My 1995 Small Farm - Vol 2 Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Virgin Treasure Land

In short, the little ox bought by Ermao Donkey is really stubborn, more stubborn than many donkeys, and it is too difficult to deal with.

But that’s all the tossing about this night.

Let the villagers know his original intention of buying cattle suddenly this year.

It was because I heard that Chen Ling was recommending local yellow beef to many outsiders, and seeing that Chen Ling had bought three yellow cattle this year, so he followed Chen Ling’s lead and bought them.

As soon as the news spread, everyone began to ponder in private whether they should also follow Chen Ling’s **** and go to Jishang to buy a scalper to raise.

After all, following others to raise fish does not cost less money.

Even if the pond is smaller, it will be raised by the way. Grinding some thatch and straw for feeding pigs and livestock as fish feed is much better than going outside to work.

So in the next two days, people who already had livestock at home went to the village, or went to the nearby market to see and buy cattle without any hesitation.

One is that he knows that following Chen Ling can make a fortune, and the other is that he has experience in raising livestock.

As for those who have never raised livestock at home, they are more cautious.

Although he knew that he could make money by following Chen Ling’s path, raising an extra animal at home was really a big burden.

After more than 30 years, there are still many people who have not escaped poverty, let alone the present age.

Life is tight, and many of them are reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars to buy calves.

Reluctance to return to reluctance.

But some people gritted their teeth and followed suit.

I am afraid that I will miss some opportunity to make money, and I will regret it later.

Now that since the village has made money selling fish, quite a few people have privately decided to follow in Chen Ling’s footsteps.

If you can’t learn it by yourself, don’t learn it by force, but as long as you can follow suit, you can’t miss a single thing.

It is okay to raise fish, but why not raise cattle?

So, in the next two or three days, more than a dozen large and small cattle were directly added to the village.

In the morning and afternoon, as long as you have free time, the entire river beach is full of cattle herders, which can be said to be spectacular.

As far as this is concerned, there are still many people who have not been able to buy the calf they like.

Livestock are cheap this year, and many people don’t want to sell them at such a low price. It’s okay to raise them at home first, and then sell them when the price is high.

It is quite difficult to buy a calf that you like in just one place in Changle Township.

Still have to go to Daji in other villages and towns to find them.

Chen Ling has no objection to the fact that the villagers follow suit and buy their own cattle. After his recommendation a few days ago, many outsiders gave very good comments on the local beef. If the road is repaired, these people will come here next year. I believe that killing one or two cows will definitely not be difficult to sell beef.

But that is for the future, now he has to prepare for the opening of the orchard.

The apricot, peach, and pear trees planted in the orchard all bear fruit this year.

Pear trees are not in a hurry, they will not be harvested until autumn.

Apricots and peaches are almost next to each other, with a difference of more than one month, at most no more than two months.

As the old saying goes: Wheat is yellow, apricots are ripe.

When the wheat is yellow in May of the lunar calendar, a large number of apricots will ripen.

Peaches ripen intensively between June and July of the lunar calendar after the wheat has been harvested.

Pears can be stored for a long time after picking, but apricots and peaches cannot be stored for a long time.

Pick it up and sell it.

That is to say, while selling apricots, we have to prepare for the wheat harvest. After the wheat harvest is over, ten and a half months later, the peach garden will also open…

Now let’s see how the apricots sent to Liu Jiancheng are selling.

If it sells well, just hire some people to pick it. If it doesn’t sell well, just ask Han Chuang to take it away and make canned food.

So if I say I’m busy, I won’t be too busy.

It’s just that they didn’t wait for Liu Jiancheng’s feedback, but they waited for Tian Hongli, a second-hand dealer.

He actually followed the little sheep directly after the little sheep handed him the fish.

He didn’t go anywhere else in the village, but went straight to Chen Ling’s farm.

At this time, Chen Ling was observing the spring that broke through the mountain wall on the west edge of the orchard. Beside him were the little white cow and the little green horse, drinking the cold mountain spring water with their heads down. They sensed that someone was coming , all turned their heads and stared at each other.

“Brother Chen is so leisurely. He drinks horses and herds cattle every day. He is too comfortable.”

Tian Hongli has a round head and round brain, with a round general belly, and he smiles like Maitreya Buddha as soon as he comes.

“Haha, I’m alone, but Boss Tian, ​​who came here after such a long journey, looks so good. It seems that he has made a fortune recently.”

Chen Ling clapped his hands and smiled.

At the same time, he nodded to the little sheep behind Tian Hongli.

When Tian Hongli heard this, not only did he not deny it, but he leaned forward, with a wicked smile on his face, and said in a low voice, “Hey, Brother Chen, let me tell you, thanks to your fish recently…”

Why did he come here in person this time? It’s because after collecting the ornamental fish from Chenwangzhuang, he didn’t even go to the capital, and sold them directly in the provincial capital.

Even those colleagues came to his door one after another to buy his fish.

This is certainly due to the outstanding appearance of these ornamental fish, but more importantly, Tian Hongli’s first-hand publicity.

Not only paid for the newspaper, but also printed a pair of advertising paper, and found people to distribute leaflets everywhere all day long.

Everywhere it is claimed that his fish is unusual, it is a fish raised in a place where giant turtles and water monsters are born, it is spiritual, easy to feed, and good-looking.

Buy it back and you will be blessed and so on.

There were also some black and white group photos printed on the newspaper and advertising paper, all of which he took in Chenwangzhuang a while ago.

This fiddler said it cost money, but it didn’t cost much, but the effect was really unexpected.

This is also the light of the provincial capital TV station.

People broadcast the story of Giant Tortoise in the Reservoir several times last year on TV programs, and newspapers also have relevant news, and this year there will be a rebroadcast, reporting the reappearance of Giant Tortoise this year.

This guy didn’t make the giant tortoise in the reservoir well-known in their own province.

Tian Hongli really stoked a wave of enthusiasm.

For a while, his business was booming.

These days, not to mention ornamental fish, the fish tanks are all sold out.

He came here this time, and he turned his idea to other aquatic products, because he had eaten local fish and shrimp, and he felt that the taste was very good.

If you want to meet again after this fiery time, it will be very difficult.

Moreover, he has long discovered that people here are not very interested in fishing fish and shrimp in rivers and reservoirs, and the prices are extremely low, so it can be said that they cannot be sold at all.

what does this mean?

means that this place is completely an undeveloped virgin land.

If he doesn’t take this opportunity to make a big hit, then it’s a waste of time to travel all over the world for so many years.

“Yes, this business can be done, but if you want to buy aquatic products from us, you still have to talk to our brigade first. The fish and shrimp in the reservoir and Laohewan belong to the village collective, and this is not a matter of one family.”

Chen Ling had planned before that if Little Sheep did a good job, he would hand over the aquatic products to him one after another. Now that Tian Hongli has made such a move, it is exactly what he wants.

“Besides, let me tell you in advance that the village is the village, and I am me. The fish and shrimp I raise here cannot be purchased at ordinary prices.”

This matter was not something Chen Ling deliberately made special.

The water source environment on his side is different, and the fish and shrimp raised are several grades higher than ordinary river fish.

Selling it at the normal price, he really lost money to his grandma.
