Chapter 1363 Chapter 1363 Thriving
Chen Miao smiled and nodded, "Okay. I see that we have a lot of cotton in stock. If it is not used at the border, 30% will be shipped to the capital, and the rest will be sold here."

In fact, the textile factories in Tiandu need a lot of cotton. It's just that the transportation cost is too high and it's not necessary. Besides, there is too much cotton needed in the winter in the north.

All the grain and agricultural and sideline products on the farm are mainly supplied to the army. If they are not needed, they can provide some convenience to the people here.

"Okay, I'm just waiting to hear the news from my sister-in-law. Half of the cottonseed oil was given to the army, and the rest was sold, as was the soybean oil. I saved a lot of bean cakes this year, and I'm going to raise pigs."

"Okay, Qiangzi, you should have noticed that there are more and more unemployed young people in the town. If necessary, we can recruit some more people."

"Sister-in-law, you are right. In the past, some people came to work on the farm unwillingly, but now things are better, and many people inquire about the work. Now they work in a well-behaved manner, and no one is dissatisfied, for fear that I will let them go back. "

"Yes. Qiangzi may even give us land, and then it will all be turned into a farm."

"I really don't want to go to the south to find our boss. My wife is pregnant, so I will stay here in my hometown."

"Okay, let your boss do his thing. It would be good if you could keep watch over the house for him."

After the accounts were clear, they went to save money the next day, and then the two of them drove to the farm.

"It works. I think it's okay. You have to wash the pickles when you eat them anyway."

"It's all pickled into pickles. The pond has been dug and will be covered with wheat straw. The top is covered with plastic sheets."

Although the autumn harvest is now over, there are still a lot of radish, cabbage, and mustard greens in the fields.

Chen Miao smiled, "It seems you have already made arrangements. I think it's quite reasonable."

"Young Master Santou?"

"If the cabbage is preserved well, some will be sent to the army next year and the rest will be put on the market."

"It's enough to eat. There are many people going back this year. Let them eat one meal and leave, come back and have another meal, and leave the rest for those who won't go back this year."

"I think the cellar is well dug, but you must pay attention to safety. After all, it will be closed for the whole winter. When you open the cellar, you must open it for a few hours before going down."

Chen Miao looked very good, "Where are the radishes and mustard greens?"

There was a lively scene in the farm, and everyone had a smile on their face. The joy of the harvest was different from others. It was really not comparable to ordinary joy.

"Sister-in-law, half of these are pickled into pickles, and half are pickled into sauerkraut. They are mainly vegetables for workers in winter."

"Can it be done?"

Watching the lesbians on the field twisting the radish tassels and mustard cherry seeds.

"Sister-in-law, Comrade Wang and I are discussing. What he means is to send them over in the new year. It is best to kill them. Three pigs from our farm will be sent to the battlefield."

It's going to be frozen soon, so everyone is busy storing it.

The size of the pig cannot be said to be large, it only weighs one hundred, fifty or sixty pounds.

Get in the car again, this time parked at a breeding farm. Although only a few dozen pigs were raised this year, this small amount is relative to the farm.

Chen Miao went to the field to look at the cabbages. They were all quite plump.

"Except for food, we sent ten cars to the troops, and the rest went into the cellar. The weather is good this year, and there are fewer bugs."

"Qiangzi, we need to find people with experience and skills to raise pigs."

"Yes. It will definitely be better next year. Will the pigs gain weight if they eat so many bean cakes?"

I checked the hygiene and it didn't look good. Qiangzi looked at his sister-in-law's frown and knew what she was probably dissatisfied with.

"Sister-in-law, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." "Well, the pig pen must be clean. If you want to raise a large number of pigs in the future, this is very important to prevent the pigs from getting sick.

When there is time later, let them see if there are any books on pig raising, and also ask more experienced farmers about their experiences, but they still need to breed scientifically. "

Qiangzi nodded. We must pay attention to this hygiene in the future.

Next to the pig pen is the chicken coop. "The chickens won't lay eggs at this temperature, right?"

"Well, I really didn't notice that the eggs are sold, but they are all bought by workers."

"It's good to be self-sufficient, but it can actually be scaled up."

The person in charge came up from the cellar and came over as soon as he knew the boss was coming.

Chen Miao was very optimistic about this young man wearing glasses. There is passion, culture, and certain management capabilities.

"boss."

"Just call me Comrade Chen from now on. There's no such thing as a boss."

"Okay, Comrade Chen, do you want to see the cellar?"

Chen Miao smiled and shook his head, "I won't go. I can rest assured that you will do your work."

I was told again that ventilation must be provided before entering.

"Let's go see the pickle pool."

The work here is in full swing. Some people use knives to remove the tops and roots of radish and mustard. Some people wash them, some put them in the pool, and some people spread salt.

"Hey, this salt is good."

"Sister-in-law, I went to the beach to get this. I bought several carts of it for the workers to eat and also to make pickles."

"It's all sea salt. That's good. It's good for people to eat it."

There were more than a dozen big pits. “Are there so many radishes and mustard greens?”

"Yes. There are also radish tassels. Comrade Chen, you can see that the straw curtains have been piled up into two big piles. Try not to let the pickles freeze by then."

Chen Miao knew that it didn't matter if the pickles were frozen.

I went to see the granary again, and this is where the real excitement begins. There are dozens of threshing machines. Due to the weather and the rapid consumption of grain, the corn cobs can be ground into cornmeal without waiting for them to dry.

The cornmeal that comes out now is not as fine as that of later generations, but it is definitely better than graphite grinding, and the outer skin of the corn kernels is also crushed very well. It shouldn't taste spicy.

More than half of the workers are working here, and it has been decided that 60% of all the corn will be sent there before the year.

"Are they all going to get cornmeal?"

"Well, it's all cornmeal. This saves Comrade Wang's worries, and we have some free time anyway."

"I follow him into the mill every time. It's easiest for us to give him cornmeal directly."

I checked the humidity of the cornmeal and it's okay. I'm afraid it might develop in the summer, but it won't occur throughout the winter and spring, and I won't be able to eat it at that time.

"70% of the white noodles have been sent over. Sister-in-law, would you rather give me more white noodles?"

"I didn't ask the comrades in the cafeteria. They should be similar, but the taste of white flour must be much stronger than that of corn flour."

"Next spring, half of the fields will be planted with wheat. The yield is not bad. Comrade Jiang's school has also cultivated high-yielding wheat. This year, the yield per mu of the experimental field has reached 580 kilograms. We will be supplied with wheat seeds next year."
