Chapter Seventy-Three: Say Hello to the Village
Seeing the final drying and white sweet potato flour, Xu Zhengdao, who spent a few days, finally realized that making sweet potato flour is really laborious. But after harvesting so much sweet potato flour, he still feels quite accomplished.
This sense of achievement, the sweet potato flour that you spend money to buy, you will definitely not be able to experience it.
"Nearly 200 catties of sweet potatoes, less than 40 catties of sweet potato flour, I don't know whether this flour yield is high or low. For this sweet potato flour of less than 40 catties, Lao Liu will send five catties, Lao Qian will also send five catties, and Uncle and sister-in-law will also send it. ”
After thinking about it, he found that the sweet potato flour he made could have a lot left even if it was used to give it away. He didn't plan to make vermicelli, but he planned to use sweet potato flour to flush and drink. It's okay to make a drink and feel the taste of your previous life when you were a child.
Seeing Xu Zhengdao who came to the door with sweet potato flour, Liu Daneng was very surprised and said: "You made this sweet potato flour yourself?" ”
"Why, you still don't believe it, do you? Although I don't like to do farm work, it's okay to make sweet potato flour. ”
"Nope! I don't mean that, I just think it's too condescending for you to do it yourself? ”
"Get out! I'm just a flat-headed little people, and I'm not talented. I planted a lot of sweet potatoes in the mountains outside the city, and this year's harvest was good. If you want to eat it, you probably won't be able to eat much, and if you sell it, it's not worth a few dollars.
Later, after thinking about it, I planned to make some sweet potato flour, which would last a long time. In addition to giving you a gift today, by the way, I will tell you something, and you can also think about it. If you get it done, you won't have to worry about running out of pork in the future. ”
After persuading Zhong Jianguo to raise pigs, after briefly talking to Liu Daneng, Liu Daneng thought about it and said: "Will there be a problem with raising so many pigs?" Also, if there are too many pigs, where does the pig food come from? ”
In the face of Liu Daneng's inquiry, Xu Zhengdao whispered: "I have received reliable information that the whole country will implement the policy of distributing farmland to households early next year. As soon as this policy is launched, do you think food production will explode?
With more food, the people don't have to worry about being hungry, but the food grown can't be sold for much money. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to use these grains to feed poultry and pigs? Get a head start, you know? ”
"Is that so? Then what do you think, can you tell my father-in-law about this? He wasn't in good health, and he couldn't do any heavy work. If you raise pigs, I don't think it's a big problem, and it can reduce the burden on the family. ”
Hearing that Liu Daneng wanted his father-in-law to raise pigs, Xu Zhengdao nodded and smiled: "Okay!" With your son-in-law who sells pork, the pigs he raises naturally don't have to worry about not being able to sell. But there is one point, if you raise more, I am afraid that you will have to say hello to the village. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, if you raise a lot of pigs, you can tell the village in advance, even if you pay some management fees a year or something, you can say to the outside world to help the pigs raised in the village. In that case, even if someone is red-eyed, there will be a reason for it.
We are not as good as the south, many policies are crossing the river by feeling the stones, and it is not a bad thing to be cautious. Over there in Kangmin Village, the Zhong family has a good relationship with the village party secretary, and if the village opens a certificate or something, others can't figure it out, understand? ”
Private pig farms, whether the government allows it or not, are still unknown. However, the village collectives raise more pigs, and the government is happy to see it. It costs a lot of money to invest in a pig farm, and many villages may not dare to do so.
If the villagers dare to raise it and are willing to pay a little management fee to the village, presumably the village will not say much. If you want to be red-eyed, you can also apply to the village committee to raise them together. But whether it can be raised well or not is another matter.
The cost of breeding required in the early stage is not affordable for everyone. In the process of breeding, if there is a slight mistake, the loss will be heavy. In recent years, there is a popular saying in the countryside, the family has a lot of money, and the hairy ones are not counted.
If you suddenly suffer from a swine fever or something, then the initial investment can be all wasted. This is true not only for pigs, but also for other poultry. If you really encounter poultry plague, in addition to digging pits and filling them, I am afraid that you can't find a good way.
