Chapter 385 Kong Jie: He won't go to the doctor in a hurry!
At the Baipogou Independent Regiment Headquarters, Chief of Staff Li Wensheng walked up to Kong Jie with a puzzled look on his face, holding the telegram just sent by Huang Yu in his hand.
"Captain... Xiao Huang actually wants to raise chickens in Dingjiazhuang... This is for food. He is in urgent need of medical treatment. Are you in a hurry?"
"The food we have is not enough for people to eat, so how can we use it to raise chickens?"
"I suggest that the regiment headquarters send him a telegram immediately to prevent him from building a chicken farm in Dingjiazhuang... This consumes too much food!"
"Raise chickens!" Kong Jie's first reaction was that Huang Yu was joking.
He was born into a poor man and had raised chickens since he was a child.
I have the same idea as Li Wensheng, thinking that raising chickens will consume a lot of food, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Subconsciously, he nodded to stop Huang Yu from raising chickens.
When the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Based on his understanding of Huang Yu, he would never make such a stupid mistake.
Since he dared to propose the idea of raising chickens to me, it meant that he already felt confident.
As for the problem of raising chickens that consumes a lot of food, 80% of them have been solved by him.
The conversation changed and he stared at Li Wensheng and continued to ask: "What else did he say? I think Huang Yu's raising chickens is not as simple as we thought!"
"Isn't it just raising chickens? It's not like I've never raised chickens before, so why would I have any difficulty?" Li Wensheng said unconvinced.
But he still handed the telegram to Kong Jie and said smoothly: "In addition to requesting the regiment headquarters to agree to the establishment of a chicken farm in the assault camp, Huang Yu also wants the regiment headquarters to approve 500 yuan as funding for the establishment of a chicken farm!"
"We also asked the regiment headquarters to order each infantry company to turn in two thousand live earthworms... The faster the better, and send them directly to the assault battalion station..."
"Earthworms..." Kong Jie became confused again. He didn't know what Huang Yu wanted so many earthworms for!
The Independent Regiment has thirty or forty infantry companies. Each company prepares two thousand earthworms, which adds up to seventy or eighty thousand. Is it possible that they want to use earthworms to raise chickens...
Kong Jie secretly thought to himself that although he found this idea a bit unbelievable, out of trust in Huang Yu, he finally gave a positive answer!
"Promise Huang Yu..."
"This kid never plays by the rules... he often creates miracles for us..."
"Isn't it just five hundred yuan? Our independent group is not short of this kind of money. Maybe he can really build a chicken farm that does not consume food, and then we will make a lot of money..."
At the Dingjiazhuang Assault Battalion station, looking at the densely packed live earthworms in the frame, Zhong Chengjun and Wei Dayong both had trypophobia and looked disgusted.
Huang Yu feels like he has found a treasure!
Immediately put them separately into the fermented dead grass leaves. After a while, the densely packed earthworms disappeared in front of everyone!
Zhong Chengjun's mind was full of questions and he couldn't bear it anymore. He stared at Huang Yu and asked: "Batalion Commander...Look at this posture, you don't want to raise earthworms, do you?"
"What's the use of raising such disgusting things..."
"Earthworms can be high in protein!" Huang Yu explained.
"When it grows up, cook it, grind it into powder, and mix it with vegetable leaves to feed the chickens. The effect is better than eating grain!"
"What is high protein?" Zhong Chengjun felt that he was getting more and more confused as he listened, and he stared at Huang Yu and continued to ask.
Huang Yu replied helplessly: "I can't explain exactly what high protein is. Anyway, it is a very nutritious thing. Chickens especially like to eat it... It not only grows meat, but also allows chickens to lay more eggs!"
Zhong Chengjun seemed to have heard a big joke and said with disbelief: "Are you sure that chickens can eat such disgusting things? Why don't I believe it?"
"Earthworms are nutritious...how is this possible? Are you mistaken, battalion commander?"
Huang Yu shook his head and replied firmly: "When I was a child, I saw people feeding chickens with earthworms. It must be right!"
"If you don't believe it, wait until the earthworms here grow up a little, and we will find out after we try it!"
In the next few days, Huang Yu would check the earthworm pond several times every day, for fear that something might happen to them...
Zhong Chengjun followed behind, always with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Zhong Chengjun, who felt his scalp numb as he watched the regiment leader once again lift up the dead branches and leaves and inspect the earthworms inside, asked again: "Batalion Commander, these earthworms are so amazing...With them, we don't have to consume food to raise chickens."
Already?"
"I'm sure!" Huang Yu replied with a wry smile.
In his memory, this was the tenth time he had answered this question.
Seeing what Zhong Chengjun wanted to say, Huang Yu took the lead and said: "Since you want to prove my words so much, let's try it today!"
"Some people will come and pick out all the big earthworms in the pond for me..."
"Find another big pot to cook the earthworms. After cooking, dry them in the sun, grind them into powder, mix them with vegetable leaves and feed them to the chickens...I guarantee they will really like to eat them!"
Select, easily, boil, dry...
The next morning, a basket of earthworm powder appeared in front of Zhong Chengjun.
"Since Lao Zhong, you don't believe that earthworm powder can be fed to chickens, then the task of feeding the chickens will be left to you... Seeing dozens of hens eating earthworm powder with your own eyes is definitely better than what I can say in a hundred words.
