silent farm

Chapter 57 The Novice Farmer
It took more than three hours to make a cover that I don't know if it can pass the review while watching the tutorial... PS is really difficult.

In fact, Li Ming thought too much.

There are certain enzymes in the saliva or mucus of some snails, which will have some chemical reactions on certain plants, making those plants more palatable and easier to absorb.It is said that the white jade agate snail has such enzyme secretion.

So, that's totally scientific stuff.It has nothing to do with space. If anything, the enzymes secreted by the snails raised on the farm are more powerful.

He flipped through the informal feasibility report, and said: "All he asked for was met. As long as you try your best, it doesn't matter if you succeed or not, just do your best." The most important thing is to have an innovative spirit.

Zhang Feng nodded and said, "I'll notify him later."

After dealing with this matter, Li Sheng asked Anthony again: "How about the farm's material reserves?"

The rainy season is coming soon, and some necessary things must be stored, such as some medicines, some work consumables and labor insurance supplies, which can be stored for a long time.As for food, these farms themselves can last for a long time.As long as those things are adequately prepared, there is no need to specially replenish them during the rainy season.

Anthony said softly, so as not to wake up the daughter in his arms: "The supplies are sufficient, even if the rainy season is extended for a month or two, there will be no problem."

"Lee, I think we need a doctor," Thomas said suddenly. "There are more than 200 people on the farm now, and it's too far away from the hospital. Some people have a sudden illness. If it's the dry season, the plane can still be used. If it's the rainy season, it may be delayed. If there is a doctor who can do some emergency treatment, at least some time can be gained. .”

Li Sheng really hadn't thought about this question before: "You reminded me. But would any doctor be willing to come?"

"We can invite several retired doctors, and we don't need them to stay on the farm for a long time. We only need them to stay on the farm for one to two weeks a month, and then take turns to rest. I think as long as the salary is higher, some people are still willing to come of."

Li Sheng felt that what he said made sense: "Then let's find the right person as soon as possible. The rainy season is about to begin."

"Let me take charge of this matter." Thomas thought for a while and said. "I can contact the professional union, they may be able to help us find suitable people. I think we can find from Santarém and Manaus. Of course, Belém is also possible." He paused and asked. "Then what kind of treatment do you plan to give Li?"

"Insurance as stipulated by the law, salary you can do as you please, as long as it does not exceed [-] arel per day, free pick-up and drop-off, board and lodging are included. It is best to hire eight, and there must be two doctors per week On duty. But there is one thing, these doctors are required to be general practitioners as much as possible.”

"Understood. I want to study medicine with such good treatment." Thomas agreed with a smile.

The salary of 30 reals per day, if calculated based on full-time work, is nearly [-] reals.That's equivalent to an annual salary of more than $[-].This is definitely a high salary in Brazil.

That kind of salary is certainly very attractive to retirees.In particular, such a job only works for a maximum of two weeks per month and can take two weeks off.It might even be a week of work and three weeks off and get over $2000.Where can such a job be found?

"Babur and the others haven't come back yet?"

"Should be back soon." Thomas said with a smile. "It's been almost two weeks since they've been in."

Babur and Zhang Dingbian took the security team into the jungle for training, saying they wanted to restore their combat capabilities.Li Sheng is also very supportive.The last time there was a gangster planting [marijuana] in the forest area, it made him understand that this rainforest was not safe.There is a group of powerful fighters around, so I can feel more at ease.

"Anthony, don't forget to let the cargo ship do a maintenance before the rainy season."

"I've sent them on this voyage for maintenance directly in Belem."

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Then there's no problem."

This cargo ship was bought recently, a [-]-ton inland river bulk carrier.Although it is a second-hand product, its performance is not bad, and it is enough to transport various crop products.

And the energy of Chen Bo's circle of friends is not small.Not only has the rice from Silent Farm entered the domestic market, but it has also entered the North American and European markets.

