1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 79: These people in the supply and marketing cooperative know how to do business! (Please read on!)

After Zhao Wuniu ran to Su Wenchen.

He panted and said, "The farm manager is not the chicken farm's business. The team leader sent someone to find you to attend a meeting at the team headquarters!"

"What meeting do you want me for?"

Su Wenchen was a little confused for a moment.

Because although he currently holds a leadership position in the brigade, he is only in charge of matters at the chicken farm. Other matters of the brigade are generally handled by Su's father and Jiang Li.

Well, after promoting literacy work for some time, Jiang Li's prestige in the brigade has improved a lot.

Apart from anything else, her prestige is higher than Lao Gao's, because now the women and children in the team are really afraid of her!

And it's the kind of fear that students have when facing their teachers.

"Then I'll go over and take a look. Wuniu, you stay at the chicken farm first. If you need any help, go to the brooder house and find your master!"

Zhao Wuniu nodded.

"Don't worry, farm manager. I can definitely take good care of it. My master said that our management model is very good. The mortality rate of hens in our chicken farm is the lowest he has ever seen in his life."

Su Wenchen smiled.

The disease rate of hens is low because he takes a round every day, and once he finds that one has an abnormality, he will immediately isolate it and treat it.

It can be said that the disease is eliminated in the bud.

The natural mortality rate is extremely low. Of course, even so, there are occasional deaths after isolation, but they are very rare.

After making arrangements for the chicken farm, Su Wenchen went straight to the brigade headquarters.

Enter the brigade headquarters.

Su Wenchen found that almost everyone had arrived and he was the last one to arrive.

After finding a random seat and sitting down.

Father Su looked around and spoke first.

"Well, everyone is here, and most people should know the reason for the meeting. I think the winter wheat is almost ripe, so we can prepare for the harvest!"

"Secretary Jiang, do you have any opinions on the rush harvest?"

Jiang Li shook her head.

"Captain, I don't understand the harvesting work, so I won't give you orders blindly. The most I can do is help with the logistics."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, Father Su asked others.

"What do you all have to say?"

"I think it's about time. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to harvest much more grain. If God doesn't look at us and it rains for a few days, it will be terrible!"

"Pfft, ffff, ffff, shut up! If it really rains, I'll be mad at you!"

"Hey, what's the point of getting anxious with me? Can I control whether it rains or not? It would be great if I had that ability!"

"By the way, I wonder if the tractors from the commune can support our team this year. If we have tractors to help, harvesting will be much easier."

"What good things are you thinking? There is only one tractor in the commune, and it can't even handle all the work in the commune!"

"Oh~ If only we had a tractor!"

Su Wenchen looked at the team members who were talking at the same time and felt a little confused for a moment.

Why did you call me here?

I don't know how to harvest the crops one day, and you can't ask me to go to the fields!
At this time, Su's father also interrupted the quarrel between others.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Since everyone has no objection, all members will take a two-day break starting tomorrow. Two days later, we will start the first rush to harvest this year. Once the sickle is started, no one will be allowed to take leave before all the wheat is stored in the warehouse!"

"Youngest, how many people from your chicken farm can you transfer out in the next few days?"

Hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately knew the purpose of calling him here. He touched his chin and calculated.

"I can only squeeze out a dozen people at most. Now there are people in charge of the two chicken farms and the brooder house. It is impossible to transfer everyone away! Squeezing out half of them is already the limit. But if that happens, those who stay in the chicken farms during this period will be more tired."

Father Su waved his hand.

"No matter how tiring it is, it can be more tiring than rushing to harvest. If you have any objections, let them go to the fields! Let's see which job is easier!"

"Youngest, don't be lazy these days. Take your chicken farm and the people there with Secretary Jiang to take charge of logistics."

"We must keep up with the food and green bean soup for those few days! We must not let it be like what happened to Lao Gao before, where he almost killed someone because of heat stroke!"

After hearing what Su's father said, Su Wenchen did not refuse. After all, during the rush harvest period, it can be said that all the men, women, young and old in the brigade joined the battle.

Of course it was impossible for him to just sit there and do nothing.

Moreover, the logistical work during the harvest period is really easy compared to cutting wheat in the fields.

Su Wenchen just returned to the chicken farm after the meeting.

Zhao Wuniu hurried over.

"Director, you are finally back. Something has happened at the chicken farm. Two people from the county supply and marketing cooperative just came and said that we violated the policy by trading privately, and that our eggs can only be given to them by the county supply and marketing cooperative!"

Then he said a little uneasily.

"Captain, we are not really violating the policy!"

After all, Zhao Wuniu has seen the chicken farm flourish in the past few months. The eggs produced every day are in short supply and bring considerable income to their team every day. If he were to be locked up for violating the policy at this time.

Not only would he lose this easy and respectable job, but the entire brigade would also suffer heavy losses.

Su Wenchen was not as nervous as Zhao Wuniu.

He guessed that the scale of the chicken farm had been growing in the past few months, and factory buyers from the city came to buy eggs every day, so the county supply and marketing cooperative became jealous and wanted to be the first to jump out and take a bite.

So he comforted Zhao Wuniu directly.

"Don't worry. Our chicken farm was not built privately. It has official seals from the commune and the county. In addition, the parties we trade with are all public institutions. What policies can we violate?"

"It's good that we didn't violate it. I saw those two people were so aggressive that I thought we really violated it!"

Soon Su Wenchen arrived at the door of chicken coop No. 1.

At this time, a young man wearing the characteristic cadre uniform of that era was bossing around the employees who came out to entertain the chicken farm.

"Where is your manager? Why hasn't he come yet? I'm telling you, our supply and marketing cooperative took the initiative to come here to give you face."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be us who came here. How dare your Pingcun Brigade sell eggs privately? If we do the same to you, what do we need our supply and marketing cooperative for?"

"From now on, the eggs from your brigade's chicken farm can only be supplied to our supply and marketing cooperative."

"The price must also be in accordance with our set price. We will not take advantage of you. We have always charged other members 40 cents per pound. Will we give you the same price?"

At this moment, Su Wenchen could smell from a distance that the other party exuded a sense of superiority just from his words.

The supply and marketing system of this era did have the capital to be arrogant. Even many state-owned factories did not dare to provoke them. However, not all factories were afraid of them. On the contrary, the supply and marketing system had to curry favor with those large factories that produced scarce materials.

Because the local supply and marketing cooperatives are not a monolithic entity, and some in-demand materials such as televisions and bicycles are out of stock everywhere in the country, it is natural that these local supply and marketing cooperatives need to curry favor with the factories.

However, eggs are currently a scarce commodity here.

If he talked nicely, Su Wenchen really didn't intend to ruin his relationship with the county supply and marketing cooperative.

But the other party obviously thinks they are a big business and are easy to bully!

Eggs were 40 cents a pound, that was the price two years ago.

At that time, there was no problem with Shiquan Chicken Farm, so the price of eggs was naturally normal. Could it be the same as it is now?

Using the price from two years ago to buy eggs today, those people in the supply and marketing cooperative really know how to do business!
