Reborn to be rich

Chapter 104 The Beggar Chicken at Guanlu Crossing

"You calculated the account carefully. Our farm has given work to the feed mill for nothing." Zhang Guoqiang glanced at his fourth brother and couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, brother! Just now I saw you talking with some people from other villages at the gate. What are you talking about?" Zhang Guodong asked.

"Several county towns came to our village to play, and they happened to see the chicken farm, so they asked if the chickens in our chicken farm were sold. I haven't come here yet, so I asked you urgently!" Wang Guoqiang returned.

"Sell, why don't you sell? The 9000 culled chickens are sold to anyone who wants to sell them. The market price is 6 cents per catty. If anyone doesn't want to live, we will help kill them." This is not an idea to attract tourists. You don't have to worry about the quality of the chicken if you choose it at will. I believe that if someone wants to buy chicken in the future, Zhangjialing Farm will be the first thing that comes to mind.

"Well, some people in our village thought about buying some chicks from the chicken farm in the morning and raising them by themselves. In the afternoon, I will ask your sister-in-law Lianhua to tell the villagers the news." Zhang Guoqiang said.

"Our chicken farm is the first chicken to be slaughtered, so what if we send a chicken to every household in the village to try it out? Let me tell you that the first chicken is free to pick, and the others need to be bought for 5 cents per catty. Why can't my chicken farm afford chicken? Okay, all the teachers in the school and the staff of the chicken farm are the same. Also, I will cook chicken for everyone tonight." Zhang Guodong said after making a decision.

"Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say, but if this happens, what will happen to the chicken farm in the future? Wouldn't it be a loss if people from other villages let our villagers buy for us?" Zhang Guoqiang thought of this.

"The purchase of special chickens in the village is limited! 10 chickens a month. There are more than 60 people in our chicken farm, and you will have 80 chickens killed later. I will make a beggar's chicken for everyone!" Zhang Guodong suddenly thought of beggars. The taste of the chicken can't help drooling. Chickens under 60 days old are the best time to make beggar chicken. You don't need any pots and stoves by this ditch, just dig a hole to make beggar chicken.

In the afternoon, the entire chicken farm knew that Zhang Guodong was going to be a beggar chicken. At this time, the amount of information among the villagers was not as large as that of later generations. Many people didn’t know what a beggar chicken was. Zhang Guodong directed two security guards to find lotus leaves In some mud ponds at the bottom of the ditch, the lotus leaves were in full bloom at this time. Several breeders caught 80 young roosters and quickly killed them. Zhang Guodong instructed them how to marinate them.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, all the marinated chickens were wrapped in lotus leaves, then wrapped in mud, and placed in a prepared pit, and a big fire was quickly ignited.

After half a day of adaptation, the chicks in the ecological garden have begun to find food leisurely on the grass. In the past, they didn’t have to worry about supplying four meals a day on time. Now they are only fed once a day after six o’clock in the evening. I can't eat anymore.

The beggar chicken is ready quickly. The 40-day-old chicken is very cooked, but the meat is really not a lot. A raw chicken that weighs four taels per catty is killed and only 7 taels of meat are left, which is not enough for people with larger appetites. eat.

"This chicken is so delicious when it's baked in mud. I've never eaten such a good chicken." Zhang Chenglin leaned on a stone pier and couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, it's really good! I've seen people buy this kind of chicken in Chang'an. There are many people who buy it for two yuan a piece, but I haven't tasted it!" Professor Li saw that the chicken was cooked, picked up a wooden stick from the fire A beggar chicken was pulled out of it, and when it was smashed open with a stone, a scent came out immediately.

"Guodong, come and have a sip of wine, how can you just eat meat without drinking!" The eldest brother found a bottle of white wine from nowhere, took a sip and handed it to Zhang Guodong.

Seeing that the leaders had already started eating, other staff members of the chicken farm impatiently started to work. Suddenly, the smell of chicken with the smell of green onions filled the entire living area of ​​the chicken farm.

"Village chief, this chicken is so delicious, why don't you open a clothing store, and ask your aunt to open a beggar's chicken shop, and you can earn no less than selling clothes." The breeding captain and Zhang Guodong's peers at the side, he killed himself two or three times. After finishing the chicken, seeing others tasting it slowly, I couldn't help but said to Zhang Guodong.

"It's a good idea. It's called Huaji. It's delicious and not expensive. You can get half the profit if you sell it for 2 yuan. You can just open it next to the mahua shop at Guanlukou and let the village brigade do it. If the village brigade has money, we can do it by the end of the year." Got it." Zhang Guodong thought for a while and said.

