Chapter 152 Delicious Big Plate Chicken
Since the renovation of the experimental field was completed, Yang He hastily brought his students and earthworm seedlings to Jintan Village to officially start a series of experiments on earthworm breeding.

Zhao Shucheng followed Yang He to learn how to raise earthworms, and most other people in the village watched the fun.Only Ma Defu's younger brother, Ma Debao, learned about the prospect of earthworm farming from his brother, so he brought his followers Shuiwang and Gawa to study together.

Although Li Dayou disliked Shuiwang and refused to work, he thought that if he could really earn money by farming earthworms, he would definitely follow suit, so he didn't stop his son from learning.

On the contrary, other people in the village did not have this kind of awareness. They felt that they could wait until they saw the results.

The earthworms brought by Yang He are different from the earthworms in the ordinary ground. The selected cultured earthworms are larger than the earthworms in the ground in terms of size and reproduction speed, and their economic value is higher.

"This kind of earthworm grows very fast, and it can be matured in two months. At that time, as long as the temperature and humidity meet the requirements, and the nutrition can keep up, it can reproduce once a month. In principle, one earthworm can multiply by a thousand. times."

"Earthworms are very convenient to raise. They are omnivorous organisms. In addition to keeping enough organic manure in the breeding materials, all rotting animals, plants, and fungi can be used as food, and they are not picky eaters at all."

"If you raise them carefully, you can often sprinkle some processed wheat straw, fruit and vegetable vines on the soil for them to eat. As long as you sprinkle water frequently, keep the soil moist, and clean up the residue in time, there will be no problem."

"If there are no conditions, in fact, some rotten fruits and vegetables and kitchen scraps will be better, but I have seen your conditions here, and I can only use straw or plant vines instead."

Zhao Shucheng nodded, and said, "That's right, we don't have rotten fruits and vegetables here at all. We all come from poverty, so there won't be such a waste of food."

After studying for a period of time, Zhao Shucheng finally knew that the cost of raising earthworms was really low. Except that cow and horse manure was required for the initial breeding feed, the rest would not cost much at all.

Besides, if you have money, there is a way to have money, and if you have no money, there is a way to have no money.Those who have money can build brick and tile ponds in their own homes, and those who have no money can only use their own air-dried manure and the like to raise them. After the earthworms enter the breeding season in the later stage, they can expand.

Zhao Shucheng suddenly thought of Ling Yinong teaching the villagers to grow Agaricus bisporus in the future. The culture medium he mentioned was also chicken dung and cow dung, etc. Maybe after the fungus is fully produced, the waste gas sticks can also be used as breeding materials for earthworms, which can be used many times. Utilization, there will not be any waste, avoiding the problem of improper disposal of bacteria sticks.

Of course, all this is still too early, and we can only wait until the Agaricus bisporus is successfully planted, and then use the fungus sticks to conduct experiments.

Yang He had a smile on his face during this time. He had discovered that Yuquanying or Jintan Village was really suitable for breeding earthworms.Although it looks like a desert here, the underground soil is very suitable for the growth of earthworms. Not to mention that there are not so many natural enemies, even some parasites are rare.

Although Yang He's breeding has only started for a few days, it can be seen from the comparison of previous data that the environment here is very suitable.

"Shucheng, I have to thank you. If you didn't let me come to this place to do experiments, I really couldn't find such a good soil quality. Although it is not clear why this place is more suitable for breeding earthworms, further analysis is needed, but the soil quality must be One important reason. This time I came to Yuquanying is really the right place, and the earthworm breeding project should be carried out in such a place.”

Zhao Shucheng is not surprised by this. In fact, earthworm breeding is not high or low for the environment.As long as the temperature and humidity problems are met, everything else is a small problem.

"Really? When will we see concrete results?"

Yang He happily dug out a few earthworms from the ground, and said, "Look, these earthworms, with their vigor and spirit, can eat and grow, and they will definitely mature and start multiplying in two months. Wait for a new batch of earthworms to grow." When it starts to grow, we can try the operation of raising chickens with earthworms."

"Now I have a feeling that time is not waiting for me. I just feel that my manpower is too small, and the number of earthworms before is not enough. If there are enough earthworms, I really want to try how many chickens can be raised by earthworms on an acre of land, especially You said that only earthworms are used to feed chickens. In this way, we can compare the difference between chickens that are fed only with earthworms and chickens that are fed with earthworms and feed, and even the difference between chickens that are fed only with feed without earthworms and the other two. "

"After three months, the vermicompost has accumulated almost the same amount. At that time, the experiment of vermicompost fertilizer field can be carried out at the same time. Now I feel that the number of earthworms is not enough. The truth is that they are mature now, so that they can enter the breeding period from today. The quantity It exploded."

Yang He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although he had many experimental fields, the number of earthworms in his hands was not enough. This has to be said to be a happy trouble.However, he is not too anxious. Now he has seen the hope of large-scale promotion. As long as this experiment is successful, it will usher in general application.

