The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 138 The Great Harvest

At 05:30, as soon as the mutton soup came out, Wang Shaodong hurriedly sent three catties of meat and a large plastic bag of mutton soup to his friends on the mountain and his uncle.

It was almost six o'clock when Wang Shaodong came down from the mountain, and at this time, the banquet was about to start.

As soon as Zhao Mingwei saw Wang Shaodong coming in from the gate on a motorcycle, he quickly stood up and shouted at him: "Xiao Wang, come this way."

Wang Shaodong glanced at it, and said hello to Zhao Mingwei: "I'll leave the motorcycle and go there."

The chicken catching team gathered two tables together, they were familiar with each other, and they felt comfortable with each other.

Wang Fumin, Zhao Mingwei, Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing, Su Yulong, Liu Yujiang, He Jiaxiang and two people they didn't know sat at a table for nine of them, and Wang Shaodong happened to join the table after he passed by.

In addition, Zhao Shiling, Zhao Mingwei's wife, Ma Zhentang's wife, He Jiaqing's wife, Su Yulong's wife, Liu Yujiang's wife, He Jiaqing's wife, He Sichun, He Yimo and He Fei gathered at a table with ten of them.

In addition, Wang Shaodong looked like the driver driving for Zhao Mingwei and a few people in the chicken catching team who couldn't fit in the table gathered together again.

In this way, four tables were originally planned, but five tables were finally sat down.

The main course was mutton soup, which had been taken out of the cauldron and placed in the middle of the five tables of banquets. In addition, the dishes ordered from the Zhuanghu restaurant in Qingquanling were also delivered.

Wang Shaodong put the motorcycle away in a hurry, then ran to the wine table of Wang Fumin and Zhao Mingwei with a smile, and sat down in the seat of the assistant chief.

"Uncle, why don't you start earlier, why are you still waiting for me?"

Zhao Mingwei looked at Wang Shaodong with a serious face and said: "This occasion can't do without you, young man, you will be much better than your uncle and me in the future, I am optimistic about you."

Then, Zhao Mingwei turned his head to look at Wang Fumin and said, "Big brother, tell me a few words, shall we start?"

"I said don't wait for Dongzi, okay, it's getting late, let's start."

Then Wang Fumin stood up, and the people present immediately reminded each other and fell silent.

"Brothers, we have to rely on everyone's help to go out tonight. Everyone, the food is getting cold, so please wait. I, Wang Fumin, will take the lead first. This banquet is officially beginning!"

After Wang Fumin finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it with a whoosh.

Today everyone drinks in a large eight-qian wine cup, which makes people look more appropriate for the banquet.

It would make people feel a bit awkward if this mutton soup Zhuanghu dish is used in a Western-style goblet.

As Wang Fumin drank the wine in one gulp, everyone immediately responded with warm applause.

"it is good!"

Then, the banquet officially began.

Zhao Mingwei came to fetch chickens tonight, and he didn't drink much after that, so he drank two cups of white wine and stopped drinking anything.

The banquet officially started at six o'clock, and at eight o'clock, seeing that everyone was almost done drinking, Zhao Mingwei called for everyone to start catching chickens.

The women quickly restored order to the messy scene, and then everyone placed scales, chicken coops and other items in the courtyard of Wang's house.

As soon as more than 20 members of the chicken catching team came on stage, the two platform scales got busy.

Wang Fumin and Ma Zhentang are in charge of a platform scale, Wang Shaodong and He Fei are in charge of bookkeeping, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang are in charge of a platform scale, and He Sichun and He Yimo are in charge of bookkeeping.

The rest of the people also had their own division of labor. Some helped catch the chickens and tidy up the cages in the chicken coop, some maintained order, and some helped Zhao Mingwei and the others install cages on the car. The whole scene seemed to be in order.

During this period of time, the market for broiler chickens was relatively strong, fluctuating at more than four yuan and three yuan.

After the chickens of the Wang family are weighed today, they will know the ratio of feed to meat, and then they will know how much money they can make.

When Zhao Mingwei first arrived, Wang Fumin took him around the eight chicken sheds and asked him to pick a chicken from the shed.

Zhao Mingwei wanted [-] chickens, and it happened that there were [-] chickens in each greenhouse.

The survival rate of this batch of chickens raised by Wang Fumin is very high, reaching 90.00%.

In the end, what Zhao Mingwei fell in love with happened to be the chickens in Wang Fumin's own chicken coop.

In this way, the main battlefield for selling chickens tonight happened to be inside Wang Shaodong's house.

While memorizing the weight of the chickens in each coop, Wang Shaodong quickly calculated the average weight of each chicken, and then calculated the feed-to-meat ratio of this batch of chickens.

Soon, he found that the feed-to-meat ratio of the chickens raised by his father was between 1.7 and 1.8.

For farmers who are raising broiler chickens for the first time, this result is already very good.

Broiler chickens are fed with different feeds at different stages, and the prices are different. Overall, the average feed price per catty is about [-] cents, so the feed cost per catty of broiler chickens is about [-] yuan.Then the other costs of this batch of chickens are added up, and the total cost per catty of chickens is only about [-] yuan.

The cost of feed accounts for the largest proportion of the cost of raising chickens, generally accounting for between 50.00% and [-]% of the cost.

Based on the selling price of [-] yuan, the chickens in their family can earn between [-] and [-] yuan per chicken.

60 chickens, calculated in this way, the net income must exceed 80, and may even reach [-].

While counting, Wang Shaodong became a little excited, and almost remembered wrongly several times, but fortunately, He Fei who was next to him reminded him to correct it in time.

At 08:30, everyone officially started catching chickens, and at ten o'clock, all [-] chickens had been caught in cages and loaded onto cars.

This is a professional chicken catching team from Xiaolongmen Village, Zhai Town, Southern Tainan City. Seeing the chickens weighing [-] to [-] kilograms in their hands walking like flying, Wang Shaodong himself can only sigh.

It costs 150 cents to catch a chicken. Tonight they caught an average of [-] chickens, and each earned [-] yuan.

Earning 2003 yuan a night in 150 was a remarkable achievement for a farmer.

The chickens were all caught in the car, and Wang Shaodong, Wang Fumin, Zhao Shiling, and Zhao Mingwei all entered the main hall of Wang Shaodong's house and began to settle accounts.

When weighing, Wang Shaodong and his colleagues recorded the weight of each cage of chickens, and Zhao Mingwei and his colleagues also recorded the same. Then, when all the chickens were caught, both sides would settle the accounts together, and the bill would be ready when the catties were matched.

This night, a total of more than 400 chicken cages were installed, that is to say, more than 400 numbers were recorded in Wang Shaodong's notebook, and it was not an easy task to calculate in the end.

It took two hours to catch the chickens, and it took almost an hour to calculate the final accounts. Fortunately, the calculated accounts were matched. In the end, the total weight of more than 1 chickens was 51518 catties, which is almost an average of A chicken weighs 5.14 catties.

After the ledger was calculated and the banknote detector finished counting the amount of money, then Zhao Mingwei, the chicken catching team, and others all left.

Looking at the more than 20 cash on the coffee table, Wang Fumin, Wang Shaodong and Zhao Shiling seemed very excited.
