Zhu Lang is a veterinarian. When he went to the countryside, Zhu Lang used to work in the kang room, where he vaccinated the newly born chickens, ducks and goose vaccines, so Zhu Lang knew very well the principle of the kang room... In fact, I don’t know if there are any friends from Northeast China. In the early days, in rural areas of Northeast China, every household would hatch chickens on the kang head every year.

First of all, it is important to note that not every egg can hatch chicks, because if eggs want to hatch chicks, they must pass the big rooster to "step on the eggs". Haha, friends in the city should not know this very well, and they feel a little unfamiliar.

When I was a child, I didn’t know that the hens in my family could lay eggs, so I naturally thought that as long as the hens could lay eggs, they could hatch chickens. But the fact is not the case. At first, only hens were raised at home, and the hens were old laying eggs and did not hatch chickens. Later, my mother said she wanted to borrow a rooster so that she could raise chickens. Why did she borrow a rooster? Later, I realized that roosters could make hens hatch chickens. So how did roosters make hens hatch chickens?

There is no such thing for a rooster (can't be written out). Roosters usually step on hens. Generally, hens need to hatch chickens, so they have to conceive. Generally, in this case, the hens have to squat half-squat, their wings are spread out, and the rooster will step on them. Then they peck the hen's comb with their mouths. The tail of the hen must also be raised upwards. The rooster and the tail of the hen must be contacted, so that conception is completed. People call this mating "stepping".

Only when the eggs laid after stepping on the match will the hens hatch. Only then can we see the cute little chicks, saying that they will be in the Northeast. At that time, when the big roosters passed by the "eggs" in rural areas of Northeast China, because there were too many, the old hens could not hatch, so they had to get them to the kang to hatch eggs manually.

The warm kang is best to hatch chicks, which is similar to the temperature under the wings of "Old Hu Zi"; the men and children at home can't sleep with the warm kang, and they feel a little uncomfortable.

There is a saying in the northeast, called "Gaga twenty-eight, Jiji twenty-one", which means that a gaga duck can hatch from the eggshell for 28 days, while a chick chick only takes about twenty-eight days. The temperature at the kang head is well controlled, and the time for hatching the chicks will be shorter.

The general temperature should be controlled at around 31 degrees to 34 degrees, not too high or too low.

How to determine whether the eggs can hatch chicks? It’s very simple. First, pull up the curtains in the house, and it’s dark inside, then pick up the flashlight and illuminate the eggs one by one. Look carefully through the egg shells. There is a faint black shadow inside, that is, the rooster has stepped on the eggs and can hatch. If there is no black shadow in the egg, it’s an ordinary egg. Take it to stir-fry leeks. Don’t hesitate.

On the head of the kang with the right temperature, first lay a layer of straw or wheat straw, put the eggs on it, and then cover it with a small quilt. Turn it gently every once in a while. Use cotton for the quilt. Never use a breathable acrylic quilt, otherwise the eggs will smell smelly.

It was estimated that the day was coming, so I had to watch it frequently. Finally, an egg made a slight cracking sound, a small piece of eggshell was pushed open, and a yellow, pointed, tender mouth stuck out from it, and then the chick's head also came out. The scene of the birth of a new life was so shocking.

When the chicks hatch, the nutrients brought from the eggs are enough for them to consume for a while, so they don’t eat. At this time, they should be moved to a cardboard box, prepare some millet and water, and put them in a dish, and wait for them to consume energy in their bodies, and eat and drink to grow up!

It's simple, it's really simple... but although it's simple, the technique of artificial hatching chickens was not available in the early Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, the duck and goose seedlings are even higher if they cost only three cents.

Zhu Lang wanted to cut down the prices of chickens, ducks and goose shoots around Yingtian, so that all the people of the Ming Dynasty could afford to raise chickens, ducks and goose... So after Chen Wansan sent them away, Zhu Lang began to put away chickens, ducks and goose eggs. Of course, the eggs must be stepped on by the rooster. Some old hens cannot hatch so many chicks alone, and the extra eggs can now be sold to Zhu Lang.

Zhu Lang used a slightly higher price than eggs. These were collected in total, with more than 100,000 chicken, duck and goose eggs. While collecting the eggs, Zhu Lang began to build a kang house, which was about 300 meters away from the Narcissus Village. It was originally a place where the Yingtian Dizhu family was. The landlord was said to be very powerful, but now it is in Zhu Lang's hands. Zhu Lang built three kang houses in this place, one kang house produces chicken seedlings, one kang house produces duck seedlings, and the other kang house produces goose seedlings.

....................................

"Burn the fire..." After Zhu Lang entered the Chicken Kang room, he felt that the temperature was still not enough, so he asked Xia Wu outside to burn the fire.

"I know, my son..." Xia Wu hurriedly went to get the wood, and soon the fire started to burn again.

To be honest, for these three kang houses, Zhu Lang has been devoted to it all this time. This time he collected 50,000 chickens, 30,000 ducks, and 30,000 goose seedlings. He must succeed and must not fail. As long as the first batch can be hatched, the second batch, the third batch... Zhu Lang will be more confident, and as long as the first batch is hatched, Zhu Lang will be prepared to give Zhu Yuanzhang this house trap technology.

He hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could spread this technology to the house trap all over the country. Some people said that Zhu Lang wanted the Virgin Mary and did not keep it to make money, but he actually gave this technology to others selflessly.

To be honest, Zhu Lang is really not a Virgin. It is true that this kang house can earn some money, but Zhu Lang always felt that the people in the early Ming Dynasty were too miserable. In the past, Zhu Lang's family had no chickens and ducks. Aunt Wang really wanted to raise chickens and ducks because chickens and ducks can lay eggs, and eggs can supplement the household income. Moreover, chickens and ducks don't eat much, so they squeezed some food from their mouths, and then went out to dig out for food by themselves. No matter how poor the family is, they can support them.

But chickens and ducks are rare and expensive, and some can be earned. Just like those nobles and landlords, Zhu Lang not only needs to earn a lot, but the people's silver is especially the people's silver in the darkest era when they just experienced the late Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Lang really doesn't want to make money. Although Zhu Lang is not the Holy Mother, he really can't bear to see these people suffer anymore.

The people in the early Ming Dynasty were really suffering. Zhu Lang hoped to use his own technology to allow these people to raise a few chickens and ducks, and then give them more hope in their lives. That's all.

However, just when Zhu Lang was desperately taking care of the chickens and ducks for the people of the Ming Dynasty in Narcissus Village, Zhu Lang would not have expected that someone would look at his shop in Jiangnanxue in Yingtian City.

Oh...it's mainly because Jiangnanxue is so greedy. Zhu Yuanzhang has always been hidden behind the scenes. Zhu Lang's identity is not obvious. Hu Shan is just a businessman. At this time, someone is about to open his mouth and want to lick Jiangnanxue and taste the sweetness. Moreover, this person has a big background and is very powerful in Yingtian.
