After an afternoon, Zheng Bajin pulled three carts of asbestos tiles to the pig farm.
Zhang Xiaoyang came over and told Zheng Bajin: "While digging the trench, an unexpected surprise occurred. Here, there is a layer of sand on top, which can be used as sand and gravel for the cement floor in the future."
"The soil below can be used to lay the soil foundation (soil bricks) and build walls. Don't you want to save costs? This can just save the cost of bricks."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said: "It's done well. In this way, the cost of materials has been greatly reduced, and only the labor cost is spent. Tomorrow, we will invite a few more people to lay the soil foundation and dig trenches at the same time. Anyway, there is plenty of space where you can work freely."
"Okay, I'll invite someone tonight." Zhang Xiaoyang was very happy to receive Zheng Bajin's approval.
He is different from other workers. He only earns ten yuan a day, and he has to use his brain to do things.
Seeing his happy expression, Zheng Bajin smiled to himself, and said calmly, "From today on, your salary will be fifteen yuan a day, and after one month, it will be four hundred and five yuan."
"Boss, you are so awesome. This is more than two months' salary for a formal teacher." Zhang Xiaoyang was even more excited. He didn't expect that he didn't study well, but the salary he received was no less than that of a college graduate. formal work.
Can't you believe that you have this ability?
Seeing him as happy as a child, Zheng Bajin felt funny in his heart. Look at how proud you are. In the future, you will have to be brave enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Don't be too satisfied with the little money you have now. Good times are yet to come.
The next day, Zhang Xiaoyang found five more people, including Wang Chaosheng, the captain and general manager of the third team.
He is one of the earliest junior high school graduates of the third team. Zheng Bajin appreciates it very much. He can take another look at the situation and maybe give him more responsibilities in the future.
There is no shortage of labor force in this place, but there is a shortage of educated managers.
Wang Chaosheng didn't have any big arrogance. He heard that Zheng Bajin hired someone to repair the pig farm and paid him five yuan a day, so he wanted to give it a try. However, he had to take the lead in voluntary work to repair the river bank.
Zhang Xiaoyang found him last night and said that if he volunteered, his wife could come and help him in his pig factory.
After hearing this, Wang Chaosheng happily agreed. Anyway, the river bank was almost finished, and there were specialized masons responsible for laying stones. He would also mix concrete for them, so his wife could do the job.
Qian Youyou, who also volunteered with him, also wanted to help Zheng Bajin. However, there was no labor force at home and he couldn't bear to let his mother do the job, so he had to give up.
This man is less than twenty years old. Since his father Qian Bo's incident, his life has changed and he has been able to support the family by himself.
It is said that when he went out to work as a volunteer, he also worked extremely hard and was no longer the young man who was just eating, drinking and having fun.
Zheng Bajin looked at the pig factory that already had more than a dozen workers and gave each of the workers a puff of smoke.
Zhang Xiaoyang began to distribute the work and divided the people into three groups. One group was responsible for picking up the surface sand and gravel and piling it aside, one group continued digging trenches, and the other group laid the soil foundation. The remaining two people were responsible for collecting the excavated sand and gravel. The soil is carried to the open space and is used exclusively for laying the soil foundation.
Since Wang Chaosheng had just arrived, he was assigned to the group carrying sand and gravel.
After Zhang Xiaoyang finished dividing, he glanced at Zheng Bajin: "Let's divide it like this for the time being. We will see when the time comes to see which side has insufficient manpower and adjust flexibly."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said: "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go to the street to buy some cement and lime. When the time comes, I'll use it to mix concrete and get some steel bars."
Originally, he could manage here and leave the purchase of materials to Zhang Xiaoyang, but he wanted Zhang Xiaoyang to adapt to the work of a manager so that he could shoulder the burden in the future.
Everything went on in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, ten days passed and the first batch of pig pens were built.
During this period, Zheng Bajin made a phone call to the director of the Animal Husbandry Bureau in the countryside. The man was also very generous and asked someone to send him a hundred piglets first.
Zheng Bajin was very satisfied. One hundred heads were enough for the time being, but he would not be able to find so much food for the time being.
The canteen in the village was also very generous and asked him to try his best to pull out the leftovers, even some bones, and took them all back to the pig farm.
Zheng Bajin asked the other workers to go back and rest first, leaving Wang Chaosheng, Qian Youyou, and a woman to manage a hundred pigs.
Now that the river bank has been repaired, Qian Youyou has completely freed up time to work on the pig farm.
Zhang Xiaoyang also temporarily spared time, and together with Zheng Bajin, found the power supply station and connected the electricity to the pig farm.
The two took to the streets, found an agricultural machinery company, bought a motor, and took it to a repair shop to borrow a welding machine. After modification, it turned into a vegetable cutting machine.
After taking it back to the pig farm, Zheng Bajin asked someone to find some corn stalks and tried it. It was okay. Although it was not too thin, it could still be used.
However, there are too few corn stalks now, and most of them have been eaten by cattle and horses. After Zheng Bajin harvested it for several days, it was not enough for a hundred pigs. He could only ask Zhang Xiaoyang to go to the street and collect some of the rice bran first, and then add it to the pigs. At the same time, the remaining soup water brought from the township government every day is added.
The pigs looked like they were enjoying their meal.
Zhang Xiaoyang was a little confused: "Brother Zheng, why don't you buy a large amount of leftover soup and water from the restaurant? The cost is low and pigs like to eat it."
"No, you can't eat too much of this stuff. It can only be used as an auxiliary ingredient. Otherwise, the pork won't taste very good." Zheng Bajin thought of the pigs raised specifically with Gushui in later generations. The meat quality was so poor that even the oil would not solidify. After eating it once, people don’t want to eat it twice.
This is why people in later generations specifically want to buy pork raised with grain in rural areas, even if it costs a few yuan more per pound, they don't feel bad at all.
However, where are the pigs raised by so many farmers? Most of them are feed pigs in large pig farms.
What Zheng Bajin wants to do is not to be used as feed pigs for future generations, but to make original ecological pork raised mainly with vegetables and grains, and with bone meal as seasoning. Only in this way can he become an instant hit in the city and have the opportunity to go out and sell to the market. All major cities across the country are reserved for wealthy people.
However, now where to find so many vegetables to grow, we can only focus on sugar first.
As long as it lasts a month, the vegetables grown by Xi Shunjin in Haizi Village can be harvested, and some of the vegetables grown by Hu Ying can be harvested, but the quantity is too small.
He believes that as long as he can actually buy the vegetables grown by Xi Shunjin for five cents a pound, others will follow suit and start growing vegetables in large quantities. By then, there will be as much as you want.
Thinking of this, Zheng Bajin took Zhang Xiaoyang and rode a motorcycle to Haizi Village. They saw that Xi Shunjin was planting vegetables. However, there was something wrong with the way he planted them. He first scattered the rapeseeds in the potato rows, and then planted them in the potato rows. Potatoes loosen the soil, which saves labor and kills two birds with one stone.
However, the problem is that the efficiency is too low. The first ones have sprouted, but the last ones have not been planted yet. When will these dozens of acres of land be finished?