"Okay, you can write down the production method later and I will take it to Zhang Xiaoliang." The collective business in the village is managed by the deputy village head Zhang Xiaoliang.

"No need, there are still more than 20 chickens left! I will send them to some old people in the village and the village committee." Zhang Guodong came here by car today. Of course, the chicken farm's first slaughter is to let everyone try them all.

The next day, a new restaurant called Huaji suddenly opened at the official intersection of Zhangjialing. Many passers-by stopped and asked what it was selling.

"Beggar chicken costs only two yuan. You want to eat it even after you taste it!" Several young daughters-in-law in the village are selling beggar chicken. You can choose to take a beggar chicken back with you.

The smell of beggar chicken is really attractive. Many people can't help but stop and buy one back. Zhangjialing Village also heard about the delicacy of beggar chicken. Everyone went to Guanlukou to buy beggar chicken.

In one day, Zhang Guodong originally thought that it would be good to sell 100 chickens today, but he did it halfway through, and the 200 beggar chickens were sold clean on the first day.

On the second day, the business was surprisingly good. Many workers from the brick factory and feed factory in Zhangjialing Village, as well as the construction team of the farm, came to Guanlukou to buy. They all rode bicycles and took them home for the children to eat.

On the second day, 300 chickens were sold out. On the third day, Zhang Guodong quickly stopped increasing the quantity. The chicken farm now only has more than 8000 chickens. If you sell 400 chickens a day, you can sell them out in less than 20 days, let alone chickens. There are also a lot of chickens sold at the farm in the past two days. The first 5000 chicks hatched by the chicken farm are only half a month old. Only by keeping the quantity within 300 a day can the beggar chicken business continue.

Zhang Guodong was just happy that he didn't have to transport these young chickens to Chang'an for sale. He didn't want the business of the Huaji shop to stop after a few days. It was okay for rural people to eat chicken once in a while, but most people couldn't afford white noodles. After a week, the business of the Beggar Chicken Shop was stable at between 100 and 200 chickens, and a small half of them were digested by Zhangjialing Village itself.

The time is coming to November soon, and this year's winter came earlier. There are very few people planting wheat in Zhangjialing this year. Many people are planting rapeseed, and there are still many first-class land that are idle. This is waiting for next year. Plant flue-cured tobacco too!
The county telephone bureau finally pulled the telephone line to the breeding farm, and the Zhangjialing village brigade headquarters, brick factory, feed factory, and Zhang Guodong's home were finally connected to the phone. 9000 yuan, the average family really can't afford it.

Jing Shantai took the surveyors from the Design Institute around Xigou for a week, and later a new development plan came out, and Zhang Guodong was quite satisfied after seeing it.

A wetland with a size of 18 mu will be built at the bottom of the ditch on the west side of the chicken farm. Numerous small artificial streams pass through the wetland in parallel. Various rocks will be arranged here, and some plants will be planted in the wetland. The specific crab breeding Zhang Guodong I don't understand, I leave it all to Professor Li and the others, and the two parties agreed that all technical guidance of the farm will be provided by the Provincial University of Agricultural Science and Technology.

The ponds one thousand meters north of Xixiegou are all lotus viewing areas. More than ten mountains and more than 20 ravines are arranged for viewing development projects according to the terrain characteristics. Zhang Guodong saw that the budget for these protective fences and road construction has reached 146 million. The total budget The funds reached 1194 million. Zhang Guodong asked the other party to draw up the contract earlier after reading it. The project could not be completed in two years.

"Boss Zhang, if you have no opinion on this design plan, we can draw up the contract, but don't you really want to tell Yongkang County about such a large project?" Jing Shantai didn't expect Zhang Guodong to start construction so soon, so he couldn't help reminding.

"No, you need to transport a lot of building materials from Chang'an this time, so you should arrange all the materials together! However, ordinary materials must be used in our village. Transport vehicles and engineering vehicles are also given priority by our village machinery. Look at this how?"

"Tourism development and construction is a long-term process. I also know that it is impossible for you to spend so much money at one time. I divided the current project into 14 pieces in order. Before the project starts, you must first allocate 10% of the funds, and then 14 You pay 40% of the funds before the construction of each project, 40% after the completion of the project, and the last 10% of the payment after all the projects are completed, how do you think about this?" Jing Shantai spoke in a negotiating tone, The second construction of such a large siege province can't take over one in a few years, and the profit here is much more than that for the government to build roads. If this is signed with the project, my bonus this year will be a lot of money.

