1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 139: It’s just a chicken, right? Who can’t afford it?
The next day, Su Wenchen lay down at home all day.

After all, he was actually quite tired during this period of time.

In addition, most of the members have withdrawn and started preparing for the autumn harvest.

So there is basically nothing to do at the chicken farm.

Moreover, with experienced technicians like Hou Guozhong looking after the situation, it is unlikely that large-scale problems will occur with the chicks.

This is also the reason why Su Wenchen felt at ease going out.

Because once the chicken farm grows bigger, it will be basically impossible for him to be away for ten days or half a month like he is now.

And he himself might not have felt reassured at that time.

noon.

Su's mother also knew that her youngest son had been working hard during this period, and the autumn harvest was about to come.

She also wanted to provide nutritional supplements for her family, so she walked towards Su Wenchen with several dollars in her hand.

"Youngest, I see your chickens don't lay many eggs. It's just right to kill two of them to provide for the whole family."

"I'm giving this money to Li Yatou, but she won't take it. You take it. After all, we have our elder brother and second brother's families, and they can't eat your money for free."

Su Wenchen was a little hesitant when he heard this.

"Mom, why don't you not kill them? I've raised these chickens for a long time. Why not sell them?"

As he said this, he looked at the hens in the chicken coop.

These hens were the first assets he acquired when he divided his family property. However, now these assets can no longer provide him with added value.

So he can’t keep raising chickens forever, after all, it takes up his family’s chicken quota.

But when he ate it, he still felt a little strange. After all, he had given it a name, fed it with his own hands for a long time, and invested a little bit of emotion in it.

Su Wenchen finally decided to just sell it! As for raising it until it dies, that was definitely impossible.

After all, eggs every day are an important source of nutrition for him and Jiang Li, and he is not yet at the stage where he can eat meat freely.

Therefore, hens that do not lay eggs have no value to him in raising.

Hearing Su Wenchen's words.

Although Su's mother was a little surprised that her youngest son could suddenly live a good life, she didn't say much since it was a good thing after all.

"Okay, since you want to sell it, just sell it to your mother. It's just right that we can kill all five of them and replenish our family."

Su Wenchen was slightly speechless.

"Mom, what I mean is that we should sell these five discarded old hens, and then kill the roosters you adopted from the brigade's chicken farm to supplement our family."

Su Wenchen actually adopted five roosters at the beginning, but he had killed and eaten his own a long time ago.

Anyway, just give the money to the brigade’s chicken farm.

When Su's mother heard this, she immediately started nagging at Su Wenchen.

"I was wondering why you changed your personality! So you were waiting for your mother!"

"You've eaten all the five that you adopted at the beginning, and you're going to eat the five that your mother raised?"

"It's such a waste to eat such an expensive rooster yourself. You are getting picky and picky now. You have to eat roosters when you want to eat meat. You have been spoiled by this good life."

Father Su interrupted.

"Okay, kill two! We don't eat them every day. Isn't the youngest going on a business trip tomorrow? We'll start the autumn harvest the day after tomorrow, so give them all some to replenish everyone."

"You can just get two roosters from the brigade's chicken farm to make up for it later."

Then he looked at Su Wenchen.

"Youngest, since you're planning to sell all your hens, I'll go and inform the people in our team."

"Life in our team is much better now. During these two days of rest before the autumn harvest, everyone is willing to buy some meat to replenish their energy."

"But the morning market has been closed these days, and even bones are not available at the butcher shop. The discarded chickens from the chicken farm have all been bought up by the members."

Obviously, Father Su was a little surprised that the members were so willing to spend money.

However, Su Wenchen knew the general situation.

After all, the reason why the members dare to spend so much money is that they have the huge income from the brigade’s chicken farm to back it up.

After a state-owned chicken farm was built in the back, the brigade sent members to work there, and the state-owned chicken farm had to settle payments to the brigade.

In addition, Su Wenchen also provided meals, which invisibly saved the members some food.

Now, many members see that the chicken farms are becoming more and more prosperous, and the grain in the fields is about to be harvested. For many members, spending a few dollars to buy a discarded chicken to eat is not a problem.

In the final analysis, the expectations are sufficient, and everyone knows that life will get better and better in the future, so naturally they are willing to spend money.

After Su's father spread the news.

Immediately, several families came with money.

One hens for each family, and all five old hens were soon taken away.

Even later when I realized that I had arrived late, I felt a little upset. After all, all the old hens that didn't lay eggs in the team had been basically sold out.

Throughout the afternoon, amid the smoke rising from the brigade's kitchens, the smell of chicken filled many homes.

This has aroused the cravings of families who originally did not plan to buy a chicken for their diet.

