The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Dad, look, Grandpa Chao said those two sika deer are twin brothers." Mengmeng said proudly.

It seemed like she was the only one who knew this secret and couldn't wait to share it with her father.

"Which two ends?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Mengmeng pointed inside and shouted: "That's it, the one with the red string on his head."

Only then did Cao Shujie notice that there were two small sika deers with red ropes tied around their necks.

Cao Shuchao said from the side: "They are twins. I asked someone about it. This situation is very rare. To distinguish them from other sika deer, I tied a red string on them."

Without this red rope distinction, Cao Shujie really couldn't tell the difference between the two of them and other sika deers?

The weather in July is a bit hot, but it still can't stop these 16 young sika deer from running back and forth in the breeding farm, looking very active.

Because of the arrival of these 16 new lives, Cao Shujie's orchard attracted more children to come and watch.

Indirectly attract customers and increase orchard sales.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen children standing outside the barbed wire guardrail, and people kept coming here.

"Dad, look, isn't it beautiful?" Mengmeng asked, pointing to the sika deer in the deer park.

Cao Shujie nodded, the little sika deer is indeed very beautiful.

They are covered with petals-like white, shining in the sun like little stars.

The colors are intertwined to form colorful patterns, which are fascinating to watch.

In addition, Cao Shujie’s breeding farm covers an area of ​​nearly 30 acres, which is large enough to give these young sika deers space to chase each other and play.

Coupled with the surrounding fruit trees and flowers, it feels like a paradise.

Cao Shujie and Mengmeng watched outside for a while, and then they crossed the deer park and continued walking north.

At this time, the cattle farmer bought another 600 calves at the end of May, with a total cost of 4,000 yuan per head, costing Cao Shujie a total of 2.4 million yuan.

The cost of pure calves is now getting higher and higher.

Cao Shujie buys and breeds cows himself, but it has not yet reached a large scale, so he can only buy in large quantities from the market.

But there is a little benefit. After the 10 cows purchased by Cao Shujie gave birth to calves, they received subsidies at the rate of 2,500 yuan per cow in accordance with relevant regulations.

Cao Shujie is already thinking about continuing to buy cows and increase his own breeding.

When Cao Shuchao saw the cow, he told Cao Shujie something.

"Shujie, Uncle Jianjun also asked me to tell you that the 1,018 cows at the southern farm will meet the standards for slaughter in three months. He wants to ask if calves should be ordered in advance this year?" Cao Shuchao said.

This is indeed a problem.

If he waits to sell the cattle that meet the standards for slaughter before considering buying calves, the first one he buys will be relatively large, and the farms that specialize in breeding calves will not have such a large volume.

Another thing, this time the cattle are being sold, not only Cao Shujie’s 1,018 cattle are to be sold, but Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative, a joint venture between Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong villages, also has 1,382 cattle to be sold.

In the same way, after selling the cattle over there, you have to buy calves again.

When they make money, I believe that the villagers who raise cattle in Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong villages will buy more calves.

This gap is far more than the more than a thousand heads that I need to buy.

"We really need to contact Boss Cui and Boss Feng in advance to let them prepare in advance." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Shuchao nodded, thinking this would be better.

Unlike before, there would be a lag of 1 to 2 months after they sold each batch of cattle that met the standards before buying calves.

There is no perfect connection at all, and this time gap causes a waste of feeding efficiency.

It doesn't matter once, but if you do it for a long time, you will lose a lot of benefits.

"Brother Chao, do you know how much the current price of calves is?" Cao Shujie asked him.

The 600 calves purchased from the farm next to him were bought two months ago, and the price is no longer accurate.

Cao Shujie himself knows very well that every two or three months now, the price of calves on the market will rise to varying degrees.

I heard that the price of some local breeds of relatively good calves has exceeded 5,000 yuan per head. As the profits from cattle raising become more and more transparent, there is a crazy state in the market.

Cao Shujie could only lament that those people were indeed crazy.

"I need to add another one or two hundred yuan." Cao Shuchao said.

In this case, it means that they will float about 200 yuan on the basis of 4,000 yuan. Compared with the scale of their breeding, the breeding cost has increased a lot.

"I'll contact Boss Cui and Boss Feng first. We have such a large quantity and see if they can price it at 4,000 yuan." Cao Shujie said.

Just as he said, Cao Shujie took out his mobile phone and called Cui Jingguo and Feng Tao respectively.

Hearing Cao Shujie ask them to prepare at least 1,200 calves each, and up to 1,500 calves if conditions permit, Cui Jingguo and Feng Tao were already accustomed to Cao Shujie's huge appetite.

Because the quantity is relatively large, the price increase for Cui Jingguo and Feng Tao is not much, only 100 yuan.

When Cao Shujie discussed the price issue with them, he smiled and asked why the price couldn't be 4,000 yuan.

But both of them complained to him that the price of calves on the market now is a bit exaggerated to say that the price varies every few days, and the price has definitely risen in two months.

