Chapter 114 Another Addition
"And the late rice must also be high-yielding, so wouldn't each person get an extra 140 to 150 kilograms a year? And there will be fat fish in the fall. Oh, and the first crop of watermelons in our wheat field yielded more than 3,000 kilograms per mu, and there will be another crop in the fall that can yield 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms. Wow, with more than 100 mu of land, wouldn't we get 400 tons of watermelons?
Wow, hahaha, hair, hair, hair!"
The person who was talking couldn't help laughing. Watermelons have just come on the market and the price is high. They can be sold for four or five cents per pound. Even if it's the second crop, it should be one or two cents per pound, right? How much are these in total?
Everyone couldn't help but count on their fingers. It was at least 15,000 yuan. After accounting for the cost and labor, each person shared 17 or 18 yuan. How much did the whole family get?
The villagers of Hetang Village were so surprised that they were almost going crazy, while the villagers of other villages were so envious and jealous that they were almost getting red-eyed. They couldn't help but ask them if they could still catch the last bus this year?
The villagers of Hetang Village waved their hands and pouted, saying, "No, no, there are already a lot of fish in the fields. We can catch them in two or three months. The watermelons are also starting to grow for the second time. You should catch them early next year. We are a little late this year, otherwise we could have harvested three crops of watermelons."
Everyone started to complain to their village chief and village party secretary. At that time, everyone knew about raising fish in rice fields, so how could the village chief and village party secretary of Hetang Village be so determined to allocate 500 mu of rice fields for fish farming? There were also several other villages that allocated dozens of mu of paddy fields and also had a bumper harvest.
All those who were waiting to see Hetang Village make a fool of itself are now blaming and arguing with each other, and finally have no choice but to grit their teeth and decide to follow the pace of next year.
After paying their public grain tax, the villagers of Hetang Village straightened their backs and returned to the village.
The villagers were very enthusiastic. Just after mid-afternoon, they began clamoring for the village head and the village party secretary to directly organize the distribution of the new grain.
The village head and the village party secretary were happy and didn't want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm. They shouted to the villagers to gather at the village committee through the loudspeaker. The village cadres brought out tables and chairs, lined them up, and sat down with clear division of labor.
The villagers of Hetang Village have never been so excited to look forward to the distribution of grain, without any trepidation or worry. This is truly a bumper year, and all this is because of the arrival of the An brothers and sisters, and because of Comrade Fang Yuan's running around to find connections.
Everyone looked at the An siblings and the Fang family with gratitude and love in their eyes.
The village head and the village party secretary took turns speaking with the loudspeaker, "Jiangzhou Province, Fujiang County, Wuqi Commune, Hetang Village Brigade members, the village party secretary and I are particularly happy to congratulate you all. We have ushered in a bumper harvest, 65,000 kilograms of rice and 150 tons of watermelons more than last year. And our late rice, fish in the rice fields, and the second crop of watermelons will also bring a second bumper harvest!"
The villagers clapped their hands until their palms turned red, and shouted excitedly, "Great!"
"This is closely related to everyone's hard work, the scientific rice-fish farming method provided by Comrade An Zhixia, the fundraising by the An family, the Fang family, Comrade Hang Xianglei, and Comrade Nie Yichang to buy fish seedlings, and Comrade Fang Yuan bringing in watermelon seeds and proposing to interplant watermelons in wheat fields!
On behalf of all the members of our Hetang Village Brigade, thank you," the village committee members bowed 90 degrees to An Zhixia and the others.
The team members also bowed, and even some elderly people couldn't help crying with joy. Nothing can make people happier than the increase in grain production and the guarantee of everyone's full stomach!
An Zhixia and the others waved their hands and dodged sideways.
"What I want to say is that we have a great harvest this time, but we must be more vigilant in the second half of the year and nip all hidden dangers in the bud. Only if we don't get complacent and continue to work hard and not slack off, can we have the next great harvest!"
"Yes, don't be proud, keep working hard, don't slack off, and fight against bad elements!"
The team members clenched their fists and shouted slogans in unison.
After drinking the chicken soup, food began to be distributed to each person and household, and each person also got five small watermelons!
Because the village head and the village party secretary had agreed beforehand, the An brothers and sisters did not pay a cent and received the grain they were entitled to for ten work points. The money would only be counted and exchanged at the end of the year.
The second batch of more than one million blue bricks came out of the brick kiln and were directly transferred by An Zhixia to the newly approved breeding farm to build pig houses, sheep houses, cow houses, duck houses and goose houses!
Wuqi Commune is surrounded by mountains and forests. The livestock eat grass and leaves, plus some grains, protein and other balanced nutrition. As long as the scale is controlled, the livestock are raised scientifically and appropriate replanting is carried out, the green mountains and clear waters can be maintained.
The pit left by the brick factory will get bigger and bigger, so An Zhixia plans to build an artificial lake. Raise freshwater fish, shrimp and lotus roots in the lake, raise ducks and geese by the lake, and spend some time on greening, put in some entertainment facilities that are in line with the times, and turn it into an ecological park. Wow, this is another selling point!
She always puts her ideas into practice.
The chicken farm has income every day, and most of the workers at the brick factory like to exchange for blue bricks, so the agricultural and sideline factory has no financial burden. On the farm side, blue bricks are in sufficient supply, and only some wood, cement, sand, etc. need to be purchased, and the cost is not high.
An Zhixia still used blue bricks as wages, attracting a large number of laborers to build a breeding farm for him. Fang Yuan began to look for professionals to learn from, compiled a booklet on raising various livestock and poultry, and also contacted livestock and poultry seedlings.
The farm was built quickly and was completed in just one month. The breeders and grazing workers competed for the jobs and took good care of the little ones.
When everything is back on track, An Zhixia will continue to be a hands-off boss and hand over the farm to Secretary Wang.
She has no plans to plan any other projects. Once the profits come in, she will build all kinds of public facilities. After all, one can't bite off more than one bites off. Wuqi Commune can manage the breeding industry, orchards, brick factories and performance troupe well, while taking care of the work in the fields. This is enough to make the members' lives different every year!
These industries can still bring huge profits even after 20 or 30 years.
The performance troupes in Kyoto, Shanghai, and Shenzhen have sent several letters in the past two months, all of which invite the performance troupe from the agricultural and sideline products factory to visit and perform again, and are trying to find out if there are any new programs. Because of An Zhixia's instructions, Fang Hongye secretly bribed a few inconspicuous staff members and obtained detailed and true information.
The three local performance troupes are the largest and most authoritative in the local area, and those who have become the troupe leaders have their own real skills and are quite flexible. They were inspired by Fang Hongye's selling of programs, and after collecting a wave of performance fees from their own performance troupes, they also sold them at a high price all at once, making a lot of money, so they kept urging the injection of new programs, and the change in attitude before and after was also huge.
An Zhixia held a few letters in her hands, tapping the table regularly with her porcelain-white hands. Thinking of her brother's eagerness to return to the city, it seemed that the performance troupe could be a breakthrough.
