1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 83 The meat quality of your roosters is really top-notch!

Pingcun Brigade.

A day later, Zhao Dapeng came here again.

But I unexpectedly discovered that the whole village today is much more lively than before.

As the rush harvesting work will start in two days, the entire team has not arranged any work for the next two days, mainly to allow the members to have a good rest for two days.

Once the rush to harvest begins, work starts at dawn and continues until dark at night, with a daily working time of up to fourteen or fifteen hours.

This situation will continue for several days until all the wheat is safely delivered to the granary, and the entire harvesting work will be completed.

So now many members will take two days off in advance. Some members are busy with their own vegetable gardens, some lie at home to rest, some visit their neighbors, and some go to the city to buy things.

The coming and going of people makes the whole village seem a lot more popular than before.

Su family.

Su Wenchen was waving a hoe with sweat all over his forehead.

Little by little, they cleared a vegetable patch behind his house that belonged to their small family.

Since the family has split up, Su Wenchen can now open two new vegetable plots to grow fruits, vegetables and the like.

It’s just that Su Wenchen has been busy with the chicken farm and has no time to take care of the vegetable garden!
As a result, he had just taken a break when Jiang Li pulled him over to dig the ground together.

Su Wenchen supported his waist and breathed slightly heavily.

"Ali, I think we should go to the county for a day after finally getting two days off, or go to the city. We should take this opportunity to cultivate our relationship instead of digging here!"

Jiang Li was wearing a gray dress.

After Su Wenchen turned over the place, he used a hoe to break up the large pieces of mud one by one and picked out the stones inside.

After hearing Su Wenchen's words, he immediately refuted.

"Comrade Su Wenchen, your hedonistic thoughts are getting worse and worse. I must criticize you severely. Aren't we cultivating feelings? What else can be better than the hard work we have experienced to forge sincere emotions?"

"Look, the brothers are almost done, but you haven't even done half of it! You need to work harder!"

"But what do you think we should plant? I think we should at least plant some cucumbers and tomatoes. Also, what do you think about planting a row of watermelons? I heard from Auntie Lan that watermelons only take about three months to mature, and we can harvest them in time before the temperature drops in the fall."

Su Wenchen looked through the sparse fence at his elder and second brothers in the distance.

The two men swung their hoes rapidly, and from their postures they looked much more professional than Su Wenchen.

"Are you sure we can grow watermelons? I heard it's very troublesome! But if you want to grow them, you can do it then. But they may not meet your expectations when they mature!"

"I'm definitely not as good as them at farming, but if they can compete with me in raising chickens, I can still beat them by eight blocks!"

Jiang Li also knew that everyone has their own expertise, so she quickly tried to comfort him.

"Yeah, yeah, I know you're working hard! But let's learn slowly. Even if we're not familiar with it by then, we can just take it as accumulating experience, and we'll be able to plant it well next year."

Then Jiang Li tried to bribe Su Wenchen again.

"I still haven't used my two-month meat coupons. If you finish turning these two acres of land today, I'll get up early tomorrow to cut two pounds of meat and reward you!"

"Suck it!"

"Eat meat tomorrow! I won't be sleepy anymore if you say that!"

Su Wenchen pursed his lips.

When was the last time I ate pork?

It seems like it was a few months ago.

I bought the braised pork from the county state-owned restaurant, but unfortunately I couldn’t find this delicacy again after going there many times.

Just when Su Wenchen was full of energy again and waving his hoe to turn the soil, a surprised voice suddenly came from the road in the distance.

"Brother Achen, I was wondering why you weren't at the chicken farm. Turns out you came here to start a vegetable garden!" "This must be your sister-in-law. It's all Brother Achen's fault. You didn't tell me you were married! I didn't even bring anything with me!"

Su Wenchen hurried to explain.

"Ahem, I'm not old enough, so I'm not married yet! Don't talk nonsense."

When Zhao Dapeng heard this, he secretly gave Su Wenchen a thumbs up in a place where only the two of them could see.

Because he had only heard of men going to the woman's house to work before marriage, but it was quite rare for a woman to go to the man's house to help with the housework.

It seems like brother Achen has completely charmed me.

Then he pointed to the basket hanging on the bicycle.

"Brother Achen, a batch of sheep were slaughtered at the city meat processing factory this morning. Unfortunately, I got the news and went there too late. I didn't get any mutton. I only got five pounds of sheep's feet. If I stew them, they will have some meat flavor."

Zhao Dapeng felt a little embarrassed as he said this.

After all, when he came here, Brother Achen treated him to a big rooster, but he could only bring some lamb trotters to treat them.

Mainly, he has no choice.

There are a lot of people eyeing the good stuff, and if you are a little slow you won’t even be able to drink the soup.

Su Wenchen also learned from Zhao Dapeng's words that the city is still short of supplies. Even a well-informed buyer like Zhao Dapeng can only buy a few kilograms of sheep's trotters.

It would be even more difficult for ordinary people who are not well-informed, and they might not be able to get even a piece of wool.

Zhao Dapeng slapped his forehead again at this time.

"Look at my brain. I almost forgot the most important thing. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to buy a tractor?"

"I went back and asked for you, and guess what? At first our section chief spoke so righteously, as if he was so upright. I thought this matter wouldn't work with our section chief, so I was going to ask someone in the sales department for help."

"As a result, our section chief's attitude changed 180 degrees overnight. Not only did he allow you to jump the queue, he also gave you the biggest discount."

"Brother, to be honest with you, if I hadn't eaten your cock before, I would have thought you had drugged it! Otherwise, how could your attitude change so quickly?"

Su Wenchen watched Zhao Dapeng's vivid retelling.

I couldn't help but smile in response.

"Haha, man, how can you drug a live chicken? Why not kill the chicken first?"

"That's true, but the meat quality of your roosters is really top-notch!"

Then Zhao Dapeng subconsciously lowered his voice.

"And this time it's mainly a coincidence. It is said that the leader of the Provincial Department of Industry will come to guide our work the day after tomorrow. Our section chief will have to do his best to show himself."

"However, this batch of roosters you have should be enough. Don't worry, price is not a problem. How about two yuan per pound? This is already the price of a lot of game."

Ouch——!
Su Wenchen was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that these state-owned factories would be so willing to do so.

Nowadays, even if there are roosters for sale occasionally at the morning market, the price is only RMB 1.56 per pound.

The price is similar to that of lean pork without a ticket, but if the pork is fat, the price will be higher.

On second thought, he also understood this idea.

Because the factory belongs to the country, the money also belongs to the country, but what you eat is yours.

The factory leaders definitely won’t care whether it’s a little more or a little less.

At this time, Su Wenchen felt that the rooster, which seemed a bit useless at first, now seemed to have a huge market.

It’s just that this market is not for ordinary people.

It seems that we need to put some effort into improving broiler breeds.
