Chapter 162, give a hundred heads first
After an afternoon, Zheng Bajin pulled three carts of asbestos tiles to the pig farm.
Zhang Xiaoyang came over and told Zheng Bajin: "While digging the trench, an unexpected surprise occurred. Here, there is a layer of sand on top, which can be used as sand and gravel for the cement floor in the future."
"The soil below can be used to lay foundations (mud bricks) and build walls. Don't you want to save costs? This can just save the cost of bricks."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said: "It's done well. In this way, the cost of materials has been greatly reduced, and only the labor cost is spent. Tomorrow, we will invite a few more people to lay the soil foundation and dig trenches at the same time.
Anyway, there is plenty of space where you can work freely."
"Okay, I'll invite someone tonight." Zhang Xiaoyang was very happy to receive Zheng Bajin's approval.
He is different from other workers. He only earns ten yuan a day and has to use his brain to do things.
Seeing his happy expression, Zheng Bajin smiled to himself, and said calmly, "From today on, your salary will be raised to fifteen yuan a day, and after one month, it will be four hundred and five yuan."
"Boss, you are so awesome. This is more than two months' salary for a formal teacher." Zhang Xiaoyang was even more excited. He didn't expect that even though he didn't study well, the salary he received was no less than that of a college graduate.
formal job.
Can't you believe that you have this ability?
Zheng Bajin looked at him as happy as a child, and felt funny in his heart. Look at how proud you are. In the future, you will have to be brave enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Don't be too satisfied with the little money you have now. Good times are yet to come.
The next day, Zhang Xiaoyang found five more people, including Wang Chaosheng, the captain and general manager of the third team.
He is one of the first junior high school graduates of the third team. Zheng Bajin admires him very much. He can take another look at the situation and maybe give him more responsibilities in the future.
There is no shortage of labor force in this place, but there is a shortage of educated managers.
Wang Chaosheng didn't have any big arrogance. He heard that Zheng Bajin hired someone to repair the pig farm and paid five yuan a day, so he wanted to give it a try. However, he had to take the lead in voluntary work to repair the river bank.
Zhang Xiaoyang came to him last night and said that he was offering voluntary work so that his wife could come and help him in his pig factory.
After hearing this, Wang Chaosheng happily agreed. Anyway, the river bank was almost finished, and there were specialized masons responsible for laying stones. He would also mix concrete for them, so his wife could do the job.
Qian Youyou, who was volunteering with him, also wanted to help Zheng Bajin. However, his family had no labor force and could not bear to let his mother do the work, so he had to give up.
This man is not yet twenty years old. Since his father Qian Bo's incident, his life has changed and he has been able to support the family by himself.
It is said that when he went out to work as a volunteer, he also worked extremely hard and was no longer the young man who was just eating, drinking and having fun.
Zheng Bajin looked at the pig factory that already had more than a dozen workers and gave each of the workers a puff of smoke.
Zhang Xiaoyang began to allocate work and divided the people into three groups. One group was responsible for picking up the surface sand and gravel to one side and piling it up, one group continued digging trenches, and the other group laid the soil foundation. The remaining two people were responsible for collecting the excavated sand and gravel.
The soil is carried to the open space for the purpose of laying the soil foundation.
Since Mr. Wang Chaosheng had just arrived, he was assigned to the group carrying sand and gravel.
After Zhang Xiaoyang finished dividing, he glanced at Zheng Bajin: "Let's divide it like this for the time being. Then we'll see which side doesn't have enough manpower and adjust it flexibly."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said: "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go to the street to buy some cement and lime. When the time comes, I'll use it to mix concrete and get some steel bars."
Originally, he could manage here and leave the purchase of materials to Zhang Xiaoyang, but he wanted Zhang Xiaoyang to adapt to the work of a manager so that he could shoulder the burden in the future.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, ten days passed and the first batch of pig pens were built.
During this period, Zheng Bajin made a phone call to the director of the Animal Husbandry Bureau in the countryside. The man was very generous and asked someone to send him a hundred piglets first.
Zheng Bajin was very satisfied. One hundred heads were enough for the time being, but he would not be able to find so much food for the time being.
The canteen in the village was also very generous and asked him to try his best to pull out the leftovers, even some bones, and took them all back to the pig farm.
Zheng Bajin asked other workers to go back and rest first, leaving Wang Wangsheng, Qian Youyou, and a woman to manage a hundred pigs.
Now that the river bank has been repaired, Qian Youyou has completely freed up time to work on the pig farm.
Zhang Xiaoyang also temporarily spared time, and together with Zheng Bajin, found the power supply station and connected the electricity to the pig farm.
The two went to the street, found an agricultural machinery company, bought a motor, took it to a repair shop and borrowed a welding machine. After modifying it, it turned into a vegetable cutting machine.
After taking it back to the pig farm, Zheng Bajin asked someone to find some corn stalks and tried it. It was okay. Although it was not too thin, it could still be used.
However, there are too few corn stalks now, and most of them have been eaten by cattle and horses. Zheng Bajin collected it for several days, but it was not enough for a hundred pigs. He could only ask Zhang Xiaoyang to go to the street and collect some of the rice bran first, and then add it to the pigs.
Together, they are then infiltrated with leftover soup water brought from the township government every day.
The pigs looked like they were enjoying their meal.
Zhang Xiaoyang was a little confused: "Brother Zheng, why don't you buy a large amount of leftover soup and water from the restaurant? The cost is low and pigs like to eat it."
"No, you can't eat too much of this stuff. It can only be used as an auxiliary ingredient. Otherwise, the pork will not taste very good." Zheng Bajin thought of the pigs raised specifically with Gushi water in later generations. The meat quality was so poor that even the oil would not solidify.
After eating it once, people don't want to eat it twice.
This is why people in later generations specifically want to buy pork raised with grain in rural areas, and they don't feel sorry for it even if it costs a few yuan more per pound.
However, where are the pigs raised by so many farmers, most of them are feed pigs in large pig farms.
What Zheng Bajin wants to do is not to be used as feed pigs for future generations, but to make original ecological pork raised mainly with vegetables and grains, and with bone meal as seasoning. Only in this way can he become an instant hit in the city and have the opportunity to go out and sell to the market.
All major cities across the country are reserved for wealthy people.
However, where to find so many vegetables to grow now, we can only focus on sugar first.
As long as it lasts a month, the vegetables grown by Xi Shunjin in Haizi Village can be harvested, and some of the vegetables grown by Hu Ying can be harvested, but the quantity is too small.
He believes that as long as he can actually buy the vegetables grown by Xi Shunjin for five cents a pound, others will follow suit and start growing vegetables in large quantities. By then, there will be as much as you want.
Thinking of this, Zheng Bajin took Zhang Xiaoyang and rode a motorcycle to Haizi Village. They saw that Xi Shunjin was planting vegetables. However, there was something wrong with the way he planted them. He first scattered the rapeseeds in the potato rows, and then planted them in the potato rows.
By loosening the soil of potatoes, this saves labor and kills two birds with one stone.
