The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 312: A Fortune without Hair
The idea of ​​opening game rooms in multiple cities has not been realized, mainly because it is too time-consuming and it is not convenient to hire someone to look after the store. This is not a retail product, there is no specific account, the more people play, the more income, and the fewer people play, the less income.

It was too easy to hire someone to look after the store and cook the books. The profit of a store was acceptable to others. But Jiang Cheng didn't want to run around for such a small amount of money, but he still tried it.

Jiang Cheng bought two bungalows near where he lived, and then asked someone to connect them up and do some simple renovations.

Nowadays, many houses on both sides of the street do not have any storefronts, unlike in later generations when almost all houses on both sides of the street are used as storefronts.

When the Street Fighter game came out, Jiang Cheng was so bored that he would play it for a while. He basically complained while playing, and it was nothing compared to the later boxing champion game.

This year, Jiang Lin, the nephew of Jiang Cheng, has completely made it big. With the help of his family, Jiang Lin finds it easy to do breeding.

Isn't it just feeding chickens, letting them grow up and lay eggs, and then selling some chickens for meat? Raising dozens of chickens is no different, raising hundreds of chickens is no different, and even raising thousands of chickens is no different, which Jiang Lin doesn't think is a big deal.

Jiang Lin was mainly comparing himself with the pig farmers in the nearby town, and also with his aunt and uncle who had become rich after being brought out by Jiang Cheng.

A chicken farm can raise thousands of chickens. Even if the price is around three yuan per chicken, by selling them and replenishing the chickens, the company can generate an annual income of tens of thousands of yuan.

You can't raise a thousand chickens, you only have these thousand chickens for the whole year. Usually, you sell a batch of eggs when the chickens grow up, and you can sell several batches of chickens a year.

But even when Jiang Lin's gross profit reached about 10,000 yuan, he was still not satisfied and spent money to expand the chicken farm.

But to be honest, rural people tend to be petty. With an income of nearly 10,000 yuan a year, even without deducting some costs, it is considered very wealthy in the city, and it is considered a large chicken farmer in the countryside.

But Jiang Lin was reluctant to hire people just to expand the chicken farm. Ordinary people who feed the chickens rely on his mother and grandparents, not to mention spending money to hire professionals to raise the chickens.

I hired two older people and paid them ten yuan a month. But they had never raised chickens before, and they just fed them.

Anyway, there are too many chickens and they are too densely packed together, so chicken droppings are everywhere and it is impossible to clean them up. The key is that Jiang Lin built a chicken farm without any equipment to wash the ground and keep it clean.

There is no running water, so people have to go to the nearby river to fetch water for washing, but it is not clean at all. It is impossible to wash it every day, unless you hire someone else. You can only wash the aisle on weekdays and do a thorough cleaning every few days.

Anyway, the chicken farm stinks, but no one thinks it is a big deal.

During the Chinese New Year, chickens were easy to sell and the price was high. Jiang Lin was smart enough to raise a large number of chickens in the fall, thinking that he could make some money by raising them for a few months just before the Chinese New Year.

Then~~, the so-called wealth does not count if it is hairy.

Jiang Lin didn't know how to raise chickens, nor did his mother Li Xianglan and Zhao Yuxia. Raising a few chickens in the countryside was completely different from raising chickens on a large scale.

The density is too high, and they are all locked up together. Chickens are cheaper, and unlike pigs, they are not vaccinated. There are too many chickens, and they are locked up, so they are basically fed antibiotics.

Anyway, in November, after a heavy rain, the chickens at Jianglin Chicken Farm were like they had a cold. Many chickens huddled in a corner and didn’t eat much even when fed.

A few days later, they started dying in large numbers. When they first started dying, Jiang Lin didn't pay much attention to it. He even brought them home for everyone to eat and even sold them cheaply.

But in the countryside, people usually don't buy chickens for no reason, and they buy live chickens. Dead chickens that are not bled out immediately after death are prone to spoilage and have a fishy taste.

In addition, there are now many people in rural areas who raise a few chickens on their own. These chickens are easy to sell during festivals and New Year in rural areas, and they have to be taken to the county town to be sold.

So Jiang Lin didn't sell much. He ate some himself and gave some away.

But soon they found something wrong, chickens were dying every day. Even the dumbest and most ignorant people knew that the chickens had contracted fowl plague and were all sick.

This kind of thing basically meant that the whole family had spent two years in vain. Even the money Jiang Cheng borrowed was wasted, but the key point was that Jiang Lin was unwilling to accept it.

When people were pushed into a corner, they could come up with a clever idea. Jiang Lin simply ordered people to kill all the chickens, or turn the newly dead chickens into white-striped chickens, and then ran to the county town to sell the chicken.

People in this era had no awareness of prevention. The slaughtered chickens were all meat, without internal organs or hair. You could buy one for a little over one yuan, and many people bought it, just to improve the family's food.

