Chapter 0023 - The Idea of Raising Chickens
The thick whitish soup and the fragrance of pure wild crucian carp filled the whole house, and Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili had a great appetite.
In order to reassure the family, at Wang Shaodong's uncle's house, Ma Lili called the family.
After lunch, Ma Lili was in a hurry to go home, and then Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili went home with a bamboo basket and more than ten catties of fish. The remaining other bamboo basket was left to Zhao Shitang and Zhao Shihai.
After returning home, Ma Zhentang counted a few words to Ma Lili, but was stopped by Ma Lili's mother and didn't say much.
The daughter hit, and it was not good to say too much.
The time in the mountains is full of fun, and this is why Wang Shaodong finally understands the life he wants to live the most.
After Wang Shaodong went home, he lay on the bed, thinking about the situation just now on the Shizi River, and a small plan suddenly appeared in his heart.
In the upper reaches of the Shizi River, on the side of the Zhangjiawa in Qingquanling Village, there is a reservoir with a water area of seven or eight acres, which will be filled with water after the rainy season arrives every summer, and the deepest part is four or five meters. However, the bottom of the reservoir is full of stones, and in winter, the river water will seep all into the ground, and the reservoir will dry up.
If, in the next step, the bottom of the reservoir is cleared, and the bottom of the reservoir is waterproofed, so that a third of the water in the reservoir can be left in winter, then raising fish in it is definitely a play.
Zhangjiawa Reservoir is located on the boundary of Qingquanling Village, and it is inconvenient for a villager from Taohualing Village to contract there. However, this is not a problem, let my uncle Zhao Shihai come forward to contract, there will be no problem.
In my impression, the Zhangjiawa Reservoir has been abandoned, no one manages it, and no one pays attention to it, which is a pity.
Zhangjiawa is surrounded by a large area of barren grassland, and there is a steady stream of feed for grass carp, so there is no need to worry about it.
However, the problem now is that in order to implement this plan into reality, the investment required is really not a small amount, and it is impossible to do without 300,000 200,000 yuan, so Wang Shaodong needs to make a fuss on the chicken farm first, and earn the first pot of gold before he can have the next step.
When she woke up, Ma Lili came to find Wang Shaodong.
Today is the day when I went to Song Tao's house in Qishanguan Village, Huangzhuang Township to attend the class reunion, and when Wang Shaodong saw Ma Lili's reddened eyes, he was a little puzzled.
"What's wrong?" asked Wang Shaodong as he brushed his teeth on the east side of the patio and next to the vegetable garden.
Ma Lili pouted and said, "Dongzi, my dad won't let me go to Song Tao's house today." ”
Wang Shaodong paused for a moment, and said in his heart that Ma Zhentang must still be angry about Ma Lili following him to his uncle's house for dinner yesterday. As a father, he is always worried that his daughter will suffer a loss outside, which is also normal. However, this is obviously not at ease with himself, which makes Wang Shaodong a little unhappy.
"How can your dad do this? We didn't go to do anything else, you girls won't let you drink, what's wrong with your classmates getting together?"
After Wang Shaodong finished gargling, he crossed his waist and showed an unhappy expression on his face.
"Who knows what my dad thinks, he's always worried about that, I'm not a kid anymore. ”
As a daughter, there are not many people who can understand their father's good intentions.
At this time, Ma Lili's mother walked into Wang Shaodong's house with a smile, took Ma Lili's hand and said, "Lili, go home for dinner." ”
"I'm not hungry. Ma Lili pouted, as if she was angry with her parents.
Ma Lili is an only child, and her parents have been hoping to have another son, but her mother is not in good health and has never been able to achieve her wish.
The commonality of only children is that they have been pampered since childhood, and they are somewhat petty tempered. However, Ma Lili's personality is quite cheerful, and there is nothing after the incident has passed. This is much better than those who are endless and careful.
