The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 195 A toilet needs to be built on the mountain
"Dad, why are you here?"

Normally, Wang Fumin seldom came to Songbai Mountain. Since Wang Shaodong contracted Songbai Mountain, the number of times Wang Fumin came here was less than five times.

The farm was busy enough, and Wang Fumin didn't have the extra energy to see what his son was doing.

Seeing the great changes that have taken place on the entire Songbai Mountain, Wang Fumin smiled.

"Okay, son, you've fenced off the whole mountain."

Wang Shaodong surrounded the entire Songbai Mountain with barbed wire, criss-crossing, like a chessboard, and divided into many small units, each of which can meet the requirements for stocking [-] chickens.

Wang Shaodong followed his father's line of sight and said, "It cost two to three million yuan, if it doesn't look like it, it would be shameful."

Wang Fumin nodded, and then said: "Oh, Dongzi, your concubine gave birth last night, and your mother went to the 620 Hospital in Liu Erzhuzi's car early this morning. , I guess you must have run out of battery, and I sent you a charger."

Wang Shaodong stared, and hurriedly asked: "It rained so heavily yesterday, my little concubine gave birth? What happened? How did they go to the hospital?"

"I gave birth to a cousin for you. No matter how heavy the rain is, you have to go. The road over there is asphalt, so they go there if they have a car. It will be really troublesome if we encounter this situation here."

"Great, then, Dad, shall we go and have a look?"

"We can't do without people here. Besides, it's raining, and the roads on our side are very difficult. If our sedan car gets on the muddy road, it won't be a mud monkey? Your mother has nothing to do with the farm. , we have to stay in the hospital for two days, so we don’t have to go, when your little sister-in-law brings your little cousin home, let’s go to confinement again.”

"Who is serving confinement in the hospital?"

"Your grandma and your mother are there, and your uncle runs back and forth, shopping and so on."

Wang Shaodong was overjoyed, his little cousin finally came out.My little cousin is 19 years younger than me and was born in 2003.And Wang Shaodong knew that this little cousin's name was Zhao Jing.

Wang Shaodong still had a deep impression on Zhao Jing. When this kid was only six or seven years old, Wang Shaodong once bought him a jigsaw puzzle to play with. Shock.Facts have proved that Zhao Jing's spatial imagination ability is very strong. When he was in school, he learned mathematics very well and often got full marks in the exam.

"That's all right, that's all right, that's what, my little concubine's family is far away, and it's inconvenient to come here. My mother is her elder sister, so it's right to take care of the confinement. Besides, my mother has gone, and she will take care of her." My grandma, let her take it easy, too."

"That's right, Dongzi, the chicken farm is going to be disinfected today, I have to go back and have a look."

"Okay, you go, Dad."

In order to ensure the survival rate of the third batch of broiler chickens, Wang Shaodong suggested that the chicken farm should be thoroughly disinfected three times, and then the chickens should be picked up again.

It was the rainy season during this period, and the roads were not easy to travel. Whether the chickens transporting chicks could reach Taohualing Village was another matter.

Now the Wang family has earned another 40 yuan, plus the cost of raising chickens, they have another 160 million yuan. As for how to spend the money, Wang Shaodong has a plan in mind.

When the rainy season comes, the dirt road is muddy. If you want the chicken-carrying car to drive to the chicken farm smoothly, you have to get some gravel pads. The road is seven or eight miles. When the time comes, you must find a car and a laborer. It will cost another [-] to [-].Moreover, laying sand and gravel is not a long-term solution. The next step is to build this dirt road into an asphalt road.

Moreover, Wang Shaodong also conducted an investigation into the construction of a three- to four-kilometer road from Fangjiazhuang Village to Taohualing Village as an asphalt road.

In 2003, the construction standard for rural roads was five meters wide and ten centimeters thick, and the cost was about 15 yuan per kilometer.According to this standard, Wang Shaodong needs about 60 yuan to build a four-kilometer-long and five-meter-wide rural asphalt road.

Wang Shaodong thought, this year his father finished raising the third batch of chickens, which is almost enough money for road construction.

The survival rate of the second batch of broiler chickens was not well controlled, so when the price was better than that of the first batch of chickens, the income was much lower.Raising chickens is a very cost-effective job. If some details are not done well, it will not only affect the income, but may even cause a batch of chickens that originally made money to lose money in the end.

