Chapter 23, because of the wave of separation caused by pigs.
(The following is from the Kyoto Non-staple Food Business Journal, not apocryphal!) and the previous meat supply is also from the inside, not written for the sake of misery. )
Zhao Chuanliang listened to the voice in the loudspeaker and suddenly understood.
That's a good thing.
This is the cutting off of meat in the city, and the reward mechanism has begun to stimulate the raising of pigs and chickens in the countryside.
Pig breeding "buy 6 and keep 4", and it is allowed to raise three, that is to say, three heads are sold for two, and the remaining one can be left for home to eat, or all can be sold to the acquisition station.
And for every big fat pig of more than 120 catties sold, 100 catties of feed grain will be rewarded, that is, corn.
The important point is that you can raise sows.
Before cutting the tail only raised castrated boars, now sows can also be raised.
In addition, if the piglets produced by the sow are sold according to the listed price of the commune, each head will also be rewarded with 50 catties of feed grain.
There are also three chickens, but each chicken hands in 1 and a half catties of eggs every year, and three chickens are 4 and a half catties.
It doesn't look like much, but it's actually quite a lot.
Now eggs are relatively small, almost 10 to 12 pounds. There are sixteen or seventeen for a pound and a half.
And this year's chickens are not fed feed at all, and when there is no nutrition, it is basically two days before an egg is laid, and it takes three days to lay an egg.
And it doesn't lay eggs when it's cold.
That's about 100 eggs a year.
But overall, it's a good thing for the countryside.
It is estimated that after this news, everyone will definitely sign up enthusiastically next spring, because one point is also mentioned above, that is, the order money for piglets is from the production team.
Wait for the pig to be sold, and then return the money to the production team.
Moreover, this pig raising does not belong to the pig purchase, even if it is raised, it can be sold by dragging the corpse to the commune, but it is much cheaper.
This gives everyone confidence.
Sure enough, I guess I heard the radio saying that the captain would go back to inform him later.
Just to tell you the good news in advance.
Now all the people in the village have returned from the farmland, trying to figure out what is going on.
After all, the horn is not very clear.
After coming here, hundreds of people divided into several circles.
The Zhao family, the Li family, and some other surnames, after all, all have a close relationship.
Moreover, the Zhao and Li families have been the two major tenant families in this place since a long time ago.
In order to compete for good seeds, there is no shortage of friction.
"Arita, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Yes! Does it mean that you can raise sows? ”
“……”
The Li family was talking about Li Youtian one after another, with excitement on their faces.
Everyone else came over to see it.
Li Youtian smoked a dry cigarette and shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, Captain Zhao went to the commune for a meeting, and he should come back in a while to inform him, don't worry." ”
This is said to everyone, after all, he is a vice-captain.
When they heard this, they were all there and there was a great deal of discourse.
Zhao Chuanliang also mixed in the crowd and came to his parents' side.
Seeing him coming, Yang Huaihua blinked: "Why are you back again?" ”
He was speechless for a while.
What does it mean to be back? Aren't you going to let yourself come back?
Then he whispered: "I'll go back and say later, there are good things." ”
Hearing this, my mother's eyes lit up, and she didn't say anything more, and the rest of the family probably understood what it meant.
Zhao Chuanliang glanced at Wang Shun and his eldest son Wang Gang, and thought for a while.
Everyone's focus is here.
Quietly touched the crowd.
When he came to the edge of the well, he vigorously opened the slate, and saw that there was a hole in it, and a sack was in it.
Reaching out and grabbing a handful, he was sure it was wheat.
Hurriedly put the slate away, made a little cover up and left immediately.
Without alarming the crowd, they returned to the ranks.
Then he whispered to Zhao Chuanyong next to him: "Fifth brother, go and call the second uncle over, don't speak, just pull him over." ”
"Hey!"
Yongzi got the order and hurriedly walked quietly towards the militia captain Zhao Tiezhu.
After a while, the other party came from the front of the crowd to the back.
Zhao Tiezhu was strange for a while: "Why are you pulling me over, and you won't say what you're doing!" ”
"Second uncle, come here!"
After looking at the Zhao family all around, and the sight was blocked, Zhao Chuanliang greeted him.
Then he put his hand next to the other person's ear and muttered for a while.
The other party looked suspicious.
"Really?"
"Second uncle, don't worry about it, come to my house when you're busy, I'll talk to you in detail, don't let people see anything."
Zhao Tiezhu hesitated for a moment and bowed his head slightly.
Didn't say anything and finally left.
Everyone else was paying attention to what was happening on the radio, and no one cared about what the two of them said at such a young time.
After a while, captain Zhao Tieshan came back on the only bicycle on the team.
And a happy face.
"Captain......
"Captain Zhao......"
People shouted at him.
Zhao Tieshan faced the crowd and hurriedly parked the car: "Don't worry, don't worry." ”
Then he came to a high place and began to read out what had just happened.
It's similar to what Zhao Chuanliang heard.
It's one thing to hear the rumors, it's another to hear the captain say it himself.
Hurriedly asked with distrust:
"Really? Reward so much food? ”
"Yes, don't worry, the documents issued above."
"You really don't want us to pay? Contribute money in the team? Will you pay it back after selling it? ”
"Yes!"
"Is it okay to raise it to death?"
"Yes, it's fine! However, if the pig dies, it will be sent to the commune to be sold, and it will be okay if it is not up to standard. ”
…………
Zhao Tieshan continued to answer the villagers' questions.
Zhao Chuanliang listened and nodded, there were standards for collecting pigs in the past, and it has been changing over the years.
From the earliest 120 catties as the minimum standard, if it is low, it will not be collected and pulled back to raise.
It has been reduced to more than 80 catties now.
It can be seen that there is a shortage of meat in the city.
"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the number of needs of each household will be counted in a while, and the city will be ready, and the spring cattle will pull the commune."
"Then it must be three-headed!"
"That's it, a fool doesn't want three heads!"
"Captain, we're going to split up, can we have six?"
"That's it, we're separated! Can you raise more? ”
…………
All of a sudden, people started talking again.
Hearing this, Zhao Tieshan had a headache, and he didn't expect this situation.
shouted at everyone: "Go back first, this has to be studied by a meeting, not that you can do whatever you want." ”
It's almost time to eat, and I guess these people are not in the mood to go to the fields.
Hearing this, everyone walked towards their homes with a sigh of chirping.
Zhao Chuanliang's family naturally went back.
