing smiled and watched Dongzhu gobble up, but he was thinking about the ingredients in his mind.
Don't look at the rich ingredients in the canteen of Ruiwangfu, but that is limited to Ruiwangfu, looking at the entire Xixian County, there are very few people who can eat meat and eggs every day, although everyone has a job now, and the salary is good, but because of the scarcity of meat, eggs and milk sources, the price of meat, eggs and milk in Xixian County is high.
Everyone has a lot of money in their hands, and they all want to eat something good, but ...... Mutton costs hundreds of dollars a pound, eggs cost several dollars a pound, and even disgusting pork costs nearly 100 yuan a pound.
Their most extravagant behavior is to go to the grocery store of Ruiwangfu to buy soap, although the soap in the former county is now one-fifth of the export price, but every time the people who come to buy soap pay for it, their hands are still shakingβit is a valuable item that costs as much as one or two silver.
In addition to buying daily necessities such as salt, cloth and soap, the wages received by the people of Xixian County were basically secretly hidden, for fear that one day they would have no money to spend, and they would buy fewer eggs and even less meat.
The caravan of the Huang family carried back and forth caravan was basically sent to the Ruiwang Mansion, and the people of the former county outside the Ruiwang Mansion were reluctant to buy mutton to eat.
- This is contrary to Pei Qing's original intention.
"I want to change the way people eat." She clicked on the system query, "What level have you recovered to now?" Can I exchange it for a living thing? I would like to exchange for high egg breeders and high broiler breeders. It would be better if it could be exchanged for high-yielding breeding pigs. β
The system quickly replied: [The system has been restored to 15%, and it can only be exchanged for small eggs, not live pigs]
Pei Qing quickly clapped: "Then exchange for eggs." β
According to the system prompt, she selected the eggs of Hailan brown high-yield laying hens and the eggs of gold medal white-feathered broilers, and was ready to arrange for incubation when they were exchanged.
To exchange the general equivalents she needed, she chose medicinal herbs unique to Xixian County.
In advance, I planned to exchange 1,000 eggs for breeders and broiler breeders, because there were no artificial incubation machines in this ancient world, so we had to do a small amount of experiments first, and then start a large batch of artificial incubation after the technology matured.
Finalizing this matter in his heart, Pei Qing became more and more cordial to Dongzhu, who was born as a nomad, staring at her day and night to learn the language, coupled with the buff of the system to improve people's intelligence, five days later, Dongzhu was able to talk to her simply.
At this time, Pei Qing found time to exchange the medicinal materials of Xixian County for two kinds of eggs, and burned the kang that had been plated in the past few days, and took Dongzhu to hatch these eggs according to the kang incubation method.
At first, Dongzhu didn't know what this princess was mysteriously doing with so many eggs, but when she learned that the chicks inside the eggs could lay more than 300 eggs in the future, she exploded.
"Hai Dongqing only has one nest of eggs a year, and there are only two nests in a nest, what kind of chicken are you, you can lay eggs all year round?" She was so dazzled that she suddenly felt as if she was facing a miracle, "Leave it to me, I must hatch the chick inside, I want to see how good it is!" β
Pei Qing gently told her that not only is the output of high-yield laying hens amazing, but another high-yield broiler is a delicacy that she can't imagine.
"When the autumn comes, there will be soybean oil available in Xixian County, and then we can use your hatched broiler chicken to make chicken cutlets, fried chicken legs, fried chicken wings, and fried chicken rice ...... Each one is crispy and crunchy on the outside, and the meat is very tender on the inside, which is more delicious than any kind of meat you have ever eaten in the Ruiwangfu canteen. β
The effect of these words is even more immediate than giving Dongzhu a hundred sheep, Dongzhu is like being beaten with chicken blood, staying in the kang incubator and not leaving, taking care of these eggs day and night, vowing to see the meat described by this god-like "princess Niangniang" as soon as possible.
There is such a Beiban girl in the Rui Wangfu, and the homework that can be seen by the naked eye will increase - every night, in addition to the ideological and moral class, the princess will also give everyone a "foreign language class" with the child.
Of course, there are those who are not interested in not coming to this kind of class, but surprisingly, there are many people who are interested, and most of them are young women, and they all want to master the language of the Northern Barbarians.
Because they have already learned from Ah Yun's mouth that they can become a translator by learning Beibarian dialect, and the translator's income is as high as ten taels of silver a day!
In this harmonious learning atmosphere, Dongzhu's Central Plains dialect entered the country quickly, and when the first little chick broke the shell, she was already able to talk fluently with others.
These days, in addition to eating and taking "foreign language" classes, Dongzhu has been carefully taking care of the eggs, and when the eggshells are broken and the chickens inside are chirping and popping out, she feels happier than the chicken girl.
But what puzzled Dongzhu was that nearly a hundred of the 1,000 eggs did not move, why is this? Aren't these chickens that can give birth to chickens like Hai Dongqing, who have chickens in every egg?
At this time, Pei Qing naturally stuffed the "Egg Incubation Manual" to her, telling her that she could ask at any time if she didn't know the words in it, and then she said: "According to the description in the manual, the hatching rate of breeding eggs cannot reach 100%, and it is already a high hatching rate for a thousand eggs to hatch 900 chicks, and half of them are roosters that do not lay eggs?" β
The latter sentence is tantamount to giving Dongzhu a critical blow.
"Ah, yes...... Is it? There are so many chickens, and only half of them can lay eggs? She was about to cry, she was tired and irritable after twenty-one days of hard work, and now when she heard the "bad news", she was so desperate that she wanted to smash things.
Pei Qing hurriedly smoothed the child's hair: "Don't worry, don't worry, life will always be divided into male and female, this is God's will, can you replace God to give orders?" No, so you'll have to think about it from a different perspective. β
Dongzhu looked at her with a puzzled frown, now she also wanted to snatch this princess back to the tribe and let her be her sister-in-law, but she wanted to understand the mystery related to "hatching", for this, she could postpone her plan.
Pei Qing'an chuckled steadily: "Although there are less than five hundred hens this time, you have to understand that each breeding hen lays more than three hundred eggs a year, and each egg has the potential to hatch into new chicks, in other words, the five hundred hens you artificially hatched this time will become 150,000 new chicks in a year." β
Thump.
After listening to the analysis of "Princess Niangniang", Dongzhu fell down in a daze.
