In the end, Zhou Yan still failed to secure the hot kang head.
In the afternoon, my father was dragged away by someone. When he came back, his face was already a bit drunk.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yan had no choice but to give up his position, return to his small study room, video chat, and teach his girlfriend how to use three-person software for decoration design.
The next day, Zhou Yan got up early, stretched his muscles, and then visited the "modern pig farm" with his father.
After walking around, Zhou Yan discovered that the territory of his pig farm had expanded again: a granary and a pellet feed machine were installed in the expanded area.
"Son, you don't know, these animals are really edible and can produce several thousand kilograms of grain in a day!"
Zhou Yan saw his father beaming with joy and was too embarrassed to expose him: "You are just showing off."
After the pig farm is built, the subsequent breeding costs mainly come from three areas: piglets, medicine and feed.
The cost of breeding piglets at home is almost zero; medicine is essential. If the sanitary conditions are better, you can save part of the medical expenses, but it is quite limited.
The feed is different. For a pig to grow from a piglet to a 200 kilogram fat pig, it must consume at least four to five hundred kilograms of feed.
There are nearly 3,000 pigs in Zhou Yan's pig farm. To raise a batch of pigs, it consumes about 1,500 to 600 tons of feed.
And Mr. Zhou purchases raw materials from the village at low prices and prepares and processes the feed himself. Each ton of feed is almost three to four hundred yuan cheaper than branded feed...
While walking, Father Zhou suddenly stopped, looked back at the mountains of raw materials, and sighed slightly: "Making feed is really a huge profit! Pigs are so edible!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Yan was embarrassed to tell his father a shocking fact: Dai Zhengda, which relied on a flower grower's huge pig-raising business, had become one of the top 500 companies in Asia by relying on its pig feed business...
Just after breakfast, my uncle's electric donkey arrived, and Father Zhou just happened to push out his family's electric donkey.
Before Zhou Yan could react, his father had already ridden on, and my mother quickly got on the back seat.
"Son, you can go next door and borrow a bicycle. Let's set off first..."
"Am I your biological child?" Zhou Yan was about to cry. He finished cleaning up the house and then went to pick up the bicycle from his neighbor's house.
Originally, there were two bicycles at home, a women's model and a 28-inch Golden Deer. However, the tires on these two bicycles were worn out because they had not been ridden for a long time.
Rural fairs are held every five days, and town fairs are only held on the third and eighth days of the lunar calendar.
In the countryside at the beginning of 2008, there were not that many private cars. One or two cars would occasionally drive by on the asphalt road. Apart from electric donkeys, the only other means of transportation were bicycles, and there were very few electric cars.
Although there are asphalt roads from Zhoujialing to the town, they are all undulating mountain roads. It took Zhou Yan more than ten minutes to complete the six to seven kilometers journey.
"This way..."
Zhou Yan didn't have to look for it himself, because Zhou Yan waved to Zhou Yan from afar. When he got closer, Zhou Yan suddenly stretched out his left hand and handed Zhou Yan two candied haws.
This is your biological father!
"Your aunt bought this and left two for you..."
Find an opportunity to do a DNA comparison.
Zhou Yan smiled perfunctorily and took the candied haws of water, while Father Zhou took the bicycle and pushed it to the "paid parking lot" aside.
There is no need to rush into DNA comparison for now...
The market in the town was as noisy and busy as I remembered. The stalls on both sides of the road were filled with all kinds of daily necessities, including pots and pans, shovels, spoons, knives and chopsticks.
Of course, Zhou Yan's realization did not stay at the stall for long, but turned to a stall owner selling graters on the roadside.
"Do not miss passing through……"
Hearing the familiar cries, Zhou Yan's lips showed a knowing smile.
More than ten years later, when online anchors carrying goods became popular, many migrant workers from rural areas felt inexplicably warm when they heard "There are only 99 items. If you miss it, you have to wait until next year."
For a while, Zhou Yan was puzzled by this inexplicable sense of intimacy. After struggling for a while, Zhou Yan figured it out: the anchors in the live broadcast room brought goods like hawking, which were completely replicas of the stall owners in rural markets...
…
The history of Internet celebrities selling goods is much earlier than the history of Internet celebrities bringing goods.
Zhou Yan still vaguely remembers that two or three years later, a batch of "Internet celebrity" videos selling glue, shoes and silk graters suddenly appeared on the Internet. If traced back to the source, these "Internet celebrities" should be the originators of online live broadcasts to sell goods.
Already...
Seeing his son staring at the stall selling silk graters with a silly smile on his face, Father Zhou shook his head slightly: "Son, didn't you say that the cut silk is better?"
"I don't plan to buy it, I'm just watching the fun!" Zhou Yan curled his lips, opened his legs, and continued walking forward.
After walking for a while, Zhou Yan found that many people were staring at him intentionally or unintentionally. He turned around and looked around, and found that the small team formed by himself and his father was really a bit outstanding: the average height was less than 1.7 meters.
In rural areas, the father who is 1.8 meters tall is enough to attract attention. Add to that the height of 1.8 meters and myself...
Walking further, not far away is the entrance of Daji.
Near the entrance, a variety of snack stalls are scattered on both sides of the road.
The candied haws hawker is carrying a "mace", and the grass target in his arms is filled with all kinds of candied haws. The nearby stall sells steamed rice cakes, and the hawker is holding a polished shovel, cutting thick candied haws.
Thick thousand-layer rice cake...
Zhou Yan watched for a while and felt a little hungry. Just as he was about to take his wallet from his pocket, his father stopped him: "I'll do it!"
You can save money on DNA comparison.
The rice cake is steamed with glutinous rice and yellow rice, with plenty of sugar, and also mixed with red beans and red dates in the middle. It is full of color, flavor and flavor.
Take a bite, soft and waxy, still the same taste...
After three to five minutes, the father and son caught up with the large army at the vegetable market.
Although rural areas are said to be self-sufficient, in fact there are not many choices for vegetables in winter, and around 2008, vegetable greenhouses were not widely promoted. Therefore, the green leafy vegetables seen in history include leeks, spinach, and cucumbers.
, that is, only celery and coriander.
Mrs. Zhou Yan spent a long time picking, picked up a bunch of leeks from the stall, and handed them to the boss: "Weigh them!"
After weighing and paying, Zhou Yan’s wife turned out to be a plastic bag filled with leeks and handed it to Zhou Yan: “Let’s eat dumplings tonight!”
Zhou Yan glanced at the leeks in his hand, turned around and smiled at his father: "Dad, how about we grow our own vegetables, build a vegetable greenhouse, and grow whatever we want to eat in the winter!"
"I think it's okay!" The uncle on the side said happily, "Anyway, your family has a lot of space..."
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou Yan suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Yan: "Shitou, tell me what dish you want to choose!"
"Whatever, it's the same!"
Mrs. Zhou Yan rolled her eyes, reached out to pick up the arm-thick lotus root on the stall, and looked at Zhou Yan as if demonstrating: "How can this be delicious?"
Zhou Yan blurted out without thinking: "Fried lotus root box!"
"This..." I picked up a cauliflower.
"Vegetarian stir-fry, meat stir-fry, dry pot are also available..."
A group of people wandered around for a while, just bought some celery and onions and headed back.
Walking to the parking place, Father Zhou suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I forgot to buy the couplets!"
"Ding……"
The system beep sounded at an inappropriate time...
