The last time she returned to Linjiazhuang from Xiaoxi Town, Lin Wanwan brought a large cage of fluffy light yellow chicks with her.
Huanong and others who were staying at home saw it and said with a smile: "Madam, are you raising this for the children again?"
Lin Wanwan said casually: "It's not just about raising them in the school. You divide these chicks, take out a few for us to raise at home, and then give some to the clan to raise."
"Here, I'll go right now."
Huanong and Hongyan stepped forward together and took Kunlun to the backyard to divide the chickens.
White-feathered chickens are three-way hybrid broiler chickens. They are characterized by being ready for slaughter and laying many eggs. They grow up in thirty-eight days and can be ready for slaughter in forty-two days. For example, the chickens in fast food restaurants such as KFC and McDonald’s use white-feathered chickens.
chicken.
Only white-feathered chickens, such as fast-growing broilers, can satisfy the desire of so many people in the world to eat chicken.
Like all things monopolized by capital, the existence of the Chinese elite is to break monopoly and achieve freedom. What Lin Wanwan is buying now is independently cultivated in China.
It still takes 4 months for Campbell's ducks to enter the egg-laying period, while it only takes more than a month for white-feathered chickens.
Of course, the egg production is much lower than that of Combe ducks, but their white-feathered chickens are not mainly focused on laying eggs. They already produce more eggs than ordinary domestic chickens.
In the Tang Dynasty, this was definitely a fighting chicken among meat eaters, and the indigenous chickens had no chance of fighting against it.
When Lin Wanwan told the tribesmen about the characteristics of this kind of chicken, everyone didn't believe it. It was all revealed in their expressions without saying anything.
Lin Wanwan had no choice but to let them go. Fortunately, even if she didn't believe her, her tribe members didn't support her when she said she wanted to raise chickens.
But when she said that she wanted to feed the chickens her own specially prepared food, she looked unbelievable and disapproving.
How can a chicken be so virtuous and eat such good special food? This is not a BMW.
BMWs and cattle are raised so carefully that everyone can accept them, but chickens are nothing.
But I didn't agree with it in my heart, and there was no one who opposed Lin Wanwan verbally.
Not to mention that Lin Wanwan is now the face of their Lin family. Even if she is not the village monarch, just because of the changes she has brought to the clan, everyone will support her.
The chicken food that Lin Wanwan calls her own is, of course, the chicken feed purchased from Hyundai.
There are many theories in modern times that chicken feed contains hormones. In fact, chicken feed produced by regular manufacturers does not contain hormones at all. Adding hormones is not only illegal, but also increases the cost and is not good for the growth rate of chickens.
Just like white-feathered chickens, the reason why they come out of the market quickly is not because they eat hormone-added chicken feed, but because after crossbreeding, their breed characteristics are that they grow fast.
Of course, it is impossible for the chickens and ducks raised in Linjiazhuang to all eat feed. On such a large beach, there are so many natural insects, shrimps and shells for them to find food every day, so they can be fully stocked.
Because the tribesmen didn't quite believe what Lin Wanwan said, Lin Wanwan changed her strategy and decided to start with the baby!
After the afternoon music class, Lin Wanwan brought a large cage of white-feathered chickens to school, asking the children who were eight years old or above to pick up a chick and take it home to raise.
Then she took some time to tell everyone about the characteristics of the white-feathered chickens and what to pay attention to when raising them. Although Lin Wanwan herself has insufficient practical experience, she is very rich in theoretical knowledge, which is valuable and has been tested by time and science.
experience.
When the children heard that the chicken's feathers would turn white when it grew up, they were shocked.
Children have no idea about things like being ready for slaughter quickly and laying more eggs than ordinary domestic chickens.
All they know is that these little chickens will turn into snow-white chickens!
Lin Tiezhu's excited shout of "Wow! Auspicious!" reminded Lin Wanwan.
This is an era of superstition and auspiciousness!
The feudal societies of all dynasties were very superstitious about albinism (except in humans).
According to historical records, albino deer, snakes, roe deer, foxes, etc. were presented to the emperor as so-called "auspicious things"!
There are clear records of Hu Zongxian in the Ming Dynasty presenting a white deer to Emperor Jiajing to protect his official position, and in the 16th year of Qianlong's reign, Mongolia presented a white deer to Qianlong to express loyalty, etc.
In short, rare white animals were considered auspicious in ancient times.
White-feathered chicken, that’s absolute (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 253: White-feathered chicken, auspicious?
The right new species has never been seen by the natives of the Tang Dynasty!
She had only emphasized to the tribe members that white-feathered chickens grow quickly and lay many eggs, but she had not mentioned the snow-white feathers of these chickens when they grew up.
This kind of auspicious offering must definitely go through the county magistrate. Every year, there are local officials who flatter the emperor and make offerings.
"I am seeking benefits for Xiao Chong again!" Lin Wanwan touched her chin, thinking about what benefits she should get from Xiao Chong.
Well, let him draw a portrait of himself, a giant-realistic one. When the time comes, it will be displayed in modern times, haha, and he will be able to tell everyone that his ancestors were nobles, and he looks exactly like me!
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan was happy. She told the children to keep this matter a secret for the time being, and then she would let their parents know about it when they get used to it.
The children naturally followed Lin Wanwan completely. As the dean of the school who provided them with food and clothing, Lin Wanwan gained all the children's trust.
Even the cousins of Xiao Qingyu's grandparents all regard Lin Wanwan's words as a guide.
She said that when the chickens are raised, their feathers will be white, and no child will doubt it. This is completely different from the tribesmen whose common sense has long been firmly established. This is the joy of being a teacher.
When these children grow up, the patriarch of the Lin Family Village will naturally become Lin Wanwan, and no one can surpass her prestige in the hearts of the new generation of Lin clan members.
After distributing chickens and supporting chicken feed to more than 30 children aged eight and above, Lin Wanwan sent the children out of school.
In the next labor class, Mr. Zhong, who is also the labor class teacher, will watch over the children. Anyway, as long as they don't go to the sea or go into the mountains, the rest doesn't matter.
Little Qingyu "dong dong dong" ran to Lin Wanwan's side, hugged her waist, raised her head and said coquettishly: "Mother, I also want to raise a chick!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and touched her little head, and said dotingly: "Okay, little Qingyu will choose the one she likes the most. Mother asked Uncle Meng Bo to make a beautiful bamboo chicken coop for you, and keep it in
How’s the front yard?”
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Qingyu clapped her hands happily, pulling Lin Wanwan and saying, "Mom, let's go pick out the chicks!"
Xiao Qingyu is particularly fond of small animals. The animals know who is good to them and are very close to Xiao Qingyu.
The little elephant and the pony, who have relatively high IQs, even often get jealous and argue. The Hai Dongqing sent by Xiao Yixun was supposed to only have one master for the mute girl in his life, but now he also listens to Xiao Qingyu's instructions.
Already.
In Lin Wanwan's family, the mute girl A Jing (originally named A Qing, but her name conflicted with Xiao Qingyu's, Lin Wanwan changed her name to A Jing at the suggestion of the patriarch Lin) and Xiao Qingyu were the best at training animals.
Ajing hardly communicates with people. To her, it seems that the animal world is a beautiful world.