"Understood! My father-in-law's family has a good reputation in the village, and I have had several drinks with the village party secretary of their village. It's just a name, and there is no loss to the village, and you can collect some extra money, I believe that the village party secretary will not refuse. ”
"Hmmm! If you want to discuss this matter, you can discuss it with your sister-in-law first, and then with your father-in-law. The best words are to build a pig house before the year, and then buy piglets to feed after the year. By the time we wait for next year, it is estimated that many policies will be much clearer. ”
"Cheng, listen to you."
"If you don't have money, feel free to tell me. I don't dare to say that there are more, but three or five thousand is still no problem. In addition, in two days I will send you ten wild boars and four goats. Also, you must hurry up when buying a house.
You don't have to rush to give me the money for this batch of goods, you can keep it for emergencies first. You should know that I'm not short of these money. If you hadn't done this business, I guess I wouldn't have wanted to do this thing as a wild boar dealer. ”
Knowing that Xu Zhengdao had brought him wild boars and even goats, Liu Daneng was naturally happy. Compared to the former, although the latter does not have much meat, the price is much more expensive than the former. Many rich people are delicious at the moment.
Xu Zhengdao, who didn't eat at Liu's house after delivering sweet potato noodles, rode a bicycle to Qian Chuanlin's house. Seeing Xu Zhengdao who came to the door, there were a lot of things tied to the bicycle, Qian Chuanlin was also very curious: "What is in the bag?" ”
"I'm going to give you a gift! I planted a lot of sweet potatoes in the mountains outside the city. Some time ago, I dug up the sweet potatoes and found that the yield was still quite a lot. It's okay to be idle, I made some sweet potato flour myself, and I'll send you five catties by the way, or not? ”
"Why not? Free things, as long as you dare to give them, I dare to accept them! ”
"Hey, you're really not polite to me. In addition to sweet potato flour, there is also a goat's leg, stewed at noon, let's drink two cups? ”
"Done! Stock-range or? ”
"What do you say? The mutton I sent you is too ordinary to handle! ”
Laughing and teasing, Qian Chuanlin was also very bold to accept the gift he brought. In addition to sweet potato flour, there is also half a bag of sweet potatoes. For Qian Chuanlin, even if he doesn't eat these sweet potatoes, it's no problem to give them to his apprentices.
In Xu Zhengdao's opinion, at this stage, these apprentices led by Qian Chuanlin are indeed having a difficult time. But wait a few more years, the rise of private self-employed, with his apprentice's skills, to open a furniture factory must not worry about making money.
But for now, it's better to stay up for a while. Many times in life, isn't it just bitter and then sweet?
Compared with eating at Liu's house, he is more willing to partner with Qian Chuanlin, an old man and a young man. For Qian Chuanlin, even if every time he eats at home, he has to consume his wine, but compared to the meat brought by Xu Zhengdao, how much is the wine worth?
Besides, Xu Zhengdao is not picky about wine, he also drinks Moutai or anything, and he doesn't mind bulk grain wine, as long as he can drink wine!
After drinking at Qian's house, he stared at the old man who was drunk again, but Xu Zhengdao couldn't see that he was drunk at all, and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard. The guy here has everything in order, and there is no problem with cooking and sleeping.
Thinking of giving gifts to his uncle at night, he felt that it was a little troublesome to go back to the village and run back. It just so happened that Lao Qian had recently collected a lot of old furniture, and he also picked some of them and stored them in the underground organ dark room.
Even so, the two-entry courtyard house I bought a while ago is fully furnished in the guest rooms, living rooms, and furniture. All you need to do is buy some bedding and sheets, and if you want to stay overnight, you can arrange to sleep directly at home.
As for the bedding and sheets, when he was wandering around in Xiangjiang earlier, he bought a lot of them and stored them in the space. Even one of them, a four-piece goose down quilt set that is expensive and specially used for marriage, is also planned to be given to his uncle in the evening.
Although you can't attend the wedding, it is natural for your nephew to give a special wedding gift to your uncle. Even if the uncle gets married and the cave house, it should be on the master's side, but isn't it quite suitable for him to put it on the side of the courtyard?
