Mountain Village Chicken Tycoon

Chapter 12 Preparing for 4-day-old Epidemic Prevention
In a blink of an eye, the little chick was 4 days old. Tonight is the time for the little chick to take nasal drops for Newcastle disease prevention.

The technician sent by the Agricultural University came to Zhao Qingshan's chicken farm at two o'clock in the afternoon.

When technician Xiao Cao and his two companions walked to Zhao's chicken farm, their legs and feet were already covered in mud.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and it has rained a few times in the past two days, making the situation even worse.

As soon as Xiao Cao and the other two technicians sat down, Zhao Zhijiang ordered his wife, Zhang Huifen, to make tea and pour water. He asked his son to chat with the three technicians, while he went to the shed to add water.

Xiao Cao is two or three years older than the other two technicians, and seems to be the leader of the three of them.

"Boss Xiao Zhao, how is it? Is the chicken in good condition?"

"Not bad, everything is good. Brother Cao, how is the white-feathered chicken market recently?" Zhao Qingshan is more concerned about the market price.

Although it was said that the chickens they raised were recycled chickens, Zhao Qingshan knew in his heart that if he wanted to make a lot of money, he had to raise market chickens.

If you want to raise market chickens in the next step, you must understand the market.

"The fluctuation is not big, but the price of chicken fry has risen by 1 cents in the past few days."

The rise in the price of chicks means that farmers are more motivated to breed, and they are optimistic about the future market.

The market itself is a supply-demand relationship. Farmers raise more chickens, and when the time comes, they will be put on the market. If the demand does not increase, it will definitely affect the market price.

Fortunately, the Zhao family raises contract chickens, and the transaction price after 45 days has been determined.

"Oh, by the way, I need to find more helpers to catch the chickens tonight. The three of you may not be able to handle it."

Xiao Cao reminded Zhao Qingshan.

"Oh, how many people do we have to find?"

Xiao Cao glanced at his colleague and said, "Each of us should have two chicken catchers."

His two colleagues nodded, expressing their agreement with their leaders.

"That's six people, and we have to find three more people, so how long will we be busy?"

"It starts at nine o'clock in the evening and ends at 10:30."

Zhao Qingshan made a rough calculation, and said in surprise: "Then, can you prevent a chicken in a second?"

Xiao Cao smiled and said, "Maybe you need to hurry up. If you catch the chickens fast enough, the chickens can be protected against the epidemic in an hour."

After all, experts are experts. If they are allowed to prevent the epidemic by themselves, then there is no need to do anything else tonight.

"Look for three people, brother Cao, wait a moment, I will go to my dad to discuss and find helpers."

When Zhao Qingshan ran into the shed at the door, his father Zhao Zhijiang just finished adding water and walked out of the chicken coop surrounded by plastic sheets.

"Dad, just now Technician Cao said that we need to find three helpers to prevent the epidemic tonight. The three of us are too busy."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhijiang frowned: "Need to find help again?"

Zhang Huifen came over and asked, "Shanta's father, how about I call Uncle Shanta over?"

Zhao Qingshan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's past ten o'clock when the epidemic prevention is over, and I need my uncle to help. It's too late to go back, the road is bad, and it's not safe. I think we should find help from the village. Dad, You stay at home, I'll call for help."

Zhao Zhijiang asked, "Who are you going to call for help?"

"Cao Mingren, Liu Yuren and He Zhongheng, the three of them."

After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhijiang frowned immediately.

"The three of them? The three of them just helped us carry the chicks. If we ask them to come here now, won't it be too much trouble for them?"

"Hey, Dad, our chicken farm will have to live in the future, and we don't have the strength to hire a permanent worker for the time being. We have to think of a long-term solution to find helpers. We are looking for my three uncles this time. We are not in vain. Ask him to help, and we'll give you money."

When Zhang Huifen heard this, she immediately frowned: "Shanzi, it's not uncommon for neighbors in our village to ask for help, but they have never given money. Is this appropriate?"

Zhao Zhijiang frowned slightly, and said, "What I'm afraid of is that they won't ask for money."

If someone asked Zhao Zhijiang to help and give money, then he would definitely not accept money.But Cao Mingren and the other three will definitely take money.

Cao Mingren's family runs a canteen, and he is considered a relatively economical person in the village. The monetization of labor services must be easier for him to accept.He Zhongheng is greedy for money, so if you give him money, he will definitely follow it.On the contrary, Liu Yuren was more honest, and he was unwilling to accept the money given by the villagers in his village, but seeing that the two accepted the money, he was naturally embarrassed to refuse.

"Dad, just listen to me."

"Then how much should we pay?" Zhao Zhijiang asked.

"20 per person."

Zhang Huifen stared: "20? A day's wages are not so much, and it's a big job, just helping us for a while, and earning us 20 yuan?"

"It's not easy work. It's so hot inside the chicken coop. If you work for an hour or two, it's not much easier than working on construction for a day."

Zhao Zhijiang nodded: "20 lines, if they can get the money, we won't owe you any money. Son, just do as you say."

The family discussed it, and then Zhao Qingshan went to find a helper for the evening, while Zhang Huifen went down the mountain to buy food and drinks for tonight.

At home, only Zhao Zhijiang was left alone with three technicians to take care of the chickens at home.

During the first week when the chicks were put into the house, the farmer had less sleep, and the eyes of the family of three were red.

Zhao Qingshan came to Cao Mingren's house first, found his neighbor, and talked about helping out at night, and the other party readily agreed.

Although it is said that the Zhao family is a single family in Fenghuangling Village, there is always a happy event in the family, and the Zhao family's money has never been less, so the Zhao family's reputation in the village is still good.As for the neighbor Cao Mingren, the two families move around very well. Cao Mingren is shrewd and likes the simple and honest Zhao Zhijiang very much.Zhao Qingshan asked Cao Mingren to have dinner and drink at their chicken farm in Dongling, and his uncle happily agreed.

Walking out of Cao Mingren's house, Zhao Qingshan went to Liu Yuren's house.

Liu Yuren hasn't got off work yet. He is a member of the village construction team, and he has to wait until around six o'clock in the afternoon to get off work.Then Zhao Qingshan told Liu Yuren's wife about the situation, and she readily agreed.When Zhao Zhijiang was working in construction, he had a good relationship with Liu Yuren, so he will definitely help with this job.

Finally, Zhao Qingshan came to He Zhongheng's home. When he entered, Zhao Qingshan saw his classmate He Hui feeding the pigs, while her younger brother He Cong was squatting at the door of the house, eating a melon.

Seeing her classmate coming, He Hui smiled awkwardly and asked, "Qingshan, are you here?"

Zhao Qingshan frowned and said to himself: Hey, why didn't He Hui go to school?

"Oh, I'm looking for Uncle Zhongheng."

"Dad, Qingshan came to look for you." He Hui turned her head and carried a bucket of pig food into the pigsty.

"Shanzi is here, come in quickly, come in quickly."

He Zhongheng came out of the room, took Zhao Qingshan's hand and entered the room.

Zhao Qingshan thought in his heart: No, He Hui should repeat her studies, she will be admitted to university.No, I have to help her!