"Researcher Yang, don't worry, everything will be fine. We will have a bumper harvest in three months. Anyway, the number of earthworms is large, and the number of earthworms will be able to meet the needs of the experiment in a few months."

Zhao Shucheng comforted Yang He, and said: "We don't need to convene the control group you mentioned. Let's see if there is any obvious difference between the chickens fed with earthworms and the chickens fed without earthworms. When there are more chickens in the future, let's do the experiment again. Feeding only earthworms is different from feeding with mixed feed. Isn’t this also a comparison, when the chickens fed with pure feed will be just an addition.”

"Yes, yes, there is really no need to worry. I have been here for so many years, and I don't care about the time of one or two months."

Zhao Shucheng is full of confidence in the current earthworm farming, but his eyes have already moved away from earthworm farming, and he sees that the whole village and even Yuquan will start nourishing chickens in a few months.

Of course, the population in the village is small now, and most other places don’t even have wells, so the chicken raising business will not be on a large scale. Definitely want to solve the sales problem.

Zhao Shucheng turned to think about Yang and their meals, because Yang and his students were boys, so most of the time they ate potatoes and corn.Fortunately, when Ma Defu saw them eating, he felt that this was not appropriate, so he asked his mother to help Yang and them cook. This moved Yang and them so much that they could stay in Jintan Village.

In other words, this is the first year of Jintan Village, and everything will be fine after the harvest.

When Zhao Shucheng returned home, he saw Li Shuihua cooking, which seemed to be potatoes and steamed buns.

Although he went to the county town to buy a lot of food, Shui Hua was still very frugal, and he was reluctant to eat some meals at all, and he put a little bit of them in the stir-fry, just to have a taste.

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help being a little dazed while eating and thinking about raising chickens.

Shuihua saw it and asked curiously: "Yongfu, what are you thinking?"

"Uh, I'm thinking about what to do if we raise chickens in the future. I always feel that it is not cost-effective to simply sell the chickens. Our chickens are definitely different from other chickens. Our chickens grow up eating meat. The chickens raised by others are raised on a vegetarian diet.”

"If you are really reluctant to sell it, let's make it into a big plate chicken and open a shop to sell it. That's fine."

Zhao Shucheng also pretended that he didn't know how to cook at all, and couldn't help asking: "You said big plate chicken, do you know how to cook?"

Li Shuihua smiled unnaturally, and said: "I don't know how to do it, but Defu's mother can do it. Back then, every household in Ermen Village ate the poverty alleviation chicken, and Defu's made the most delicious."

Zhao Shucheng thought for a while and said: "Don't worry about it now. I will go to the county to have a look in a few days. If possible, we will find a place to open a shop and sell big chicken. Then let Defu's mother help us do it. Let's learn Make it yourself. If they want to open a shop, let them do it. This county can definitely accommodate two big chickens."

"That's fine, I'll tell my aunt in a few days, and let her teach me. But you can't be jealous."

Zhao Shucheng smiled, and said to Shuihua: "I won't be jealous, but what I said is in my head, you don't dare to flirt with Defu, or you will wait and see."

Three months passed, and the second phase of the experiment began.Before that, Zhao Shucheng bought a lot of chickens to raise, just to prepare for experiments.

Yang He began to divide the chickens into two groups, including big chickens, small chickens, local chickens and instant chickens.Fortunately, the grain in the ground has been harvested, so there is enough feed to feed the chickens.

The effect of feeding the chickens with earthworms is very obvious. At first, nothing can be seen, but after a week, there is a significant difference in the chicks. The chickens fed with earthworms are bigger than the chickens that are not fed with earthworms.Even the comparison of adult chickens is also obvious. The hens that are fed with earthworms lay more eggs than those that are not, and they are in good spirits.

The name of the village, who had made up their minds to watch the excitement at first, also noticed the difference. They thought it was a joke before, but when they saw the two groups of chickens for comparison, they all understood that raising chickens with earthworms might really be successful.

A month later, Zhao Shucheng was taking care of the earthworm breeding pond at his home, and Xiao Wang came and asked him to go to the experimental field.

"Xiao Wang, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, but the chickens raised by the Russians are too big. I'm going to kill a chicken and taste it. Is it better than ordinary chickens? Because you bought these chickens, so I let you taste them too. .”

Zhao Shucheng didn't expect Yang He to have the idea of ​​eating chicken. Of course, he also wanted to see if it would be more delicious, so he followed suit.

This time, it was Defu's mother who was in charge of the chef. The big plate chicken was cooked directly, and it was delicious.However, I made two pots of chicken. Although they are both large-plate chicken, the taste is obviously different, and one is more fragrant.

"This is for earthworms, isn't it?"

Yang He gave Defu's mother a thumbs up and said, "That's right, how did you taste it?"

"We have tasted the taste of native chicken before, but this one is obviously more fragrant, so I guessed that this is chicken fed by earthworms, and it seems to be true."

"Yes, that's right!"
