Chapter 8 Forced Buying and Selling?

Remember [39] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!

In the village chief's house, Wei Chengmo and the village chief each sat at the table of the Eight Immortals.

The village chief held a cigarette in his hand, flipped through the account book and said, "A total of 20 tons of straw from our village and neighboring villages are all here, with a total of 4,000 yuan."

You see if you leave the money with me and let them come to collect it, or if you go door-to-door and deliver it to people's doors. ”

Wei Chengmo smiled, took out a large stack of banknotes and put them on the table, "Seventh Uncle, you are the village head, then work harder, you shout on the loudspeaker, let them all come to you to receive the money."

I'm just stopping by today, and I'm mainly talking about contracting land. ”

The village chief counted the money and said indifferently, "What is there to talk about, just tell me how much land you want, 1,000 acres, 3,000 acres, 5,000 acres, or 10,000 acres?"

The three village groups of our brigade have a total of more than 30,000 acres of land, most of which is barren, and people have gone to the city to work. ”

Wei Chengmo was thinking about how much land he could plant, and asked, "So, Uncle Seven, have you negotiated with the people in the village?" ”

The village chief showed a sly expression, and said angrily, "What is there to talk about, I will contract directly in the yuan, and they must call me in a hurry?" ”

Wei Chengmo looked the village chief up and down, "Uncle Seven, have you eaten the surface of the water?" This is a crime, do you know Uncle Seven? Why don't we rent it for 30 yuan per acre? ”

The village chief put the counted money neatly on the table, "Fart, can you talk?" The village department has no money to spend, do you know? The roof is rotten and leaking, I make some money for the village department, do you have any opinions? ”

Wei Chengmo hurriedly shook his head, "Actually, I have no opinion this year, will I drop 5 yuan per mu of land next year?" ”

The village chief's eyes widened, and he roared, "You kid told me that 40 yuan a mu of land, contracted for 10 years, what?" Expensive, huh? ”

Wei Chengmo plucked his ears, "Forget it, I will contract 500 acres, and if I want to be contiguous, the contract fee will be owed first, and there is not so much money." ”

The village chief's head stretched out, and his neck dragged the elder, "Become a demon? How is it only 500 acres? I'll give you 10,000 acres, and pay part of the rent first, what do you think? ”

Wei Chengmo shook his head, "Seventh Uncle, I don't have that much money, and I can't afford to hire people, alfalfa grows fast, if there is a need in the future, then expand the planting area." ”

"500 acres of land, a machine, a machine operator, planted in a few days, it seems that you really don't plan to hire people."

Wei Chengmo has already calculated that one acre of land can produce 1,500 kilograms of dried alfalfa a year, and his alfalfa output next year can reach 900 tons. The amount of forage consumed by a cow in a year is about 4 tons.

In this way, even if the number of cattle raised next year doubles, it will not affect the supply of feed.

Summer turned to autumn, the alfalfa in the field was cut stubble after stubble, Wei Chengmo became darker than usual, the skin on his face became rougher, and his big hands were covered with calluses and dead skin.

The sun-dried hay is piled up on the high ground next to the cowshed. And taking care of the haystack has also become a headache for Uncle Liu.

A group of children led by Wei Xiaoxiao and Tiger Head climbed up and down the mountain-like pile all day long. Sometimes they even make a hole in the pile and hide in it to sleep.

In autumn, the yellow leaves fell from the trees, the weeds began to slowly wither, and the last alfalfa in the field was harvested. Wei Chengmo deliberately gave his fifth uncle Wei Zhankui a three-day vacation. Because the fifth uncle has been really hard in the past few months.

And Wei Chengmo himself pulled the family's cart, with a broom and an iron fork, and walked through the various woods.

Collecting leaves and withered grass became Wei Chengmo's main work during this period.

Optimistic about a forest with dense yellow leaves, Wei Chengmo first shook the tree poles one by one, shaking down as many leaves as possible, and then swept them up. Packed into a large, specially sewn snakeskin bag.

Truckloads of large quantities of leaves were pulled back by Wei Chengmo and dried on the barren beach next to the cattle farm.

The original contracted 10 acres of barren beach was planted by Uncle Baoyi with a plant called Giant Juncao, which is a green plant that grows up to three meters high.

Nearly 10 acres, a sea of green, and every 40 days or so, Wei Chengmo estimated that he could harvest about 20~30 tons of forage a year.

However, the crude protein contained in Giant Juncao is not as high as that of alfalfa, that is, about 10%. But planting Giant Juncao can reduce the purchase of a lot of corn stalks.

