Chapter 636 Raising Angora Rabbits
Jiang Lei filled Bai Jiefang's glass with wine.
"Uncle, we are all family, so I won't hide anything from you. You know how good the policies are now. They have long encouraged everyone to work hard to get rich and reform and open up. How can your family still live like this?"
This is what Jiang Lei finds strange.
If it were before the household contract responsibility system was implemented, he would probably feel that life was not easy, and that was reasonable.
After all, every household is not doing well.
But now the household contract responsibility system has been implemented, and Bai Jiefang and his wife don’t look like lazy people.
Since he is hardworking and capable, and the policy is good, it is a bit strange that his family can still live like this and can't even afford to build a brick house.
Bai Jiefang sighed, "You don't know, no matter how hardworking and capable we are, it's useless! In fact, when you came to our village, you should have seen that there are actually few lands and many people around our village.
The hundreds of households in the village actually have only a few hundred mu of farmland to cultivate, and each household is only allocated one or two mu at most.”
"Why are there so many people but so little land? I see it's flat all around, so theoretically it should be fertile land. It's good land for growing crops, better than the mountains."
Jiang Lei was also puzzled.
"It looks like a flat land, so it should be fertile land. But the land near the river is completely saline-alkali land. You can't grow any crops on this land. Whatever you plant will die.
There are at least thousands of acres of saline-alkali land, and only a few acres of land are left for cultivation. You can imagine, there are many people and little land, and each family has only one or two acres of land. What can they do? After paying the public grain, the rest is just enough to fill their own stomachs, so where is the extra money?
Bai Jiefang took a sip of Jiujiu and felt uncomfortable.
"If that's the case, you might as well go out and work. During the slack season, a few of you can go to the city to work together. You'll always be able to find some work. At least you can earn some money to support your family."
"All the wealthy families in the village go to the city to work. I know that working in the city can earn a lot of money, but my wife and I can't read a word. Last year, we went to the city to work, but we were cheated.
People like us who know nothing dare not rush out to venture out. After all, we have three children at home. If we work all year and don’t earn enough money, how can these children go to school?”
Bai Jiefang is also suffering, for uneducated people like them can't read a single word, so when they go out, they are cheated, and they have no place to seek justice.
Jiang Lei finally understood.
Among my children, even my second sister who has the lowest education level, probably only graduated from junior high school. Although I did not go to high school, I also graduated from junior high school.
For them, it might be easy to go out and do something, but for Bai Jiefang and Cuifen, they couldn't even read a word and went out.
It is indeed easy to be deceived.
If you meet a black-hearted boss and don't get paid after working for a whole year, who would be willing to work there again?
"Well, how about this, you can do some sideline business in the village, raise chickens or rabbits or something. I have a friend who runs a rabbit farm, raising Angora rabbits. When the rabbits grow up, you can sell their fur and skin for money. In addition, rabbit meat can also be sold for money. Rabbits are really full of treasures."
Jiang Lei became interested.
After all, he is Bai Yiyi's uncle. If it can help, make their family rich through hard work and improve their lives, of course we should help.
I can't help with anything else, but at least I can give you some advice.
Bai Jiefang shook his head. "No one in our village has ever raised angora rabbits. Who knows if they can survive? There are a few families in the village who raise chickens, but if they want to open a chicken farm, some people would have to wait until all their chickens died last year. If they lose money, they would have to sell their houses.
I'm afraid we don't even have the money to buy rabbit seeds, let alone raise rabbits."
"Uncle, don't sigh. If you really want to raise Angora rabbits, I can help you find one. My friend is very good at raising Angora rabbits. His rabbit farm is now very large, with more than 500 pairs of Angora rabbits.
The income is very considerable every year. That's tens of thousands of dollars. If you really want to raise rabbits, I'll take you there, and you can see how they raise rabbits and learn the techniques from them. When the time comes, I can ask them to sell you the rabbit seeds on credit, and when you raise your rabbits and sell them, I'll pay them for the rabbit seeds."
Jiang Lei really wants to help.
Cuifen was tempted. They didn't dare to raise chickens, pigs, or rabbits because they didn't have the skills.
It's okay if you raise a small number of them, but once these farmed animals get sick, a large number of them will die.
If there is someone specifically to teach them, they will definitely be able to be raised, there is a very high degree of certainty.
Who doesn't want to make money? The couple dreams of getting rich. It's not that they don't have the ability.
If Jiang Lei is willing to help, he can also help them learn the technology.
This is a good thing, it is hard to find even with a lantern.
"His father should go and have a look."
Bai Jiefang was also tempted. "It won't be too much trouble for you. If they don't want to, forget it. I'm just worried that they don't want to pass on this technology."
What he said was true. There was a family raising pigs in their village.
The Wang family made a lot of money from raising pigs, so they built six big tiled houses, and each of their three sons had a neatly built courtyard and married a new wife. They were the envy of the villagers.
Isn't it just that Old Wang's family is very skilled at raising pigs? They are craftsmen in raising pigs and have their own secret family recipes. They guarantee that there is no swine fever and that they raise the pigs to be fat and strong.
There are families in the village who are close to the Wang family and want to learn from them, but the Wang family keeps things very secretive.
This pig-raising technique must not be known to anyone else.
Apart from his three sons, even his daughter didn't know about it. Old Wang said that this was a skill that should be passed down to sons and not daughters.
With this skill, the three sons will definitely not starve to death.
Jiang Lei smiled and said, "If you really want to learn, I promise my friend can teach you attentively. As long as you study hard, I promise you can become a big rabbit farmer when you come back. My friend is in a village 500 miles away, raising rabbits there. You have nothing to do with us, so it's not a question of who is stealing whose business.
And if you raise rabbits well in the future, people will ask him to buy them all year round, which will bring him business. Don't worry, my friend is a good person. He is a high school student who specializes in breeding. After returning to the village, he started to raise Angora rabbits. He has only been raising them for two years, but his family has a fortune of more than 100,000 yuan. "
Bai Jiefang made up his mind to go and take a look with Jiang Lei.
