Chapter 544 This is not a farming society(1/2)
The weeds on the land behind the house have been cleared.
Luo Xuan gathered the weeds into piles and prepared to dry them for a few days before burning them off with fire.
Looking at the large area of bare wasteland, Luo Xuan took Zhang Xiaoli and tried to dig a small piece of land, intending to see its soil structure.
But I found that these lands were really barren. And they might still belong to the kind of land with a high alkali content.
If it is used to grow grain or vegetables, the yield will probably not be too high.
This requires continuous fertilization to improve the soil structure.
and,
There are many ants in the earthworms in these soils.
There are so many that it is almost a few dozen meters away that there will be an ant nest of different sizes.
When I opened the ant nest, I saw dense ants curled up underground and built one ant nest that looked like a wild beehive nest.
And the earthworm here is fat and big.
Many of the earthworms may be because they are too big, and they seem to have evolved a little hard shell on their bodies!
It's a bit like a centipede worm... hard.
It looks quite scary.
I don’t know whether these earthworms are beneficial insects or pests?
Or both:
It not only allows the soil to loosen the soil and increase fertility, but also harms the roots of the crops.
"Go and buy some chickens."
Luo Xuan pondered for a while,
He spoke, "Since there are so many ants nests and earthworms in the ground. Why don't we take advantage of the digging and find some high-protein feed for these chickens that are not expensive?"
Zhang Xiaoli nodded, "But have you ever thought that we raise so many chickens and ducks, and it will not be easy to sell them at that time."
Luo Xuan smiled slightly, "It's difficult to sell chickens and ducks, because the families in the village do not raise enough."
"And the mountain people in the village have another problem: their opinions are always inconsistent.
Today, Nazha wanted to go to the commune to sell chickens, but Zamu was drunk and didn't want to go to the market.
Or someone went to Zhafan's house to buy ducks. But Zhakuan's house was in a hurry to cross the Border River to buy cigarettes..."
Luo Xuan said, "This makes the Miao people who want to come to collect chickens and ducks in the village, but they are not very happy to come to this village to do business."
Zhang Xiaoli asked, "Na Luo Xuan, how many chickens, ducks and geese are you planning to raise?"
Luo Xuan thought for a while, "You and I are both majoring in animal husbandry. And when we came out, we brought some veterinary medicine here."
"So, I'm going to raise more. Now I'll go to the village first and buy a batch of chickens and ducks.
We should raise as much as we can buy! Anyway, we will go to the mountain and reclaim half of our mountain."
Luo Xuan explained: "At that time, so many earthworms and ants can be used as feed for chickens and ducks.
If you raise too little, all the high-protein feed will be wasted."
Zhang Xiaoli was a little worried, "But the people in the village said that it would be really not easy for them to sell chickens and ducks into cash."
Luo Xuan shook his head, "That's them themselves, setting obstacles for themselves. So much so that almost no one is willing to come to the village to buy chickens and ducks."
Seeing that Luo Xuan was confident, Zhang Xiaoli stopped talking.
Instead, he put down his work and took Najudi and Namu to the village, and went to buy chickens and ducks in a big way.
She didn't even have to ask Luo Xuan for the capital to buy chickens and ducks.
Zhang Xiaoli has many sisters and brother-in-laws.
When she came out to work in the country, the family sponsored her a lot of money.
Zhang Xiaoli,
She actually has a very slight view of money.
Adding this money, Luo Xuan is used to do serious business.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoli was willing to take out her private money and go to the village to buy chickens and ducks.
According to Luo Xuan’s plan:
If you raise chickens and ducks yourself, things will be easier after you reach a certain scale.
Either work harder yourself and take these chickens and ducks into the commune and sell them for a few days.
I can always sell out the chickens and ducks.
There is another way:
It is to discuss the price in advance with those economically wise peddlers and make an appointment for the time.
When they came here, they bought this batch of chickens and ducks at once.
Luo Xuan really doesn’t believe it: if you have poultry and livestock on your hands, how can you make money?
It's just a matter of price and the difference between time and time.
But the situation in the village is very different from that in my own place.
There is a little special there.
Just because of the people in the village, they are so free and casual!
And they are all born in the Year of the Ox, so stubborn!
The maoist with a little business acumen, others finally took time to travel through mountains and rivers to the village.
Purchase chickens and ducks for 2 yuan.
As a result, this store is often willing to sell 5 pieces.
There were chickens and ducks to be sold in that family, but at this time the man in his family didn't know where to go.
The man is not at home,
It involves money. The so-called mistress in their family cannot make the decision.
To put it even to an exaggeration: there are some women of age.
She may not even be able to distinguish the denomination of 2 yuan or 5 yuan...
However, some male owners at home think that the price of 2 yuan per chicken is too cheap.
I have to be stubborn at 2.8 yuan...
Even if the price of a chicken is 2 yuan and 1 cents, it was the price that the vendor had already agreed verbally with the owner of the house.
It's not a problem either.
Turning back on his face is common in the village, and no one can do anything to him...
Over time,
Those vendors who were vulnerable to come to this village to buy poultry and livestock.
This has caused this vicious cycle:
The chickens and ducks in the mountain people's homes are getting bigger and bigger, but the growth rate is getting slower and slower.
Eat more and gain less meat.
It's really not cost-effective to keep it up.
But if they want to turn all these chickens and ducks into cash, the vendors who buy chickens and ducks are unwilling to come to the village to do business.
If they work harder on their own, they can sell it on the commune street.
I have to wait for two days to talk about it.
I have to walk about 70 miles of mountain road.
During the journey, the mountain people even risked their lives to walk through the deep mountains and forests...
Finally, I sold 3 or 5 chickens and ducks, and I got about 10 or 8 yuan.
to be honest,
This little money is not enough for them to buy cigarettes, so they spent all the rice noodles...
So it took a long time,
The people in the village were too lazy to mention the chickens and ducks in their homes to the commune to sell them.
I worked hard to travel for two days and ran to the commune, and had to sleep for one night.
As a result, the chickens and ducks were gone and the money was gone...
Picture of yarn?!
To be continued...