Looking at the 50 Simmental cows, many of which were grazing freely on the pasture, Wei Chengmo couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.

said to the equally happy old Uncle Liu, "Uncle, our cow grows fast?" You didn't say anything about your cattle feeding skills. ”

The smile on Uncle Liu's face was like a chrysanthemum, wrinkled, "Hehe, the average growth of four catties a day, the growth of 600 catties in five months, and now a cow weighs at least 900 catties." ”

Wei Chengmo nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that after the Spring Festival, it should be ready to be sold." ”

Uncle Liu looked at the herd with fascination, "Raise it to 1,300 catties, if the meat quality of these cattle is slightly better, it is estimated that the price can exceed 1 million." ”

"How to sell, we'll decide then, but now that the weather has started to get cooler, do we need to heat the cowshed in winter?"

"When we built the cowshed, we took into account that the earth heating would be burned in winter, and it would be better to keep the room temperature at 20 degrees in order to keep the cattle from losing fat."

"Becoming a demon...... Chengmo, I've been looking for you for a while, so you're here! Wei Zhankui left out of breath.

Wei Chengmo turned around, "Fifth uncle, why are you in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" ”

Wei Zhankui took a few breaths before continuing. "It's a good thing, someone asked you to buy alfalfa, saying that they wanted to buy it in large quantities."

Wei Chengmo looked casual, handed Wei Zhankui a cigarette, and his eyes were cold, "Does the fifth uncle know what kind of person it is?" ”

Wei Zhankui waved his hand, "The cattle farm is full of forage, so I won't smoke." The person who wants to buy forage is Ma Ganiu, a farmer in the county seat, with 300 Luxi cattle, and is a large breeder in Xiji County. ”

Wei Chengmo rubbed his jaw, "Fifth uncle, this thing is a little strange. We only have 50 cows, and we don't have a good reputation. Even the surrounding villages don't know that we raise cattle here, and this ready-made cattle breeder wants to buy materials from us......"

Old Uncle Liu looked at the tall haystack in the distance and said. "Although our five puppies are only half a year old and not very big, they can also play the role of gatekeepers, and I will be tied outside from tonight."

Old Uncle Liu glanced at Wei Zhankui, then at Wei Chengmo, and sighed helplessly, "Old Five, in the summer, Chengmo brought back a test report, which is estimated to be the ......bane of this test report."

Wei Zhankui's eyes were cold, "What's going on?" Didn't you just say which batch of alfalfa was better? ”

Uncle Liu didn't answer Wei Zhankui's question, but asked, "Do you know why ordinary feed is just concentrate feed and can't be whole feed?" ”

Wei Zhankun said angrily, "What's so difficult about this? Isn't it said that there is a saponin in alfalfa, which can cause a lot of foam in the rumen of ruminants, causing bloating disease? ”

"Yes, this is one thing, the crude protein content of another dried alfalfa is about 18%, do you know what is the crude protein content of alfalfa of the adult demon seed?"

Wei Zhankui said impatiently, "If there is a fart, let it go, hurry up, the guests are still waiting?" ”

Uncle Liu was not angry, "In Chengmo's test report, the crude protein content of dried alfalfa is 30%, and it does not contain that kind of saponin, which is almost a high-quality all-plastic pasture." And not a batch of sativa, but all of them. ”

Old Uncle Liu said this and pointed to the cattle in the distance, "You have also seen that this cow is 900 catties, have you ever seen other feeds that I have fed a lot of cattle in the past few months?" ”

Wei Zhankui's face also changed at this time, "No wonder what you said was vague at the beginning, it turns out that there is such a deep secret in it." ”

The two didn't say anything else, nor did they ask Wei Chengmo about the secret method of planting forage, in fact, Wei Zhankui knew the whole process of alfalfa planting.

The alfalfa seeds were bought by Wei Zhankui, slightly higher quality alfalfa seeds, but there was an extra process in the middle, and they were soaked in water by Wei Chengmo for a few hours, but they were soaked in front of him and Lao Liu at that time, and nothing else was added at that time.

Then he took it to plant, and it was no different from growing crops.

Wei Chengmo didn't care about these things at this time, and was known by the fifth uncle, because Wei Zhankui was involved in the cultivation of alfalfa, and Uncle Liu was also involved in the brewing of alfalfa seeds. There is no place to see no one.

In fact, this was also Wei Chengmo's deliberate demonstration in front of the two of them, saying that he didn't have any secrets to hide from them, at least on the surface.

But what everyone doesn't know is that these springs are mixed with a glass of pale green liquid, and the soaked alfalfa seeds are genetically altered.

Wei Chengmo, Wei Zhankui, and Uncle Liu, the three of them walked together to the tea shed where the old people usually played chess.

Wei Chengmo, who was far away, saw two middle-aged people wearing white hats unique to ethnic minority Hui people sitting there. The old people who played chess with a few villages were chatting from time to time.

Wei Chengmo strode over and said hello to the old man in the village. Pull a stool and sit down, and said to the two middle-aged Hui people, "I heard that the two of you are looking for me by themselves, and I don't know what is going on." ”

A middle-aged man with a mustache, small eyes, and a hooked nose looked Wei Chengmo up and down, and said slowly, "You are Wei Chengmo?"

