The straw that Zhou Ziwen asked the members to collect was originally dry.
Now just put it outside to dry in the sun and that's it.
The raw materials required for biological feed can be found everywhere.
Not to mention the production team, there are many even among the members themselves.
When the straw was almost dry, Zhou Ziwen arranged for someone to chop it into pieces and then grind it with a stone mill.
Compared with the crusher, the efficiency of the stone grinder is much slower, and it is not very easy to operate.
But under limited conditions, we can only make do with it temporarily.
While the members were making raw materials, Zhou Ziwen returned home and began to prepare the biological fermentation starter.
This is the most critical aspect of biological feed. Without biological starter, this feed cannot be made.
The raw materials of biological starter are not complicated, and Zhou Ziwen has prepared them in advance.
As a doctor, such a configuration in medical chemistry is not a problem for him.
When work was about to end, Zhou Ziwen’s biological starter was ready.
When he arrived at the mill in the village, the members had almost all the raw materials.
Zhou Ziwen moved more than three thousand kilograms of the first batch of feed.
More than three thousand kilograms of feed is enough to last for a while.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's do the rest of the work tomorrow!"
Seeing that it was time to finish work, Zhou Ziwen didn't want to waste everyone's time, so he asked the members to pack up their tools and go home.
Although the members were a little tired, they were very motivated.
People of this era are like this, they are willing to work hard when working.
After the members left, Zhou Ziwen also tidied up and went home.
At home, little Yueyue has woken up now, and Chen Qiaoyi is playing with her in the yard.
Little Yueyue is already three months old, but because of her good genes and her love for being active since she was a child, the little guy is very smart and has already begun to remember things.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen, little Yueyue had a bright smile on her face.
Stretched out two small hands from afar,
Stretched out two small hands from afar, and screamed happily twice, not sure if he was calling someone.
But when he heard his baby daughter's babbling voice, Zhou Ziwen felt very warm.
He quickened his pace and walked to little Yueyue and picked her up.
Zhou Ziwen lifted little Yueyue high and gently hugged her into his arms, with a happy smile on his face.
Little Yueyue was so amused that she giggled and kept waving her little hands and feet.
After playing with little Yueyue for a while, Chen Shiying also came back.
Zhou Ziwen was about to cook with her when Wu Dagang came over from outside.
"Ziwen, stop cooking. Go to my house today. Your aunt is already cooking."
Wu Dagang said.
"Uncle Wu is back, okay, then we won't cook."
Zhou Ziwen is not polite either. This is not the first time he has gone to Wu Dagang's house for dinner.
Especially after little Yueyue was born, Aunt Chen would let them come over for dinner from time to time.
It was said that he wanted to replenish Chen Qiaoyi's health, but he also liked little Yueyue and wanted to get closer to her.
Zhou Ziwen hugged little Yueyue and followed Wu Dagang to his home with Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the aroma of food.
Aunt Chen poked her head out of the kitchen, saw them coming, and said with a smile: "Come in and sit down, the meal will be ready soon."
After everyone sat down in the room, Mrs. Chen hugged little Yueyue, teased her, and kept saying: "Yueyue has grown taller again and is getting cuter and cuter."
< br>Little Yueyue didn’t recognize life and smiled happily in Aunt Chen’s arms.
After a while, the food was served. There were braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, stewed potatoes and a large bowl of egg soup. Although the meal was not particularly rich, it was pretty good for this era.
Everyone sat around the table and chatted while eating.
Wu Dagang first spoke: "Ziwen, today I went to ask President Fu. He said that there is a factory with several scrap crushers that can be sold to us at the price of scrap metal. Ask us Do you want it?”
"Okay! Then I'll take some time to take a look!" Zhou Ziwen said happily.
“But that’s a scrapped crusher. Is it useful for us to use it?” Wu Dagang was a little worried.
"If it works, I'll go see if it can be repaired first. If it can be repaired, I'll buy it back."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said.
“Can you repair machines?”
Wu Dagang was already a little numb to Zhou Ziwen.
He discovered that there seemed to be nothing Zhou Ziwen couldn't do.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, I also learned some relevant knowledge from reading books before, and with my own thinking, I should be able to fix some simple problems."
In fact, how could he know this? It's just that he has a hang-up panel and can hang up at any time.
After hearing this, Wu Dagang couldn't help but sigh: "Ziwen, you are such an amazing kid, you can do everything. If our village can have more talents like you, it will definitely develop faster."
Zhou Ziwen said modestly: "Uncle Wu, I am also constantly learning and trying. If we all work together, our village will definitely get better and better."
Everyone continued to chat while eating, and the topic always revolved around raising animals. Pig thing.
"Ziwen, do you think this white-haired pig is different from the pigs we usually raise?"
Wu Dagang asked, he was very curious about this new breed of pig.
Zhou Ziwen put down his chopsticks and replied seriously: "Uncle Wu, this Landrace pig is different from the pigs we usually raise."
"First of all, it's the color. We raise black pigs, which are white pigs. Then there's the growth rate. Generally speaking, it takes about a year for ordinary pigs to be slaughtered, while Landrace pigs can grow from half a year to eight months if the breeding conditions are suitable. It will be ready soon."
"Oh? It will be ready so soon?" Wu Dagang said in surprise.
“Yes, not only do they grow fast, but they are also large in size. Landrace piglets can usually grow to two hundred pounds in eight months.”
“Calculating this, We are raising pigs now and they will be ready for slaughter by the end of the year."
Zhou Ziwen said.
"Two hundred pounds?" Wu Dagang's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, two hundred pounds is still my conservative estimate. If it is raised well, the actual weight should be higher."
Wu Dagang was really shocked when he heard this number.
The pigs he raised before were considered good if they could grow to 120 kilograms in a year. He was very surprised that this Landrace pig could grow bigger in a shorter period of time.
“Ziwen, can this Landrace pig really grow so heavy?” Wu Dagang asked excitedly.
"Yes, Uncle Wu. But this kind of Landrace pig is not without its shortcomings. Its shortcoming is that it has more lean meat." Zhou Ziwen did not hide it in front of Wu Dagang.
"How much lean meat?" Upon hearing this, Wu Dagang frowned, but soon relaxed.
“As much lean meat as possible, as long as the weight is enough, we don’t have to eat it ourselves anyway, we can hand it over to the commune when the time comes!”
“Haha, Uncle Wu You're right." After hearing this, Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile. (End of this chapter)
