"Shujie, what are you busy with? You can even forget to eat." Cheng Xiaolin was particularly curious.
Cao Shujie told his wife about his new idea.
After hearing this, Cheng Xiaolin didn't know how to evaluate him. She asked: "You want to solve the weed problem, so you plan to engage in breeding now?"
"Yes, those weeds have also drank nutrient solution. They are growing vigorously and are rich in nutrients. We can't just waste them." The more Cao Shujie said, the more reasonable he became and he was confident: "I had a plan to reserve 28
We will use the acres of land to plant something else, and the remaining land will be used for breeding. Now we have to advance the breeding plan a little earlier."
"We won't have to buy it then. If we want to eat it, we can kill one ourselves. Do you think that's right?" Cao Shujie applauded his perfect idea.
Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes: "I still want to kill one, how many can you eat?"
At this point, Cheng Xiaolin reminded him again: "Besides, if you raise too many feces over time, the smell of feces will be very strong and it will be troublesome to deal with. Are other people willing?" Cheng Xiaolin reminded her husband.
Cao Shujie smiled "hehe" and nodded: "This is actually easy to solve. I plan to build a pig house, a cattle pen, and a sheep pen. The excrement will be processed together to make organic fertilizer and then spread in the orchard."
This is the correct answer. In this way, most things can be used rationally.
Weeds and organic fertilizers can also save some money on feed and fertilizers.
He also believes that livestock raised on these nutritious weeds are much better and have better meat quality than those raised solely on feed.
"Husband, you are becoming more and more classy." Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile.
Cao Shujie chuckled and said modestly: "It's just so-so. I only have this little ability. It's useless to try anything else."
"How could it be?" Cheng Xiaolin completely disagreed. She felt that her husband was already good enough now, but she was still belittling herself.
"When will we start doing it?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "It has already started. I just called Boss Chen who sells barbed wire guardrails on the mountain and bought another 500 meters of barbed wire guardrails from him."
"In addition, I also called Grandpa Zhenggang. He is busy now. When he comes back in the evening, he will go for a walk in the mountains to discuss what to do."
"By the way, that road also needs to be repaired. At least the section from the foot of the mountain to the orchard on the mountain should be widened and hardened. This will also make it easier for us to transport things up and down the mountain in the future."
Cheng Xiaolin fully agreed with her husband's plan: "Husband, look at what you need me to do, and just tell me."
Cao Shujie just thought that he didn't need to say anything to his wife, just watch Mengmeng at home.
But when the words came to his lips, they were swallowed hard: "Honey, after a busy few days, I have to buy a lot of things. I may not be able to remember them clearly by then. You are responsible for keeping the accounts and reconciling them."
He deliberately emphasized: "This is related to money, it is very important!"
Cheng Xiaolin instantly felt a sense of mission, and she nodded solemnly: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this."
"It's not just this time. From now on, you will be responsible for keeping accounts, recruiting people to work, and settling accounts for our family. I will be responsible for the general direction and ignore these details." Cao Shujie waved his hand and said.
"Okay!" Cheng Xiaolin smiled happily.
…
Wang Yuelan didn't ask anything about the arrangements for her son and daughter-in-law. When her son said he planned to raise pigs, cows, sheep and chickens in the mountains, she didn't raise any objections.
Those raised will be healthier than those raised on feed.
"Grandma, eat, take care of it!" Mengmeng said with a big head and waved her little hand, which was very grand.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin burst out laughing when they saw this scene.
Cao Shujie still has a plan in mind, but there is no condition to implement it yet.
In Cao Shujie's view, if his plan can be successfully implemented in two years, he will be able to produce and sell the meat himself without having to consider selling it at all.
Cao Zhenggang returned to Caojiazhuang in the dark after seven o'clock in the evening.
After coming back, he immediately called Cao Shujie and asked him to go to the mountain so that the two of them could meet and chat.
