Hello, 1983

Chapter 151 Where have the bulls gone?

"Hello, 1983 ()"

For everyone's reaction, Liu Qingshan still had some expectations.

In this era, let alone farmers, there are very few people who dare to take out loans.

Banks are in a hurry, and they are looking for loans from you, and the interest rates are extremely low, and even for a few years, they have even made large amounts of interest-free loans.

Even so, under the influence of attitudes, there are very few lenders.

Liu Qingshan didn't persuade him too much, but said cheerfully, "Last year, we took out a loan of 10,000 yuan, and it didn't take a few months to repay it."

Seeing many people nodding, he continued to state the facts: "With the ten thousand yuan loan, let's build greenhouses and cultivate pig farms. Let's do the math. How much did we earn Jiapigou for these two?"

The owner of the car is a village accountant, and he is most familiar with this. He blurted out: "The greenhouse made 9,800, and the pig farm made a net profit of 24,000."

"Yes, without a loan of 10,000 yuan, can we borrow more than 30,000 yuan by borrowing chickens to lay eggs?"

Liu Qingshan continued to ask a question with a smile.

The people in the room, although they all knew this amount, were still shocked: they really hadn't calculated this amount.

It’s not that I don’t know, but I was startled. It seems that the loan thing is not so scary, right?

For a while, everyone didn't speak, the team room was silent, only heavy breathing remained.

For a long time, the old party secretary and Captain Zhang looked at each other and nodded together, and then the old party secretary asked, "Qingshan, how much are we going to borrow this time?"

Liu Qingshan knew that everyone was persuaded, the facts were in front of them, everyone tasted the sweetness, and there was no reason to refuse.

So he smiled and said, "I guess it would cost 50,000 yuan anyway. Since raising dairy cows, it doesn't make much sense to raise ten or eight cows. No matter what, you have to have 180 cows to be considered small and large."

Seeing that everyone could still hold on, and was not frightened by this amount, he continued:

"I went to the dairy factory in the county yesterday. They happened to have a project to support farmers in raising dairy cows. They can directly help contact the dairy farm and even help with the loan process."

"That's daring!"

Captain Zhang also looked happy. As farmers, they were most afraid to go out and ask for help.

But then, his face collapsed again: "Just relax and hurry up these days, and suddenly there is another famine."

"Hey, don't itch if you have more lice, don't worry if you have a lot of debt."

Zhang Ganzi is an optimist, and he is laughing and teasing with Captain Zhang.

As a result, Captain Zhang kicked him on the ass: "I think your skin is itchy, so hurry up and work on the pig farm."

"Okay, I'll go as a pig herd, but if you want to raise dairy cows, you have to choose a cattle herd."

Zhang Ganzi is now proud of being a pig herd, and he is helping to worry while walking out.

Although he has never raised dairy cows, Zhang Lao Liner, who used to raise livestock in the production team, is definitely an expert.

Liu Qingshan handed him the book on raising dairy cows, and Zhang Lao Linger flipped through it for a long time before saying a word.

"I don't know the words."

"I can't read and tell your little son to read it to you."

Captain Zhang felt that it was necessary to build a reading room on the side of the team headquarters, and asked the villagers to strengthen their studies. It would be ridiculous if everyone was illiterate.

And if raising cows really does happen, it will require a lot of manpower: shepherding the cows, feeding the cows, cleaning up the manure, and milking the cows, none of which is light.

At that time, a special dairy cow group will also be established.

Don't be illiterate, Zhang Lao Liner has a lot of experience in feeding animals, so he directly asked a question: "How to solve the feed?"

It's half a year here. There is no tender grass for the livestock to eat, and the cows are not like those working cattle and horses.

Cow, if you fool it, it really won't give you milk.

In fact, Liu Qingshan has already mentioned this issue just now, and he is going to talk about it in detail:

"Old uncle, when the time comes, let's get the silage, and the roughage for the cows will be there.

The rest of the concentrate, the corn and soybeans we grow ourselves, can be prepared. "

"What is silage?"

