Hello 1983

Before the meeting started, everyone was chatting, Liu Qingshan said hello, and then asked Che Boss:

"Uncle Boss, went to the market yesterday to catch piglets, how many did you catch?"

The fattening pigs in the pig farm are all out of the market, and the sows have not given birth to litters. They can't be idle, so I decided to buy a batch first and raise them.

Wait a few more months and you'll be basically self-sufficient.

"Don't mention it, I just caught two litters, and it's more expensive than death."

As soon as the boss uncle mentioned this, his head was full of lawsuits, and Zhang Ganzi also had the same expression, and he kept complaining:

"Boss, can you do something else? There are no piglets in the pig farm, so I'm so busy all day long!"

The phrase "idle eggs hurt" is not popular now, otherwise it should be a true portrayal of Zhang Ganzi.

This is not because there is no daughter-in-law, but because after tasting the sweetness of raising pigs to make money, I really can't stay idle.

This kind of words came out of the mouth of the original lazy man Zhang Ganzi, which made everyone really dumbfounded.

In the usual way, someone must be making fun of him again, for example, he won't be free after marrying a daughter-in-law, etc.

But today, no one spoke up. Perhaps everyone also felt: shouldn't you make fun of a hardworking person?

The owner of the car spread his hands at Zhang Ganzi: "There is no way, now in Bishui County, there is a pig breeding fever, I can't give you piglets, can I?"

Zhang Ganzi put on a grinning look: "You're sure you won't be able to give birth, why don't you try with your daughter-in-law?"

This guy really is "serious for no more than three seconds".

The owner of the car also immediately countered: "It's almost as good as calling your second aunt."

After bickering for a few words, I also felt that it was boring. Speaking of it, this pig raising fever was led by their Jiapigou.

As a result, there is no pig to catch now, and he has become a victim instead.

So he turned to Liu Qingshan again: "There are still many ways for Qingshan to come up with an idea."

"We have a great liberation, so we will go to the surrounding counties to buy it."

Liu Qingshan knows that the upsurge of raising pigs will definitely last for several years, so the pig farm can also consider expanding and increasing the proportion of sows at the same time.

There are more than 30 sows in their pig farm, and the old sows basically have two litters of lambs a year, with an average of ten piglets per litter, which is not enough for their own pig farm.

"That's right, go to Lin County tomorrow to have a look!"

The owner of the car slapped his thigh and was very inspired, and even drew inferences: "If piggies are cheaper in other places, then we might as well buy more and sell piggies, anyway, there are cars!"

Under the influence of Liu Qingshan, everyone became more courageous and broadened their thinking. These are invisible changes.

With the successful experience of going to the market, everyone no longer has any worries about this kind of thing.

Even the old party secretary, who was always worried about speculation, expressed his support, and appointed a few people to set up a temporary pig catching team, who will be responsible for following the car tomorrow, specializing in this matter.

Seeing that everyone was here, Captain Zhang coughed and announced the opening of the meeting.

The first thing is to put rice planting on the agenda, arrange two families, sort out the greenhouses, and prepare to raise rice seedlings.

Like people, the land also needs to rest. It needs to be turned over again, supplemented with fertilizers, left idle for a period of time, and then replanted.

Considering that Er Biaozi dominates rice planting, two households were selected, one is Er Biaozi's family, and the other is his neighbor Zhang Jizi's family, which is also convenient for management.

Both of these two have no objection either. Firstly, rice planting is a major event in the village, and secondly, the cooperative also provides subsidies.

This matter is relatively simple, just arrange it and get it done.

The second thing is to expand the planting area of ​​plastic greenhouses.

The new shed cannot be placed in the village, but must be built directly in the field outside the village.

In terms of management, it is no longer possible to adopt a family-by-household approach, but to set up a special labor team.

There are many things involved in this, from land acquisition to personnel arrangement, to the specific division of labor, all of which must be clearly arranged.

After the arrangements were made, Datou suddenly stood up and said, "Our plastic greenhouse has expanded in scale, and I think of a problem. There must be not enough fertilizer."

That's right, everyone suddenly realized that judging from the situation last year, the fertilizer provided by the pig farm can at most supply the existing greenhouses in the village.