Of course, this is also because the rice quality of Silent Farm is good enough.No pesticides involved, no heavy metals, no fertilizer metabolites, and no traces of genetic engineering could be detected.

Authoritative testing reports from market countries all officially confirm that this is pure natural rice, which is more organic than organic—because organic farm products in Brazil use organic fertilizers and organic pesticides—hehe.

More importantly, the rice from Silent Farm is not fragrant rice, but has a strong rice fragrance.This is the main reason why it is popular in the market.

Of course, the biggest market is Huaxia, and Chen Bo has shipped 12 tons back.However, the price in the domestic market is not high.It only sells for [-] yuan per kilogram.This kind of price is retailed in market retail stores, as long as it is not aged rice, it can be sold.And Silent Farm's rice is not only new, but also has a good taste. It is reasonable for this kind of rice to be popular.

Of course, the most important thing is that China already needs to import a lot of food.

However, in China, you can buy it for six yuan a catty, but on the farm, it is only two and a half yuan per catty.So Li Sheng actually has no way to make a lot of money on this product.

According to the current market, it took almost half a year to sell more than 1 tons.There is definitely no way to sell all the rice produced this year.But the rice rolling machines on the farm are still working day and night, and even if they can't be sold, the rice has to be turned into rice.

Now he and Chen Bo are brewing a big business, that is Silent Fragrant Pig.This kind of pig that is completely fed with grass needs to be bred for about a year before it can be slaughtered. It is not because it takes a year to grow to the size of the slaughter, but because the taste is the best after one year of breeding.

But those large white pigs are already being sold, mainly in the Brazilian domestic market.The business of Little Fragrant Pig is mainly aimed at the domestic middle class, and its main customers are those big hotels.

Chinese people have a requirement for meat, and that is freshness.If this market can really be opened, then these fragrant pigs can only be airlifted directly to China after being slaughtered.

However, the scale of fragrant pig breeding in the farm is still very small. Although it has been a year, but so far, it is only 10,000+.Don't look at the number as it seems to be very large. When a fragrant pig grows up, its live body weight is only seventeen or eight catties.How much is one hundred thousand?

So this business, he is not in a hurry, he can take his time.

In order to take this business, he opened up a [-]-square-kilometer fragrant pig pasture in the hilly area.These fragrant pigs are free range.

The pastures in the plains also grow here and there.There is also plenty of fragrant wheatgrass and specialized hogweed.After the corn is grown on the farm, the corn can also be fed.

However, people must have long-term considerations without near-term worries. Li Sheng has a headache about the problem of farm grain storage.

Judging from the current situation, the problem of grain storage was considered before, but it was not considered comprehensively.Before, only rice storage was considered, but other food issues were not considered.According to the original calculation, the farm's storage system can only store up to 100 million tons of grain, and in just half a year, more than nearly 40 tons of rice must be stored.Corn and wheat will be harvested again soon, and the production will certainly not be small, and the sales volume can be expected from the current sales of rice.

That's not a good thing. If it really can't be stored, does Li Sheng really want to pour these grains into the Amazon River to feed the fish?All the saliva in the world could drown him.

He is really scratching his head now, maybe the remaining space in the storage system will be filled as soon as the wheat and corn are harvested.Where will the food for next year be put?
He also said nonsense about brewing wine before, but it was just a joke.If so much grain is to be used to make wine, I am afraid that a large winery will need to be built.But that didn't fit his original intention.He didn't plan to develop anything like a business kingdom.That was too busy and tiring.

If the thing is really built, there will be a lot of troubles in bottles and jars.

Besides, the Brazilians have no understanding of the taste requirements of baijiu, and it is simply a luxury to want to export it to China.

He suddenly felt as if he had caught something.He scratched his head, what happened when he thought about it just now, it is very troublesome to export wine to China?What if the wine is made domestically?China is the largest liquor market in the world.Exporting baijiu is difficult, so will it be difficult to export baijiu raw materials?
