Later, under the leadership of Wang Peng, Xiao Zhengping and the others found a deer farm more than ten kilometers away from the forest farm.

Because no one maintains it all year round, the road to the deer farm is overgrown with weeds, if it weren't for Wang Peng as a guide, Xiao Zhengping would have thought that he was lost in the forest.

When I arrived at the deer farm, it was even more shocking, a double-open iron gate was embroidered all over again, and the hinges of one side of the gate were even rusted and broken, and it was barely tied in place with wire.

"The workers in the deer farm are all locals, and except for a few who watch the farm, no one else comes to work."

"Who is the factory director?" Xiao Zhengping asked.

"The factory director has changed several times, and the current factory director is the secretary of Xiping Township."

"Then the factory becomes like this, and the secretary doesn't care?"

Wang Peng spread his hands, "What's the matter?" Now it's not as usual, the land is open, and it's much better to go home and farm than to work here, and the secretary can't help but let people farm! ”

As they spoke, the three of them walked to the big iron gate.

The iron door was opened, and it could be seen that there were still people who came and went frequently.

Xiao Zhengping poked his upper body into the iron door and found that there was no one inside, so he took the lead in walking.

When I went in, the first thing that caught my eye was a row of red brick houses, about seven or eight rooms, and a small sign was hung at the door of the room, with the words "XX Office" and the like.

There is a tall building opposite the red brick house, and the door is written with the words "Warehouse Heavy Land".

In front of the warehouse is a large flat land, which is supposed to be a parking place, and behind the warehouse is a long shed without walls, and more than a dozen large clay cylinders are placed in the shed.

Wang Peng pointed to the row of sheds and said, "Na, that's where the wine is soaked, and the wine I brought you last time was scooped out of that vat." ”

Xiao Zhengping said with a smile: "It's a lot, so many jars, there must be thousands of catties bigger." ”

Wang Peng smiled bitterly, "Hmph, it's all empty!" They don't make their own wine, they all come in from outside, and the factory is not profitable, so they don't have the money to buy wine. To tell you the truth, there are at most two jars with wine in them,"

Zou Shusheng walked over with great interest and lifted the two lids, although the inside was empty, he could still smell the aroma of wine mixed with the smell of Chinese medicine.

Wang Peng pointed to a large stone fence on the east side of the pool and said: "There is a deer shed over there, there used to be hundreds of them, but now there seem to be less than a hundred." ”

As he was talking, Xiao Zhengping saw a person walking into the deer shed with a large bundle of grass.

Seeing someone, Xiao Zhengping immediately wanted to go over and ask questions, who knew that when he passed through the office, suddenly one of the doors was pushed open, and a man in a coat came out yawning and asked the three of them, "What are you doing?" ”

Wang Peng knew this person, and immediately walked over and said with a smile: "Director Chen, I brought two friends over to take a look, they haven't seen a deer, they just came to see something new." ”

"Who should I be, Wang Peng. Let's take a look, take a good look, and if you're interested, you can go back with two bottles of wine. Hey, let me tell you two, our wine is soaked in deer antler velvet to nourish yin and yang, and it is not bad to take it back and drink it yourself or send it to relatives and friends. ”

Xiao Zheng said calmly that this person looked lazy, but he didn't forget to sell his own food, and he was dutiful, so he nodded, "Okay, I've heard that you have good deer antler wine here, and I'll definitely have to buy two bottles later." ”

As soon as the man heard that Xiao Zhengping really wanted to buy it, he immediately became enthusiastic, "Okay, you go to see the deer first, I'll prepare the wine for you here, just come to me and get it when you leave." ”

"Good! Good! That's trouble. ”

After saying hello, the three of them continued to walk inside.

As Wang Peng said, most of the deer sheds were empty, and several stone fences had collapsed, and only the easternmost rows of fences held some sika deer.

Before he could get closer, Xiao Zhengping smelled a foul smell, climbed the fence and saw that the deer shed was messy, and the deer dung and weeds were piled up with a thick layer, that is, the deer pen was cleaned a little, and he could barely settle down.

The person holding the grass before found Xiao Zhengping and his wife, looked at it with his hand on the pergola, and immediately laughed, "Wang Peng, why are you here again?" Are these two your friends? ”

"Uncle Youfu, this group of deer is thanks to you, otherwise they will all starve to death."

"Hey, I've been raising it for more than ten years, and I'm reluctant to do it. Besides, someone has to take care of them, and if others don't want to, then I have to bear it. ”

"Hey, Uncle Youfu, there were still a lot of people here a while ago, why are you and Director Chen today?"

"Oh, isn't it the day of paycheck, and I'm going to ask for my salary."

"Why don't you two go?"

"Look at what you said, who cares if you go to the deer? This salary has not been paid for several months, and they think they will have it! ”

As he spoke, the man had climbed the fence.

Wang Peng immediately introduced: "Uncle Youfu, they are from Xiayan Township, this is Xiao Zhengping, and this is Zou Shusheng. Brother Pingzi, this is Chen Youfu, an old employee of the deer farm, to say a word of conscience, if there was no Uncle Youfu, this deer farm would have been gone a long time ago. ”

Xiao Zhengping hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Youfu, startling Chen Youfu.

Chen Youfu was not idle after climbing out, and took a few bundles of grass to several other deer sheds, Xiao Zhengping looked at it and asked loudly: "Uncle Youfu, does this deer just eat grass?" Why don't you feed some feed or something? ”

"Hehe, of course you have to feed, but now in this situation in the field, people can't eat, where will they get the money to buy feed!"

"No, it's a public unit anyway, no matter how poor it is, it's still supported by the state, how can it become like this?"

"Oh, people's minds are not here, in the past, everyone ate in a pot, there were people in charge of sales, there were people in charge of finance, we just had to work. Now, those who are self-financed and work will still work, but those who manage money and sales will not do it, and if there is no money and no sales, there will be no wages, and where will people without wages have thoughts, and over time, it will not be like this. ”

"Alas, Uncle Youfu, a digression, if someone can save this field, but this person is a private person, are you willing?"

Chen Youfu was still patrolling the deer shed on the fence, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped, turned around and asked, "Private?" You mean private contracting? ”

Xiao Zhengping nodded, "Yes, now everyone is doing this outside, contracting out the management rights, and the ownership is still collective, do you think it can be done?" ”

Chen Youfu was stunned for a long time, and then smiled: "I don't know what's going on outside, but we haven't heard of it here." However, the old and young masters in the field are now thinking about continuing to eat this bowl of public rice, if you can guarantee a monthly salary, we have no problem here. It's just that this collective contract is to private individuals, and I haven't heard of doing this, so you might as well go to the township and ask. ”

After chatting a few more words and roughly understanding the situation in the deer farm, Xiao Zhengping and the three of them returned to the office, planning to leave after buying wine.

Who knew that it was still a few meters away, and he heard two people talking inside.

The door of the office was ajar, and the loud voices inside were so loud that Xiao Zhengping heard them before he entered the door.

"Field chief, if you keep slaughtering like this, we won't be able to open our deer farm!"

"Then what do you say, the salary has not arrived, so you have to appease and appease people's hearts."

"You are the field manager, you have the final say, but there is one thing, my uncle you go and say it yourself, I can't afford to mess with him."

"This is a matter in the field, Chen Youfu has to do it if he doesn't do it! By the way, there are a few more bottles of that wine, and one bottle per person. ”

Before Xiao Zhengping could understand it, Chen Youfu, who came with him, rushed over in two strides, pushed open the office door, and shouted: "If you want to slaughter a deer, you must slaughter me first!" ”
