Chapter 111 Chapter 111
Although it was only half an hour, at least the person had been seen.
Moreover, after the flying needle treatment, Ye Qing already had a clear idea of Han Yabo's physical condition.
If Han Yabo follows her plan strictly step by step, it won't be a problem for him to recover to the state of healthy people of his age.
Han Yabo's affairs had been laid bare in front of Zhao Yuliang, so Ye Qing had nothing to hide anymore. She directly exchanged information with this head of the group, telling him about her next plan to set up a small-scale farm on a trial basis in Kaoshantun, and her plan to open a pharmaceutical factory in the future.
In the second half of the year, the pig breeding reforms at Qingshan Farm had significant effects, and Zhao Yuliang felt that he had made it.
The county must be interested in Ye Qing's feed formula. It has organized relevant departments to hold a number of meetings in succession. Zhao Yuliang has participated in many discussions. There are also disputes among all parties regarding the site selection. Many towns and villages want to incorporate it. However, since the final data of Ye Qing's demonstration case at Qingshan Farm has not yet come out, the whole plan has not yet been finalized.
The people at the purchasing station took the live pigs away yesterday, and the data must have been submitted to the county government office. It is estimated that the matter will be finalized after the Chinese New Year. Ye Qing said at the beginning that she would not participate or interfere in this matter, but because the formula was proposed by her, and there is the successful case of Qingshan Farm, Qingshan Town should have the greatest possibility of winning this project.
Zhao Yuliang did not have the ambition to seize the feed factory. His main focus was on farm expansion and reclamation. Farming and breeding were his main occupation. Opening a feed factory was not in line with the army's style of competing with the people for profits, and there was no precedent in this regard. Even if the application was submitted, the leaders above would have to be crazy to approve it.
But Zhao Yuliang felt that, given that the troops were planting food crops and raising livestock, poultry and aquatic products on such a large area, they could definitely add some other profitable projects. Once the feed factory was built, it would inevitably require a large amount of raw materials, and purchasing them nearby would definitely be the best option.
If this factory is finally decided to be built in Qingshan Town, then his military farm will have great advantages and can become a counterpart raw material supplier for the feed factory. When the time comes, he will raise whatever the feed factory needs and will not have to worry about sales.
That's why Zhao Yuliang has been so active in getting involved in this matter recently. His purpose is to help Qingshan Town and try to attract some support. When the factory is really settled in Qingshan Town, he can take the initiative to grab the big order for raw materials and directly generate sideline income for their farm!
Originally, the relationship between the two was not that close, and Zhao Yu would naturally not take the initiative to mention these little thoughts to Ye Qing.
But now that they are one of them, Zhao Yuliang will not be polite to Ye Qing. He directly brings up the matter of the feed factory, wanting to drag Ye Qing into the matter and let her go to the county to give her opinions.
After all, whether it was the feed formula or the entire scientific breeding plan, they were all developed by Ye Qing, so her opinions must be extremely important. If she requested to build the factory in Qingshan Town, the county would definitely take it into consideration, and other counties would not dare to express any opinions about her.
Originally, Ye Qing certainly didn't want to get involved in all these things. She didn't care or mind which town Jiaotan County would set up the feed factory in. After all, no matter which town the feed factory would generate income for, it would not go into Ye Qing's pocket, nor would it lead to her being promoted several levels. She had no say on whether the factory was profitable or not.
But now that Zhao Yuliang took the initiative to ask her for help, Ye Qing could no longer refuse.
After all, if Zhao Yuliang could really negotiate the raw material supplier for the feed factory, the military farm would be able to generate a lot of income, which would definitely play a vital role in the expansion of the farm.
With this achievement in hand, Zhao Yuliang will be able to firmly establish himself as the director's top dealer, and no matter who comes in the future, no one will be able to surpass him.
For Ye Qing, Qingshan Farm with Zhao Yuliang in charge will definitely bring her many benefits and conveniences. Not to mention the subsequent in-depth cooperation in pig and cattle breeding, just saying that Han Yabo is in charge of the farm transformation, with Zhao Yuliang's care, everything will be under her control. But if Zhao Yuliang is transferred away, it will be hard to say whether the next person in charge here will be easy to deal with.
Therefore, Ye Qing will definitely actively participate and strive for the construction of a feed factory in Jiaotan County, but whether it will succeed or not is up to fate.
Zhao Yuliang's "evil plan" succeeded, and he immediately smiled from ear to ear. When Ye Qing and Song Chunhua were going back to Kaoshantun, he didn't even make any arrangements for soldier Xiao Zhu. He personally drove the military truck to send the two of them to their doorstep, and he also called Ye Qing "niece" all the time, and was so affectionate that he almost moved Ye Qing to the Zhao family's household registration book.
Ye Qing was speechless at the sight of this newly adopted uncle. She jumped out of the car as soon as she got home, fearing that Zhao Yuliang would go crazy again and hold a grand family recognition party to formally acknowledge her as his "niece" who had a different surname and no blood relationship with him.
Ye Qing ran very fast, and after entering the house, he thought for a while and finally turned back to the door and stopped Zhao Yuliang who was turning the car around outside the yard and preparing to leave.
