1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 101 It’s not an ordinary earthworm!

After hearing what the other party said, Su Wenchen spoke directly.

"Okay, since you are so experienced, that's even better. Take me to find some chicken manure that has been fermented more thoroughly."

"So I can feed it to earthworms."

Hearing Su Wenchen's words, the other party was a little puzzled.

"Why feed this good fertilizer to earthworms? It's such a waste."

Su Wenchen was not prepared to explain anything to the other party.

"I have a use for this, just help me find it."

I said this when I saw Su Wenchen.

The other party could only nod.

"Okay, the first batch has been fermented thoroughly. Manager Su, let me tell you, when you plant vegetables in your backyard, if you sprinkle some of this on them, don't think it's dirty, the vegetables will grow beautifully."

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"It's not that I dislike it, but this chicken manure is also collective property. Even if I am the farm manager, I can't use it for my family privately."

"But what you said makes sense. Let's discuss it with the brigade and see if we can give each family some land. A few more acres will be enough for each family."

When the other party heard this, his face immediately lit up.

Because this way he can also get a share of the fertilizer.

He quickly said it with a hint of flattery.

"If anything, it has to be Director Su. He is so generous, much better than your father."

"When he comes over, he will tell me to keep a close eye on it and not let anyone steal it."

"Just tell me, who in our brigade can do such a thing? And I tell you, after using this manure, the vegetables grown will be different from those in other fields."

"I've been cooking so many New Year dishes, I can tell at a glance, I'm sure I'll catch him in the act."

Su Wenchen nodded.

"Our team doesn't usually do this, but the main thing is to prevent outsiders from stealing."

Because Su Wenchen was not talking nonsense, there really were people stealing feces at that time.

Especially the fermented ones like theirs.

It is even more of a delicacy in the eyes of farmers.

However, it is the summer harvest season now, and stealing of manure generally does not occur during this period.

That situation usually occurs during spring plowing and winter wheat planting.

Hearing Su Wenchen say this.

The other party also agreed.

"That's true. I heard that some brigades would steal feces from the county's public toilets at night."

"We have to watch it carefully and not let these people take advantage of us. Otherwise, we will wait until it is fermented and then transport it to the threshing ground."

"Once this stuff is fermented, it basically doesn't stink anymore."

"If you don't believe me, just smell it."

As he spoke, the other party took Su Wenchen to a dung pile in the front and bent down to pick up a piece of chicken manure.

He handed it to Su Wenchen to take a look.

At this time, the chicken manure has been completely fermented and the overall color is yellowish brown.

Su Wenchen took it and crushed it gently.

I found that the texture was still relatively soft and it broke into pieces with just a pinch.

Sniffed it slightly.

He found that it did not have the pungent smell of fresh chicken manure. Instead, Su Wenchen felt that the smell was more earthy.

"It really doesn't stink that much anymore. It's better to transport this fermented stuff to the threshing ground for storage!"

"That place is close to the brigade warehouse and is often patrolled by militiamen."

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, the other party also agreed.

"Okay, I'll send the pile over there later. It would be better to build a small wooden house so that we don't have to worry about it when it rains."

"That's fine. Just discuss this with my dad and the others. I've been pretty busy lately!"

As he spoke, Su Wenchen squatted down and put a lot of fermented chicken manure into the small wooden box.

Then find some soil and mix it with crushed leaves and weeds.

But looking at the dry base material that has been produced and the earthworms rolling inside it.

Su Wenchen couldn't help but doubt, can earthworms really eat this thing?
On the way back, he always felt like something was wrong?
But I didn’t remember it for a moment.

At this time, I happened to pass by the river and saw Xiao Shitou sticking his butt out, digging the soil there.

After Su Wenchen came over, he immediately knew something was wrong.

The base I made myself was too dry.

It is obvious that earthworms do not like particularly dry soil. They like places that are slightly moist but not too moist.

Su Wenchen grabbed a handful of dirt dug out from the ground by the stone.

Feel the moisture.

Obviously, more earthworms can be dug out here, which means that the soil and moisture here are more suitable for the growth of earthworms.

Su Wenchen can just learn it directly.

Xiao Shitou also saw Su Wenchen's behavior.

He raised the basket in his other hand and said as if to seek credit.

"Uncle, I have already dug eight."

"Okay, that's enough. Let's go back and fry you an egg!"

Hearing this, Shi Tou suddenly became excited.

"Really? Frying in oil?"

"Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"

For Su Wenchen now, he is actually living a pretty good life.

Especially after the summer harvest, he used his work points to exchange for 300 kilograms of flour on the spot.

Eat fine grains at every meal.

This directly made Su's mother angry, and she scolded him every day at home, saying that he couldn't live a happy life.

Su Wenchen didn't care, as it went in one ear and out the other.

For Su Wenchen, he now has three work points: one is the basic work points of the chicken farm manager, another is the additional bonus work points of the chicken farm, and the last is the subsidy work points of the deputy secretary of the brigade party branch.

So he really has no shortage of work points now. In fact, the work points he earns alone are more than many families of three.

