Chapter 180: To make money, you need to have a long-term vision
Lin Dashan coughed and said, "Sun Haining? Little Sun is quite a nice guy! He's hardworking and down-to-earth. If you..."
"Dad... Dad... Dad, I really didn't mean that. My snack stand is getting bigger and bigger.
The seafood here is not expensive. You can bring some back to sell when the time comes. It should be unique!
Besides, I need seafood all the time. I'll have to use it for the banquet in a couple of days." Lin Panpan said with a smile.
"Okay, I won't interfere in your affairs as young people. Several families in the village are running out of food. Panpan, when will our food be distributed?" Lin Dashan is the village chief now, but he has to listen to Lin Panpan.
Lin Panpan smiled and said:
"Let me go for a walk in the mountains, and then we'll post it when we get back.
I remember we found a lot of sausages, chicken, and duck this time, right? We'll give some to each family."
Lin Dashan was extremely happy: "Then... then I will go and inform them now, so that everyone can be happy too."
"Row……"
Lin Dashan left directly, and Lin Panpan continued to walk around. This ecological farm was carefully built according to the farmer's ideas, and now it has basically met her requirements.
The chickens in the mangroves are first kept at a fixed density, with about 15 chickens per square meter in the chicken house. As the chickens grow, the density will be appropriately reduced.
Feeding should be regular and quantitative. Chickens aged 2-4 weeks should be fed about once every 3 hours, 8 times a day. Chickens after 5 weeks of age should be fed about once every 4 hours, 6 times a day. Ensure that they have sufficient drinking water half an hour before and after feeding.
We will regularly weigh the chickens every Sunday afternoon and randomly select 30-40 chickens to measure their average daily weight gain and feed-to-meat ratio.
The management of the ducks is also very strict. The farm has built a duck shed with walls 1-1.3 meters high on the land near the mangroves.
Every morning, sea ducks are driven to the beach for 2 hours, and in the afternoon they spend 3 hours in the mangroves to hunt pests.
At noon and evening, they will return to the duck shed to eat feed, which mainly consists of rice bran, cassava flour, earthworm powder, etc.
The staff will also disinfect the duck shed regularly with disinfectant solution and close the doors and windows after disinfection.
The farm also has a scientific method for dealing with pig manure.
The villagers will first collect the pig manure, mix it with leaves, weeds, etc., maintain a certain humidity, and then pile it up to allow it to ferment and decompose in a high temperature and high humidity environment.
After the fermentation is completed, the villagers will transport it to the mountains and use it as fertilizer for vegetables.
In addition to these, the farm has also established a comprehensive management system, including an ecological planting system, which prohibits the use of chemical synthetic products such as fertilizers and pesticides.
Lin Feng looked at Lin Panpan and said:
"Auntie, can the farm we built like this make money?
I know someone who also raises chickens, but he doesn’t raise his chickens and ducks this way.”
Lin Panpan asked curiously, "How do you raise chickens like that? Do you keep them in cages and feed them constantly?"
"Hey! How did you know?"
Lin Feng scratched his head and said:
"I thought you didn't know how to raise chickens? They keep them in tiny cages.
The chickens had difficulty even turning around, let alone flapping their wings.
From morning to night every day, the machine delivers the prepared feed into the chicken coops at a regular and quantitative rate.
Those chickens can only eat mechanically, without distinction between day and night, and without any activity.
Chickens raised in this way do grow very fast and can reach market weight in just a few weeks.
Unlike our chickens kept in the mangroves, they have to exercise a lot and consume a lot of energy, so they naturally grow slower. Isn't this a waste of money?"
Lin Panpan looked at Lin Feng seriously and said:
"How good can the meat from chickens that are piled up using so-called industrial methods be?
They were all fed hormones. After eating the hormones, the chickens' bodies swelled rapidly like balloons.
But the quality of the meat is not good and it is harmful to the human body.
The chickens we raise in the mangroves using traditional methods eat natural insects and tender grass.
We drink pure dew and breathe fresh air. In the future, the chickens we raise, whether they are eggs or chicken, will taste first-class.
The chicken is tender, juicy, firm and chewy, and the stewed soup is even more delicious and rich.
Let's stick to our ideas and continue this ecological farming so that everyone can taste truly good quality products.
We have to have a long-term vision to make money, because we want to become big and strong in the future."
Lin Feng nodded quickly and said, "I understand. We need to make high-quality products."
"Yes, that's exactly what I think. Once people are blinded by profit, they will abandon their principles.
But I think that people should have a conscience and not use those unconventional methods to harm others.
Remember this: follow me and no unorthodox practices are allowed." Lin Panpan said calmly.
"Remember, auntie, I am the most obedient person. Don't worry, I don't plan to use any unconventional methods. I'm just curious." Lin Feng smiled.
Lin Panpan took him into Eagle's Beak Peak. The scenery of Eagle's Beak Peak was very beautiful. The leaves of the trees on the mountain became colorful, with red, yellow and green intertwined with distinct layers.
Squirrels are jumping in the woods, busy storing food for the winter.
Walking along the winding mountain road, the fallen leaves piled up under my feet, making a rustling sound when I stepped on them.
The view from the top of the mountain is wide. Under the clear sky, the mountains in the distance are rolling and continuous. The mountain breeze blows past with a cool breath, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees and a faint fruity aroma.
Stepping into the valley of Eagle's Beak Peak, all you see is a silver world with hundreds of plastic film greenhouses neatly arranged.
Lin Panpan smiled and said, "Our greenhouse is really good. We've been planting vegetables for over a month now. It's time for some signs of growth, right?"
Several old people in the village gathered around and said:
"The lettuce and spinach here are all edible; they grow fast.
I just don’t know if these vegetables can grow in winter, it’s so cold here.”
Lin Panpan smiled and said, "Just do it. If you make any losses, I'll cover it!"
"Hey! Let me take you to see the ginseng! Those ginsengs are growing well." said the old man in the village.
They have been dealing with the land all their lives, so it is perfect for them to come and look at the vegetable fields.
Lin Panpan slowly walked into the ginseng greenhouse. Those ginsengs that were hundreds of years old had thick rhizomes and long, thin fibers, like an old man's beard, and they were tied with red ropes.
The ginseng that has been growing for decades is also full of vitality, with tender green leaves stretching out and swaying gently in the breeze.
Lin Panpan was in a good mood: "Lin Dawei, wait until spring to plant the ginseng seeds. The soil here is especially suitable for growing ginseng!
"Well, I know. Our ginseng field is quite large. Let's give it a try next year." Lin Dawei is a good farmer, but he has never grown ginseng before.
