The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 183 Warm Hospitality
Li Hong's family affairs is a small two-story western-style building with a vermilion lacquered iron gate. Go out of the building, and then enter another door, which is the main house.The design of the whole building is very simple, the living room is in the middle, the living room is very big, there is not much furniture inside, a set of modular sofas, a coffee table, a big fairy table, and then Maza, small wooden stools and so on are placed in a mess.There are two small rooms on either side of the living room, one is the bedroom and the other is the kitchen.The stairs to the second floor are in the corner of the living room, which doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing.The second floor is mainly used as a warehouse, and there is a bed on the second floor that can be used as a guest bedroom.

It was almost lunch time when Wang Shaodong arrived at Li Hong's house.

Li Hong's wife made a pot of tea for Wang Shaodong, and asked Li Hong and Wang Shaodong to drink tea first to rest and catch their breath, and then she took Li Qing out.

Li Qing put on new clothes, and her fear of being unfamiliar with Wang Shaodong turned into liking for her.

"Dongzi, the last batch of chickens in your family has caught up with the good market." Li Hong said with a smile while pouring tea for Wang Shaodong.

"It's okay, the overall market is good this year. Uncle, the market for laying hens is also good."

Li Hong also smiled, this year's chickens seem to be doing well.

"It's the first time to raise meat chickens, do you think it's easy to raise?"

Li Hong peeled an orange and handed it to Wang Shaodong. Wang Shaodong said thank you, then pinched an orange segment and put it in his mouth, saying: "It's very easy to raise. I feel that the meat chicken is much more honest than the chai cock. After eating Just know how to sleep."

"How much can the meat ratio be?"

"I heard from my dad that it can be compared to one catty."

"It's amazing. This result is better than that of a veteran who has raised chickens for more than ten years. Then, if you do the math, don't you really make a fortune with your 80 meat chickens? The market is so good now, and your chickens are so well raised. Well, the profit of this batch of chickens is expected to be more than [-]. Okay, when I eliminate this batch of laying hens, I will also get meat chickens. But my greenhouse is not as large as yours, so I can’t get so many. The market for meat chickens is really good , it makes people hungry."

The laying hens of Li Hong's family have just entered the laying hens, and it will take at least a year to wait for them to be eliminated. After one year, the good market for meat chickens has long passed.

In front of experts, just telling the truth and matching up can guess all the rest of the situation.Li Hong has been raising chickens for many years, and has raised meat chickens, roosters, and laying hens. It can be said that in Wang Shaodong's eyes, this person in front of him is a real chicken raising expert.

When the chicken was sick, Zhang Xueting had to go to Zhang Xueting's side for anatomy and tests to get the right medicine, but when it was in Li Hong's hands, he observed and observed the situation in the chicken coop, and then he could get the medicine.Moreover, Li Hong has many native methods, and the effect is much more effective than the knowledge learned from school.

Wang Shaodong smiled, and did not deny Li Hong's speculation.

"Uncle, what's the feed-to-egg ratio of your laying hens?"

"It's okay, two to one."

When Wang Shaodong heard it, he also laughed: "Two to one is very good. Now the feed for laying hens is less than one yuan, and the wholesale price of eggs is three yuan per catty. You can earn one yuan for two catties of feed. 2000 chickens have to eat at least 150 catties of feed, and earn [-] yuan a day, uncle, you are not bad."

In 2002, the domestic and international poultry breeding industry was not good, which led to the slaughter of 2003 million laying hens in North America in the first half of 1000, and then 300 million died due to the outbreak of Newcastle disease. As of May 2003, there were more than 3000 million fewer laying hens in North America than in previous years.

For these reasons, in May 2003, the market for poultry eggs began to skyrocket in North America.In this way, the export price of poultry eggs in the world has also risen all the way.

The export price of my country's poultry eggs has risen, driving the domestic poultry egg market to also start to rise.

Raising laying hens was very profitable in 2003, and the timing of the laying hens of Li Hong's family was the most suitable, so their next batch of chickens will definitely make a lot of money in the next step.Now their family earns about 150 yuan a day, and during the peak egg production period, they can earn 300 yuan a day.This kind of income was considered decent in the countryside at that time.

After listening to Wang Shaodong's calculation, Li Hong directly gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Excellent, you have no problem getting into college with your brain. I heard from your father that you should have good grades in the college entrance examination, but you were replaced by someone. ?"

Wang Shaodong waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Uncle, let's not mention the sad things."

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "By the way, do you plan to feed the laying hens, in the shed at the foot of the mountain, or on the mountain where you raise the chickens?"

"How is it on the mountain?" Wang Shaodong raised his eyebrows and asked Li Hong with a smile.

"Don't tell me, Dongzi, I saw that your mountain is really suitable for raising chickens. But you have to solve some problems. First, you have to release migratory birds. When migratory birds pass by every spring and autumn, if you bring them If the germs fall into your chicken flock, it will be troublesome. Second, you have to be careful of weasel worms. These things recognize the chicken flock, and they can destroy you no matter how many chickens you have. If you can Do these two things, your chickens on the mountain can eat so much, how much feed can you save by spreading the chickens on the mountain? When the chickens grow up, you will all earn money."

Wang Shaodong had indeed thought about the dangers of weasel worms, but he hadn't thought about the risk of migratory birds.

"Uncle is right, I have to discuss this matter with our workers when I go back."

The two were talking, and then Li Hong's daughter-in-law came in with big and small bags of cooked food.

In addition, following behind Li Hong's wife, there was a woman wearing an apron, holding a passing plate with three dishes in it.

"Look, auntie, let's eat whatever we want, why are you going out to cook vegetables?" Seeing Li Hong's wife leading Li Qing back, Wang Shaodong quickly stood up.

"Dongzi, it's your first time here, and my aunt didn't go out to buy vegetables, so I went to the restaurant and fried three small dishes, so let's just eat it."

Li Hong also stood up, pushed Wang Shaodong back on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Dongzi, please sit down, we two have some wine at noon today."

"Uncle, no need, you still have to work in the afternoon?"

Li Hong ignored what Wang Shaodong said, ran to the second floor, took down a bottle of white wine, and said to Wang Shaodong: "We don't drink too much, just dry this bottle."

Wang Shaodong nodded with a smile, and then said, "That's fine, uncle."

The lunch was quite sumptuous, with fish, meat, and wine.