Ye Qing brought a jar of monkey wine, a jar of wild fruit wine, a bag of dried meat jerky, and a pack of homemade maltose, and wrapped them carefully in yellow paper. Then he handed them to Zhao Yuliang.
"I don't have anything else good at home, but these are the only things I can give away, and they basically cost nothing. You can take them home to try them, and consider them my New Year's gift to you."
"That's it for this year. Next year, we will work together to make the farm's breeding business flourish and become stronger, and strive to become an industry benchmark for military farms!"
Zhao Yuliang didn't care what was in this New Year gift, but Ye Qing's words just now really touched his heart.
He put out the cigarette in his mouth, took the thing with a smile, his eyes flashed with a gleam of light instantly, and he responded with an ambitious "yes", then he smiled at Ye Qing, stepped on the accelerator happily and drove away, the wheels of the green military truck rolled in the snow with a grunt, splashing mud all over Ye Qing's body and face.
Ye Qing: ...
She made this unnecessary trip, as she could have taken it with her when she went to the army cafeteria for lunch tomorrow.
After meeting Han Yabo, Song Chunhua was completely relieved. After the New Year, the school on the farm would start, and she and Han Yabo would both live on the military farm. Even if they were in different areas and could never see each other, as long as she knew that her husband was close to her, and the couple could breathe the same wilderness air and look at the sun and clouds in the same sky, she would feel unprecedented joy and peace.
So Song Chunhua changed from her previous worried look, and seemed to be filled with happiness, with a smile on her face all the time. When she returned to the village, she started busying herself with all kinds of things inside and outside the village. She even took out all the scraps of cloth she had collected before, and wanted to learn how to sew shoe soles from Grandma Zou.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ye Qing and Song Chunhua must have encountered something good during their trip, but the girls in the family and Grandma Zou were all very tactful and sensible people, and everyone was doing their own work tacitly, and no one asked any further questions.
On the same day, Wu Yongbing and the old branch secretary found a tractor and transported all the quota pigs that had been received this year from the Kaoshantun pigpen to the purchasing station.
The pigs raised by Ye Qing personally have undoubtedly met the weight requirements. They have even exceeded the task quota. This year, Kaoshantun is once again the leader in pig raising in Hongqi Commune, leaving the other production brigades in tatters.
The team leaders were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads. They were very shocked at the quality of the pigs raised in Kaoshantun this year. They came to Wu Yongbing to learn how they managed to feed the pigs so fat in Kaoshantun.
Seeing these captains who used to be arrogant and looked down on others now being so attentive to him, Wu Yongbing felt extremely happy and proud.
If nothing unexpected happens, Kaoshantun will definitely win the advanced award this year.
After handing in the pigs on assignment, there were still a few live pigs left that belonged to the collective of the village. In addition to the live pigs, there were also a few wild boar kids that Ye Qing had caught a few months ago, which now weighed over 100 kilograms.
According to the custom in the village in previous years, pigs were slaughtered in the morning on the 30th day of the lunar month, and each household would get some meat while it was still hot, no matter how much they had, and they would take it home to make dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner.
But this year, because the large army went into the mountains to hunt and brought back a lot of prey, every household in the village received more than ten pounds of meat, so there was no need to wait until the 30th of the lunar month to kill the pigs. So after Wu Yongbing held a meeting with the production team cadres, he decided not to kill the few remaining pigs in the pigpen for the time being.
The main reason is that the pigs in the pigpen have not yet grown to their maximum weight. It would be a pity to slaughter them like this, weighing only a hundred pounds.
Ye Qing said that the Northeastern pork variety is slightly inferior, but the skin is tough and the meat is thick. If it is carefully fed according to her breeding method, it can be fully grown in a year and a half, and it will definitely be no problem to raise it to 300 kilograms normally.
That is to say, after a few more months of raising them, by the time of next spring ploughing, these pigs will be able to grow another hundred kilograms.
At that time, there was a shortage of both vegetables and meat in the Great Northern Wilderness, but it was also the time when these pigs grew the fattest.
Wu Yongbing felt that it was just the right time to slaughter these pigs. After starving for several months, everyone should start eating more so that they could get back to work in the fields.
Although the New Year pigs were not slaughtered, Ye Qing still had to be rewarded. After all, the pigs in the team were successfully raised because of Ye Qing's feeding.
It was the end of the year, and the Kaoshantun Production Brigade had already conducted a unified settlement on the 23rd day of the 11th lunar month during the Little New Year. Each family exchanged food and cash based on the total work points counted by the scorekeepers. The families first discussed how to distribute the points, and then went to the old branch secretary to apply.
As for why they had to apply, it was because most of the grains collected in the production team's granary were coarse grains such as corn, sweet potatoes and beans, while fine grains such as rice and wheat flour accounted for a relatively small proportion. If every family wanted to exchange for fine grains, there would definitely not be enough.
Therefore, the old branch secretary needs to make adjustments and strictly control the ratio of coarse and fine grains to be exchanged. According to this year's grain storage situation, the proportion of grain exchanged by each family can only account for one-tenth of the total grain proportion at most, and the exchange price of fine grain must be three times that of coarse grain.
