Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 15 Scaling Up
After finishing a delicious meal of stewed rabbit meat with mushrooms with Xiao Zhuer, He Ping couldn't wait to realize his plan.

When he left for work in the afternoon, he rubbed against Han Zhaojun.

"Zhaojun, do you want to eat meat?"

He Ping said in a strange tone coaxing children.

"what does it mean?"

"You know about me hatching chickens?"

"I know!"

"Do you want to get a share?"

"A share?"

"You give out eggs, ask Zhaoshe to help, and when you hatch chicks later, I will pay you back double."

Han Zhaojun couldn't believe it, is there such a good thing?

Han Zhaojun, who has never experienced the beatings of the society, does not know that this kind of situation is called a Ponzi scheme in later generations. Of course, the premise is that He Ping can't make ends meet and run away.

This situation is obviously impossible.

He Ping did some calculations, excluding dead eggs, one egg hatched and one chick can be exchanged for three fresh eggs, which will be doubled back to Han Zhaojun, and the remaining one is his own hard-earned money. The more eggs Han Zhaojun produces, the more He Ping more income.

Give out some eggs, and you can return double the number of eggs without any effort. It's not a loss anyway.

Han Zhaojun forgot that his younger brother Han Zhaoshe needed help, anyway, children have no human rights.

But his family's financial power is in the hands of his parents, so it is not easy to get the eggs out.

Seeing Han Zhaojun's hesitation, He Ping knew the problem. Young people like them who didn't have a family naturally couldn't be in charge of the family's financial power, but He Ping knew that Han Zhaojun would definitely think of other ways.

This kid has been hunting with his father since he was a child. He is very skilled and has a good marksmanship. He can be said to be the leader among his peers in the team.

Xu Aiying, who was working not far away, saw He Ping talking to Han Zhaojun furtively, and couldn't help but lean over curiously.

Before he could get closer, He Ping spotted him and said to Han Zhaojun, "You can add up as much as you want."

After speaking, he walked away, not giving Xu Aiying a chance to eavesdrop.

If this matter got out, he would have to be paid attention to by the people in the team, and the secrecy work had to be done well.

Han Zhaojun's execution ability was really strong. That night, he secretly sent [-] eggs to He Ping. He waved a candle, and there was a dark shadow in the middle of the eggs.Han Zhaojun explained that he would send another [-] eggs tomorrow night, which would make up exactly [-] eggs.

When he came with a tail, he was his younger brother Han Zhaoshe.

Han Zhaojun is considered a strong labor force now, and he has to work with the team every day. Han Zhaoshe is different.

The next night, Han Zhaojun delivered the eggs again, and they were ready, and the eggs were ready to hatch.

After the first trial, He Ping is familiar with the process of incubating eggs this time, even though the number of eggs has quadrupled.

It's just that the quilts are not enough, and Han Zhaoshe's quilts were also requisitioned.

His mother He Liqin discovered Han Zhaoshe's house when he went to hug the quilt.

After asking, I found out, no wonder there were several eggs missing in the house. I dare say that this little bastard Han Zhaoshe stole them. He gave Han Zhaoshe a beating, but Han Zhaoshe was very loyal and did not betray his second brother.

In the end, it was his father Han Yuzheng who rescued Han Zhaoshe from his mother's clutches.

"You just get used to it, what can you do with He Ping every day, you kid, it's delicious and lazy."

He Liqin complained to her husband angrily.

"He Ping was originally a city boy, and you still expect him to work hard like the kids in our team. It's enough for a child to think about living a decent life. Isn't he good at hatching eggs? "

"He was speculating."

"Damn it, haven't you seen the situation yet? Ever since Buzzing was knocked down, the policies have changed day by day, and the commune has long since lost the mind to manage it. No one knows what will happen in the future!"

"You are the only one who can speak plainly."

The debate between the couple finally ended with the wife's concession.

The joining of Han Zhaoshe made He Ping father and son a lot easier. He Ping had to go to work every day during the day and watch the hatching eggs at night. He basically didn't sleep twice and woke up every three or four hours.

He Ping, his father and son, and Han Zhaoshe allotted time for duty. He Ping had to go to work during the day, so he set a time to be on duty from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am.He can go to bed after dinner after work, and he is in good spirits the next day after working for four hours.

Han Zhaoshe helped the family with some housework in the morning, feeding the pigs and chickens, and came to work after lunch.

Xiaozhu went to Han Zhaoshe to take over after dinner in the morning, and the two went out to collect firewood alternately.

After the second batch of eggs was finished, He Ping finally felt a big stone in his heart. These are 40 fresh eggs, which are three or four times more expensive than normal eggs. In RMB, it costs at least [-] yuan, which is equivalent to one worker. More than a month's salary is definitely not a small sum.

The process of egg selection, egg heating, egg placement, and egg care is not slack at all. After this stage, waiting for incubation in the later stage is a slow job. As long as the fire is fired on time every day, the fire pit and the indoor environment should be well controlled. Temperature will do.

Four dead eggs came out of the [-] eggs during the canning stage, and He Ping cooked the four eggs and distributed them to the two boys.

Just four eggs boiled in clear water without any seasoning, the two boys felt like eating Australian lobster.

Not surprisingly, the second batch of 20 chicks will be born in about 196 days.The most important thing for He Ping right now is to arrange the food for these 196 chicks.

In this era, the main reason why rural households did not raise chickens and ducks on a large scale was the problem of feed. The food for chickens and ducks was mainly food and vegetables, which were still in short supply in this era.

If nearly [-] chickens are fed entirely by grain, the food consumed is not a small amount. At present, He Ping mainly sells chickens, which can still afford it.But the market of Daji will eventually be saturated one day, and He Ping estimates that it will be something that he incubates two or three more times.After all, for a rural family, it is enough to raise ten or eight dogs, and not every family needs them.

In the future, it is destined to focus on self-raised chickens, so the problem of chicken feed is imminent.

In later generations, He Ping had a hobby - fishing. A fisherman who can't make bait is not a qualified fisherman.

He once spent a lot of time researching how to make good fishing baits, and one of the most common and economical things in fishing baits is earthworms.

The conditions for earthworm breeding can be said to be very simple, and the reproduction speed is fast enough. The most important thing is that it can be used to make chicken feed, and the cost is almost zero.

Coupled with grain and vegetables, the cost of raising chickens will be greatly reduced.