"Okay, Lili, let your Dongzi brother laugh, your father promised you to follow your Dongzi brother to your classmate reunion. ”
When Ma Lili heard this, she immediately became happy, and looked at her mother with a smile on her face: "Really?"
Ma Lili's mother didn't confirm with her daughter, but looked at Wang Shaodong and said, "Your sister Lili is stupid, take good care of her when you go together." ”
When Wang Shaodong heard this, he nodded hurriedly and agreed.
After breakfast, Wang Shaodong borrowed his father's 120 Qianjiang motorcycle, and then drove Ma Lili to the direction of Qishanguan Village, Huangzhuang Township.
When Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili arrived at Song Tao's house, it was already half past nine in the morning, and more than a dozen classmates near home were already waiting at Song Tao's house.
In my memory, in the summer vacation of 2002, Wang Shaodong participated in more than a dozen class reunions. At that time, class reunions were not popular to go to restaurants, generally to go to classmates' homes, and then parents fried a few dishes, and twenty or thirty people gathered together.
Song Tao's house is located in a vacant lot halfway up the mountainside of Qishan, with more than 20 bungalows built scattered, and there are several large fried chicken restaurants on Qishan.
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived, and then everyone climbed the chess mountain first at Song Tao's suggestion.
The chess mountain is not high, and it is only more than 200 meters, but it is a very famous mountain in Luzhong City, and it is one of the eight scenic spots in Luzhong.
The most famous thing on Qishan is Qishan fried chicken, and it is a pity not to eat Qishan fried chicken when you go to Qishan.
Ten people at one table, there were a total of three tables at the gathering at Song Tao's house, which was more than the number of people at the gathering at Wang Shaodong's house.
This time, all eight girls in their class arrived, and it seems that everyone's resistance to the temptation of food is still very low.
In general, the number of people who graduate from high school for the first two times is the most complete, and then the further you go, the fewer people are. Wait until the college entrance examination results are out, and then get together, it will be difficult for people to get together.
Wang Shaodong saw that in a ravine to the south of Song Tao's yard, there was a chicken pen five or six times larger than the chicken pen at home, and dozens of red jade roosters were raised in it.
Qishan fried chicken, most of the varieties selected are red jade, which can grow to a very large wood chicken, and the largest can weigh eight or nine catties.
Ten people, around two large pots of fried chicken, and then fried some vegetables, it is a very pleasant party.
During the meal, Meng Xiangang, a classmate from Qishan Guan Village, told everyone that Song Tao's fried chicken restaurant was very profitable, and he sold thirty or forty fried chickens a day. A chicken, on the dinner table, costs twenty-eight yuan per catty, while the price of buying a live chicken is only thirteen or fourteen yuan, and the profit is quite considerable.
Qishan fried chicken restaurant doesn't want Wang Shaodong's little roosters who have only been raised for four or five months, they want old chickens that have been raised for at least ten months, and that kind of chicken has the most mellow taste when stewed.
Hearing such information, Wang Shaodong calculated in his heart.
"The market price of four or five months of small roosters is only six or seven yuan a catty, and the price of a catty of live chickens in Qishan is thirteen or fourteen yuan.
When the rooster grows to five months, it eats only grain and no meat. Taking the red jade chicken as an example, it weighs six catties at about five months, and consumes about 12 catties of grain. Then, by the time of ten months, the average weight can reach about eight catties, and the consumption of grain is about fifty catties.
The total number of old roosters consumed on Qishan is more than 50,000 a year, and it can be said that in 2002, it should be in short supply.
Five-month-old roosters, if wholesale, according to the current wholesale price of 5 yuan, a chicken can have a profit of 12 yuan.
Ten months of old roosters are sold to fried chicken restaurants in Qishan, and the price of 13 yuan for a chicken should be robbed quickly, and then the profit of a chicken can be 30 yuan.
It seems that raising chickens is very rich.
After Wang Shaodong decided to go home, he discussed with his father the idea of raising chickens.
