Chapter 121

Listening to Master Yingqi's tone, it seemed that there was nothing unhappy. Wei Jingze felt relieved and said, "Are you busy over there? When are you going to come back?"

Master Yingqi laughed suddenly and said, "I thought you all wished that I would not go back."

After all, Master Yingqi's speech is not very nice!

Wei Jingze said sincerely: "Of course I hope you come back soon, everyone misses your craftsmanship!"

It is a waste to have good dishes without good cooks.

Master Yingqi said: "That line, I guess it will be a few days away."

Master Yingqi is coming back, which is definitely good news for everyone, but not necessarily for Chen Han. Thinking that Master Yingqi is coming back, Chen Han's whole body is tense.

Although Wei Jingze also sympathized with Chen Han, he didn't have much time to understand Chen Han's mood, and the matter of raising cattle still had to be taken care of.

The cattle raising plan written by Wei Jingze has finally been approved by Jiang Yanzong, and preparations for raising cattle are about to begin.

In addition to pasture, cattle can also eat a lot of food, such as corn stalks, distiller's grains, bean dregs, corn, soybean meal, and sweet potatoes.

So Wei Jingze decided to buy more than ten or twenty calves first, and spend this winter first. In the next spring, he can take the cows to graze everywhere. In the coming year, he will also have time to grow ryegrass for the cows and make fodder for the cows. .

Relatively speaking, the disadvantage of cattle is that it takes longer to be slaughtered, and the cycle of capital return is longer. People without a certain family background are not suitable for raising cattle.

To raise cattle, you must first build a cowshed. The cowshed is much more spacious than the pigsty and chicken coop, and covers a wider area. The volume of cattle is larger than that of pigs and chickens.

Although we only raised about ten or so cows when we were preparing to start, considering the expansion of the breeding scale in the future, the area of ​​this cowshed must not be small.

Wei Jingze thought, the scale of raising cattle in the future will be at least a few hundred head?The cowshed must not be planned too small. When starting out, a smaller cowshed can be built first, but the planned space must be enough.

The cowshed should also be located close to the water. The cows often need to drink water, and the cowshed should be cleaned frequently. Keeping it clean is an important means to prevent plague and infectious diseases. Only the health of the cows can guarantee profits.The same is true for raising pigs and chickens, so Yang Tianjian has to clean the pigsty every day, and Liang Cong has to clean the cowshed every day.

The bricks for the cowshed can be used from the demolition of old houses. Although the bricks are a bit old, they are quite strong and can still be used, but the quantity is not enough, and some new ones need to be bought.

Wei Jingze has often bought building materials in the past two years, and he has become familiar with people who do this business. When buying materials, it is not easy to buy fake products, and he can get good prices. Everyone hopes The next time Wei Jingze buys something, he will still consider buying from his own house. I hope he can help introduce the business.

Wei Jingze did help introduce a few businesses.

In addition to the building materials for the cowshed, the materials for the surrounding mountains have to be purchased and ready to start construction. After the fruit trees are planted on the mountain, many people will definitely patronize them. In order to ensure efficiency, it is necessary to prevent theft.

Wei Jingze plans to make a fence like a railway fence. Jiang Yanzong suggested planting some thorny plants beside the fence. No matter what it is, thorny plants are good anyway. At least people can't jump over the fence directly, or cut a hole in the fence Get in.

Wei Jingze thinks this method is good, planting thorny cash crops on the side of the fence can also gain some benefits!

Jiang Yanzong was burying his head in calculating the budget. The cowshed and the fence of the orchard were indeed a considerable investment.

Although the old man kept telling Wei Jingze not to spend Jiang Yanzong's money, but now that the two of them are in such a state, it's hard to distinguish yours from mine, and it's hard to tell who spent whose money, and the old man can only keep one eye open. Eyes are closed, as long as Wei Jingze doesn't eat soft food.

Wei Jingze has been thinking about this matter in his heart. Dafeng came in from the outside and lay down on the ground without saying a word. Wei Jingze stretched out his hand to touch Dafeng. Dafeng has been working hard recently. He follows the duck and looks at the little duck every day. Don't get lost or get lost.These days, the little ducks have gradually adapted to the outdoor environment. Following the big ducks, they learned to catch fish and eat snails, and to distinguish which grasses in the fields can be eaten and which ones cannot. During this process, the little ducks Inevitably a few were damaged, Wei Jingze didn't blame Dafeng, Dafeng had already done his duty very well, compared to others, Wei Jingze was really lucky.

Dafeng is so capable and loyal, Wei Jingze couldn't help thinking about it, and said to Jiang Yanzong: "How about we buy some dogs to raise and look at the orchard? Such a big mountain, we can't walk around every day. If there are dogs Helping to watch, can also save a lot of worry."

Jiang Yanzong glanced at Dafeng, and said: "It is indeed possible, but you have to choose a good dog. You can't do it badly. You need the kind of dog that dares to go up and bite when it sees others stealing fruit."

