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

Chapter 519 Invest 10 to build a breeding farm!
After Little Dog finished washing his body, put on a clean vest and returned to the house, Er Gouzi's dinner was also ready.

When the lid of the pot was lifted and dinner was brought into the room, both Li Yi and Zhang Ziqiang who came with him were silent.

The dinner at Little Dog's house is really too simple. No, it must be too shabby!
There were four or five yam eggs boiled in a pot of clear water gruel, and there was also a small pot of cold bitter vegetables (wild vegetables). It is no exaggeration to say that there was no oil or water in this meal.

It would be okay if the porridge was thicker, but the porridge at Xiaochouwa's house is a real water porridge. Since there is more water and less rice, the porridge soup is soup and the rice is rice.

Even so, Er Gouzi and the two younger sisters ate with gusto, which made people's noses sore.

"Is this what you have for dinner?" Li Yi asked in a low voice.

The puppy nodded first!
"Does the family have no money to buy rice and noodles?"

Little Dog Boy shook his head, then smiled and said: "Brother Yi, isn't this always the case in the village!"

Hearing this, Li Yi fell silent.

Yes, it’s not just the little puppy and his family who are suffering from poverty in the village, most other families are the same.

As long as I'm full at lunch, I usually just make do with one bite at night. Not to mention that I'm full, as long as I can "coax" my stomach.

Porridge with boiled yam and eggs, and batter with boiled potatoes are the most common dinners for villagers at night!
Even in the homes of the village party secretary and brigade captain, at most they only have an extra black-faced steamed bun.

After a long silence, Li Yi asked in a deep voice: "Are you okay during this time?"

"It's good. Since I learned to pick up lambs and calves with Veterinarian Cui, I have earned a lot of work points. I should be able to get more money and food at the end of the year!" Little Dog said happily.

"Hey, can we give more work points to the team that picks up lambs and calves?"

"Well, I'll give you 10 work points for each one. I've earned more than 800 work points in the past few months!"

Hearing this, Li Yi became even more sad.

He knew the work points in the village. One work point cost about three cents, so these 800 work points only cost 24 yuan.

But for the puppy, this is already a huge sum of money.

Thinking of this, Li Yi took out an envelope from his trouser pocket and handed it to him.

The puppy boy looked at Li Yi, but did not answer. Instead, he said, "Brother Yi, what are you doing?"

"Give me your salary!"

"What salary!"

"Didn't I ask you to help me take care of the sheep and cattle, and also help me take care of my parents? This is the salary I will give you!" Li Yi said.

"I don't want it. This is what I should do. How can I ask for your money?"

"The agreed upon thing"

Before Li Yi could finish speaking, Xiao Xiaowa interrupted him: "Brother Yi, I know you want to help us, but you really don't need it!"

"Although we are a bit miserable now, at least we have a house to live in and food to eat. The uncles and uncles in the village also take good care of us, so we can still live a good life!"

Seeing the stubborn look on this kid's face, Li Yi couldn't help but glare at him and said, "I'm not a big man, but I have a lot of ideas. I say that the salary given to you is just a salary. I don't pity you!"

"Brother Yi."

"Stop talking nonsense, take the money, I have something else to tell you!"

Seeing that Li Yi was resolute and said he had something to tell him, Xiao Xiaowa finally took the envelope.

"There are 500 yuan here. Use this money to repair the house first. Don't let the roof collapse in the winter, which will kill people!"

"it is good!"

"Buy some more clothes for Er Gouzi, Daya, and Erya, especially thick clothes for winter. This is a must!"

Then Li Yi continued: "When school starts in a few days, send them all to school. From now on, as long as their grades are good and they can study, we will continue to support them!" "Okay!" Brother Yi, actually I went to the school to ask about this a few days ago, and they agreed to take them in!" Xiao Xiaowa said.

"That's good!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Little Dog, I want to invest in building a large-scale breeding farm in the village. The investment scale is almost 10 yuan."

"The breeding farm is jointly run with the village. I provide the money, and the village provides the manpower and feed. I plan to make you the deputy director of this breeding farm!"

"Me, the deputy director?"

"Yes, Uncle Feng should be the farm director. You and Gangzi are both deputy directors. One is responsible for managing the sheep farm and the other is responsible for managing the cattle farm!" Li Yi said.

"Can we do this?"

"Why not? When the time comes, I will invite two professionals from the capital to come back and teach you how to do it. You won't be able to do it after a few years of study!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yi!"

"Well, while you have time in the past few days, you and Gangzi will contact the brickyard and stone factory from tomorrow, and then start pulling bricks and stones. Let's try to build this breeding farm before winter comes!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, I will discuss it with Gangzi and Uncle Feng tomorrow!"

"Row"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and then Li Yi took Zhang Ziqiang and left the puppy's house.

On the way back, Zhang Ziqiang suddenly asked: "Are you really planning to spend 10 yuan to build a breeding farm here?"

Li Yi looked at this "tough bandit" comrade, and then asked: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"I think you are already so rich, and you can win tens or even millions just by blinking your eyes over there. You shouldn't look down on such a small amount of money, right?" Zhang Ziqiang said.

"Theoretically, there is no need for me to waste my time for this small amount of money, but are you here?"

Without waiting for Zhang Ziqiang's answer, Li Yi said again: "This is Nianzishan Village, my hometown. Everyone here is a fellow villager who watched me grow up. What a small amount of money I don't like is worth it to them." , It may be the food expenses to ensure that the family can eat and drink for a whole year, it may be the medical expenses to go to the county hospital for medical treatment when you are sick, it may also be the money to send your children to school, give your sons a wife, and give your daughter a dowry.”

"So you invested in this farm for the people here?"

"You can say that, but not entirely!" Li Yi said truthfully.

Although the matter of building a breeding farm was just brought up, Li Yi has actually been thinking about it for a long time.

After all, his main business in China is catering, and the catering is mainly barbecued shabu-shabu, and he relies a lot on beef and mutton.

Although the price of beef and mutton in various places is now uniform, it is also within his acceptable range.

But Li Yi is very clear that with the implementation of the household responsibility system, price liberalization is imperative.

Although the country really liberalized grain and oil prices in 1993, starting from 84 to 85, the prices of most products began to be impacted by the market and fluctuated greatly.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to establish your own beef and mutton supply chain.

It just so happens that they are located at the intersection of agricultural and pastoral areas. They have unique conditions for building a breeding base. It can also promote the economic development of their hometown and help the people in the village get rid of poverty and become rich. It is a multi-purpose thing!
In response to Li Yi's words, Zhang Ziqiang was silent as always.

He believed in his own judgment. Li Yi invested in this farm for the sake of the people in the village.

After all, Zhang Ziqiang knew that the young man in front of him, who was a few years younger than him, had a brilliant record there. How could a person like him value the little money he could make from raising cattle and sheep?

Thinking of this, he knew how to report Li Yi's movements and evaluation of him to his superiors after he returned.

At the same time, Li Yi's image couldn't help but become taller and majestic in his heart.

However, what Zhang Ziqiang didn't know was that Yang Qian, who was far away in Hong Kong Island, was worried about the same thing.
