Chapter 208: farm
Chapter 208 Farm
At present, there are about 60 otters in the farm.
This thing breeds fast, and it can give birth to many in one litter. It is also sturdy, and it is easy to feed.
The number of sables is less, about twenty.
The main reason is that the gestation period of the female mink is too long, she only has one litter a year, and her fecundity is weak.
There are fifteen adult male musk deer, six female musk deer and more than ten juvenile musk deer in the musk park.
The adult musk deer are all captured by Xu Shiyan in winter with people, and the juvenile musk deer are bred after the female musk deer arrives at the farm.
There are more than 30 deer, more than 10 male deer, and the rest are female deer and young deer.
Needless to say, these deer were naturally captured by Xu Shiyan using the old method, drugged and stunned, and then transported to the farm.
There were fewer raccoon dogs, and it was not easy to catch them alive. Xu Shiyan spent a lot of effort, and only managed to catch seven or eight of them.
I'm not in a hurry, I'm raising and breeding slowly, and the scale will expand in the future.
After two years of exploration and research, Xu Shiyan has become very proficient in breeding these economic animals.
From feed ratio, to disease prevention, to breeding and breeding, we have accumulated a lot of experience, and the scale of breeding is gradually expanding.
At the farm, Huang Shengli, Feng Chao, and Sun Xiaofeng took turns on duty, and hired a few blind men to work.
The so-called blind drifters are not hooligans. It is the Northeast region, from the 1960s and 1970s to the mid-1990s, a certain type of special group of people.
The three northeastern provinces are located outside the Shanhaiguan Pass, and have always been called Guanwai or Guandong, while Shandong, Hebei and other places are called Guanli or Guannei.
Guanli is densely populated and has little land, while outside the Guanli is sparsely populated, fertile and rich in products.
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, in every disaster year, many people in the pass left their homes and came to live outside the pass. This is the reason for entering the pass.
In the old society, people who came to the east of the Guandong came to work for the landlords at first.
Gradually save money and start a family business, most of them settled in the Northeast.
After the new society, especially after the establishment of the commune, due to the restrictions on household registration, many people from Guanli were unable to settle in the Northeast.
Can't earn work points, can't get rations, have no house and land, so they are called blind wanderers by the locals.
This situation will continue until the mid-1990s.
The Northeast gradually declined, while the Guanli was developed, the economic situation improved, and a large number of wanderers returned to their hometowns. These were also the last batch of people who entered the Guandong.
A few years ago, there was still an operation to catch blind people here. Once caught, they would be sent back.
In the past two years, with the change of policy, more people came to Guanli, and the arrest here is not so strict.
But these homeless people have no house, no land, and can't find a job. Their lives are pretty bad.
Xu Shiyan asked for help, and hired five or six strong young men to work on the farm.
There is no need to pay much salary, just take care of the food.
The farm was established by Xu Shiyan, Feng Chao, Huang Shengli, Sun Xiaofeng and others.
Xu Shiyan provides technology and initial population, accounting for more shares.
Feng Chao and others assisted in the management, took turns to be on duty, and accounted for less shares.
At present, the farm is still in the period of accumulation and development, with large input and low output.
Sables, otters, and raccoon dogs are all expanding their populations, and they are temporarily unprofitable, only antler and musk are produced.
Thanks to the strong support from above, coupled with the low labor cost, there can be some profits.
After two years, the population will be fully developed, and it will be better.
"Brother Xu, why are you here?"
It was Huang Shengli who was on duty at the farm today. Huang Shengli was quite surprised to see Xu Shiyan coming over.
"Victory, I'm coming to see the farm.
Your sister-in-law gave birth to a pair of twins today. I have to take care of your sister-in-law at home recently, and I can’t take care of the farm. "
Xu Shiyan saw Huang Shengli, and quickly gave him some red eggs.
"Oh, my sister-in-law is too good, isn't she? She gave birth to a pair of twins.
Brother Xu, you are really blessed, congratulations. Oh, what a happy event.
Brother Xu, don’t worry, there are me, Chaozi, and Xiaofeng at the farm, we will take good care of it, so you can go home and take care of your sister-in-law. "
Huang Shengli was also happy when he heard it, and hurriedly patted his chest to ensure that the farm must be well managed and nothing will go wrong.
"Well, we have been brothers for several years, and I can trust you.
Well, I’ll go around first, and distribute the eggs to those workers along the way. Everyone is very happy. "
Xu Shiyan patted Huang Shengli on the shoulder.
After getting along for several years, Xu Shiyan is very clear about the character of these people.
If it weren't for the fact that they knew each other well and got along well, Xu Shiyan wouldn't have allowed them to invest in the farm.
Xu Shiyan walked around the farm and distributed the red eggs to the blind workers who were working.
Actually, the conditions have gotten better in recent years. Members all raise chickens at home, and occasionally they can eat an egg or something.
The farm also raised some chickens and geese, which produced a lot of eggs, but most of them were sold.
Eating scrambled eggs for these workers is regarded as improving their lives. Boiled eggs are Qingming and Dragon Boat Festival, and each person can give two.
Xu Shiyan distributed three red eggs to each of them, and everyone was very happy, carefully put them in their pockets, and kept them to eat slowly.
"Work hard, and at the end of the year, I will give you some rewards or something.
Our farm is making less profit now. After two years, when it becomes more profitable, I will raise your wages.
It’s not easy for you who have left your hometown to come outside the customs. Work hard, and you can’t lose. "Xu Shiyan had to say something encouraging.
Xu Shiyan's words are not a big deal.
He had already discussed with Huang Shengli and the others, and at the end of the year, they should be given a proper salary increase.
It’s not easy for these people. Those who leave their hometowns come out to earn a living, and the money they earn from a year’s hard work has to be sent back to their hometowns, and they are left with nothing to eat and drink.
These people are very hardworking and willing to contribute. It would be best if they can stay in the farm for a long time.
No matter what year it is, if you want to keep someone, you have to raise the salary. Once the money is paid, they will naturally not be willing to leave.
Those few people were very grateful when they heard the words, and expressed in strong Guanli dialect that they must work harder and promise to work hard.
Xu Shiyan walked around the farm and saw that the animals in each pen were doing well, so he was relieved.
So, he led a ewe that had just given birth to a calf, and walked back.
Su Anying gave birth to two babies at once, and she didn't know if she could drink milk.
Furthermore, Su Anying's body is badly short, so she should make up for it.
Get a ewe and come back to milk the goat. In case the mother's milk is not enough, there is still goat milk.
If there is enough breast milk, then save it for Su Anying to replenish her body, it will be useful anyway.
Xu Shiyan **** the sheep when he got home, and then went to the hospital.
As a result, I just entered the inpatient department, and before I reached the door of the ward, I heard the cry of a child coming from the ward.
Opening the door and entering the room, Xu Shiqin and Zhou Guilan were holding a baby and coaxing them there.
"Mom, what's wrong? The two children are crying so hard?"
Xu Shiyan opened the door and entered the ward, and looked at the bed, Su Anying seemed to be sleeping.
Su Anying had a lot of trouble giving birth this time, exhausted, and fell asleep after lunch.
The two children cried so loudly that they didn't wake her up.
