"What brigade has bought tractors?"
Ordinary brigades can’t afford to buy tractors?
A tractor costs at least more than two thousand.
"Are you guys stopping by the county to deliver some goods?"
Fang Aijun smiled and glanced at Ji Yuanhang who was driving in front. "Of course I'm here to deliver goods. Now that I've bought a tractor, it's not as troublesome as before to deliver goods to the county town."
Nowadays, they spread some straw on the bottom of the tractor's truck bed and load baskets of braised duck eggs into them. Now their duck farm really has no shortage of baskets.
They have also expanded to another supply and marketing cooperative in the county.
The county town is so big, it is impossible for there to be only one supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative next to the train station sells the best-selling braised duck eggs from their duck factory.
Nowadays, their duck factory has two flavors of braised duck eggs, one is five-spice flavor and the other is spicy flavor. The spicy flavor is generally liked by young comrades, while the five-spice flavor is liked by the elderly and children.
"How are my uncle's team feeding the ducks?"
Fang Aijun spoke immediately.
Wang Wenwen sat aside and watched them talk about work.
Her father often said that their town was relatively poor and not as rich as other towns.
He also said that Jiaojiao was capable of great things.
"The wheat harvest is coming up in May, and we have to pay grain taxes. Can we apply again? The duck farm has more and more ducks, and we can't not feed them."
"We've been waiting for you to come back and submit your application." Ji Yuanhang, who was driving in front, heard the two people chatting in the truck bed.
Submit an application to develop a collective factory.
"Okay, apply early so we can determine how much food we have this year."
"Now the children in the brigade have started to get busy. Not only do they have to hand in pig grass for the pig farm, but they also have to hand in grass for our duck farm. I'm responsible for registering it and will calculate the payment based on work points before the New Year."
This direct and clear statement made the elderly in the village unwilling to stay at home. They could not carry the heavy baskets, but they could cut grass for the pigs and have their family members carry it and then hand it over to the duck farm.
"Fang Zhiqing, can you ask the machinery factory about the grinding machine? That way, our employees won't have to grind up pigs to feed them. Later, we can grind corn leaves and rice straw to feed ducks. These are all green grass feed."
"There is also this machine?" Fang Aijun was confused. He didn't think too much about it.
Zhao Jiaojiao laughed dryly twice, "Aren't you just trying to be lazy?"
Halfway through the journey, Fang Aijun took over driving the tractor. They had been taking turns driving during the past few deliveries. Now, apart from Zhao Jiaojiao, only Fang Aijun and Ji Yuanhang were driving in the team. Zhao Jianguo could also drive, but his lame leg made it inconvenient for him to step on the accelerator.
"Ji Zhiqing, the duck farm has quite a few drakes. Let's keep half of them for egg preparation while we make some salted duck. What do you think?"
Zhao Jiaojiao knew that the duck factory didn't have much money on its books. Building a freezer would cost at least several thousand yuan, and it would also require electricity.
Their brigade doesn't have electricity yet.
"Building a freezer and getting electricity, I wonder how much it's going to cost, all in all?"
Ji Yuanhang has become accustomed to days without electricity, but he bought a flashlight at their duck factory, which would be more convenient if there was any movement at night.
"If we want to connect electricity and have the town draw power, we'll probably need the county's approval." After all, it's such a big project.
"One step at a time."
"Indeed."
When they arrived in town, Wang Wenwen said goodbye to them and got off the car.
"The wall of our duck farm is still too simple. It would be better to build it with bricks and tiles."
