Busy Farming In the Last Days

The incubator has been operating continuously for 20 days. According to expectations, these two days should be almost the days when the chicks came out of their shells.

Ji Cha endured the discomfort in his buttocks and woke up specially early, and stayed in the small storeroom where the eggs were hatched. After a while, stand up and take a close look at whether there is any movement in the incubator.

At about noon, the outermost egg finally changed first. Ji Cha saw a little chicken pecking hard at the broken egg and squeezing a head out of it, his whole body still a little wet.

Ji Cha didn't dare to go up to help, but quickly turned around and turned on the air conditioner in the room. The weather is now obviously cool, and the newborn chicks must not be directly exposed to outdoor temperatures.

The warehouse is not large, and it is heated quickly. And after the first little chicken made a crisp and tender cry, many of the remaining eggs began to slowly change. A total of more than 60 little chickens came out at noon, and waited until the sky was getting dark. At that time, a total of seventy chickens came out. The other egg season teas have not moved for the time being, they are still in the incubator waiting for subsequent changes.

And for the seventy chicks harvested that day, Ji Cha took out the clean food troughs and sinks that were prepared early. The chicks eat a lot at the beginning, and their weight can reach twice their birth weight within seven days, and they can reach three times their weight in half a month. It is not a problem if they do not need to be five or six times their weight in one month. Among them, feed is very important.

When the chickens are farmed, the area is not large, about 50 or 60 chickens can be raised per square meter. Season Tea takes a small iron cage that is layered up and down, and puts newspapers in it, and the feathers are all Put the dried chickens in two batches. When it got dark, the chicks had their first meal of the day. The crushed corn kernels and millet kernels were immediately looted as soon as they were put into the trough.

Ji Cha has been busy for a day without touching the ground. Seeing this scene, he can't say much comfort, and he almost laughs from ear to ear. You know, now there are seventy chicks, and there will be more than seventy broilers in the future.

After being settled here, Jicha at the egg incubator still dare not relax. After all, it was a machine bought online, and he himself was half-hearted. Many things were half-knowledgeable, and he had to spend more time preparing and taking care to make up for it.

The rest of the family today is not as easy as Ji Cha.

Zhang Xing started refitting various mechanical vehicles and equipment outside the door early in the morning. He forgot to drink water when he was so busy, he stood up and almost had low blood sugar.

Many of the things planted in the factory have reached the fruiting stage. Weeding and spreading medicine and loosening the soil are enough for the three busy feet of the Wang family to not touch the ground.

The remaining Zhang Qinqin and grandmother are busy with other workers in various food processing in the factory.

After Liang Jincheng stayed at home for a while yesterday, he left again this morning at around midnight, and he didn't see him back when everyone was sitting together for dinner in the evening.

If anyone at home is idle, he is only three-year-old Xiaochao.

But I didn't expect that even Xiao Chao was very busy today.

"The apple I ate today has a bug's eye." Xiaochao said during dinner, "Uncle Cha, is the apple going to go bad?"

Ji Cha, who was in a hurry to pick up rice and prepared to go back to the warehouse, was taken aback. He really hadn't seen Apple in the past two days.

There are more than 30 fruits left on the apple trees one after another. Ji Cha was originally intended for everyone to eat every day, but I didn’t expect Xiaochao to remind me to run over and watch it. The apples did not seem to have started. So watery.

After dinner, my grandmother cut two apples to eat, and Ji Cha wrinkled her brows as she bit down.

Not because it is not tasty, but because it is too sweet. Season Tea didn't think of eating apples for four or five days, and felt that the apples seemed to be twice as sweet as before. Apple just accidentally splashed on the hand and it felt sticky.

If this is directly made into applesauce, almost no sugar is added. The shelf life of applesauce is about three months, which just solves the current urgent need.

Ji Cha hurriedly wrote the item [Making Apple Sauce] in his notepad, waiting for the little chicken to finish his work before taking time to do it.

He woke up and slept in the chicken storeroom all night, but the results were not satisfactory. Only five of the remaining 30 eggs were broken, which means that the success rate of this incubation is only about 75%, which is far lower than the 90% promised by online sellers.

It's just that Jicha has no place to complain now, and can't give people a bad review on the Internet. In addition, taking a step back, one hundred eggs can produce seventy-five chicks, and Ji Cha cannot say that this egg incubator is completely unreliable. After all, it took some time to collect eggs, and he did not select the dead eggs in advance.

As Zhang Xing refitted all kinds of mechanical tools, the large farmland behind the factory building was gradually cultivated and repaired. Modern agriculture has been able to achieve off-season planting. The rising trend of many crops grown in greenhouses in the tea plantations also shows that similar seed planting can be carried out in the environment of S City.

The biggest problem of the S base is the lack of various vegetable crops, and the staple food is piled up like a mountain.

Therefore, the military's intention is to let Ji Cha immediately start preparing for planting matters. Several technicians who could not be said to come are also picked up by the army's vehicles in the morning and evening to discuss various planting matters with Ji Cha.

They are technicians, but they are all young people, and there are only two people in total. There is a specialization in the technical industry, and the fields that the two people are familiar with actually don't involve much in the cultivation of various crops, but this is much better than knowing one question and three things. When Ji Cha and the two of them went to select workers to work together, they also selected those workers who were a little bit older, were born in the countryside, or had experience in rural life, and they weren't the kind who didn't even know how long the potatoes were.

Although the production and construction of the base in S City occasionally went through twists and turns, the overall situation is moving in a good direction. The people on the base do not have to worry about their own safety, and they have returned to a socialized lifestyle.

But for those who are still struggling to make a living outside alone, the suffering and fear of the last days have not diminished at all, but have increased day by day.

Liang Jincheng parked his car in front of a large supermarket, and the people in the car quickly jumped out of the car after looking around. The surrounding zombies immediately gathered after hearing the movement here. The supernaturalists didn't care about the approach of the zombies. Each of them had their own tools in their hands. Faced with the attack of the zombies, they raised their hands and dropped them almost like cutting a large piece of leeks.

"Today's tasks are two, one is to check if there are survivors, the other is the surrounding terrain, and the third is whether there are any factors affecting the safety of the base. Finally, everyone pay attention to safety and don't be careless."

After Liang Jincheng said these words in a deep voice, everyone nodded and left, and it didn't take long for the surrounding environment to merge into one. In a secluded place, a pair of greedy or fearful eyes followed them closely.
