Zheng Bajin didn't dare to be pretentious anymore, but glanced at the confused people and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to use it to smoke meat."
"Bacon?" Yang Lao looked at him and said, "I've heard of using pine needles to smoke meat, but I've never heard of it. Chun trees are okay."
"Yes, and it's more fragrant than smoked from pine needles." Zheng Bajin said seriously, complaining in his heart, that's because you didn't know me before, otherwise, you would have seen me long ago.
In fact, in the more than half a year since he was reborn, he has not used chun trees for fumigation. The reason is very simple. There are not many chun trees here and they cannot withstand being cut down. Even in Liangshan, there are a lot of chun trees, but people rarely use chun trees to smoke meat.
The reason is simple. There are many pine trees on the mountain and there is not much meat for smoking.
"Okay, if you say it's okay, then maybe it's really okay." Yang Lao nodded and said, "Then give him that piece of mountain. I hope he won't disappoint me."
"It's definitely possible, and I won't let you down when the time comes." Zheng Bajin promised, "However, the land cannot be given away for free, rented or sold. There must be a time limit to avoid long nights and dreams."
What he wanted to say was that in a few years, when his stick tree had just matured and Zou Chenggong left, he was promoted, and someone else came and ignored the old affairs, his work would be in vain. He would have to sign a formal contract. When a new official comes to power, he should also be asked to take care of old affairs.
In his previous life, he had seen the thinking of some people. Once he saw him making money, he would jump out and say that it was a collective mountainous land and must be scored, and he could not be allowed to take it for himself.
"Hey, Mr. Yang has already said something, why are you still renting it? Even if you use it, it is still to promote the development of Shili Village." Zou Changshang said with a haha.
"No, you must make it clear and put black words on the white paper. Otherwise, I really don't dare to use it. Leaders also know that it takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Results are not achieved overnight."
"Okay, just do what Zheng Bajin said." Yang Lao glanced at Zou Chenggang and said, "Maybe his worry is right. In a few years, you and I will not be able to still be where we are now. When the time comes, it won’t matter.”
Zou Zhongzheng thought thoughtfully, nodded and said: "Okay, tell me, what's the rent law? Although this is a barren mountain, you don't have the right to buy and sell freely, so let's contract it!"
"The contract must be at least fifty years, otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to do it." Zheng Bajin said with a smile, thinking that it would be fine if it remained unchanged for thirty years.
If Zou Chenggang wanted to bargain for a price, cutting off twenty years would be just right.
Zou Chengzhang didn't dare to make the decision, and instead of rushing to express his position, he looked at Mr. Yang.
"Fifty years, just fifty years, write a contract. As for the rent, just think about it and treat it as an investment for the future of the people of Shili Village." Mr. Yang nodded.
In the end, Zheng Bajin contracted the barren mountain for a rent of 100 yuan a year, which was completely beyond his imagination.
Then he rented the beach for two hundred and one years, and the lease term was also fifty years. I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, I really made a lot of money.
Today's 100 yuan can buy a thousand kilograms of potatoes, which is not a small amount. However, ten years later, money will not be called at all, and perhaps, I will not want to bend down to pick it up.
With these land resources, why worry about not getting enough money?
Yang Lao naturally has his own idea, which is to provide all favorable conditions so that Zheng Bajin can lead the village to become rich, even if the government provides some money, he is willing to do so.
Yang Lao looked at Zheng Bajin and said, "Now that we have the land, it depends on when you will start construction?"
"After a few days, we will start construction. We will plant some Chinese chrysanthemum trees first. When the river bank mentioned by Township Chief Zou is repaired, the pig farm will also start construction. We will try to have the first batch of pigs ready for slaughter before the end of the year." Zheng Bajin Assured.
"That's fine, let's slow down the matter of the pig farm first, so as not to make it difficult for Zou to operate normally. Those who don't know may think that he has taken a stake here, and the common people have started to work voluntarily to feel resentful." Mr. Yang smiled bitterly. , said, "Actually, they don't understand that they are doing things for the village. As long as your pig farm is successful, it will require a lot of labor and people can go there to work. But what I'm worried about is, It’s true as you said, this pig will be ready for slaughter in just a few months.”
"This is no problem. It can grow to more than 200 kilograms in up to six months." Zheng Bajin said, thinking that of course this cannot be raised according to the traditional method.
First, feed it only a little grain, hang it on a shelf (to make it taller), and then feed it some potatoes and cornmeal mixed with grass for half a year. If you raise it like this, it will take at least a year before it can be sold. How can you still make a profit?
What he wants is a new type of feed. In his previous life, the fastest he could produce was two months, but by his own conservative calculation, it would only take half a year.
More importantly, you can also ask Mr. Yang to grind the water from the municipal guest house and the bones left by the guests into powder and infiltrate it into the food, which will greatly increase the growth rate of the pigs.
Of course, you can't add too much water, otherwise, the quality of the meat will not be good and the taste will be bad. At that time, the reputation will be ruined and Yang Lao's plan will be missed.
Yang Lao watched Zou Changshang sign the contract with Zheng Bajin and paid for one year. He said, "Bajin, the development of Shili Village depends on you now. But, I still don't know something. According to you, a batch of pigs will be released from the pig farm this year, and by then, do you plan to turn them all into bacon?"
Zheng Bajin nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Yang, the first batch of pigs coming out will definitely not be too many, and we don't plan to sell fresh meat. If we want to make Qiucheng Lao ham and smoked meat a brand, The whole city knows it, and even the whole province has a bit of a reputation, so this quantity is definitely not enough, and we have to buy a batch from the people."
Glancing at Mr. Yang and seeing him nodding, Zheng Bajin continued: "I understand Mr. Yang's worry. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find so much firewood to smoke meat?"
Yang Lao nodded again and said: "Yes, this is what I am worried about. You also know that meat smoked with coal is not good. Not only does it taste bad, but it can also easily turn into a hazelnut smell."
He did not explain that it was because the acid price exceeded the standard. In the minds of Yang Lao and others, there was no such concept.
In fact, coal contains acidic substances, which accelerates the oxidation of grease and oil during the combustion process.
Food that smells bad not only smells bad but also tastes bad. Eating it will ingest a large amount of oxidative free radicals produced by the deterioration of fat, which increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer.
Zheng Bajin chose to get straight to the point and said: "Lao Yang, don't worry about this at all. Didn't Mayor Zou just say that Yuanqiao Village is vigorously developing apple trees? By then, the branches they pruned will be the last ones." Good firewood can be purchased.”
"When the time comes, just add some chun branches, and the smoked meat will still be very fragrant. I have already inspected it. In the five or six teams, in the mountainous area of five or six kilometers, in Haizi Village, there are chun trees planted behind every house. As long as you pay for the tree, it will definitely solve the urgent need."
