Old Mrs. Ji drank a cup of tea. This tea was brought back by Guaibao from Beijing. It tasted delicious. "Indeed, you won't be able to enjoy your granddaughter's filial piety in the future. Otherwise, ask your daughter Xinyi not to go. I see you are so reluctant to let her go."

"How can we, as parents, prevent our children from being happy?"

Listening to Ji Meihua's sarcastic boasting, Old Lady Ji almost couldn't help but chase her out with a broom.

"Your granddaughter is the one who loves the country and has found a good partner."

"Ruoqing is a promising girl. She is already a doctor at such a young age. She will have great potential in the future."

"Miss Ruoqing, you haven't found a boyfriend yet, right? I have a nephew who looks pretty good..."

Old Lady Ji couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her nephew, who was only 1.7 meters tall, wanted to introduce him to her sweetheart? "My sweetheart is still young, not even an adult yet. I said before that I wanted to keep her for a few more years. Okay, I have to cook for my sweetheart, let's go, let's go."

Old Mrs. Ji started to chase people away.

The old ladies all left.

After the summer harvest, the Shen brothers went to work part-time again. However, because the village was going to build a clinic, they did not go out to find part-time jobs, but helped build the clinic in the village. Although the centimeters were a little low, it was close.

Shen Ruoqing ran to Captain Tang's house to discuss something.

What to discuss?

Discuss breeding matters.

These days, buying and selling is not allowed, but it is still possible if it is in the name of a collective.

Shen Ruoqing originally thought that this plan would be put off until the next few years, but he didn't expect it to be put on the agenda so early.

"Ruoqing girl, the thing you said about opening a breeding farm is not a small matter." The village party secretary smoked the cigarette handed to him by Shen Ruoqing, "Our village has made some money in the past two years, but all the money was invested in the health center. Now there is no money in our village account."

"I'll figure out the funding issue, Village Party Secretary. I'm not doing this for myself, but for all the villagers. Think about it, the Hongqi Brigade lives better than ours, isn't it because they have a brick kiln? And the Guolin Brigade, their centimeters are more valuable than ours, isn't it just that they opened a cannery? As for our brigade, we have nothing." Shen Ruoqing said with a smile.

"As long as this farm is open, and we encourage all the people in the brigade to engage in breeding, and lead the whole village to become rich, it will also be your contribution. Moreover, I have a scientific pig-raising method. The pigs raised scientifically can be sold in half a year, and I will definitely not lose money. The pork market is so tight now, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them."

Captain Tang exhaled a puff of smoke. "That's true, but where do we get so many piglets? Actually, we considered raising pigs two years ago, but it was too difficult to do, mainly because piglets are too difficult to handle. Moreover, even if we get piglets, what about pig feed? Where can we get so much grass to feed the pigs?"

Deputy Captain Qi also said, "Yes, and if there is a plague, all the money will be wasted. Ruoqing girl, this matter should be considered seriously. And you said you will find a way to deal with the funding issue, what can you come up with?"

Shen Ruoqing watched as the three of them finished their cigarettes and gave each of them another one.

"The funding issue is very simple. We can apply for a bank loan. If we apply in the name of the collective, the loan will definitely be approved. And now I know that the interest rate of bank loans is very low. I will take care of the piglets. I know a friend who can get a lot of piglets for our village. As for pig feed, I can get some oil residue. What I mean is that we should not only set up a breeding farm, but also a bacon factory. We can produce and sell our own food and do food processing."

"Ruoqing girl, you are really bold!" Captain Tang didn't expect that this girl not only wanted to do breeding, but also wanted to open a non-staple food factory directly! "If you can get piglets, then it is still feasible to open a pig farm. But if you open a non-staple food factory, the risk is too great." The village party secretary said.

"Yes, and the bank may not be able to lend that much money." Deputy Captain Qi said.

"Captain Tang, Deputy Captain Qi, and the village party secretary, think about it. The price of smoked meat and bacon is twice as much as that of live pigs. Which one is more profitable, running a factory or raising pigs? Of course, I think it is more profitable to run a factory and raise pigs together. Moreover, if we set up a factory, we can also provide jobs for people in our village. Think about it, the fruit forest brigade is doing so well, isn't it because they have planted fruit trees and opened a canning factory? They don't even use the public account when they go to meetings, isn't it because the brigade is rich and confident? Zhongxing Brigade can become the second fruit forest brigade. As long as we have this idea, I believe the commune will definitely support it, and then the loan issue will be much easier to handle."

"What if we can't pay back that much money? It's not a small amount!" The village party secretary was still a little hesitant. "In my opinion, we should just open a breeding farm first. If the breeding farm is effective, it won't be too late to consider other things."

Deputy Captain Qi also nodded: "I think the village party secretary is right."

Captain Tang also said: "Ruoqing girl, we can sell the pigs we raise to the meat processing plant, but if we open a bacon factory ourselves, what if the bacon can't be sold? The sales volume cannot be guaranteed, and the risk is too great."

Shen Ruoqing knew that if he didn't come up with something, he wouldn't be able to convince these people.

So she took out a piece of smoked meat made by Han Guizhi from her bag.

"This is the side dish I want our brigade to make. I named it Zhongxing Smoked Pork. Captain Tang, I'd like to borrow your kitchen for a while."

Shen Ruoqing went to the kitchen of Captain Tang's house.

After a busy period, Shen Ruoqing brought a plate of brightly colored smoked meat and placed it on the table.

"Everyone, come and try this bacon."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There was free meat to eat, and Deputy Captain Qi was the first to pick up his chopsticks.

“This tastes pretty good!”

Captain Tang also stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite. The skin was tender and the meat was consistent inside and out, with bright color and mellow taste. It was not greasy and not lean enough to get stuck in the teeth.

“This tastes really good.”

Shen Ruoqing smiled and said, "How is it? Do you still think this thing can't be sold?"

Nowadays, every household is short of oil and water. If the smoked meat tastes so good, there will be no worries about sales.

“How is this thing made?”

"It's not easy to make it so delicious. First, you need to prepare more than a dozen spices. There are also some requirements when cooking the meat. You have to cook it over a slow fire so that the flavors of the spices can be absorbed by the meat. Then there are also some requirements when smoking the meat. You have to use special techniques. Although it sounds complicated, it's still relatively easy once you get the hang of it. It just requires more steps. But I guarantee that once this thing is launched, it will definitely be a best-seller. I'm going to donate this recipe for free as the secret recipe of our Zhongxing Subsidiary Food Factory."

Captain Tang was a little amused: "Ruoqing girl, you came here well prepared. You even came up with a name for the factory."