Wang Shaodong watched his father Wang Fumin leave, and then saw Zheng Tao walking towards this side while lifting his pants.

"Dongzi, why did my uncle leave?"

Wang Fumin was older than Zheng Tao's father, so Zheng Tao and Zheng Hui called Wang Fumin uncle.

"Here's the charger for me."

Zheng Tao went to take a rest just now. There is no toilet on this mountain, and then when everyone relieved, they would just catch them.Wang Shaodong felt that this was definitely not possible.Now there are only four people on the mountain. These things are easy to talk about. Then the scale of farming on the mountain will increase in the next step. There are tens of thousands of chickens in free-range farming. There are several rows of chicken coops and dormitories down the mountain.

This is another investment, and many things have to be considered.

After a heavy rain, the air on the whole mountain became extraordinarily fresh, taking a breath, felt the sweetness in the throat.In June, the flowers and plants on the mountain were already very luxuriant, and the climbing vines had already climbed up the barbed wire fences installed earlier, which meant to compete with the barbed wire fences.

"Zheng Tao, we still need to plan and plan on this mountain."

Zheng Tao washed his hands in a washbasin filled with rainwater, then stood up, wiped his hands with his clothes, nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Dong, according to what you said, we invested so much money in the barbed wire, It's a bit stingy to raise a thousand little chickens."

"Look, we have ten chicken coops in this row, and these chicken coops can hold [-] chickens no problem. Then we need another nine rows of chicken coops, and the scale of our breeding on the whole mountain will be large in the future. Up to [-] chickens."

Zheng Tao was taken aback, and said with widened eyes, "There are so many chickens, how many people are needed to manage them?"

Wang Shaodong did not answer Zheng Tao's question immediately, but went on to say: "There is a row in this place, and there is a row behind it. At least four rows can be built. The place over there is relatively flat, so one row can be built, and the other side also needs to be built." One row, and the other side, you can build two rows. In addition, there are more chickens on the mountain, and more people must be hired. At that time, the staff dormitory will also have to be built on the mountain, and the staff dormitory must be well planned. And, ah, We need to build more toilets."

Zheng Tao was puzzled: "Toilet? Is there still a need to build a toilet on the mountain?"

"It is necessary to build a toilet. After the toilet is built, the sewers and sewers are built, and then all of them are collected in the septic tank, so that biogas can be developed and used directly. The residue of biogas can also be used as fertilizer for orchards or lotus ponds. It will be all right."

Wang Shaodong has his own detailed plan for the entire mountain village, which Zheng Hui, Zheng Tao, Wang Yuliang, and even Zhao Shihai, who know more about it, admire very much.

"Well, Brother Dong, don't be angry when I say it. We are not a city. Will making that sewer make people laugh?"

Wang Shaodong smiled, feeling that Zheng Tao was a little unfounded.

"Zheng Tao, do your own thing well, listen to other people's opinions if you want to, and take it as a gust of wind if you don't want to listen."

After finishing speaking, Wang Shaodong felt his stomach tighten, and knew that he had to find a shelter from the wind for convenience.

The sun came out and shone on the tip of the slender blade of grass, and the raindrops hanging on it shone gleamingly. Suddenly, a green-yellow grasshopper whose wings had not fully grown came out and licked the blade of grass. The raindrops shook cleanly.

Wang Shaodong finished his convenience and climbed out of the pit.

In the mountains around Taohualing Village, there are many large and small pits. The largest one is two or three meters wide and tens of meters deep. It is an iron stone mine with a long history.

Around the Luzhong area, there are many such open-pit ironstone mines.During the Warring States Period, the central Shandong area was once an important iron smelting base.

In addition to the deep and large ironstone pits, there are more stone pits on the surrounding mountains, which are only two or three meters deep and three or four meters wide.In mountain villages, when building houses, the stones on the mountain are the best raw materials.The trough is lined with crushed stones, and the walls are built with neatly beaten stones. The adhesive between the stones is lime burned from bluestone slabs and fine sand in the Shahe River. As well as wheat bran, lime is used to paint the walls, big elm rollers felled from the mountain are used for the beams of the house, and mats made of hay are spread on the roof, and then neat rows of wheat straw are used to make ventilation and exhaust. Waterproof top layer.

