The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 2 Chicken Farmers in Taohualing Village
Taohualing Village, Dazhai Township, Gangcheng County, Luzhong City, is located on a barren slope at the east end of the village. It is a breeding base supported by the Gangcheng County Government last year. There are a total of eight farmers, of which the third one from the north is The chicken farm contracted by Wang Shaodong's family.

Among the eight households, three raise chickens, one raises ducks, and the remaining four raise pigs.

Last year, just after the Spring Festival, the team of Gangcheng County made a study and decided to take Taohualing Village in Dazhai Township as a key target of poverty alleviation. The poverty alleviation plan was to build a breeding base in Dongling at the east end of the village.

The preferential policies given by the county are also relatively strong. To build a 1000-square-meter steel structure chicken greenhouse, the county will subsidize 3 yuan after passing the acceptance.Moreover, the leader of the County Animal Husbandry Bureau stated that the farmers will be provided with technical guidance, contact with seedlings and contact with sales channels and other services throughout the process.The township and the village have also negotiated. In the signed contract, the village exempts the contractor from the contracting fee for five years.

The policy is strong enough, but after two months of mobilization, only eight households signed up.

Because although a chicken greenhouse in the county provides a subsidy of 3 yuan, it takes more than 6 yuan to invest in a 3-square-meter steel structure chicken greenhouse, and the remaining [-] yuan is not a small amount.

In 2001, there were not many farmers in Taohualing Village who could afford so much money at once.

If it weren't for the help of the county to apply for a part of the loan, I am afraid that even the eight households would not be able to sign up in the end.

Besides, everyone has no idea whether they can make money in the breeding industry.

Although it is said that every household in the valley has a tradition of raising pigs, chickens, ducks and sheep, but when it comes to large-scale free-range farming in greenhouses, everyone has no experience.

Everyone knows that three years ago in Dazhai Village, Dazhai Township, there was a chicken farm in a small shed. The scale was small, and more than 1000 red jade, three yellow, and Ma chickens were raised at a time. It died within a week.The heartbroken farmers directly abandoned the chicken sheds with a lot of investment, and went to the south to work and pay off their debts.

The prices fluctuated up and down, and the epidemic was overwhelming. In 2001, the aquaculture industry was an industry with an uncertain future.

The Wang family believed the propaganda in the county, took out 17 yuan of family savings, borrowed 2001 yuan from relatives and friends, borrowed 6 yuan from the bank with government guarantees, and invested a total of [-] yuan. By the end of [-] Finally, two chicken sheds were built.Later, after the county inspected and accepted the chicken shed, they gave their family a financial subsidy of [-] yuan.

In order to start this chicken farm, the Wang family took on a total of 13 yuan in debt, and then they still have 6 yuan in their hands as the cost of raising chickens.

Wang Shaodong's father, Wang Fumin, studied for another month in the farmer training class organized by the county. In March 2002, the Wang family finally got the first batch of chicks.

The chicken seedlings were contacted by Xiao Sun from the County Animal Husbandry Bureau, and they are authentic Guangdong Sanhuang.

This kind of chicken is characterized by golden yellow paws, beak and tail hair, beautiful appearance and high quality meat.

Before 1995, people in Gangcheng County had never seen this kind of chicken. Later, Liu Dazhuang, a villager in Dazhai Village who was the first to raise chickens in greenhouses, introduced this kind of chicken. In a few years, a certain market was also opened. .

Four months passed, and more than 3 yuan was invested. Seeing that the [-] three-yellow roosters raised by Wang's family were about to go on the market, Wang Fumin didn't know that a disaster was quietly approaching.

The outbreak of bird flu caused heavy losses to the four poultry farmers Wang Fumin, Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang.

Even because of the bird flu outbreak, the four poultry farmers once lost confidence in doing this business.

However, Wang Shaodong understands that poultry farming will definitely make money.

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong remembered clearly that after the outbreak of bird flu, poultry farming across the country was greatly impacted.In the market in Gangcheng County, the price of five-month-old roosters dropped from eight yuan a catty to less than four yuan, while the price of young chickens dropped from the peak of two yuan to thirty cents. one.

However, the three poultry farmers, Wang Fumin, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang, who were frightened by the bird flu, did not dare to raise them at all.The courageous Ma Zhentang directly leased the greenhouses of Wang Fumin, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang. In August 2002, he cruelly bought 8 three yellows, covering eight greenhouses.

Ma Zhentang saved more than 6 yuan just for chicken fry.

Then at the end of 2002, the raw chicken market began to experience a serious shortage, and the price of a five-month-old cockerel suddenly rose to 30 yuan a catty.As a result, Ma Zhentang earned [-] yuan just for that one time.

Wang Shaodong knows very well that farming in the countryside is definitely more promising than going to university.

During the two days of the college entrance examination, Wang Shaodong figured it out. What he wanted was not the fast-paced life in the big city, but the leisurely life in the countryside.

After the college entrance examination, it was Wang Shaodong's first plan to start a chicken farm with his parents at home.

Right now, for Wang Shaodong, the most important task is to avoid the tragedy of the farm losing everything due to the outbreak of bird flu.

Not only his own farm, Wang Shaodong hopes that the other three poultry farms will also escape this disaster.

After the college entrance examination, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili, a high school classmate from the same village, hired a tricycle and went home with their luggage.

Ma Lili was Wang Shaodong's classmate from elementary school to university. She can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart. Later, Ma Lili was also admitted to Qilu Normal University, where she studied educational technology and teacher education. After graduating in 2006, he entered Luzhong No. [-] Middle School as an information technology teacher, and later married a worker in the cold rolling plant of Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant, and gave birth to two daughters. Compared with Wang Shaodong's previous life, his life was much smoother.

The road leading to Taohualing Village was very bumpy. Looking at Ma Lili, whose chest was heaving violently sitting opposite him, Wang Shaodong couldn't help but fell into reverie.

In the previous life, I was in my 30s and still couldn't find a wife. In this life, I can't be so indecisive about emotional issues.

In his previous life, he heard Han Kang say that Ma Lili actually liked him in high school.

Thinking about it, although I can't say how handsome I am, at least I am worthy of the audience, and I was a standard student in high school, and my grades in every exam were stable in the top two in the class. Some girls like me , is also a reasonable thing.

The man is 22 years old, but he has reached the legal age for marriage, and he is [-] years old now, and falling in love now is really not a puppy love.

"Lili."

Ma Lili raised her delicate face when she heard Wang Shaodong calling her.

"what's up?"

"Are you free tomorrow?" Wang Shaodong felt that he should attack Ma Lili.
