Chapter 178: Receiving the Flock

All the apples in my cousin's orchard have been picked before they are frozen, and all but the ones that have been sold on time have been sorted and stored in the cellars that have been built for a long time. According to the current progress of the sale. These stored apples can probably be sold until the eve of the Spring Festival.

As a result of this year's green standard planting, the orchard yielded about a third less than in previous years. However, the effort spent on sales in previous years has been completely saved, and thanks to the high enough prices, combined with the income from climbing vines grown on the orchard fence, the total income is more than half of that of previous years.

Although the fruit trees planted in the base have basically survived, there is still a big gap between them and the fruits. Most of these trees are large saplings that are about three years old, but even if they can bear fruit next year, they will only bear very few fruits. In other words, next year's fruit sales can still only be based on my cousin's orchard, and the yield of a variety of fruit trees planted in my base will be negligible.

However, even in the high-yield period, the yield of these fruit trees will not be large, after all, they are only planted as landscape trees, and the total number is too small.

In the chicken farm, the small roosters that entered the field in August have entered the ranks of young chickens, but even during the Spring Festival, these small roosters are far from meeting the standards that can be sold, and the roosters that can be sold during the Spring Festival are only less than 200 Bai Laihang and Isa brown left in the first batch, and 600 firewood roosters that were deliberately left. It is conceivable that this bit of will definitely be snatched up by then.

In addition, Tagawa plans to get out a little bit of the black fish and soft-shelled turtle that have not yet grown up, and put them to test the water during the Spring Festival to see how everyone reacts to it. Now the soft-shelled turtle market is the hottest time, due to the emergence of the long-distance running industry with a huge influence of Ma Jiajun, all of a sudden the soft-shelled turtle pushed to the altar of nutrition, so that the price of soft-shelled turtle is like flying sky, from the original ten yuan a catty, directly jumped to nearly 100 yuan a catty, and is still in short supply. This batch of soft-shelled turtles from Tagawa is just in time for this good time, and once it is launched, it will inevitably be a hot seller. In addition, Tagawa's own achievements in long-distance running in the past few months are obvious to all, although he never uses this to promote the products of his base, but for insiders, this is more able to attract the attention of customers than ordinary advertising.

Milk sales on cattle farms have gained national attention after the last milk adulteration incident and two retaliatory injuries. And because he only sells to members and never takes out takeaways, this makes many people extremely dissatisfied. Especially some people who have a certain influence in Yongyang or Jin City, they are even more complaining about this. Tian Chuan summarized these dissatisfied groups of people and found that these groups of people basically have a certain amount of spending power and may become potential customers of the club. If it is developed, it is possible to build a consumer group similar to the Guoyun Club in Beijing.

However, if you want to expand the scale of the club to Tsu City, the existing base production capacity is completely inadequate. This requires more than doubling production capacity. The current site has been expanded to the limit, and if we want to significantly expand our production capacity, we need to build a new site.

Of course, there is another way, which is to build a new vegetable and breeding base on the more than 800 acres of land of the current agricultural cooperative in the village. The scale of this base can be much larger than the current 100 acres base, the only problem is that the planting area of grain crops can not meet the needs, and the forage and straw for breeding are not enough, and we need to find ways to expand the production of forage feed.

Tagawa never thought of pulling other nearby villages into this cooperative. The agricultural cooperative he established in Tianjia Village was itself experimental and of a welfare nature to the villagers of the same village, and the profits he himself could obtain from the cooperative's field cultivation had been reduced to a very small amount. If it is extended to other surrounding villages, it may lead to some new contradictions, and then the good things will become bad things, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

In addition, Liu Meiting is also under pressure to expand the scale of the club. Many people found her with the help of various relationships, hoping to join the Guoyun Club. Especially after the milk adulteration incident, the assassination incident, and Tagawa's athletics achievements, this call for expanding the membership was even stronger. However, the current base capacity is limited, and it is no longer possible to supply more members. Liu Meiting has asked Tagawa to expand the production capacity of the base more than once.

Tian Chuan hopes that outside of Tianjia Village, it is better to be closer to the capital, so that a relatively complete piece of land can be obtained to build a new production base for the capital, and the base here in Tianjia Village will be used as the production base of the new club in Tsu City, so that this problem can be solved.

If this is the case, then the location of the new production base will be the key to all problems.

