Shen An Nian still looked at Director Fang with a smile, "That's not the case. I just came here, how can I get any piglets?
But I believe that with Director Fang's ability, he will definitely find a way to get the piglets."
Director Fang didn't dare to accept such a high hat that was dropped out of the blue.
"Don't flatter me. I really don't know what I can do. I'll have to let the brigade commander figure it out."
"Let Brigade Commander Zhou find a solution. When you get the piglets, you can also help pick out some chicks so we can raise chickens together.
The growth cycle of chickens is relatively short, and they can be slaughtered in about four months, which can then improve the soldiers' food.
Director Fang grinned. She had a good idea, but she was taking a big step.
"Can you take care of so many things by yourself?"
“Of course I can’t do it alone, I must find help.
I see that there are many military wives in the family compound who came from rural areas, and some of them may have experience in raising pigs and chickens.
As long as they receive pre-job training, they should be able to start work soon.”
This method is feasible.
When the army asked the wives of soldiers to work in the fields, they didn't expect them to achieve much.
It’s just that there are too few jobs in the army and the wives of the soldiers can’t find them all.
In addition, many military wives have little education, so they are forced to work in the fields.
Since she follows her husband into the army, we have to provide her with a way out.
If the farm is really opened, it will be much easier for the military wives to work there than to work in the fields.
This can be considered as the army's care for military wives.
"Okay, I'll convey your opinion to Brigade Commander Zhou. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Shen Anyian shook his head, “I’ve only been in contact with the military wives for a short time, and I don’t have anyone suitable.
Director Fang, you have been in the army for such a long time, so you must be familiar with military wives. Do you have any recommendations?
"No, don't ask me about this. Go ask Sister Wang, Sister Wang Guixiang. Do you know her?"
Shen Annian nodded, "I know her."
"It's enough to know each other. When the time comes, you can find her. She will probably be able to help you find the right person."
"I'll go find her, but we have to build this farm quickly."
"That's no problem. As long as you pick a good place, we can make bricks ourselves. Within three to five days, we can have the farm ready."
After they had discussed it, Director Fang went to see Brigade Commander Zhou.
Shen Anyian asked the two veterans if there was any place nearby suitable for raising chickens.
They have been in this place for a long time and are definitely more familiar with the environment here than she is.
Lao Liang took her to the foot of a mountain and said, "This place is quite suitable. We can build a chicken coop here when the time comes. We can also fence off a piece of land. There are fruit trees on the mountain, which is suitable for free-range breeding."
Shen Annian took a look and found that it was indeed a good place to put it.
“Are there any fruit trees here?”
"Of course there are fruit trees here. We have yellow peaches, lychees, mangoes, longans, jackfruits, and red tangerines."
Shen Annian really didn't expect that there were so many fruits here.
They can develop more industries.
"Is it from our unit?"
"Many of them are planted by villagers, and some are grown by the army as well. However, the fruits are difficult to sell, so no one takes care of these fruit trees."
“Is it difficult to sell fruit?”
"That's not true. There's a lot of fruit here, but no one comes to harvest it. A lot of it rots in the fields, so we often pick it to feed the pigs."
Shen Annian: ...
The pigs eat really well.
However, the transportation here is indeed inconvenient, and we have to be very careful when transporting fruits. It is difficult for current technology to reach the level of later generations, so it is generally difficult for fruits to be transported over long distances.
There are many local products, and they cannot be sold at a high price locally.
To solve this problem, you can set up a fruit canning factory. Once you have a market, you don’t have to worry about transportation issues.
But what she wants to do most now is beekeeping.
The flowering season is coming soon. If you raise a group of bees, you can still make spring honey.
I just don't know if there are any beekeepers here.
"Comrade Liang, do you know anyone here who can keep bees?"
Lao Liang shook his head. "I don't know about this."
It seems she still needs to ask someone else to help find out.
After choosing a place, she saw that it was getting late, so she took Shen Anyui home to make lunch.
There are no vegetables grown in the yard, so there are no green vegetables at home, only some onions, potatoes and other storable things.
Just as I was worrying about lunch, I saw Wang Guixiang coming over with a basket. "Sister-in-law, how come you have time to come here?"
As soon as Wang Guixiang entered the yard, she took a quick look around and said with a smile, "Your yard is quite clean."
"I had nothing to do these days, so I cleaned it up."
"I see you haven't planted any vegetables yet. I have a lot of greens at home, so I'll send some over for you."
Mrs. Wang was really a timely help, as she was just worried about having nothing to cook.
"Sister-in-law, I won't be polite to you. I will accept the things."
"Why are you being so polite?"
This girl has a straightforward personality, unlike others who are shy and timid. Wang Guixiang likes her personality very much.
"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down."
Shen Anyian welcomed her into the house. Wang Guixiang glanced at her and sighed, "You've tidied it up really well. It's all decorated with flowers."
There is a vase of flowers on the table, which makes people's eyes bright.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down and I'll pour you a glass of water."
"Don't bother working anymore, I have to go home and cook for those two naughty boys.
I thought you had just come over and there must be no vegetables at home, so I took the time to send some over to you so you wouldn't be left without food."
