Chapter 55: The most cost-effective farming

In modern times, earthworm farmers are not necessarily profitable. The biggest reason is that the market is saturated and the earthworms are at a bad price. The selling price is not enough to cover the cost. Therefore, large-scale earthworm culture is generally used as a ring in the production chain, and is incorporated into livestock breeding such as chickens, ducks, fishes and pigs, in order to maximize the profit of self-production and self-sale.

In this world, it doesn't matter... Anyway, the cost of manpower, space, and feed (fermented cow dung) for breeding earthworms is not a cost, as long as it is raised, it is pure profit.

After discussing the breeding issues with the grassroots clan chief, Xiao Yunbian and the grassroots ran out of the industrial zone for a round of site selection. As a result, they found that the previous assumptions could not be established-it is indeed possible to cover the earthworm farm here. The geothermal energy in the industrial area, but earthworms are quiet creatures. If the surrounding environment is too noisy and the ground shakes frequently, the earthworms will flee. If you say that the gray dwarf smelting site needs to reduce the noise, this is unrealistic...

No matter what, Xiao Yun can only change the direction and change the earthworm farm to the greenhouse area-the potatoes, wild ginger, and sweet potatoes grown in the greenhouse cannot grow in the climate of minus ten degrees or tens of degrees in winter. Underneath, you need to dig out a circular flue that surrounds the ground of the greenhouse, and leave a mezzanine on the wall. Heating through the flue and the mezzanine can keep the temperature in the greenhouse at about ten to twenty degrees.The same heating system also supplies mushrooms from Thrall At this time, it can only take a little work, and then expand the heating system to benefit earthworm breeding.

Earthworms are afraid of cold and heat, and the farm needs to dig out a semi-underground structure, similar to a mushroom house. Xiao Yun and the grassroot patriarch selected a location and called a work team to start construction.

It's been snowing for ten days, the ground is frozen, and the outdoor temperature in daytime is also below ten degrees below zero. In this weather, the cold goblin had to hide under the ground of ten meters to barely keep the mind awake and do not sleep. Now there are snow werewolves The sweaters and animal skins I can only squat in the house, I can’t get out of the activity, I can’t count on it. Fortunately, the gray dwarves cast and forged many iron tools, such as hoe, shovel, iron hammer for rock drilling, etc. The construction of the team led by Dashui, Qingcao and Languo was not slow.

Um... compared to using the claws to dig up soil last winter, this year is not too easy. Although there is still the problem of frostbite, there are many people anyway, and it is not a mistake to take a holiday.

While excavating the foundation, a semi-underground space is dug out. The circular flue with mud brick barriers around the underground space. It is also necessary to leave a thermal insulation interlayer when building the wall-this wall interlayer can effectively insulate in summer and winter Discharging hot smoke into the interlayer can also effectively raise the temperature in the breeding shed. In the weather where the outdoor temperature is tens of degrees below zero, it is not enough to rely on the circle of flue under the ground. The indoor temperature of the greenhouse is kept at about 20 degrees. of.

The earthworm breeding shed is 30-meter long and 7-meter wide, and the specifications are aligned with the vegetable greenhouse. A 1.2-meter channel is left in the middle of the shed. The two sides are used as feeding beds. Each bed is about 2 meters wide and separated by a brick wall. Open, leaving a wide drainage ditch and summer ventilation channel between the beds; the breeding bed is built with fermented mature cow dung and humus (including chopped wild grass leaves, wheat straw leaves, rotten leaves) as the foundation Feed, the feed must be fermented and mature, the whole is black, and there is no pungent smell. The input base material must ensure a certain fluffiness, not too tight, and ensure that the base material has breathability.

The decomposed feed is loosely piled up to a height of about 20 centimeters, squeezed with pig urine on the pottery tube, and then squeezed with impervious pigskin water, and the burned warm snow water is sprayed into the base material when the base material is wet In order to squeeze your fingertips to see the water, you can put in earthworms to start breeding.

