The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

Zhao Youcai was very efficient. Although only one day had passed, he had already collected a lot of eggs.

Zhou Ziwen saw that the quantity and quality of the eggs were very good, and said to Zhao Youcai: "Uncle Zhao, you are so efficient. These eggs look very good, and the chicks that hatch should be very healthy."

Zhao Youcai smiled and said: "This is all thanks to everyone's help. The villagers are very active. When they heard that we were going to expand the chicken farm, they were all happy to contribute."

Zhou Ziwen nodded, and carefully checked the equipment and environment of the incubator. He said to Zhao Youcai, "Uncle Zhao, although we have some incubation experience before, the number of eggs is relatively large this time, so we still have to be more cautious. We must always pay attention to changes in temperature, humidity and ventilation, and make timely adjustments if any problems are found."

Zhao Youcai listened carefully to Zhou Ziwen's words and said, "Ziwen, don't worry. I will arrange for someone to be responsible for guarding the incubation room and check the environmental parameters every hour."

Zhou Ziwen expressed satisfaction with Zhao Youcai's arrangement. He knew that Zhao Youcai was a very responsible person. With him around, the work in the incubation room would definitely be done in an orderly manner.

"Uncle Zhao, in addition to monitoring environmental parameters, we also need to ensure that the eggs on the incubator bed can be heated evenly." Zhou Ziwen reminded, "Especially for kerosene lamps, remember to replace the kerosene and wicks in a timely manner."

Zhao Youcai nodded in understanding: "Yes, I will arrange for someone to manually check the temperature of the eggs every once in a while to make sure there are no cold or hot spots."

Zhou Ziwen continued: "In addition, during the incubation period, we also need to turn the eggs regularly to promote the development of the embryo. Although this task is simple, it is very important and cannot be ignored."

Zhao Youcai took out a small notebook and carefully wrote down every suggestion of Zhou Ziwen: "Ziwen, you are right. I will arrange for someone to turn the eggs on time every day to ensure that every egg can get the same care."

After the two discussed the specific matters of incubation for a while, Zhou Ziwen put forward some suggestions for improving the environment of the incubation room, such as adding ventilation facilities to keep the air fresh, reduce the growth of bacteria and so on.

Zhao Youcai carefully wrote down every suggestion Zhou Ziwen made, and then said, "Ziwen, don't worry, I will arrange people to implement these suggestions as soon as possible. We will do our best to ensure that these eggs can be hatched successfully."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said to Zhao Youcai: "Uncle Zhao, I feel relieved to have you here. I will come to check on you frequently. If there are any problems, we will communicate and solve them in time."

After coming out of the hatchery, Zhou Ziwen came to the feed storage area of ​​the chicken farm.

He saw that the amount of feed reserves had increased compared to before, but as the scale of the chicken farm expanded, more feed was still needed.

He decided to find Li Lei to discuss how to solve the problem of feed supply.

Zhou Ziwen found Li Lei at the pig farm, where he was checking the operation of the crusher.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming, Li Lei stopped what he was doing and said, "Ziwen, you're here. I just checked the grinder and I still think its efficiency is not high enough. If it continues like this, it may not be able to meet the feed demand after the chicken farm expands."

Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "Brother Li, I've been thinking about this as well. I found some parts at the scrap recycling station yesterday and I plan to make a crusher myself. If it's successful, it should be able to improve the efficiency of feed production."

Li Lei looked at Zhou Ziwen in surprise and said, "Ziwen, you can make a grinder yourself? That's amazing! If we can have a new grinder, then our feed supply problem will hopefully be solved."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "I'll give it a try too, and hope it will be successful. By the way, Brother Li, in addition to the problem of the grinder, we also need to consider the source of the raw materials for the feed. As the scale of the chicken farm expands, relying solely on the existing raw materials may not be enough."

Li Lei frowned and thought for a while before saying, "You are right. We are running low on rice straw and wheat straw in our village. But it is not a difficult task. I will go to the team leader and discuss with them to see if we can get some from Xiaobazi Village and Niushan Village."

Li Lei is the successor trained by Wu Dagang and has good management skills.

He went on to say, "Also, I heard that the production of rice straw and wheat straw in Xiaobazi Village and Niushan Village is quite high. If we can reach a cooperation with them, it will not only solve our problem of feed raw materials, but may also drive the economic development of several villages."

Straw and wheat stalks are not worth much anyway.

Their Dabazi Village has developed now and is no longer as stingy as before.

Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea, Brother Li. If the problem of feed raw materials can be successfully solved, the production of biological feed can be expanded in the future."

Li Lei said, "I understand, Ziwen. I will discuss it with the team leader first, and then go to Xiaobazi Village and Niushan Village to talk to the people and try to get this done."

Zhou Ziwen said: "Okay, Brother Li, this matter depends on you. I will manufacture the crusher as soon as possible to improve the production efficiency of feed."

After the two of them had discussed it, they took action separately.

Li Lei went to the team leader to discuss going to other villages to obtain feed raw materials, while Zhou Ziwen returned to the pig farm warehouse to continue manufacturing the crusher.

Zhou Ziwen returned to the pig farm's warehouse and began to sort out the parts he had found from the scrap recycling station.

He carefully inspected each component to ensure that it could be used to make the new crusher.

He knew that the manufacture of this crusher was crucial to the expansion of the chicken farm, not only improving feed production efficiency but also reducing costs.

He first cleaned and repaired the gears and bearings he found to ensure they worked properly.

He then began assembling the main structure of the crusher, a process that required precise measurements and accurate assembly.

Relying on his own experience and skills, Zhou Ziwen carefully carried out each step.

During the assembly process, Zhou Ziwen also took into account the maintenance and operational convenience of the crusher.

He designed parts that are easy to disassemble and clean to ensure that future grinders will be easy to maintain on a daily basis.

Although these parts are not original, even the size and shape are different.

But Zhou Ziwen doesn't care about these, he only focuses on the functions of the components.

According to the characteristics and functions of each part, he skillfully combined them together, so that the main structure of the crusher gradually took shape.

When assembling the drive shafts, Zhou Ziwen found that one of the drive shafts was slightly too long. He picked up the tools and carefully cut and polished it to make its length meet the design requirements.

Then he connected the transmission shaft tightly to the gear and fixed it with screws to ensure smooth transmission of power.
