Chapter 234 Opening a Red Nematode Feed Processing Plant
The child hid in Qiao Lian's mother's arms feeling aggrieved and dared not say a word. He used to be the devil in the family. As long as his sister dared to bully him, he would howl and his mother would beat his sister without asking any questions. But now, the situation was obviously reversed... The whole family depended on his sister to make a living, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
Jingshu had a headache. If they continued to make such a fuss, it would seem like they were here to get a free meal, so she had to stand up.
"Uncle, don't bother with it. We really came here after breakfast, so don't bother with it. It's not troublesome enough. You guys eat first. After dinner, I have something I want to ask you."
When he heard that Jingshu really didn't want to eat and that she had something to do, the uncle didn't say anything, "Okay, let's eat first and talk after we're done."
My uncle and his family finally finished their breakfast, and Jing's mother took this opportunity to put away some things.
"Jingshu, if you have anything to ask, just ask." After dinner, Qiao Lian took her family back to her own room. After her aunt cleaned up the dishes, the family sat on the sofa, and then she asked.
"Uncle, how are your pigs now? What are Brother Wei Zheng and Sister-in-law doing recently?"
The uncle smiled and said, "Now that we have red nematodes, we don't have to worry about raising them. Your aunt and I decided to give your aunt's job to Wei Zheng. There's a lot of work to do around the house, and it's just right for your aunt to help out. Your sister-in-law doesn't do anything. In this apocalypse, having a job is the best she can do."
The eldest aunt then explained: "The family can't do without me, so it's better to give this job to Wei Zheng."
Jingshu understood that her aunt had given the location of her livestock farm to Wei Zheng.
"So do you have any plans?" Jingshu asked. Sure enough, no one could have anticipated what would happen next, and no one could think of making any long-term plans.
"If we breed a dozen more pigs this year, we can expand to more than 20 pigs next year. Then we will have no shortage of meat. Your black pig is a treasure." When talking about raising pigs, the uncle could not hide his excitement. If it were not for the black pig given by Jingshu, their family would be miserable and they might not even be able to find a wife.
In the past, they were just farmers selling apples, and no one looked down on them. Wei Zheng even waited until he was 30 and still couldn't find a partner. But look at them now, the whole Wu County envies them. Who doesn't envy Qiao Lian for finding a good man?
Who dares to get pregnant in the end times? Qiao Lian dares, because her man can afford it!
"What about the feed?"
"There's no shortage of feed right now. Raising hundreds of them isn't a problem. It's just that breeding takes time. You don't know, but the authorities are now focusing on hatching chickens and ducks."
It's raining heavily every day now, and the rain is full of insects. Although the poultry may suffer from malnutrition if they eat it, at least they can be kept alive.
Jing Shu shook her head. "Uncle, I have a job I want to give to Aunt. I originally wanted to give it to Brother Wei Zheng, but since he has joined the livestock farm, it would be a good idea to give it to Aunt."
I was originally worried that if I handed it over to Wei Zheng, his wife might be difficult to get along with. But after handing it over to my aunt, she was still a family member, so I thought it would give her some confidence. This was the confidence given by her family.
My uncle said excitedly: "What's another idea for getting rich?"
Jing Shu pondered: "I want to open a factory with my aunt. I will only provide the equipment and initial capital, and my aunt will be responsible for the rest of the labor and management."
At this time, the second aunt came out and said, "Jingshu, if you open a factory, you should take your second aunt with you. Look at us, a family of three, and we still don't have a job."
Jingshu said, "Wait until I finish speaking before you decide."
"What factory?" asked the aunt with interest.
"Red nematode feed processing plant."
"Ah?" My uncle was surprised.
"Yes, it is to cook the red nematodes and process them into feed, which can be stored as dry feed for a long time." Jingshu said.
The eldest aunt coughed and said, "These red nematodes are everywhere. You can't catch them all even if you fish them out every day. They're just like shrimps in the sea. Anyone can catch hundreds of kilograms of them every day. Not to mention that there won't be any more red nematodes in the next few years. Besides, if the floods don't recede and the rains don't stop, there won't be a shortage of red nematodes."
Wei Zheng nodded, "Yes, I heard that red nematodes are a kind of bacterial pathogen.
There are millions of bacteria in a single drop of water, so there will be no shortage of red nematodes. Currently, the price of red nematodes is so high that even a centimeter can fetch hundreds of kilograms."
My uncle asked, "So, if you do it, how much virtual currency do you plan to sell this feed for? After all, opening a factory is a big investment. Even if the area is flooded, the government encourages the development of new businesses. But if you add in labor and costs, if you sell it too high, no one will buy it, and if you sell it too low, you'll lose money."
Jing's father also said: "Yeah, even if you sell 200 kilograms for 1 virtual currency, who will buy it? Won't they just go and get it themselves?"
Jingshu raised the corner of her mouth: "Who said I want to sell it at this price? At that time, 1 virtual currency will only sell for 20 kilograms, and there will be no demand for it. Those with good relationships will be given priority." Since red nematode feed cannot be stored for a year, at most two or three years, so the number of years basically determines the price of red nematode feed. If this red nematode feed can be stored, we will see in the new year that this is not for poultry to eat, but for human consumption, and everyone is willing to pay a high price for it.
Ultimately, Jingshu's Rubik's Cube space is not big enough. Otherwise, if it were tens of thousands of cubic meters, she would store all these things and give them away for free to others to recruit labor. However, she can keep some of them.
"Are you crazy?" Second uncle said quietly in the corner, "Only a fool would buy it."
My eldest uncle was the first to react. "You mean to make red nematode feed first, store it, and then sell it after the rain stops and there are no more red nematodes?"
Jingshu nodded. Among the group of old farmers, only her uncle-in-law was quick-witted.
"It will take at least one or two years, right? Maybe three or four years?" My uncle asked tentatively. The longer it took, the greater their losses would be.
Although there were really a lot of red nematodes, the Chinese had raised them for a whole year and a lot of them were hoarded. Jingshu even suspected that the red nematodes had been eaten up by the Chinese.
Jingshu didn't answer how long it would take, but directly asked her aunt, "Aunt, do you want to do it?"
"I don't understand what you said, but I have high hopes for you, Jingshu. I will do whatever you say. Just tell me how to do it, and I will listen to you." The aunt said cheerfully. The old farmer can't sit still.
"Second Aunt, what about you?"
"Your second aunt doesn't do this, Jingshu, can you find a job for your second aunt on a livestock farm?" The second uncle-in-law has aged a lot after being released from prison, but he still has the mind of making small calculations.
Second Aunt lowered her head and said, "Why don't you let me go in and work? Just give me a meal every day."
Jing Shu raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't take care of personnel matters. If you have any questions, ask my aunt when the business opens."
Then Jingshu explained again: "The government is doing this, so it's right for us to follow suit."
Jingshu's words finally made the family's eyes light up.
"While I'm here, let's open the factory in the next few days."
