Let you refine Gu and use cockroaches for environmental management?

Chapter 142 Not enough for the chicks at all

"Earthworms? This thing is good. When I went to collect chicken seedlings before, I saw that some farmers with more flexible minds would use chicken manure to raise some earthworms to feed the chickens. And it's not just earthworms, there are also people who raise maggots."

Ye Tian's words seemed to open up Li Ming's thinking, he said happily.

Ye Tian was stunned, thought carefully for a moment, and gave up the idea of ​​raising maggots.

At least for now, there is no need for this. Earthworms and cockroaches are enough to handle the situation. Maggots simply cannot be as agile as the first two. It needs to be managed by someone.

"Brother Li, as for the feed, we have decided on earthworms and cockroaches for the time being. We will consider the rest after we get it right. When will our greenhouse be completed?"

"In the past two days, I only hired about a dozen workers. After the loan was settled yesterday, I increased the number of workers to more than 50. If the subsequent funds are in place, we can add more. It should not affect the progress."

"Well, what about the chicks?"

"This is more difficult to do, mainly because few people raise native chickens now because they grow too slowly. I feel like you said, if we want to breed on a large scale, I'm afraid we can only start with self-breeding. But this In terms of time, I’m really not sure how long it will take. During this period, I can only arrange to collect as many as people can. If we continue to collect these ten miles and eight villages, it is estimated that it will not be a big problem to reach [-] in a week, but if we continue to go up, it will be We have to go further.”

Ye Tian nodded: "As for the varieties, let's not be so stubborn for the time being. We can get more varieties and experiment. Then we can choose some with higher cost performance to expand breeding. And the so-called native chickens are just raised in different ways. , as long as we raise them from a young age, any chicken can become a native chicken.”

"It seems to be the same. I'm a bit over the top. Come to Xiaotian and I'll show you our current chick."

Li Ming's eyes lit up and he suddenly felt a lot more enlightened, and he led Ye Tian towards the forest.

Following the pace of the two people, the chickens in the forest did not seem to be frightened, but slowly surrounded the two people.

"You haven't been fed yet today?"

"Well, yesterday you said you were going to bring feed, so I asked the workers not to feed them. Otherwise, when they are full, these guys will run all over the forest and it will be difficult to gather them together.

Look, this is the most popular chicken we have now. Silky chicken is also the native chicken that most people recognize. Because this chicken has a long growth time, even if it uses feed, it is not easy to fake, so it is my focus to purchase. Basically, even chickens, they all cost between 5 yuan and 20 yuan each, some are big and some are small, the cost will be higher, but basically they have passed the most difficult initial stage of growth, as long as there is something to eat, will grow rapidly. "

"These are relatively small ones, namely white-feathered chickens and three-yellow chickens. There are about 100 of these two varieties each. They are relatively common breeds of feed chickens on the market now. They are sold quickly and can usually grow up in two or three months. As for whether they are good or not If you want to sell it, it depends on the effect of raising it."

"The last ten or so chickens are the Dongtao chickens we ate yesterday. After dinner last night, I went to the farm overnight and bought them back at a high price. They are basically more than a year old, and each one cost a few hundred dollars. piece."

Ye Tian looked in the direction Li Ming pointed.

Immediately, a dozen tall Dongtao chickens were discovered among the chickens.

These dozen or so chickens don't look too big, but the chicken feet stand out from the crowd. The chicken feet of each chicken are about the thickness of sausages, and the fleshy surface is full of wrinkles.

Other chickens were running around nimbly, but these dozen or so chickens barely moved, standing there blankly, only moving around occasionally.

It is probably because of this that their chicken feet develop differently.

"Brother Li, is there a name here?"

After observing all the chickens, Ye Tian suddenly said.

"Yes, brother, do you want to weigh yourself?"

"Well, I want to observe the growth of these chickens after using cockroach meat. We can compare it with specific numbers later."

"Yes, I'll get it now."

Li Ming said, and walked towards the car on the side of the road. After a while, he came back with a steel scale and a roll of netting used to surround the woods.

Ye Tian smiled slightly, as if he had guessed Li Ming's intention.

Helping Li Ming, he circled a small piece of forest land in the forest.