There is no place to buy a good seed in this place, and to feed the earthworms, you can only grab it yourself. In winter, earthworms often drill into deeper soil layers and sleep. You can find the dormant earthworms hidden in the soil by digging about one meter below the ground on the river bank... Xiao Yun does not know the type of earthworms, no matter what they are excavated. What kind of earthworm is, all framed and brought back to the breeding shed, sprinkling the ground with the earth to the breeding bed.

Xiao Yun and the grass-root patriarch closely stared at the breeding bed to observe that the indoor temperature was around 20 degrees, there was no light, and there was a certain ventilation in the breeding shed. Those small, dormant earthworms gradually woke up and instinctively wet Drilling in the base material-even if the seeding is successful.

"The indoor temperature is kept well, ventilated three to four times a day, pay attention to check the humidity of the material bed. In this weather, spray water about once every five days, once a day in summer, pay attention to whether there is water at the bottom, and check if there is any. Is the drain ditch below blocked..."

Xiao Yun demonstrated spreading wheat straw on the surface of the feeding bed as the base material for heat preservation and moisturizing. While talking to the grass roots about feeding points, the grass root patriarch only felt a little dizzy after listening to a few words, and waved hands repeatedly: "I don’t remember if you said so much Live, tell me a little bit."

"...Well, in short, to feed this stuff, the indoor temperature and humidity must be maintained. In this regard, you can ask Thrall's experience that the cultivation of mushrooms is about the same as the temperature and humidity of earthworms."

"Okay, I remember this." The grassroots stepped up and touched the edge of the base pile. "This earthworm should be moistened, but it should not be soaked with water under the bottom. If there is water, check the material quickly. Drainage pipe under the bed"

"Yes." Xiao Yun compared with the thumb. "The second time is indoor ventilation. When the air is stuffy, the earthworm will run. Open the door at least three times a day to ventilate. Don't move the grass shed at the door when ventilating. To block the light, the earthworm is afraid of the light. Yes, this is also similar to Sal's cultivation of Flammulina velutipes."

Grassroots took note of this, and Xiao Yun led her to keep busy collecting earthworms...Cultivation is a long-term job, patience, carefulness, and perseverance are indispensable, hoping to let the grassroots take over once or twice It is unscientific to point out the talents of breeding in the second vein, and slowly, let the grass roots experience a process from seeding to harvesting, which is regarded as teaching success.

Xiao Yun had previously seen a book on ancient farming, where there was a plot where the protagonist raised earthworms, chickens, and ducks to make a fortune, but there was no description of the process. Only a protagonist called the villagers to raise farmed earthworms, and then the protagonist made people How the earthworms raised feed the chickens and ducks particularly fat, and the Quartet was shocked. During this period, the protagonist was too busy to do something to eat and eat at home every day. He also had the energy to talk to Miss Qianjin, the official family in the city. A love, a concubine with an income.

At that time, Xiao Yun did not care about this, and only said that it was true that the father was not a prime minister-level female host. No matter how much ink was written, he could not be a palace, until the readers appeared in the text to find faults, saying that modern owners who are engaged in ecological farming cannot take off at the beginning stage. There is always a problem with opening, the protagonist is slamming his hand, and the owner has fallen from the sky, and he has the energy to think about the third wife and concubine... If he pinches it hard, Xiao Yun, a diving dog, looks very much There was a hilarity.

Afterwards... When I was bored, I saw live broadcasts of ecological farm farming on college students’ farming families who returned to their hometowns. Xiao Yun naturally went in...

I have to say that the reader who was picky was right... The people engaged in ecological farming have time to fall in love? Just a little bit of aborigines can raise everything? Fart! The college student farmer's information book is gnawing from pile to pile, leading the relatives and villagers of the minimum junior high school culture. Both the husband and wife are busy in relocation. The ancient farmers with an illiteracy rate of 100% are systematically set knowledge absorption What about NPC with 100% conversion rate?

Anyway, here is Xiao Yun, among the Snow Werewolf, no, grass roots whose IQ is not inferior to humans can't be understood at a glance, and Xiao Yun did not say that he can breed in earthworms when he is busy with other things. When I got on the shelf, I had to come over every day to check the activity of earthworms.

