After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying packed up and then gathered at the threshing ground.
When they arrived at the threshing ground, many villagers and educated youth had already gathered there.
Everyone was whispering to each other, discussing today's work arrangements and various recent events in the village.
The team leader stood on a high platform in the threshing ground, holding a metal loudspeaker. Seeing that most people had arrived, he began to shout, "Everyone, please be quiet. Today we will continue yesterday's summer weeding work. We did a good job clearing the weeds in the eastern fields yesterday, but some areas of the western vegetable plots need more work."
The team leader then assigned tasks: "Teams one and two will continue to the eastern fields and clear the remaining weeds. Group three will go to the western vegetable plots, focusing on areas that weren't properly cleaned. Group four will be responsible for watering the village crops, being careful not to overwater and prevent waterlogging."
…
After the morning meeting, Zhou Ziwen prepared to go to the mushroom cultivation base with Chen Shiying.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Youcai came over.
"Ziwen, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhou Ziwen stopped, looked at Zhao Youcai and asked, "Uncle Zhao, what's the matter?"
"Our chicken farm is now on track. I wonder if we can start expanding it?" Zhao Youcai asked.
"Well, there is no problem with expanding the scale. Have you talked about this with Uncle Wu and the others?" Zhou Ziwen nodded.
There are currently more than 3,000 chickens on the chicken farm, plus ducks and geese, a total of less than 4,000.
For the chicken farm in Dabazi Village, this number is a bit small.
Zhao Youcai replied, "Not yet. I want to discuss it with you first and hear your opinion before I go find Secretary Wu and the others."
Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhao, expanding the scale is a good thing, it's definitely possible."
"Okay, then I'll go discuss it with Secretary Wu right away. Ziwen, you come with me!" Zhao Youcai said happily.
"I won't go, Uncle Zhao. You can discuss it with Uncle Wu. I still need to go to the mushroom cultivation base to take a look." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
He no longer interferes in the affairs of the chicken farm, leaving it all to Zhao Youcai and others to manage.
He believed in Zhao Youcai and his colleagues' abilities and believed that they could manage the chicken farm well.
Zhao Youcai didn't force it after hearing this, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go find Secretary Wu myself."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai left in a hurry.
Watching Zhao Youcai leave, Chen Shiying couldn't help but sigh, "Ziwen, Uncle Zhao and the others are really getting more and more motivated now."
"Yes, everyone's life is getting better and better, so naturally, their motivation is getting stronger and stronger."
Zhou Ziwen smiled, then invited Chen Shiying to go to the mushroom cultivation base together.
The two arrived at the mushroom cultivation base, where many team members were already busy.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying arrive, everyone greeted them warmly.
"The team leader is here!"
"Team leader, how are these mushrooms growing?"
After Zhou Ziwen responded to each one, he began to walk around the base to check the growth of the mushrooms.
The mushroom cultivation base is well maintained and the mushrooms are growing very well.
Zhou Ziwen nodded in satisfaction, then said to Chen Shiying, "Shiying, you keep an eye on this. I'll be leaving first."
There was nothing going on at the mushroom cultivation base, so Zhou Ziwen planned to go to the brigade headquarters and see how Zhao Youcai and Wu Dagang were discussing.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." Chen Shiying nodded.
Afterwards, Zhou Ziwen left the mushroom cultivation base and went to the brigade headquarters.
As soon as he walked into the brigade headquarters, he saw Zhao Youcai and Wu Dagang discussing something, both of them with smiles on their faces.
"Ziwen is here, we were just about to look for you!" Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming, Wu Dagang waved hurriedly.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhao, have you discussed it?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Yes, we just discussed it and plan to collect another batch of eggs and hatch a batch of chicks. What do you think?" Wu Dagang asked directly.
"This is a good thing. As the scale of the chicken farm expands, the profits will be greater." Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.
"Ziwen, once we collect the eggs, it will be up to you to hatch them." Zhao Youcai said.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, leave the hatching of the chicks to me." Zhou Ziwen said, patting his chest.
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go back and arrange for someone to collect the eggs." After Zhao Youcai said this, he left in a hurry.
Watching Zhao Youcai leave, Wu Dagang said to Zhou Ziwen, "Ziwen, you are now a great contributor to our village. The chicken farm and mushroom cultivation base are both flourishing."
"Uncle Wu, don't say that. This is the result of everyone's hard work." Zhou Ziwen said modestly.
"Ziwen, you are too polite. Your contribution is obvious to everyone." Wu Dagang waved his hand.
The two chatted for a while and then Zhou Ziwen prepared to leave.
As a result, before I even left the house, Li Lei came looking for me.
"Brother Li, why are you here?" Zhou Ziwen asked with a grin.
"Hey, I came to see you." Li Lei touched the back of his head.
"What's wrong?" After hearing this, Zhou Ziwen also became serious.
"I heard that you are planning to expand the scale of chicken farming?" Li Lei asked back.
"Yes! Have you heard about it?" Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Yeah, I just ran into Lao Zhao." Li Lei nodded, then frowned and said, "Ziwen, if we expand the scale of chicken farming, the biological feed here will not be enough."
"If it's not enough, just produce more!" Zhou Ziwen was a little slow to react.
"I mean the two crushers in the pig farm are not enough." Li Lei smiled awkwardly.
After hearing what Li Lei said, Zhou Ziwen touched his chin and thought for a long time, "A crusher, this is not easy to make."
"What should we do then?" Wu Dagang asked from the side.
"How about Uncle Wu go to the commune and ask if there are any scrapped crushers?" Zhou Ziwen asked tentatively.
"Okay, I'll go ask." Wu Dagang is now quite wealthy.
The village has made money from growing mushrooms, and the pig farms and chicken farms will soon make money too.
If you can’t afford a new crusher, you can still buy a scrapped crusher.
Seeing Wu Dagang agreed, Zhou Ziwen turned to look at Li Lei and said, "Brother Li, I'll leave the matter of biological feed to you. You must ensure the supply."
"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Li Lei patted his chest and promised.
This matter is actually not that urgent. After all, it will take about twenty days to hatch the chicks. If you prepare more feed during this time, you can last for a while.
After discussing the matter, Zhou Ziwen left the brigade headquarters. (End of this chapter)