My name is Ma Ganiu, the owner of *** Ganiu Farm.

I heard that you have a lot of alfalfa here, so come and talk to you about a business, buy a batch of alfalfa, and preferably we can sign a long-term supply contract. ”

Another Muslim also set his eyes on Wei Chengmo, and there was no unusual expression on his dark face, but his tall figure gave people a chilling deterrent.

Wei Chengmo frowned, "I don't know who you listened to, but I do grow alfalfa, but the quantity is very small, and the yield is not high, only 300 acres, barely enough for my own cattle to eat." Wei Chengmo deliberately undersaid the amount he planted.

The middle-aged man with the eagle nose showed a far-fetched smile. "Young man, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory price, I will pay 1,000 yuan for a ton of alfalfa, which is several times the price of ordinary straw, and you will not suffer a loss if you sell alfalfa to me."

Is this going to be forced to buy? Or is it an open robbery? 1,000 yuan a ton, even ordinary alfalfa is not beautiful.

Wei Chengmo sneered, "You're joking, don't say that I don't have so many alfalfa here, even if I do, at the price of 1,000 yuan, I'll keep it for my own cow." ”

At this time, a group of old people playing chess also heard that the atmosphere here was wrong. One by one, they stopped the chess pieces in their hands and looked at them.

A middle-aged and elderly man with a sturdy body, a tall body, and a gray beard stood up and walked up to Wei Chengmo in two steps. Before he could speak, an invisible momentum made people chill.

"Maga Niu?"

"Yes, you are?"

"I heard that there is a sixth master in Chenjiagou, what's the matter? You third master has been in prison for many years, and now you want to jump out and take the lead? ”

The hook-nosed Huimin's small eyes shrank, like the eyes of a hungry wolf, staring at the old man, and his tone was suddenly cold, "Who are you?" ”

"Ha, old man, my name is Wei Hong, 78 years old this year, I am the fifth grandfather of Cheng Mo, and I was lucky enough to participate in the war to aid Korea."

"Sizzle" Ma Ganiu gasped, his face turned blue, "Old man Hong? I've heard of you......

You came out of that military district?

What happened to me in Chenjiagou back then......

Is the Shachen incident ......"

Old Man Wei snorted coldly, "Boy of the Ma family, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”

Ma Ganiu shivered, turned around suddenly, stared at Wei Zhankui and said, "So your name is Wei Zhankui?"

Thank you for your attention to my Chenjiagou for so many years. ”

Wei Zhankui smiled arrogantly, his body straightened, "You're polite, you're polite, thank you Sixth Master Ma for remembering Wei."

However, what is in the past is in the past, and if you mention it again, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat. ”

Ma Ganiu stood up abruptly and flapped his sleeve. said coldly to Wei Chengmo, "I'll just say that there are so many soldiers in Weijia Village, even you, a little baby, came out as a soldier, and it turns out that Master Hong has an idea in it."

But you'd better grow up faster, kid.

The phoenix that falls on the shelf is not as good as a chicken, not to mention that people will always die......

Otherwise, I won't be blamed then......"

Wei Chengmo didn't say a word, looked at the two uninvited guests coldly, and drove away in an off-road vehicle.

Old Man Wei Hong patted Wei Chengmo on the shoulder, and said in a long voice, "Become a demon!" You are one of the most promising people of your generation. Work hard, as long as the fifth grandfather is alive for a day, the young people around here will not dare to touch a single hair of our old Wei family.

However, in our county, due to special reasons, their power is deep-rooted, and there are their people in large and small departments.

For some reason, I changed jobs ahead of schedule, and after so many years, there is nothing left, and my brothers are old.

Besides, people in the army can easily not interfere in local government affairs, and you must be able to understand this. But after all, it's been years, and you don't have to worry too much about it.

People nowadays are more profit-oriented. When you start a cattle farm, it means that you have to take a bite of the cake from someone else's mouth.

Therefore, it is imperative that you speed up your growth and respond flexibly to all kinds of sudden difficulties that are not in the right direction.

When you can afford to pay your salary, and you can hire someone, you will ask a group of veterans to take care of the cattle farm for you.

One day, you can affect the economic development of a place and a district, then these people are like the itch of ringworm, as long as you use the right medicine, there is no danger to you, and the backhand can make them obedient and obedient. ”

Wei Chengmo said hello to everyone and walked towards home step by step, he looked calm on the outside, but in fact, he was like a turbulent wave inside.

Today's events have had too much impact on him, and a small pasture has brought out some grievances between the previous two generations and some unspeakable events.

Although I heard some things about the fifth grandfather and the fifth uncle when I was very young, I knew that the fifth grandfather had made great contributions to the country.

But what he didn't expect was that he was involved in the incident in person......

But it's not surprising, after all, many people in the old Wei family relied on being soldiers to eat.