Everyone is an expert in growing crops, so of course they know that the land must be fertile. The so-called crops rely on dung to make a living is definitely not talking about it.

"The big head is right, and being able to think things over to the front is a good material to serve the field."

The old branch secretary clicked on the small cigarette pouch and boasted a few words.

All in all, Liu Qingshan and Datou, young people like them, are the third generation in the village, and the old branch secretary is very pleased to see hope.

But how to solve the problem?

Zhang Ganzi blinked his eyes for a long time, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "Why don't we raise more pigs?"

Anyway, he is looking for one way now, that is: raise pigs, raise pigs and then raise pigs.

The scale of the pig farm must be expanded, but if it relies entirely on pig manure, it will definitely not be able to provide the demand for dozens of acres of greenhouses.

Everyone chatted and researched for a while, and felt that the excrement source had to be re-opened.

Dashuai Zhang pointed at Zhang Ganzi: "Gaozi, it seems that you have to resume your old job and be your iron spoon general!"

Thinking about the scene of Zhang Ganzi driving the donkey cart to dig out the dung, everyone didn't feel a smile.

But no one laughed: it seemed that Zhang Ganzi's transformation began at that time. Not only did he not laugh, but he also had respect in his heart.

Zhang Ganzi was also unambiguous: "Just do it. It's not that I haven't done it before, but I just feel a little bit reluctant to part with my brothers."

The brothers in his mouth are, of course, brothers pigs.

Seeing that there was no good solution for everyone, Liu Qingshan decided to talk about his thoughts. He stood up, and before he could speak, there was crackling around, and someone slapped his hands.

"Qingshan, everyone has been waiting for you to make up your mind."

Captain Zhang smiled and spoke out the aspirations of the people.

It made Liu Qingshan feel a little embarrassed, he bowed first, after all, all the people present except Datou were elders, and then he said:

"My idea is that we want to form a modern ecological agricultural circle. To give the simplest example, raise livestock and fertilize the field with manure; plant fodder in the field and feed the livestock. This is the most basic circular circle."

This is easy to understand. Everyone nodded to express their understanding, and the owner of the car also heard something: "Qingshan, what do you mean, should we develop the breeding industry and get more manure-making machines?"

Everyone wanted to laugh a little. The dung-making machine is not a good word. It describes those lazy people who only know how to eat but not how to work, such as Zhang Ganzi a few months ago.

But now Zhang Ganzi has got rid of this title, so he doesn't care at all, instead he took over the quarrel:

"For the dung making machine, besides pigs, there are cows. That guy, with a big cow dung racket, will catch up with the boss and you will pull it for several days."

Boss Che listened carefully at first, but ended up being dishonest, so he replied angrily, "It's enough to feed you for several days."

"Don't interrupt, listen to Qing Shan continue."

Captain Zhang knocked on the table.

Liu Qingshan continued: "That's right, we just want to raise cows, but only dairy cows."

After finishing speaking, he shook a book in his hand, which was newly bought by him. On the cover was a cow with black and white flowers, with milk flowing down from under its belly, just like a faucet.

Everyone's eyes can't help but light up, milk powder is definitely considered a high-end nutritional product in this era.

As for fresh milk, there is insufficient supply in big cities.

Before the opening, the dairy farms were also state-owned. In the past two years, private dairy cows have been allowed, but the awareness of the common people has not yet risen.

"I heard that a cow is quite expensive. Is it more expensive than a yellow cow?"

Captain Zhang looked at Liu Qingshan. Although the cooperative had 1 yuan in public accumulation, Zhang Long and Er Biaozi almost took it to buy machinery in the past two days.

Even the big cattle they plow the fields cost 500 yuan a head, which is the most valuable in most people's homes.

It is estimated that dairy cows are more expensive, and if you want to raise one or two cows, it is definitely not a small amount. Where will the money come from?

Of course Liu Qingshan had already thought about it, smiled and said, "We can go to the bank for a loan."

I need another loan, and I just repaid the loan a year ago!

The people in the room all stared wide-eyed, staring at Liu Qingshan in a daze, they really didn't want to live in famine.

Chapter 151 Where did the bulls go?

