When Qian Shulan returned to the county town, she was in a dilemma because she had two bicycles. She had no choice but to ride her old bicycle to the department store and ask Fang Yonglin to bring it back for her when he went to the countryside.
She rode her new bicycle back to Wangjia Village.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Sun Daqin and Xiao Min standing under a big tree, looking eagerly at them.
"Mom, you're finally back." Thousands of dollars, her little heart couldn't bear it.
Qian Shulan looked at her panda eyes and knew without asking that she hadn't slept all night. She was a little speechless, "What's the big deal? You've become so timid."
Sun Daqin knew that she was a loser, but she had so much money. Her family had only saved a few thousand yuan in ten years.
If her money was stolen or robbed, she would have to use her own money to pay for it.
How could this not scare her.
It seems that being an accountant also involves great risks.
Seeing her mother-in-law come back, she finally felt relieved and wanted to take her mother-in-law home to get the money.
But looking at the brand new bicycle, Sun Daqin was stunned. After thinking about it for a while, she slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my god, your old bicycle was stolen?"
Otherwise, how could I go out riding an old one and come back riding a new one
This was a reasonable idea. Qian Shulan waved her hand and said, "No, this is what Zhengguo bought for me. I'll ask Yonglin to bring the old bicycle back to me tomorrow."
"Zhengguo bought it?" Sun Daqin felt jealous.
Zhengguo has never bought anything for his mother.
But when she thought about how Zhengguo's closest person was his mother-in-law, she soon felt relieved, but still felt a little uncomfortable, "My mother's life is better than mine. I gave birth to three sons, but none of them bought me a baby."
He was jealous but still didn't forget to flatter. He really had Sun Daqin's style.
Qian Shulan carried Xiaomin, who had been holding her hand, to the back seat of the bicycle, turned to look at Sun Daqin, and comforted her, "You can't say that. You are still more blessed than me. I gave birth to five sons, but no one bought one for me. It was only when I got old that I thought about the blessing of having grandchildren."
When Sun Daqin heard her mother-in-law say this, she was happy at first, but then she felt something was wrong. Among her five sons, one of them had her man.
Is the mother-in-law dissatisfied with her husband
While Sun Daqin was daydreaming, Qian Shulan had already ridden away with Xiao Min.
She had no time to think about anything else and immediately ran after him, shouting, "Mom, I want to give you the money collected from the chicken farm."
Qian Shulan replied without even turning her head, "You're the accountant, take it."
She still has to go to the Canton Fair, which will take a month. If Sun Daqin doesn't get used to it soon, will she have to stay awake all month? Even an iron man can't stand it.
Sun Daqin was dumbfounded. Her mother-in-law meant that she would keep all the money from now on.
Thinking about the few thousand yuan a day and nearly one hundred thousand yuan a month, Sun Daqin felt that the amount of money was so much that it almost made her unable to straighten her back.
After Qian Shulan came back, she applied to the team for permission to raise more pigs.
If you want the braised eggs to taste good, the most important thing is to use broth to braise them.
The broth is made from pork bones and chicken racks simmered over low heat.
So we must raise more pigs this year, at least three times as much as before.
This matter was too important and neither Wang Shouquan nor Qian Minghua could make a decision, so a meeting was held to discuss it.
Wang Shouquan was a little worried. "Raising more pigs is a good idea, but will the pigs get swine fever?"
The medicine Qian Shulan fed to the chickens was dissolved in water. One pill could feed at least three chickens. But if it was used for pigs, it would not work. At least ten pills were needed to feed one pig.
Moreover, pigs require more grass and food, which is much more expensive than raising chickens. For these two reasons, she blindly expanded the chicken farm but not the pig farm.
But that’s no longer possible. If we want to sell braised eggs well, we have to expand the pig farm.
Qian Minghua agreed. "I think it's OK. We have so many chickens and none of them have chicken plague. It doesn't make sense that pigs would have it. Pigs should have stronger resistance than chickens."
Wang Shouquan thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.
Qian Minghua thought for a moment and said, "At worst, we can use the water from the ancient well when we feed the pigs."
Wang Shouquan then asked the most crucial question, "What about the food? Our production team doesn't have that much food."
Chickens can eat earthworms, but pigs can't. After all, pigs have limited grass, so they still have to eat grain.
Everyone looked at Qian Shulan, after all, it was she who came up with the ideas before.
Qian Shulan did not agree this time, "You all know that there are new policies from above, and my opportunities are cut off."
Since January, the authorities have launched the "Strike One, Oppose Three" campaign to combat counter-revolutionary sabotage, oppose corruption and theft, oppose speculation and profiteering, and oppose extravagance and waste.
The back walls of the houses in Wangjia Village were covered with white paint by people sent from above, and slogans such as "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill our way into a red world" could be seen everywhere.
At this time, even if you are very brave, you will not engage in speculation.
Everyone was a little disappointed, but they also knew that what she said made sense.
Wang Shouquan was a little confused, "What should I do?"
Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "We can plant more sweet potatoes and radishes this year."
Pigs also like to eat the seedlings of these two things, which can save some food. But it is still a drop in the bucket. After all, pigs that only eat grass cannot grow fat, and they still eat grains to produce more meat.
