For the next period of time, Zhou Ziwen's life fell into peace.
Every day I either go to repair tractors or go to the various scrap collection stations in the county to shop on Taobao.
It’s no wonder that Zhou Ziwen discovered quite a few treasures at these scrap collection stations.
He knows so many things, including carpentry, carving, pottery, calligraphy, painting, construction, mechanical maintenance, electrical appliance maintenance, feng shui, etc. All of these are helpful for Taobao.
These skills allow him to quickly identify which items of value are among the scraps and which are genuine waste.
Over a period of time, not only were some spare parts that could be used to repair tractors collected, but also some precious woods, ceramic antiques, ancient calligraphy, paintings, etc. were discovered.
Of course, he asked the production team to reimburse the parts used to repair the tractor, but he kept everything else for himself.
These things may not be worth much now, but in the future, they will be very valuable collectibles.
It is no problem to sell something for tens of thousands of dollars.
And there was another treasure that made Zhou Ziwen overjoyed.
It was a stone abandoned at a scrapyard. It looked ordinary on the outside, but Zhou Ziwen noticed a strange luster inside, and he immediately realized it was something special.
Because he discovered that this was probably a priceless piece of jade.
He studied it carefully and became more certain of his judgment, so without saying a word, he moved the stone back home.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen found tools and carefully peeled off the outer skin of the stone.
After peeling it off, a piece of watery jade was revealed.
According to his experience, the surface transparency of this jade is like crystal, and it also has the green color of jadeite. Taken together, this is a top-grade jadeite. In the future, it may be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Ever since he found this treasure, Zhou Ziwen has become more interested in the scrap collection station.
Whenever he has free time, he will go to the scrap collection station.
After a period of time, I found a lot of good things.
During this period, the chicks in the incubator were hatching smoothly, and today, some chicks have hatched.
Early in the morning, Zhou Ziwen came to the incubation room.
He was accompanied by Zhao Youcai, Li Lei, Chen Guowei, Wu Dagang and the team leader.
As soon as everyone entered the incubation room, they felt a warm and humid breath.
On the incubator, the eggs have cracked and the furry chicks are struggling to get out.
They chirped and added a lot of vitality to this quiet incubator.
Zhou Ziwen walked over and carefully examined the chicks. He found them healthy, with fluffy feathers and bright eyes. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhao Youcai, "Uncle Zhao, these chicks are hatching beautifully. It seems our efforts have paid off."
When Zhao Youcai heard Zhou Ziwen's praise, a proud smile appeared on his face.
He has been taking good care of the eggs these days, fearing that anything might go wrong.
"Ziwen, it's all thanks to your guidance that we were able to hatch the chicks so smoothly."
Li Lei also came over and looked at these lively chicks with surprise in his eyes.
"Ziwen, these chicks are growing really well. The chicken farm will definitely have a good future."
"Why, are you jealous? If you are, I can switch with you. You can manage the chicken farm and I will manage the pig farm." Zhao Youcai joked with a smile.
Li Lei heard Zhao Youcai's joke and waved his hand with a smile.
"Uncle Zhao, you must be joking. I don't have your skills. These chicks only grew so well in your care. I'd better focus on my pig farm."
Chen Guowei evaluated the chicken from a professional perspective.
"You can see that these chicks are full of energy, which shows that the temperature and humidity were controlled very well during the incubation process."
Wu Dagang and the team leader were also very excited when they saw these newborn chicks.
Wu Dagang said, "Ziwen, the birth of these chicks is a great joyous event for our village! From now on, our village will have a source of eggs and chicken."
The team leader also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is a big step forward for our village's aquaculture industry. Ziwen, you are our great hero."
Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Next, we must continue to work hard to ensure the healthy growth of the chicks."
Next, everyone started to get busy.
Zhao Youcai directed several members to carefully transfer the chicks to the warm chicken coops prepared in advance.
Every movement was gentle and cautious, for fear of disturbing these young lives.
"Ziwen, can these chicks be raised in the chicken farm?" Zhao Youcai asked.
Zhou Ziwen carefully observed the chicks for a moment before replying, "Uncle Zhao, although these chicks have hatched, they still need to stay in the brooder for a day or two. We need to ensure they can adapt to the outside environment and have sufficient resistance before transferring them to the chicken farm."
Zhao Youcai nodded in understanding. He knew Zhou Ziwen had extensive knowledge of chicken farming, so he trusted his advice. "Okay, then we'll do as you say. We'll keep these chicks in the brooder for now, and then move them to the farm when they're a little older."
Li Lei also interjected, "Yes, we are not in a hurry."
With everyone's joint efforts, the chicks settled down in the hatchery.
In the next two days, Zhao Youcai and several other members of the cooperative hardly left the brooder room, closely watching the chicks' every move.
They feed and water the chicks regularly to ensure they get enough nutrition.
At the same time, they will carefully check the chickens' feces and judge the health status of the chickens based on the state of the feces.
"Uncle Zhao, these chicks can be put in the chicken farm."
Zhou Ziwen observed the condition of the chicken and then said.
When Zhao Youcai heard Zhou Ziwen's words, he immediately showed an expectant expression.
"Great, Ziwen, let's move the chickens over today. I've already had the chicken farm thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to ensure a clean and sanitary environment."
In these two days, all the chicks in the incubator have hatched.
There were a total of 4,000 eggs, including about 3,500 chicken eggs, 400 duck eggs, and only 100 goose eggs.
Some eggs were lost during the incubation process, but there were still about three thousand eggs.
Duck and goose eggs take a little longer to incubate, but they will hatch soon.
Then, Zhao Youcai arranged for the members of the chicken farm to transfer the chicks to the farm.
When the chicks are hatched, it means that the educated youth in the chicken-raising group will start working on the chicken farm in the future.
The educated youth were very happy to see these little chicks.
The chicks have just hatched a few days ago. They are furry and look very cute.
Especially the female educated youth, each of them was filled with love, and they wanted to hold him in their arms and play with him. (End of this chapter)