After making sure that the net was fixed and there were no loopholes, the two of them started grabbing the nearby chicks.

After working for a while, they finally caught all the chicks they needed.

More than a dozen Dongtao chickens were all observed. The weights of each were weighed, and they were basically around 3 kilograms.

Ye Tian selected 20 silky chickens, the smallest one weighing less than half a catty. The bigger one is about 2 pounds. Ten of the same.

There are also ten white-feathered chickens, three yellow chickens, and the like. They are all about half a catty.

All the samples were thrown into the small circle, and a path for the other party's materials in the greenhouse was sorted out so that a car could drive in.

Ye Tian drove the car to the edge of the forest.

The trunk opens.

Looking at the five large boxes full of stuff, Li Ming's face lit up with joy.

"Brother, how much cockroach meat is this?"

"About 1200 pounds."

"Okay, okay, so much, at least enough to feed you for several days."

"How many days? Brother Li, do you have any misunderstanding about my cockroach meat? That's it. I guess I can last for a morning at most."

"How could it be possible all morning? We are all young chicks. I made statistics two days ago and found that 3000 chickens can eat three to four hundred kilograms of feed in one day."

Ye Tian smiled slightly and didn't explain anything.

He reached out and lifted a box up.

Li Ming hurriedly reached out to help, but found that Ye Tian didn't need him at all. He walked towards the enclosed experimental circle with long, light steps.

Seeing how relaxed Ye Tian was, Li Ming also rolled up his sleeves and grabbed another box in front of him.

Unexpectedly, no matter how hard he tried, he could only move the box a small distance.

There was no way to pick it up.

When he looked back in surprise.

Ye Tian had already walked back empty-handed.

Then he clasped his hands, and the box he had just pulled was held in Ye Tian's arms.

"Damn, what's the situation?"

Surprised by Ye Tian's strength, Li Ming had no intention of helping.

He quickly followed Ye Tian.

Then his eyes widened.

"Xiaotian, did you pour in the whole box just now?"

"Well, if you're doing an experiment, you must have enough control."

"Keep them full...Xiaotian, this is not how chickens are fed. Giving too much at one time is not conducive to the chickens' eating. I have recently consulted many farm owners, and they all said that it is best to feed them regularly and quantitatively. Only by making the chickens feel hungry properly can they eat better. You only have about fifty chickens in total, and if you pour in more than 200 kilograms of cockroach meat, you must not overwhelm the chickens to death."

Li Ming looked panicked.

"It's okay, Brother Li. My cockroach meat is not comparable to ordinary feed. It will definitely not cause indigestion in the chickens. When we were there before, we were also worried about this, so we exercised some restraint." , but now that the food control is enough, I just want to see where their limits are."

"Is there really no problem?"

"No, but it would be best if you personally supervise the feeding of these chickens in the future. Don't let others know how much they eat in a day, so as not to shock the world."

"Is it so exaggerated? It's shocking."

When Ye Tian said this, Li Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Tian raised the corner of his mouth and without further explanation, he came to the chickens holding the box in his hand.

The lid opened and everything poured down. Puff puff!
The moment the cockroach meat hit the ground, the already hungry chickens all around flapped their wings and swarmed over.

Ye Tian took a few steps back.

The hill of cockroach meat was instantly covered up by the chicks.

Some chicks even wanted to fight in order to squeeze in.

Seeing this, Ye Tian quickly turned around and brought another box over.

But this time, it didn't tilt directly down.

Instead, it gradually retreated and shook the cockroach meat into a straight line.

In this way, many more chickens can eat cockroach meat at the same time.

Ye Tian followed the same method for the next two boxes.

Two more straight lines were piled on the ground.

Li Ming watched in stunned silence as Ye Tianzhen poured out all the cockroach meat. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

As time passed by every minute.

Li Ming's frown gradually began to relax and turned into a look of surprise.

He took out his phone and looked at it again. He couldn't help but swallowed.

"Xiaotian, they have been eating for half an hour!"

"Well, it seems that the chickens you collected are relatively healthy, Brother Li. It's a blessing to be able to eat them."

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, very pleased to see that his cockroach meat was so popular.

