Chapter 52: Lao Gao is the branch secretary, what can a team leader like me do!
Over here in the chicken coop.
With the help of other members, after unloading the chickens from the cages, the hens were transferred one by one to the bamboo cages prepared in advance by Su Wenchen.
There are more than 400 chicks, all of which have been transferred to the brooder house with higher temperature.
In this way, Su Wenchen worked until late at night before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because only now did all the hens eat their food one after another, and the frightened chickens seemed to gradually calm down.
I watched as many hens' conditions changed from frightened to tired.
Su Wenchen gradually put his heart at ease and walked to the door of the chicken coop carrying a kerosene lamp for lighting.
"Master Hou, you came in a hurry, and I can't prepare a place for you to live alone. You can stay at my house during this time!"
The other party had been busy with him for half the night tonight, and Su Wenchen felt a little guilty about it. After all, the other party did not receive any salary from their team.
Hou Guozhong waved his hand.
"No need, I'll just live over there in the silo. I see there's a bamboo bed there. I'll use that. I'll bring my own luggage." Hou Guozhong said, pointing at the simple bamboo bed that Zhao Wuniu had made overnight.
Su Wenchen looked at the bamboo bed and felt a little amused.
"This is too shabby. If Section Chief Miao knew that you came all the way here and this is how we entertained you, he would probably be angry with me."
When Hou Guozhong heard Section Chief Miao's name, he immediately became unhappy.
"Humph, don't mention that traitor. I told you to sleep here and you don't have to worry about me. Why are you afraid that I will steal your chicken?"
Su Wenchen smiled bitterly.
"How could I be afraid of this? Forget it, you can stay if you want! But you've been busy for half the night, so come to my house and have something to eat first!"
"Although our chicken farm can't pay you a salary right now, we can still afford to provide you with a meal!"
As soon as Su Wenchen finished speaking, Hou Guozhong wanted to refuse, but his hungry stomach made a noise at the right time.
"That's fine. I'll be working for you in the future anyway, so it's only right that you pay for my meal."
Su Wenchen and Hou Guozhong had just left the chicken coop.
I saw several militiamen with guns chatting in front of a fire at the door of a wooden house not far away.
"Achen, you've just finished your work. I have some roasted sweet potatoes. Come and have some to fill your stomach!" shouted a militiaman who was familiar with Su Wenchen.
After hearing this, Su Wenchen responded with a smile.
"No need, Dashan brother, this is the subsidy the brigade gives you for patrolling the militia at night. If I eat it, what will you eat in the middle of the night?"
"However, I'll leave the chicken coop to you guys, Dashan. Once our brigade's chicken farm is developed, I'll discuss with the brigade to give you some money to subsidize the militia who patrol at night!"
Hearing Su Wenchen's words.
The eyes of several militiamen who were warming themselves by the fire lit up.
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Chenzi. Even if you don't tell us, we will still keep an eye on the chicken farm. We are all counting on the income from the sideline business to have a good year!"
Su Wenchen heard this and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that everyone will have a prosperous new year. If the chicken farm makes good income, maybe we won't have to sell the ten pigs at the brigade's pig farm this year. We can kill them all ourselves!"
"Brother Dashan won't chat with you any more. I'm going back first."
Li Dashan looked at Su Wenchen's back.
He turned to the others and said, "This kid is really bold. Ten pigs! If we really kill them all ourselves, we can have a good year. But the captain should be scolded!"
"You can curse as much as you want. The small piece of pork we were given in previous years was not enough to satisfy our cravings."
"Yeah, I hope what that kid said is true."
Su Wenchen brought Hou Guozhong back home and found a kerosene lamp lit in the main room.
At this time, Father Su was wearing a coat and dozing off in a chair.
Seeing this scene, Su Wenchen felt a warm feeling in his heart.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, Father Su slowly came back to his senses.
"Youngest is back, are you done with your work?"
Su Wenchen nodded, "Almost done, just feed him on time from now on, Dad, why don't you go to sleep first!"
