Mountain Village Chicken Tycoon

Chapter 258 Some Thoughts on Holiday Benefits and Holiday Rituals

As the saying goes, in winter, the three-layer quilt is covered with wheat, and in the coming year, you will sleep on your pillow with steamed buns.

In the winter of 2004, a heavy snowfall before New Year's Day brought enough moisture to the wheat field in winter.

After two days of rest, the South Slope construction site resumed work.

The sound of rumbling machines brought a little noise to the entire mountain village.

The highway site in the west has already stopped work due to the heavy snow, but the South Slope White Feather Chicken Breeding Base is still in a hurry.

The construction of embankments and bridges along the river has been suspended, and it will be the twelfth lunar month in less than a week.

After the twelfth lunar month, everyone is busy with the New Year, and after Laba, it is the Chinese New Year.

Although the current Chinese New Year atmosphere is not as good as every year, it seems that one day in the next step, this year will be over.In Zhao Qingshan's heart, this year is still very important.

After Zhao Qingshan entered the twelfth lunar month, he was thinking about a problem, that is, how to process the chicken in his hand into some products that can be used to distribute year-end benefits to other units.

In 2004, the unit with the best welfare in Laigang County should be the Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant.Every year during the Chinese New Year, the factory distributes many festive gifts, including beef and mutton, frozen fish, soy sauce and vinegar, rice noodles and peanut oil, etc.

Zhao Qingshan is familiar with some of the rituals of the Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant's welfare sources.For example, this beef, usually five catties of raw beef and five catties of cooked beef, is ordered from the Weijia Chuanfu Beef Shop in Yanzhuang Town.

Every year during Chinese New Year, the Weijia Beef Shop on the side of the road is full of people, quite lively.

Even excluding ordinary customers, the Weijia Beef Shop supplies 40 catties of meat to the Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant each year. In 2004, the price of raw beef was 350 yuan per catty, and cooked beef was 60 yuan per catty. In this way, the annual operating income from the supply of festival beef to Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant reached [-] million yuan, and the net profit was about [-] yuan. , can account for more than one-third of the annual net income.

In 2004, the year-end benefits distributed by Luzhong Iron and Steel Works to employees were worth about 1000 yuan in total, of which beef accounted for more than 80 yuan.

In addition, among the holiday benefits, there is another item that is also a local product in Laigang County, and that is peanut oil.

Looking at the entire Laigang County, before the 70s, in the entire county, only Zhaizi Village of Zhaizi Township and Yanzhuang Village of Yanzhuang Town had two oil workshops belonging to the collective. The oil workshop was contracted by individuals, and the old oil workshop in Zhaizi Village became a personal oil workshop in the early 80s.

People in different places have very different diets. For example, people in Qilu Province mostly eat peanut oil, while residents in Southwest Province mainly eat rapeseed oil.The taste difference between peanut oil and rapeseed oil is very big, and the difference after frying is also very big.

People from Guizhou Province can’t get enough to eat when they come to Lu Province, and people from Lu Province also feel that the food tastes strange when they go to Qian Province.

The same is fried dough sticks, the fried dough sticks in Guizhou Province, and the fried dough sticks in Lu Province are not the same taste at all.

Let people from Lu Province go to Guizhou Province to live for a month, and they can lose ten catties, and people from Qian Province can also lose ten catties when they come to Lu Province.Therefore, it doesn't take much trouble to lose weight. Find a place where you can't swallow the food at all, and you will lose weight in a short time.

People who like to travel are often not fat, perhaps this is the reason.

The peanut oil in Zhaizi Village was also very famous throughout Laigang County.In the early 90s, the peanut oil that Luzhong Iron and Steel Works distributed as year-end benefits was also bought from the old oil workshop in Zhaizi Village.Then, the price of five kilograms of peanut oil per person is 60 yuan, and the oil workshop can earn about 32 yuan.The Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant has 240 employees, so Zhaizi Youfang can earn [-] yuan a year from the Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant alone, with a total operating income of [-] million yuan.

For the 4000 employees of the Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant, the annual New Year's holiday benefits are distributed to a total of 600 million yuan, while the local local products in Laigang County only account for less than [-] million yuan.The rest are all products imported from other places.

For example, the Luzhong Iron and Steel Works distributes two white-striped chickens to its employees every year, making a total of [-] white-striped chickens.

In the next step, if we win this business, then I will have an extra income every year during the Chinese New Year.

Let’s open up the market of Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant first, and then there are other units, including banks, various enterprises and institutions, etc., who will distribute holiday benefits every year during the Chinese New Year, and most of the holiday benefits in the units include chickens. One item is generally based on white striped chicken or vacuum-packed roast chicken, grilled chicken and other products.

This is a very large market, that is, the holiday welfare market, not only the welfare market, but even the entire festival market, is where Zhao Qingshan will make a fuss in the next step.Just like the slogan in the advertisement, "If you don't give gifts during the festival this year, you will give Phoenix chickens as gifts", or change the slogan "For Chinese New Year, you must give Phoenix chickens. The year with Phoenix chickens is an auspicious year.".

It is now 2004, and Zhao Qingshan is already thinking about this problem.He wants to occupy the chicken part of the festival welfare, the market for this part is so big that even the reborn Zhao Qingshan can't imagine.

But right now, I'm just a chicken farmer. When the chickens are raised, they are sold to Qishan, and others are processed into Qishan fried chicken and sold to diners.I don't have a mature chicken processing product like Qishan fried chicken in my hand, and I don't even have a live chicken slaughterhouse in my hand. It seems that there are still a lot of things to do next year.

In a blink of an eye, New Year's Day in 2005 came, and everything returned to normal in Fenghuangling. The temperature has warmed up in the past two days, and the snow has slowly melted in sunny places.However, on the shady side of Nanshan Mountain, the snow showed no sign of melting.

The Dongling side is not considered to be in the shade, and the sun can shine enough at noon and afternoon.The snow on the roof has been cleared away, and the snow on the ground is getting smaller and smaller.

There is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and Zhao Qingshan has been staying at Dongling for the past two days.At noon that day, the weather was fine, Zhao Qingshan called Liu Zhao, and then planned to go shopping and went to Bianjiaquan Village to visit his wife.

Although it was said that they hadn't seen each other for only a few days, to be honest, Zhao Qingshan was already very eager to see his prospective wife.

The two would chat on WeChat for a while on their mobile phones every night, and then ask each other good night to go to bed.

The time of falling in love is the best time, not to mention that the other party is still pregnant with his own child.
