97. Raw material crisis
Zhou Changtai, who was in a hurry, was asking Brother Zhao at this time: "Your knotting method is very good, did your father teach it?
Brother Zhao looked at him with disdain, his clichés were not technical, and he didn't know how his face in front of his son-in-law was mixed up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info but still answered his question seriously, when she was an ordinary and harmless village girl, no one would think of checking her, but when she behaved differently, she had to show reassuring sincerity, proving that she was just smart and not ill-intentioned.
After all, everyone is afraid of a what if!
"How do you people with great strength know the pain of those of us who have no strength, and you can't do anything if you don't think of a lighter way. Seeing that Zhou Changtai looked disappreciative, he smiled at his younger brother: "Haha, I lied to you!"
"You know that I have a lot of sisters in my family, and I like to fiddle with some ropes and threads, and once I accidentally found that this can save effort, and then I tried it when I was fine, and I tried it like this. In fact, there are many ways to save effort, or why don't you pay for two?"
"Dream about you, drop the money in your eyes, think about everything, I think you have earned gold and silver!" Zhou Changtai scoffed.
Supposedly you shouldn't have said these things to a little girl, even if she was young.
It's just that remote places are not very particular, and in addition to her being a weak woman, she really doesn't look like a girl no matter how she acts or speaks, and she is very good at bargaining when she talks about things, and even Mr. He said that if she is not a daughter, she should really eat this bowl of rice.
It's just that, in Zhou Changtai's opinion, this daughter's body is not hindered by her at all!
Think about the little ladies in the capital who only know how to drink tea and enjoy flowers and eat their teeth all day long, I can only sigh that children without mothers are bitter, they can't enjoy what they should enjoy, and they should not do it!
After separating from Zhou Changtai, Zhao Di went to find Xu Butcher.
It's a good thing to have a business, but it's a sad thing to have a business but not be able to take it.
Xu Butcher is so painful and happy now, since he met Brother Zhao, his business has improved several times all of a sudden, but now it is embarrassing, almost all the pigs that can be collected around him have been collected by him, and the rest are people who want to keep them for the New Year.
But Brother Zhao is there every day, and when he saw Brother Zhao coming, Butcher Xu also had something to discuss with her.
"What? You want to go out to collect pigs, and you won't be able to sell meat for about ten days?" Zhao Di was surprised by Xu Butcher's decision: "In the past, you only went out for three or five at most, why did it take so long this time?"
Xu Butcher is helpless, if you can, who is willing to work so hard: "Little lady, in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, almost all the pigs that can be collected have been collected, not that I want to leave for a long time, but if I can't go out to collect some pigs and put them back, I'm afraid that I will have to buy them at a high price during the New Year." ”
Once the balance of supply and demand formed for a long time is broken, after all, there will be a party that has no time to deal with it, such as pigs, which have a long production cycle, and they can't change it all at once, so they can only make plans in advance and come back first.
Xu Butcher only informed him that the itinerary had been set a long time ago. It's just that his words also hit the hidden worries of recruiting younger brothers, and the worries that have always been on the table must also be considered and prepared.
If we divide the development of this place in the southwest in the past ten years, it can be roughly divided into three stages: the first three years are the stage when we are struggling to survive and can gain a firm foothold in this place. In the middle five years, it is a dormant period of recuperation and recuperation, and gradually improve the production conditions of their own homes, and in recent years, it is the stage of gradual development and communication.
What Xu Butcher exposed was only a little dilemma in terms of meat, but in fact, if Zhao Di didn't think about it in advance, according to her current development momentum, she would soon encounter a food crisis.
It is relatively easy for Zhaodi to buy raw materials now, farmers can buy them at home, and they can also buy them in rice stores. However, every day, Zhao Di will ask the rice shop to send the rice, flour and soybeans that he needs every day.
The biggest reason is that in the short term, she has consumed several years of food here, which is not obvious now, and it is easy to detect after a long time. Everything in the world is like this, the more it is, the cheaper it is, and the less it is, the higher the price will naturally be.
If she could, Brother Zhao even wanted to exchange all the money in the family for food, but now she is looking at what is not enough. The southwest region is vast and the climate is okay, why is it a barren land without people?
It's not because almost all of them are mountains, there are no large areas of fertile land, not to mention, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, because there are no people, there are many rotten things in the mountains, the temperature is high, there is a lot of rain, and gradually there are many miasma, and no one comes here.
Now when it is said that the land is cultivated, most of them are terraced fields in the mountains with fewer stones, and the output of backward productive forces and barren land can be high?
Because of the inconvenience of transportation, trade with the outside world has naturally been affected, and now these officers and soldiers who have come in have actually broken the balance of supply and demand here, and when the year passes, the new prefect will take office, and the new officers and soldiers will come in.
But Zhao Di has no manpower or connections to use, since far water can't save the near fire, then find a way to make enough water available nearby.
Food or something can be postponed a little, this is not in a hurry, and the agricultural time is in charge there. But the others can be moved first in normal times.
The Zhao family has expanded the scale of rabbit and chicken breeding, but how many poultry are raised by just one family? How much can it do at most? Usually reluctant to eat, I feel that more may not be enough for others to eat.
Take chickens as an example, not to mention Zhaodi's own big chickens, in addition to the fact that almost all the breeding chickens have been killed, the village has also been bought by her, and now she has begun to buy the neighboring villages.
However, these are far from enough, if you want to meet the requirements of recruiting brothers, you must expand the scale, and you have to control it in your own hands, otherwise others will sit on the ground and start the price for recruiting brothers.
What's more, without seeing the actual benefits, no one would abandon the right path of growing crops and devote their time and energy to a side business if they want to change the experience of their ancestors for countless generations.
Zhao Di can only do it herself, at least she is not afraid of no market, and she will solve it by self-production and self-sales. But now in front of her: no land, no people! )