Father Su pointed to the stove.
"I'm watching the fire, otherwise it will be difficult to light a fire when you come back!"
Seeing this, Su Wenchen said directly, "Then Dad, wait a moment. I still have two kilograms of white flour in my room. I will make some hand-rolled noodles later. Let's eat them and then go to bed!"
Father Su had just stood up and was about to go back, but when he heard this, he could hardly move.
Thinking of the chewy and smooth hand-rolled noodles, Father Su swallowed his saliva, as if he hadn't eaten it for a long time.
Well, then just eat a few bites and then go back to sleep!
He was definitely not greedy! He just didn't want to disappoint his youngest son's filial piety.
soon.
With the three people working together, some boil water, some knead the dough, and some stir-fry the sauce.
Soon the steaming egg noodles came out of the pot.
After taking a mouthful of the chewy and smooth noodles, Su Wenchen suddenly felt as if his tired body was resurrected.
At the dinner table, Su's father asked directly.
"Didn't you say you were going to get 50 chickens first? How did you get 500 at once? Don't you only have 200 yuan in your hand?"
Father Su was a little curious. How could Su Wenchen buy so many chickens with only 200 yuan? Was he buying on credit?
But it’s such a big state-owned chicken farm, why should we give them credit?
This made Su's father completely confused.
Su Wenchen took a bite of noodles and then slowly said, "Secretary Jiang helped to advance most of the money. I will go to the brigade accountant to settle the accounts tomorrow. We agreed at the beginning that I would pay for the brigade to build a chicken farm, but I will be responsible for the eggs produced by the chickens in the first month after I buy them."
"After a month, the chicken farm will be stable and there will be no problems. It will be officially considered a brigade property. Dad won't regret it, will he?"
Father Su took a sip of the soup in the bowl and glanced at Su Wenchen.
"Why would I regret this? I didn't agree to this. Lao Gao is the branch secretary. He has already agreed to it. What can a team leader like me do?"
"Anyway, if there is any problem, the higher-ups will look for him!"
Su Wenchen: “.”
But Su's father also explained.
"You don't have to worry about the brigade disagreeing with this matter. The commune has no objection to this matter. The commune would like other brigades to do the same!"
However, Father Su knew that it was difficult. Most of the members were unwilling to take risks. Even if there were some brave ones, it would be a big problem where to buy so many adult chickens.
Just like Lao Gao, the team searched everywhere but no one was willing to sell egg-laying hens, and finally they spent a high price to buy four hens.
If you raise the chicks slowly from seedlings, you will have to invest more time and money. At the end of a month, you won’t make much even if the chickens don’t die.
Even if a lot of chicks die, you will have to pay losses.
Thinking of this, Father Su was a little curious, "Where did you buy these chickens? How could someone be willing to sell so many laying hens to you?"
Su Wenchen glanced at Hou Guozhong. He didn't want to poke at the other person's sore spot in front of him.
Directly change the subject.
"Dad, there are 500 chickens in the farm now. I can't handle it all by myself. We have to hire more people. And while Master Hou is here, we also have to train our own veterinarians and technicians."
"Master Hou, what do you think?"
Hou Guozhong put down the bowl in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Director Su, as long as you agree to let me research the next generation of hybrid chickens, I will help you train technicians."
Su Wenchen clapped his hands.
"Master Hou, don't worry. I will give you my full support and help you select the best breeder chickens. Then we can breed them generation after generation and select the best ones. This way, our chicken breed will get better and better."
In addition, he will also use the golden finger to breed a batch of breeding chickens, so that when the chicken farm expands in the future, he will not have to buy chicks from outside, but can raise the chicks himself.
Hou Guozhong didn't expect Su Wenchen to have such a long-term vision and seemed to have great ambitions.
Raising your own breeding chickens and raising your own chicks is a model that is usually only adopted by large chicken farms.
However, seeing the other party's support, he immediately promised, "As long as Director Su can do it, I will definitely not hide anything!"
