That night, Luo Meng, Na Maocheng, and Luo Quangui discussed this matter, and everyone agreed that the recycling price of buffalo milk can be fixed temporarily, but the price of calves cannot be fixed. Only when the price is high or low can they make more money Careful care of the calves ensures the quality of the next batch of calves.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Zhou realized that this was indeed the case, but he still had to give one at the lowest price, so that they could have a bottom line in their hearts and take care when taking care of the cows and calves.

"How many weaned cows are there in our farm now?" Lao Zhou asked them who were in charge of the cowshed.

"You want to lend out Huaizai's cow?" Bian Dajun became anxious, his voice suddenly rose an octave, it was Huaizai's cow, there was one outside, and there was another one in its belly, one big and one small, I only received three thousand catties of rice as collateral, is it a loss?

"Even if this is the case, we will have to wait about half a year before we can receive calf milk. Whether this cooperation model is good or not, everyone will have to wait until then to see it, and we will have to wait until then to really promote the designation."

"I was thinking, let's lose a little in the first batch, and start this model earlier. Time is money. Seeing that the heifers below are growing up day by day, how many of them can be bred now? If this happens again After a year or two, the designated cow shed on our Niuwangzhuang will not be able to accommodate us, and you will not be able to take care of it either."

That night, Lao Zhou and Na Maocheng discussed the specific matters and drew up the contract. They decided to send out the first batch of fifteen cows that were pregnant for three or four months and had just weaned. After a small increase, after half a year, this cooperation model has stabilized, and everyone has a certain degree of confidence in raising milk buffaloes. At that time, they will mainly lend out young cows.

The next morning, after sending Houwazi to the kindergarten, Lao Zhou went to Wang Dasheng's shop with a dozen printed contracts.Wang Dasheng's bee drink shop usually has a good business in the afternoon and evening, and it is quieter in the morning, and there are basically no people in the shop around nine o'clock.

"You boy, are you afraid of losing money if you do this?" Wang Dasheng asked with a smile after reading the contract.

"As long as you Wangjiazhuang people don't lie to my cattle and run away, you can't lose money." At most, the profit is small, and the loss should not be too small.

"But it's only fifteen, isn't the number a little less?"

"It's almost there. This is a buffalo. You are still a kitten or a puppy. Fifteen of them are a big group. Let's be conservative. One head is 1 yuan, and the 15 is [-] yuan. Is it less?"

"Okay, okay, fifteen or fifteen, when will we go to lead the oxen?"

"You still have to go to Wangjiazhuang to calculate with them later. Whoever raises cattle and who doesn't raise cattle, and then prepare the rice. It will take a day or two. Don't worry, you will let them together the day after tomorrow. Go to Niuwangzhuang to hand over the grain and take the cattle."

"Success, we went there that morning."

"..."

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Luo from Niuwangzhuang?" At this moment, a guest at the next table suddenly interrupted their conversation.The store was not busy at this time, and Wang Dasheng's daughter was there, so the two just found a table and sat down by themselves, not paying attention to the customers in the store just now.

"Hello, I'm Romon." Romon turned his head and saw that the other person was a woman in her 30s, with an oval face and a high nose bridge, and wearing a pair of glasses. She was tall, neither fat nor thin.

"Oh, hello, what a coincidence, I am a regular customer of your Niuwangzhuang, and I have bought a lot of things from your house online."

"Hello."

"Hi, I'm her lover. Excuse me, we seem to have heard you two talking about outsourcing cattle raising just now?" The man next to her also spoke at this time, also in his 30s, with good features and a medium build. She looks smarter and more capable than his wife.Sitting next to him was a three or four-year-old boy, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a small suit, and a small bow tie. He was quiet and looked very cute.

"Oh, yes." Romon nodded.

"We want to know, can outsiders participate?" the man asked.

"Do you want to raise cattle?" Lao Zhou looked at the family of three in front of him, each of them looked more like city people than the other, and they didn't look like they could raise cattle and farm in the countryside.

"Yes, in fact, we have participated in flower picking activities before. When we came here, we were arranged to go to the stilted building on the mountain. After going down the mountain, we went to the town after receiving our salary, so we haven't seen you before. This time I told you My lover has sorted out the work at hand and plans to move here to settle down." The man introduced their situation to Lao Zhou.

"Mindan and the others have been in our town for two or three days, and they are looking for a house now." Wang Dasheng's daughter interrupted at this time.

"Why don't we wait until you find a house?" Lao Zhou was a little embarrassed. He didn't know these two foreigners, and they had no relatives or real estate here. When the time came, he took their buffalo and ran away. Where can I find it?

"If we were raising buffaloes, we probably wouldn't buy a house. The houses in the town are small, and it is difficult to find a house that can build a cowshed. Even if we buy a house in the village, it is not protected by the law. We live in different places. If we are familiar, we won’t spend that money for the time being, if we can, we should rent a house in a village on the edge of the town first.”

"Then I'm afraid I can't lend you the buffalo." Although he intuitively felt that these two people would not do such a shameful thing as stealing a cow, Lao Zhou still didn't want to take unnecessary risks.

"If you are worried, we can use the car as collateral." The other party said again.

"What kind of car?" This can be considered.

"Great Wall V80, I just bought it the year before last. I don't use it very often, but it's still quite new now."

"V80 is good." Lao Zhou didn't say he agreed or disagreed. Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with the other party's proposal, but Lao Zhou was still a little awkward in his heart. He bet his car on Niuwangzhuang. What do you think about this matter? feel weird.

