Liu Shengguang was just preparing for his holiday, as other factories had already closed on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

However, his oil mill became busier as the end of the year approached, mainly because more people came to exchange or buy oil, as well as to celebrate the New Year.

I have been busy until today and haven't had a day off yet.

Since he started harvesting soybeans in October, he has collected more than one million kilograms of beans in one go, which far exceeds the original plan of purchasing 500,000 kilograms of beans.

This is mainly because Jiangwei has too many factories, and each factory has a canteen of varying sizes.

Not to mention anything else, there are more than a thousand housewives cooking in these canteens, big and small.

Women from some villages near Jiangwei Village, such as several teams in Huanghui Village close to Jiangwei, Dapu Village, Sunjiabao Village in Gushan Township, and many housewives from several teams in Pingshan Village all work in these canteens.

I earn about 100 yuan a month, and it is said that my salary will increase this year, to around 150 yuan.

There are hundreds of these canteens. Even if a small factory uses one ton of cooking oil a year, it will need hundreds of tons.

Where did he get so much soybean oil?

Based on an oil yield of 16%, one ton of soybeans can produce at most 320 kilograms of soybean oil.

He can only produce 80 tons of soybean oil from 1 million kilograms of soybeans. What good is this? It can't even supply one-fifth of the output of factories like Jiangwei.

He originally wanted to harvest some more soybeans, but he was short of funds.

In contrast to the shortage of soybean oil, his family has plenty of bean cakes.

There are too many bean cakes piled up at home. Although he buys bean cakes every day, the speed at which they are sold is far behind the speed at which they come out of the oil press. He now has more than 100,000 kilograms of bean cakes piled up.

If he squeezed all the beans he had, then based on the current sales rate of bean cakes, a backlog of 300,000 kilograms of bean cakes would not be a problem at all.

Selling bean cakes has become a difficult problem.

Since these bean cakes could not be exchanged for money, he no longer had money to buy beans.

This has become a troublesome problem for him now.

At this point, he had almost finished the oil exchange work. After sending away the last customer, he was also ready to settle the bill for the people in the oil mill and give them a holiday.

Just as he was directing his men to clean up the yard and preparing to go back home to collect his pay and go on vacation, he saw Wan Feng's car driving into the yard.

Ask Wan Feng if he has any solution to the problem of unsold bean cakes.

Liu Shengguang walked quickly to the front of the car, and Wan Feng just got out of the car.

"Old classmate! Are you here?"

"Why haven't you had your holiday yet?" Wan Feng asked back.

"I just sent the oil change guy away and was about to go back to pay the employees so I can go on vacation."

"Then you go ahead and do your thing. I'll bring Liu Jiu from Xiaoshutun over to take a look. Do you two know each other?"

"I know him! Even though we haven't met much, we still know each other."

"Then go ahead and do your work. It has nothing to do with you for now."

"Then I'll go back and pay the workers. We'll talk again after I've paid them."

Liu Shengguang left in a hurry.

Liu Jiu looked around the yard and asked, "Is this the original headquarters of the Huang Hui Brigade?"

Wan Feng nodded. "The Huanghui Village Committee has moved to Putun Mountain in the east, and this place has been rented by Liu Shengguang. Let's go out and take a look across the street."

Wan Feng and Liu Jiu left the yard and came to the hillside opposite the dirt road to the right of the oil mill.

This hillside is the outermost part of Nanda Mountain extending to the northeast. The hillside is not high and is surrounded by a large hillside land, which is about several hundred acres. It extends to the west and borders the land of the Zhou family team.

The slope is not steep and is a gentle slope.

About 200 meters ahead to the southeast is the boundary of Huanghui Reservoir.

"What do you think of building a pig farm here?"

"Isn't this also the territory of our Jiangwei Village?"

"Why do you care where it's from? If you say it's okay, build it here. Liu Shengguang is still from Jiangwei, so why would he build an oil mill here?"

When Liu Shengguang built the oil mill, Wanfeng came to see this hillside and felt that it would be a good place to do something.

Then Wan Feng discussed the various conditions for building a pig farm with Liu Jiu one by one.

"The biggest advantage here is that it's far away from the village, and the air is good. Even bacteria can't fly here, so the chances of the pigs getting sick are greatly reduced."

This is the first condition for pig farming: the environment.

Next comes the second problem: water source.

"The hillside here isn't high, so we could easily dig a well in the pig farm. It can be used by both humans and pigs, but I suggest humans use the well water, and the pigs can use the water from the reservoir across the way. It's only about 200 meters away, so we can just bury a pipe in the ground and pump the water up with a water pump."

Liu Jiu agreed with Wan Feng's suggestion.

"Three hundred meters to the left is Liu Shengguang's oil mill. I think he has everything you need, including bean cakes, as a pig feed. It's enough for what you don't need."

Liu Shengguang can produce at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms of bean cakes a year. If Liu Jiu wants to digest all of these bean cakes, he will probably have to raise thousands of pigs.

Soybean cake is a type of feed with a high cost-effectiveness. If pigs are fed soybean cake all year round, their size and meat quality will be of high quality.

Of course, the cost is also high.

Therefore, when farmers raise pigs now, bean cake is only used as a supplementary feed, and is fed to pigs every few days. At that time, farmers mainly fed pigs with corn stalks and weeds that were crushed into powder using a grinder.

It would be good if a pig could give you four or five pieces of bean cake a year.

Now the water problem has been solved, and the feed problem is half solved. The last thing is the excretion of feces.

"See the hundreds of acres of land here? If you give your pig manure to these farmers for free, I think they'll be happy to help you clean it up. If all else fails, you can just give them a symbolic two dollars per pigpen, and almost all of it will become fertilizer for the land."

Liu Jiu really didn't think about the problem of pig manure.

When Wan Feng finished speaking, Liu Jiu was full of admiration for Wan Feng.

No wonder they can run such a big factory.

In just a short while since he brought up the topic of pig farming in the shop, someone had designed a complete pig farming plan for him. It was very comprehensive and more thoughtful than what he had expected.

"If you think this place is suitable, then you can let Liu Shengguang handle the negotiations with Huanghui Village. You only need to worry about designing the pig house and recruiting people to feed the pigs. I won't get involved in these matters. If you are short of money, you can come to me."

This is all Wan Feng can do. Building a pig farm is not something he needs to personally help with.

After all, he is now a person with an ID card.

"That's settled then. I'll talk to Liu Shengguang right away. If we agree, I'll have the bricklayers come in after the New Year to build the house, warehouse, and pigsty. Meanwhile, I'll go to the market to catch some piglets, and once the pigsty is built, I'll throw them in. That way, we can do both without any delays."

It turns out this guy is also impatient.
