Chapter 55 Farm Manager, I Want to Raise Chickens

"Don't worry, we'll show "Shaolin Temple" after this movie is finished." It's not the first time Xu Damao has done this, and he explained it very smoothly, "In recent years, every household has been raising chickens, and the county also attaches great importance to this This work, so our Cultural Bureau specially found Erdaowan Farm to shoot this film, to teach everyone how to raise chickens!"

Rural projectionists work very hard, but the remuneration is not high. In addition to salary, there is only a meager subsidy each time they go to the countryside. When Xu Damao first started working in the 70s, the subsidy for showing a movie was only [-] cents. Years have risen a little, still less than one.

If it weren't for the delicious food and drink served everywhere, and there were still things to take before leaving, Xu Damao would have thought about changing jobs a long time ago.

This time Li Lei asked them, the village projectionists, to help put the advertisements. He agreed in private that he would give two yuan for each advertisement, which was more than double the subsidy. He naturally put his heart into it.

Of course, it can't be said that it is advertising, and the Cultural Affairs Bureau also needs to save face, right?Moreover, policy risks have to be avoided, so there is the above rhetoric.

This is not an advertisement, but to guide the villagers to raise chickens scientifically. Well, let’s think of it as a simple science and education film, which sounds much better.

Li Lei will not object, anyway, what he wants is more people to know that the Erdaowan chicken farm has a supply of American fine-bred laying hens, and it may be more effective to do so.

The villagers became quiet after listening to it. Nowadays, entertainment activities are extremely scarce, and seeing chickens on the screen is considered a novelty, so they soon watched with relish.

"My dear, why do you raise so many chickens? How much does it cost?" When the whole picture of the chicken coop was presented in front of them, everyone was shocked.

"I'm afraid there are thousands of them?" Someone looked at the big screen and guessed.

Before the words fell, there was an explanation, "What you are seeing now is the Erdaowan Farm in Liushu Township, Heyang County. This farm has invested a total of 2 yuan and raised more than 1 Hailan layer hens imported from the United States. Only, it can lay nearly [-] eggs every day."

"It's impossible to lay one egg a day!" They are all from the village. Who doesn't have a few old hens that lay eggs?They know all too well how many eggs a hen can lay.

Soon, the voice of the narrator answered their doubts, "The Hailan laying hen is a high-tech fine-bred laying hen imported from the United States, with an annual egg production of more than 300."

"The American chicken is so powerful?" Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Then came a new question, "Will so many eggs laid every day be sold?"

As if guessing what they were thinking, the picture on the big screen changed again, and it was replaced by the Zhongzhou vegetable market. There was a long queue in front of the stalls of the Erdaowan Farm, and plates of eggs quickly passed from Handed out from the back of the booth, the eggs were piled up like a hill, and they were sold out in a short while.

The commentator's voice sounded again, "After the Hailan eggs were launched on the market, they were warmly welcomed by the people. Every day before twelve o'clock at noon, all the eggs were sold out. Many customers who had waited in line for a long time could only return disappointed. They We can only hope for tomorrow."

"In order to meet the needs of the people, the Erdaowan farm has now decided to provide Hailan laying hen chicks to the people of Heyang County, and promises to recycle the eggs at a high price. If you are interested, please go to the Erdaowan farm in Liushu Township to learn about the situation."

Finally, there is the address and route map of the farm. "After taking the shuttle bus to the street of Liushu Township, follow the road signs and walk two miles to arrive."

The road sign was also arranged by Li Lei. A piece of wood was painted with paint and an arrow was drawn to indicate how far it was to Erdaowan Chicken Farm.

The commercial ended and "Shaolin Temple" began to play. As the plot unfolded, most of the villagers were immersed in Jet Li's wonderful martial arts moves and the singing of "Daily Songshan Col".

But there are still some caring people who can no longer attend to watching movies at this time, and discuss with their family members about raising chickens in a low voice, "People are different from each other. Some people can pick two hundred catties of wheat, while others only It can pick up to [-] catties, so chickens are probably the same, otherwise, no matter how carefully we raise chickens, they can only lay dozens of eggs a year, and other chickens can only lay three hundred eggs at once!"

"I just want to go to Liushu Township the day after tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and grandpa. Then I will take two more steps to this Erdaowan farm to see what's going on. If it's true, I'll buy a few chickens and raise them. !"

"I just don't know if it's expensive or not. Is it easy to raise or not? What if I buy it and raise it to death?"

"How do you know if you don't look? After all, it's just a matter of walking a few steps, and you won't suffer if you walk more!"

Several projection teams were showing a few films, and almost everyone in Heyang knew about it, and Erdaowan Farm welcomed a large wave of consultants.

Li Lei had been prepared for a long time, and took them in for a visit first, "The American chickens are not difficult to raise, and they are not much different from the local chickens we used to raise."

"It's just that the feed is a little different. We have prepared it. You can buy some feed and bring it back, and mix it with cornmeal and wheat bran to feed it yourself! Of course, you don't need to buy it, but you will lay fewer eggs."

Li Lei not only wants to sell chicken chicks, but also plans to sell feed. After they see the benefits of advanced feed formula, they will not worry about being wanted.

"The price is not expensive, it costs two yuan each, and we collect the eggs for fifteen cents each. As long as you lay thirteen or four eggs, you can get back the cost, and the rest is pure profit!"

Now Li Lei sells eggs for one yuan, ninety-eight cents a catty, and eight eggs are almost a catty. At this price, recycling them and selling them in the city is still profitable.

"You don't need to send them all the way here. My brother will drive a tractor to collect eggs from village to village. Today Liushu Township, tomorrow Dawang Township, and the day after tomorrow Tun Township. You can make a round in ten days. Remember to go to the village. It’s time in our village, just take the eggs to the street to exchange money!”

Li Lei introduced Li Xinwang to everyone, and he will be in charge of collecting eggs everywhere in the future; hey, there is still a shortage of people, and when there are suitable people in the future, I will hand over this work to other people. Li Xinwang has more important tasks.

"Chicken Baby dies within three days after buying it, and we will replace it. If you get sick, we also sell medicine here! The details of how to use the medicine are all written on it, you just follow it when you go back!"

Li Lei also prepared a simple breeding technical manual for them, as long as they buy chicks, they will get a free copy. Even if they are illiterate, can they be taught by literate relatives?

After the speech, most of their doubts were dispelled, and they answered a few more questions. Immediately, someone said, "Director Li, I want to raise chickens. This time I will buy ten chickens and try it out. If they are raised well Yes, more later!"

Of course, some people think too much, a baby chicken costs two yuan, and an egg only costs fifteen cents, so why don't I wait for the chicken to lay an egg before incubating it myself?