Zhang Lao Linger was confused, and so were others.

Don't look at the fact that they have been planting land for half their lives and serving cattle and horses for half their lives, but it is definitely the first time I have heard of silage.

As early as when Professor Wang came to Jiapigou for the Chinese New Year, Liu Qingshan discussed this issue with Grandpa Wang.

In fact, since the 1950s, the country has successively carried out research and application of silage, mainly used in dairy farms.

Professor Wang's agricultural college has such a project team. The corn varieties imported from Lao Maozi's side have more than double the stalk output of ordinary grain corn.

Just because the common people do not recognize it, it is very difficult to promote it.

If Liu Qingshan and the others engage in dairy farming, it will be mutually beneficial.

According to Professor Wang, the corn stalks of two or three acres of land can be made into silage fodder, which can be enough for a high-yielding dairy cow to feed roughage throughout the year.

After Liu Qingshan finished explaining to everyone, he took out another book and handed it to Zhang Lao Linger, which was the introduction to the silage fodder.

"Why is it a book again, it seems that I'm blind, and I have to start learning culture."

Zhang Lao Liner happily held the book in his arms, the more illiterate he was, the more in awe of books and knowledge.

The matter of raising dairy cows is so determined, and the rest is that Captain Zhang leads Liu Qingshan to run.

During the Canton Fair last year, Liu Qingshan helped the dairy factory make a few small transactions, and the two sides were also somewhat affectionate, so things went smoothly.

It is estimated that the dairy factory also has a good idea: this year's Canton Fair, Comrade Liu, will most likely participate. At that time, it is impossible to rely on others.

As for the loan, with Zheng Hongqi helping him connect, it went well.

Jiapigou, in particular, has a loan record, and has a good reputation, and the bank is also more assured.

Seeing that these connections accumulated by Liu Qingshan and making them work, Captain Zhang and the others had to sigh: Sure enough, one generation is stronger than one generation!

After running for more than a week, I finally finished the cow thing and waited for the other party to deliver it to my door.

During this time, the pig farm became lively again, and more than 200 piglets moved in smoothly.

These piglets were all bought from the surrounding cities and counties, led by the owner of the car.

Zhang Ganzi was also busy again, picking up dung, and the smile on his face was particularly bright.

Of course, there are not only so many piglets bought back. In fact, the owner of the car and the others have drawn thousands of pigs in total these days.

As for the rest, they were basically sold in Bishui County, especially in Qingshan Commune, where more than half of them were sold.

The uncle of the boss cheerfully calculated an account for everyone: "These piglets in our pig farm are considered nothing, and they didn't spend a penny!"

This is of course a good thing. After the New Year, prices have risen.

However, the village head aunt still said something fair:

"It's not all about the liberation of the Qingshan family. If you ask the boss to drive the carriage and go out to buy piglets, how much can you pull back?"

The owner of the car also recognizes this, and he feels it the most. In the past few days, his daughter drove them and ran away two or three hundred miles away.

After thinking about it for a while, he suggested: "Or, this Great Liberation is also counted as a share, will it participate in dividends at that time?"

Of course, everyone has no opinion. The credit for the liberation of the great liberation is obvious to all the villagers:

Whether it's going to the market a year ago, or transporting goods to and from Spring City, that's when the motor rings, and the gold is ten thousand taels.

Liu Qingshan has no objection to this. What the cooperative needs is fairness and reasonableness, not selfless dedication. If he loses now, what should others do in the future?

On the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, a large truck drove into Jiapigou.

These cars are equipped with high guardrails, and inside the cars, the cows with black and white flowers are particularly eye-catching.

"Cow, here comes the cow!"

It was just in time for the village primary school to finish school, and the children all screamed when they saw the cows in the car.

Er Xiaozi even ran home in one breath, then ran over again with a big basin, shouting:

"I want milk, I want milk!"

Yes, I have never drank milk when I am so old.

The other little boys were also greatly inspired, and all were ready to go home to get their pots.

This made Liu Qingshan unable to laugh or cry, so he could only shout: "These cows haven't given birth to calves yet, where did the milk come from?"