"Okay, the total project advance payment is 119 million yuan, the fence road is 4 million yuan, the pig farm is 146 yuan, the lotus pond and the crab ditch are 68 yuan, and these three projects will be completed a few years ago. As for the 66 mu of mountain reconstruction and fruit tree planting , as soon as possible in the spring of next year, the 3105 million is the largest engineering project, and I will call you the advance payment for these projects after we sign the contract."

This will cost 596.2 million yuan, which is basically out of the general budget of the general project.

"Well, we give priority to using the machinery in your village. They are all priced in Qin Province. A 65 excavator is 6 a month, and a 4 loader is 50. If you put it in Xigou, it will be 3 a month, Boss Zhang What do you think?" Jing Shantai said at this time that Zhang Guodong's machinery is because the two machines have been working for a long time, and now these jobs belong to them completely after working with the Provincial Second Construction, so of course the work done in the past half month must be counted.

"Okay, those two construction vehicles are not enough! Are you planning to rent construction vehicles from Chang'an?" Zhang Guodong wanted to ask that if hiring other people's vehicles, it would be better to buy them in Zhangjialing Village, throwing away the project for a year and then returning the vehicle. up.

"Our company has its own leasing company. The amount of work this time is relatively large. It won't take three years to complete. We will bring our own engineering vehicles. Our company will directly come to the 3 and engineering team this time." Jing Shantai was embarrassed back.

Zhang Guodong didn't care too much. Jingshantai rented Zhang Guodong's two cars at a relatively high price in the industry, and it was also because of the high risk factor for ravine operations. But how could he let Zhang Guodong's car do dangerous work in Zhangjialing?

He left Zhang Guodong's home phone number for Jing Shantai, but he didn't expect the other party to call in the morning of the third day. This time, a vice president of the Second Provincial Construction came to Zhangjialing Village to sign the contract with Zhang Guodong in person. engineering attention.

Zhang Guodong's signing with the Provincial Second Construction seems very low-key. Even if everyone knew it, they didn't think it was so strange. Zhangjialing Village has not been engaged in heavy construction in the past two years, but this time everyone didn't know that the contract funds had exceeded [-] million.

After signing the contract, Zhang Guodong transferred 596.2 million yuan to the other party, leaving only 340 million yuan in his account. Next year, most pig farms will be built, and greenhouse picking gardens will start construction. After all the projects are completed in three years, Zhang Guodong will be at the brick factory, Farms and feed mills will start to make profits, and the funds will be fully operational.

After the Provincial Second Construction received the money, 12 construction vehicles were transported to Zhangjialing Village soon, but his construction vehicles were all 30, which was like a child compared with Zhang Guodong's excavator.

Four engineering teams from the Second Provincial Construction came. They built prefabricated houses at the bottom of the ditch as soon as they arrived. There are more than 120 people. People from all the villages in Ganjing Township have been coming to the construction site these days to find work. In just one week, the Second Construction was saved. There are more than 300 workers, and Zhangjialing Village is full of outsiders every day.

The first team of Zhangjialing Village also had a few more stores at some point. They all sold department stores and daily necessities, and a few of them changed their entrances to sell noodles, Liangpi, and tofu nao at the intersection of Xueguan. Zhangjialing Village has gradually grown. Embark on a new path to wealth.

As the weather at Guanlukou became colder and colder, the business got better and better. These days, Zhang Guodong's family sold dozens of clothes every day, and Hu Yue'e began to urge Zhang Guodong to buy more.

"Brother, let me go to buy goods tomorrow! There are many things at home and you are busy with the farm all day long, and I can't help Mi, so let me go for a trip tomorrow." Zhang Guotao heard his mother asked to buy goods, Suddenly said to my brother.

"Are you going? You don't drive the excavator anymore?" Zhang Guotao is now in charge of the three construction machinery and tractors at home, Wang Le, his uncle and several cousins, Wang Le's two brothers and himself, a total of 8 people, all of whom are Zhang Guotao in charge.

"It's okay for a small excavator to buy a brick factory. I let Wang Le see that nothing will happen to the stall!" Zhang Guotao said.

"You boy... well, Mi can go if he wants to! Tomorrow I will tell the three that the feed factory has recently purchased less and less corn. Let the feed factory truck go to Chang'an with you. You come to the tractor alone. It's dangerous." Zhang Guodong borrowed the truck from the feed factory, and he put his left hand into his right hand, and no one would say anything.

"Then thank you brother!" Zhang Guodong smiled and saw his second brother leaving home. He knew that his second brother was still thinking about Tian Ailing. He had been wanting to write a letter to Tian Ailing a few days ago, but he didn't dare to send it out after writing it. How could he let go of the opportunity to go to Chang'an City.