Then there are problems with eating. Some people have strong physical fitness, so they can just eat a little inappropriately and they can handle it. But those around me who are not in good condition eat more.

I had a fever and went to the hospital. Because most of them were from the same county, the county hospital suddenly found that there were a lot of people with fever recently, and the symptoms kept coming back during treatment. I was so scared that I reported it to the city hospital and asked experts to come for consultation.

I was afraid it was some kind of epidemic fever, something contagious. Otherwise, how could so many people suddenly have the same symptoms in a county?

People from the city came and found something wrong. First of all, this doesn't seem to be a contagious disease, because if it was contagious, the hospital didn't take any protective measures at the beginning, and no one was infected by contact with the patient.

In addition, the repeated fever symptoms made the experts from the city realize that he had eaten something contaminated with the plague, such as sick pork or poultry.

Then through questioning, they identified the chicken sold by Jiang Lin.

This was the right medicine for the disease, and the patient recovered quickly. But Jiang Lin had to compensate the patient for medical expenses and lost wages.

In addition, whether or not the issue of selling sick chickens should be held more deeply responsible is also an issue that needs to be discussed.

But first of all, those who had problems after eating the chicken should not hold Jiang Lin responsible.

As luck would have it, Jiang Lin was stuck at the age of sixteen, neither too old nor too young. Even if he was one year younger, it would be difficult to hold him accountable for other responsibilities.

But at the age of sixteen, considering that this incident did not cause any serious problems, the higher-ups planned to wait for Jiang Lin to show some positive performance before making any decision.

This positive performance is to compensate everyone and gain the understanding of those who are hospitalized.

In this case, even if Jiang Lin took out all the money he earned from selling sick chickens, there would still be a big difference.

Jiang Lin was naturally afraid of being locked up, so he definitely wanted to compensate everyone, but he had no other options except to ask his uncle for a loan.

The key point of Jiang Lin is that he is a bit of a bully now. He is honest to outsiders, but for this matter, he actually blames his mother and grandparents.

He said that they didn't help to raise the chickens well, so the chicken plague broke out. He couldn't be blamed entirely on him, so he had to ask Uncle Jiang Cheng to help pay for it, and they all had to go.

This is Jiang Lin's own money, and he doesn't usually pay his family wages. But when he does make money, he does give some money to his family during the New Year and other festivals, but that money is definitely not as much as his wages.

Now that there is a problem and we are going to lose money, it is everyone's responsibility. But Jiang Lin's mother and grandparents do feel a little guilty. How could the chickens that were raised so well suddenly all die of illness?

Changcheng, compound, Jiang family.

"What? All the chickens died of disease and were taken to the county town to be sold." Jiang Cheng said in shock as he looked at his parents, sister-in-law and nephew Jiang Lin.

"We didn't know this would happen. Xiaolin wanted to make up for some of his losses, so he took the goods to the county town to sell them." Jiang Changhe responded.

In the past, in rural areas, chickens and pigs that died of disease were eaten, and no one said they were burned or buried. So when Jiang Lin said he would take care of the dead and dying chickens and sell them in the county town, his family didn't take it seriously.

This is why he is selling chickens. Because there are no freezing conditions now, there are no slaughtered and skinned chickens on the market. Otherwise, Jiang Lin would not have planned to sell them cheaply.

In the past, in rural areas, if the pigs adopted by the production team or individuals got sick and could not be cured, they would be killed and sold for meat. This kind of thing is not very common in rural areas, but Jiang Lin raised more this time and more people sold it.

If the sick chicken is stewed well and cooked at high temperature, it is not a serious disease and there is really no problem eating it. But so many people buy it, some people do not cook it thoroughly, and how many people waste food nowadays. They may chew and eat any bones that can be chewed.

So not everyone had problems this time, only some people with poor physical constitution or who ate the food that was not cooked thoroughly had problems.

Jiang Cheng didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he didn't even come to the city to tell him at first. If he knew, he would definitely not let them sell sick chickens.

It was just a loss of a few thousand dollars, Jiang Cheng had never thought that chicken plague would happen. He had thought breeding was too simple, so when Jiang Lin wanted to expand, he just thought raising chickens was good, and he could help deal with as many as he could.

But Jiang Cheng didn't expect that the chickens would be infected with chicken plague, and the key point was that he still sold the sick chickens.

Fortunately, there are fewer people who are extorted these days. If such a situation happened in the future, a person would have to spend tens of millions just to get checked out in the hospital, and to pay for treatment, lost wages, mental damages, etc. For such an accident, it would be difficult to escape.

Now we basically just pay for the medical expenses, and the problem can be solved by paying a dozen or dozens of dollars to each person.

"Chengzi, you have to help your nephew again. If you don't pay the money, the situation may become serious." Zhao Yuxia said in embarrassment.

If Jiang Cheng was not rich, rural people would basically be left with nothing and their lives if they were to face such a thing. But if they were to be locked up for a few years, they would not be able to hold their heads up when they came out.