For this new base, Tagawa's requirements are quite special. The area of this land should be more than 1,000 acres and should be connected. The property rights of the land should be clear, and there should be no property rights disputes. The surrounding traffic of this land should be more convenient to facilitate daily delivery. As for the arable nature of this land, his requirements are not too high, anyway, vegetables are grown off the soil, as long as the land used to grow food crops can reach the average level of field cultivation. The most stringent requirement for this land is that there are no chemical plants in the vicinity, and the residue of harmful chemicals in the land does not exceed his requirements for green planting, which can only be determined after his team conducts field sampling and testing.

After exchanging views with Liu Meiting on the expansion of the production base, Tian Chuan handed over the task of finding a new site to the asset management company, and finally decided to have Lin Wenlan take the lead, with the support of Liu Yinan's legal team, to select the site for the new base.

After leaving the matter of finding land to Lin Wenlan and Liu Yinan, Tian Chuan lived in the village for a few days, all as a holiday for himself.

The wheat in the field has entered overwintering mode, and all of them are lying on the ground, gathering strength in preparation for next spring's tillering. Tian Jianyu, an uncle who manages these lands, said that this year's wheat did not grow well because it did not use chemical fertilizer as base fertilizer, and the farmer's fertilizer still could not reach the fertility of chemical fertilizer, which was expected by Tian Chuan. The fertilizer used today is composed of biogas residue, green manure and used earthworm culture medium, and vegetable off-soil planting medium, and the total amount of fertilizer used to supply these fields is still insufficient. At present, all the pig manure of the pig farm in this village is treated by the biogas digester and used as fertilizer, which is barely enough to maintain the production of these lands, and more fertilizer will be needed in the future.

Tagawa couldn't help it, so he turned around and started the idea of the sewage discharged from the sewer in the village. This sewage, which is mainly formed by flushing toilets and kitchen water, has a lot of available nitrogen, but also contains a lot of detergents, which are harmful to the land, and there is no way to treat them harmlessly for the time being.

The sewage treatment plant in the west of the village is only for the daily sewage generated in the village, and the scale is not large, and the simplest land treatment method combining natural sedimentation treatment and oxidation ditch method is adopted. Because the total amount of sewage in the village is relatively small, less than 100 tons per day, after precipitation in a two-stage sedimentation tank, after flowing through a tortuous oxidation ditch, it basically meets the discharge standard and is directly discharged into the drainage and irrigation canal in the west of the village.

At the suggestion of Tagawa, the sludge in the sedimentation tank is regularly cleaned up, stacked with digestate and weeds, sealed and disinfected, and then made into fertilizer for the production of field crops. At present, near the sewage pond in the west of the village, a compost field with an area of more than ten acres has been cleared. However, at present, the sewer system in the village has been built in a relatively short time and has not yet formed a scale.

Just as Tagawa returned to the village and on the third day, something unexpected happened. Wang Cripple, a professional sheep farmer in the village, suddenly had a brain hemorrhage at night, and his old mother, who was dependent on him, called the village chief Wang Dayong for help, and Wang Dayong called Tian Chuan, who happened to be in the village, and sent Wang Cripple to the county hospital together. After the rescue, Wang Cripple was out of danger, but the large flock of sheep that continued to raise him was already powerless.

When Wang was hospitalized, his mother, who was over 70 years old, could neither take care of him in the hospital, nor could she take care of the more than 100 sheep he had at home. Tian Chuan paid for Wang Cripple to hire a nurse in the hospital to take care of his life, and asked a person from the cattle farm to come to his house several times a day to help him take care of the sheep.

Two days later, when the lame man came to his senses, he made a decision to sell his flock to Tian Chuan at a low price. Tian Chuan did not agree for the time being, he hoped to wait for Wang Cripple to be discharged from the hospital before making a decision, so as not to regret it after his body recovered. But the lame king insisted, his reason was that he was already a little unable to take care of the sheep because he was getting older. After this illness, I didn't want to work anymore. He said: "In the past few years, I have earned enough money for myself and my wife, especially since the development of tourism, I have made a lot of money." This group of sheep will be sold for more than 100,000 yuan, and then there will be only one thing left to enjoy life. ”

Realizing that the meaning of Wang Cripple was true, Tian Chuan finally bought his sheep at the market price under the witness of Wang Dayong, Tian Long and other village cadres, and incorporated this flock into his base.

Tagawa had a sheepfold built next to the cattle farm, and a man was added to combine the sheep and cattle to raise them. Then he asked someone to help Wang Cripple clean up the yard where the sheep were raised, and the yard and house were cleaned up, and by the time Wang Cripple was discharged, his yard was already a very beautiful place.
