Chapter 46 National Nutrition Chicken Farm
After Jiang Li came out of the county party committee yard.
After seeing Su Wenchen having a pleasant conversation with the old man in the guard room.
He ran over quickly.
After Su Wenchen saw Jiang Li coming out, he said to the old man next to him.
"Grandpa, my friend is out, let's talk next time when we have time!"
The old man waved his hand.
After leaving the guard room.
Jiang Li looked at Su Wenchen's empty hands curiously.
"Hey, Su Wenchen, you're back so soon. Where's the chicken you bought? Didn't you buy it?"
Su Wenchen nodded, "Well, that family didn't care about the chickens. I found that it had affected the egg-laying rate, so I didn't buy any. Do you have anything else to do now?"
"No, this time I came mainly because Uncle He asked me whether what Secretary He said was true or false."
"Secretary He? Did you take the initiative to ask to come down to work? Did he go and report you?"
Jiang Li shook her head.
"It's not a work matter. Uncle He supports me in going to work in the brigade below. This is mainly a personal issue!"
After saying that, he glanced at Su Wenchen.
"Just explain it clearly!"
Su Wenchen nodded, "That's good. Do you have anything else to do in the county? If not, I'll take you back. I have to go to the neighboring Shiquan County later!"
"What are you doing over there?" Jiang Li asked.
"I just chatted with the old man and found out that the Guoyang Chicken Farm next door has a new leader. With the new leader taking office, some old things are easily cleaned out. I'm going to ask around and see if I can find any bargains!"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up, "Then I'll go with you! I have nothing to do today."
"By the way, Uncle He praised you when he found out that your brigade was going to vigorously develop sideline businesses and built two chicken farms!"
"They say this can not only bring income to the members, but also meet the current shortage of meat and eggs in the city!"
"He also told me to try my best to help you and that I could go to him if I encountered any problems."
When Su Wenchen heard this, his eyes lit up.
The county magistrate's promise is absolutely very useful for this small place.
However, you definitely cannot ask the county magistrate for help in buying chickens, because if you can't even handle fifty chickens, it will be hard for your leader to believe that you can really expand the chicken farm.
So Su Wenchen said directly, "If you don't mind the hard work, I don't have any objection!"
Jiang Li said nonchalantly, "It's not that hard!"
Shiquan County.
As soon as a bus stopped, a slim figure ran out of the bus.
“Inhale—! Exhale—!”
"Well, after getting off the car and breathing some fresh air, I felt much better immediately!"
Su Wenchen slowly walked out of the car.
"Look, I said it was hard work, and you said it was not hard at all. But didn't you take a bus when you came here?"
Jiang Li waved her hands weakly.
"No, Uncle He picked me up. I thought it was the same bus as the one in Beijing! Who knew so many people would bring stuff on the bus, especially the lady next to me. I don't know what she had in her bag. It smelled so weird."
Su Wenchen smiled, he knew this situation was unavoidable.
Nowadays, most people don't take buses to go out except to visit relatives or for some other business.
But no matter what you do, you can't take the bus empty-handed.
It’s actually not that bad these days, as everyone doesn’t have much money and few people go out.
By the 1980s, when everyone had money, passenger buses became really crowded, so crowded that people's feet would even be left hanging in the air.
"Are you ready? If everything is ok, let's go get some information about the chicken farm first!"
"Okay, now that I've calmed down, how do I get information?" Jiang Li asked curiously.
She had never tried to get intelligence before. It sounded very exciting, and it was very similar to what her parents did when they were dealing with underground intelligence.
"You'll find out if you follow."
Su Wenchen went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a handful of candies.
Then I randomly found a woman who seemed to be more talkative.
"Aunt, I want to ask you something," he said as he handed over two pieces of candy in his hand.
The woman did not answer it, but looked at Su Wenchen warily.
"What do you want to know?"
Su Wenchen said with a smile.
"We are from Beiwan Commune in Lanshui County next door. It's hard to buy eggs over there. We heard there's a state-owned chicken farm in Shiquan, so the secretary of our commune sent us to see if we can buy some cheap eggs."
