Chapter 675 Single-handedly drive the development of agriculture in the county (4000
10000)
After Cao Shujie returned to Caojiazhuang from the town, he told Cao Jianlong about the exchange with Liu Furong.
"Uncle Long, Secretary Liu will definitely find a way to publicize it and guide some farmers to plant forage. I also believe that with the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative guaranteeing to harvest forage, many people will plant it."
Cao Shujie believed in his judgment.
Most ordinary people live too hard and have no way to make money. Now that they have a stable financial path, many ordinary people dare to take this bold step and give it a try.
"Okay, Shujie, don't worry, leave the rest to me." Cao Jianlong was unambiguous at the critical moment.
This is also something that Cao Shujie has always felt comfortable with since he partnered with him.
"Uncle Long, I have to work hard for you again." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Jianlong didn't care: "What does this mean? You have done the most important work."
"Shujie, you may not know, but I often think that Caojiazhuang is lucky to have you, otherwise we would still be a bunch of miserable people, squatting at the gate, lighting up a cigarette, and thinking about where to go to make some money."
"Some people in their 50s and 60s can't make money at home, so they have to go out to make money despite being ill. It's not like now that they can make more money at home than outside."
When Cao Jianlong was talking, that picture also appeared in Cao Shujie's mind.
They are all at least thirty or forty years old, commonly known as the breadwinners, who need to support their families. No one is smarter than the other. Everyone has a lot of strength and a diligent heart, but diligence does not mean that they can earn money.
A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Shujie's mouth, and he said: "Uncle Long, you are wrong. Without Caojiazhuang, there would be no me. I should do some work."
"Haha, you boy...Caojiazhuang is so lucky." Cao Jianlong sighed.
But Cao Shujie didn't want to hear this, so he said to Cao Jianlong: "Uncle Long, there is one more thing. Last time you said you were going to build a feed processing plant. I think this is good, and I also told Secretary Liu."
"But one thing I have to explain in advance is that our purpose of opening the feed processing plant is to serve Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative, not to sell feed, so we must always pay attention to our own work." Cao Shujie specially reminded Cao Jianlong.
Cao Jianlong nodded heavily, he also knew this.
"Shujie, don't worry. This feed processing factory is mainly for us to prepare feed and forage."
Cao Jianlong pointed to the south and then to the north, and he said to himself: "Besides, we have so many cattle now, and we will only raise more in the future. Our own cattle are not enough to eat, so how can we have extra feed to sell out.
"
"We can't say for sure, just take it step by step slowly." Cao Shujie didn't say any more.
It's like he first rented a factory in the town as a warehouse to sell apples, but later found that there was no profit in doing the most primitive second-hand job. Later, he opened a factory to make apple preserves, and then began to research the preserves of strawberries, kiwis, peaches and other fruits.
.
The factory is also growing bigger and bigger. From the first factory, to the current three factories are now in operation, and the second phase is also under intensive construction.
At the beginning, Cao Shujie didn't think so much, but when things developed later, his will was often not the theme.
The two of them drank tea and chatted, looking at the trees outside that had lost their leaves, and there was a thick layer of leaves on the road.
It will be December soon, this year will be over, and next year will be the time for a bumper harvest in Caojiazhuang.
Cao Shujie's face was filled with a smile: "Uncle Long, have you ever thought about it. Next year, when the kiwi fruit is harvested for the first time, the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative will pay dividends after it expands its scale. It will be at least four times this year's dividend."
"Shujie, to tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to it."
Cao Jianlong lit another cigarette and took a deep puff. The smoke ring spit out from his mouth, spiraled and grew larger, and slowly dissipated in the high air.
"To be honest, if I push it forward four years, I didn't expect that I would still be waiting to make money."
"These days, even if you give me a job in a state-owned enterprise, I won't change my job." Cao Jianlong squinted his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself.
He said: "To put it aside, let's talk about those people in our village who used to work outside. Although I don't know how much money you can make, I think you, Brother Xu, should be the person with the highest salary in our village."
"But, our village's dividends from the breeding farm alone this year will be as low as six to seven thousand, and as much as fifty or sixty thousand. Next year's dividends will be at least tens of thousands, and may be more than hundreds of thousands."
"It's time to harvest kiwi fruits as well. Even if the yield of kiwi fruits in the first year is not high, just 3,000 kilograms. This acre of land can be sold for at least 10,000 yuan. Who doesn't have two or three acres of land? That's a lot.
