Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

"Eighty hens only lay a dozen eggs, which is a bit too few. Fortunately, we have a greenhouse. If it were freezing cold outside, they would have stopped laying eggs. We can put them in the incubator in a few days. It seems that it won't be that difficult to grow to two thousand." Xiaoyan muttered to herself and started to get busy.

It is really very worry-free to feed a hundred chickens. It is almost a simple task. Feed the chickens with feed in the morning and evening. Just put the feed in the feed bucket. Keep the water in the bucket clean. Generally, add water once a day. Feed the chickens until they are 60% full, and leave the remaining 20% ​​for grass and vegetables.

As for green grass and vegetables, there is nothing outside at this time. If there is a greenhouse for harvesting vegetables, you can ride an electric tricycle to get some leftovers, but there are skills. Turkeys don't eat all vegetables. For example, spinach has a lot of oxalic acid, so it is not suitable for turkeys to eat too much.

Xiaoyan read the breeding instructions again and again and wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was hot in the shed, about 20 degrees Celsius. Once she went out, it would be minus ten degrees Celsius. The temperature difference of nearly 30 degrees was very easy to catch a cold.

There happened to be a cabbage greenhouse being harvested, and there were dozens of cabbages that were badly bitten by insects, so they were all pulled back.

There were kitchen knives and a table in the tool shed at the entrance of the greenhouse. I used the kitchen knives to chop the food into pieces, divided it into several troughs, and placed it on the ground.

The turkeys swarmed over and fought for the delicious food.

Since it was the first day at work, Li Xiaofei was still a little worried, so he came to check on her again in the afternoon.

I saw Xiaoyan lying on a chair and humming a little song out of boredom. The turkeys, after eating and drinking their fill, began to dig holes in the mud and take sand baths.

"How was your first day at work?"

"I feel that my boss overpaid me. It takes ten minutes to feed and add water in the morning. It takes no more than 20 minutes to feed and pull vegetables at noon. I can't be fed too full at night, and I can't work for long. In short, it's very easy. I would have started working earlier if I had known."

Li Xiaofei chuckled, "Farming is easy once you get used to it, but it's not as easy as you say. The main reason is that there are only a few chicks now. If there are 2,000 chicks, collecting eggs, cleaning feces, feeding, watering, and grass every day are all very time-consuming tasks. There is also brooding. The newly hatched chicks need to live in the brooding shed and need careful care."

"It's okay. It's just work. I'm not afraid." Xiaoyan performed very well and it seemed that she really wanted to create a career.

The winter in Changbai Mountain is long, so construction can only begin in spring. It is estimated that in three or four months, the turkeys will lay enough eggs to hatch two thousand chicks. With normal feeding and appropriate increase in light at night, thirty to forty eggs a day are guaranteed.

Using a small incubator to hatch in batches, the hatching rate is at least 70%.

By next autumn, when we have 2,000 laying hens, we won’t have to worry about the number anymore. The number of eggs will be large, and when they are large enough, they can be sent to a hatchery for incubation using professional equipment. The number will increase exponentially, and we will be able to build three egg farms next year.

In the year after next, we will be able to develop a large number of breeders, and it will only take three years to reach the scale of hatching 200,000 turkeys annually.

Of course, Liu Xia Lian probably won't allow it to develop so much. As an introduced chicken breed, turkey has a less acceptable taste than ordinary chicken.

However, the poverty alleviation effect of turkeys is very obvious. Generally, a family can raise one male and three female turkeys. The hens can hatch a nest of chicks by themselves in the autumn of the same year or the spring of the following year. The price of turkey eggs is almost the same as that of goose eggs. A six-month-old male turkey weighs about 20 kilograms, and a female turkey weighs about 10 kilograms. The current market price is one yuan per kilogram, and the economic benefits are very significant.

Entering November, as the cold weather intensified, the kimchi factory had stopped large-scale production, and both production and sales slowed down. Hundreds of trucks and large tractors also went south to Shimenzhuang or Linyi to find work because of difficult roads and snow.

On this day, another batch of 300 two-year students graduated from Baishan Martial Arts School in the provincial capital. These people are not young. When they were recruited, they were all 17 or 18 years old, and now they are all 20 years old. They nominally learned Sanda, and their major was cooking. Some learned Northeastern cuisine, some learned Shandong cuisine, and some learned Sichuan cuisine.

Among the 300 students, two became famous and joined the Baishan Martial Arts School Sanda Team, winning prizes in national competitions and bringing honor to the school. However, many students could not make a living by Sanda, and after returning home, they opened their own restaurants or worked in other people's restaurants.

Liu Xialian and Principal Guo handed out graduation certificates and chef certificates to the students one by one. Thirty percent of the students who were good at cooking had signed contracts with the restaurant managed by Xu Shiba. After graduation, they were promoted to full-time chefs after two months of internship. However, more of them went to work in the canteens of government agencies and enterprises, or to be bosses of private restaurants. Of course, some people became their own bosses.

As they were about to leave school, Liu Xialian arranged for everyone: "Students, graduation is not the end of learning, but the beginning of learning. Whether it is martial arts, cooking, or driving, lifelong learning is required. You can learn until you die. The school can only give you an introduction, and you need to study many things on your own. We are about to leave, and I have a few requirements that I hope you can do: First, never let go of your boxing. Take out half an hour or an hour every day to practice boxing. If you persist in doing so for a long time, your physical fitness will be greatly improved. Second, if you start your own business and open a martial arts school or a restaurant, you must uphold the spirit of integrity and make the business last for a long time. If I find that a student is cheating, I will be the first to send him to reform. Third, any student who opens a restaurant by himself should have three meals with his alumni when they are in trouble. Fourth, for students who are self-employed, remember to come back if you can't find a job for more than three months. The school will arrange a job for you. Even if the job is not ideal, do it first and change jobs when you find a better one."

Everyone applauded, and some of those with shallow eyes began to cry.

The bus drove in and took the students to their respective destinations.

After several years of development, Baishan Martial Arts School has two campuses in the county and provincial capital, enrolling up to 6,000 students each year.

Each student has to pay between 300 and 500 RMB per year. The tuition is not low, but you can learn a lot. Martial arts, free fighting, boxing. And general car driving is a must-learn subject, and they use small cars for teaching, which is unthinkable in other schools.

The school also has many high-paying employment programs, such as skilled chefs, excavator majors, agricultural machinery masters, and car driving.

Every year, hundreds of outstanding students enlist from schools and become elite soldiers in the team.

The graduating students left on the bus, and the teachers who saw them off went their separate ways.

Zhao Daxi seemed a little absent-minded, so Liu Xialian came over and asked, "Daxi, what's going on? Are you worried?"

"What can I think about? The grain and oil factory has reached a bottleneck recently. It can only continue. It is difficult to develop further."
