Chapter 0002: Chicken Farmers in Taohualing Village
Taohualing Village, Dazhai Township, Gangcheng County, Luzhong City, is located on a barren slope at the east end of the village, is the breeding base led by the Gangcheng County Government last year, a total of eight farmers, of which the third from the north is the chicken farm contracted by Wang Shaodong's family.
Of the eight households, three raise chickens, one raises ducks, and the remaining four raise pigs.
Last year, just after the Spring Festival, the Gangcheng County team decided to study and decide to take Taohualing Village in Dazhai Township as a key poverty alleviation target, and the poverty alleviation plan was to build a breeding base in Dongling, at the east end of the village.
The county gives preferential policies are also relatively strong, build a 1,000 square meters of steel structure chicken greenhouse, and the county will subsidize 30,000 yuan after passing the acceptance. Moreover, the leaders of the county animal husbandry bureau said that the farmers will be provided with technical guidance, contact seedlings and contact sales and other services throughout the process. The township and the village have also discussed that in the signed contract, the village will exempt the contractor from the five-year contract fee.
The policy is powerful enough, but after two months of mobilization, only eight households finally signed up.
Because although a chicken greenhouse in the county gives a subsidy of 30,000 yuan, it takes more than 60,000 yuan to invest in a 1,000-square-meter steel structure chicken greenhouse, and the remaining 30,000 yuan is also a large amount.
In 2001, there were not many farmers in Taohualing Village who could come up with so much money at once.
If it weren't for the county's help in applying for some loans, I'm afraid that there would not be even eight households that signed up in the end.
Besides, whether you can make money in the aquaculture industry is not at all in your heart.
Although it is said that every household in the ravine has the tradition of raising pigs, chickens, ducks and sheep, but when it comes to large-scale greenhouse free-range, everyone has no experience.
As we all know, three years ago, there was a greenhouse in Dazhai Village, Dazhai Township, which raised chickens in a small scale, and raised more than 1,000 red jade, three yellow, and hemp chickens at a time, but then a chicken plague, more than 1,000 chickens died in less than a week. The heartbroken farmers directly put aside the chicken greenhouse with a lot of investment and went to the south to work to pay off their debts.
In 2001, the aquaculture industry was an industry with uncertain prospects.
The Wang family believed the county's propaganda, took out the family's savings of 40,000 yuan, borrowed another 30,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and borrowed 100,000 yuan from the bank guaranteed by the government, a total of 170,000 yuan, and by the end of 2001, two chicken greenhouses were finally built. Later, after the county accepted the chicken greenhouse, it gave their family a financial subsidy of 60,000 yuan.
In order to go to this chicken farm, the Wang family took a total of 130,000 yuan in debt, and then there were 60,000 yuan in their hands as the capital of raising chickens.
Wang Shaodong's father, Wang Fumin, studied for a month in the training course for farmers organized by the county, and in March 2002, the Wang family finally got the first batch of chicken seedlings.
The chicks are contacted by the little grandson of the County Animal Husbandry Bureau, the authentic Sanhuang of Guangdong Province.
This type of chicken is characterized by its golden yellow paws, beak and tail hair, beautiful appearance and excellent meat quality.
Before 1995, the people of Gangcheng County have never seen this kind of chicken, and later Liu Dazhuang, a villager of Dazhai Village, who was the first to engage in greenhouse chickens, introduced this kind of chicken, and in a few years, it has also opened a certain market.
Four months have passed, and more than 30,000 yuan has been invested, seeing that the 2,000 three-yellow roosters raised by the Wang family are about to go on the market, but Wang Fumin does not know that a disaster is quietly coming.
The outbreak of avian influenza caused heavy losses to four poultry farmers, Wang Fumin, Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang.
Even because of the outbreak of avian flu, the four poultry farmers lost their confidence in doing this business for a while.
However, Wang Shaodong understands that there is definitely money to be made in poultry farming.
In his previous life, Wang Shaodong remembered clearly that after the outbreak of bird flu, poultry farming across the country was greatly impacted. In the market of Gangcheng County, the price of five-month-old roosters has dropped from eight yuan a pound to less than four yuan, and the price of chicken seedlings has dropped from two yuan and five dollars at the peak to three cents a piece.
However, Wang Fumin, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang, three poultry farmers who were frightened by the bird flu, did not dare to raise them at all. The bold Ma Zhentang directly rented the greenhouses of Wang Fumin, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang, and in August 2002, he was ruthless and smashed 30,000 greenhouses.
Just the chicken seedling money, Ma Zhentang saved more than 60,000 yuan.
Then at the end of 2002, there was a serious shortage in the raw chicken market, and the price of five-month-old roosters suddenly rose to seven yuan and five pounds. As a result, just that one time, Ma Zhentang earned 300,000 yuan.
Wang Shaodong knows very well that engaging in aquaculture in the countryside is definitely more productive than going to university.
In the two days of the college entrance examination, Wang Shaodong figured out that what he wanted was not a fast-paced life in a big city, but a leisurely life in the countryside.
After the college entrance examination, he set up a chicken farm with his parents at home, which is Wang Shaodong's first step.
At present, for Wang Shaodong, the most important job is to avoid the tragedy of losing all money in the farm due to the outbreak of avian flu.
Not only his own farm, Wang Shaodong hopes that the other three poultry farms will also survive the disaster.
After the college entrance examination, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili, a high school classmate from the same village, hired a three-wheeled motorcycle and went home with their luggage.
Ma Lili is Wang Shaodong's classmate from primary school to university, and she can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, and later Ma Lili was also admitted to Qilu Normal University, studying educational technology and teacher training. After graduating in 2006, he entered Luzhong No. 4 Middle School as an information technology teacher, and then married a worker in the cold rolling mill of Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant, and gave birth to two daughters.
The road to Taohualing Village was very bumpy, and looking at Ma Lili, who was sitting opposite him with a violently undulating chest, Wang Shaodong couldn't help but fall into reverie.
In his previous life, he was in his thirties and still couldn't find a daughter-in-law, so he couldn't be so indecisive on emotional issues in this life.
In his previous life, he later heard Han Kang say that Ma Lili actually liked herself in high school.
Think about it, although I can't say how handsome I look, but at least I am worthy of the audience, and I was a standard student in high school, and my scores in every exam are stable in the top two in the class, and it is reasonable for girls to like themselves.
The man is twenty-two years old, but he has reached the age of legal permission to get married, and he is now eighteen years old, and falling in love now is really not early love.
"Lili. ”
Ma Lili heard Wang Shaodong on the opposite side call herself, and hurriedly raised her delicate face.
"What's the matter?"
"Are you free tomorrow?" Wang Shaodong felt that he should attack Ma Lili.
