Chapter 140

"Maybe I'm too good-looking, and Captain Sui can't control himself." Bai Ying didn't want to tell about the entanglement between Shen Ao and Sui Bo, so she just said it casually.

As for whether Xia Lele believed it or not, that was not her concern.

There's nothing I can do, Bai Ying is just so willful.

"Uh!"

Seeing Bai Ying praising him calmly, Xia Lele couldn't help but twitch his lips. He quickly threw away the stick in his hand, raised his hands in surrender and said, "I'm not old enough to like girls yet, you can rest assured!"

Bai Ying laughed out loud immediately, "Well, I don't like men who are shorter than me either, so you can rest assured."

Xia Lele: “…”

I felt like I had suffered 10,000 critical hits. He wasn't even that old yet, so what was wrong with being a little shorter?

Seeing Xia Lele being beaten down like a rooster, Bai Ying coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Um, are you familiar with Shen Ao?"

Xia Lele answered honestly, "Although we're not very familiar with each other, we're both from the animal husbandry team. He's in charge of the piggery, and I'm in charge of the chicken coop."

"Ha, I see."

Bai Ying was now really sure that Shen Ao was in charge of the pig house, and she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

No wonder Shen Ao takes a shower so often, probably because he’s afraid of stinking her.

It's a pity that she hadn't read pig farming secrets such as "Postpartum Care for Sows" before her rebirth, otherwise she could have helped Shen Ao improve his performance, and maybe he could leave the farm earlier if he performed well.

"Doctor Bai, since you're okay, I'll be leaving now," Xia Lele said, not knowing what he had just recalled. He looked very pitiful with a gloomy face. "I have to go back to take care of the chicken coop."

"What's wrong?" Bai Ying noticed this and thought that Xia Lele was her savior after all, so she asked patiently, "Are you in trouble? If you trust me, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."

Xia Lele was a simple-minded person. When Bai Ying asked him this, he answered directly, "It's our livestock team's captain who insists on meeting production targets. He has set goals for the team's transferred personnel. If we can't complete them by the deadline, our work points will be deducted!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Bai Ying rubbed her chin.

Shen Ao is also from the animal husbandry team and should have production indicators as well. I'll ask him when I get back to see if I can help.

Now, let’s deal with the matter of this little benefactor first.

"What are the production targets for the chicken coop you are responsible for?"

"Tell me to increase the production of my chicken coop and hatch a hundred pullets within a month," Xia Lele said with a sinister look on his face. "There aren't many broody hens in the coop to begin with, and now that it's cold, the hatching rate is low. Plus, we don't know whether the chicks are male or female until they hatch. We have to hatch at least two or three hundred chicks to ensure we have a hundred pullets... Aren't you just bullying a kid like me?"

Bai Ying also felt troubled after hearing this. It takes at least 21 days for an egg to hatch into a chick, but Xia Lele's time limit is to complete the hatching within one month. It is really difficult to achieve and does not give people any chance to make mistakes.

"Can I buy a batch?"

Although individuals are not allowed to do business now and anyone dealing in materials will be labeled as speculators, there is still some room for maneuver. Country people can also sell some of the grains, vegetables and eggs they grow themselves, usually in the market or the black market in the city, and the officials will not investigate unless the people report it.

The current price of goods is six or seven cents each, an old hen costs one dollar and thirty cents per pound, and a chick is more expensive at thirty cents each. You have to be careful when choosing, otherwise if you buy a rooster you're screwed. After all, these days most people buy hens for eggs or to exchange for money.

There is a certain limit on the number of chickens that can be raised by individuals. Each family is allowed to raise one chicken with two people. Any chickens exceeding the limit must be disposed of. Therefore, many families have to take the hatched chicks to the market to sell. It is not difficult to collect 100 hens in a month.
