"That's nature!" Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "otherwise, how can we manage such a wide place? I don't know where to go! "

Both of them were action groups. They went back to discuss for a while that night, and the next day they were all ready.

Since we are going to raise chickens, the henhouse is naturally built.

Even at the foot of the mountain, Fangzhou left a lot of flat land that had not been reclaimed into cotton fields in advance. It was ready to build a chicken house. At this time, people were invited to work.

It is expected that two herringbone wooden sheds will be built side by side, independent of each other. Each shed is about 13 meters long and 6 meters wide. It is also a wooden structure. The top of the shed is covered with fir bark. It is about half a meter above the ground and connected by several wooden steps more than one meter wide.

The floor of each room is not sealed, but after the framework is built, it is nailed one by one with a solid long wooden strip two finger wide, leaving a finger wide gap between each two. In this way, the chicken that stays in the room overnight can pull the feces and leak down the gap. Only the movable bottom floor under the bottom or in the middle of the chicken house needs to be cleaned with a long handle special shovel In the daytime, the left and right ten windows will be opened for convection ventilation, and the chicken house will be clean and fresh, which can prevent the breeding of bacteria.

Considering that it's not convenient for the young chicken to be mixed with the adult chicken, a small gap is specially separated in each room.

In addition to these two rooms, a slightly smaller room was built for laying eggs for hens and feeding chickens just born.

The newly born chicken only needs ten and a half days to be raised, and then it can be moved to a smaller room separated by the specialized gate of the two henhouses.

On the ground next to the chicken house, several flat areas with a length of 1.5 m and a width of 1.5 m were specially built with smooth blue bricks, which were specially used for feeding and drinking chickens, and were scattered around the chicken house, so that the chickens would not be crowded in one place when eating.

Lianfangzhou plans to raise two thousand chickens this year. It's enough to build two such henhouses.

According to the original plan, she reserved two such henhouses on the north and south sides of the mountain. The rest of the surrounding areas are also planted with fruit trees.

After the chicken house is built, she sprinkles peppermint, wormwood and other herbs all over the mountain and at the foot of the mountain to prevent mosquito breeding and let the chickens peck.

The chicken house is being built and the fence is beginning to be enclosed. In order to prevent weasels, wild mice, etc., Lian Fangzhou specially customized a barbed wire net of up to two and a half meters in the city, and built a masonry foundation of about 10 cm high below, on which barbed wire was installed.

Then, go to the orchard of Linjia to buy some rattan roses, plant a circle along the barbed wire net, let these thorny roses climb up along the barbed wire net, which is not only a beautiful landscape, but also a shade, and can block the outside sight line, which can be described as one stroke.

These work arrangements go on, order Qin Feng to send people to follow up, there will be no lianfangzhou anything.

There is a chicken house. She has to find a way to get the chickens.

There are no modern hatcheries these days. It's obviously not reliable to buy them from rural families.

Most of the chickens hatched by others will be raised by themselves, and the eggs that are not hatched will be saved and sold. Don't say people are willing to sell, even if they are willing to buy, how much can they have? It's not easy to buy enough chickens.

Lian Fangzhou inquired from many parties, only to hear that there was a family who knew Kang chicken in Xiaowang Village in the eastern suburb of the county.

The so-called Kang chicken is a secret but unique skill. There are few people who can meet it. There are at most one or two families in a county who can, or even can't.

Xiaowang Village, a family surnamed Wang, has known this for generations.

They have a specially built Kang in their house. When they need a chicken on the Kang, they put eggs one by one into the Kang, and then incubate the eggs by burning the temperature transferred by the charcoal fire.

There's no other trick, it's all experience.

In an age when there is no thermometer and all the instruments to rely on, it is not easy to keep the temperature suitable for hatching just by feeling impartial.

I can't break without twenty or thirty years of experience.

The temperature is too low to hatch chicks. The chicks that are barely hatched with insufficient temperature usually have poor resistance and are hard to feed. It seems that they are not energetic enough. When the temperature is high, the eggs will become oligarchic and the chickens will not hatch.

Now the Wang family in xiaowangcun is the old man of his family, who is fifty years old, who is in charge of this matter. Every year, he takes his son, who is in his thirties, to do the follow-up study.

When Kangji is being served, laowangtou will stay on the Kang all day long, eating, drinking and pulling almost all the time. That's to feel the temperature of Kangji all the time. It's impossible for him to have a good sleep in the whole twenty-four or five days.

When all the chickens are hatched, old Wang, with his beard pulled, his eyes sunken and red, and his face haggard, can sleep for three days and three nights at a time!

The chickens from the Kang are for sale. People who need to buy chicks to raise them usually buy them in spring, so laowangtou Kang chicks only buy them in spring.

A chick can sell eight to ten Wen. In spring, there are three or four kangs on the kangs. Apart from the cost of buying eggs, there is almost a year's household money.

When Lian Fangzhou, a Jian and Lian Ze found his home, they heard that as soon as Lian Fangzhou asked for two thousand, Lao wangtou was a little hard.

His family can only have 700 chickens on the Kang once. They have just sold one Kang and have to rest for about ten days to continue.

Even though he wanted to make the money, he couldn't help it.

Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "it doesn't matter. It's just right! You divide the Kang into three times and give it to me! Don't worry about it. After one Kang, you can rest enough and get another Kang! "

Lian Fangzhou knows that this kind of delicate work, which is completely controlled by experience, can't go wrong until people's mental state is adjusted to the best, otherwise, as long as there is a little deviation, it's the end of the game.

Old Wang was very happy. He nodded and smiled: "that's very nice, even girl! It's no problem. I'll be able to get on the Kang in a few days! I'll send you a message when it's almost time. You'll come to pick it up. I can prepare flat bamboo baskets at home. You just need to come! "

Lian Fangzhou was very happy to thank him. He couldn't help asking again, "since you can Kang chickens, don't you know if you can Kang ducklings?"

The old Wang was shocked. This Kang chicken is an ancestral skill. For so many years, his father and son didn't think of Kang chicken as well as Kang duck.

"Well, not yet..." Lao Wang's hands spread out and smiled. He said to himself, "I'm ashamed!" Did you think that there was another financial way for some ducks to sell on this Kang?

However, soon, old Wang did not regret that he did not think of this road of wealth. Because even if you want to try it, it's not so easy.