After hearing what Su Wenchen said.
The woman immediately let down her guard and took the candy from Su Wenchen's hand before speaking.
"Hey, I thought it was something. If you want to buy eggs, then you came here for nothing. The price of eggs here has increased dramatically now!"
Su Wenchen asked curiously.
"Don't you have a state-owned chicken farm here? How can the price increase be even higher?"
The woman said angrily, "It was all caused by that bastard Liu Tupi. A chicken plague killed most of the chickens."
"After Liu was taken away, Zhang came in. This Zhang was even worse than Liu. After more than a year, the chickens didn't recover, and even more people died."
"But I heard that a new farm manager was sent a few days ago, and now the chicken farm is busy dismantling the chicken coops!"
Su Wenchen was a little confused.
"Tear down the chicken coop? Shouldn't this chicken farm buy more chicks for redevelopment? Why tear down the chicken coop?"
"It is said that the farm manager said that fowl plague is caused by locking up chickens, so the chickens should be released, just like before, so as to ensure the health of the chickens."
After finding out the information you need.
Jiang Li said quite disappointedly.
"So this is what you mean by gathering information!"
"What else? Are we going to keep it as mysterious as if it were a joint?"
Taking Jiang Li along the road pointed by the woman, the two came directly to the location of the Guoyang Chicken Farm.
The first thing that caught Su Wenchen's eye was the red wall that stretched as far as the eye could see. The wall was made entirely of red bricks, and there were a lot of glass fragments on the top of the wall.
Su Wenchen didn't even go in.
One can feel the wealth of the other chicken farm from the outside wall.
Such a large area is all surrounded by red bricks. How many red bricks must be consumed!
Then I thought about my current chicken farm which doesn’t even have a wall, but only a chicken coop and a brooder.
never mind.
There is no comparison at all.
But if we wait a few years, our chicken farm may not be worse than theirs.
The two walked along the wall and found the main gate.
However, at this time, a lot of people had gathered in front of the big iron gate of the chicken farm.
Su Wenchen was a little confused. Judging from their appearance, these people should be villagers from nearby. Why were they gathering here?
"Hey, brother, what are you doing here? Why don't you go in?"
The man glanced at Su Wenchen.
"You also received the message and came to work? Wait, the door will be opened soon."
Su Wenchen handed him a cigarette and said, "Brother, I'm not here to work. We are from the chicken farm in the commune below. I heard that the state-owned chicken farm here has imported chicks at the cost of foreign exchange, so I came here to learn advanced experience."
The other party first glanced at Su Wenchen.
Then he looked again and saw Jiang Li, who was standing behind Su Wenchen and was obviously dressed as a cadre.
"Then you are late. It was fine to come before."
"At that time, I told you, there were 10,000 to 20,000 chickens in the entire chicken farm, and more than a dozen chicken coops that stretched as far as the eye could see. When you walked in, you couldn't hear any other sound except the clucking of the chickens!"
"At that time, people from other factories lined up to deliver eggs every day. It was very busy. At that time, eggs here were only 40 cents per pound!"
After saying that, he sighed.
"Who knew that the good times wouldn't last long? Something bad happened within two years. So I advise you not to come here to learn any advanced experience. If you bring chicken plague back with you, you'll be in big trouble!"
"Brother, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. However, do you still have the chickens from the state-owned chicken farm? Our commune would like to import some from here as well."
"I don't know about that, but when I was working a few days ago, I heard some regular employees say that there seemed to be about a hundred chickens left. It was said that the logistics department wanted to deal with this batch of chickens, but the production department stopped them!"
"In the end, it seemed that it was the new farm manager who gave the order and agreed to let the logistics department find a way to dispose of the batch of chickens. I heard that they wanted to sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative at first, but the supply and marketing cooperative offered too little money, so the chicken farm didn't want to sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative anymore."
There was a flash of joy in Su Wenchen's eyes, as if things were really starting to work out.
