On the day Zhang Jianjun and Xue Zhenzhen left, the brigade leader had Grandpa Chen drive a horse-drawn carriage to take them directly to the city.
He Wan followed behind.
Because she had mentioned the feed issue to the brigade leader, she needed to find a place specifically to store the feed.
Because there are no feed mills in the city.
He Wan made this suggestion to the brigade leader.
He wanted to develop step by step because he found that, whether it was a farm or a rural area, raising poultry and pigs relied on rotten vegetable leaves and pig feed, and they could only raise a few kilograms of livestock throughout the year.
Therefore, feed is a very scarce commodity.
With feed, the commune can meet the quota for collecting pigs. If the brigade wants to have some meat when handing in the task, feed is the best way to fatten them up.
He Wan asked Bai Muyin to buy her more than a thousand bags of feed without any writing on them in the past two days.
Upon arriving in the city, they first took Zhang Jianjun to the Cultural Bureau's broadcasting station.
They then sent Xue Zhenzhen to the provincial cultural troupe.
He escorted Xue Zhenzhen to her dormitory before leaving.
Before leaving, Xue Zhenzhen said, "He Wan, I will visit you at the educated youth settlement when I have time."
"good."
After leaving the cultural troupe, He Wan asked Grandpa Chen to lead her to a winery and deliberately said, "Grandpa Chen, Comrade Chen, please wait here for me. I'll go ask that person first."
Today, Grandpa Chen went with them to the Cultural Bureau and the Performing Arts Troupe, and got to see where city people work. He was still a little reserved at the moment.
He Wan asked today whether the winery's fermentation tanks were for sale.
As a result, the gatekeeper refused to find anyone for her, so she had to give up.
Then I went for a walk around the neighborhood.
Only then did he go back with Grandpa Chen.
Three educated youth came to the settlement, and now two have left. Actually, it's not much different from before.
A few days ago, Zhang Yao insisted on raising chickens and ducks, probably because she had been ripped off by Chen Qing. Then she insisted on going to the tofu shop, only to find that the tofu shop was open from dawn till dusk, all year round, so she backed out.
I don't know what someone said to her, but since she has money from the educated youth office and her home is nearby, and people here hibernate during the winter, she was planning to go home instead.
After He Wan and Grandpa Chen went to the city, they went there twice more.
I made a deal with Boss Song and learned from him that there was an old factory in the county.
So he went back to the county to find Song Lao Er and asked him to help him make a connection.
It wasn't really a factory; it was just a very basic warehouse, located on the outskirts of the city, near their production brigade.
“Brother He, to be honest, this factory is actually related to us.”
"Huh? Is there some inside story?"
“My dad works at the distillery, and this is the old warehouse of the distillery. It’s already been abandoned. Look, there are huge holes in the roof. In a few years, they might tear it down and rebuild it.”
"If I rent it out, will the factory agree?"
"I'll definitely agree. It's not really needed anyway, so every penny we can get from rent is a penny we can get."
"Could you ask around for me? The price shouldn't be too high, otherwise I can't afford it."
What are you preparing for?
"Setting up a feed mill—of course, I can't do it on my own. Brother Song, do you have any ideas? Like, perhaps by using the name of a winery, or..."
"This...there is no precedent for this."
"You have connections, could you ask around for me? If it works out, I can buy the distillery's lees."
There really is some distiller's grains. In the past, they were either sent to farms, or thrown away, or piled up as manure.
By simply lending one's name to a business, one can collect rent and sell distiller's grains, which can be considered a profit.
