When the chicks are young, they can only eat some fine grains. After they are 20 days old, they can be fed some insects appropriately.
The chicks don’t eat much. Even if there are four of them together, they can’t eat much food in 20 days.
As long as they grow up safely and lay a few more eggs, your investment will be recovered.
Thinking of this, Su Nian no longer felt sorry for the food.
After settling these chicks, Su Nian finally remembered to ask Jing Mo, "Did you find something to do? What is it?"
"It's about building a breeding base. Studies have shown that if new seeds have enough light, they can produce higher yields and have a shorter maturity period.
Now more than half of the underground city is empty and no one lives there. It would be a waste to leave it there. We can turn it into a breeding base and plant the seeds of new species there."
Su Nian listened carefully and found a problem, "That means that your work and Wu Yue's work actually complement each other!"
"No!" Jing Mo denied it directly.
Su Nian smiled without saying anything, but said in her heart, it would be strange if it wasn't!
The breeding base has been built, but how can we sow seeds if the soil issue is not resolved?
So although these two people are arguing with each other, what they are doing are actually similar.
The success of one person can lead to the success of another.
As long as one of them fails to get the job done, it cannot be considered a success.
Even though Jing Mo denies it, he must understand this in his heart.
Su Nian also understood Jing Mo's character. He didn't admit it, so Su Nian didn't say much on this topic. "We can't build a house for growing mushrooms by ourselves. If Captain Kong is not busy, you can tell him to help find people and materials to build the house for us! We will definitely pay you enough."
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll talk to him later."
With Jing Mo in contact with Kong Jianming, Su Nian naturally didn't have to worry anymore.
Taking out his iPad, Su Nian started watching the video on growing mushrooms again.
Growing mushrooms is different from raising chickens.
For four chickens, all you have to do is provide them with a safe environment, take care of their food and water, and then wait for them to grow up on their own.
But when it comes to growing mushrooms, there are so many things that require you to do yourself.
But I have never done this before, so I still need to study and research it carefully.
Su Nian didn't want to waste things, let alone time, so he planned to study hard and start only when he was confident enough.
Jing Mo quickly discussed the matter of building a house with Kong Jianming, and Kong Jianming agreed immediately.
But finding materials takes time, and I definitely can’t get them today. I’ll have to wait at least another day.
Su Nian was not in a hurry at first, and of course he could wait for a day or two.
During the day, when Su Nian heard the tender cries of the chicks, she didn't take it too seriously.
But at night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Su Nian felt the magic of the little chick when she was lying in bed to sleep.
It was the middle of the night, and I didn't know where these little chicks got so much energy from. Not only did they not sleep, they also kept chirping.
Su Nian rolled over on the bed for a few times, and with the dim light of the night lamp, she looked towards Jing Mo, "Why don't we just cook them instead of waiting for them to lay eggs!"
Jing Mo knew that Su Nian was just saying it casually, but he still cooperated. "But they are too small now. Even if they are cooked, there will not be much meat. It is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. There is no way to make back the money."
Su Nian sighed.
Even if Jing Mo didn't say it, she would understand it.
But these little chicks are so noisy!
Just as I was thinking about it, the living room outside suddenly became quiet.
Su Nian listened and waited for a long time, but they didn't call out again. Then he showed a satisfied expression, "That's right!"
It seems that these little chicks have a strong sense of crisis. As soon as she said she wanted to cook them, they became quiet.
"Very well behaved!" Su Nian praised. "I decided to name them "Guai". The rooster will be called "Da Guai" and the others will be called "Er Guai, San Guai and Si Guai". What do you think?"
Jing Mo laughed softly, "I think it's fine!"
Raising chickens requires naming them, which is full of a sense of ritual!
Su Nian didn’t care whether the four chicks could recognize their own names or not. As long as she was happy calling them, nothing else mattered!
Two days later, Kong Jianming came in person with his men.
There were quite a few people following behind Kong Jianming.
These people were either carrying wood, or carrying square pipes and iron sheets.
With all the tools, enough materials and enough people working, a large room was built after a few hours.
The house has no windows, only a tin door.
As for those big round logs, they were used to grow robes. Kong Jianming also asked people to help carry the logs into the house.
Su Nian walked around the room and couldn't help but sigh that there is strength in numbers.
With so many people, it took less than half a day to complete all the preparations needed for growing mushrooms.
For the rest of the things, no one else can help you, so you can only figure it out on your own.
Jing Mo and Kong Jianming had already discussed the food needed to buy materials, as well as the labor fees of these people.
After inspecting the house, Jing Mo handed the prepared food to Kong Jianming.
After Kong Jianming brings his men back, we will make the unified distribution.
Before Kong Jianming left, he asked Su Nian, "Do you know how to grow crops? Do you want me to find someone to teach you?"
There are also many mushrooms grown in the base.
However, there are not many species, just two or three extremely common species, and the production quantity is not too high.
After all, neither the environment nor the equipment are comparable to those before the apocalypse.
Without the ability to expand the scale, production will naturally not increase.
Those who can eat mushrooms are all capable people.
Most people just eat insect powder to survive, and they are reluctant to even replace whole grains, let alone vegetables like mushrooms.
Although Su Nian knew that Kong Jianming meant well, she still refused.
"Thank you, Captain Kong, but that's not necessary."
Hearing Su Nian's refusal, Kong Jianming did not ask any more questions, "You are all smart people. Since you want to do this, you must have known it before. Then I won't bother you. Tell me if you need anything. I'll leave first!"
Su Nian and Jing Mo sent Kong Jianming and others out of the gate together.
As soon as I went out, I saw the old lady next door coming over again.
This time, the aunt went straight to Kong Jianming.
"Hey! Isn't this Captain Kong? You are so busy, how come you have time to come here? I just saw a lot of things being carried into the yard..."
Kong Jianming frowned, "Those things were bought by them, and these are the food given to you. If you want them, take out the food and I will have someone deliver them to you."
