Chapter 187 Scientific Chicken Raising

“Scientific chicken farming?”

Lan Yi and Yang Zhengxin both looked at Lan Xin in confusion.

They know the science; they've heard about it on the radio. They also understand raising chickens; they raise them at home.

But how does this relate to scientific chicken farming?

How can something as profound as science be related to raising chickens?

In fact, Lan Xin doesn’t know much about agricultural breeding, but she can still talk about it roughly.

After all, scientific chicken farming, scientific pig farming, scientific fish farming, and scientific cattle and horse farming are all about eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating, but they are refined according to the circumstances.

"Actually, I don't really understand it. Scientific chicken farming is probably about things like breed selection, breeding environment, management, disease prevention and treatment, etc. It's about integrating all the things you need to do in your daily life to find the most suitable one?"

Seeing that Lan Yi and Yang Zhengxin still didn't understand, Lan Xin thought for a moment and gave them an example; "For example, when choosing chicks, you can't just go to whichever store has the cheapest chicks. You have to choose chicks based on whether you want to raise chickens for eating or laying eggs, and where you raise them."

Lan Xin had been to their chicken farm before. Half of the hill was covered by their chicken farm, but the chicken breeds were not uniform. But Yang Zhengxin and his friends didn't care. Anyway, no matter whether they were meat-eaters or egg-laying chickens, they all laid eggs for him.

Isn't this just messing around?

"As for the feed, it has to be fed according to the weather, the size of the chicken, and the time of year to ensure that the fattest chickens are raised in the shortest time with the least amount of feed. You can also add some herbs or antibiotics to the food to improve the chicken's physique and reduce the occurrence of chicken plague, etc...."

The capitalists’ routines are all similar, but it must be said that such profits can indeed be maximized.

Lan Yi and Yang Zhengxin were fascinated by what they heard and wanted to engrave all these things in their minds.

"Sis, is there anything else?"

"As I said at the beginning, I am not a professional chicken farmer. You need to understand and learn these things on your own. I can only give you a general direction."

Such a small amount of content was enough to empty Lan Xin's stomach. She had only been exposed to this for the past two months, so how could she possibly tell you everything?

Lan Yi and Yang Zhengxin nodded and agreed with Lan Xin's suggestion.

This scientific chicken farming seems to be very feasible. According to Lan Xin, one can spend the least amount of money and raise the fattest chickens that lay the most eggs. The two were very excited.

I can't wait to learn it.

"I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and the flea market to see if there are any books for sale." Lan Yi said seriously.

Yang Zhengxin followed up by saying, “Then I’ll write to my teammates and ask if they have any capable people.”

Hearing what they said, Lan Xin touched her chin and lamented that these books seemed hard to find these days. Suddenly she thought of something.

"Oh yeah, you can also go to the university and find some students or teachers in the Department of Agriculture to ask about the situation, and pay for some guidance or something."

"Hey, this, this, they are college students, and we are just peasants raising chickens. Will they pay attention to us?" Lan Yi asked. She was not quite brave enough to follow Lan Xin's suggestion and go to the university to look for someone.

"Besides, they are students. How can they understand raising chickens?"

"Why don't you care? He is learning how to raise chickens and plant crops scientifically. Besides, he is a college student and he is eager for you to find him."

"If we don't ask them, how can they practice their studies and add luster to their student resumes? And there are many kind-hearted people who will be happy to use their knowledge to help you. Besides, we are not asking them for help in vain, we can give them some salary or something."

Lan Xin persuaded Lan Yi and the others in every way, and they felt relieved. However, they still did not dare to go to these college students. They thought, why not find a book to read first, or ask the elderly.

Lan Xin's words were like a bright lamp that lit up a path for them, helping them find the way forward.

……

As soon as the fresh eggs arrived, the familiar aroma of tea eggs wafted through Lan Xin's house the next morning.

When Ma Cuihua heard that she could return to work today, she came over early with a smile on her face to help. She rolled up her trouser legs and started washing eggs, humming a song as she washed.

"Oh, why are you humming a song?" Lan Xin asked Ma Cuihua who was smiling.

"Hey, I'm happy to start work." After hearing Lan Xin's words, Ma Cuihua smiled embarrassedly.

She had been busy at home these days and was so worried, fearing that the work would be gone after only two days. Fortunately, Lan Xin called her back to continue working, so Ma Cuihua was of course happy.

"Okay, then do it well." Lan Xin said with a smile.

Soon other people came over to help, all with smiles on their faces, looking forward to starting work today.

Lan Xin felt that Li Xia was a little weird. When she met Lan Xin's eyes, her eyes flickered and she quickly looked away.

"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Um...it's okay, it's okay." Li Xia obviously wanted to say something, but she quickly shook her head and walked away.

Lan Xin touched her nose, not understanding what Li Xia was thinking. Could it be that she didn't want to start working yet? But when she was dividing the tea eggs, she was so quick that she took the things and ran up the mountain with Lan Ze.

"It's really weird."

Lan Xin shook her head and ignored it. She looked up at the tall green mountain outside the yard and said, "The children are back to school today. There may not be as many people on the mountain as during the summer vacation. Everyone should start hawking and be more enthusiastic."

"Okay, we understand." Chen Baoni said with a smile.

Lan Xin had already told them about this situation, so they had anticipated today's situation. However, they never expected that there would be so few people and that they only sold two-thirds of the amount of tea eggs from the previous times.

Fortunately, Lan Xin adjusted the number of tea eggs according to the situation and did not cook so many at once.

However, Lan Yingjie’s products sold much better in the city, especially at noon when school was over. The fragrant tea eggs tried their best to tempt the students passing by after school.

Every time they passed by, they sniffed desperately, their mouths flooded with saliva.

Although children in cities do not have much more pocket money than children in rural areas, their parents are more concerned about their reputation. When children roll on the ground and make a fuss about eating tea eggs, their parents will scold them, but because of the eyes of passers-by, most of them will agree to buy them one to try the taste.

There were also some children who had money in their hands. When they smelled the scent, they would run over with a handful of change to buy tea eggs on their way to school in the afternoon.

So when the stall was closed today, Lan Yingjie was the first one to come back for the first time.
