The gongs and drums were beating, every household was notified, and the entire open space under the old locust tree was filled with people.
Everyone was whispering and talking, but everyone's face was full of excitement.
"Have you really concluded the chicken farm deal?"
"Can our chickens really be sold to the county?"
These questions come together and the whole clearing is filled with these voices.
Not only did Captain Zhou not feel annoyed, he actually took a puff of dry cigarette in a good mood.
There was no money at home, so he was usually reluctant to smoke. It was only because of something good today that he was willing to take a puff.
Xia Yao stood under the old locust tree with Captain Zhou. She was in a good mood as she listened to the chatter around her. She knew that Captain Zhou had strong appeal. In a short time, almost everyone in the village was there. This is it.
Moreover, just as Captain Zhou said, the Tian family did not come over at all.
"Quiet! Quiet!" Captain Zhou shouted at the top of his lungs, "I called you here today because our village is setting up a chicken farm!"
"Xia Zhiqing and Lu Jing went to the county and made an agreement with the textile factory. If the chickens and eggs raised in our village meet their standards, we can sign a contract this afternoon! From now on, the chickens and eggs in our village will be You can send eggs to the textile factory!"
"Xia Zhiqing is so awesome!"
"Lu Jing is also amazing, he is worthy of being a well-educated person!"
Everyone got the accurate news from Captain Zhou, and everyone became excited.
"But don't be too happy too early." Captain Zhou cleared his throat and coughed a few times to suppress the boiling atmosphere.
Seeing everyone sitting down neatly, he nodded with satisfaction in his heart, and then spoke: "The textile factory with thousands of people consumes a lot of meat every month. The hundred people in our village Many chickens are not enough, even the eggs are not enough for one day. If we want to cooperate with the textile factory in the long term, we must set up a chicken farm!"
"This chicken farm...isn't valuable!"
Some people whispered, their eyes full of distrust.
What if you lose?
Captain Zhou knew that such a thing would happen. He stopped Xia Yao who wanted to speak and said angrily: "Our team still has some spare money. If you guys can collect more, it will be enough to catch chickens. As for raising chickens, Chickens... we don’t have enough money, so we won’t feed them. We will build a net in the forest, put the chickens in when the time comes, and let them find food on their own. We just need to feed them some millet from time to time."
Xia Yao's eyes lit up when he heard Captain Zhou's words.
Congratulations, Captain Zhou! This breeding method, in a few decades, will be green and organic food, and the selling price will be far higher than that of ordinary feed chickens.
If we keep raising them like this, maybe the chickens of Qingshui Brigade can become a geographical brand!
"Of course, if you don't want to, the brigade will not force you to join. I have already said that the dividends from this chicken farm can only be obtained by those who participated in the construction! But, can this chicken farm be If we do it, it depends on whether everyone agrees. If more than half of the people agree, then I will go to the commune in the afternoon and ask the leaders of the commune to sign."
"Now everyone is voting. If you agree with the brigade to set up a chicken farm, draw a line on the white paper. If you don't want to, draw two lines!"
There are only a few people who disagree with the establishment of a chicken farm, but most people still agree. After all, the majority of the cost of this chicken farm is the chicken seedlings and the net. As for the forest, there is a large area in the back mountain! It’s still a bamboo forest!
Uncle Zhou, a highly respected member of the village, voted for the project, and in the end, two-thirds of the people agreed to build this chicken farm.
"Okay." Captain Zhou smiled and nodded, "Next, if you are willing to participate in the construction of the chicken farm, raise your hands. The work points of the chicken farm and the field are not interchangeable. If you want to get the work points of the chicken farm, you must either invest money. Either do your best!"
"Also, Xia Yao and Lu Jing have put a lot of effort into our chicken farm, and they will each receive a technical subsidy."
Everyone who originally raised their hands to agree to start a chicken farm raised their hands, and no one objected to Xia Yao and Lu Jing getting extra work points.
They all knew that if it weren't for these two people, how could they have thought of such a path? The chickens and eggs at home have long been sold to the purchasing station!
The people in the Qingshui Brigade were very cooperative with their work. Captain Zhou smiled so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.
"Okay, okay!" He nodded repeatedly, "Later, all of you who want to sell chickens will come to register with me to avoid making mistakes later."
There are two things to do this afternoon. He and a few brigade cadres can do it at the commune. The most important thing is the transaction with the textile factory. Each household raises different numbers of chickens and saves eggs. We must do a good job in this area, otherwise it will be difficult to settle accounts when the time comes.
When everyone heard this, they quickly went back to their homes.
Everyone wants to get the money quickly, and this is not a small amount!
Aunt Guihua stood there in a daze. She still couldn't believe it: "It's done like this? The commune won't block us?"
If this was investigated further, would it be regarded as speculation?
"Now you know you are worried." Captain Zhou snorted coldly, "Don't worry, the Shangyang Brigade has been doing this for so many years, and we are just like them. We don't do any shareholding and dividends, we are all based on Our work is divided, who can say anything about us?"
"Yes." Aunt Guihua nodded and ignored Captain Zhou. She pulled Xia Yao with a smile on her face: "Xia Zhiqing, you have really helped our village! Even if these chickens can't be sold... …”
"Don't worry, Auntie, if every household is like those chickens you raise, the textile factory will definitely want them! And I have also seen that the vast majority of people in our brigade are taking good care of them, and they will definitely not be any worse."
"Besides, we have to screen it ourselves before sending it to the textile factory." Xia Yao reassured with a smile.
When Aunt Guihua heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'm a good chicken raiser. I'll stay here later to help you sort through the chickens."
"That would be great!" Xia Yao's eyes lit up, "I just need a talent like you!"
Seeing Xia Yao make Aunt Guihua smile with just a few words, Captain Zhou blinked and looked at Lu Jing again: "If you can learn this from your wife, I won't have to worry about you so much!"
"Uncle Zhou, the Tian family's side..." Lu Jing frowned, "They must have bad intentions."
"Don't worry, our chicken farm doesn't have anything yet, what bad intentions can he have?" Captain Zhou sneered, "As long as I'm here, he can't do anything!"
Even so, Captain Zhou quickly stood up and shouted: "I will take a few brigade cadres to the commune first, and I will leave the textile factory to you."