Especially when taking a break after a meal.

Those who ate meat at home kept showing off how delicious and fragrant the meat was. For many members, a good life is achieved through comparison. If their family ate meat and didn't say a few words outside, the meat would be considered eaten in vain.

Those who didn’t buy the chicken were naturally unwilling to give up.

We are all from the same team, it's just a chicken, isn't it? Who can't afford it?

eat! Must eat!
Our team doesn’t have those old hens that don’t lay eggs, but other teams must have them!
So the entire commune was shocked by the actions in Ping Village.

It also let the entire commune know that Ping Village had really made a fortune.

Many people even say with certainty that Pingcun Brigade is now richer than Hulin Brigade, which was the richest brigade in the entire commune, and that people there eat chicken and eggs for every meal.

This made many people's eyes turn red with envy, and they began to blame the leaders of their own team.

How come the brigade leaders have led the members to develop so many industries?

All they knew how to do was dig for food in the fields, and they couldn't wait to turn around and join the Pingcun team.

It is obvious that Su Wenchen's original choice was correct, as only their family would live a particularly good life.

Then he is like a candle burning in the dark night, dazzling but weak, and many people will rush over to extinguish his candlelight.

But if the whole brigade lives a good life, it will be like a camp with a burning bonfire.

At this time, most people will think about how to join them.

However, Su Wenchen was not aware of the commotion caused by Pingcun Brigade.

Because at this time he had already boarded the green train to Shanghai.

In the private room of the sleeper car, Su Wenchen looked around curiously at the soft sleeper cars of this era.

Su Wenchen took a general look at the bunks, which were relatively spacious and came with a small table and wall lamp, and the bedding was clean.

There are four beds in the private room, located on both sides. One of the two beds is an upper or lower bunk bed.

At this time, the lower bunk on the left was already occupied, and it seemed that he was someone who had boarded the bus a long time ago.

Su Wenchen was quite satisfied with this kind of private room. Apart from anything else, the probability of things being stolen was greatly reduced, because there were at most four people in a private room, and it would be easy to find out who did it.

Also, you don’t have to smell all kinds of messy odors.

No wonder when he went to buy the ticket, he had to show his letter of introduction and work ID before the other party sold him the soft sleeper ticket.

It seems that if you are an ordinary person, it may be difficult to buy a soft sleeper ticket.

Xu Xiangqian, who was following Su Wenchen and carrying something, also walked over with a curious look on his face and touched the bunk.

"Captain, this is not a carriage at all! It's more like a small room. Look at this bed, it's much softer than the kang at home."

"Sleeping here at night is like sleeping on a cloud!"

Su Wenchen also smiled and walked towards the two bunks on the right.

"Put your stuff under the bunk and sleep on the top bunk! I'll let you experience what it's like to sleep on a cloud."

A middle-aged man sitting opposite with a book in his hand was also looking at the two young men making the beds with some curiosity.

After all, from the address just now, one person called another the factory director?

When did Lan City have such a young factory director?

Thinking of this, he also became curious.

"Comrades, are you going on a business trip to Shanghai?"

Hearing the question, Su Wenchen turned around, took a look, and nodded with a smile.

"I'm going on a business trip to buy some things for the farm."

Hearing Su Wenchen say this, the other party immediately opened up.

"You are going to purchase machinery, right? Tell me and I'll give you some advice. After all, I know everything about the factories in Shanghai."

"If you can prescribe the right medicine, purchasing problems are generally not a big deal."

Su Wenchen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect to be so lucky to meet a local.

"Brother, we are going to Plastic Factory No. 7 to purchase some plastic foam with thermal insulation effect."

"I don't know what the situation is at Factory 7 now."

Hearing Su Wenchen's words, the other party was a little puzzled.

"Plastic Factory No. 7? Doesn't that produce thermos stoppers? When did they start producing foam?"

Su Wenchen nodded.

"Yes, they mainly produce thermos stoppers, but they also have the ability to produce plastic foam with thermal insulation effect."

"We heard that the insulation used in the cold storages of several large food factories was produced by them."

Hearing this, the other party pondered for a moment and shook his head at Su Wenchen.

"In that case, you might have made a wasted trip. Unless the food factory has a demand, they probably won't open a production line for you alone."

"To put it bluntly, this kind of thing will probably only be produced if they are given a hard task by the Shanghai Planning Commission."

"But if you are talking about a cold storage facility, then they definitely can't keep producing. Only when the food factory needs it, will they start producing some."

"So I think unless the food factory happens to need it, then it is possible for them to produce it for you after opening the production line, otherwise."

The other party shook his head and didn't say anything else.
