Chapter 79 Wuhe Breeding Base
Hearing what the shopping guide surnamed Chen said, Qin Lang blinked, and subconsciously looked at Fu Guan who was aside.

"This guy's name is Chen Kai." Fu Guan glared at Chen Kai who pushed himself away angrily, and introduced himself, "The only Wuhe phoenix chicken breeding base in Dongxia City is opened by his family."

"He didn't lie. Although the ones he sells are good, there must be better ones in his breeding base."

"Since it's a competition, the ingredients must be as good as possible. You may consider visiting the breeding base."

Qin Lang nodded thoughtfully.

There is no need for Fu Guan to lie to himself, so this shopping guide named Chen Kai is still reliable.

Go to the breeding base to see?
Sounds like a good idea.

"Brother Chen, where is your family's breeding base? Can I go in and have a look?"

"The breeding base is not far from here, and it will take a few kilometers to take a taxi." Chen Kai chuckled, "I can't get away here, but it doesn't matter, the breeding base is taken care of by my dad."

"If you're going, I'll tell him in advance, and you can go in when you get there."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Chen." Qin Lang said politely.

"Small idea!"

After chatting for a few more words, Qin Lang got the address provided by Chen Kai, took a taxi and went straight to Chen Kai's breeding base.

The breeding base is named Wuhe.

It is said that Chen Kai's ancestors came from Wuhe Prefecture. After settling in Dongxia City, he occasionally missed his hometown, so he introduced chicken breeds from his hometown to Dongxia City, and the name of the breeding base came from this.

Soon, Qin Lang arrived at the farm.

With Chen Kai's greeting in advance, he did not encounter any obstacles when he entered the interior.

Soon, a man with gray hair came up to meet him, "Is it Qin Lang's little brother?"

"Hello, Uncle Chen."

Qin Lang nodded and looked at the owner of Wuhe Breeding Base, Chen Kai's father, Chen Ming.

"Little Kai told me the purpose of your visit." Chen Ming said cheerfully, "Shall I show you around our breeding base first?"

"Okay." Qin Lang nodded.

Although there are only two days left to prepare for the event, it is also very important for a chef to understand the habits of ingredients, so Qin Lang doesn't mind spending some time on this.

"Come on, this is our incubation center." Chen Ming led Qin Lang, and quickly walked to a nearby flat-story building with a large area.

The building is divided into different compartments, and each compartment has a warm halo faintly leaking through the cracks in the door.

Chen Ming pointed to the label on the door of a nearby compartment, "The eggs in this compartment were all laid eleven days ago."

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the labels of other compartments, "The eggs collected in the hatching center are sorted and placed in different compartments according to the collection time."

"In this way, we can adjust the incubation temperature on a daily basis to keep eggs at different stages in the best incubation state."

"Do eggs need different temperatures at different incubation periods?" Qin Lang showed a look of surprise.

It was the first time he had heard such a statement.

"The temperature difference is actually not that big, and the up and down fluctuations will not exceed one degree." Chen Ming explained with a smile, "But if we adjust according to the incubation temperature change curve we summarized, the health status of the hatched chickens will be significantly improved."

"I've learned a lot." Qin Lang had a feeling of ignorance.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look."

As Chen Ming opened the door, the light generated by the warm light in the compartment radiated outward.

Qin Lang and Dan Bao hurriedly followed, and entered the interior of the compartment facing the warm light.

Incubation racks appeared in front of them one by one.

There are hatching eggs placed on these incubating racks. These eggs are separated from each other, and each egg is illuminated by the warm light above and below without dead ends.

The diffused halos of the warm light interweave with each other, making the entire compartment shrouded in warm light.

There are also various testing instruments on the side to detect the indoor temperature and the state of each egg in real time.

It is the first time Qin Lang has seen a breeding base where the hatching process of eggs is so precise.

Danbao stared wide-eyed and leaned over the insulating glass cover outside the incubator, carefully watching the eggs stand upright one by one, and in the warm light, the chicken embryos inside could be vaguely seen.

There are so many eggs here!
"Egg baby?"

Qin Lang's call brought it back to his senses, and Dan Bao noticed that Qin Lang and Chen Ming were going to the next place.

It reluctantly looked at the rows of eggs here, and then quickly followed.

Chicken centralized cage breeding area, breeder chicken mating area, broiler slaughter processing area...

Under the leadership of Chen Ming, Qin Lang visited the various sub-districts of the Wuhe breeding base, and finally came to the final location of his trip.

Free-range breeding area for adult chickens.

"Phoenix-tailed chicken is not a complete breed of broiler chicken, so the growth cycle is a little longer." Chen Ming introduced while opening the guardrail door, "The period between three and five months is the best quality of chicken."

"In the adult chicken free-range area, there are all phoenix chickens at this stage."

"In order to simulate the natural conditions of Wuhe Prefecture, our breeding base, we deliberately chose a location close to a tributary of the Xiayun River, so that the phoenix-tailed chickens can be free-range by the river..." Chen Ming said halfway, and suddenly pointed , "Look over there."

Qin Lang turned his head and looked, just in time to see a phoenix-tailed chicken with light brown feathers and slender and gorgeous tail feathers gliding from the other side of the river, Shi Shiran landed on the side of the river bank, and then swaggered around.

"This chicken can fly, and there is a wide range of free-range breeding." Chen Ming laughed, "You can start picking, the chickens here are up to you to choose!"

"Let me see." Qin Lang nodded, and walked towards a group of phoenix-tailed chickens walking by the river.

During the visit just now, he learned something about the habits of Wuhe Phoenix-tailed Chicken.

Combined with the common sense of choosing birds, Qin Lang felt that he could choose the one he liked the most.

There are hundreds of phoenix-tailed chickens in this free-range chicken breeding area, but it didn't take long for Qin Lang to lock on one of them.

Because it is so conspicuous.

That phoenix-tailed chicken had longer and slender tail feathers than the other phoenix-tailed chickens, and its body was also quite a bit bigger.

It stood quietly on the branch of a tree, its eyes calmly scanning the same kind below.

That posture is like the king of chickens overlooking his subjects.

The most important thing is that the front breast of that Phoenix-tailed chicken is high and straight, compared with other Phoenix-tailed chickens, it is like the gap between a macho and a thin dog.

"Uncle Chen, that..." Qin Lang couldn't help pointing to the phoenix-tailed chicken.

"I have good eyesight, and I fell in love with my chicken king at a glance." Chen Ming smiled brightly, "This anchovy chicken is the one that flies the highest in the free-range area, and it almost flew out of the free-range area several times. gone."

"For it, we specially raised the fence in the free-range area!"

"You want to take away the chicken king, I have no objection."

"But I can't catch it for a while, or...you try?"

Qin Lang glanced at Danbao, his face was a little eager to try.

"it is good!"
