Chapter 88 Return to Lianshan Village
At noon the next day, Li Gaoyang boarded the train back home. Li Ma and Li Gaoxing waved at him outside the window, and Li Gaoyang waved back. Then the train started and took Li Gaoyang far away.
And everyone in Lianshan Village was waiting for Li Gaoyang to bring back good news. They all prayed that the quail eggs could be sold. As long as they could be sold, it would mean that the farm could continue to survive.
The team leader was the most anxious one. After all, it was he who made the decision to set up this breeding farm. If the quail eggs could not be sold and things went wrong, that would be bad.
Fortunately, Li Gaoyang did not disappoint everyone. He did what he had promised and found a market for the "Laishun" canned quail eggs.
Looking at the concise words on the telegram, the captain smiled from ear to ear. After confirming the date of Li Gaoyang's return, he ran to the county to pick him up.
Li Gaoyang went out in early September, and when he came back it was already mid-September, the time when new grain was stored in the warehouse, and in a few days the public grain tax would be paid.
Li Gaoyang looked at the captain and smiled, "Captain, I have accomplished your mission."
"Okay, okay." The team leader said yes repeatedly and pulled Li Gaoyang onto the ox cart towards the village. On the way, Li Gaoyang told the team leader about his experiences over the past few days and took out the signed form to show him.
The captain took the order and looked at it carefully. When he saw the quantity on it, he was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "Three hundred cans? Three hundred cans of quail eggs ordered at one time!"
Li Gaoyang sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, there are only 300 cans. We could have ordered more, but I calculated carefully and found that 300 cans is the maximum that our farm can currently produce.
After all, there are not many quails now, and most of them have just hatched. I have calculated carefully that when all the quails in the farm are able to lay eggs, by the end of September or the beginning of October, more than a hundred quails will lay more than a hundred eggs, which will weigh almost two kilograms.
There are three hundred cans, each can contains half a pound of eggs. Excluding some seasonings and brine, that means we need one hundred and thirty pounds of quail eggs to make it.
This means that from now until the end of November, we have to start saving quail eggs to have enough.
It would be great if we could have started raising quails two months earlier so we could have saved more eggs and sold more now. ”
When Li Gaoyang finished speaking, there was some regret in his tone.
The captain waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's not a small amount. Three hundred cans, the net profit is thirty or forty points, which is not a small amount.
In the future, we will raise more and more quails and earn more and more money. ”
The captain was satisfied. It was a great achievement to succeed in one go.
When Li Gaoyang thought about it, this was true, so he stopped worrying about the regret.
After that, the two talked about the delivery issue. They didn't have to solve this problem by themselves. Anyway, as long as the cans were prepared before mid-December, when there were trucks from Jichengji Province passing through the city, they only needed to deliver the cans to the city in advance and hand over the trucks.
When the team leader and Li Gaoyang returned to Lianshan Village, the village cadres naturally praised Li Gaoyang after he received pats on the shoulders and cigarettes from several cadres.
Jiang Panyu just went to the village breeding farm with the team leader. He is under a lot of pressure now. The batch of quails that had just hatched at the end of August will need to be raised for more than half a month before they can lay eggs, but by then it will be October.
It would snow in the northern province at that time. The colder it was, the fewer eggs the quails would lay than in the summer. To solve this problem, we could only artificially create the feeling of summer in the room.
In addition, the quails must be fed well and have enough nutrition, and they must not be frightened and kept warm like spring.
The temperature issue is not difficult. The farm has fire beds and fire walls anyway, so we can just burn more firewood when the time comes.
However, if the quails do not get enough feed, not only will they lay fewer eggs, but the quality will also deteriorate.
This means that they now have to start collecting large amounts of feed for the quails to survive the winter. Although they have prepared some before, it is still not enough.
Jiang Panyu informed the two of them of this hidden danger, and the team immediately took it seriously. They had to pay attention to it as it was related to Xiao Qianqian's income.
With just one word from the team leader, all the children in Lingshan Village took action and came to help Jiang Panyu and the others catch snails, dig earthworms, catch insects, and dig various wild vegetables and pig grass. It didn't matter what kind of insect it was, as long as it could provide protein.
Of course, this was not work in vain. The team leader went to buy a bag of rock sugar, and came back to use the rock sugar to settle the wages with the children. In this way, the farm had enough quail feed and the children had candy to eat, which was a happy thing for both parties.
For the next two months, Jiang Panyu devoted himself to taking care of these little quails, treating them as his ancestors. Fortunately, these little quails were strong enough and Jiang Panyu's efforts were not in vain. The daily egg production was very stable. By the beginning of December, the budget was even exceeded, with more than 140 kilograms of quail eggs.
At this time, Tan Yanlu also resigned from her position as a literacy class teacher and officially became the person in charge of the small workshop. Under her responsibility, three hundred cans of quail eggs with different flavors were produced.
Labeling and packing. In order to prevent the glass jars from being frozen and cracked by the cold weather, each box is filled with very soft Ula grass, which can keep them warm and prevent the glass jars from being bumped.
After packing, the outside was wrapped with straw mixed with Ula grass. It was wrapped so thickly that you could hardly tell what was inside.
After the three hundred cans were made, the team leader, Accountant Jin, and Li Gaoyang were responsible for delivering them. Because the truck would only pass through the city, they had to deliver the cans to the city at the agreed time to wait for the truck, and the round trip would take more than a day.
The three men set out early in the morning and did not return until noon the next day. The quail eggs had been delivered. Now they had to wait for the purchasing department in Jilin Province to receive the goods and then transfer the money to them.
Of course, it was not as convenient and fast as it was later. We had to wait for the post office to transfer the money, and then take the remittance slip to get the money.
It took another seven or eight days before the postman rode his bicycle to deliver the envelope to the brigade headquarters in Lianshan Village. The brigade leader opened the new envelope and looked at the remittance slip. He was very excited and immediately went to the town with Accountant Jin to withdraw the money. In the end, he got 135 yuan for the 300 cans.
Although the money is not enough to cover their investment, the two people are still very happy. This is extra income, and it is not a one-time income. As long as they persist and cover their investment, it will be pure profit in the future.
