silent farm

Chapter 22 I Forgot to Shake My Body
It turns out that Brazil has a very peculiar political habit, that is, it will issue an [amnesty] every ten years to allow illegal immigrants to become naturalized.Therefore, as long as stowaways are not repatriated during this period, it is easy to obtain citizenship here.

When the plane flew over the pasture, Li Sheng found someone busy building a house, and asked Babur, "Is the house not enough?"

"Zhang said that the pasture is too big. If everyone lives in the current wooden house area, the distance to the pasture area is too far and inconvenient. So I plan to build some wooden houses. Also, he said that some cowsheds may be built for cows in the future. For production."

Lin Ming felt that this idea was correct.There will be so many cows raised in the ranch in the future, it will take a lot of time to find those cows that are about to give birth.It would be much more convenient if they could be managed together.And older cows may not have to worry about the weather, but it is better for newborn calves to stay in the cowshed during the rainy season.However, that is what the cows produced are needed.It is a bit exaggerated to build a cowshed for all the cattle.And he believes that the cattle on the farm will not have problems due to the rainy season.

After the plane landed, he said to Babur: "Let that Zhang come to see me. I want to ask him what else the ranch can grow."

Babur found a walkie-talkie and called someone.

Soon a dark middle-aged Chinese man found Li Sheng.He knew that the young man in front of him was the boss, and the middle-aged man was a little cautious when meeting him for the first time.

"Your surname is Zhang?" Li Sheng said in Chinese.Look at this man with a square face. "I've been to Brazil for a long time."

Perhaps because he heard his native language, the middle-aged man relaxed a lot and said, "Boss, you can just call me Zhang Feng. I have been in Brazil for eight years. I have been working on a farm and herding cattle for others."

Li Sheng took him into his house, made him sit down, made a pot of tea and poured two cups, and said, "I can't find any good tea here, so let's make do with it."

Zhang Feng grinned and said, "The tea here is really not that good."

After Li Sheng also sat down, he said, "Lao Zhang, that's what I'll call you from now on."

"Row."

"Old Zhang, I asked you to come this time because I want to ask what else do you think can be raised here? For example, is it okay to raise sheep?"

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Boss, this is a tropical rainforest, so it's too hot. Animals with too long hair are not easy to raise. If you want to raise sheep, I don't think it's very suitable. If you want to raise goats, it's fine." Think about it. Goats are a little less efficient though."

Li Sheng didn't expect that this place was not suitable for raising sheep.He also thought about raising some sheep for both meat and wool.But goats are also good if you can raise them.

However, Zhang Feng put forward another idea: "Boss, we can also raise pigs. I have seen the pasture we grow, and I feel that it can also be used as pig grass. But it still needs to be fed."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "It's a bit troublesome to feed the feed. But if you feed sweet potatoes or corn, do you think it's okay?"

"Of course." Zhang Feng said with a smile. "Such pigs are the best. But there is another problem that raising pigs requires a special pigpen. If they are kept in free range, they like to dig into the ground and damage the pasture."

This is also a problem.Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then don't raise too many. If it's really difficult to deal with, just raise some for the ranch to eat."

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, then whispered, "Boss, we can actually breed a special type of pig."

"Special pig? What kind of special method?"

Zhang Feng hesitated and said: "I know a person. He got some [sperm] of fragrant pigs from China and brought them over. He used Brazilian mini pigs to breed a very long and good edible mini pig. The meat has a natural aroma, which is very good. But because he bred it secretly, he has never obtained the right to slaughter and sell it. Now he has [-] to [-] piglets on hand, but he can’t sell them. If the boss can solve the licensing problem , but this kind of pig can be bred.”

"Oh?" Li Sheng didn't like such things very much.This is also regarded as theft of national property rights, and it is regarded as an act of treason.Fortunately, it didn't cause too much harm. "Does he have a patent?"

"I heard that he applied for it, but it was not approved because it was a private research without permission." Zhang Feng sighed. "If he can get the patent, maybe he is also a big boss now."

Li Sheng was very interested in the fragrant pig: "Can you contact him now? If he wants to sell the piglets, I can buy all the pigs in his hand." However, he had no interest in that person. too much sympathy,
Zhang Feng originally meant to attract Li Sheng's attention and recruit his friends to the ranch.Although it is not a success now, his friend can sell those pigs, at least he will not lose his money: "Yes. I don't know what price the boss intends to buy. I can also talk to him."

Li Sheng originally wanted to lower the price, but after thinking about it, he finally said: "You said he has 1000 to [-] piglets, but I think there are only [-] to [-] pairs of breeding pigs. I can use [-] million reals Buy them all, but he must call out all the experimental data. And he must sign a contract not to produce this kind of fragrant pig in Brazil."

Zhang Feng opened his mouth.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Do you think I'm too domineering?" Regardless of the other party's answer, he continued. "He brought out animal products that are not allowed to be exported in China, and they may also be famous and high-quality animal breeds in China. This alone can be called traitorous. I gave him 1000 million because we are compatriots. Go. Otherwise, you can go to him when he is about to go bankrupt."

Zhang Feng opened his mouth, sighed after all, and said, "Okay. I will try my best to convince him." In fact, 1000 million reais, after paying taxes, is not a loss for his friend.

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "You should deal with this matter as soon as possible. You can put it down at the ranch first. If your friend is willing, give me a call."

Zhang Feng nodded, stood up and planned to leave.But Li Sheng stopped him and said, "Don't be too busy. Do you think we have anything else to support?"

"Those small lakes can actually raise fish." Zhang Feng sat down again and said. "But we don't have anyone who knows how to raise fish here. There are also water surfaces where you can raise ducks and geese. If there is plenty of pasture, you can also raise chickens." This is a bit of a small farmer's business thinking in China.

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "You don't need to raise too many chickens, just enough for the pasture to eat." If you want to raise chickens, you need to build a special breeding house, otherwise large-scale breeding will also cause great damage to the pasture. destruction. "I will specially draw out two small lakes to raise ducks and geese. They are the two near here. You can see how many you can raise." The main purpose of these two small lakes is to irrigate the planting area , so the fatter the water, the better.The other small lakes need to be used for drinking by the cattle, so it is not good to pollute them.

"The two lakes should have tens of thousands of acres. It should be no problem to raise 100 million ducks and 50 geese. You don't need to buy special feed. The pasture is enough. The pasture is thick and full of sugar. The small fish and shrimps are enough to meet their nutritional needs." Zhang Feng thought about it. "If the water is not very deep, you can also plant lotus roots in it."

"Then how much manpower do you think the ranch is short of?"

"For the grazing area, I heard that the ranch will raise 35 to 40 head of cattle, and I think at least [-] people will be needed. For the farming area, if combined machinery is used, I think there will be about [-] people. As for raising ducks and Goose, I think fifteen or six people is enough." Zhang Feng paused for a while. "Boss, if you want to raise ducks, geese, and fragrant pigs, I think it is enough to hire female workers. Many of our workers are married, and their wives can come with them. That way they can work with peace of mind. .”

Li Sheng also agrees with this.Life here is very closed.If you want to leave, you have to fly. If the family members of the employees also work here, it will be more stable.But there may also be some other problems: "This is no problem. As long as they are diligent enough. But in terms of management, you should also be careful not to have any conflicts."

"I will pay attention to this." Zhang Feng said with a smile.In fact, at his age, he also falls within the scope of the kind of person he just mentioned.Now his children are still studying in China, but his wife has come here. Although she is not an immigrant, she has also obtained a work visa.If the two husband and wife are separated, it will be difficult to take care of them in life.

"Then go get busy!"
