Chapter 1130: Breeding is booming
Spring ploughing has not yet begun, but the Red Star Production Team has already been busy with poultry farming.
Before the autumn harvest began last year, the brigade cadres, who had already planned to expand the scale of breeding again this year, had already organized villagers to expand several poultry farms of the production team.
After the autumn harvest, they worked overtime to complete the finishing work of poultry farm breeding.
When the team leader was in Kaihua, he wrote a report on the Red Star Production Team's development of the breeding industry and submitted it to the commune.
After learning that the major breeding farms of the Red Star Production Team had already started operations, the team leaders of the various production teams under the Qianjin Commune, led by Secretary Yan of the commune, came to the Red Star Production Team one day in mid-April to visit the breeding farms of the Red Star Production Team.
After visiting several large breeding farms, although there are only a few pigs left for breeding last year, the rest are young pigs, but there are indeed a lot of them. The leader of the Liushugou Production Team, who has a good relationship with the Red Star Production Team, whispered to the leader,
"Lao Zhang, aren't you taking a big step by setting up so many breeding farms at once?
Shouldn't we just do one or two, on a smaller scale, to test the waters?
If something goes wrong, like if you get sick with the plague, you’ll lose everything you’ve invested.”
In recent years, the Red Star Production Team's business of selling vegetables after the autumn harvest has been in full swing.
They monopolized all the surplus vegetables from the surrounding production teams and even some production teams in other communes, and many people were jealous of them.
After all, no one is rich these days.
People are not worried about scarcity but inequality.
It's okay if we're all poor, but why do you have to be richer than me?
After hearing the whispers between Captain Liushugou and Captain Zhang, someone immediately said,
"What's there to be afraid of if you make a loss? Do you think the Red Star Production Brigade is as poor as your Liushugou?
The Red Star Production Brigade under the leadership of Team Leader Zhang is very rich and is not afraid of losing money."
“Yes, Captain Zhang is very courageous. He built so many breeding farms at once.
Not to mention other things, just building this venue and raising so many poultry chicks are both considerable expenses.
Captain Zhang, could it be that the villagers of the Red Star Production Team didn't get any money last year and are throwing all their money into this?
If you end up with nothing, you will be skinned alive by the villagers."
Although the team leader told Secretary Yan about the feed for poultry and the prescription for treating poultry plague.
But he also told Secretary Yan that these two things had not yet been tested on a large scale and their effectiveness was still uncertain, so he asked Secretary Yan to help keep it secret for the time being.
After seeing the results of the Red Star Production Team's breeding, and using data to speak for themselves, others will be convinced.
Although Secretary Yan knew that Captain Zhang dared to report it, it must have been verified, but he estimated that the number of times was not large. After all, he had not heard of the Red Star Team engaging in breeding in the past two years.
He was also worried that if he rashly told others about something that had not been verified, people might not believe it and cause trouble.
He might as well do as the captain wished and conceal it for him temporarily.
After hearing a lot of sour words and being ridiculed, the team leader saw Secretary Yan and his party off after hearing from Secretary Yan that the commune would fully support their breeding and allow them to buy food for raising poultry from other production teams.
With the full support of the commune, the breeding industry of the Red Star Production Team developed at full speed.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao are busier than before.
After all, the breeding industry has expanded more than three times compared to last year, so they have to quickly develop new sales channels.
Following the two people's suggestions, the production team discussed and decided with all the villagers to make a phone call at the brigade headquarters.
After all, it is more convenient to contact various institutions and factories in the town and negotiate business through the phone.
Installing a telephone at this time is not a small expense.
In order to support the breeding industry of the Red Star Production Team, the commune generously subsidized a part of the funds.
This greatly facilitated Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
Especially Liu Jingxue. Now, whenever the phone from the brigade rings, four out of ten times, it’s her that is called.
If she wasn't so good at work, the team leader would have joked that he would assign her the job of the production team's telephone operator.
Yes, since the telephone was installed, the production team had a job that required sitting in the office and not having to work in the fields. That job was to be a telephone operator, who was specifically responsible for answering the phone.
This job is not fixed and will be given priority to pregnant women in the production team who are in their advanced stages of pregnancy.
After receiving a call, it is very convenient to notify people through broadcasting to answer the phone.
Since getting this phone, Liu Jingxue has written fewer letters, but her monthly phone bills have increased.
At this time, it costs money to answer the phone, and it is even more expensive to make a phone call.
Fortunately, Liu Jingxue was not short of money and could still afford the phone bill of several dollars every month.
Ever since he learned that the Red Star Production Team was engaging in breeding, Secretary Yan would lead the commune cadres to inspect the team once a month without fail.
At other times, even if he didn't come, he would ask someone to come and take a look.
As for the team leaders of other production teams, Liushugou, which had a good relationship with the Red Star Production Team, and another production team, which reached a cooperation with the Red Star Production Team during the epidemic last year, they also came to visit once a month at the beginning.
Later, I saw that the poultry were growing well and much better than those at home, so I came to check on them every week.
The captain had long ago instructed the villagers working in the farm to keep the information about poultry feed and daily methods of preventing and controlling epidemics secret from other people.
Therefore, even if they come more often, they have not discovered the secret of breeding of the Red Star Production Team so far.
In June, the chicken farm started selling eggs.
The production team currently raises 6000 chickens, with more hens than roosters. The chicken farm now produces about 4000 eggs a day.
When the first batch of eggs were sold this year, the team leader specifically notified Secretary Yan in advance and asked the leader to come and inspect the work.
When Secretary Yan came over, he specially brought the team leaders of other production teams with him.
After seeing that the Red Star Production Team sold 20,000 eggs at one time and settled the payment in cash, some team leaders almost got jealous and became jealous.
The captain noticed their expressions and organized a meeting of the villagers that day. He arranged for militia members and villagers to patrol the farms day and night to prevent anyone from causing damage.
In July, duck farms and goose farms also began to lay eggs, and rabbit farms also began to sell live rabbits.
The only tractor of the Red Star Production Team is now running around every day delivering goods to various units and factories in the town.
In order to facilitate delivery and settlement, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao went to the town’s agricultural machinery station to study for a few days and took a tractor driver’s license.
Now that I have the license, I don’t have to bother four other tractor drivers, and I can provide one-stop service from delivering goods to settling bills myself.
Others can go back to work with peace of mind.
The production team is really short of people now. Many people have been working in the farms of the production team for a long time and cannot work in the fields.
Someone had to patrol constantly to prevent anyone from sneaking in and causing damage. The production team was really short of manpower.
The cadres would love to be able to do multiple things at the same time.
Some people may ask, there were not three people before, but four people were sent to study and take the exam, and one failed.
What they lack is only the theory. It has been several years, and they are still not allowed to re-learn, make up for the shortcomings, pass the exam, and successfully obtain the certificate.