"Hey! Lao Zhou, these fifteen cows are all ours." Wang Dasheng saw that Luo Meng was a little shaken, and quickly stated their position in Wangjiazhuang. They would not give up the fifteen cows anyway. of.

"Don't worry, there are fifteen heads, and one of them is indispensable to you."

"Look, we can leave the car with you now, and when we sell a suitable house here and settle down, how about you return the car to us?" said the woman named Li Mindan.

Ever since the couple had a child, everything has been focused on the child. The city they live in is bustling, but also cold and hard. Their son is very introverted and doesn't like to go out, so he likes to watch TV at home. My eyes become nearsighted at an early age.

The last time I took him to participate in the flower-picking trip, I found that he seemed to like this town very much, and so did the couple.After the two went back, they made up their minds, and simply transferred a company they had been running for nearly ten years to the deputy manager. Anyway, even if the company was not sold to him, this person would have to go out and do it alone in a year or two. At that time, I will have to find another person to help. At this time, if I sell it to him, they can negotiate a good price.

The attitude of the other party was very sincere, and Lao Zhou had nothing to do at the moment, so he went to look at the car with them. It was as they said, it looked very new, and the odometer showed that the car had only been driven for a total of Less than [-] kilometers.

"How many buffaloes are you going to raise?" Old Zhou asked them.

"How many heads can you give?" The other party asked back.

"The two are five months pregnant. As long as you take good care of them for about four months, you will be able to give birth to a calf. Generally, one calf is born. At that time, we will price the calf according to the quality of the calf. This is the contract. You can see it. For a moment, there are also breeding regulations. After the calves are recovered, you can milk them every day, and the price of buffalo milk is also fixed and will not change in the short term.”

"If you encounter any problems during the breeding process, you can go to Niuwangzhuang to inquire and learn. If there is a problem with the health of the buffaloes, you can also take them to Niuwangzhuang for treatment. Also, if you have been raising them for a while , if you find that you are not suitable for raising cattle, or lose interest, you can return them to me at any time, the car and the grain that you have to pay me as collateral according to the contract, will be refunded in full, okay? "

"No problem." Just as Romon spoke, the other party had already read the contract: "When are we going to get the cattle?"

"Aren't you looking for a house first?" Romon asked with a smile.

"Find a village and ask, it shouldn't be very difficult."

"Indeed, I know that there are several vacant houses in Xiawazi Village. If you are interested, you can go and ask." Before Mike and Charles contracted the mountain land in Xiawazi Village, Romon also went there twice and knew the village. Many of the houses in the village are empty, and the place is close to the town. If the family rented there, life would be quite convenient.

The family moved very quickly. They went to Xiawazi Village in the morning, returned to the town for lunch, checked out the hotel, drove in the car, took their luggage, and bought some furniture and some daily necessities in the town. That afternoon, they moved to a two-story brick house they rented.

Most of these brick and tile houses in Xiawazi Village were built in the 80s. At that time, people here had just lived a good life for a few days, and their families had surplus food. If the family is richer, they will build a two-story brick house, and if they become richer, they will move to Yongqing or Tongcheng City.

The [-]-year-old house is basically very old now. Li Mindan and his husband Cai Wenming cleaned it for most of the day, and finally it can still be occupied.The village chief's family lived next door to them. Seeing that they had just moved here, they called them to eat at their house.

Early the next morning, Li Mindan and the village head's wife went to the street to buy pots and pans. Cai Wenming took his son to clean up an open space next to their house. A simple cow shed was set up, and the village chief told him that the buffaloes in Niuwangzhuang were very smart, not to mention lost, if someone they didn't know came, they would be dragged away.

In the afternoon, the village head and his wife sat in the yard to weave baskets, and Li Mindan and the others followed suit. After learning for a long time, they could probably weave one or two simple baskets, but the village head's wife said that they were not bad at weaving this basket. It's not neat enough, and if you take it for delivery, you can only get half of the wages.

In the evening, they went to Xiao Shulin's aunt's house to deliver goods, and she picked out those baskets, and only paid half of the wages to them. The baskets of the village head and his wife basically passed, except for one. I made up the wrong pattern, and only got half of the wages. I heard that these defective baskets were sold as defective products in the supermarket in the town, and the price was very affordable. Under the recommendation of the village chief, Li Mindan and the others also successfully received them. A batch of materials has arrived.

On the third day, Cai Wenming went to Yongqing alone to buy [-] catties of rice. Li Mindan took their son and drove their car to Niuwangzhuang. The couple gave the car and rice to Lao Zhou and signed a contract to take it Receipt, leading two big buffaloes, a family of three slowly walked home along the quiet winding mountain road in the cool mountain breeze.

In the afternoon, they walked along the mountain road near their home and put the two buffaloes in the terraced fields that had been deserted for many years. Li Mindan and her son were sitting on the field ridge not far away. She can weave baskets while grazing cattle, while her son sits next to her and hands her scissors and so on.

Cai Wenming waved a hoe and turned the ground with stiff movements. The area of ​​these terraced fields was too small to even use a plow, so they could only be turned with a hoe. So this year, almost all the fields at the bottom of the mountain were plowed. These places are still untouched.

Cai Wenming plans to dig out these lands and plant some vegetables and soybeans. In autumn and winter, he can also order a variety of Chinese cabbage. At that time, his wife can use them to make a batch of kimchi. You can sit around the stove and eat white rice with warm kimchi soup.
