Chapter 443 Hongjia Village 8
Outside the mountains, the number of people registered in one household registration book is almost enough to fill the population of an entire production team.
The situation is similar in other household registration books in the village. Each household has a population of fifty to sixty or sixty to seventy people. The household with the fewest people in the household registration book died due to natural disasters in those years. They ate poisonous mushrooms and dozens of people died. Only these dozen people survived.
Ziyi and Yike sighed after hearing this, and were thankful that they did not travel back to those years.
The breeding farm in Hongjia Village was officially opened, and chicken coops and rabbit houses were built immediately.
Ziyi and Yike discussed the result with the village chief that evening.
The next day, when the decision was announced, the villagers of Hongjia Village were so happy that they wanted to fly up and touch the clouds in the sky to see if they were dreaming. If they could touch the clouds, it was a dream, and dreams would give them everything.
The village chief gave each of them a hard slap on the face. Everyone touched their foreheads and looked at the village chief, who was also their clan leader, accusingly.
The village chief assisted Chen Dawang in recruiting temporary workers to help with the work. Ziyi asked that the chicken coop and rabbit house be built before the New Year. At the same time, he also went to the commune to report that the machinery factory was going to set up a branch in Hongjia Village in order to help the poor mountainous areas, specifically to solve the living problems of the machinery factory.
The commune leaders were more than happy to accept this and promised to let them use the land as long as they handed over a portion of their production income to the commune.
Ziyi and Yike, the two time travelers, never thought that the commune did not even conduct an investigation. They only looked at Ziyi's work permit and letter of introduction and immediately agreed. They also let them decide for themselves how much land to use and let the village chief decide how much land to use, which would then be reported to the commune for filing. They also hinted that there were many villages with convenient transportation outside that could also be used by the machinery factory.
Ziyi and Yike, the two time travelers, were dumbfounded. The land that was extremely valuable in their previous life was like a sale here.
The two of them have always been in a misunderstanding. This is not the world of the previous life, and the historical trajectory will also be deviated, so the two of them can boldly try to change the backward appearance of the countryside first and promote the rapid development of history.
The two decided to change their strategy next year and not just sit there and wait.
Yike and Ziyi originally planned to stay in Hongjia Village for one day and then leave, but they ended up staying for five days.
If they hadn't wanted to return to Taoyuan Village to attend Du Jiankang's wedding, they would have wanted to stay a few more days.
Before leaving, they arranged everything.
The problem was solved perfectly during this trip to Hongjia Village. Ziyi called Tang Jianguo at the commune to inform him to send food to Hongjia Village, and Hongjia Village should speed up the construction of chicken coops and rabbit houses.
Hongjia Village is not suitable for pig farming, but is suitable for growing bean products. Yi Ke suggests planting soybeans, sorghum and peas on a large scale next year.
In addition to making bean paste, soybeans can also be used to make tofu skin, and peas can be used to make pea flour, etc. Other beans such as broad beans and mung beans should also be grown, but in smaller quantities.
At this time, the advantage of Hongjia Village's large population became apparent. There was no need to recruit temporary workers from outside, as the people of Hongjia Village themselves were enough to handle the manpower.
Now, every household in Hongjia Village has one person who is a regular employee of the machinery factory branch. They receive a salary every month, and the others are considered temporary workers.
The name of the branch of the machinery factory is not the machinery factory, but the "Xingfu Xingnong Branch."
From then on, in addition to handing over a portion of the grain produced collectively by Hongjia Village as public grain, all the beans were purchased by Hongwu and used as materials for the sauce factory.
Now, the people of Hongjia Village no longer have to worry about having nowhere to sell their high-yield beans, and they can also make money.
So, the next year, the village chief planted beans and sorghum in all the places where beans could be grown. These two crops have the highest yields here. The sauce room of Douzi Yike was acquired and the Gaoliang Happiness Factory was acquired. As the planting of rice and wheat was reduced and there was not enough to pay the public grain tax, they decided to buy them from other villages. After the village chief announced this series of decisions at a public meeting, even though it was not yet the holiday, the people of Hongjia Village were as happy as if it were a holiday.
Du Jiankang’s wedding date was getting closer, and Ziyi and Yike had to go back to Taoyuan Village.
Ziyi and Yike took Hongxing away, and Chen Dawang stayed. After Tang Jianguo delivered the food, he also assisted Chen Dawang in his work.
In fact, it is very easy to build chicken coops and rabbit houses here, because there are rocks of all sizes everywhere on the mountain and there is little need for hammering.
The ground was simply natural slate, and they only needed to fill in the gaps with a small amount of cement and sand.
But the wall is not as convenient as Taoyuan Village because there are no trees here. No, there are very few trees. So they had to build the wall with stones.
It is easy to build a rabbit breeding ground as the walls do not need to be too high. However, the same cannot be said for chicken breeding grounds as if the walls are too low the chickens will fly out.
In order to reduce the workload, Ziyi decided to build the chicken fence as high as the rabbit fence. He asked Tang Jianguo to buy wire and use wire mesh to block the upper part of the fence.
Ziyi, Yike and Hongxing went to pick up Li Haoran and Zhang Yuling first. They thought Li Haoran would not have time to leave, but Li Haoran decided to go back.
So they bought a lot of things and took a boat back from Yitiantian. The return journey only took two and a half days. Li Haoran kept exclaiming that taking a boat was faster than walking on the mountain road.
When they returned to Taoyuan Village, red cloth had already been hung up in the village, and the whole village was filled with joy.
"Sister Yike, Sister Yike," as soon as Yike arrived at the gate, Xu Chaoqun ran over cheering.
Yike squatted down and hugged Xu Chaoqun, who was stumbling while running, "Sister, I miss you so much." Xu Chaoqun hugged Yike's neck and hung on her body and refused to get down.
"Sister misses you too. Look, my hair has turned white because of missing you." Yike lowered her hair covered with white frost to show him.
"Sister, you are lying. This is dew." Xu Chaoqun wiped Yi Ke's head with his chubby little hands, "Look, it's gone now."
"Hahaha, my great little brother is so smart." Yike kissed him on his chubby face.
"Sister, I'm a brother now. I've grown up. There are differences between men and women. You can't kiss me anymore." Xu Chaoqun said with a straight face, "If you really want to kiss, go kiss your younger brother. He's still young."
"Hahaha, ouch, I can't hold it anymore, I'm dying of laughter." Yi Ke laughed so hard that his hands lost strength and he let go of Xu Chaoqun, "You can't kiss me, let alone hug me."
"Then, I'll hold my sister's hand and walk." Xu Chaoqun really stopped hugging Yike and instead held one of Yike's little fingers.
"Xiao Chaoqun is so cute!" Hong Xing praised.
"Aunt, I'm only a little bit cuter than brother Maoye. Brother Maoming and brother Maoye are also very cute." Xu Chaoqun said like a little adult.
"Yes, your brothers Maoming and Maoye are cute too."
