Li Yi knew that his father was definitely going to find Uncle Feng, the village party secretary, when he pulled him, so he followed him closely.

Sure enough, after a while, his father took him to the Feng family!

At this time, Uncle Feng's house was finishing eating, gruel boiled potatoes, and a few nests mixed with bud rice noodles.

The Feng family has more than a dozen people, and it is still a little shabby to eat this little thing.

In fact, this is normal, although Uncle Feng is the village party secretary, he has no salary, and his annual income is the same as that of ordinary members, relying on the production team to distribute food.

So, don't think that the village party secretary will definitely be able to eat enough, in fact, this is not the case!

Seeing the Li family's father and son pushing the door and walking in, Feng Kai was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Brother Shankui, Xiao Yi, why are you here, have you eaten?" ”

Li Shankui immediately said: "Uncle He, the two of us came here to talk to you about the rations in the village!" ”

Feng Kai immediately asked: "What's the ration, Brother Shankui, your old Li family shouldn't be short of this bit of food, right?" ”

Without waiting for his father to speak, Li Yi took over the conversation: "Uncle Feng, my father saw that there is a big food gap in the village this year, and many families may not even have enough basic rations, so he wants me to help the villagers, do you think this is necessary?" ”

Feng Kai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it necessary... Of course it's necessary, Xiao Yi, do you have a way? ”

"Well, I have some ideas, Uncle Feng, you listen to the total first!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, you say, I'll listen!"

"My idea is to build a breeding base in our village!"

"What... Breeding base? What are you going to raise? Feng Kai immediately asked.

"Sheep and cows!"

"Raising cattle and sheep, there are a few cattle in our village, but there are no sheep!" Feng Kai said in surprise.

"Uncle Feng, listen to me first, our village has no grain harvest this year, but there is a lot of straw or something, and in previous years, these things were distributed to the members as firewood..."

Before the words fell, I heard Uncle Feng's eldest son Feng Dahu speak: "What else can you do if you don't burn firewood?" ”

Li Yi smiled and said: "In addition to being used as firewood, straw can also be used as forage for livestock, and it is also a good forage. ”

Feng Kai is also a shrewd person, and when he reacted, he immediately said, "You mean to use these straws to raise cattle and sheep?" ”

"Well, if you raise cattle and sheep and sell them for money, and distribute them to the members, won't you be able to make up for the lack of rations!" Li Yi said.

"Having said that, but there are so many people in our village, it doesn't matter if there are fewer cattle and sheep, where should we find so many cattle and sheep if there are more?" Feng Kaidao.

"I've already thought about this, we can go to Houcaodi (pastoral area) to buy cattle and sheep!"

Then Li Yi continued: "The cattle and sheep in the back grassland have a slaughtering season, that is, in September, in addition to the reserved ewes, the lambs with a growth period of more than half a year will be slaughtered!" ”

"But there are also some lambs and calves that have just been laid for a month or two, because they are too young to be slaughtered, and these lambs and calves have become a burden in the eyes of the herders."

"Why is it a burden?" Feng Dahu asked puzzled.

Without waiting for Li Yi to explain, Feng Kai spoke: "The winter in the back grassland is too cold, it is difficult for these little lambs and calves to survive, they either freeze to death or starve to death, do you say it is a burden!" ”

"That's right!"

Li Yi immediately said: "So my idea is that we will send people to the back grassland now, specially buy this kind of lambs and calves that are not rare among herdsmen, and then pull them back to our village to raise." ”

"In addition, when the cattle and sheep grow up, I will buy them at the market price, what do you think!"

Feng Kai took a few puffs of dry tobacco, thought for a moment, and then said: "The idea is good, but if you want to do this, the cost is not small, and you need a lot of money to buy cattle and sheep first." ”

"Uncle Qian, you don't have to worry, I can fund to help the big guy buy lambs and calves, but in the end, no matter how much profit I make, I need half of the net profit!"

Feng Kai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Xiao Yi, do you mean that you buy cattle and sheep, and the team will help you raise them, and when the cattle and sheep are sold, half of them will be distributed in the village?" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the other cadres in the village tomorrow, and then I'll give you an answer!" Feng Kaidao.

"Well, then you hurry up, I'll leave for the capital in a day or two!" Li Yi said.

Hearing this, Feng Kai immediately asked, "Qiangzi told me about this that day, do you really plan to go to the capital?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Have you figured out what to do in the capital?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Do you really want to take Qiangzi and Dongzi with you?"

"Yes, but the premise is that the adults in their family agree, and I won't bring it if they don't agree!" Li Yi said.

"That's it, take the hadner with you when you leave, and you don't have to pay him, just bring him back with all his beards and tails when you come back!" Feng Kaidao.

"Okay!"

And the strong son on the side said with a smile: "Grandpa, do you agree that Brother Yi and I will go to the capital?" ”

"It's okay to go, but you kid has to listen to Xiao Yi, don't make trouble!" Feng Kaidao.

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you say!"

"You kid... Hey, learn more with Xiao Yi! Feng Kaidao.

"Got it!"

After talking about the matter, the Li family father and son said goodbye and came out of the Feng family!

As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Shankui frowned and said, "You kid didn't say that he wanted to post money when he was at home!" ”

Although he also wants to help the villagers, if he wants to help others and let his son pay for it, Li Shankui himself is not willing.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Dad, are you worried that I will lose money?" ”

"Nonsense, it is said that the family has a lot of money, and the hairy ones don't count, and you have to take risks when you raise livestock!" Li Shankui said.

"Dad, having said that, we are not buying newborn lambs and calves, and the survival rate is still very high."

Then Li Yi continued: "The most important thing is that the price of this kind of cattle and sheep in the grassland is not high at the moment, I estimate that the price of a sheep will not exceed 20 yuan, or even more than ten yuan, after all, a pound of mutton is less than two yuan!" ”

"But when the lamb grows up, even if it only kills 30 to 40 catties of meat, it will be seventy or eighty yuan, three or four times the profit. If it's a cow, the profit is even higher! ”

Li Shankui frowned and said, "Are you really sure?" ”

"Hmm!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Besides, even if it is really risky, it doesn't matter, just let me repay the villagers." In the past few years, I have not been less Huohuo folks, it is everyone who has tolerated me, and now that the big guys are in trouble, I should help everyone. ”

"Money is just something outside the body, even if you lose it, you can earn it back in the future!"

When Li Yi said this, he was sincere, but he thanked the villagers not all because of the present, but more because of the past life.

In his previous life, he left home out of guilt, the eldest sister was gone, the third sister also ran away from home, and only the second sister was still far away in Yaogou Village, and she could only come to see her father and mother occasionally.

And during that time, my father's state was not very good, and I relied on the help of the villagers.

Especially those little brothers, in the years when they were away, they were busy and really helped a lot.

Li Yi has always kept these things in mind, so he thought about taking these little brothers to the capital together, thinking about helping the villagers survive this food crisis.

As for money, if you lose it, you lose it!

What's more, according to Li Yi's analysis, the possibility of losing money cannot be said to be none, but it is minimal!
