A month later, the pig farm has begun to take shape. The pens inside can already accommodate 2,000 pigs. Two offices and a duty room have also been built. However, the livestock station gave a total of 500 pigs as promised. There are still 1,500 incisions that cannot be repaired.
Fortunately, among the five hundred pigs, Zheng Bajin left twenty good ones as breeding pigs, which he could produce and sell on his own.
The five biogas digesters were also fully completed and compensation was given, all of which was used by Zheng Bajin to pay for the labor without hesitation.
Zheng Bajin looked at the gate that had not yet been installed and calculated. He had no money left.
During this period, there was only a lot of expenditure and no income. All the money earned from pressing fertilizers and ham was invested in infrastructure.
However, thankfully, so far, the workers have not been owed a penny of wages, and he has paid all the wages of Tang Zhengwen and Zhang Xiaoyang.
Zhang Xiaoyang walked to Zheng Bajin, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Bajin, saying, "Brother Bajin, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, how can I build this gate?"
"Didn't you say that there are ready-made ones in the city? Do you want to order one?" Zhang Xiaoyang looked at him strangely, not knowing that he had no money.
"No, the doors made in the city are not suitable. They mainly focus on appearance, not practicality, and are not strong enough." Zheng Bajin took the cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and said, "Go there when you have time. Hire a welder on the street to weld the remaining steel bars here to make it look grand and strong."
Zhang Xiaoyang glanced at him doubtfully and wanted to say something, but he held back and nodded, got on his motorcycle, and actually went to hire someone to weld the door.
Hearing the sound of the motorcycle driving away, Zheng Bajin entered the pig farm. Looking at the first batch of pigs, which already weighed about a hundred kilograms, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Wang Chaosheng came to him, looked at him and said, "Xiaojin, this pig is really willing to grow. I didn't expect that the breeding method you used has such obvious effects."
Zheng Bajin nodded. If this continues, there will be no big problem in selling it in the autumn.
"Now that the weather is getting hotter, you must pay attention to the hygiene inside. There is plenty of water anyway, so don't be afraid of wasting electricity." Zheng Bajin felt wise because he spent a lot of money some time ago and sold two water pumps.
"Flush frequently, at least once a day." Wang Chaosheng nodded and said, silent for a second, and then said, "When will the next batch of pigs arrive?"
"Don't worry, let's wait for a while. The current weather is not suitable for new piglets, and they can easily get sick." Zheng Bajin found a reasonable excuse to cover up the fact that he was short of money. "Pay attention often. Once you see Which pig is in bad condition, take decisive measures quickly, isolate it when it needs to be isolated, and give it an injection when it needs to be injected."
Wang Chaosheng nodded. He has now learned how to give injections, and ordinary minor illnesses cannot trouble him.
Zheng Bajin was very satisfied with this manager. He found the right person. He was not only smart, but also easy to learn.
He only watched the people at the animal husbandry station come to get injections twice, and he was able to find the right place for the injection and the mixture of the medicine. What was even more rare and valuable was that he also learned how to breed pigs. To illustrate, educated and hard-working people are always in demand.
Zheng Bajin looked at each closed pig pen again and saw that everything was normal. Not only was the environment clean, but every pig was in good spirits, alive and gaining weight crazily.
Now, there are five people in charge of the pig farm, which is a lot of pressure.
Zheng Bajin thought like this and decided to go to the city tomorrow to find the relevant departments to get some funds. Otherwise, he would hardly be able to pay the workers' wages, let alone food money.
This matter must be done as early as possible, otherwise, once the city gets news from the province, a large amount of funds will be used to prepare for the repair of the reservoir, or to prepare for next year's reception work.
After all, this is the first time in history that a deputy state-level leader has come to inspect, and nothing can be done carelessly.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoyang came back, and sure enough he brought a welder with him. After hearing what Zheng Bajin said, the man started working.
Zheng Bajin felt relieved about Zhang Xiaoyang and gave him full authority to handle it.
He didn't ride the bike, leaving Zhang Xiaoyang to walk home alone. He had to go see how much money was left in the canteen, and at least pay the welder's wages first.
For a craftsman, the current business is not easy to do, and we cannot let others feel cold.
Besides, it’s not easy to hang out with everyone, because they all have to support their families.
When he arrived at the canteen, Nian Jian'an saw Zheng Bajin at the first sight, and frowned, saying, "I need money again, and I don't have any money to purchase goods."
"Don't be in a hurry to buy the goods. How much money you have, let's use it as advance payment." Of course Zheng Bajin didn't care about his old father-in-law's displeasure.
Nian Jian'an opened the drawer specifically for money, pointed at it and said, "Look, this little bit is all the income from today's business. You have taken it every day these days, and you have emptied it all."
"It's okay. That's enough. You'll get better after passing this level first." Zheng Bajin said, reaching out and grabbing the bills from the drawer. He counted them and found that there were only two hundred yuan and some zero bills. He returned it and said, "Just remember it."
Nian Jian'an picked up the notebook, wrote it down, sighed and said: "Actually, if you keep this small shop, you can still live without worries, why do you have to go through so much trouble? Why do you have to open a pig farm with such a big underpinning?" The capital is so tight that Qingqing is left alone to guard the city."
"Isn't it better for a family to live together, with food and clothing?"
While Nian Jian'an was still nagging, Zheng Bajin had already gone out, lit a cigarette, and took two deep puffs.
Now, the sun is shining, it is very hot, and it is about to rain.
However, it still counts if it rains. This is the case in Shili Village. The rain comes very late, in June, and the crops on the ground are all dried up. If it doesn't rain for three more days, the corn will be dried out. die.
Think about it, although Haizi Village is far away, the night tide soil there and the thick fog are more suitable for growing vegetables. It’s not possible to plant corn either, but the temperature is a little too low and it won’t grow.
In this Shili Village, it is best to grow apples, which are relatively drought-resistant. As long as they are watered several times a year, they can catch the rainy season.
Then, just wait to harvest the apples.
Moreover, once the railway is built, transportation costs will be greatly reduced. Coupled with the unique weather and the large temperature difference between morning and evening, the sugar content of apples is much higher than that in other areas. It is easy to get rock candy fillings and bring them to big cities. The taste alone is amazing. It can instantly kill the two major apple provinces of Dongshan and Xishan.
However, Zheng Bajin did not plan to plant it himself. It would not yield results in the short term and would take at least five years to generate income. He could not afford to wait.
However, we can instill some ideas into people and let them plant dozens of trees when they have free time. Once someone tastes the sweetness, people will naturally follow suit.
Then, there will be no need to worry about firewood for bacon in winter.
The top priority is to get money as soon as possible, otherwise, this pig farm will soon be unable to sustain itself, and by then, anything you say will be useless.
