Chapter 374 The feed is running out
Zhou Zhiming came to the old branch secretary's home early in the morning: "Old branch secretary, there is not much feed left."
He had no other choice, and he couldn't bring himself to talk to Zhou Yimin, so he could only come to find the old branch secretary and let him talk to him.
The old branch secretary was also a little headache when he heard this. He didn't expect the feed to be used up so quickly.
"Okay, I'll go discuss it with Yimin later."
Zhou Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old branch secretary agreed. He was afraid that the old branch secretary would ask him to talk to Zhou Yimin.
"I'll go get busy first!"
Then leave after saying that.
Zhou Zhiming also has to go to the greenhouse to keep an eye on it. After a night of warming, the temperature in the greenhouse has now reached 20 degrees, which is suitable for planting.
The suitable temperature range is generally between 15 and 30 degrees. This temperature range is derived based on the needs of crop growth and practical experience in greenhouse environmental control. It helps to promote crop photosynthesis and respiration, and increase yield and quality.
If Zhou Yimin hadn't reminded me, many villagers would have gone there to avoid the cold, and if problems arose at that time, that would have been bad.
Basically, check on the burning of the firewood every two or three hours. If there is not enough firewood, add some and don't let the fire go out.
Every time people go to check on firewood, they are attracted by the warm climate and don’t want to leave.
When we arrived at the greenhouse, we saw many villagers already waiting at the door.
Now, no one dares to go into the greenhouse without instructions, for fear of accidents. Life is more important.
"Everyone, come in!" Zhou Zhiming said.
Zhou Xuping joked, "Didn't they say that going in would be life-threatening?"
The others laughed when they heard it.
Zhou Zhiming was also a little embarrassed. He didn't hear clearly before, which led to a small accident during the communication, and finally it became dangerous as soon as he entered the greenhouse.
"Okay, everyone, stop laughing. I know it's my fault that it got spread like this. I will change it next time."
After saying that, he led everyone into the greenhouse.
In order to ensure air circulation, hang one side of the curtain to allow fresh air to enter the greenhouse. Otherwise, with the current high carbon dioxide content in the greenhouse, carbon dioxide poisoning will soon occur.
This time, we planted some green vegetables such as leeks, water spinach, and cabbage.
These vegetables have a short growing cycle and can be picked repeatedly, which can help the village make more money.
Growing vegetables is a basic skill for every farmer, so Zhou Zhiming doesn't need to say anything.
Everyone started to divide the work clearly. They were responsible for turning the land, planting the grown vegetables in the turned land, and finally watering the land.
If it were in later times, with an automatic irrigation system, we wouldn’t have to worry about watering.
Nowadays, a lot of water is frozen, so it is difficult to water the plants. Moreover, the thawed water cannot be used directly for watering, otherwise the vegetables that have just been planted may be frozen to death. Therefore, the water must be placed in a greenhouse and the temperature must be raised appropriately.
The old branch secretary came to Zhou Yimin's home and found that Zhou Yimin had just got up.
"Old Party Secretary, is there anything that brings you here?" Zhou Yimin asked.
He knew that if there was nothing wrong, the old branch secretary would not come to see him.
The old Party secretary told the truth: "Yimin, do you still have the feed you gave to the village last time?"
"Fatal just came over and said there isn't much feed left. If there's no supplement, we might have to feed something else."
He knew why the chickens in Zhoujiazhuang were raised so well, it was all thanks to the feed provided by Zhou Yimin, so he thought about whether he could buy some.
As long as the price is not too outrageous, the villagers can afford it.
After all, the previous batch of chickens were raised to be big and good, resulting in the purchase price being much higher than that of ordinary chickens.
Moreover, the old branch secretary was thinking about expanding the scale of the breeding farm. The village now had some money, and he wanted to make money from money. This might be because he had spent more time with Zhou Yimin.
Understand that if you want to make money, you won’t save much money if you just think about saving. Only by increasing income can you make more money.
This is a sure win business, it would be a shame to miss it.
After hearing this, Zhou Yimin fell into deep thought.
Although feed can be purchased in stores, if it has no source for a long time, it is easy for others to discover problems.
Otherwise, we can build a processing workshop in the village specifically for processing feed, which can then expand the scale of the farm, killing two birds with one stone.
"Old Party Secretary, I have an idea. Let me share it with you so that we can study it."
After hearing Zhou Yimin's words, the old branch secretary immediately sat up straighter.
"good."
Zhou Yimin began, "I want to build a processing workshop in the village so that I can produce feed in the village. If I produce more feed, I can also expand the scale of the farm."
"Yimin, I didn't expect that we would think the same way. I also want to expand the scale of breeding." The old branch secretary was a little happy. He didn't expect that he could think of the same thing as Zhou Yimin.
It seems that although I’m old, my thoughts are not out of touch with young people!
I couldn't help but smile when I thought of this.
Zhou Yimin really didn't expect that it seemed that the old branch secretary was not like that. If it were in the past, the old branch secretary would not make such a risky decision.
"Old Party Secretary, it seems you have changed a lot!"
The old branch secretary couldn't help but nodded. Perhaps because he had been with Zhou Yimin for a long time, he was unconsciously influenced by Zhou Yimin's initial attitude.
"Yimin, your idea is good, but can the production be achieved if the processing workshop is located in the village?" The old branch secretary was a little worried.
He certainly wants to process and produce feed in the village so that the village doesn't have to buy feed. However, if the problem of raw materials is not solved, all of this is just empty talk.
"There is also the issue of raw materials. How can we solve it? Moreover, most of the people in the village can barely read. Can they do this job?"
The old branch secretary expressed all his psychological worries.
He was afraid that when the processing workshop was set up, the villagers would not be able to do it at all. Not only would his efforts be in vain, but he would also not know where the benefits would be received, which would be even more uncomfortable.
Zhou Yimin said: "As for raw materials, it is indeed a problem."
"But as long as the villagers receive simple training, there will be absolutely no problem in producing feed. There is no technical content in producing feed."
After hearing Zhou Yimin's words, the old branch secretary felt relieved.
"If that's the case, I feel relieved." The old branch secretary also spoke.
Zhou Yimin said, "I'll find a way to get the raw materials!"
If it really doesn't work, find some people for help. The connections you have accumulated before can now be put to use.
Moreover, the raw materials are nothing more than corn, barley, wheat, soybean meal, etc. If it really doesn’t work, just improve it and use corn cobs instead of corn kernels!
So getting the raw materials shouldn't be a problem.
