565 feeding chickens and pigs is also a big project
Lin He and Chun Tao went around the mountain, and they all went to see the families that hatched the chicks first.
Lin He wants the chicks to have a high survival rate, so naturally he will go to see those chicks every once in a while.
Others only think that Lin He attaches great importance to these little chicks, but they don't know that Lin He is just simple and wants to give the little chicks a little aura.
Of course, this is indeed important.
The two went around the mountain, took the ox cart that passed by, and went to the chicken pen together.
Many people who got the news rushed to the chicken pen with half-sized chicken offal, which was convenient for Lin He, just take a look here, and there was no need to run around.
While others were busy, Lin He took Chun Tao to take a walk around the breeding area.
The chicken pen and the rabbit house are next to each other, and even the places where they rest, are next to each other.
The pigsty is on the other side, near the hillside where the cattle are raised, and the pigsty is covered a little slower, after all, it is necessary to lay the foundation and dig a manure pit, and the area is not small, and the first layer is only up at this time.
However, you can already start to find someone to book piglets, book in advance, leave some sows not castrated, and raise a breeding pig when the time comes, you can breed at home by yourself, and you don't need to go to someone else's house to buy piglets.
The main thing is trouble.
According to Lin He's preset, it is no problem to raise four or five hundred pigs in this pigsty of their family.
When the time comes, don't say kill one pig in two or three days, you can kill one pig a day, and you can eat the best pork all year round.
Of course, the premise is to raise it first, which will have to wait at least a year.
Under the premise of no feed fattening, pigs grow slowly, and this kind of native black pig, with the advantages of tight meat and rich meat aroma, grows slower.
Thinking of this, Lin He stared at the pigsty thoughtfully: "Chun Tao, I forgot to ask before, the princess is in the city, is there a restaurant?" ”
If there is a restaurant, it is still very good to feed the pigs in swill.
As for what heavy oil, heavy salt and heavy metals, hehe, I really think it's the heavily polluted modern society in the previous life, and few people can eat heavy oil and heavy salt, and they still want to feed pigs to eat these.
"Yes, the princess seems to have two restaurants in the capital, I heard that the business has been very good, madam, do you want to feed the pigs with swill? I've heard that many people went to the city to fetch swill to feed the pigs, and some people fought over it. ”
It's not a secret that swill feeds pigs, and Chun Tao naturally knows it.
"Yes, next time I tell Jinrong, it's best to contact a few tofu factories, breweries, etc., such a big pigsty, if you raise it all, you can eat a lot."
It is impossible to feed the pigs with whole grains, and if she feeds them to the pigs, she is afraid that someone will break her back, even if she grows it herself.
But the pigs are raised too much, feeding the pigs is the biggest trouble, this is not, not only the sweet potato vines that were cut before, all of them were chopped up and dried, and they were fed to the pigs after they were saved, and even the sweet potato stalks were not willing to be thrown away, and they were also dried.
Don't look at the dried grass like dry grass, when the time comes, add water, mixed with wheat bran, vegetable leaves, etc., and feed the pigs very well.
Not only sweet potato leaves, but even the sake lees of winemaking, Lin He also said hello in advance, dried and stored, and fed to pigs later.
More than 1,000 acres of sweet potatoes, presumably for a while, will not lack rations for pigs.
More than 1,000 acres......
Lin He calculated it in his heart.
Now there are more than 2,000 acres, 500 acres of herbs are planted, and nearly 2,000 acres are left, and less than 10 acres are used to raise chickens and pigs, which is nothing at all for these 2,000 acres.
Even if you raise 500 pigs, that is, raise one pig on an average of four acres of land, it doesn't seem that there will be a shortage of pig food.
However, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc., also need to be fed, if you add hundreds of acres of sweet potatoes, plus swill, distiller's lees, bean dregs, etc., it should be much worse.
After calculating it clearly, Lin He was relieved, it seemed that five hundred pigs could still be raised.
Of course, at this time and a half, it is estimated that there will be no 500 piglets, and when the time comes, at least a dozen sows will have to be raised by themselves, otherwise all of them will go to the surrounding farmers to buy, how can others buy them?
Self-produced and self-sold is the best.
"Ma'am, is it true that the rabbit is kept in the ground like this? Rabbits can make holes, what should I do if I run away? ”
When Lin He was calculating in his heart, Chun Tao pulled Lin He's sleeve and looked at the rabbit house with some concern.
The rabbit hut is very simple, it is an ordinary grass shed, but in order to prevent rain and moisture, the ground is crossed with two layers of bamboo, which is directly divided into two, and then buckled on the ground and spread side by side.
With two layers of bamboo, and then a lot of hay thrown on top, not only can you eat it, but you can also make a nest.
There is a simple grass hut above, and the chicken pen next to it is similar, except that there are more chicken nests for laying eggs than rabbits, and there are many bamboo poles that have been born.
After all, many chickens sleep directly on the stump, which saves space.
In the same way, the chicken pen and the rabbit house are directly enclosed in a piece of land, which has been sprinkled with drought-resistant grass seeds before, and now it has grown some, green and beautiful.
In addition, there is also a vacant land on the chicken pen side, about four or five acres, which is about the same size as the chicken side.
This will be used later.
The destructive power of chickens is not small, especially chicken manure, which has a certain corrosiveness, and the place where chickens are raised for a long time will become barren.
But the chicken manure after fermentation is also a good manure.
Anyway, the area is so large, so Lin He plans to change it every six months, and the place where the chickens were raised before will be re-cultivated to ferment the chicken manure, and he can also plant a grain with a short crop time, or cabbage and radish.
But Chun Tao doesn't care about this, what Chun Tao is worried about is that the rabbit uses ordinary bamboo outside to surround a fence, whether it is gnawed by the rabbit or directly to the ground to make a hole, you can easily escape.
If this runs, it won't be worth it.
This one hasn't been raised, and Chun Tao is already worried.
Lin He didn't care: "It's okay, I won't run, some stones will be built inside and outside the fence to reinforce it, and the rabbit won't escape easily." ”
Of course, in fact, the laying of stones is just a cover.
What really allows the rabbit not to leave is Lin He's spiritual power.
After she uses her spiritual power to nourish her, the rabbits will become more docile, plus there is ready-made food every day, where will she want to escape the geese.
Lin He comforted Chun Tao a few times, and then asked about another thing.
"Chun Tao, did you say before that there is a Li Ji spicy rabbit head? Their family also raises their own rabbits? ”
Chun Tao pointed in a direction: "Yes, it doesn't seem to be far from us, and it will take about half an hour to get there." (End of chapter)
