Chapter 320 There is no free lunch
Seeing his nervousness, Bai Tao comforted him, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if they can't hatch. It's just 5,000 duck eggs."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she said it, Bai Youfu felt even more nervous. There were five thousand duck eggs, and if none of them hatched ducklings, then that would be his problem.
Is it that the incubator for the duck eggs was not installed correctly?
Or is the temperature of the duck eggs not adjusted correctly?
Or was there too little or too much water?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Bai Youfu became.
Seeing that Bai Youfu was not comforted but almost cried after she finished speaking, Bai Tao also reacted and comforted him in a baby voice again.
"I mean, there must be nothing wrong. Look, the chicks are doing pretty well."
"You have to have confidence in yourself."
Bai Tao: "I have confidence in you, so what do you have to be afraid of?"
Originally, Bai Tao didn't understand any of this, she just downloaded the video and gave it to Bai Youfu and his group to play with.
So she was prepared to fail the first one or two times, but unexpectedly, the chicks hatched very quickly.
"Don't worry." Bai Tao said, reaching out to pat Bai Youfu's shoulder, but after stretching out her hand, she found that her arms and legs were too short, so she picked up a chick in the bamboo basket instead.
The temperature in the incubator is very well controlled, so the chicks' feathers quickly become fluffy.
At this moment, Bai Tao touched the chick's furry head, scratched its chin twice, and looked at the chick rubbing its head because of the itch. She was instantly touched by the cuteness of the little animals.
"Take good care of them. When you have 100,000 poultry for sale, I will give you a great achievement."
The mission takes one year, so Bai Tao is not too worried.
Of course, in order to reduce the mortality rate of poultry chicks, Bai Tao has decided to get some stream water from the Sumeru space for the chicks and ducklings to drink.
The stream water in the Sumeru space contains a lot of spiritual energy. It can be said to be a weakened version of a spiritual spring. It is fine for people to drink, let alone chicks and ducklings.
This also means that the poultry chicks sold in Taohua Village are different from those sold elsewhere, and the meat is much more delicious and tastes better after they grow up.
In less than three years, the peach blossom chicken and peach blossom duck of Junji Mountain became famous all over the world, so much so that many people ran to Junji Town just to taste the delicious peach blossom chicken and peach blossom duck.
Of course, this is a follow-up.
Bai Youfu nodded. Although he was still nervous, he couldn't help but grin when he saw his aunt's happy expression.
Fortunately, a few days later, the duck eggs hatched one after another, and Bai Youfu's heart was finally relieved.
"Phew, it's not bad." Bai Youfu said with some lingering fear: "If this duck egg doesn't crack, I won't be able to see my aunt."
Hearing this, the women who worked with him were happy.
"My aunt has said it all, there will be no problem."
"That's right. With my aunt here, there will be no accidents."
While working, we can't help but chat about family matters.
As they talked, the topic turned to crops.
"Dazhi's wife, I heard that your Dazhi went to the upper village and the lower village again a few days ago?"
"Yes." Dazhi's wife Bai Hehua responded, "Wasn't it the rice seedlings turning green a few days ago? We need to apply fertilizer."
Having learned a lot from videos, people in Taohua Village can now use some professional terms from time to time.
"There's definitely no problem in our village, but it's not certain about the upper and lower villages." Bai Hehua didn't stop working while babble, "He'll just keep an eye on it."
This year, Taohua Village also provided the fertilizers for the fields to the two villages for free. After all, since they didn't see any results at the beginning, no one would be willing to spend money to buy fertilizers they had never seen before.
Rather than wasting time and energy on nagging, which would then lead to some people being reluctant to spend money and failing to use fertilizers properly, thus reducing grain production, it is better to provide it for free first.
Once the results are seen, people from the two villages will naturally come to buy the fertilizers without any sales promotion.
Bai Tao bought the fertilizer from the mall. She was the only one in the world who had it, and she could not set the price.
However, Bai Tao did not plan to buy from the mall all the time. Being a middleman could never compare to being a source manufacturer to make money.
There is only one fertilizer company in the world. If the supply is insufficient to meet the demand, even if it does not make a ton of money, it can at least make Taohua Village prosperous.
"The movie playing these two days is 'Foshan Shadowless Kick'. I didn't have time to watch it yesterday, so I must go watch it tonight..."
"I went there yesterday, and I told you, that Huang Feihong, he..."
"No, please don't say it. My son wanted to talk to me this afternoon, but I didn't listen."
"Yes, yes, I haven't seen it yet either. I have to go and see it myself. That would be interesting."
The cinema shows a movie every two days, giving the busy villagers a break.
Except for the initial "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", Bai Tao didn't go to the cinema. But as long as Big Guy was in the village, he would almost never miss a show.
He has been escorting goods to Yanzhou these two days. Half of Yanzhou's territory is desert. The big guy is still thinking about bringing desert lilies to Bai Tao.
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed and it was time to hand over the chicks and ducklings.
Zhou Yang and Kong Daming brought their people to the grocery store at the entrance of Taohua Village early in the morning and waited.
When they saw the rows of lively chicks and ducklings, the group touched this and that in surprise.
Raising these things will cost you money.
Bai Youfu explained: "There is a big difference between raising a group and raising a few."
"Let me tell you, the chickens and ducklings are still young, and they need to eat concentrated feed for the next few days."
"In the early days, the original price of concentrated feed was one tael of silver per sack, but because everyone has just settled down this year, I charge five hundred coins per sack."
After a pause, he continued, "Next year if you want to buy it, you will have to pay the original price."
"These chickens and ducks have already been given medicine to prevent diseases. All you have to do is feed them and give them enough water..."
Even the crops in the fields have different fertilizers, and the feed for chickens and ducks is divided into early, mid and late stages, so it is not surprising for the people in the two villages.
It can be said that because they are close to Taohua Village, they have to accept new things from time to time, and their ability to accept is much higher than people from other places.
Bai Youfu: "In the first half of the month, I will visit your village every now and then. If you have any questions about breeding, you can come to me."
"You must study hard this year. Next year, if you want to ask me questions, you will have to ask me to give you a lecture."
"There is no free lunch in this world. I need money to give lectures."
Bai Youfu said this because Bai Tao wanted to comfort and encourage him. She said that knowledge is money and experts from all walks of life are rich when they go out to give lectures.
When they heard that asking for advice next year might cost money, although many people had some concerns in their hearts, they were indeed prepared to learn how to raise chickens and ducks this year.
Ask for a ticket, good night~~~
