Chapter 319 The truth is revealed
Some people also find it strange that poultry is a living animal and can only be sold nearby and cannot be transported to distant places.
Moreover, when poultry dies in the summer, it quickly smells bad. No one can afford to spend money on dead poultry.
Someone was curious and asked.
Bai Chunsheng said leisurely: "Have you never eaten the duck and chicken products in our snack shop?"
"Eat it!"
“My family bought several kilograms during the Chinese New Year.”
"Yes, my family also bought three duck gift packages."
Food in ancient times was simple, and it can even be said that there were only a few things that made people feel delicious. For ordinary people, if they could eat enough and eat meat, it was delicious.
Snacks are generally pastries or preserves, so when Baijiabao Snack House opened, people were curious at first, and then were conquered by the variety and delicious snacks.
It doesn't matter if you don't have money. People in the upper and lower villages have money, so they are naturally willing to buy some snacks.
Zhou Yang has a large family, and he spent more than three taels of silver just buying duck products during the Chinese New Year.
Bai Chunsheng smiled: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
“Delicious!”
Bai Youfu stood aside and answered: "So, where do you think the raw materials for these duck and chicken products come from?"
When he said this, the people in the upper and lower villages reacted instantly.
I used to wonder where so many duck necks, duck paws, duck gizzards, duck wings, etc. came from, but now the truth is revealed.
"Okay, now that you know it, if the weather gets warmer in a few days, you can come and pick up the chickens and ducks."
With that said, Bai Youfu added: "Don't worry, I have very professional breeding experience and technology. As long as you raise them according to my teachings, the guaranteed slaughter rate will be more than 70 to 80%."
My aunt said that when walking outside, the persona is given by herself. Bai Youfu didn't feel guilty at all when he gave himself a high hat.
Although he had not had much contact with this area before, he had learned about it carefully with his aunt and aunt who were good at raising chickens and ducks in the village, and what he had learned from the video, he thought it would not be a big problem.
No, Bai Youfu's eyes became extremely determined when he thought of the village chief's instructions. He would not let his aunt down.
The number of people in Taohua Village is limited, and many things cannot be accessed by outsiders. The villagers can be said to be one person as three people, and they are all busy.
If Baitao hadn't strengthened the villagers' bodies before and mixed some elixirs and water for them from time to time, they probably wouldn't have been able to deal with so many things.
The upper village reported 5,000 chickens and 6,000 ducks, while the lower village reported fewer chickens and ducks, 4,000 and 5,500 respectively.
In the first attempt, people in the two villages did not dare to raise too many chickens and ducklings. After all, chickens and ducklings are not that easy to raise. When they are older, they need a lot of food.
This is because Taohua Village guarantees it. Otherwise, every household would be fine with at most one or twenty.
Knowing that they could buy piglets and calves, almost every household in the two villages bought two or three pigs, thinking that they would keep them for a year and that Laba would kill the pigs for the New Year.
Some families with many people may also raise one or two cows.
If there are many children at home, two or three baskets of pig grass will be cut by the children, which will be enough for a meal. As for the cows, they will be led out to let them graze for a whole morning, and then they will cut some grass and come back, which will provide the cows with enough food for the day.
Crops were planted in the fields, chickens, ducks, pigs and cows were gradually raised, and some people in the family were working in the Baijiapu caravan shop.
After the crops are harvested, the chickens and ducks are also sold to Taohua Village. The family's income is at least 12 or 8 taels, and it is difficult to live a good life.
These days, people in Upper Village and Lower Village always have smiles on their faces, and they rarely quarrel even if something happens.
There is a lot of work at home, so there is no time to waste.
In Baitao's words, once people are busy, especially when they are busy for a better life, they have no time to cause trouble.
Instead of buying chicks and ducklings directly from the mall, Baitao bought fertilized eggs and hatched them in an incubator.
So Bai Youfu started running to the incubator several times a day, spraying some water on the eggs and duck eggs in the incubator from time to time. In people's minds, chicks and ducklings are hatched by hens and ducks, so when Baitao asked Bai Youfu to lead people to install the incubator, the villagers were surprised for a while.
"Auntie, can these chickens and ducklings also be produced mechanized?"
Correction of the milky sound of White Peach: "It is mechanized hatching."
"With the development of technology to a certain extent, these are not problems. The incubator can simulate the appropriate temperature and hatch chicks and ducks better and faster."
Needless to say, Baitao said that the incubator was quickly installed, but everyone was also extremely curious about the chicks and ducklings hatched by the incubator.
Bai Youfu is in charge of this area and is full of expectations.
So, when the first chick hatched, Bai Youfu was as happy as his own wife giving birth.
"It's born, it's born..."
"The chicks are born."
he shouted as he rushed out of the incubator.
It also attracted some villagers.
"Really?"
"How many?"
"What color is it?"
Everyone spoke one after another.
Bai Youfu was stunned for a moment: "I, I just saw its head sticking out. I didn't even look at the color carefully."
With that said, he immediately turned around and returned to the incubation room.
More than ten minutes later, Bai Youfu carefully moved the more than 100 hatched chicks to the greenhouse next to the incubation room.
The newly born chicks are still adapting to the outside temperature. Although spring has begun, the weather is still a bit cold, so they have to be raised in a greenhouse for a few days.
Moreover, most of the chicks were unsteady when they hatched, trembling and swaying around. But looking at the group of furry little guys, Bai Youfu and others couldn't help but grin.
"I'll tell my aunt."
After saying that, the woman who managed the breeding area with Bai Youfu turned around and ran to Baitao's house.
Bai Youfu smiled, but when he thought of something, his smile soon stopped, and he quickly got up and went to the incubation room next door.
Not long after, Baitao came over.
Today she is wearing goose-yellow clothes with a rabbit fur collar, and she looks cute and adorable.
"Auntie~"
"Well, how many have been hatched?"
"Back to my aunt, the first batch came out with one hundred and seventy-three. Just now another batch came out. I haven't had time to count them yet. I guess there are three hundred."
Bai Youfu said, subconsciously looking at the incubation room next door, and said with some worry: "Auntie, all those coming out are chicks, but there is no movement over the duck eggs."
He just looked at it again, and there wasn't a single duck egg popping up.
"It's not surprising, ducks take a few days longer than chickens."
"Yes." Bai Youfu nodded obediently.
He actually knew that even though he was happy when he saw the chicks hatching, he was also worried about the situation with the duck eggs.
There is one more chapter, but it will be a little later
