Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 238 Li Yi’s plan

Li Yi knew that his father was pulling him to find Uncle Feng, the village party secretary, so he followed him closely.

Sure enough, after a while his father took him to Feng's house!

At this time, Uncle Feng's family was finishing their meal, including porridge, boiled potatoes, and some steamed buns mixed with corn flour.

There are more than a dozen people in the Feng family, but it is still a bit shabby to eat this little food.

In fact, this is normal. Although Uncle Feng is the village party secretary, he does not receive a salary. His annual income is the same as that of ordinary members, and he relies on the production team to share food.

Therefore, don’t think that the village party secretary will definitely be able to eat well. In fact, this is not the case!

Seeing the Li family's father and son pushing open the door and walking in, Feng Kai was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked: "Brother Shankui, Xiaoyi, why are you here? Have you eaten?"

Li Shankui immediately said: "His uncle, we two came here to talk to you about the rations in the village!"

Feng Kai immediately asked: "What's wrong with the rations? Brother Shankui, your old Li family shouldn't be short of this food, right?"

Before his father could speak, Li Yi took over the conversation: "Uncle Feng, my father saw that there is a big food gap in the village this year. Many families may not even have enough basic rations, so he wanted me to help the villagers. You Do you think this is necessary?"

Feng Kai's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Of course it is necessary, Xiaoyi, do you have any idea?"

"Well, I have some ideas. Uncle Feng, please listen to the total first!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, tell me, I'm listening!"

"My idea is to build a breeding base in our village!"

"What kind of breeding base? What are you going to raise?" Feng Kai asked immediately.

"Sheep and cows!"

"Raise cattle and sheep. Our village has a few cattle, but no sheep!" Feng Kai said in surprise.

"Uncle Feng, please listen to me first. Our village has no grain harvest this year, but there is a lot of straw. In previous years, these things were distributed to the members as firewood."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Feng's eldest son Feng Dahu said, "What else can you do instead of burning firewood?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "In addition to being used as firewood, straw can also be used as fodder for livestock, and it is also good forage."

Feng Kai was also a shrewd man. He immediately reacted and said, "You mean to use these straws to raise cattle and sheep?"

"Well, if you raise cattle and sheep, sell the money and distribute it to the members, wouldn't it be able to make up for the shortage of food rations?" Li Yi said.

"Having said that, there are so many people in our village. If there are fewer cattle and sheep, it won't be useful. If there are more, where will we find so many cattle and sheep?" Feng Kai said.

"I've already thought about this. We can go to Houcaidu (pastoral area) to buy cattle and sheep!"

Then Li Yi continued: "There is a slaughtering season for cattle and sheep in Houcaochao, that is, in September. Except for reserved ewes, lambs that have grown for more than half a year will be slaughtered!"

"But there are also some lambs and calves that have just been born for a month or two. They are too young to slaughter, and these lambs and calves have become a burden in the eyes of the herdsmen."

"Why have you become a burden?" Feng Dahu asked puzzledly.

Without waiting for Li Yi to explain, Feng Kai said: "The winter in Houcao is too cold. It is difficult for these lambs and calves to survive. They will either freeze to death or starve to death. Do you think they are a burden?"

"That's right!"

Li Yi immediately said: "So my idea is that we will send people to Houcaochao now to buy these lambs and calves that are not rare to herdsmen, and then bring them back to our village to raise them."

"In addition, when the cattle and sheep grow up, I will buy them at market prices. What do you think?"

Feng Kai took a few puffs of dry cigarettes, thought for a moment, and then said: "The idea is good, but if you want to do it, the cost is not small. First, you need a lot of money to buy cattle and sheep."

"Uncle Qian Feng, you don't have to worry. I can help you buy lambs and calves, but no matter how much profit you make in the end, I need to take half of the net profit!"

Feng Kai's eyes lit up and he said immediately: "Xiaoyi, what do you mean is that you buy cattle and sheep, the team will help you raise them, and when the cattle and sheep are sold, half of the money will be shared with the village?"

"Yes!" "Okay, I will discuss it with other cadres in the village tomorrow and then give you an answer!" Feng Kai said.

"Well, hurry up, I'll be leaving for the capital in a day or two!" Li Yi said.

Hearing this, Feng Kai immediately asked: "Qiangzi told me about this the other day. Are you really planning to go to the capital?"

"Ok!"

"Have you decided what to do in the capital?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Do you really want to take Qiangzi and Dongzi with you?"

"Yes, but the premise is that the adults in their family agree. If they don't agree, I won't take it!" Li Yi said.

"Well, take Qiangzi with you when you leave, and you don't have to pay him wages. When you come back, just bring him back with all his beard and tail!" Feng Kai said.

"Row!"

Qiangzi on the side smiled and said: "Grandpa, do you agree that Brother Yi and I will go to the capital?"

"You can go, but you have to listen to Xiao Yi and don't cause trouble!" Feng Kai said.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine!"

"You kid, learn more from Xiao Yi!" Feng Kai said.

"understood!"

After talking about the business, the Li family and his son took their leave and left the Feng family!

As soon as he walked out of the door, Li Shankui frowned and said, "You kid didn't say you wanted to give money when you were at home!"

Although he also wanted to help the villagers, Li Shankui himself was not willing to help others and let his son pay for it.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Dad, are you worried about me losing money?"

"Nonsense, they all say that if a family has a lot of money, it doesn't count those with fur. You have to take risks whenever you raise animals!" Li Shankui said.

"Dad, having said that, what we bought is not a newly born lamb or calf, so the survival rate is still very high."

Then Li Yi continued: "The most important thing is that the price of cattle and sheep in Houcao is not high at the moment. I estimate that the price of a sheep will not exceed 20 yuan, or even more than ten yuan. After all, one sheep A pound of mutton costs less than two yuan!”

"But when the lambs grow up, even if they only kill 30 to 40 kilograms of meat, it will still cost 80 to [-] yuan, three or four times the profit. If it is a cow, the profit will be even higher!"

Li Shankui frowned and said, "Are you really sure?"

"Ok!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Besides, even if there is a real risk, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as my repayment to the villagers. In the past few years, I have not missed the villagers. It is everyone who has tolerated me. Now that everyone is in trouble, I I should help everyone.”

"Money is nothing more than an external possession. Even if you lose it, you can still make it back in the future!"

When Li Yi said this, he said it all from the bottom of his heart, but his gratitude to the villagers was not all because of the present, but more of the past life.

In his previous life, he left home out of guilt. His eldest sister was gone, and his third sister also ran away from home. Only his second sister was still far away in Yaogou Village and could only visit his parents occasionally.

During that time, my parents' condition was not very good, and they all relied on the help of the villagers.

Especially those little brothers, during the years when I was away, they were very busy and really helped a lot.

Li Yi has always kept these things in mind, so he thought about taking these little brothers to the capital together, thinking about helping the villagers survive this food crisis.

As for things like money, if you lose it, you lose it!
What's more, according to Li Yi's analysis, the possibility of losing money cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is very slim!