Qian Minghua suggested, "Why don't we ask the commune leaders to come up with a solution? Can we use the surplus grain to raise pigs instead of selling it to the grain station? We have enough pigs and chickens."
Every year, they have to sell their surplus grain to the grain station, where it is clearly stipulated that the amount of food rations allocated to each household must not exceed 480 kilograms.
Maybe you will find it strange, didn’t you say 360 pounds before
This is because most people don’t just eat fine grains, but a combination of coarse and fine grains.
360 catties is fine grain, 480 catties is a combination of coarse and fine grains. The two are not contradictory.
So the two of them went to the commune to apply, and President Zhou naturally wanted them to raise more pigs.
Their production team only raised more than 360 pigs last year. After handing in the target pigs, they kept the remaining dozens for themselves.
He had previously tried to get them to raise more pigs, but they had always said there was not enough food.
Now they actually took the initiative to say that they wanted to raise more pigs, and he agreed without thinking.
When President Zhou heard that the surplus grain was to be withheld to feed the pigs, he naturally agreed. But after all, he had a director of the Revolutionary Committee above him, so his agreement alone was useless. Director Ma had to nod.
He asked the two of them to go to Director Ma to get a note.
After hearing the purpose of the two people's visit, Director Ma pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have enough food?"
Qian Minghua thought for a long time and said, "It should be enough."
Director Ma held his chin up and said, "Okay, I'll write you a note, and then you can use the surplus grain to raise pigs."
The two of them held the note and kept expressing their gratitude.
Director Ma looked up and interrupted the two of them, smiling and asking, "Has Aunt Qian returned from the county town?"
Wang Shouquan nodded, "I'm back."
Director Ma hummed and asked, "Did she say when the electricity would be turned on?"
Wang Shouquan hadn't had time to ask about this, but Qian Minghua knew about it. "My aunt said it will be in a few days. County Magistrate Jiang has already agreed."
Director Ma was satisfied and said, "Okay, okay!"
When the two were about to turn into the small road of Wangjia Village on their bicycles, they happened to see a team of electricians riding bicycles to the countryside.
Those people were still lost. When the leader saw someone coming, he immediately asked for directions, "Excuse me, how do I get to Wangjia Village?"
Wang Shouquan and Qian Minghua looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. "We are from Wangjia Village."
So the two of them took these people to Wangjia Village.
They arranged accommodation for them and provided them with delicious meals.
Many adults and children from the production team came to watch.
They had heard the brigade cadres discuss such a big thing as providing electricity, but it was too difficult to do.
Later I heard that it was Aunt Qian who came up with the idea, and I was full of admiration.
Then she thought about how her relative was County Magistrate Jiang, and he more or less understood that she had gone to the county town the day before yesterday to ask for help.
When everyone saw Qian Shulan, they all showed gratitude on their faces.
The Wangjia Village production team had a large population, so when Qian Shulan and several villagers returned from Guangzhou after attending the Canton Fair, the electricity had still not been installed.
Their trip to the Canton Fair was very uneventful.
Because of the limited rattan baskets, they didn't have a lot, so they sold out pretty quickly.
Braised eggs and dried eggs are also very popular with Li Shirong, and he is also optimistic about these two items.
We ordered 500,000 boiled eggs and 10,000 kilograms of dried eggs.
Maybe because it was the first time, he was not sure about the market reaction, so the amount he ordered was not very high.
But this result still satisfied the villagers who came along.
The price of braised eggs is 1.9 cents each, and the price of dried eggs is 4.5 yuan per pound.
The cost of boiled eggs is about six cents each.
The cost of dried eggs is about one dollar and fifty cents per pound.
That’s almost three times the profit, what a huge profit.
If we wait until autumn to deliver the goods, the profit of 500,000 braised eggs will be 65,000 yuan.
Ten thousand kilograms of dried eggs means a profit of thirty thousand yuan, which adds up to ninety-five thousand yuan.
Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep.
After getting the vacuum packaging machine worth 7,600 yuan, no one felt it was a waste of money. Instead, they felt that this thing was as precious as Shen Wansan's cornucopia.
This time they not only ordered a vacuum packaging machine, but also many accessories and plastic films.
When we went back, we all traveled in train cars.
Because the plastic film takes up a lot of space, it takes up half of the car to fit it.
After arriving at the county town, Qian Shulan asked Wang Shouyi to help find a car to take her to the production team.
When we returned to Wangjia Village, everyone naturally heard about the order.
Everyone was very excited.
When we were hatching the chicks before, everyone’s enthusiasm was not very high.
These chicks all belong to other production teams, but they are the ones who are stealing their money.
If it weren't for the contract they had already signed, everyone would have gone on strike long ago.
Although I was doing my job conscientiously by hatching the chicks, I wasn't as excited as before.
Now, hearing that braised eggs and dried eggs are sold at high prices, everyone's enthusiasm has been aroused again.
After a few days, the electricity was connected, and Qian Shulan used the vacuum packaging machine as everyone expected.
Although several young men went back this time, they found it very difficult to learn.
Firstly, the translator spoke Cantonese which they could not understand. Secondly, the person who taught them the operation was a foreigner and spoke English, which they could not understand even more.
So in the end, only Qian Shulan learned it. Wang Shouquan, who could barely understand Cantonese, could only understand it vaguely. If we talk about getting started, he is definitely not as proficient as Qian Shulan.