There are more than ten acres of land, and there are those who rely on Shujie to make a living by setting up stalls in your orchard, and others who work in the village committee to earn wages..."
"Shujie, let me put it bluntly, as long as he is not lazy, how can we not make money in Caojiazhuang now?"
Speaking of this, Cao Jianlong suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there are people who work in your factory. I heard that the wages are as low as three to four thousand yuan."
"How much can you earn with all this money? I don't think there are many jobs outside that can match ours."
The more Cao Jianlong thought about it, the more beautiful he became: "Shujie, the people of Caojiazhuang, as long as they have something in mind, they should consciously go to your place every New Year and say a few words."
"Even if you go to ask for a cup of tea with nothing, right?"
"Haha, Uncle Long deserves the award, but I welcome you to come for tea, and even more welcome for you to drink," Cao Shujie said.
After the two separated, Cao Shujie went home, and Cao Jianlong called Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian and told them to meet at the Caojiazhuang Village Committee to discuss the matter.
One was to tell them the good news that Cao Shujie had reached an agreement with Liu Furong, and the other was to discuss building a feed processing plant.
In this way, they will purchase large amounts of corn, bean cakes, bran, corn stalks, straw, etc.
A Zhongcheng breeding cooperative revitalizes the agriculture in Caojiazhuang and surrounding villages and towns, which is true at all.
…
The home of Cao Shujie at the north end of Caojiazhuang.
After listening to her husband's story, Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help but sigh: "Shujie, you can say that the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative has revitalized the agricultural economy of Qingshi Town."
"It's not that exaggerated. At most, it can revitalize the agriculture of the dozen or so surrounding villages." Cao Shujie said modestly.
But Cheng Xiaolin knew that things were not that simple.
From now on, Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative will purchase corn, beans, bean cakes, bran, corn stalks, etc. in large quantities, which can bring stable income to the surrounding people.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't care what her husband said, she continued: "And our Xuemeng Food Factory can at least consume the kiwis, apples and strawberries in Pingyuan County."
"I think that after the second factory starts construction, the fruits from the surrounding counties may not be available."
"It's hard to say about other things, but planting this area in the orchard is safe."
…
The facts are indeed as Cheng Xiaolin said.
Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative raised more than 6,000 cattle this year, plus more than 2,000 cattle from four other villages, adding up to nearly 9,000 cattle. The daily consumption of roughage, concentrate and pasture is measured in ten thousand kilograms.
This force cannot be ignored.
Liu Furong, Luo Ningyou and others did not ignore it either.
They attached great importance to Cao Shujie's suggestions.
So after Cao Shujie left, the two discussed it together, and then called all the heads of relevant departments in the town to come over for a meeting.
At the meeting, Liu Furong and Luo Ningyou emphasized the planting of forage.
Highlight a principle, villagers volunteer!
After receiving the task, these people in charge got busy, arranging people to go to the villages to promote the project, and convening village party secretaries to hold meetings in the town to explain to them why they should plant grass and the benefits of planting grass.
Qingshi Town has dozens of natural villages under its jurisdiction, with a total population of more than 40,000 people. None of them expected that near the end of the year, people from the town government would come to promote the planting of forage.
People who heard these propaganda said that the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative in Caojiazhuang purchases forage and can also sign guaranteed purchase contracts with farmers who grow forage.
The most important thing is to pay in cash, the number of places is limited, and signing is on a first-come, first-served basis.
This incident caused an uproar in every village.
In addition to those farmers who grow fruit trees, there are many ordinary people in other villages who grow conventional crops such as corn and wheat.
Their village has neither a talented person like Cao Shujie nor an industry like Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative.
Before growing pasture, they were worried that no one would buy it.
It's okay now, I signed a guarantee contract in advance.
Moreover, the people in the villages below Qingshi Town all know that the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative in Caojiazhuang raises thousands of cattle and distributed more than 8 million in cash dividends this year. This matter was even shown on TV, and the town leaders went to the scene in person.
Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative is really rich, and the eyes of people like them are red when they see it.
For a time, many people went to the village committees to ask how to register.
Some people are anxious, fearing that it won't be their turn, and want to pull out the wheat from the field now and plant it with pasture.