Cao Shujie didn't waste any time. After telling his parents and wife, he took a large flashlight and rode his electric bike towards the orchard on the mountain.
When he saw Cao Zhenggang, Cao Shujie almost didn't recognize him.
Cao Zhenggang's face was covered with black ash, and his clothes were stained with mud. It looked like he had just returned from work and hadn't had time to go home to wash his face and change clothes.
"Grandpa Zhenggang, haven't you eaten yet?" Cao Shujie asked.
Cao Zhenggang nodded: "I just came back and I didn't bother to eat. I'll take a look at your place first. It won't be too late for me to go home for dinner."
"Grandpa Zhenggang, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry right now." Cao Shujie said, "Why don't you go to my house for a drink first."
"No, no, your grandma has cooked and is waiting for me to go back for dinner at home." Cao Zhenggang refused simply. He said, "Shujie, go open the door and I'll wash your face. Please tell me the details."
idea."
The conversation lasted for more than an hour. A dark cloud came over and blocked the moonlight. If Cao Shujie hadn't been holding a large flashlight, they would have had to work in the dark.
"Shujie, you have just planted fruit trees, and you have to do some farming. This investment is huge, why not do it step by step?" Cao Zhenggang reminded him tactfully.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Grandpa Zhenggang, don't worry. I have a plan. I won't raise many at the beginning. Let's slowly gain experience."
After hearing what he said, Cao Zhenggang said no more.
He pointed to the open space that Cao Shujie had specially reserved before and said, "Just use a small piece of it. Don't you have to plant the rest?"
"Well, I plan to plant some more seasonal fruits, so that I can speed up the recycling of funds. Otherwise, just kiwis and apples will produce fruits too slowly," Cao Shujie said.
Cao Zhenggang asked him: "Do you have a plan?"
"Yes, let's plant some strawberries and watermelons." Cao Shujie said with a smile: "Our family Mengmeng likes to eat strawberries and watermelons the most."
"Haha, you are so kind to your children." Cao Zhenggang sighed with emotion.
From Cao Shujie's words and deeds, you can feel his doting on his daughter.
There are a few people who contract to grow fruits in the mountains. They are as willful as he is and even set aside a special area to grow what their daughters like to eat.
But they also grow strawberries and watermelons here, so it’s not a big problem.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when the two of them came down from the mountain, and they were too busy to do so.
Cao Shujie apologized: "Grandpa Zhenggang, I have made you too busy again. Why don't you go to my house for a drink? There is also good wine."
"Shujie, I really can't. I told your grandma that you can go home for dinner tonight and not drink outside." Cao Zhenggang insisted, and Cao Shujie didn't mention it again.
Cao Zhenggang also said: "I'm busy with a job right now. I'll work on it for another four or five days. When I'm done, I'll bring people over there as soon as possible. By then, the barbed wire guardrails you ordered will also be here."
"Okay, I have no objection." Cao Shujie said.
When he returned home, his parents were sitting in the main room. When he saw him entering, his father Cao Jianguo stretched out his hand to greet him: "Shujie, come here."
"Dad, are you okay?" Cao Shujie wondered.
Cao Jianguo said: "Your mother said you wanted to engage in farming? Before the fruit saplings have grown, you are doing something else. Do you want to fly?"
There was concern in his tone, fearing that his son would go astray, so he would wake him up from time to time.
"Dad, it's not what you think." After Cao Shujie told his father about his considerations, he added: "Dad, no matter how much I say, it's useless. You will understand when you follow me to the orchard on the mountain tomorrow morning.
Already."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Cao Jianguo is very stubborn!
Wang Yuelan saw that the two men were a little bit arrogant, and she quickly said: "Shujie, you are so busy again. Go wash up and rest quickly. We will talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."
"Mom, you should also go to bed early."
After Cao Shujie washed his face, he returned to the bedroom. Mengmeng had already fallen asleep, and his quiet little face had the magic that attracted Cao Shujie. He couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile on his face.
