This year's summer planting is different from previous years. The villages outside the embankment have changed their planting habits in previous years and began to plant summer cotton on a large scale.

Driven by Hantun Village, most of the villages in Hetan have planted summer cotton in the past two years, and the output can reach 400 catties of seed cotton.

In the villages outside the embankment, the arable land is barren, the sandy loam soil is still somewhat saline, the yield of sorghum beans is low, and the cultivation of cotton and sweet potatoes is no worse than the silt in the river beach.

In previous years, people outside the embankment have been eating sweet potatoes for many years, and when they see sweet potatoes, they will spit sour water, and with a suitable choice, people have completely abandoned sweet potatoes, and each family has a maximum of half an acre, which is only enough to eat fresh sweet potatoes.

The state buys a large amount of cotton, and sells it to the supply and marketing cooperatives to receive cash on the spot. The average price of seed cotton is 0.40 yuan a catty, and even if an acre of summer cotton is harvested at 300 catties, it is much more suitable than planting soybeans and sorghum.

Although the quality of insect-resistant cotton that has been planted for several years has deteriorated, the quality is still much higher than that of the current traditional cotton species.

At least the insect resistance is good, basically no forking, cotton wool fiber is long, saving time and labor, except for picking cotton, and planting soybeans.

The income is much higher than that of soybeans, soybeans are planted in sandy land, the yield per mu is up to 200 catties, and the price of soybeans is low, only about 0.25 yuan per catty, and it is difficult to sell.

After the wheat harvest, a new round of big livestock fever began. The wheat season is still improvised, but in the autumn it is not possible, ploughing and raking the land must use large livestock, and relying on manpower to plough the land must be a mistake.

In fact, it is not difficult to feed a cow, and each family has wheat straw, let alone feed one, and two animals can't eat it all. Therefore, when the cows in the family give birth, they feed themselves, just enough for a round (set) of livestock, and plow and harrow the land for their own house.

After the wheat harvest, Luo Xinhua asked for help from the Linshui Office in Shenzhen, hoping that Linshui would provide assistance in flour.

In the past two years, the foreign population in Shennan has increased dramatically, and the food supply has been tight, and the state's planned grain quota is simply insufficient.

In the early 80s, most of the people who came to Shennan to work were doing heavy physical work, and the food supply quota planned by the state was simply not enough to eat.

Most of the workers used by Zhenhua Company are waterfront, who are not used to eating rice and like to eat white flour steamed buns. Rice is easier to buy in the south, but flour is more difficult to buy in the south. And the price is super high, the market price of each pound of flour has reached one yuan.

Last year, there were few enterprises in Shennan, and the government could give some special care. This year, with the increase in foreign-funded enterprises, the government can not take care of them, and the enterprises have to find their own way.

The grain state implements the policy of internal allocation, and the help provided to them by the waterfront land committee is also limited, and the key is that the grain bureau is all grain at a low price, and the target is also limited.

The uncle went home to discuss with his uncle and grandfather, and he was going to let Hantun Village build a flour mill. Village-level collective enterprises are relatively flexible in operation and can be purchased and sold at market prices.

Besides, food is a state-controlled material, and large-scale procurement must have food system indicators. However, flour does not have this restriction and can be transported over long distances.

After the completion of the flour mill, it can not only provide help to Zhenhua Company in Shennan, but also sell to other companies in Shennan through Zhenhua Company to increase the production capacity of flour mills. In this way, the peasants' difficulty in selling grain has also been solved, and three wins have been achieved with one stone.

The flour mill in Hantun, under the impetus of the uncle who aided the DPRK, was quickly built, the village office behind the hospital was all bulldozed and rebuilt, and the two-story large workshop, all of which were steel frame structures, was also built by a construction company in the waterfront area.

The installation of the equipment and the construction of the factory were carried out together, and the people who came to Hantun saw it and said: "How much does this cost, Hantun Village is really rich, I'm afraid the commune can't get this money." ”

They are really right, the price of large-scale equipment in the flour mill is really high, the cost of the plant is also high, plus the large warehouse and transport vehicles, the total investment has reached more than 2 million yuan.

However, this money is really nothing to Hantun Village. The investment in the flour mill is not only this, but also the working capital requires a large amount of money.

After the establishment of the flour mill project, the target of five liberated trucks was given, and with the addition of the original three, there were eight liberated trucks in Hantun Village alone.

Fortunately, the people in the village are all car fans, not only men, but also children and women, who have the opportunity to go to the wheat field and learn to drive two laps, and the village basically cares.

In the past two years, more and more people in the village can drive, and there are more than 20 people with driver's licenses.

No matter what era it is, men have car dreams, and as soon as these three trucks arrive, everyone is vying for self-recommendation, and finally it is the old way, voting for the election.

"Hantun Village has harvested wheat, 0.30 yuan per catty. The news spread so fast that there was no need for publicity, first from nearby villages, and then from afar, with rows of cars pulling wheat, squeezing the road to Hantun.

The commune's grain office arranged two quality inspectors to help control the quality. The people who sell grain are more than 1,000 catties. It can be seen from this that the food and clothing of the masses is no longer a problem.

The number of people selling grain, pigs, and garment factories in various villages has increased dramatically. With the increase in the number of diners, the scale of the houses in the village is getting bigger and bigger.

The sales of Youyou's consignment point have increased greatly, and grandpa himself can't be busy at all, so Aunt Hongying took her niece over again and helped grandpa, like the workers recruited in Hantun Village, with a salary of 60 yuan per month.

Seeing that other people in the village came to work in Hantun, she always wanted her aunt to find her a job too.

Grandpa's small sales point is famous for its high quality and low price, with daily sales of more than 2,000 yuan and a profit of at least 300 yuan.

After the little girl came, whenever it was time to cook, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help, and it was much more relaxed.

A month passed, the flour mill was built and trial production began. 50 tons of wheat are processed per day, and all the flour produced is sold to the Shennan Special Economic Zone.

The railway station near the water was chartered into a carriage by the flour mill in Hantun Village, and flour was transported to Shennan every day.

The investment of the flour mill is high, but compared with other enterprises in the village, the profit is not much, the monthly profit is only 100,000 yuan, which is about the same as the profit of the meat factory for two days.

In the early eighties, enterprises with an annual profit of one million yuan belonged to medium-sized enterprises. Among the county-level enterprises, it can be regarded as a pillar enterprise.

However, the current county-level enterprises are all state-owned enterprises, and they are restricted in their purchase and sales due to the constraints of the state's planned economy, but they do not have the flexibility of village-level enterprises.

This is also the purpose of the uncle who aided the DPRK to build a flour mill in Hantun Village, and if the village level can invest 2 million yuan at one time, I am afraid that the whole district will not be able to find a second one.