Fortunately, the leaders of the village committee were not confused, and no one supported the people to do this. At the same time, the leaders of other villages and committees under the jurisdiction of Qingshi Town appeased the people who were anxious to sign up, telling them to take their time and wait until the wheat harvest is finished next year.
It’s not too late to plant pasture.
At this stall, the village leaders also publicized to the people in each village that if they did not want to grow pasture, they could continue to grow corn and sorghum, and then they could sell the crops such as corn and sorghum to Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative.
Orchardists can sell their own fruits to Xuemeng Food Factory.
All in one set.
Amidst this busyness, time has entered December, and at the same time, the first heavy snowfall of this year has arrived.
When he woke up early in the morning, Cao Shujie wanted to take Daha and Erha to run a few laps on the dam. When he saw the snowflakes falling outside the window and a thick layer of white snow on the ground, Cao Shujie gave up his original plan.
He called Mengmeng up and told Mengmeng to go down and build a snowman later.
"Will such heavy snow affect the factory's delivery?" Cheng Xiaolin looked outside with some worry.
Cao Shujie said: "It will definitely have some impact. If the snow in other places is so heavy, the expressway will not be allowed and the products will not be transported out. It will be very delayed."
"But with such heavy snow, the more anxious you are, the more likely it is to cause an accident. You still can't let down your guard." The expression on Cao Shujie's face was not relaxed.
But Mengmeng didn't care about this. After putting on thick clothes, she ran downstairs and was now preparing to build a snowman.
As soon as she arrived on the first floor, she shouted loudly: "Grandpa, grandma, come out and take a look, it's snowing heavily outside."
When she came to the door, Mengmeng pushed the door hard and wanted to go out, but the wind outside was very strong, and the wind pressure was against the door. She grinned as hard as she could, but she still couldn't push it open.
Wang Yuelan came over, straightened her granddaughter's collar first, zipped the coat to her neck, then found a hat for her to put on, and put on the gloves hanging at the door, and then opened the door for Mengmeng: "
It's okay to play in the snow, but don't stuff it down your neck, otherwise you'll catch a cold and you'll need an injection."
"I'm not afraid, grandma, come and build a snowman too." Mengmeng shouted.
She has run out.
Wang Yuelan looked at her granddaughter Mengmeng running in the snow. She accidentally slipped and fell down on her butt.
The clothes on his body were covered with snow.
Wang Yuelan was startled, but nothing happened to Mengmeng, and she was still having fun.
"Mengmeng, please slow down, don't knock." Wang Yuelan also came out and stood aside to watch, ready to help her granddaughter at the critical moment.
Cheng Xiaolin was upstairs, watching her daughter playing in the snow in the yard through the glass. She also wanted to go out and play for a while.
But today is different from the past. There is still a baby in her belly. If she goes out at this time, if she accidentally falls again, it will be too late for her to regret it.
Cao Shujie told his wife, went downstairs to play with Mengmeng for a while, and even built a snowman with a shovel.
Use the big charcoal used to burn the heater to break off two pieces of debris to use as the snowman's eyes. Then let Mengmeng go to the house to ask her mother for a hat she used to have when she was a child and use it as a hat for the snowman.
He even went out and broke off two branches to use as the snowman's hands.
"Dad, nose, the snowman has no nose." Mengmeng shouted.
When Cao Shujie saw that it was true, he went directly to the refrigerator and pulled out a small carrot. He felt that it was still too big for the snowman's face, so he peeled it layer by layer with a knife and peeled off part of the carrot pulp.
In the end, a long and slender piece was left, inserted under the snowman's two black eyeballs.
Use your fingers to draw an arc under the nose, which will become the snowman's mouth.
"Wow, Dad, you are so awesome." Mengmeng saw the lifelike snowman and clapped her hands happily in praise.
Cao Shujie felt happy when he heard his daughter's praise.
"Dad, go get the camera and take a photo of me and the snowman." Mengmeng's mind was spinning fast, she had already thought of this.
Wang Yuelan took a broom and swept the excess snow in the yard to a place at the base of the wall that was out of the way.
"Mom, put down the broom and I'll sweep it later," Cao Shujie said.
But Wang Yuelan ignored her son at all: "Linlin will come down later. There is so much snow, it is easy to slip."
"If I'm counting on you, I'll have to wait until next year."
Cao Shujie's face turned dark when he heard his mother's words.