Nowadays, many dogs don’t have that kind of momentum and courage. When they see people, they hide behind their tails. If they see people making threatening actions, they will run away with their tails in fright. This kind of dog, let alone look at it Orchards are not allowed to guard the house, so Jiang Yanzong doesn't want that kind of dog.

Wei Jingze felt that what Jiang Yanzong said made sense. If a thief really came to the door, it should be a dog's instinct to bite. Wei Jingze can lose money if he bites someone, but it must form a deterrent effect and let others know. The fruit in the orchard is delicious, but the dog is fierce and cannot be messed with.

"Then let's start looking for a suitable dog now." Wei Jingze said.

Jiang Yanzong turned his head and continued to work on himself, and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you."

Time was running out. After Wei Jingze took the order from Jiang Yanzong, he hurried to purchase construction materials and found an engineering team. At the end of October and the beginning of November, it was the time of harvesting rice, and Wei Jingze had to worry about the things in the fields.

After spending a few days getting things done in the cowshed, Wei Jingze went to the grain station to borrow a harvester to harvest his own rice.

Although the autumn harvest is not like the summer harvest, the whole village has borrowed harvesters, but it is obviously more than last year's autumn harvest. As the money in hand increases, everyone's ideas are also changing!Once you have money, you don't care about the one or two money, and you would rather spend some money to save yourself effort and worry.

This time, there is no need to ask too much, everyone knows that Jiang Yanzong will definitely collect everyone's millet. Every household only needs to collect their own millet, dry it, and sell it to Jiang Yanzong.

After this rule is established, everyone will not have many questions.

After the autumn harvest, Wei Jingze also had a lot of things to do. First of all, he needed to do the harvesting of the millet himself. Otherwise, don't worry. Those who come to Jiang Yanzong to buy millet are not simple people. They sell them things of poor quality. It's self-destructive.The project of repairing ditches in the village also requires a lot of dedication from Wei Jingze, the deputy village head. The village head is old, and it’s okay to think of an idea and send a message. Let him run around and urge everyone to work. It was a bit difficult, and Wei Jingze was embarrassed to be tired of his old man, so it was mostly Wei Jingze who was busy with matters such as confirming opinions with each household and calculating the amount.

It is time for the ditches in the village to be repaired, and everyone agrees that the ditches should be made of cement, which can save a lot of time and effort.Moreover, most people in the village choose to contribute money instead of labor. Instead of digging ditches to save a few dollars, it is better to work in their own fields, grow more vegetables, dig a little more land, and earn more. Some.

Taking a look at the public opinion statistics, Wei Jingze discussed with the village chief: "I think it's still necessary to hire people from outside to do it. People in our village don't seem to be very willing to do it."

The village chief also noticed that his sons all chose to contribute money and not work hard. In the past, the village chief could still scold him for being lazy. Now that he has money, he can spend it as he likes, and the village chief can't control that too much.

"Then let's hire someone from outside to do it. It's too early to finish this job. When everyone's autumn harvest is over, there should be many people who are willing to work."

After the autumn harvest, there will be a long period of slack for farming. Hardworking people are doing small jobs outside to make money, so there is no need to worry about finding manpower.

In terms of money, out of the money paid by each household, the village must also pay part of it, otherwise the ditch would not be able to be repaired.

Even if the village got a lot of money because of Baoshan, the village head saw the money dwindling, and he was heartbroken: "I really need to spend money everywhere, and there is no place for money. Alas... it will be a waste of time to spend it all in the future." How did you get it?"

There are quite a lot of collective sources of income in the big villages. Needless to say, there are fish ponds and the like. The bus they operate must also have to pay, and there are various collective land leases. Chashui Village is a Small villages do not have so many resources, so their economic resources are also very limited.

Wei Jingze couldn't think of a good way to collectively make money for a while, so he could only comfort the village chief and said: "In the future, everyone will have money, and they will definitely be willing to pay for the affairs of the village. You don't have to worry too much about this."

The village head said: "I hope!"

Since everyone is not willing to go out to work, they recruit people from outside to work, mainly from nearby villages. The wages are calculated on a daily basis, and food is not included, so they can be paid higher.

After the news was released, many people came to inquire about digging ditches. All villages have to do it, and ordinary people can do it, so there are quite a few people who want to make money.

Wei Jingze's family also had many relatives who came to ask questions, and the old man answered for Wei Jingze. Wei Jingze's family also had a few relatives who came to work. Wei Jingze's family entertained them with one meal a day, and it was almost enough to live there. up.

With the face of an old man, his relatives can't say that Wei Jingze is not authentic. His house is still under construction, and it is really not enough to live in now, it's not that he doesn't want people to live in it.

It was finally full of people and started to work. The village head and Wei Jingze had to go around frequently to prevent those people from being lazy and not working honestly.

In autumn, the canals are dry, and there is basically no water, so it is more suitable for work.