"Are we just watching? What if we really manage to survive? If something happens to these chicks, we won't be able to collect so many in a short time."

"You can't just watch like this. Brother Li, please turn on the faucet. Drinking more water will help their digestion."

Ye Tian thought for a while and said.

"Forehead……"

Li Ming's expression froze and he quickly filled the sink with water.

Return to Ye Tian again.

The chickens were still eating happily.

He turned a deaf ear to the sink he had just filled with water, as if he was afraid that the food would be eaten by other chickens when it was time to drink water.

Just like that, an hour passed.

In the open space outside the small circle, nearly a thousand kilograms of cockroach meat was pecked cleanly.

But all the chickens seemed to be unsatisfied, their claws kept scratching the ground, and they seemed to want to eat more.

After searching and finding that there was nothing left, their little eyes started to twitch, and they gathered around the small circle used for experiments and began to flutter around, as if they wanted to fly in.

Ye Tian quickly stepped forward and acted as if to drive him away.

After finally driving these chickens away, I turned back. Ye Tian discovered that Li Ming was just like the previous chicks.

He looked back and forth on the ground where the chickens were eating.

"Brother Li, what are you looking at? Did something fall?"

"No... no, Xiaotian, are you sure your box weighs more than 200 kilograms each?"

"Almost, I weighed it before."

"Then in that hour just now, our 3000 chickens ate a thousand kilograms of food?"

"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

"How old are they in total? How could they eat so much..."

Li Ming blinked his eyes, completely in disbelief.

"Well, to be precise, they can eat so much because we only have so much. Otherwise, they would definitely still be able to eat."

Ye Tian touched his chin and smiled.

"This……"

Li Ming swallowed. I don't know what to say anymore.

After a while, he lay down outside the experimental circle and looked at his watch again.

An hour and a half later, almost one-third of the cockroach meat in the small circle disappeared.

But those chicks were like convulsions and showed no signs of stopping.

Ye Tian had been observing for so long and lost his patience.

Although the experimental chickens kept eating, their speed seemed to be controlled, not too fast nor too slow. It means fighting a protracted war.

Naturally, he didn't have so much time to stare like this.

After packing the boxes and loading them back into the car, Ye Tian glanced at the chickens that were already walking leisurely in the woods, said hello to Li Ming, and drove back to the breeding farm.

In front of the garbage disposal plant at this moment.

Five or six sanitation trucks were already parked, and the iron boxes at the entrance of the warehouse were also filled with garbage and were being crushed.

"Brother Tian, ​​are you back? How are the chickens feeding?"

Zhang Liang and the old man asked quickly when they saw Ye Tian coming back.

"It's not bad. It took about an hour to eat all the cockroach meat and chickens I brought over. I feel like I can bring another cart over in the afternoon."

"It's so popular. It's not bad. I feel like my hometown needs to build a breeding farm."

"That's necessary, otherwise you won't have room to digest if there are too many cockroaches. How is the garbage disposal today?"

Ye Tian nodded and asked.

"Sister Bing sent a total of eight trucks. Each truck carries six tons. Now two trucks of garbage have been processed. But I just tried to adjust the time and found that cockroaches can handle a box of garbage in 8 minutes. . It’s 2 minutes faster than yesterday. It seems that the number of cockroaches inside has not been affected by us killing adult male cockroaches, but there are many more."

"That's for sure. After all, we haven't touched any female cockroaches so far. No matter how many male cockroaches we kill, it won't affect reproduction."

"That's right, Mr. Ye, I analyzed it based on yesterday's data. In the past few days, as long as you control the killing weight to three to five tons per day, it will not affect the small cockroaches. After four days, the number of adult cockroaches inside will not be affected. There will be an outbreak, reaching at least 10 tons per day."

The old man also spoke.

"Well, so time is very tight. I just communicated with Brother Li. The construction team he has hired to build the greenhouse is relatively large. I asked for a contact information and have made an appointment with him. I will come over later to see him. Once we get to the site, if there are no other problems, our first phase of the project will start directly.”

"Start construction immediately? Is there enough land?"

The old man glanced at the current venue with some hesitation.

Although it is much wider than before, it is still a bit difficult to build a building as big as a warehouse.
