Chapter 444 Chicken Farm
Jinniang saw her youngest son talking happily, and she was also happy. Soon, Chu Lizheng came in and called them to eat.
Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan took Nie Cimeng, Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu away, and after seeing Mao Yiming off, they went to find a place to raise chickens near Beigan Lake.
On the way, Jiang Xinyan told several people: "It takes about a hundred days for a native chicken raised on grain and cordyceps to grow to about three pounds from birth.
There is a kind of white-feathered chicken that takes less than thirty days from birth to weighing about three pounds.
This means that for the same chicken farm, if you choose local chickens, the annual output will be less than 10,000.
And if the chosen breed is white-feathered chickens, the minimum number of chickens that can be produced is nearly 13,000 in a year.
The extra three thousand are pure profit. There is no additional cost, you just need to hesitate when choosing a variety."
"Madam, where can I find the white-feathered chicken chicks?" Nie Cimeng is now in charge of everyone in the castle.
He pays special attention to the output of crops and livestock farms. Whether it is crops or raising animals, if you can produce high yields, you will make money.
Jiang Xinyan: "..." I only saw it on the Internet in my previous life, and she doesn't know what a white-feathered chicken is!
“If you think about it, we raise chickens for our own consumption, so we must choose local, free-range chickens!
I think chickens that have been raised for 100 days are just right for eating, but chickens that have been raised for 30 days are too scary."
"Madam is right, you must raise them for enough time before eating them. The chicks of white-feathered chickens are not the same, but they are raised in different ways."
"It must be raised in a different way. The time is too short. It shouldn't taste like chicken."
Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu echoed Jiang Xinyan and said that they had never heard that a chicken grew up in thirty days.
However, they have never raised chickens and do not understand how to operate a chicken farm: "Madam, we are going to raise a lot of chickens, how do you prepare a chicken farm?"
Jiang Xinyan was very lucky. She had visited other people's chicken farms in her previous life and knew a little bit about it. She could not blindly set up a chicken farm.
Then we will raise local free-range chickens. Generally speaking, site selection must be comprehensively considered, including area, terrain, soil, orientation, and epidemic prevention conditions.
Especially for natural disasters and environments conducive to epidemic prevention, the construction and application of breeding farms should follow the following principles.
Chicken farms should not be located in densely populated residential areas or concentrated places, places with frequent traffic, or near livestock and poultry trading places.
It is recommended to choose a remote place that can be reached by horse-drawn carriage. Such a place is less likely to be infected with epidemic diseases and is conducive to epidemic prevention.
Furthermore, the site should be in a high, dry, and well-drained place, such as near our Baigan Lake.
Just choose a high, dry place with a slight slope to the south or southeast, preferably in a mountainous area.
In hilly areas, you should choose a south slope with a slope of less than 20 degrees. This place has convenient drainage and sunlight, and is warm in winter and cool in summer.
It is best to have a fish pond on the site to facilitate sewage discharge, waste utilization and comprehensive management. Chicken droppings can also be fed to the fish.
Baigan Lake is now the largest source of drinking water for all the farms in our castle, so we cannot put chicken manure in it to raise fish.
Chu Lixuan listened to the whole process and finally concluded: "Then dry the billet on the hill south of the lake and use it to raise chickens, and then dig a fish pond at the foot of that hill."
"Please don't worry, my subordinates know about it and will take people there to dig fish ponds this afternoon." Wei Dabin accepted the order.
Chu Lixuan and the others traveled on horseback. Now there are a lot of horses in their castle, especially Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu, who have BMWs and prefer to travel on horseback.
It would take them three hours to walk to Baigan Lake, but using Qinggong would be faster than riding a horse.
There are people growing crops everywhere in the castle, and there is no need to leap in front of them, so it is better to travel on horseback, which is both majestic and trouble-free.
After choosing the address of the chicken farm, she planned it according to the chicken farm in Jiang Xinyan's memory, and then went back to eat.
When Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan walked into the dining room, the eldest princess and Jin Niang had already led Ji Yingjie to sit at the dining table.
"Xuan'er, Yan'er is back. We are preparing to eat. Have you washed your hands?" Jin Niang asked when she saw her eldest son and daughter-in-law coming back.
"Grandma, Master, Mom, let's wash our hands and get ready to eat." Jiang Xinyan greeted everyone.
"Princess Cui, this is a common meal, so don't pay too much attention to it. Let's sit together."
"Yingjie has met his eldest cousin and his eldest cousin-in-law." Cui Yingjie already knew through Chu Lixiang that his cousin, the former Marquis of Zhennan, was the owner of the castle.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Chu Lixiang didn't want to care about his brother and sister-in-law, he was particularly interested in what they were busy with during the day.
"Let's go see the chicken farm. We will raise many chickens in the future. If we want to eat chickens, we will kill them."
When Jiang Xinyan talks about eating chicken, her eyes and eyebrows are all smiles. She will get tired of eating pork every day!
"Wow! We can eat any chicken from now on! Sister-in-law, I really want to eat braised farm chicken, fried chicken with tea oil, and beggar's chicken..."
Chu Lixiang swallowed his saliva as he spoke. Cui Yingjie wanted to eat it so much. What kind of chicken were they?
He has lived in the capital for twenty-three years, and there is really no shortage of food. He also eats chicken often, but none of them is what this little cousin said!
He felt that the life here was full of flavor. There were only a few home-cooked dishes on the table, which were all delicious and delicious. He felt that they were extremely delicious just from the smell of the food before he even took it to his mouth.
"My cousin is having dinner, let me introduce the names of the dishes. The largest bowl of soup is pork ribs stewed with potatoes. This bowl is sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, green peppers fried in oil, cold beef, and the green vegetables are fried pumpkin vines."
After Chu Lixiang introduced the six dishes in one breath, he filled a bowl of soup and drank it gracefully.
Cui Yingjie has a smart mind. He imitates others and drinks a bowl of soup first. In fact, he prefers to eat first.
However, everyone drank the soup first, so he could only do as the Romans did. Looking at the braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs, Cui Yingjie couldn't help but drool.
"Brother Jie, you can have some vegetables with your soup." Jin Niang was still very concerned about her nephew.
"Yes! Cousin, you can eat whatever you want. These sweet and sour pork ribs are not meant for dinner." Chu Lixiang persuaded like a little adult.
"Master Tai, your favorite braised pork." Chu Lizheng took a chopstick of braised pork and gave it to Master Jinghui.
He had been following his master's wife to treat the wounded for the past two days. Chu Lizheng still admired his master's medical skills, although they were not as good as his elder sister-in-law's.
But compared to other doctors, he was countless times more powerful. Chu Lizheng and others received many admiring looks.
"Brother Zheng, do you want to change your career to study medicine with Master Jinghui again?" Jiang Xinyan teased him.
"Jinghui...Master Tai..."