After ten days, when Xiao Yun and the grass roots checked the feeding bed together, they found that the earthworm dung at the bottom (the difference between earthworm dung and base material is more obvious on closer inspection, and earthworm dung is more like a clump of soil). Then began to add feed for the first time-first turn the bed loosely, shovel out the earthworm feces at the bottom, then spray the feed raked by the nail rake through the water mist to increase the humidity, and then spread it on the base, about ten Thickness around cm.

Earthworms should eat their own weight of feed every day, and half of them are excreted as feces. When adding feed, remember to eradicate the feces in time to avoid the infection of earthworms and not to be lazy.

Xiao Yun checked the earthworm dung out of the shovel, but did not see the earthworm cocoon, then dumped the earthworm dung at the collection place outside the greenhouse, and put it into use when he planted the next year.

Earthworms will certainly not produce cocoons in winter under natural conditions, and they can be produced all year round in a greenhouse environment. This is also the advantage of farming. When the second feed was added, Xiao Yun discovered earthworm cocoons in the earthworm feces.

The grass-root patriarch was very happy, staring at the earthworm cocoon that was smaller than the wheat grain for a long time, remembering its image firmly (smooth surface, black, brown or yellow semi-permeable cocoon body, a bit similar to insect cocoon, but very small ), then together with Xiao Yun, put the earthworm cocoon mixed with earthworm feces into a wooden box, move to a place with a lower temperature (about 15 degrees) in the greenhouse for incubation, add ten centimeters thick feed above the incubation pile, about 20 Days later, a large number of earthworms hatched from the cocoon. (The temperature required for hatching is slightly lower than the temperature during the growing period. The hatching rate is about 15 degrees and the highest is close to 90%. If the temperature is the same as the growing period, 20~26 degrees, the hatching rate is only 40%.)

Under the condition of good temperature and humidity, a single earthworm cocoon can hatch several earthworms. At this time, the density of earthworms in the hatching heap is extremely large and needs to be reared in piles. At the same time, mature earthworms cultivated for 40 days can also be used. Harvest and free the breeding bed.

There are many ways to harvest earthworms. Xiao Yun imitated the method of the live couple, transferring the base material of the feeding bed to the outdoor concrete floor, peeling the base material from top to bottom, and the earthworms instinctively drilled layer by layer because they were protected from light. , Hiding to the bottom of the base material, you can concentrate on harvesting.

The empty material bed supplements the base material, and divides one-third of the new earthworms in the hatching pile into the continuous breeding. The one-bed hatching pile can be divided into new three to four beds depending on the number of hatching. (Each bed of new material can supplement part of the earthworm species collected in the wild for crossbreeding to avoid degradation of inbreeding of earthworm species)

The collected earthworms are placed in the sun for 20 minutes to die, or cut into sections or dried to grind, then they can be fed directly to the livestock... (The earthworms after drying seem to be a Chinese medicine)

The cost-effectiveness of earthworm breeding in the world is extremely high in this world. The earthworms produced are excellent livestock feed. The earthworm feces produced in the breeding process are also superior fertilizers, relative to almost no breeding. The cost is simply cost-effective.

The first harvested earthworms were dried and cut into sections, and the grassroot patriarch rubbed his hands excitedly: "Ayun, these earthworms can make our pigs fatter, right?"

The wild boar that had been fanned and raised for a while was really delicious. After eating it once, the status of pork in the minds of the descendants was already ranked in front of the lamb.

"Yes, this thing is better than alfalfa." Xiao Yun nodded his head. "In the future, we will have more fat, more fat, more lean meat and more delicate pigs. We have to look at this."

Don't be too happy with the grass roots, hopping to find the cubs responsible for feeding the animals to get the earthworms...

Xiao Yun was also very happy to see her excitement. Interest is the best motivation-can it be that the earthworms are disgusting, and those who like to raise them are not ordinary people, anyway, he is braced all the way. .

