For Mengmeng, she has already imagined in her mind the scene of herself leading 10 dogs chasing her father to bite him.
As she thought about it, Mengmeng opened her little mouth and smiled "hehe".
Cao Shujie felt something in his heart. He turned around and looked at the malicious smile on his daughter's face. He had a hunch in his heart that this leaky daughter must not have had a good idea.
"If we can't shoot today, I'll build a castle and find a carpenter to make a car." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin subconsciously asked him: "Can't you use Mengmeng's little cart?"
Cao Shujie shook his head: "That one definitely won't work. It's so ugly. Since you have to do it, you have to put some thought into it. The props must be good, at least it looks like a chariot."
Cheng Xiaolin didn't say anything else.
Carpenters were easy to find. Cao Tiemin, the decorator he was doing, had a master carpenter. Cao Shujie didn't feel embarrassed at all and called him directly to explain the reason.
Cao Tiemin agreed at that time and asked him if he had any drawings of the chariot. He said that since he had built it once, he wanted to make it more realistic. If there were drawings of the chariot, it would definitely be the best.
This put Cao Shujie in a dilemma. He finally told Cao Tiemin that he could find it by searching on the Internet. He didn’t need to make it too big, just make it as large as a cute one.
After all, it is a disposable prop!
Finally, Cao Shujie said to him: "Just tell me how much it will cost, and I will transfer it to you later."
"Make something for my niece, why don't you open your mouth and shut up to ask for money? Do we brothers not want to get along?" Cao Tiemin scolded him.
Cao Shujie laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, when you come back one day, I will treat you to dinner and get more beef from last time."
"By the way, there are also strawberries. Remember to pick more and take them back. If you don't eat them, you may not be able to eat them next month."
"What's going on? It's about to break?" Cao Tiemin asked him.
Cao Shujie responded: "The output is obviously less, and the amount of results must be getting less and less."
"Okay, I'll take some time to pick more and give them to my nieces and nephews to try." Cao Tiemin agreed.
However, Cao Tiemin still remembers the beef he ate at the farm restaurant on the first night of the May Day holiday.
That tastes really delicious!
"Let's just leave it at that. I'll arrange for people to do it today." Cao Tiemin didn't hesitate. After hanging up the phone, he arranged for people to prepare materials and make this thing.
He went online to look up pictures of chariots and found one that looked majestic and looked very handsome at first glance.
It’s okay if you don’t do it, but if you do it, do it well.
Moreover, many materials can be made from scraps, which really don’t cost much. The main thing is labor.
…
Cao Shujie also called Cao Shuchao and the others to help build a simple castle together.
At the very least, there must be city gates and walls. The houses inside the castle don't matter.
There's nothing else to do anyway, just spend more time and do it more decently.
Before I knew it, the morning had passed and the castle looked quite presentable.
"Honey, what do you think?" Cao Shujie pointed to the stacked city gate, feeling a little proud.
Cheng Xiaolin watched from the side, and she was extremely satisfied: "That's great, Shujie, you are so awesome, how did you come up with this idea?"
"Just thinking about it, I'll tell you..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Shujie's cell phone rang again. He didn't want to answer it, but when he took it out, he saw that it was Cui Jingguo calling. He figured that the other party was going to send him a cow, so he answered his call: "
Boss Cui, when will you come over?"
"I have arrived at the bottom of the mountain." Cui Jingguo said.
Cao Shujie never expected Cui Jingguo to move so quickly. He didn't think about anything else and said directly: "You should come up from the mountain road to the north and drive the car directly inside. I will go to the north to wait for you now."
"Okay, wait a few minutes!" Cui Jingguo agreed.
A few minutes later, a tractor-trailer loaded with calves drove from the foot of the mountain to the mountain along the road. Cui Jingguo drove his car ahead.
He sped up and drove onto the hardened road next to him, making way for the tractor-trailer.
Cao Shujie, Cheng Xiaolin, and Cao Shuchao also came to the north from the south.
Mengmeng was still following her mother, looking warily at the tractor-trailer and the calves and slightly larger cows that were full of them. Her little eyes were full of longing for the coming sika deer.
She likes to see those sika deer, they are so beautiful!
"Boss Cui, why are you here so soon?" Cao Shujie saw Cui Jingguo getting out of the car, went up to him, and held Cui Jingguo's hand.