For everyone's reaction, Liu Qingshan still had some expectations.

In this era, let alone farmers, there are very few people who dare to borrow money.

The banks are in a hurry, and they rush to find you a loan, and the interest rate is ridiculously low. In a few years, they even made a large amount of interest-free loans.

Even so, affected by the concept, there are very few borrowers.

Liu Qingshan didn't persuade much, but said cheerfully: "Last year we took out a loan of 1 yuan, and it was repaid within a few months."

Seeing many people nodding, he continued to state the facts: "With the 1 yuan loan, let's build a greenhouse and repair a pig farm. Let's do the math. How much money did Jiapigou earn for these two things?"

Boss Che is a village accountant, and he is most familiar with this, so he blurted out: "The greenhouse earns [-] yuan, and the pig farm makes a net profit of [-] yuan."

"Yes, without this 1 yuan loan, can we borrow chickens to lay eggs and earn more than 3 yuan?"

Liu Qingshan continued to ask with a smile.

The people in the room, although they all knew the amount, were still shocked: they really hadn't calculated the amount.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, it seems that the loan is not so terrible?

For a while, everyone didn't speak, and the room in the team headquarters was quiet, only heavy breathing remained.

For a long time, the old branch secretary and Captain Zhang looked at each other and nodded together, and then the old branch secretary asked, "Qingshan, how much are we going to borrow this time?"

Liu Qingshan knew that everyone was persuaded, the facts were in front of him, everyone had tasted the sweetness, and there was no reason to refuse.

So he said with a smile, "I reckon it will cost 5 yuan. Since raising cows, it doesn't make much sense to raise ten or eight cows. It's only a hundred or eighty cows, which is considered a small scale."

Seeing that everyone was able to hold on and was not frightened by the amount, he continued:

"I went to the dairy factory in the county yesterday. They happen to have a project to support farmers in raising dairy cows. They can directly help contact dairy farms, and even help with loans directly."

"That's daring!"

Captain Zhang also showed joy. They are farmers, and they are most afraid of going out to ask for help.

But immediately, his face collapsed again: "As soon as the day was relaxed, there was another famine all of a sudden."

"Hey, if you have too many lice, you won't itch, and if you have too many debts, you won't worry."

Zhang Ganzi is an optimist, and he is still laughing and teasing Captain Zhang.

In the end, Captain Zhang kicked him on the butt: "I think you are itchy, hurry up and go to the pig farm to work."

"Okay, my swineherd will go, but if you want to raise cows, you have to choose a cowherd."

Zhang Ganzi is now proud of the swineherd, and while walking out, he also helps worry about it.

Although he had never raised cows before, Zhang Laoji, who used to raise cattle in the production team, was definitely an expert.

Liu Qingshan handed him the book on raising cows, and Zhang Laozi flipped through it for a long time before saying a word.

"I don't know how to read."

"If you can't read, ask your youngest son to read to you."

Captain Zhang felt that it was necessary to build a reading room at the team headquarters. It was okay to ask the villagers to study more. It would be shameful if all of them were illiterate.

Moreover, if the matter of raising dairy cows is real, it will require a lot of manpower: herding, feeding, cleaning up manure, and milking, none of which is light.

At that time, there will definitely be a special cow group set up.

Although Zhang Laoer is illiterate, he still has a lot of experience in raising livestock, so he directly asked a question: "How to solve the problem of feed?"

It's half a year here.There is no tender grass for livestock to eat, and dairy cows are not like those working cattle and horses. They eat some grain and grass in winter, and occasionally add some feed.

Cow, if you fool it, it really won't produce milk for you.

In fact, Liu Qingshan has already mentioned this issue just now, and he is going to talk about it in detail:

"Uncle Lianer, when the time comes, we will get silage feed, the roughage for the cows will be there, and the rest of the concentrate feed, we can prepare the corn and soybeans we grow ourselves."

"What is silage feed?"

Zhang Laolan was at a loss, and so were the others.

Don't look at the land they have planted for half their lives, and the cattle and horses for half their lives, but it is definitely the first time I have heard of the silage fodder.

Liu Qingshan discussed this issue with Grandpa Wang as early as when Professor Wang came to Jiapigou to celebrate the New Year.