It doesn't matter what the reason is for someone to be in jail. Nowadays, if you hear that someone has been in jail, you will stay away from him.

"Mom, don't worry about this. I didn't say I won't help. It's just that after this incident, what are Jiang Lin's plans? What do you plan to do with the chicken coop over there?" Jiang Cheng replied helplessly.

They didn't do anything that was against the will of Heaven and Earth, at least in this era, selling sick pigs and chickens was not considered as against the will of Heaven and Earth. Because they themselves did not realize the seriousness of the situation, if they dared to do such a thing in the future, they would have to throw away their ancestors' graves if they sold sick poultry.

At least Jiang Lin didn't know the harm of selling sick chickens, and his family knew about it, but no one tried to stop him. This shows that they didn't know enough about it. If Jiang Cheng took it too far, it would be a bit too much.

Now that such a problem has arisen, what else can Jiang Cheng do if he doesn't pay to solve it? Whether Jiang Lin is imprisoned or not, the money should be given to him.

"Uncle, I still want to raise chickens, but I didn't do it well this time. I won't do it again next time."

Jiang Cheng was discussing this matter with his parents and sister-in-law. Jiang Lin has become arrogant in the past two years. When something like this happened, he actually thought he had the right to interfere.

Raising chickens for nothing, this nephew is even better at being a hands-off boss than Jiang Cheng. He set up a chicken farm and thought he was a big boss. He only made serious efforts when the farm was slowly developing last year.

Jiang Lin has rarely gotten up early this year. Every day, his family would go to the chicken farm early in the morning to get busy.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng also realized that without the guidance of professional technicians, the breeding business might lose everything if something went wrong.

If they continue to raise chickens and let Jiang Lin continue to be a hands-off boss, Jiang Cheng might as well invest in his sister-in-law and let her pay her son a salary to help feed the chickens.

Jiang Lin has lost so much money now, plus the money he borrowed before, at least half a tabuluo is gone. Jiang Lin lost half a millionaire, and he still has the nerve to say he wants to continue raising chickens.

How can we support him? Jiang Cheng has to continue paying for it.

Jiang Cheng asked this now because Jiang Lin was already sixteen years old, and he wouldn't be too young to work or do anything else. If he didn't arrange for him to go, Jiang Cheng knew that his parents would bother him.

Seeing that his uncle Jiang Cheng ignored him, Jiang Lin lowered his head in confusion. He suddenly felt that he was nothing in front of his uncle.

The self-righteousness and arrogance of the past two years were instantly gone. After all, in front of his uncle and family, Jiang Lin didn't have the guts to say that he could be self-reliant.

For some reason, Jiang Lin thought of his sister Jiang Juan again. Why would his uncle be so good to his sister? She was a woman who was going to marry out.

Jiang Changhe began to discuss with Jiang Cheng how to deal with the chicken farm in his hometown. Everyone could see that Jiang Cheng was no longer in favor of raising chickens, or raising other animals.

Jiang Changhe and Zhao Yuxia are old, and even his sister-in-law Li Xianglan is almost 40 years old. They are not well educated, and they don't want to go to school to learn about farming.

Besides, it was Jiang Lin who started raising chickens in the first place when he ran to the city to ask Jiang Cheng for money. Now that he had borrowed the money, he couldn't stop. But this business has really worn out the whole family.

Jiang Changhe and Zhao Yuxia were both at an age where they could enjoy their lives. With a son like Jiang Cheng, their daughter and son-in-law would also have a promising future. They could also live in their son's apartment in the countryside.

I usually grow some vegetables and take care of the land, and my life is quite leisurely.

Just because his grandson wants to raise chickens, everyone is busy and has to get up early every day.

In the past two years, people in the village and town have praised Jiang Lin, saying that he has made so much money by running a chicken farm. He is a big chicken farmer and so on. This has really earned face for his family.

Now that this has happened, Jiang Changhe and Zhao Yuxia really feel relieved.

"Chengzi, Xiaolin can't do much work in the countryside at his age. The family only has one acre of land, and this kind of land is not suitable." Sister-in-law Li Xianglan said.

"As for him, I'll find him a job after the New Year. Jiang Yang will graduate from junior high school next year, and he's not good at studying anyway. I'll go talk to the school next year and see if they can issue him a diploma. It doesn't matter whether he takes the junior high school entrance exam or not."

Jiang Cheng said that he had built a game room and originally planned to hire someone to look after it. Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang were both scumbags in their studies anyway, and Jiang Cheng didn't want them to bother Jiang Juan, who was his big cow and horse and had to be in the front.

Let Jiang Lin and Jiang Yang look after the game room, of course it is not enough to just give them the game room and pay them wages. After all, Jiang Cheng still runs the game room behind the scenes, at most one more person can be assigned to go to the game room to collect the money, Jiang Cheng simply does not show up.
