1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 131 From now on, he has the final say in this film!
Because the items were delivered yesterday afternoon.

This morning he needed to organize a group of people to build a shed to shelter the supplies from the rain.

We also need to build a big stove and a shed, as hundreds of people will be eating here at noon every day.

After Su Wenchen assigned all the tasks.

The three of them got ready immediately and began to work in a division of labor.

Soon, the entire open space became busy.

Sisters-in-law Li Xiaohe and Jiang Li also came over to collect the bowls after seeing that everyone on Su Wenchen's side had left.

Before Li Xiaohe came, Su Wenzhang had given her specific instructions.

You can’t call me the youngest in the group like everyone else when you’re outside.

After all, everyone in the team knows each other, and there are actually not so many rules for many things.

But it’s different outside, so Su Wenzhang specifically told her to call the director the same as everyone else at the chicken farm.

So Li Xiaohe felt a little awkward.

But she also understood what her man meant.

After all, she will have to rely on the youngest brother for support in the future!

So I asked directly.

"Captain, what are we going to do about lunch? Section Chief Miao said last night that we're going to have corn paste for breakfast, and that it's only for the militia that comes to patrol at night and a few people at the chicken farm."

"I only have one meal at noon, but I have to take care of all the people who come to work. I can't cook for hundreds of people by myself!"

Su Wenchen was a little surprised to hear the name sister-in-law, and after hearing what the other party said.

Turned to look at Jiang Li.

"Secretary Jiang, would it be okay for your Pingcun Brigade to send a few more members to help with cooking?"

"After all, if you come here to work, you can have a free lunch. The members of our team are very happy about it!"

When Jiang Li heard this, she smiled and looked at Su Wenchen.

"The members are really eager for this, but the number of people going to work will decrease."

"If our brigade had not just finished harvesting potatoes, we wouldn't be able to squeeze in all these people now."

"But we can have a few more members. You have to go to our brigade to purchase vegetables and other things for your chicken farm."

"Especially potatoes, how about just helping us clean out the ones that were originally in the warehouse?"

Obviously, Jiang Li wanted to help Su Wenchen.

But she also has to consider the interests of the brigade. After all, she is still the nominal head of Pingcun Brigade.

When Su Wenchen heard this, he was speechless.

"You're not planning on selling last year's potatoes from our brigade warehouse to our chicken farm!"

Jiang Li grinned, revealing a pair of small fangs, and said with a smile.

"Yes, you see, the potatoes have just been harvested this year. If we sell the potatoes we harvested last year to the grain depot now, the price will be too low."

"And are you still worried about our team? They are all well cleaned up, and basically no sprouts have appeared."

"Besides, most of it is eaten by our team. We eat the same thing at home!"

Su Wenchen thought about it and nodded.

"That's fine! But let me make it clear first, the price will at most be a little higher than the grain warehouse, after all, the new potatoes are harvested."

"We can't buy these harvested potatoes at the price of new potatoes!"

As for the sprouting problem, Su Wenchen was not really worried, because it was very common for the potatoes harvested at this time to sprout some small sprouts.

After all, there is no way to compare storage technology with the future.

Generally, the buds and green parts are directly dug out with a knife, and the other parts can be peeled and eaten normally.

Mainly because during this period, potatoes were mostly used to make stews, and the toxin level was actually not that high if stewed for a long time.

Unless the potatoes have sprouted and turned green, it is absolutely impossible to throw them away.

Jiang Li was not disappointed when she heard Su Wenchen's words.

"Okay, I'll go back now and ask a few aunts to come over. Will the potatoes and vegetables be delivered today?"

Su Wenchen nodded.

"Sure, just bring it over when they come."

"Sister-in-law, you can arrange this later. Tell the members of the brigade who are going to sell vegetables what dishes to cook for lunch every day in advance."

"It's better to negotiate that one company will deliver in one day, so that there won't be a gap in supply. When they deliver, you can just ask Lao Feng for a note."

"We will settle the bill once a month according to the receipt, Secretary Jiang, is that ok with that?"

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, I think Director Su's arrangement is good, I will go back and tell the members about it, I believe they will not refuse, I will go back and tell them the good news now."

As she said this, she waved to Su Wenchen and prepared to go back. Along the way, she felt that she had done another good thing for the members.

Su Wenchen also smiled and looked at the other person's back.

As for members who refused?
Su Wenchen was not really worried, because in the several brigades around them, few people would send their vegetables to the county morning market to sell.

Just like when Su Wenchen carried a basket of eggs to sell.

I took it there early in the morning, but when I got there, the stalls at the morning market had already closed.

Things like his eggs are okay, at worst I can just take them back and go back the next day.

But the same cannot be said for vegetables. After a day, they become less juicy and have to be sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives at extremely low prices.

Otherwise it will be even harder to sell in the future.

The supply and marketing cooperatives keep the prices of vegetables very low.

Therefore, in the county, the business of selling vegetables at the morning market is usually monopolized by several brigades that are close to the county.

In these remote brigades, the vegetables grown in the vegetable fields are usually eaten by themselves, and the excess is fed to chickens and pigs.

It's mainly in their rural areas. Vegetables are really not valuable in summer and autumn.

If the distance is too far and there is no means of transportation, there is no way to sell it.

Vegetables are valuable in winter, and you even need vegetable tickets to buy them. However, without greenhouses, basically no brigade can grow vegetables.

However, Su Wenchen thought about the greenhouse.

If I get the chance in the future, I could find a plastic factory that can produce plastic film and give it a try.

After all, off-season vegetables are always in short supply.

But in this era, chemical materials like plastic film are very difficult to deal with.

For Su Wenchen, this period was not like the future, when he could just search online to find out which manufacturer produced what.

Nowadays, getting information largely depends on luck.

This is also why he said that in this era, connections are very important.

If you don’t have any connections at this time, you really can’t find out any information.

Moreover, Su Wenchen’s goal has always been to develop into a large-scale integrated farm, integrating planting, breeding and agricultural product processing.

He will have to deal with these sooner or later.

We just have to take it slow. Maybe in the end it can be developed into a large-scale integrated farm covering hundreds of thousands of acres like the Shuanghe Farm in Beijing and the Farm in Shanghai.

After all, they now occupy dozens of acres of land, isn’t it just a difference of ten thousand words compared to the previous two?

He can just add in the ten thousand words later.

From now on, he will have the final say on this film.

Imagine the future.

Su Wenchen returned to reality and looked at the large circle of open space that had been cleared around him.

Together with various members, they began to move materials and prepare to build a few temporary houses.

The surroundings were full of busy and noisy scenes.

Su Wenchen shook his head, feeling quite helpless.

"Sure enough, reality is cruel!"

"I'd better not think about making up that ten thousand words for now, I'd better take care of my chickens first!"

"After all, whether we can have a good year this year depends entirely on them."

Just at this time, Lao Miao's son Miao Zhiguo ran over.

"Captain, Captain."

"Section Chief Feng asked me to go with you to the Hulin Brigade to ask if we can get some wood back to make beams for the house."

"Shu, the team leader of the production team that came to work here from several brigades, said that the brigades here don't have much wood reserves. I guess there might be insufficient wood for furniture making over there."

"And the guy who built the shed over there also said that we need to use wood for the pillars."

Su Wenchen nodded when he heard this.

"Come on! Then come with me to take a look over there!"

As expected, the initial stage of starting a business is the most difficult, even though he received a lot of funding from the city.

But there are still many things that require you to deal with yourself.

He is a field manager, but now he is almost a transporter.
