[055] Farms
"How can you not care? I don't have as much flexibility as your brain, and if it weren't for my third siblings, I might have spent my whole life digging in the fields. After working hard for a year, I don't know if it is enough for the family to chew, let alone for the patriotic students to go to school. Chen Revolution said with emotion.
"Haha, let's not talk about this, anyway, it's all a family, and there will be contacts in the future, anything." Chen Yuanchao didn't want to explore this topic with his eldest brother anymore.
"Big brother, you now have hundreds of chickens, ducks and geese in the farm, and hundreds of sheep, have you ever thought about how to arrange sales when the production is expanded in the future?" Chen Yuanchao hurriedly changed the topic.
"We have also thought that now the poultry and livestock production in our rural farms have been sold to our county, as well as restaurants in several nearby counties, but if we want to expand production, those restaurants will not be able to eat." Chen replied.
"My third brother and sister also told me before that if our breeding scale is expanded, if those restaurants can't buy all of our production, then we will set up a food processing factory."
"The third brother and sister said that the formulas in the processing factory were all researched by Xiaomei, and if you use those formulas, the things made will definitely be sold."
"And I heard that the third brother and sister and your sister-in-law have discussed and opened a food processing factory?" Chen Revolution asked.
"The chickens, ducks and geese, as well as cattle and sheep that we couldn't sell at home before, were all sent to the food processing factory made by the third brother and sister and Xiaomei, and now the scale is not very large, that is, the processed things are sold to the capital."
"The third brother and sister and her sister are really very capable, and they are really capable of doing business in the capital." Yang Liqing also said with emotion.
She really admires Su Lan and Su Mei sisters, these two people are not ostentatious people, but they are very capable. An ordinary peasant girl like Yang Liqing, and now a peasant woman, admires such a smart person very much.
"Do you mean the pickle factory that my daughter-in-law cooperated with Xiaomei?" Chen Yuanchao heard his eldest brother say this, thought about it and asked.
"It's the processing plant. That factory is not in our brigade, it seems that the third brother and sister found a factory in the county and bought it, and then established this pickle factory. Chen Revolution nodded.
"Now this pickle factory has become the number one enterprise in our Bingxian County, because the pickles in the pickle factory are really delicious, and the number of sales is also very considerable, but because the scale is not large, it is only circulated in a small area."
"I heard that it was because at that time, the third brother and sister were in Shenzhen, and her sister was still studying, so she didn't take good care of this pickle factory. It's just that it depends on what you mean now, the third brother and sister still have to go back to Shenzhen, and Xiaomei should also go with her sister, so what about this pickle factory? ”
"It's not very clear about this, I'll ask my daughter-in-law to see." Chen Yuanchao is not very clear, his daughter-in-law's career plan, he always feels as if his daughter-in-law has not done anything, but she tosses silently and produces a lot of things.
"That's right." Chen Revolution and his wife, they didn't care so much, they took Chen Yuanchao and visited their farm again.
A hundred acres of land seems like a lot, but if it is replaced by a forest, it looks like no more, no less.
If it is an ordinary field, 100 acres is actually quite large, and in this era when there is no mechanical planting, more than 100 acres do not know how long it will take to plant it.
But if it is replaced by a mountain forest, it is not too big, after all, there are not many places that can be planted.
The more than 100 acres of mountain forests contracted by Chen Revolutionaries are used to raise a lot of animals, and the surrounding area is full of all kinds of thorns.
Chen Revolution is a very diligent person, so after contracting the land, he surrounded this piece of land with thorns, and for several years, this piece of thorns was surrounded by him in a thick circle.
There is a thick wall of thorns almost three meters wide, and there really is no thief who can break these thorns and run in and steal things.
Of course, if there is a thief who can cut down the thorny wall and then go in to steal chickens and ducks, Chen Revolution also admires such a thief.
Chen Revolutionary's farm has more than 100 acres of land, and in fact, it is a bit too much to raise so many poultry and livestock.
Chen Revolution does not plan to expand the number of poultry and livestock in the near future, and he may increase the number of poultry and livestock unless he expands the contracted land.
Chen Revolution's farm was directed by Su Lan, and there are towering pines and cypresses, as well as birch trees and other typical northern trees.
Of course, there are also fruit trees such as chestnut, apple, pear, walnut, chestnut, hawthorn, apricot, begonia, etc.
These fruit trees have also been slowly planted by Chen Revolution's family in the past four years, and most of them are chestnuts and the like planted in the early days.
Fruit trees such as hawthorn were already available in the forest, so Chen did not buy saplings.
In fact, most of these fruit tree saplings were transplanted from the mountains, and the apples and pears were bought by Su Lan, but in fact, Su Lan took out the saplings from the space and asked Chen Weiguo to send them back to Chen Revolutionary.
The trees are ready to bear fruit after a few years of growth, and now it's summer, and the fruits of apples, pears, apricots and plums are ripe.
Now that Chen Yuanchao is going up the mountain with his eldest brother, he can see the fruitful scene on the fruit tree.
These fruit trees were later grafted and improved, so the fruits grew very well, because the grafted branches were all taken out of the space by Su Lan when he occasionally returned to his hometown for Chen Revolution.
Chen Yuanchao followed his eldest brother to the farm, looked at the fruit tree full of fruits, picked a plum from the tree and ate it.
"Big brother, there are a lot of fruit trees planted in your farm, what are you going to do? Do you want to sell it? Chen Yuanchao asked.
"Of course it will be sold." Chen Revolution nodded, "I just don't know if I want to sell fresh fruit or sell it to the fruit canning factory." ”
"It depends on whether anyone wants fresh fruits, but these fruits are not rare fruits on our side, and I'm afraid it is not easy to sell them for a good price. Didn't you say my daughter-in-law has a food processing factory here? You can sell it to my daughter-in-law's processing factory and let them process the fruit into dried fruit. Chen Yuanchao said while eating fruit.
Chen Revolution thought about his third brother's words and felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "Okay, I want to think about it, if the fresh fruit can't be sold, sell it to the processing factory of the third brother and sister." ”
Yang Liqing also thinks this is good.
There are a lot of fruits in the farm, so Chen Revolution and Yang Liqing choose some fruits that are not in good condition and do not grow well and cut them to feed the poultry and livestock in the farm.
The flowers and trees in the farm are also very luxuriant, Chen Revolution and his wife kept the original trees, and then planted fruit trees in the gaps, and the weeds under the trees were removed and then planted with herbs.
Of course, there are some common herbs that Chen Revolution keeps, so that they can be eaten by the cattle and sheep in the farm, and they are also very good for the health of the cattle and sheep.
Chen Yuanchao followed his eldest brother to look around the farm, and found that this farm was different from the farms in his daughter-in-law's memory, as if it was more like a wild ecosystem, because the vegetation coverage here was very high, so hundreds of poultry and livestock were almost invisible.
Chen Yuanchao is very satisfied with this, and believes that his eldest brother will continue to develop like this in the future, although he will not make as much money as his second brother and fourth brother, but he will not be worse than others.