Moreover, Cao Shujie purchased nearly 3,000 calves at one time. Both of them admitted that their farms did not have such a large scale at all, and they also needed to purchase calves from other places.

They also come at a high cost.

These are all things to consider.

Finally, the price was set at 4,100 yuan per head, and the two of them were asked to prepare 1,500 heads each.

Cao Shujie thought that this amount might not be enough to satisfy the appetite of ordinary people who made money by raising cattle.

In addition to the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative in their three villages, Caojiazhuang also has branches in several surrounding villages.

Cao Shujie also had to consider their purchase of calves.

As a result, the final number of calves needed may be higher.

"Brother Chao, we have initially formed two characteristic agricultural production chains of orchards and breeding." Cao Shujie said to Cao Shuchao with a smile.

"The main thing is that Shu Jie leads everyone to make a fortune together. Without you, it would be in vain." Cao Shuchao is relatively sober.

He knew very well that the changes brought about in front of him had a lot to do with Cao Shujie.

If Cao Shujie had not led everyone to plant kiwi fruit orchards, raise cattle, and grow pasture, more than three years later, the people would still be the same as before, and there would not be much change.

Cao Shujie didn't care very much. He waved his hand and said, "It's also the result of your own efforts."

Cao Shuchao didn't answer.

He understands very well that if you can make money through hard work, then there shouldn't be so many poor people in the world.

At least he worked very hard before, but he still didn't save any money.

Cao Jianlong, the party secretary of Caojiazhuang Village, also received the news that Cao Shujie was at home and did not go out.

He quickly called Cao Shujie and asked him if he had time, so that they could sit together.

Ever since Cao Shujie started working in the town's factory, there has been less and less work taking care of Caojiazhuang.

But no one in Caojiazhuang wants to take off Cao Shujie's hat as village director. They also understand that Cao Shujie is the village director and will want to lead everyone to development.

It doesn't matter if you can't stick to your post.

Sheep-herding management is also possible.

This is a privilege given to those who are able.

Cao Shujie took his daughter to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee compound. When he saw Cao Jianlong, Cao Shujie suddenly discovered that he had more white hair on his head.

Cao Jianlong is only in his 50s, which is relatively young.

But his appearance looks much older than his actual age.

"Shujie, you're finally back." Cao Jianlong complained when he saw him.

The resentful eyes made Cao Shujie dare not look directly at him.

"Mengmeng, call me grandpa." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng was very obedient: "Hello, grandpa."

"Hey!" Cao Jianlong responded.

Cao Shujie said: "Uncle Long, aren't you here? You are the Dinghai Shenzhen of our Caojiazhuang. I'm sure I can rest assured."

Cao Jianlong didn't want to answer the conversation.

But I still have to say: "There are three more students in our village who have passed the bachelor's degree this year. When you are free, let's hold an award ceremony together."

Cao Jianlong has been strictly implementing the benefits that Cao Shujie originally proposed for students, the elderly in the village, and veterans, and has not been stingy in this regard.

The effect of this is that the people of Caojiazhuang have a very high degree of recognition for the leadership team of their village committee and committee.

This result also made Cao Jianlong very happy.

Besides, now that the breeding cooperative is beginning to take shape, it will soon be time to collect management fees and dividends.

It’s time to pay again at the stall below Cao Shujie’s orchard.

Cao Jianlong has settled this account.

The stall rental fee remains unchanged at more than 1 million, but the management dividend of the breeding cooperative is not a small amount.

Taking the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative’s more than 1,300 cattle in their three villages, the budgeted sales of cattle alone are more than 25 million. After deducting all breeding expenses and labor costs, the remaining profit is about 7 million. They You can get 5% profit dividend, which is more than 300,000 yuan.

This is only for the three villages of Caojiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang in Taodong Village.

In addition, several other companies named Caojiazhuang Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative can also share profits.

In addition, there are also dividends from the agricultural cooperative that grows the orchards. All in all, the annual income is higher than the rental fees for the 60 stalls.

As a result, the Caojiazhuang Village Committee has an annual income of nearly 3 million yuan, and has become more active in distributing welfare in the village.

"Uncle Long, just let me know when you set a date." Cao Shujie said.

He also took the initiative to say another thing: "The village committee has done more and more business in the past two years. In the final analysis, it is all about collecting people's money. Let's not be picky about the holidays this year. We will increase the benefits for August 15th and the Spring Festival." Set standards and get some affordable things for the people in the village."

"The distribution to the elderly and veterans will also increase a little."

"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words." Cao Jianlong said.

He stretched out five fingers: "How about 500 yuan per family?"

"For the elderly and veterans, the amount will be increased to 1,000 yuan."

"Okay, I think it's okay, but let's not buy those fancy things, just buy something practical, or pay directly." Cao Shujie specifically told him.

For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, buying a box of mooncakes costing more than 100 yuan, or even more expensive mooncakes, is of no use.

For ordinary people, it is better to buy moon cakes that cost 10 yuan per catty. It is more useful to distribute 10 catties of mooncakes to each family.
