Emperor Jing's eyes were dull for a moment.
He has already explained the matter of competing with the people for profit.
Because his restaurant caused other restaurants in the market to cut prices and make profits, the people benefited, which is indeed a good thing.
But even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't know where his son had the confidence.
When he opens a restaurant, he dares to arrogantly claim that his success will be in the present time and his benefit will be in the future.
It's just a restaurant, how can it go to heaven! ?
Seeing that Emperor Jing was silent, Li Yuanzhao grinned and asked, "Father, don't you believe it?"
"What a shame!" Emperor Jing said calmly.
Li Yuanzhao smiled: "Okay, okay! If you are here today, I will personally show you how my restaurant operates from beginning to end. As it happens, Lao Fang has never seen it, so I will show you all at once. clear!"
Just as he was about to leave, Guo Tianyang immediately went down to prepare horses and carriages.
Half an hour later, the three of them had left the capital and reached the suburbs.
In the suburbs, Emperor Jing was confused as he looked at the scenery around him. There were only a few bungalows not far away, and they didn't look like they were inhabited. There wasn't even a vegetable patch at the door.
"There are neither fields nor houses here. Why did you bring me here?"
Li Yuanzhao said: "My father and I have both said that I have watched it from beginning to end, so naturally I 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... look at that room that can hold six hundred chickens."
As Li Yuanzhao spoke, 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 it won't last even three days. The chickens now are all from the private sector." Acquired.”
"But in the future, Erchen believes that the fast food restaurant must have its own chicken farm, because the requirements for ingredients in Erchen's restaurant are like the requirements for parts in a factory, and all finished products must maintain the same level."
"The chickens collected from the private sector are of varying quality and cannot meet the requirements of restaurants, but for now we can only make peace with them."
Is it okay to eat chicken food now?
Emperor Jing frowned deeply: "It's ridiculous. I have never heard of it. To open a restaurant, you need to open a chicken farm to meet the requirements. It takes five months for a chicken to grow into a chicken. How many chicken farms do you need to open to meet the supply of the restaurant? .”
"Isn't it exhausting to do business like you do?"
Li Yuanzhao said helplessly: "Yes, Erchen also hopes to separate all the processes like building a train and only be responsible for the final assembly part."
"However, the operation model of Erchen's restaurant is obviously different from that of all restaurants outside. Only by carving out a new path can we gain a firm foothold in the market. In the future, we will split up the various processes, cultivate partners, and spread our risk pressure. .
"So I can only start by raising chickens, but just raising chickens is a major event full of knowledge."
While 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 us. The chickens inside were all squawking in cages.
Li Yuanzhao explained: "If you want to make chickens grow meat quickly, the key is to make them eat and drink enough and not move, so as to reduce the consumption of energy and spirit. So I thought of putting them in cages densely and feeding them uniformly to save time." Improve efficiency."
"I thought I was the first to think of this method, but after reading some agricultural books, I found that 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 understood that with so many chickens locked up in a confined space, it is extremely easy for chicken plague to break out. Once infected, all the chickens will be dead. No one can take such a risk."
Emperor Jing thought thoughtfully: "I see, you continue talking."
Li Yuanzhao puffed up his chest slightly: "Predecessors stopped here, but I will never stop there. As long as we find out why chicken plague occurs and how to solve it, the efficiency of raising chickens can be greatly improved. "
"For this reason, Erchen found a group of top doctors from Taoyuan Medical Center to help me find the answer. They lived up to Erchen's expectations. It only took two short months to find the cause and also provided an explanation. Law."
Emperor Jing's eyes suddenly widened!
He actually found a solution? If there really is a way for the country to produce meat efficiently.
That the merit is in the present time and the benefit will be in the future is really not a random nonsense.
"People at Taoyuan Medical Center have been comparing groups, and finally found that 80% of the chickens' illness is caused by chicken manure. In addition, temperature, humidity, and turbid air in the chicken house can also cause illness."
"So doctors from Taoyuan Medical Center recommend that in order to reduce the illness of chickens, the chicken coop should be cleaned frequently, ventilation should be paid attention to, bedding should be laid in the cage, and it should be replaced at all times to keep it clean."
"The most important thing is that they used penicillin to treat chickens, and it was successful! In addition to treating people, penicillin can also treat chickens!" Li Yuanzhao was slightly excited at the end.
Emperor Jing was completely stunned and couldn't keep up with Li Yuanzhao's thinking.
The doctor at Taoyuan Medical Center...raises chickens! Advice on raising chickens is also given.
Just give me advice. Penicillin is a well-known panacea in Beijing, but now it can be used on chickens? !
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but start applauding Li Yuanzhao.
The prince not only has a business acumen, but also has a very good scientific thinking.
Beautiful, this cooperation with the medical center has made him play really beautifully.
Unfortunately, the previous method of keeping the chickens clean can only reduce the probability of chickens getting sick, and the cost of treating chickens with penicillin is too high.
It's a luxury for humans, but it's obviously not ideal for animals.
Although penicillin has been around for many years, the problem of mass production...has never been solved.
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking this, Li Yuanzhao's regretful voice sounded in his ears: "However, although I know the solution, there is no way to put it into practice. Penicillin is too expensive, but this discovery is still of great value. Maybe it will be more than ten years old." Is penicillin cheaper now?”
"In addition to the external environment, the chicken itself also has a lot of room for improvement... Erchen went to the School of Agriculture at Dongjiao University and asked. They said that chickens can improve the speed of meat growth through crossbreeding. Now there are some signs, but there is no matching yet. To create a breed that is better than native chickens, and to mix the feed... Many issues have been thought about by previous people, but they are far from perfect!”
"I guess everything the ancients did was for practicality. If it didn't work, they would immediately give up and find another way. While Dongjiao University is focusing on practicality, it is also digging into the root of the problem. But these Research that seems worthless at first will surely have unexpected effects at some point!"
"Imagine, in the future, if there are new chicken breeds that produce meat quickly and cheap penicillin, wouldn't there be chicken farms like this everywhere in our world? Hundreds or thousands of chickens can be produced quickly at a time... Then Everyone in the world can eat chicken!”
Emperor Jing was extremely pleased.
It's amazing. It's quite amazing to have such a major discovery and understanding... It shows that the prince works hard and carefully.
But...this is definitely not the reason for his rant!
"You have said so much, but the problem of intensive chicken raising does not seem to be fundamentally solved. Once the chickens get sick, there is still no solution. Who would take such a huge risk to raise chickens like you? It is better to go to people's homes to buy them." Emperor Jing said calmly. .
Li Yuanzhao smiled slightly: "Father is wrong."
"Although the fundamental problem has not been solved, Erchen personally thought of a compromise. While greatly reducing the disease in the chickens, it can also reduce the chickens' activity and speed up their meat growth!"
Emperor Jing was surprised and said: "If what you said is true, then the progress is indeed extraordinary. How did you do it?"
Li Yuanzhao said mysteriously: "This is a wonderful way. Rong Erchen is trying to show off... Does your father know about basketball?"
"Basketball? I know a little bit about it."
"A little knowledge is enough. Father, I hope you can combine basketball and chicken and think about it!"
Basketball and chicken! ?
The long-lost memories were awakened... Fang Zhengyi fell into petrification...
