Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

A video appeared on the sky screen, showing countless mature corns being sent into the factory. After coming out, they were turned into countless feeds and then bought home by farmers.

The ingredients in the feed directly broke the defense of the people outside the sky. Most of it was corn, soybean cake, bran, sorghum, etc.

These are their daily rations, so why are they using them to feed chickens? They were also kindly told to add less sorghum because the chickens might get constipated if they ate it.

People can’t eat these freely now.

"This modern chicken farm can produce a batch of chickens about once a month, and the price is very cheap. We usually eat about the same kind of chickens, so of course we have to eat something good at the buffet."

"Of course, in addition to this kind of chicken, there are also pheasants and free-range chickens. These two types are generally used by some large restaurants. The free-range chickens at home are similar to what people eat, and they are raised on leftovers."

The people outside the sky remained silent for a long time. There was no leftover food at home, and most families were lucky enough to find ways to fill their stomachs.

As for pheasants, the wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains can eat them all.

Daqin

Li Si wrote down everything on the sky curtain, looked at it carefully, and found that it was unlikely that the Qin Dynasty would be realized. They couldn't even build a modern chicken farm.

How much iron would it take to make those rows of chicken coops? Although they used blast furnaces to smelt some iron, it was used to make armor and swords for the army.

As for the food in later generations, the sky curtain had appeared before. Increasing food production would not be accomplished overnight. Their ship searching for high-yield food had just set out.

Without food, what can be used as feed?

In the final analysis, we must quickly get back the high-yield grain. With grain, Daqin will be able to develop better.

……

Qi Cheng continued, "Some people may think that if you raise more chickens, you'll naturally lay more eggs. But in later generations, there's a difference. Chickens raised for meat and chickens raised for eggs are different."

"Of course, laying hens only last about two years. Once they've passed their peak egg-laying period, they'll be disposed of. Since they're not raised specifically for meat, they'll be cheaper."

"For example, whole chickens sold in small markets can cost around 10 or 20 yuan. Some people also buy them home, raise them for a while, and then sell them as free-range chickens."

"But the price is still far from that of real free-range chicken."

Layers? Broilers?

The people outside the sky simply don't understand.

"Father, that means that the chickens specially bred for laying eggs in later generations should be similar to their various fruits, and they are all raised bit by bit."

Li Tai roughly understood what it meant. It was to pick out those chickens that could lay eggs and slowly cultivate new varieties. However, he was a little puzzled by the fact that they had only been raised for two years.

Raising it for a few more years does not mean it will lay more eggs.

At this time, a laying hen can live for a long time. Many brothers even sued each other when dividing the property because of a laying hen.

Li Shimin felt that this kind of chicken farming might not be possible in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Tai thought that they could first select the right breeds and then slowly cultivate them.

Li Chengqian also agreed with Li Tai's idea. The two decided to start by selecting from the chickens raised in the palace, and they would definitely be able to pick out a breed suitable for laying eggs.

……

"In fact, specialized chicken farms like ours haven't been around that long, only about 40 or 50 years ago, and it seems the early chicken breeds couldn't be produced domestically."

"This chicken farm was originally built for export. Foreigners only want chicken legs and breasts, nothing else, and the price they offer is very reasonable."

"In our country, all parts of the chicken can be made into delicious dishes, such as the spicy stir-fried chicken offal in Sichuan Province and the chicken racks in Northeast China, so chicken farms can make a lot of money."