It works…
For the next five days, Zhong Chengjun did not feed the hens any food, but gave them earthworm powder and vegetable leaves.
Under normal circumstances, hens will stop laying eggs as soon as food is cut off.
As a result, not only did these hens not stop laying eggs, they actually laid eggs more frequently than before when they were fed grain...
This result stunned Zhong Chengjun. It took him more than half an hour to react. Then he stared at Huang Yu and said: "Batalion Commander, you are so amazing. You can even think of ways to use earthworms to raise chickens... This is so unexpected."
Got it!"
"We only have dozens of hens now, and one hen lays two eggs every three days... If we feed 3,000 chickens, we can lay 2,000 eggs a day!"
"If a soldier eats one boiled egg a day, the commando camp can save at least one hundred kilograms of food a day..."
"If a soldier eats two boiled eggs a day, it will be no problem for the commando battalion to save 200 kilograms of military rations a day..."
"This is just the rations saved by our assault battalion!"
"If other battalions also build chicken farms to ensure that each soldier in the independent regiment eats two boiled eggs a day, the entire regiment can save at least two thousand kilograms of military rations a day!"
"If we raise more chickens, we can sell the eggs to the local people, which will save a lot of food rations!"
"There are more than one million people in the base area, and one kilogram of rations in a fellow province has more than one million kilograms of grain, which is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of disaster victims for several days!"
Huang Yu responded: "As the scale of chicken farming expands, the earthworms we need will double. We definitely can't raise that many by ourselves!"
"The technology of earthworm breeding is very simple, and ordinary people can learn it as soon as possible!"
"I plan to mobilize the surrounding people to raise earthworms together!"
"The most indispensable thing in the countryside is dead branches and leaves. The villagers raise their own earthworms. Not only can they raise their own chickens, but they can also sell them to us for eggs!"
"There is no cost to raise earthworms, as long as you have the strength... As long as one pound of earthworms can be exchanged for one egg, the villagers will definitely flock to it and rush to do it!"
"We use the recovered earthworms to raise chickens to further expand the scale of the chicken farm and produce more eggs. This can not only meet the needs of the troops, but also recover more eggs from the villagers..."
"Let's experiment in the assault camp for a period of time. After confirming that there are no problems, we will report it to the regiment headquarters and promote it throughout the base area..."
As soon as Zhong Chengjun left the camp, Wei Dayong rushed in with his back legs full of joy...
"Battal Commander, the hunting team's first operation was a complete success...guess what prey we caught..."
Huang Yu said angrily: "We only have wild boars, pheasants, and hares as prey here. What's there to guess? Besides, what I want is the quantity, not the type. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Don't talk to me here.
I'm talking nonsense..."
Huang Yu's reaction was completely beyond Wei Dayong's expectation. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Don't worry, battalion commander, the quantity will not disappoint you!"
"There are five wild boars in total...38 hares and 56 pheasants, which can kill at least two thousand kilograms of meat..."
"It will definitely be no problem to save four to five thousand kilograms of military rations!"
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Huang Yu's face. He looked at Wei Dayong and said happily: "One hunting operation saves four to five thousand kilograms of military rations... If you go into the mountains ten times, you can't save four to five kilograms."
Thousands of catties of military rations!”
"Each battalion of the Independent Regiment saves 40,000 to 50,000 jins of military rations. The total must exceed 500,000 jins of food, which is enough to feed the victims for several days!"
"Wei Dayong...you have made a great contribution!"
"What meritorious service, battalion commander, who did the great meritorious service!" Zhang Tiezhu, the commander of Tu's second company, suddenly ran in and asked.
Huang Yu's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he happily explained: "A coincidence is worse than a good one... Wei Dayong's hunting team brought back a total of two thousand kilograms of prey, which can save four to five thousand kilograms of military rations for the troops!"
"Your boy is in charge of the fishing team... After so many days, it's time for the results to come out!"
"If you can help the troops save thousands of kilograms of food, you will also share in the credit!"
Zhang Tiezhu immediately replied: "Don't worry, battalion commander... I, Zhang Tiezhu, are not bragging. In terms of fishing, none of the ten Wei Dayongs can compare to me!"
"There happen to be two soldiers in the Second Company who are good at fishing. I appointed them as deputy captains of the fishing team to directly attack our fishing..."
"According to the battalion commander's request, only big fish over half a catty..."
"According to statistics, we caught a total of 2,800 kilograms of fish in the first phase, which will definitely help the troops save four to five thousand kilograms of food!"
"Okay..." The smile on Huang Yu's face grew wider, and he immediately ordered the two of them.
"Keep half of the fish and prey for yourself, and send all the remaining fish and prey to nearby villages and towns in exchange for food!"
"The folks don't have much leftover food, and they certainly can't afford the meat at the normal price. We suffer a little loss when we trade it, so we sell it all at the rate of one pound of prey for two pounds of grain!"
Looking at the slowly disappearing figures of Wei Dayong and Zhang Tiezhu, the smile on Huang Yu's face immediately disappeared and was replaced by seriousness again. He looked at the entrance of the camp and murmured to himself.
"We dug out everything that was edible inside the base area and ate it. The remaining food gap can only be solved from the outside. I don't know what happened to Wang Minghua's side!"
