Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Chapter 640: Persuading Villagers to Raise Chickens

In this way, another four or five days passed. During these days, Shen Ping was very nervous because it was the critical moment to hatch the chicks.

Success or failure depends on this one move, so Shen Ping did not dare to take it lightly. She was not very reassured when she handed the eggs to Cuihua and her sister, and she came to check on them from time to time.

She and Cuihua took turns to look after the eggs, doing their best and both of them had dark circles under their eyes. That night, Shen Ping was too tired and went back to her room to rest.

Just as Shen Ping fell asleep, Cuihong came excitedly to report that some chicks had hatched. When Shen Ping heard this, she immediately lost all sleepiness.

I finally made it to this moment. I quickly put on my shoes and ran to the incubator.

When she arrived at the hatchery, she saw dozens of chicks already hatching from their shells in the tray. In some of the eggs, the chicks were pecking through the shells with their sharp beaks.

"Madam, we succeeded!" Cuihua was surprised.

"Yes, we succeeded!" Shen Ping nodded, unable to contain her joy.

She took a quick look and saw that nearly two-thirds of the chicks in each tray had hatched, and some of them were beginning to move.

The three of them stayed in the incubation room like this, and when they saw that some eggs were unable to hatch on their own, they helped to break the shells.

By the evening, nearly 500 chicks had hatched from the 460 eggs, while the others showed no signs of movement. It was basically confirmed that they were stillborn. The survival rate of this batch was as high as 90%.

Shen Ping was surprised that the first experiment would be so successful.

Shen Ping asked Cuihua and her sister to help put all the chicks on clean straw and then surround them with bamboo fences.

Some of the chicks got wet, so they used cloth to dry their hair to prevent them from getting sick.

At the same time, solar lights are hung around the chicks to keep them warm. After all, the chicks have just come out and the temperature is low, so they are easily frozen.

"Madam, what do these chicks eat?" Cuihuaer asked puzzledly.

"Don't feed it today. Give it some water tomorrow, and some cooked egg yolk the day after tomorrow!" Shen Ping knew that the chicks had just hatched and their intestines and stomachs were not well developed. And not feeding them now would not have any impact.

"Come on, it's late now, let's go to bed first! Come back in the morning to feed the chickens and give them water."

Now that the chicks have hatched, Shen Ping asked Cuihua and her sister to go to bed. At the same time, she was really exhausted during this period of time. Now she had only one thought in mind, which was to have a good sleep.

Hearing Shen Ping say this, Cuihong also felt really sleepy. She opened her mouth and yawned involuntarily: "Madam, Cuihua and I will go to bed first. You should go to bed early too!"

"Okay!" Shen Ping nodded and said with a smile: "Go ahead."

Looking at Cuihua and Cuihong, both of whom had big dark circles under their eyes and looked like national treasures, Shen Ping felt both relieved and guilty.

These two are only fourteen or fifteen years old, still children, and it has been difficult for them during this period.

The next morning, everyone heard that chicks had hatched, and they all came to see the wonder.

Si Ya ran ahead first. She just couldn't believe it no matter what. She had seen grandma use a hen to hatch chicks before.

But now my mother actually used the so-called solar lamp to hatch chicks. How can this not be surprising?

Not to mention her, even Wen and Wu found it strange.

When my mother said that she wanted to hatch chicks artificially, they also scoffed at her and thought it was absolutely impossible, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. They thought it was absolutely impossible.

But this impossible thing happened to my mother-in-law, and she turned this impossible thing into a miracle.

When everyone saw the chicks in front of them, they believed that this solar lamp could indeed hatch chicks.

"Mom, this chick is so cute, can I touch it?" Liu Ya looked at the chick with anticipation on her face.

"it is good!"

Shen Ping picked up a chick and touched it for her.

"Mom, it really moves!" Liu Ya exclaimed in surprise. The chick pecked gently on Liu Ya's palm with its mouth.

"It's probably hungry." As she said that, Liu Ya picked up the steamed bun in her hand and was about to feed it to the chick, but was stopped by Shen Ping.

The chicken's stomach is very tender right now, and it might choke if it eats this.

"Give them some water today. The chicks are still young and can't eat this yet. Let's wait a few days."

Since everyone had seen the chicks, Shen Ping then drove them all out. After all, the chicks were still very delicate, and if more than a dozen people went in, they might bring in certain germs.

For safety reasons, it is better to let them go.

Shen Ping asked the Cuihong sisters to bring warm water, and bought a material trough and a water sink in the mall and hung them above the table.

Because if the water is placed on the ground, the chicks will step on it and their feathers will get wet, and they may catch a cold and get sick.

Hanging in the air avoids this possibility.

Now that the chicks have hatched, the next thing to consider is raising them.

After breakfast, Shen Ping found the village chief and talked to him about letting the villagers raise chickens.

When the village chief heard Shen Ping say that the chicks were hatched artificially, he didn't dare to believe it. But when he heard Shen Ping's firm words, he couldn't help but be skeptical.

"Mother Dachun, we don't have much food now, who can afford to raise chickens?" The village chief's face was full of disbelief, and he thought what Shen Ping said was a fantasy.

Knowing the concerns of the village chief, Shen Ping said seriously: "Village chief, gather the villagers together and I will tell them about this. I will provide the chickens and some of the chicken feed. When they grow up, I will buy them all."

Since Shen Ping has said this, the village chief can't say anything more.

However, after hearing what Shen Ping said, he felt that it was still worth considering. After all, he didn't have to pay for the chicks himself, and Dachunniang would also provide some of the feed.

Soon, the village chief gathered everyone together for a meeting in the ancestral hall. Everyone had now developed a routine and knew that when the village chief asked everyone to hold a meeting, it must be for good news.

Over the past year or so, almost every meeting has been related to Dachun Niang. I heard that everyone is very active in the meetings.

When I got there, I saw Dachun Niang and the village chief.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the village chief started talking about Shen Ping asking everyone to raise chickens.

I thought there would be some benefits this time, but who knew it was to let everyone raise chickens, and everyone booed immediately.

"We only have enough food to eat, how can we have extra food to feed the chickens?"

"That's right! I'm afraid I'll be too hungry and eat the chicken!" Such a sentence was heard in the crowd, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha……"

Shen Ping knew that this was not only a joke, but also the truth.

It seems that if we want to truly dispel the villagers' concerns, we can only supply all the chicken feed ourselves and deduct the fees when we purchase the chickens later.