A few decades ago, in a mountain village like Taohualing Village, you didn’t need to buy anything to build a house. All the raw materials were prepared by yourself. During the month's slack time, the house was built.

In order to get raw materials for building houses, there are large and small stone pits on the mountains around each village.Decades ago, when a family wanted to build a house, the first thing they did was to carry a big hammer, a drill, an iron crowbar and a hand hammer, and go into the stone pit to smash rocks.

In each stone pit, there are many sweats of men in the mountains.The stones removed from the stone nests eventually turned into houses with stone walls and straw roofs in mountain villages, feeding generations of children in the mountains.

Once the stone pit is dug, every rainy season, the surrounding rainwater will flow in with soil, and when the water recedes, a lot of soil will accumulate in the stone pit.These soils are often relatively soft, and when the sun shines in winter, lying on them is as comfortable as lying on a bed.In summer, these stone nests rich in organic matter become places with lush flowers and plants. Many hares, snakes, pheasants, turtledoves, etc. like to build a nest in the stone nests.

Now, the three or four stone pits around the place where Wang Shaodong and the others live have become their natural toilets.

This has become Wang Shaodong's hidden worry. The next step is to wait until winter to find a natural place to bask in the sun.

No, we have to fix a toilet first.

Now that Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang have no jobs for the time being, the project on Songbai Mountain and the project of building a three-story small western-style building over the chicken farm have all been completed, and then Wang Shaodong arranged for them to go to Wujiayuzi Mountain to be in charge of the four of them. Take care of the cherry trees on the hill.In fact, it's just watering or something, but with such a rain now, it seems that there is no problem in Wujiayuzi Mountain without watering for ten and a half months.Then Wu Laoer and the four of them were left on the mountain to watch over the place, so that the surrounding people would not let the saplings be stolen from them.It was raining, and the ground was very soft. It was really easy to steal the cherry saplings.Although there is also a barbed wire fence around Songbai Mountain, that thing can stop a few honest hares. If a person wants to go in, he can break the barbed wire fence with two or three strokes of large pliers.Door locks are designed to keep out good people, but bad people cannot be prevented. To prevent bad people, people have to rely on people.

The next step is to wait for the seven little native dogs brought by Zhao Shihai to grow up, and there will also be three or two on the Wujiayuzi Mountain to be responsible for patrolling.

Of course, the main patrol mission has to be on the Songbai Mountain side.The pressure of a chicken being stolen is much greater than that of a cherry being stolen. In addition to guarding against people, you have to let go of foxes, weasels, etc.The barbed wire can't stop them at all.

It seems that Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang should have nothing to do these two days, then Wang Shaodong decided to wait for lunch, call and transfer them to Songbai Mountain, first in the east of the row of chicken coops where he lives There are two dry toilets on the head.

In the current situation, we can only build dry toilets. As for the next step of flush toilets, sewers, septic tanks, biogas digesters, etc., we have to wait until we have money in the future.

The breakfast on Songbai Mountain is always arranged by Zheng Hui.In mountain villages, it is also difficult to eat fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast.The nearest small workshop selling deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk is also seven or eight miles away from Wang Shaodong and the others.

However, this situation will change when the Wang family's farms, orchards and reservoirs are all developed in the future.At that time, there will be thousands of employees employed by the Wang family alone, and then this group of people will need to make overall plans for eating, drinking and messing up every day.Not only must there be toilets with a unified plan, but also a canteen with a unified plan.

At present, the areas around Taohualing Village that can be developed are basically contracted by Wang Shaodong, and the rest may be the irrigated land on both sides of the river and the village itself.

In the next step, the village itself must be planned, and then the land on both sides of the river will be irrigated. Wang Shaodong estimates that the mountain village will have more people in the next step, and there will be fewer people growing food there, and more vegetables will be grown there.

Breakfast is millet porridge, boiled eggs, steamed buns and pickles, all prepared by Zheng Hui alone.

After breakfast, Wang Shaodong's mobile phone was almost fully charged, and then he called Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang and asked them to come to the mountain to have a look and use these two days to build a toilet with four pits on the mountain .
