Chapter 124 Iron Rice Bowl
The poultry breeding base has become much quieter since the provincial motor factory started shipping large quantities of goods. Now, there are only about 20 people working in the entire farm.
After the meeting early in the morning, Wang Yuanchao called Wang Hua into the office to check the data.
"Today, our farm has sold 1,600 pigs, with a total weight of 352,000 kilograms."
"As for sheep, 1,600 were slaughtered, with a total weight of 240,000 kilograms,"
"As for chickens, ducks and geese, we sold a total of 5,000. We got a bargain for this kind of live poultry. The provincial motor factory only counted them by the piece, not by weight."
"We still have 400 pigs and sheep left, and 1,000 chickens, ducks and geese. The provincial motor factory hasn't come to pick up goods for many days. Now our Hongqi Brigade has harvested half of the autumn harvest.
The weather seems to be getting colder day by day. I guess we will have to wear cotton-padded jackets in two days.
Although the remaining poultry we have is still growing meat every day, it is not a good idea to just leave it like this.”
Wang Yuanchao was indeed thinking about the breeding next year. Nowadays, pork is more expensive than mutton and other meats.
Moreover, pigs can grow meat better than sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry. Next year, we must reduce the breeding of sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, and raise pigs on a large scale. This will be more cost-effective for the entire poultry breeding base. After listening to Wang Hua's words, Wang Yuanchao comforted him:
"It's okay, sister-in-law. The poultry in our farm is in great demand right now. The reason why the Provincial Electric Motor Factory didn't arrange for people to ship the poultry is probably that they are exchanging the remaining poultry for supplies and currying favors. But the weather is indeed getting colder and colder. In a while, our Red Flag Brigade will have to pay the public grain and distribute the grain. We at the farm really need to find a way to urge the Provincial Electric Motor Factory to do so. We can't let them keep dragging it out like this."
Wang Hua looked at Wang Yuanchao worriedly and said, "Yuanchao, this is not good. The Provincial Electric Machinery Factory obviously wants us to raise the remaining poultry a little longer and grow more meat before taking them away. If we go and urge them, will it affect the Provincial Electric Machinery Factory's assistance to us next year?"
Wang Yuanchao shook his head in amusement and said:
"Sister-in-law, you don't know how much of a sensation the Provincial Motor Factory has become in the city this year. Even if the Provincial Motor Factory wants to help us on a larger scale next year, it probably won't work.
Do you think that the cadres from the Municipal Audit Office really came to our Red Flag Brigade to help farmers this time?
They have long been eyeing our poultry breeding base. This group of people is probably here to find out the details. Our poultry breeding base will definitely be expanded next year. I heard Secretary Zeng talk about it. According to preliminary estimates, we will build a breeding farm that is twice as large as the current one next year. In addition to the Provincial Electric Motor Factory and the Municipal Statistics Bureau, many other departments and enterprises are vying to help our Hongqi Brigade's poultry breeding base. Sister-in-law, you can rest assured."
Wang Hua now divides his time between home and the farm every day, and is not as well-informed about village news as before.
So when Wang Hua heard what Wang Yuanchao said, he was stunned and said, "Yuanchao, isn't this just destroying the bridge after crossing the river in our village?"
Wang Yuanchao shook his head and said, "This is just like crossing a river and destroying the bridge. Our current breeding farm was built with the help of the provincial motor factory.
Next year, they will naturally continue to provide us with point-to-point assistance. As for the newly built poultry breeding base, hey, let me tell you, even if we ask the provincial motor factory to continue to provide assistance, it will not dare to do so.
We are a piece of fat meat here, so many people are staring at us.
How could the provincial motor factory alone afford such a large amount of money?
Sister-in-law, don't worry."
Wang Hua smiled speechlessly and suddenly asked, "Who will be the manager of the new farm to be built next year?"
"Who else could it be? Secretary Zeng and the team leader have been pressuring me, saying that those who are capable should do more work. This has suddenly increased my workload by more than double, and my salary has not been guaranteed. It's really annoying."
Hearing this, Wang Hua breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, covering his mouth.
Wang Hua knew that the reason his family had lived so comfortably throughout the whole year was because of Wang Yuanchao. Wang Yuanchao had helped a lot.
Therefore, Wang Hua does not want Wang Yuanchao to do a good job and then be replaced by someone else for no apparent reason or have others take advantage of him.
Fortunately, management is not that easy, and Wang Yuanchao does not bring outsiders, so it is not easy to replace him.
In fact, Wang Hua didn't know that if he had a choice, Wang Yuanchao would rather not manage this poultry breeding base. Instead, Wang Yuanchao would rather simply go out to work on the fields. This kind of life is much simpler and he would have more time to rest every year.
"Sister-in-law, you stay at the farm for a while. I'll go to the village committee to find Secretary Zeng and ask him how he arranges for the poultry in the farm."
"Okay, Yuan Chao, you go ahead. Anyway, there's not much to do on the farm right now, I can take care of it."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
After walking out of the farm, Wang Yuanchao walked towards the village committee. Along the way, Wang Yuanchao felt that he was such a jerk. He had nothing to do all day long. He was not at ease with his comfortable life. He always wanted to find something to do, but he had already promised his mother-in-law and young wife not to go up the mountain anymore. It was not good to go up the mountain again and continue to make his wife worry. After arriving at the village committee, he happened to see Secretary Zeng sending a group of people in cadre uniforms out.
After Secretary Zeng sent the people away, Wang Yuanchao took out a Daqianmen cigarette and handed it to Secretary Zeng, then took out a match and lit it for Secretary Zeng.
"Why are you here today, kid?"
"Hey, isn't this just a habit of being busy every day?
I haven't seen any trucks from the Provincial Motor Factory coming to pick up goods in the past two days.
Are you unsure and want to ask about the situation? "
Secretary Zeng did not hide anything. He knew that Wang Yuanchao was worried about this matter. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Hey, the people from the Provincial Electric Motor Factory were in a hurry to bring the goods back because they were afraid that they could not withstand the pressure. The pigs were taken away before they were sold out. Now that they have brought back the live poultry they planned to buy,
Of course there is no rush. They can slowly exchange the remaining goods with other units for benefits.
I guess the poultry in the farms have already been replaced by them, so they are not in a hurry now."
"Hey, if it weren't for the Red Flag Brigade following the rules,
How could we let them take all the benefits? Secretary, didn't the motor factory give you leaders any thanks? Aren't you afraid that something strange will happen here?"
Secretary Zeng knew that some things could not be hidden from Wang Yuanchao, so he chuckled and whispered, "After the New Year, the provincial motor factory will expand its scale and will recruit workers. A notice will be sent out to let young people from nearby brigades take the exam.
Several cadres in our Red Flag Brigade have a quota in their hands."
Wang Yuanchao was not envious, he just rolled his eyes and said:
"Secretary, are you really going to send you away with just this little bit of stuff?"
"Hey, kid, this is a stable job, something most people would never be able to get, a good thing that can be passed down from generation to generation, how come you only have this little thing in your mouth?"
