The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 50
Two weeks after chick placement, as the chicks grow up, they are much more resistant than they were at the beginning.Coupled with timely vaccines and proper prevention, chicken farmers have become much lighter.

Wang Shaodong planned in his mind to inquire about suitable equipment in the next step, directly install a set of automatic drinking water filling equipment, and then install air conditioners in the two greenhouses, so that the future management will be easier.

Do every step well, and then for farmers, the rest is just waiting to count the money.

The chickens at Wang Shaodong's house have been on the farm for more than two weeks, and nothing has happened. They have not contracted bird flu or respiratory diseases. This made the courageous Ma Zhentang unable to sit still.

More importantly, the price of live chickens has been rising since June of the lunar calendar, and there is no turning back.

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong clearly remembered that on the 2002th day of the seventh lunar month in 7, in about four months, the price of live chickens for a young rooster that had just grown to two catties approached the historical high of 15 yuan.However, after the Hungry Ghost Festival on the [-]th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the price of live chickens suddenly collapsed. In a short period of time, the retail price of live chickens in the market dropped to about [-] yuan, and the price of chickens in carts was only [-] yuan. many.

For the farmers, this price is really unrealistic and unrealistic.

If 2000 roosters are raised, the investment will be about 3 yuan in four and a half months, but they can only be sold for 2 yuan. Not to mention the hard work, they will lose more than 1 yuan.

If they don't sell them, the farmers can't afford the feed cost of more than 400 yuan a day.

This is the case in the breeding industry. When the market is not good, several batches of chickens lose money, and many years of savings are used.

In his previous life, Wang Fumin had told Wang Shaodong many times, that people can do whatever they want in this life, but don’t engage in any breeding business.

Breeding requires a lot of effort and high risk. Of course, when luck is good, you can really make money, but if you are unlucky, you can't catch up with the good market, and you are the one who loses money.

On the surface, farming is almost like gambling.

But for Wang Shaodong, with his more than ten years of memory of the market, with his more than ten years of experience learned from his father, and with his enthusiasm for the breeding industry, engaging in the breeding industry is not just a matter of saying nothing. No risk, and it's easy.

Ma Zhentang decided to go to the chicken, which was a month earlier than Wang Zheng made this decision in his previous life.

Ma Zhentang's daughter Ma Lili received the admission letter from Qilu Normal University on August 8, and then neighbors came to his house to celebrate with the gift, and Ma's house held banquets for a week.

After the banquet, Ma Zhentang wandered to Wang Shaodong's house.

Because of his son's college entrance examination, Wang Fumin only gave Ma Lili a red envelope of 100 yuan, but he didn't go to Ma's house for a drink.Wang Fumin knew in his heart that when he came to Ma's house, he had no place to speak, and it was embarrassing.

His son's future was changed by 30 yuan, and he felt a little awkward when he thought about it.

"Brother Wang, my daughter is going to college on the first day of September. We are the first college student in Taohualing Village."

Ma Zhentang drank some wine and spoke in a high-pitched voice.

The sun has already set in the western mountains, and the sunset glow is very beautiful. Wang Shaodong will occasionally take a look, but his attention is more on a book on how to raise chickens.Looking at it, Wang Shaodong frowned. The person who edited this book didn't know much about raising chickens. If he read this book, raising chickens would make no money.

Wang Fumin said a little dissatisfied: "My son usually studies much better than your daughter."

Ma Zhentang said with a smile: "Brother Wang, it's up to you. Dongzi is so promising. Hey, you shouldn't... You should look for it. Also, you just can't get it back this year." , Dongzi also has to go back to school for another year."

Wang Fumin glanced at Wang Shaodong lying on the bamboo chair, and shook his head helplessly.

"Hey……"

Ma Zhentang seemed to understand what Wang Fumin meant, and with his hips akimbo, he said to Wang Fumin, "Brother Wang, let me persuade your son."

Then, Ma Zhentang yelled at Wang Shaodong who was lying under a tree reading a book not far away: "Dongzi, come here."

When Wang Shaodong saw his neighbor Ma Zhentang standing in the courtyard with a blushing face, he knew that his uncle Zhentang had drunk.

Zeng Guofan once said that if you want to judge a person's character, let him get drunk and then look at his performance.

Many new sons-in-law went to the old father-in-law's house for the first time, and the father-in-law's family tried their best to persuade them to drink, and they also wanted to use this method to see the character of the new son-in-law.

Generally speaking, people with good moral character will speak and do things well even when they are drunk.

Some people are gentle and polite on the surface, but once they are drunk, their true nature is revealed.He bluffed and yelled, as if no one in the world was better than him.

As it happens, Ma Zhentang is actually such a person.

Wang Shaodong stood up bravely, pretending that he didn't see Ma Zhentang just now, scratching his head embarrassedly, walked over, and said, "Uncle, I didn't see you coming just now."

Ma Zhentang didn't care about this, nodded, looked at Wang Shaodong with a serious face and said, "You little kid, you don't go to school to retake the college entrance examination, what are you doing in this remote mountain and remote place? What are you doing?"

As soon as Ma Zhentang came up with this momentum, if he really didn't know him, he might be bluffed, but Wang Shaodong had a lot of dealings with this old neighbor in previous and future lives.

Wang Shaodong walked over with a smile, looked at Ma Zhentang and said, "You and my dad are both farmers. If the farmers are not promising, you will look down on yourself."

Regarding what his nephew said, Ma Zhentang also felt that it made sense. He blushed and scratched his head and said, "Hey, what are you talking about, Dongzi? Why do I still look down on myself? Then tell me, this farmer, What can I get out of it?"

Wang Shaodong said in his heart, Ding Sanshi still raises pigs, and his Peking University graduates go home to raise chickens. It is not a cheap thing to engage in the breeding industry.

"Uncle Zhentang, let me tell you this, if you catch up with the market, if you are brave enough, a batch of chickens can earn a construction worker's income for 20 years."

In his previous life, in 2002, Ma Zhentang earned 30 yuan from a batch of chickens. At that time, the annual income of construction workers was less than 1 yuan. Let alone 20 years, 30 years would be more than enough.

Pfft, Ma Zhentang, who drank too much wine, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and all the laughter came out too much.Wang Fumin standing next to him couldn't believe what his son said, and shook his head helplessly.

"Son, if you are in the breeding business, you can earn a little money. It is unrealistic to make a lot of money by relying on this."

Seeing Wang Shaodong say such words, Ma Zhentang decided not to educate the other party, he wiped off the corner of his mouth, patted Wang Shaodong on the shoulder and said: "You, you are not as stable as your father, you have to fall twice to know how bad you are. Hey, by the way, Dongzi, are the chickens in your family the chicks you contacted?"

"Yeah, what's the matter, Uncle?"

"You help uncle contact 2000 chicks, and uncle will accompany your family to take risks."

In the eyes of Wang Fumin and Ma Zhentang, every chicken is an adventure.

"No, no, uncle, you can't get on the chicken right now."

"What? Are you still afraid that I will steal your business?"

Hearing Ma Zhentang's words, Wang Shaodong was a little dumbfounded, you only bought 2000 chickens, it's a business of stealing feathers.