If it weren't for the restrictions on their side, the basic rations could only be exchanged for 300 kilograms, and Su Wenchen would definitely have to exchange more.

For the rest of the team, after the summer harvest, generally not many people exchanged their basic rations on a large scale.

Those who were as generous as Su Wenchen in exchanging for fine grains were all young people who had separated from their families and were not yet married, because only they had the confidence to exchange for fine grains.

Especially now that the chicken farm is becoming more and more prosperous, the days are getting better and better.

Naturally, there are also some young people who would deliberately learn from Su Wenchen.

I admire the strong!
In fact, this situation exists for both men and women.

Those who have families and many children naturally would not dare to do so. At most, they would exchange for a few pounds of white flour to satisfy their cravings.

Most of them are waiting for the autumn harvest to exchange for cornmeal.

Because for the same basic ration, the work points consumed by 300 kilograms of cornmeal are much less than that of 300 kilograms of white flour.

In this way, you can save more work points and exchange them for money to support your family.

Many elderly people in the brigade were dissatisfied with the group of young people led by Su Wenchen who followed the trend to exchange for fine grains, and felt that they did not know how to live.

These young people who think one person can feed the whole family will definitely suffer in the future.

Su Wenchen just smiled when he heard this.

After all, the experience of the elderly is generally not very useful when faced with something beyond common sense like plug-ins.

night.

After dinner, when Su's mother had some free time, she would start her routine nagging.

First, she started nagging Su Wenchen for not knowing how to live.

Then, he started to criticize Su's father, saying that his children inherited his greedy habit.

Finally, he started talking about how miserable he was.

With these three pieces of equipment, Su Wenchen is now completely immune.

Because most of the time Su's mother doesn't even change the words.

In short, as long as nothing happens and if I can't find anything to do, I will subconsciously criticize him.

Su Wenchen can now automatically block content that he doesn't want to hear.

Even Jiang Li was a little uncomfortable at first.

But after so many days, she has become accustomed to Su's mother's nagging.

In fact, in her eyes, this makes the place feel more like home.

I think many families in Beijing's compound have learned to be serious.

Everyone in the family was as cold as ice, but she felt that this was more down-to-earth.

Walk to Su Wenchen.

Looking at the other person smiling foolishly at the wooden box with a look of joy.

"What are you looking at? You look so happy. Tell me about it and it will make me happy too!"

Su Wenchen didn't even turn his head, so you couldn't see it.

I tell you, the future of our team lies here.

Jiang Li was confused after hearing this.

"The future? Just this box of soil or the earthworms inside?"

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"It's not an ordinary earthworm. It's an earthworm that I've fed before, and now it's an earthworm that's going to evolve."

While Su Wenchen was speaking, he was staring at the earthworm panel on the top of the box that only he could see.

【Earthworm LV0】

Current status: healthy
Cultivation direction 1: Breeding earthworms LV, the reproduction rate increases by %, the resistance to pathogens increases by %, and the growth rate increases by %.

Corresponding to the cultivation base: "See more."

Cultivation direction two: Decomposition earthworm LV1, reproduction rate increased by %, soil improvement effect increased by %, and decomposition speed of organic matter increased by %.

Corresponding to the cultivation base: "See more."

Introduction: This is a very ordinary earthworm, but you can make it extraordinary.

Obviously, the moment the panel appeared, the breeding of earthworms was no longer a problem for Su Wenchen.

He checked the corresponding base material.

The main ingredients are a certain proportion of soil, fermented animal and poultry manure, straw, dead leaves, weeds, and vegetable roots, which are chopped and mixed in a certain proportion.

These are basically common things and are easy to configure.

After their team raises earthworms in large quantities, they can not only solve their problem of insufficient blood and flesh meal, but can even directly provide blood and flesh meal to future state-owned factories.

This is one of the main ingredients in breeding feed and the main source of protein in the feed.

Of the two breeding directions, Su Wenchen would definitely choose the first one, breeding earthworms.

Because the second type is obviously cultivated with the purpose of improving soil quality, this type of earthworm is generally raised in fields to improve soil quality.

If conditions permit, you can put some of it in the ground later.

The most important thing now is to breed earthworms, because in this era nothing is more suitable than earthworms for making blood and flesh meal for feed.

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, Jiang Li pondered for a moment.

"I don't know anything about special earthworms, but I understand that you want to raise earthworms."

“Are you going to feed earthworms to your chickens instead of kibble?”

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"It's impossible to replace it. The yield is not that high. Even if it eats dirt, it can't replace coarse grains."

"It can only be used as an auxiliary ingredient, an indispensable auxiliary ingredient."

In this way, the breeding of chickens and an important ingredient in feed for the state-owned chicken farm will be in his hands.

Even if someone at the state-owned chicken farm really disagrees with him in the future, he has enough means to counterattack.

The earthworm farm is a collective property of the brigade.

Unless it was a dimensionality reduction attack from the city or higher up, or if people from the county wanted to take advantage of the situation, Su Wenchen would not be afraid.

However, at this stage, it is impossible to launch a dimensionality reduction attack.

If time goes on for a long time, he may not be afraid!