The green dragon has been here twice in these forty days, and each time it is frozen like a fool, and the green hair is all glazed, but still very strong to meet the appetite... Xiao Yun looks at him I was embarrassed to hang two tubes of snot and pretend to be very cold Jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, foreheads, etc., use all the gold, silver, and precious stones given by this stingy ghost.

I thought that the jewelry had given him no excuses, but the first time he harvested the breeding earthworms, Xiao Yun heard the exclamation of the gray dwarf and looked up, the green dragon came again-this time he knew Cold, useless humanoid, turned into a green lizard flying.

This green-skinned lizard landed on the leveled ground of the snow wolves in front of the tribe, leaving a particularly exaggerated indentation on the snow... Then it jumped into a humanoid shape, rushed into the heated room, Xiao Yun followed him to see that the goods were dressed in a hurry-not the high-necked robe in that suit, but the thick white fur coat.

Bare buttocks in a bearskin coat... OK!

"Uh……"

"I inspected the territory, Ah, Ah, and came by to see." Before Xiao Yun spoke, Green Dragon looked at him seriously. Um, if this product was not frozen with green skin and white, and white with green, Xiao Yun could believe it.

"...Welcome, we are honored." What Xiao Yun can say.

The warm soup on the stove is brought over, and the bean curd prepared to add food to the people at night is served. The pickled vegetables and salted radishes are put on a plate. Then the leftover pickled buns and fried meat patties are heated up at noon. Even if it's alive...the decent reception is only loaded with dishes! When my family eats, it's not so special.

This time I finished eating and didn't say anything. I didn't know where to get the book and sat in the warm activity room to read leisurely; Xiao Yun, who was with the guests, looked at her. Cost-effective, want to eat at night, too lazy to worry about it, and found an excuse to go out and do his business-his time is precious!

He went out here, and secretly took his eyes at his green dragon, but he was greatly relieved... His castle protected by magic enchantment was forcibly tall, but it was also cold. In winter, he always sleeps deep in the castle, there is wood~

Fly back and forth to a stupidly frozen one and only mix it really is not cost-effective, how can you mix two times! The Green Dragon secretly made up his mind that if the Snow Werewolf cub wanted to drive him away, he would ask for a cook-the last time this matter was fooled by the other party, but he did not forget this stubble!

Xiao Yun went straight to the industrial zone: "Ah, ah! Ah! Ah lie down, don't the stupid dragon catch me?"

In the collective bedroom diagonally opposite the activity room, Thrall & four cubs stared at the door of the activity room without seeing the green dragon coming out for a long time.

One of the cubs looked up at Thrall: "Saar, isn't that green dragon gone?"

Thrall: "..." How do I know!

The five people sighed together... The activity room was occupied by the green dragon, and none of them dared to enter.

One of the cubs looked up again: "Saar, do you teach us to grow mushrooms?"

Thrall immediately looked away and could not hear.

The cubs were unhappy: "We have taught you how to make blankets, and you will not teach us to grow mushrooms."

Thrall went back to the place where he slept and put on an animal skin coat: "Let me let me check the mushrooms."

The rabbits and cubs all pointed their middle fingers at Thrall's back—this was how Ayun sent the nasty green dragon!

In the industrial zone, Xiao Yun, who was discussing plow-making with Baru: "Ah, ah!"

"Ayun, did you catch a cold?" Baru cares.

"There should be no, my nose is not blocked." Xiao Yun is also very strange, "Forget it, don't say this, Baru, do you think I recommend this kind of processing?"

The gray dwarves certainly make plows, but they build heavy heavy plows that are dragged by several cows or horses... Because the world’s technology trees are not related to agriculture, the indigenous people can only Cultivating on a flat plain, the world’s systemic countries have adopted a land power segregation system, and there is no small peasant economy. The development of plow is naturally to facilitate the cultivation of the great plains-land power segregation system has been developed since the Han Dynasty in China It has been eliminated. Since the Tang Dynasty, the power has adopted the feudal power sub-feudal system (the alternation of the two power systems can be glimpsed from the history of the demise of the family. Everyone knows that the rise and fall of the feudal dynasty and the uncontrolled land merger are inseparable, and land power There is no land merger in the segregation system, because the production resources of land are all in the hands of the power, and the peasants are all serfs. The small peasant economy is prevalent, and naturally various plows will be born.

