Emperor Jing's eyes were blank for a moment.
He has finally explained the matter of competing with the people for profit.
Because his restaurant caused other restaurants on the market to lower their prices and offer discounts, the people benefited, which is indeed a good thing.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out where his son got the confidence from.
After opening a restaurant, he dared to arrogantly claim that his achievements would benefit the present and future generations.
It's just a restaurant, how can it be so great! ?
Seeing that Emperor Jing was silent, Li Yuanzhao grinned and asked, "Father, do you not believe it?"
"You are bragging!" Emperor Jing said calmly.
Li Yuanzhao smiled: "Okay, okay! Since you are here today, I will personally take you to see how my restaurant operates from beginning to end. It just so happens that Old Fang has never seen it before, so I will take you to see it clearly once and for all!"
As soon as he said he was going, Guo Tianyang went downstairs to prepare the horses and carriages.
Half an hour later, the three of them had left the capital and arrived in the suburbs.
In the suburbs, Emperor Jing was confused when he looked at the scenery all around. There were only a few bungalows not far away, but they didn't look like people lived there, and there wasn't even a vegetable plot at the door.
"There are neither fields nor houses here. Why did you bring me here?"
Li Yuanzhao said, "Father, I have watched it from beginning to end, so I naturally started with the chickens. In order to meet the supply of live chickens in the restaurant, I opened a chicken farm here."
"That's it... you see, that room can hold six hundred chickens."
Li Yuanzhao said as he led Emperor Jing towards the bungalow: "This is just the beginning. Six hundred chickens are far from enough to supply the restaurant. I'm afraid they won't last even three days. The chickens we have now are all purchased from the public."
"But I think that in the future, fast food restaurants will have to have their own chicken farms, because the requirements for ingredients in my restaurant are like the requirements for parts in a factory, and all finished products must maintain the same standard."
"The quality of the chickens collected from the public is uneven and cannot meet the requirements of the restaurant, but for now we have no choice but to accept it."
Is the food that you gnaw on the chicken still considered as good?
Emperor Jing frowned and said, "Ridiculous! I have never heard of this before. To open a restaurant, you need to open your own chicken farm to meet the demand. It takes five months for a chicken to grow into an adult chicken. How many chicken farms do you need to open to meet the supply of the restaurant?"
"If everyone does business like you, wouldn't it be exhausting?"
Li Yuanzhao said helplessly: "Yes, I also hope to split all the processes like building a train and only be responsible for the final assembly part."
“But the operation mode of Erchen’s restaurant is obviously different from all other restaurants in the outside world. Only by breaking a new path can we gain a firm foothold in the market. In the future, we can split up each process, cultivate partners, and disperse our own risk pressure.
"So I can only start with raising chickens, but raising chickens is a very learned thing."
As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the chicken farm.
The door of the chicken coop was open, and a strong smell of chicken manure hit me in the face. The chickens inside were in cages and cackling.
Li Yuanzhao explained: "If you want chickens to grow meat quickly, the key is to make them full and unable to move, so as to reduce the consumption of energy and spirit. So I thought of locking them in cages and feeding them uniformly to save time and improve efficiency."
"I originally thought that I was the first one to think of this method, but after flipping through some agricultural books, I found that our predecessors had already explored it. But why has such a simple and easy method that everyone can think of not been popularized?" Li Yuanzhao said slowly.
"Later, I realized that with so many chickens locked in a confined space, it would be very easy for chicken plague to break out. Once infected, all the chickens would be doomed. No one could take such a risk."
Emperor Jing was thoughtful: "So that's how it is. Please continue."
Li Yuanzhao straightened his chest slightly and said, "The predecessors stopped here, but I will never stop there. As long as we find out why the chicken plague occurs and how to solve it, the efficiency of raising chickens can be greatly improved."
"For this reason, I found a group of top doctors from Taoyuan Medical Clinic to help me find the answer. They lived up to my expectations and found the cause in just two months, and also gave me a solution."
Emperor Jing suddenly widened his eyes!
He actually found a solution? If there really is a way to allow the country to produce meat more efficiently.
The saying "the benefits will be felt in the present and for future generations" is not just a random remark.
"The people at Taoyuan Medical Clinic have been comparing the groups and finally found that 80% of the chickens' illnesses are caused by chicken manure. In addition, the temperature, humidity, and turbid air in the chicken house can also cause illness."
"So the doctors at Taoyuan Medical Clinic recommend that in order to reduce the risk of chickens getting sick, the chicken coop should be cleaned regularly, ventilation should be maintained, and straw should be laid in the cages and replaced frequently to keep them clean."
"The most important thing is that they used penicillin to treat chickens, and it was successful! In addition to treating humans, penicillin can also treat chickens!" Li Yuanzhao was actually a little excited when he said the last sentence.
Emperor Jing was completely stunned, and his thinking was completely unable to keep up with Li Yuanzhao.
The doctor at Taoyuan Medical Clinic...raises chickens! He also gave some advice on raising chickens.
Forget about giving advice, penicillin is a famous panacea in the capital, and now it can even be used on chickens?!
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but start applauding Li Yuanzhao.
The prince not only has a good business mind, but also has a very good scientific thinking.
Beautiful, he played this wave of cooperation with the clinic really beautifully.
Unfortunately, the above-mentioned method of keeping chickens clean can only reduce the probability of chickens getting sick, but the cost of treating chickens... penicillin is too high.
It's a luxury for humans and obviously not ideal for animals.
