A trace of nostalgia appeared on He Yan's face, and he said, "I learned it from my grandma. My grandma is 80 years old. She gets up at six in the morning and works from morning to nine in the evening. My grandma is responsible for the cooking and hygiene of our family.

She goes to bed at 9:30 pm sharp and is a very regular person. She cooks delicious food. I have been following her in the kitchen since I was a child and have gradually learned some cooking skills.

Jiang Tang's eyes were full of surprise and admiration: "You're over eighty and still cooking."

He Yan smiled helplessly.

"She is in such good health." Jiang Tang sighed sincerely.

As they chatted happily, they quickly prepared a delicious dinner. At the table, the three of them ate happily, laughing and talking non-stop.

Because the two of them were there, Jiang Tang couldn't feed the cats and dogs.

Now the two little ones can only eat their leftovers.

I would secretly feed them some food when they were not around.

That night, Sister Mei Zi also came early.

The next morning, Captain Luo hurriedly found Jiang Tang with a look of excitement on his face. "Secretary Jiang, Accountant Wang has already finished counting the chickens. He's just waiting for them to be delivered. They can be taken away at any time."

Jiang Tang was about to go out, so he walked side by side with Captain Luo and said, "So fast, okay, we'll deliver it to them in a few days."

"I asked Accountant Wang to do some statistics yesterday. Every household in our village is allowed to own a maximum of four chickens. Many people in the village raise chickens, so there are 500 of them that can be sold. As soon as we heard about the chickens being available for sale yesterday, many families wanted to exchange them for something."

"More than 500." Jiang Tang pinched his chin and thought for a moment: "It's not far from the Mid-Autumn Festival. Next time I go back, I'll go to the farmers' market and ask."

"Okay, last time your mother came to buy chickens, I didn't pay much attention to it. Now you've sold more than 20 chickens. I've discovered that raising chickens is also a good way to make money. Mr. Jiang, what do you think of this?"

"Of course it's good, Captain. We have a lot of mountains here, so it's a good place to raise chickens. I tell you, raising chickens is definitely a very good project with good market prospects. As long as we raise them well, we won't have trouble selling them."

Captain Luo nodded as he walked, agreeing deeply: "I think it's feasible too. I plan to discuss it with the old secretary and raise a hundred of them to test the waters next year. If it works, we can expand the scale later."

As they were talking, they came to the house of a rabbit breeder. In the yard, several rabbits were happily jumping around in their cages. Uncle Zhang, the rabbit breeder, was sitting nearby, sorting some hay in his hands.

Captain Luo, beaming, spoke first, "Uncle Zhang, I'm busy! Your rabbits look really plump and healthy. They're so well-fed!"

Uncle Zhang looked up and saw Captain Luo and Jiang Tang. He quickly stood up and responded with a smile, "Hey, Captain Luo, Comrade Jiang, come in and sit down! This rabbit needs to be taken care of meticulously. We dare not be careless at all."

Jiang Tang walked into the yard, squatted down, observed the rabbit carefully, and said, "Uncle Zhang, you raise rabbits so well. If you have any tips, you must share them with the villagers."

Uncle Zhang scratched his head and smiled innocently, "There's no real trick. I just have to be more attentive. For example, the rabbit grass has to be fresh and clean, otherwise the rabbits will get sick easily. I have to go to the fields and cut the grass every day."

Speaking of grass, Jiang Tang asked again: "Can the grass in our village be supplied to rabbits now?"

Uncle Zhang said, "Enough, of course it's not enough. There are only a few dozen rabbits in our village right now. By autumn, there will be hundreds. Even if there are hundreds, it will be enough to eat."

Captain Luo smiled and said, "Even if our village doesn't have enough, Zhangwan Brigade still has plenty. We can go there and harvest some."

After seeing the rabbits at Uncle Zhang's house, Captain Luo took Jiang Tang to other houses, where the rabbits were all well raised.

There was a family that was rather lazy, thin and weak. Captain Luo got furious on the spot and threatened to take back the rabbit chicks from their family if they didn't raise them well.

After coming out, the originally angry Luo Fengquan sighed and said helplessly: "At the beginning, I just saw that the Cai family was in trouble, so I let them support him first. Cai Sheng is the only laborer in their family. His old mother is bedridden and the child is less than a year old. My wife is at home taking care of the child, so she really doesn't have much time to mow the grass."

Jiang Tang said, "The village is planning to expand its livestock farming. I'm afraid it won't be enough just to cut grass every day. We're thinking of encouraging everyone to cut more grass now, dry it, and store it. What do you think?"

Captain Luo thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a great idea! I'm worried about that, too. Sometimes I'm so busy that I don't even have time to mow the grass. If I could stock up on some, I'd feel much more at ease."

Jiang Tang continued, "Besides rabbit grass, do you think we need to buy some feed to go with it? We'd like to find a feed factory and order some."

Captain Luo said, "Comrade Jiang, that's a good idea! The feed is nutritious, and if you feed it occasionally, the rabbits will grow faster. However, feed is expensive, right? How much can we afford to raise so many rabbits in the future?"

Jiang Tang said hurriedly: "We can ask the factory to see if it is okay for us to provide the materials and just let them help with the processing.

You see, in autumn, besides grass, there are corn leaves, bean stalks, and peanut stalks that rabbits can eat. If we mix them together and make feed, there will be quite a bit."

Captain Luo felt that this could be done, so he asked Jiang Tang to pay more attention to it. Recently, he mobilized everyone to cut and store more grass.

Jiangtang visited several shops and found that some of their rabbits were already ready for shearing.

Captain Luo plans to find someone who is good with scissors to collect rabbit hair at home.

With the harvest, Jiang Tang and Captain Luo felt more confident about the development of the village's breeding industry, and finally the topic returned to the chicken breeding project.

I happened to meet the old secretary at the entrance of the village, saw the two of them, and heard them talking about raising chickens.

The old secretary nodded, his expression serious: "Raising chickens is also feasible. As long as we can sell them abroad, our brigade can earn quite a bit of income from these side businesses alone. Even if we can't keep up with the grain supply, we can use the money from these side businesses to exchange for grain."

Jiang Tang agreed with the old secretary's words: "Old Secretary, we have many mountains and dense forests here, and the natural environment is suitable for raising chickens. Besides, there is a huge demand for chicken and eggs in the market right now. As long as we raise them well, we will definitely have no problem selling them."

The old secretary pondered for a moment and asked, "Where do the chicks come from? This is the key."

Captain Luo quickly replied, "Don't worry about that. Every spring, there are many brooding hens in our village. We can exchange some eggs from other villages.

You can also buy chicks from hens in other villages."

"There's also a breeding site. We've tentatively chosen the woods west of the village. It's at the foot of the mountain, high up, next to the water, and a fair distance from the village, so it's just right."

The old secretary nodded slightly. "The site is well chosen. As for the breeding technology, how are you going to solve it?"
