The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 62 Digging a Pit
Ma Zhentang was puzzled when he saw that Wang's family had signed chicken coop lease agreements with He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang, but they didn't mention it to him.

At the wine table, He Jiaxiang asked Wang Fumin twice why he didn't rent the chicken coop of Ma Zhentang's house, but Wang Fumin faltered with two sentences that he didn't know if he could.

The banquet in the breeding area didn't last too long, and everyone didn't dare to drink too much because they still had chickens to take care of at home.The banquet that started at twelve noon ended at one o'clock.He Jiaqing first got up and said that he would go home to feed the chickens, and then He Jiaxiang wanted to go home and tidy up the idle chicken shed and left.

Ma Zhentang looked at the two He brothers who were walking to the door, and was about to say that they were going to leave, but was stopped by Wang Fumin.

"Cousin Zhen stay a little longer."

Ma Zhentang could hear something in Wang Fumin's words, moved his raised buttocks and sat down again.

About the time the He family brothers walked out, Wang Shaodong looked at Ma Zhentang and said, "Uncle Zhentang, why don't you ask why my family doesn't rent your chicken coop?"

Hearing Wang Shaodong raise this question, Ma Zhentang laughed in his heart, he really wanted to ask, but what would your Wang family say?He Jiaxiang asked, didn't you let your father dismiss you with a few words?
However, Ma Zhentang was thinking that way in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and his face was still very calm: "Your father naturally has your father's reason."

While talking, Ma Zhentang glanced sideways at Wang Fumin, but found that the other person's face was calmer than his own.

Then, Ma Zhentang turned his head to look at Wang Shaodong.Since their family needs to raise 2 chicks and hire He's brothers to raise 4 chickens in a shed, there are still 4 chickens left. Where can they arrange it?
Wang Shaodong looked at Ma Zhentang who was frowning, and smiled slightly.

"Uncle, something happened to my family recently, and I got a sum of money. I want to buy two sets of chicken raising equipment in cages, and take out the air heater. We have a big shed with chickens in it. After the equipment came, we couldn't install it. So I thought that after the equipment arrived, I would install one of them in the idle shed of your house, and then there would be no problem with the arrangement of [-] chickens for each of the two sheds. Uncle, how about this arrangement? Sample?"

Which chicken farmer doesn't want to be in a cage?However, due to the high price and cost of cage equipment, not all farmers can afford it, especially those small family farmers. For them, the investment in cage equipment is too large, far exceeding a family's ability to afford.

In 2002, the annual income of most rural families in Central Shandong was only a few thousand yuan. If it weren’t for the support policies in the county, the villagers would not even have enough money to build greenhouses, let alone invest a large sum of money in cage breeding. equipment.

Ma Zhentang knew that the Wang family must have benefited from the college entrance examination some time ago, but as for how much benefit he got, it would make the Wang family happy all of a sudden, and he didn't know how much.He guessed that this number was at least [-].

"Brother, do you want to use cage raising equipment?"

After hearing Wang Shaodong's words, Ma Zhentang hurriedly turned his head to look at Wang Fumin.

Wang Fumin also smiled slightly and nodded.

"Many, how much is a set?"

Ma Zhentang also wanted to do it, but he had no money.

In order to build the breeding greenhouses here, none of the eight farmers owed debts.Now, the situation on the side of raising pigs is better than that on the side of raising chickens. Each family has already slaughtered a batch of pigs, and now the second batch of pigs is about to be slaughtered.Now because of raising pigs for feed, they can be slaughtered in four months, which is faster than Chai roosters.But Wang Shaodong knew that if the foot-and-mouth disease broke out next spring, the farmers would lose all the money they earned this year.

Under the cover of the nest, there are still eggs, and no pig farmer can escape the foot-and-mouth disease storm that is not much worse than the emotional flu.

In the poultry breeding area, I have inquired about the price of cage equipment. A set of equipment, without a heater, costs about 10 yuan to set up.

Ma Zhentang looked at Wang Fumin with some excitement. Four poultry farmers came over at the same time, and now that Wang's family was about to install cage raising equipment, it was impossible for him not to be moved.

Compared with free-range greenhouses, caged greenhouses are basically equivalent to the comparison between machine guns and rifles, one is chug, the other is da, da, da.

With cages and greenhouses, the Wang family can walk with their heads held high in this breeding area.

"Stove with ventilation, [-]!" Wang Fumin made a gesture of eight.

This amount is the result of discussions between Wang Shaodong and Wang Fumin last night. If everyone knows that the cage equipment is only 2 yuan, and the ventilation heater is only 4 yuan, it will not take two years. The breeding greenhouses are all equipped with equipment, and Wang Shaodong's next plan to annex the other four breeding greenhouses will not be easy to implement.

Ma Zhentang's reaction surprised Wang Fumin.

I saw Ma Zhentang, his eyes widened, his mouth rounded, and it took more than ten seconds before he said: "The air heater is only [-]? The air heater sold by the county agricultural machinery factory is only [-], and a set of cage equipment is only [-]." Sixty-five thousand? This is too cheap! Brother, how did you get in touch?"

Regarding this issue, Wang Shaodong had already considered it with Wang Fumin, and then Wang Fumin hurriedly said: "A relative of mine contacted me, and I can't say where it is."

Obviously, the Wang family doesn't want to talk about it, and you, Ma Zhentang, don't want to ask any more.

Although the price was really attractive, Ma Zhentang's family definitely couldn't afford it.

Among the four farmers, Ma Zhentang has the most flexible mind.In his previous life, Ma Zhentang was also the leader of the four breeding farms, earning the most money, and later he was also the first to install cage equipment.

In fact, Wang Shaodong knew in his heart that there were only so many resources, and whoever wanted to seize the opportunity for development had to resort to some means. Installing the cage equipment in Ma Zhentang's house was well thought out by himself.

Wang Shaodong believes that a single farmer cannot succeed, but with his 15 years of memory and experience, he can lead everyone to a great cause.And if you want the three neighbors around you to obey me obediently, you have to use some means.Just like a teacher manages first-grade pupils, it will be easy to manage after a beating.Wang Shaodong's first target was Ma Zhentang.

Ma Zhentang didn't know what it was, so he nodded lightly: "If that's the case, it's okay to put it on my side for a while, but it won't matter until the time comes."

What should I do next? "

"It's simple." Wang Shaodong took over the conversation, "Uncle Zhentang, we are engaged in the breeding industry, and the scale will be profitable, so the cage breeding equipment is also the general trend. I discussed with my dad, and the equipment will be installed on you in the future. Home, then we will not give you 2 yuan per chicken for hard work, we will give you the original price of the equipment in the next step. And you don’t have to rush to pay us the full amount, every year, give our family 1 RMB, and then pay it off in eight years.”

While talking, Wang Shaodong took out the contract.
