60s: I have a store

Chapter 357 Lin Guohuai's Knowledge

At this time, Zhou Yimin returned to the village with the huge sum of money he earned from selling chickens.

First, we found the old branch secretary. From a distance, we saw that the old branch secretary was accompanying a young man the whole time. It seemed that the young man was not an ordinary person, otherwise the old branch secretary would not have accompanied him personally.

He quickly stepped forward and greeted her: "Old Party Secretary."

When the old branch secretary saw Zhou Yimin, he said enthusiastically, "Yimin, this is the commune's livestock technician, Lin Guohuai."

Lin Guohuai had also heard of Zhou Yimin's name: "Comrade Zhou, hello!"

"Hello, Technician Lin!"

The two men greeted each other. After two days of observation, Lin Guohuai found that the method of raising chickens in Zhoujiazhuang was slightly different from that in other villages, but they were basically the same.

It shouldn't make such a big difference, but with a chick hatchery, this can be done. If it doesn't work, then we can attribute it to the credit of the chick hatchery.

Starting with the eggs, pick out all the eggs that are of poor quality or have other problems, and the chicks that hatch will be problem-free.

The villagers of Zhoujiazhuang know the reason, but they would never tell outsiders.

The three chatted for a while. Although it was a three-person chat, the old branch secretary never interrupted. It was Zhou Yimin and Lin Guohuai who were talking all the time, such as why they wanted to invent a chicken hatchery.
We forgot about time while chatting and it was already past five in the afternoon.

Zhou Yimin invited, "Brother Lin, why don't you have dinner at my house tonight?"

"Next time, I have to hurry back to report to my leader."

Lin Guohuai directly rejected Zhou Yimin's invitation. It was not that he wanted to go back to report, but he did not bring any food with him. If he ate other people's food, others would go hungry, which would be bad. His family had no shortage of food, so there was no need to cause trouble for others.

If he knew the food at Zhou Yimin's home, would he regret it?
Lin Guohuai said goodbye and rode his bicycle to the city. It was already off work when he returned to the commune, so he might as well go back directly. He had been doing this for the past two days and planned to go back tomorrow to report to his uncle.

By then, promoting the chick hatchery will be a great achievement, which will greatly increase the success rate of chick hatching.

After seeing Lin Guohuai leave, Zhou Yimin took out the money from selling the chickens and handed it to the old branch secretary.

"This is the money from selling chickens. It's 1500 yuan in total. Please count it, old Party Secretary."

The old branch secretary must have believed Zhou Yimin. He didn't want to click it at first, but Zhou Yimin said, "Now that brothers have settled accounts openly, if some villagers see it, it will be bad to gossip about it."

The old branch secretary also felt that what Zhou Yimin said made sense, so he clearly counted the 1500 yuan in front of Zhou Yimin.

These were all big black tens, so counting them was not difficult and I finished in a short while. I even counted them twice, for fear that I would make a mistake if I counted them once.

"Okay, the number is correct."

After hearing this, Zhou Yimin said: "It's fine as long as there is nothing wrong. Then I will go back first, old Party Secretary."

If he didn't go back early and wait for grandma to cook, he would have nothing to eat.

When Zhou Yimin returned home, he saw his grandmother cooking.

When the old man saw it, he said, "Old lady, put more rice in. Yimin is back."

When Zhou Yimin's grandmother heard that her grandson had returned, she hurried back. After confirming that it was really Zhou Yimin who had returned, she quickly put more rice in the pot, as if she was afraid that Zhou Yimin would be hungry.

The old man suddenly asked, "Yimin, why don't you come back earlier? If you were any later, we would have cooked."

If it were any other day, Zhou Yimin would have come back earlier for dinner and would not have been as extreme as he is today.

"I came back early today. When I was giving the money from selling chickens to the old branch secretary, I saw people from the commune and chatted with them for a while." The old man heard Zhou Yimin's explanation. He had heard about people from the commune but had never met them.

While the grandfather and grandson were chatting, grandma prepared the meal.

The two of them helped quickly and soon brought the food to the table.

The old man couldn't wait to take out the wine: "Old lady, Yimin is back today, can I drink a little more?"

"You see, I haven't had a drink with Yimin in a long time."

"Grandpa, we just finished drinking it a few days ago." Zhou Yimin didn't want to help and directly exposed the old man.

Zhou Yimin's grandmother was not so easily fooled: "That's right, Yimin is right."

"You lied to me this time, so you won't have any more wine for today. If there's a next time, it won't be just one day without wine."

After saying that, he snatched the wine from the old man's hand and placed it in front of him.

The old man was speechless when he saw his empty hands. He could only look at Zhou Yimin with a look for help.

Zhou Yimin still agreed with his grandmother's decision, saying that people should drink less alcohol. Then he replied to the old man with a helpless look.

Then he started to eat. When the old man saw this, he knew there was nothing he could do. He could only turn his grief and anger into food intake and ate one more bowl of rice than usual.

When I woke up, it was the next day. The first thing I did when I got up was to go to the store and buy 100 kilograms of peanut oil, kilograms of Wuchang rice, pieces of cloth, and kilograms of pork.

Just when Zhou Yimin and his grandparents were having breakfast, the old branch secretary brought Zhou Zhiming to their home.

Seeing that Zhiming was having breakfast, he wanted to go out, but Zhou Yimin stopped him: "Old Party Secretary, you brought Zhiming here, what's the matter?"

"Yimin, didn't you say before that we can grow vegetables in greenhouses? I just want to ask, how do we do it?"

The old branch secretary talked about the reasons for his future career.

"So, have you had breakfast yet?"

The old Party secretary and Zhou Zhiming both answered, "We have eaten."

In order not to keep the old branch secretary and his companions waiting for too long, Zhou Yimin ate a little and followed them out.

Soon the three of them arrived at the river, where a large shed had been built.

When we walked into the greenhouse, we found that it was much warmer inside. No wonder children like to play here. There is a large space and it is warmer than outside.

"Yimin, how do we grow vegetables in this greenhouse?" the old branch secretary asked directly?
The weather outside is still so cold that we can’t grow vegetables at all. It would be a waste to keep this greenhouse here. We might as well make use of it, which can also help the village earn more income.

Zhou Yimin felt it for a moment and said, "The temperature here is not high enough. It seems that we need to add some heating equipment."

The old branch secretary and Zhou Zhiming both felt that the temperature here was quite warm, but since Zhou Yimin said so, it proved that it was not warm enough.

"Yimin, how do we install the supplementary heating equipment?" Zhou Zhiming asked.

When I heard the name of this equipment, it sounded like a very expensive device. If it is very expensive, I don’t know if the village has enough money!
