In the chicken shed.
The little hens were kept in individual cages with their heads sticking out.
In front of each chicken, there are dinner basins with food for these chickens in them.
Behind the hen's buttocks, there were pieces of cotton cloth, which seemed to be a place specifically for the hen to lay eggs.
The activity space of the whole hen is basically 0.
Since the neck was stuck outside the cage, it was impossible to retract it by oneself, so it could only be stretched out like this.
After the neck is fixed, the hen's range of movement is already very small, and the narrow space of the cage further reduces the hen's movement space.
"This...can the chicken raised like this be eaten?"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable facing this kind of chickens raised on an assembly line.
Although this was a chicken, Zhu Yuanzhang should not feel any sympathy, but he always felt uncomfortable somewhere.
The chickens produced in this way are not happy at all. On the contrary, they will spend their lives in pain.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of these hens, feeling sorry for them.
Queen Ma also showed a hint of unbearable color in her eyes.
These hens were raised here, and their fate was sealed.
In addition to eating and sleeping, it means sleeping and eating. When it is time to lay eggs, it will become a tool for laying eggs.
Until the value is completely squeezed out, he is then killed by the owner of the breeding farm without hesitation and becomes a dish on the people's table.
"Can you eat it? Didn't you just try it?"
Li Jin didn't feel anything, and answered casually:
"I saw you ate the most just now."
"What, you still pity these chickens?"
"The purpose of their birth is to realize their own value, and being eaten by others is their value."
"Even if he was killed later, it would be considered a worthy death."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look good after being told by Li Jin, but Li Jin was indeed right.
And if chickens are really raised like this chicken shed, then killing a thousand chickens every day is really not a problem.
"How long does it take to grow these chickens?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the imprisoned hens and asked:
"If it takes too long, then you won't be able to keep up with the slaughtering speed, right?"
"These chickens just eat and sleep every day. They grow very fast. It usually doesn't take three months to reach full growth."
The boss next to him saw that he finally had a chance to interject, and hurriedly said:
"Of course, this is also our Lord Li's idea."
"Not only that, in addition to these, there is also an incubation room, which is the foundation of this chicken shed."
"Without the incubator, everything here would be just a castle in the air."
"Incubation room?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that there would be so many ways to raise a chicken, so he hurriedly said:
"Take us quickly to see the so-called incubator."
The boss did not move, but looked at Li Jin.
After all, it is an important place for chicken farms, and the boss usually won't let anyone in. This is also Li Jin's rule.
Li Jin has always been very cautious about these fundamental things.
In this age of patents, these things are likely to be copied immediately.
But thinking of Lao Huang's identity, Li Jin finally nodded.
This kind of thing that can show one's own strength can be properly exposed to them, so that further cooperation can be achieved in the future.
After all, a Royal Chamber of Commerce cannot satisfy Li Jin's appetite.
After seeing Li Jin nod, the boss led Zhu Yuanzhang in front with a smile on his face.
Although he was unhappy that his boss didn't give him face, Zhu Yuanzhang still followed him. He wanted to see how many tricks Li Jin had.
The incubation room and the chicken shed were not far away. Within a few steps, the boss led Zhu Yuanzhang to the incubation room.
In the incubation room, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a large box displayed in the incubation room.
These big boxes looked airtight, like coffins, which made Zhu Yuanzhang look at them for a while.
"Is this the incubator you told us about?"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his intelligence had been insulted and shouted:
"This is obviously a coffin. Can this kind of thing be used to hatch eggs?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, the boss quickly bowed and said:
"Master, don't be impatient, let me explain to you."
"Although this kind of box is not very good-looking, it is really an incubator and is very useful for hatching eggs."
As he said that, the boss walked up to a coffin and lightly buttoned it. As if he had found some opportunity, he gently closed the coffin lid.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also stretched his head and looked inside.
What comes into view is a large crystal box. The crystal box is completely transparent and looks very beautiful.
But what surprised Zhu Yuanzhang even more was that there were actually eggs placed in these crystal boxes.
In addition, there is a mezzanine inside the coffin.
The interlayers are also made of crystal, and more importantly, there is warm water in these interlayers.
Queen Ma and Zhu Biao also looked at everything in the coffin in surprise.
"You guys, please don't look down on this design because you think the things inside are crude and crude."
"Although these things don't look amazing, their main function is to keep the eggs incubated at a stable temperature."
"And this temperature was obtained after we conducted many experiments. Just such a design cost us a lot of effort."
"Of course, the original design plan was proposed by Mr. Li. Without Mr. Li, this chicken farm would not be able to open at all."
When the boss saw a few people looking at it carefully, he began to gradually explain to them the function of this thing.
"After this thing was developed, we hatched three thousand eggs every day, and this number is still rising."
“I believe it won’t be long before this number exceeds 10,000.”
"This is all thanks to Mr. Li. I only raised less than a dozen chickens at home at first, but I didn't expect that I would raise more than hundreds of thousands now."
"Thank you for your support, and thank you for allowing me to live such a good life."
"My respect for you is as much as..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, we all know."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the boss started to flatter him as he spoke, so he quickly interrupted:
"Is this thing you are talking about really so magical? Why don't we believe it?"
"With just these few coffins, thousands of chicks can be hatched every day?"
"Why do we think you are cheating..."
"Master, look, it's hatched! It's hatched."
Before Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Queen Ma's screams came out.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was speaking, a chick had already broken out of an egg in the crystal.
Through the transparent crystal, you can clearly see the chick struggling.
Although the immature sharp beak has not yet grown, the chick still uses its sharp beak to peck open a little gap.
As the first chick breaks out of its shell, the second, then the third, until all the chicks on the first layer hatch.
A coffin looks like it must have at least five or six layers.
In other words, at least three to four hundred chicks hatched from this coffin.
Zhu Yuanzhang witnessed the birth of the miracle with his own eyes, but he didn't say it out loud.
"A miracle, simply a miracle."
Queen Ma stood by and marveled. He had also raised chickens, but he had never thought of hatching eggs and artificial incubation.
In the past, eggs were hatched by hens themselves, but now they are all hatched manually.
All processes are handled manually, so it is imperative to expand the scale of breeding.
"Master Li, how did you come up with this method?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Li Jin at this time, wanting to see what Li Jin would say.
"this is very simple."
Li Jin said:
"Hens also use their own body temperature to hatch eggs. If the temperature is right, the eggs can be hatched, so why don't we hatch them ourselves?"
Li Jin glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang triumphantly as he spoke, thinking that this was IQ suppression.
But Queen Ma said:
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
