1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 8 I am such a naming genius!

Boom!
The gong sounded to signal the start of work, and families began to go out one after another.

"The youngest one is still picking grass for pigs today!" The eldest brother Su Wenzhang looked at Su Wenchen with disappointment.

"Don't worry about him, Boss. He'll get anxious once he finishes eating his food!" Father Su said nonchalantly.

Su Wenchen waved his hand.

"Brother, I have my own plans. I am really studying the unique chicken-raising technology. If you don't believe me, wait a few days until it is stable and you can see!"

Father Su replied unhappily.

"You? You feed the chickens a bunch of messy things and make them lay extra eggs. If the chickens are eaten to death, I wonder what you'll eat in the future!"

Apparently, Mr. Su did not think that the five eggs this morning were Su Wenchen’s credit.

Su Wenchen first fed the old hen that had been eagerly waiting with the feed he had prepared yesterday, then picked up the backpack and went out.

Prepare to complete today's work points task first.

There is no other way. In this era, it is indeed possible to not go to work, but for that you have to ask for leave from the captain of your team!
But Su Wenchen knew that unless it was urgent, their team leader would definitely not agree.

Fortunately, their brigade also has a pig farm, which provides them with a low-work-point job of collecting grass for the pigs.

Otherwise, he would have to go weed the fields with those old women!

Along the way, I watched the members carrying tools to the fields.

Many people greeted Su Wenchen.

"Hey, is A-Chen ready to go to work? Looks like we still have to separate. He's grown up so fast!"

"Haven't I been working all along? Cutting grass for pigs is also an important job for our brigade. Isn't the money we make every year contributed by those pigs? This is all my credit!"

"Since you said so, then you can go and pick grass for the pigs from now on. I'll give you these two work points, okay?"

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, the other party immediately started yelling.

"Why should I do this? I won't do this kind of work that only pays two work points." Obviously, it doesn't matter if she is a little tired, but it is not okay to have fewer work points, because work points represent food! Her family, young and old, all depend on him!

"If you don't want to, just shut up. I just saw that no one else wanted to do this kind of low-paying job, so I sacrificed myself to do it for you!"

After saying that.

Su Wenchen walked in front with his head held high, as if to say, "I chose this low-paying job just for everyone!"

The people around looked at each other.

? ? ? ?
Didn't this kid volunteer to go pick grass for pigs because he didn't want to do hard work? Why does he look so proud?
But after thinking about it, they really wouldn't be willing to go out to collect grass for pigs every day. Every family has a big family to feed, and the two work points they get from collecting grass for pigs probably won't be enough to feed themselves, let alone support their family.

After Su Wenchen collected two baskets of pig grass, he found Li Xiangdong, the accountant and scorer.

"Uncle Li, I've finished cutting the pig grass, please check it out!"

"No need to check, just send it to Zhao Dabao. I'll make a note of it for you. I didn't expect that after the separation, you've actually become more diligent. But your diligence is limited. After all, you can earn five work points by pulling weeds with those old women."

Su Wenchen said with disdain.

"I am a grown man, how can I hang out with those nagging old women? They will affect my masculinity. By the way, Uncle Li, we have separated, so please don't make mistakes in recording my work points. If you do, I will go to your house to eat in the future!"

"Get lost! I heard from your mom that you only eat omelettes in the morning. Who can afford to feed you?"

Su Wenchen sent the pig feed to the pigpen and staggered back home. Since he didn't have a grinding machine, he had to grind all the auxiliary materials by hand.

He didn't grind much stone powder and bone powder yesterday, so today he was going to grind up all the remaining bone powder. He worked for a while.

I looked at the sun. It was noon and time for lunch.

Su Wenchen cooked a boiled egg, and after eating it he felt sleepy, so he took a nap. After getting up, he went to the vegetable garden for a walk. Unfortunately, there was nothing to eat except green onions at this time, because they had just been planted!
After crushing the two large bones, we got nearly two pounds of bone meal, which was mixed with stone powder, shell powder, clam meat powder, bran, and cornmeal.

That should be enough to feed for a month.

After feeding the hens, Su Wenchen suddenly had some free time and discovered that traveling to this era didn’t seem to be all bad.

At least the work is really leisurely. Even for those who go to work normally, the working hours are about eight hours a day, basically from 8 am to 5 pm. Except for the days of autumn harvest, there will be no overtime at other times.

Of course, the work content is definitely more tiring than most of the work in the previous life. However, if you are as thick-skinned as Su Wenchen and specifically look for this kind of low-work-point job, that’s another story.

Su Wenchen felt that after solving the food problem, this era seemed pretty good for him.

At least it’s more comfortable than working overtime and staying up late every day in my previous life!
evening.

Workers are going home one after another.

Su Wenchen walked to the chicken coop and reached his hand in. One, two, three, six.

"Wow, there are six of them. Not bad, it seems that one of the chickens got lucky today and laid three eggs."

I wonder if I can see which hen laid these three eggs.

After observing for a while, I finally found new situation on the panel of the old hen with its head held high.

[Laying Chicken LV1 Unnamed]

Current status: Proud
New breeding direction: Laying chicken LV2, after improvement the egg production rate is 2% for single eggs, 50% for double eggs, 40% for triple eggs, 8% for quadruple eggs, and the daily food consumption is increased by 20%.

[Level 2 laying hen breeding feed: add 5% pine needle powder, others omitted]

Introduction: The new food is so delicious. After eating it, I have more energy to lay eggs!
Su Wenchen didn't expect that a chicken's heart could be so rich.

After looking at the breeding direction of level 2 laying hens, the chance of laying two eggs has decreased, but the chance of laying three eggs has increased.

However, he took a look at the proportion of level 2 feed and found that there was an additional medicinal powder, but there was no change in other aspects!

Pine needle powder? I guess you can just pick it from pine trees.

However, there don’t seem to be many pine trees here. You can go ask your dad. It seems that pine trees are not rare trees.

Look at the old hen with its head held high and grab a handful of prepared feed.

"You are a great contributor today, so I will give you an extra meal, but first I will give you a name!"

"You keep holding your head high, so I'll call you a giraffe from now on! This one keeps running around, so I'll call you ADHD!"

"And the two of you sisters who always stay in your nest and don't like to move, we'll call you Big Lazy Egg and Little Lazy Bug, and the one who always combs her feathers and loves to show off, we'll call you Shrimp Head Chicken."

After Su Wenchen finished speaking.

The panel seemed to be able to hear his voice, and all the names he had just named were updated at the same time.

Su Wenchen looked at the new name on the panel and nodded slightly.

Not bad, not bad! I am really an ordinary little genius in naming!
In addition, this also made him very sure that the golden finger was bound to himself, not to the chicken!
