Chapter 72: A New Breed of Native Chicken
Seeing that Zhao Baliang just patted the little gangster on the shoulder and went out, Director Wu was a little confused. However, Zhao Baliang didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but let Director Wu's hanging heart go down.
Because he had to rush back to Lushui Village, Zhao Baliang said hello to Director Wu and left.
Back in Lushui Village, Zhao Baliang began to think of a way to find a place to plant Chinese medicinal materials. Li Shiyun has already said that if he dares to cut off the supply of medicinal materials to Li Shiyun, she will come to the house to make trouble! Li Shiyun's character, Zhao Baliang still knows, he doesn't dare to really annoy Li Shiyun.
"Headache!" Rubbing his head, Zhao Baliang really didn't have any good way. The more than 100 acres of understory land that can be contracted in Tianfeng Mountain have all been contracted by Zhao Baliang, and there is no other understory land in Lushui Village!
"Dad, you said that you can grow medicinal herbs in the ground, is it okay?" Zhao Baliang found Zhao Xiangqian and asked him. Zhao Baliang only knew that these medicinal herbs could be planted under the forest, but he didn't know if it was also possible in the ground!
Zhao Xiangqian did not answer Zhao Baliang immediately, but was thinking. It wasn't until a cigarette was finished that Zhao Xiangqian said: "It should be okay, and the soil quality in the field is much better than that in the mountains!"
After speaking, Zhao looked forward at Zhao Baliang and asked, "Why are you asking this? Isn't it good to grow medicinal herbs on the mountain?"
"Dad, that's the ......" Saying that, Zhao Baliang told Zhao Xiangqian about his new business plan, and then said: "However, Shiyun said that I must provide enough medicinal materials, and I can't help it!"
After listening to Zhao Baliang's new business plan, Zhao Xiangqian did not express his opinion. He also couldn't say whether this business plan was good or not, so he simply didn't express his opinion. However, it is possible to grow medicinal herbs in the ground!
"In this way, let's try it tomorrow, and if it works, we will plant it in the ground. Zhao Xiangqian said. Anyway, the crops in the field have already been harvested, and the winter wheat has not yet been planted, so there is no delay!
"But, that's not enough!" Zhao Baliang said helplessly. His family only has a few acres of land, how can it be enough to grow medicinal herbs!
"Try it first, if it works, let's see if we can rent the villagers' land. Zhao Xiangqian said, lighting another cigarette.
Seeing Zhao Xiangqian one after another, Zhao Baliang said with some worry: "Dad, smoke less, hurt your body!"
"Okay, okay, how many years have I been, I would have quit a long time ago!" Zhao Xiangqian also knew that smoking was not good for his health, but after smoking for decades, how could it be so easy to quit!
Early the next morning, Zhao Baliang and Zhao Xiangqian set off, and the two went straight to their own fields and began to get busy. Now is the season of farming, the villagers basically have nothing to do, and they are also curious to see Zhao Ba and his son going to work in the fields!
"It's not idle, it's idle, just plant something. Zhao Xiangqian said casually, planting medicinal herbs is a big secret in the family, and Zhao Xiangqian naturally won't say it.
"O forward, this land is like a man, and if you don't let him rest for a while, he will lose his temper. "When farming is slack, it's not so much a slack as it is a way to recuperate and accumulate nutrients for the next year's planting.
"It's okay, just grow some wild vegetables. Zhao Xiangqian said, and walked quickly towards the ground with Zhao Baliang.
The land of the Zhao Eight family is not much, only more than three acres. Zhao Baliang plans to plant all the medicinal herbs today, and then water them with the Ganlin Secret Technique to see the effect!
Father and son worked all day, until it was completely dark, and they came back from the field. Although they had worked for a day, Zhao Baliang and Zhao Xiangqian did not feel particularly tired. They eat vegetables watered by Ganlin's secret technique every day, and their bodies are naturally strengthened unconsciously. Especially Zhao Baliang, not only that, but also "Shennong's Materia Medica" to nourish his body!
It takes about a month for medicinal herbs to grow from planting to growing, and during this period, Zhao Baliang will often go to the field to have a look. The growth of medicinal herbs is still very good, and it is faintly better than on the mountain.
Although the land on the mountain is fertile, it is still not as good as the ripe field, whether it is nutrients or other aspects!
The initial experiment was considered successful, and now we have to wait a month for these herbs to mature, and then we can really know whether it is feasible to grow herbs in the ground! Of course, from the current situation, this method is still feasible!
In order to maintain the provision of medicinal materials for Li Shiyun, Zhao Baliang had to divide a separate place in the chicken farm for planting medicinal materials, otherwise Miss Li would not have to find Zhao Baliang to work hard!
When Zhao Baliang focused on planting crops in the field, the local chickens on the chicken farm were also growing up day by day. I don't know if it's because of eating those Chinese medicinal materials, these native chickens grow very fast.
"Looking at this situation, it can basically be sold out of the cage. Zhou Ting has been in charge of the chicken farm, and naturally knows the growth of local chickens very well: "It's not strange that you say it's strange, these local chickens are growing very fast!