That is to say, if a family's work points were enough to exchange for 300 kilograms of grain, they were only allowed to exchange for 30 kilograms of fine grain according to the proportion, and these 30 kilograms of fine grain were equivalent to 90 kilograms of coarse grain. After deducting these 90 kilograms of coarse grain, the family's remaining work points could only be exchanged for 210 kilograms of coarse grain.
Such an exchange ratio is definitely not calculated, especially for families with children who work more but have fewer points. They dare not ask for fine grains and can only exchange as much coarse grains as possible so that each family can survive the next year.
Ye Qing had been working in the fields since she went to the countryside, earning full work points. Later, when she started raising pigs, her work points decreased, but soon a health station was built and she was able to earn 20 work points a month. So at the end of the year, she alone could exchange nearly 500 kilograms of grain.
This was after she had only been working in Kaoshantun for less than five months.
There are six permanent residents in Ye Qing's home now. Occasionally, she would invite Song Chunhua to live with her. Plus, there is Gu Weinan from next door who comes to eat from time to time, so there are a lot of mouths to feed here.
Meng Jia was an educated youth, so he was definitely able to get food. Grandma Zou and Zou Yun, who had a cleft lip, were both registered in the village, so they could also get basic food rations. But the same could not happen for Wang Chunhua and Zheng Xin. Both of them were not registered in Kaoshantun and had come to rely on Ye Qing, so they naturally could not get food rations from the Kaoshantun production team. Therefore, Ye Qing had to bear the cost.
So according to Ye Qing's request, she and other people in the family required that all the work points they earned be exchanged for coarse grains, no matter what kind, as long as it could fill her stomach, she would accept it.
It's not that Ye Qing likes to eat coarse grains, but her family needs to use these coarse grains to confuse people. Her current situation is indeed attracting attention in Kaoshantun. If people knew that her family has been eating fine grains, it is hard to guarantee that they will not arouse jealousy. So they exchanged all the grains for coarse grains so that it would not be too conspicuous.
But in fact, Ye Qing's family had always had a supply of white flour and refined rice. Basically, as long as the rice jar and flour bag at home were empty, she would always carry back a basket to fill the rice jar and flour bag.
After all, it only took her about ten minutes to collect dozens of kilograms of fine grains using her supernatural powers, and she had the neighboring army farm as an excuse. All she had to do was say that the grains were subsidies given to her by Zhao Yuliang, and no one would suspect or investigate further.
After all, everyone knows that Ye Qing is now in an important position in the military farm. The top leaders of the farm are all trying to curry favor with her. The military farm has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and the thing that is most in short supply is food. It is not too exaggerated to give Ye Qing some fine grains every month.
The grain in the warehouse had been distributed a few days ago, and now the live pigs were out of the pen. As expected, Kaoshantun successfully won the title of the advanced production brigade of the commune this year by virtue of its previous payment of public grain and the fact that it exceeded the task quota with its pigs. Therefore, Wu Yongbing and the old branch secretary agreed that Ye Qing, the behind-the-scenes hero, should be given a certain reward.
But Ye Qing is living a very comfortable life now, with everything he lacks, so it is difficult to reward him with anything.
The Kaoshantun Production Brigade was already poor, and after the year-end settlement, there was not much money left in the public account. The little money that was left was prepared for the next spring sowing, and it certainly could not be used to reward Ye Qing personally.
So several production team cadres gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally decided to reward Ye Qing with a hunting rifle.
Yes, it is a hunting gun.
A few years ago, the production team went into the mountains to hunt, and Wu Yongbing and the old branch secretary both went with them. Naturally, they both knew very well that the gun that Ye Qing brought into the mountains at that time was borrowed from Gu Weidong.
As natives of Changbai Mountain, every household must be equipped with hunting rifles.
Ye Qing now has a homestead in Kaoshantun and is the object of the eldest son of the Gu family. She is a proper daughter-in-law of Kaoshantun. Moreover, she is a good shooter. After the health station is built, she will have to go into the mountains to collect herbs all year round. How can she not have a hunting rifle of her own?
So after much discussion, everyone agreed that this reward was the most appropriate.
The key point is that hunting rifles really exist in Kaoshan Village. When the village resisted the enemy in the early years, a lot of rifles were seized from the enemy. Later, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, these rifles were converted into hunting rifles, and that's how the hunting rifles equipped to each household came about.
The remaining ones are now all stored at the bottom of a box in the tool shed, locked up with a padlock. They are only used as temporary replacements when someone's wood warehouse has problems during hunting in the mountains at the end of each year.
The old branch secretary found an experienced hunter, who picked through the wood warehouses and finally selected the one with the highest precision and the best quality, which was delivered to Ye Qing by Wu Yongbing himself.
Not long after Ye Qing sent Zhao Yuliang out, Wu Yongbing came home with a shiny hunting rifle in his arms.
After learning that the long wooden pole was a reward given to her by the production team, Ye Qing stood up straight instantly and stared at the long wooden pole with green light in her eyes.