With a bang, Er Zhizi threw the enamel pot directly to the ground, and then the man sat on the ground.

Howl!

The other kids also sighed, not disappointed.

"Okay, okay, after the milk is produced, I will give you a glass of milk every day!"

Liu Qingshan also made this promise because he couldn't do anything about these little guys.

Er Zizi then burst into laughter: "Brother Qingshan, can I drink directly under the belly of the cow, and drink it hot."

"Okay, you deserve to be called Er Xiaozi!"

Liu Qingshan couldn't help giving a thumbs up. It is estimated that only a little boy could come up with such a strange way of drinking milk.

"Hee hee, Er Xiaozi, did you learn from the little calf?"

The little fourth child was carrying a small schoolbag and bared his teeth happily at the second child. The teeth in his mouth looked very funny and cute.

While Liu Qingshan was comforting these little guys, the workers who delivered the cows had skillfully jumped on the springboard, drove the cows off the car, and counted them one by one.

No more, no less, exactly ninety: eighty cows, ten bulls.

Then left an experienced old master Lu, who lived here for a few days, imparting experience and techniques in breeding, and the rest of the people all got in the car and left.

The old party secretary still had to keep food, but everyone was in a hurry to return to the dairy farm and left Jiapigou soon.

Almost all the villagers gathered around to see the strangeness, and the cows were temporarily placed in the barn of the production team. Fortunately, these facilities were still available after the farm was distributed to the household.

For example, large wooden troughs for livestock to eat grass, stone troughs for drinking water, etc., are readily available.

The cowshed is a little too small to hold so many cows. It seems that I have to work for a few days to build some temporary sheds.

The villagers were talking around the cows:

"Look at this cow, it's so nice, it looks clean."

"I don't know how much milk can be produced in a day?"

"More than you anyway."

"That's not necessarily true. When the old lady gave birth to a child, even the men in the family fed them together."

Liu Jinfeng also had a big belly to watch the fun. Hearing these sturdy aunts and aunts chatting, her face couldn't help but blushed slightly.

moo—

At this time, a cow cry sounded, with a bit of pain, but also a bit of joy.

The old master Lu who stayed behind quickly pulled one out of the herd: "After a lot of tossing, this one is about to give birth."

All of these cows have been artificially inseminated and will be produced in the near future.

However, this technology is not applicable to a small remote village like Jiapigou, so ten bulls were allocated in proportion.

Hurrah!

The villagers were all happy, and the little kids ran around and cheered, and they could taste the milk right away.

"And what about the calf that was born, was it carried by the cow?"

Liu Jinfeng's face flashed with the brilliance of motherhood, and asked the old master Lu.

"That won't work."

Old Master Lu gleefully glanced at Liu Jinfeng's belly, then shook his head and said:

"When the calf is born, it must be separated from the cow. Otherwise, the milk will be eaten by the calf, which will definitely affect the milk production."

How can you do this?

Liu Jinfeng gently stroked his stomach with his hand, feeling a little cruel: Is it too pitiful for the calf to not eat its mother's milk?

The old master Lu obviously did not notice the expression of the pregnant woman, and said to himself:

"If the heifers were born, it would be better, and they would be fed separately."

Then everyone noticed a problem, these cows are all cows, then the question arises: where have all the bulls gone?

Naturally, someone couldn't help but ask. Old Master Lu had long been accustomed to it and said lightly:

"If it is a male, except for a few reserved for breeding cattle, the rest will of course be sent to the slaughterhouse."

ah?

When the villagers heard this, they opened their mouths involuntarily, and everyone was stunned.

For farmers like them, and for big animals such as cattle and horses, the feelings are not generally deep, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are similar to their own family members.

So in their view, this approach is really a bit cruel.

"How can this be done?"

Liu Jinfeng even shouted angrily, and then felt a tingling pain in his stomach, and couldn't help crying.

The aunts and aunts around are all very experienced, so they clamored:

"Quick, help Jin Feng home, this is going to give birth to a baby!"