Cui Jingguo laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you delay other people's affairs for a while, but your boss Cao's affairs cannot be delayed for even a minute."
Everyone loves to hear this, and Cao Shujie is no exception.
But he still waved his hand and said: "Boss Cui is too flattering."
Cao Shuchao, Cao Jianjun, Zhu Shengliang and Zhuang Xuesong all helped unload the truck.
This car was delivered according to the order they negotiated in advance.
Among them, there are 100 calves and 10 two-year-old cows, totaling 450,000 yuan.
Cao Shujie himself has a deep experience. Since last year, the cost of buying cattle three times since last year has been much higher than the last time.
This also means that if he wants to continue in this area and can ensure sufficient profits, he must find ways to reduce costs.
Self-propagation and self-support are currently the only way to reduce costs.
The next step is to self-sown forage to supply for breeding and reduce costs in terms of feed.
When Cui Jingguo came to pick strawberries two days ago, the two of them talked about Cao Shujie's plan to breed cows. Cui Jingguo also explained to him the troubles involved, but Cao Shujie still wanted to try it out. Here's the reason.
In Cao Shujie's view, in a crazy and irregular breeding market, all kinds of monsters and monsters will come out at the last moment.
Looking around the market in the past, if some people stir-fry garlic, stir-fry soybeans, stir-fry ginger and onions, and stir-fry pork, then there will inevitably be people who stir-fry beef.
If one day the price of a calf is raised to 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, or even 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a head, then the cost will be raised too high, the profit will be compressed too low, and the breeding may even lose money.
Ordinary people have no way to make money through breeding, and larger farmers are actually very tired, so taking advantage of the initial stage, Cao Shujie wants to explore cow breeding on his own.
After gaining experience, he can buy more cows.
…
Cui Jingguo chatted with Cao Shujie, and he also asked Cao Shujie about sika deer.
I heard Cao Shujie say: "It's a coincidence that you came here. I just went to Boss Ren's sika deer breeding farm yesterday to inspect and visit, and ordered a total of 15 female deer and 5 male deer."
"But the venue here is not up to standard. After I finish the modifications, I will send the sika deer over."
"Boss Cao, you didn't buy much. Why did you only buy 20 heads?" Cui Jingguo asked.
According to his understanding of Cao Shujie's breeding scale, this does not seem to be Cao Shujie's temperament.
Like Cao Shujie raising cattle, he bought 50 cattle for the first time.
The second time was more straightforward and I bought 136 heads at once.
This time it was actually not bad, plus 10 cows, the total was 110.
Thinking of this, Cui Jingguo also joked: "Boss Cao, if you really want to sell these 236 cows, even if you go by the market price of ordinary beef, the price will be nearly 4 million!"
After Cao Shujie heard what he said, he laughed.
As Cui Jingguo said, all his cattle were sold, and the market value was indeed around 4 million.
But Cui Jingguo only counted the income just now, not Cao Shujie's investment.
Not to mention anything else, for the two batches of 246 calves purchased this year, Cao Shujie's total investment cost reached 681,200 yuan.
If you add in the input of feed, pasture, and labor during this period, this number will only be higher.
The profit from a cow is far less than imagined.
Moreover, it takes at least one year for each batch of cattle to be sold from purchase to slaughter.
One year later, no one can guarantee whether the price of beef will rise or fall!
Profit and loss will always be unknown until the sale comes.
While they were talking here, all 100 calves and 10 cows had been driven from the trailer to the breeding farm.
I saw that the 100 calves and ten cows that had just arrived were a little unable to adapt to a new environment.
Especially since there were already 136 cows in this area, the new wave and the previous wave formed two groups.
Cao Shujie was no stranger to this. Cui Jingguo also told him the method and told him that within three days at most, the problem would no longer exist.
But Cui Jingguo also mentioned something to Cao Shujie.
It is best to raise 10 cows separately from other calves.
Cao Shujie is a person who is good at listening to suggestions, so he nodded immediately.
When we were ready to replace the fence, we took the replacement fence and divided the 100 acres of land, leaving part of it for the cows.
What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Cao Zhenggang arrived very quickly.
Before Cui Jingguo left, Cao Zhenggang rode an electric bike to the mountain.