"There's nothing wrong with that!" Zhao Baliang said, he guessed that the chickens grew fast, which might be related to the Ganlin secret technique, when Zhao Baliang performed the Ganlin secret technique, these local chickens would also come over to receive the nourishment of the Ganlin secret technique, plus they ate the medicinal materials that were watered and grown by the Ganlin secret technique, and it was natural for them to grow fast!
These local chickens grow too fast, and Zhou Ting is worried that these local chickens may not have the taste of the previous local chickens. After listening to Zhou Ting's worries, Zhao Baliang also felt reasonable: "Then let's kill a few local chickens at noon today!"
Lunch is made by the chicken farm workers, and the local chicken stewed in a large pot can smell a fragrance from afar.
Before the meal started, the workers of the chicken farm began to swallow their saliva, Zhao Baliang and Zhou Ting were the same, this time the local chicken, not only has the fragrance of chicken, but also the fragrance of herbs, the two flavors are mixed together, people can't help but want to eat!
"The local chickens in our chicken farm must be delicious!" Zhou Ting said while swallowing.
Nodding again and again, Sun Guilan said: "I think so too, before the rice is cooked, I start drooling!"
When the food was served, the workers didn't need to be urged, so they couldn't wait to get started. Zhao Baliang also took the dishes and chopsticks and sat down, ready to eat.
Sandwiched a piece of local chicken and put it in his mouth, Zhao Baliang couldn't help but want to praise it. Fat but not greasy, with a fresh fragrance of herbs, the aroma of chicken lingers on the tip of the tongue, it is really delicious in the world!
"Director, what kind of chicken are we raising? This meat is so delicious. Su Guang gulped down and asked vaguely.
"Hehe, this is a high-tech variety I introduced from Jiangcheng. "Zhao Baliang deliberately fooled Su Guang, otherwise it would be really hard to explain, why this native chicken has grown up in only two months, and the meat is so delicious!
"Factory director, can you send us a few chicks to raise them at home and eat them for the New Year!" Su Guang looked at Zhao Baliang, his eyes full of anticipation!
"What are you doing with that energy?" Zhao Baliang said: "When the New Year comes, one person will send you a few local chickens as a welfare for the New Year!"
"Thank you, factory director!" Su Guang and the other workers said excitedly. Zhao Baliang, the director of the factory, didn't have to say anything, he didn't say anything about them, and the wages he paid were also high. For the New Year's holidays, benefits will also be issued!
Having personally tasted the local chickens from their own chicken farms, Zhao Baliang and Zhou Ting are full of confidence in their own local chickens!
"Do you say that you want to give our local chicken a resounding name?" After eating, Zhao Baliang and Zhou Ting sat in the office to discuss the sale of local chicken.
Zhou Ting is not very good at naming the matter, and the two discussed for a long time, but they didn't have any good ideas. Although they didn't come up with a good name, the two were very satisfied with the quality of the chicken.
"I think the price must not be lower than the current sales price of our local chickens. Zhou Ting said. This kind of local chicken tastes obviously better than the previous local chicken, I don't know how many times, and it can even be said that there is a gap between the sky and the ground!
"Of course it won't work!" Zhao Baliang immediately said: "You don't want to think about how many medicinal herbs these ruined chickens have eaten me, that thing is always valuable!"
"Eight...... Factory director, the wild vegetables that our local chickens eat are traditional Chinese medicine?" Hearing Zhao Baliang say this, Sun Guilan knew that what had been planted in the orchard was not wild vegetables, but medicinal herbs.
"Uh...... Sister Guilan, this is the secret of our orchard, you can't tell it outside. Zhao Baliang also said it in a hurry just now, and generally speaking, when they had a meeting, they did not shy away from Sun Guilan.
"Factory director, don't worry, I will never say anything outside!" Sun Guilan nodded vigorously and said. Of course, she knows, this is the chicken farm's biggest secret. Dare to love these local chickens grew up eating medicinal herbs, no wonder they are so delicious!
"If the price is too high, how can we sell to the outside world? We don't have any sales channels now. Zhou Ting said with some concern. If it is just the price of ordinary local chickens, there are naturally many sales channels, but once the price goes up, this channel will naturally be narrow!
Waving his hand, Zhao Baliang said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have already calculated it." This matter has to trouble Sister Liu!" Zhao Baliang had already thought about it, with Liu Yun's status in the Jiangcheng catering industry, it was too easy to eat these local chickens.
With the sale of this first batch of local chickens and the fame, Zhao Baliang believes that it will not be long before customers will have to come to buy them in person, and he will definitely not need to worry about the sales!
Zhou Ting also knew that only Liu Yun could help with this matter, after all, they didn't have their own channels!
In the evening, Zhao Baliang called Liu Yun, and as soon as he received Zhao Baliang's call, Liu Yun immediately asked: "Baliang, what about the high-quality local chickens you promised your sister?
"Sister Liu, you also know that it takes time for this native chicken to grow up, but now, the native chicken has grown up, and the effect is greatly beyond my expectations!" Zhao Baliang hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, I will personally send two to Sister Liu to taste!"
Listening to Zhao Baliang boasting about his native chicken on the phone, Liu Yun couldn't help but quip: "Okay, okay, I know that your domestic chicken is delicious, but you have to have a limit to boasting!"
"Sister Liu, I'm not boasting, I don't believe you wait for me to send it to you tomorrow, I promise to surprise you!" Zhao Baliang said confidently!