Of course, it does not mean that there is no light plow in this world. For example, the tauren uses a light quyuan plow...

Quyuan plow is not bad, but after thinking about it, Xiao Yun still hopes to do more work on the plow. After all, the snow werewolves are few people, and they can’t be as busy as the tauren to pull the Quyuan plow to cultivate the land. Come here, so Xiao Yun asked whether he could make a plowshare plow-the plowshare plow that was pulled by a tractor on the earth Xiao Yun had seen in the countryside, such as the fan surface lined up, five plowshares at the same level cutting, crushing, The scene of overturning the weeds in the soil ridge was impressive in his mind. He used the super drag of the snow werewolf in the wolf-shaped form and pulled the plow to carry out the tillage work, and the efficiency was just short of the ground.

Xiao Yun said happily, but Baru was frowning... You clearly said you couldn’t look down on a heavy-duty plow, but the kind of plow you asked for was different from the heavy-duty plow—the heavy-duty plow was half of a wooden structure anyway. The steel structure is heavier and better!

However, the baroque sketch of the plow plow that Barbara drew reluctantly also seemed to be moving. The heavy plow was clumsy and not flexible enough to turn, and this plow plow spread out and the drag force was concentrated on one point, although It's equally heavy, but at least it won't even turn the face.

"We can try to make a set of molds, first make a sample and take a look." Baru felt his chin cautiously. "Such a large all-steel plow cannot be formed in one piece, we can only make components and assemble...We You have to study the assembled parts first."

The gray dwarf's forging process is not only forging, it is not a matter of effort to build one by one, it is time-consuming and low output is the problem. Under the conditions, they also have the skills of mold casting-making molds with mud and sand and pouring iron into the cast iron. The efficiency is higher than the one-by-one hammering of the hammer to know where to go.

Of course, some irons that require high performance still need to be forged. The cast irons have poor overall density and low impact resistance. The plowshares must be forged with great care.

Xiao Yun nodded, and immediately took out the wood chips and crumbed clay he brought over: "It's not so troublesome to think about the components. Let's build a model and see it to know the approximate structure."

So the two played a manual model in a busy industrial area...

It’s just that it’s not easy to know the approximate shape, and it is not easy to figure out the structure and components. Even the relatively simple structure of the plowshare is not so easy. What function does the shape of the coulter have, and the shoveling Where is the design of the things? These things are very technical for the layman to think about.

Xiao Yun, who was so dizzy, and a group of gray dwarves who had finished work went back to the tribe to eat, and when they saw the green dragon occupying the activity room and waiting for dinner, the flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes-wait, this goods can be out of thin air with magic To make a rope that binds wild boar, the rope is still tenacious, and the adult wild boar can't break free. Isn't it easier to make an object model and analyze parts based on the ability of making things out of thin air than using wood chips and clay?

Seeing Green Dragon subconsciously shrunk his neck, he looked up at Ayun who gave them a sense of security, and then he saw...A Yun's face had a not-so-good evil smile, and ran towards the Green Dragon...

Baru: "?"

Xiao Yun smiled like flowers (...), and warmly joined the green dragon: "Honorable Lord Lord, my family is really lucky to know your dragon clan, but you can only come here occasionally, after a short stay I have to go back, this is really regrettable..."

Green Dragon:"??"

The life of the dragon family is there, and no matter how stupid the time is, it will also learn from the experience. At that time, the green dragon who was coaxed by Xiao Yun and flew for more than a day and two days in a row to catch the wild boar. It can be recalled... but he did enjoy the offering of the Snow Werewolf, and he felt that something was wrong but there was no reason to be angry.

This time Xiao Yun rushed to a rainbow fart, and Green Dragon was comfortable and comfortable, and must be alert in his heart-what does this product want me to do this time?
