Chapter 180 Sheep And Cattle Raising Program

Chapter 180 sheep and cattle raising plan

"So many?"

Li Jiangang glanced at him. What was the boy so excited about? He was a little worried, "It's hard to control ten sheep. You two have to study every day. You can't feed the sheep in the morning. You have to come back from school to let them go. Your mother still has to take care of the farm work in the fields and vegetables. Usually, she can't do it alone."

"Dad, my second sister and I got up early in the morning to cut grass and come back to raise it. If we don't let it out, we can keep it at home like pigs."

Li Hui was in primary school, and he still knew simple arithmetic. Two hundred for a sheep, and two thousand for ten sheep. He knew this number very well. He was amused, and then gave a very convincing reason: "Dad, in the past, uncle's pigs were all cut by Sister hoi tong every morning to feed them. Every day, she cut two baskets of pig grass before going to school. Me and second sister can do it too. I'm in primary school, and the school is near. Second sister is going to study in town. Although it's a little far away, she can ride her bike to and from school. It won't take much time."

Somewhere in Li Jiangang's heart, he was suddenly shocked, and his face overflowed with emotion and joy. He patted his son on the shoulder and praised him with a smile, "My Li Hui has grown up too. Dad is very happy. Okay, listen to you. Buy ten sheep and feed them to the two of you. Dad will reward you when he comes back at the end of the year."

"Hehe, okay." It was the first time Li Hui had been praised by his father, and he bounced back to his seat.

The adults at the table were all smiling. Their li boys were all very good. Even Li Haitang looked at Li Hui a few more times. This boy had changed a lot in the past two years. He should not be worse than li yang in the future.

"Dad, let's raise them together. My sister and I can also help my mother with her work. After school, we will drive the sheep to the stone mountain behind us every day. There aren't any big trees on that mountain. They're all weeds. They're perfect for sheep and cattle." Li Yang also calculated a sum of money in his heart. The money he earned by raising ten sheep was comparable to the money his father earned outside for a year.

Li Jianhua had already started to eat the first bowl of rice, swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his eyebrows and answered him, "We don't have enough sheep here, we might not be able to buy so many lambs. Besides, our livestock shed is a little small and not strong enough to hold ten sheep."

Li Yang's enthusiasm seemed to have been extinguished by a basin of cold water, and Li Jiangang also considered this practical problem. His livestock shed was bigger, but not too strong. It seemed that he had to clean up in advance these days.

Li Yang, isn't Third aunt raising chickens and ducks at home? It's good to keep doing this. There's a road right next to your house that leads directly to the river. It's quite suitable for raising ducks." Li Haitang thought it was a good idea to engage in animal husbandry. Slowly and massively, this road could make money.

Haitang, chickens and ducks consume too much food, so it doesn't make much money. There was also something particularly disturbing. We were close to the river. Some people in the upper reaches often threw some dead chickens, ducks, pigs and so on into the river and floated them down, causing the chickens and ducks here to often get sick. Every two years we have to make a fuss. I don't know anything about animal disease. It's not easy to breed in large quantities without solving this problem."

Lu Hongyu told the truth. She only raised 20 or 30 animals a year. After selling out this batch, she could just make up for the family. One year, she raised sixty or seventy of them, and half of them died of illness. Unfortunately, she did not dare to raise more.

Li Haitang didn't know much about breeding and agreed with her second reason. If she didn't solve the problem, she couldn't breed on a large scale, so she had to make another suggestion, "Since lambs are not easy to find, let's raise cows. Cows are more expensive to sell and earn more money, but they need to be fed longer. Cows are not easy to get sick. In this case, go to the town or county to get a vet."

Lu Hongyu glanced at Li Jianhua and saw that he was deep in thought. He asked a practical question, "A cow cub is not cheap. It's much more expensive than a pig cub and a lamb. A yellow cowboy is estimated to cost 70 or 80 yuan, and a water cowboy is even more expensive. Someone in the village bought one last year, and it cost 120 yuan."

The price of a cow cub is a little high, but if you raise it and sell it, the price will be high. You should earn three or four hundred yuan each. There is a saying: only when you have a house can you have it. Spend a little money first and then make a lot of money. There's no need to worry about the lack of a market for cattle. They are more acceptable than sheep. They can be sold not only to farmers but also to slaughterhouses. They can be fed with confidence." Li Haitang somewhat guessed that they did not dare to make a hasty decision. A cow cub could get a month's salary, and they would be somewhat reluctant to part with it.

Lu Hongyu knew what she was saying made sense, but she decided not to speak for the time being, letting her take out her family's savings to buy a cow cub was as painful as gouging out meat in her heart.

"Hongyu, if you really want to raise this kind of animal, you must buy the cubs first. Who doesn't pay the cost first when they do business? Look at this clothing store I opened in town, from buying storefronts to buying clothes hangers and the like. It cost more than two thousand yuan in seven, eight, eight, and eight, and this is all my savings. Let me tell you the truth today. It was just two months and three days from the opening of the store to yesterday. I calculated and made 650 yuan." When Li Jianhong talked about the business in the store, her face was filled with joy. Although she did not earn all the costs back, she believed that the first half of next year would be enough to recover them.

Lu Hongyu was not stupid, and her mind was also calculating the account of her store. So, she could earn more than three hundred yuan a month. How could the store be so good?

Zhao Chunhua also looked at Li Jianhong with bright eyes, not even eating the pig's feet in the bowl.

"Of course, my store opened at a good time. It just happened to be the new year. During this time, business is much better than usual. After the new year, business will definitely cool down, but it is still possible to earn back the other costs in the first half of next year. So, if you want to do business, you have to put in the cost first. Besides, you only need to buy livestock and not build livestock sheds. It really won't cost much. This is a steady business, and you can really feed them as boldly as haitang said."

Li Jianhong knew the nature of the two siblings, and she understood what they were doing. This was the common thought of the rural people, and they all wanted to split a penny into two flowers. It was normal for them to spend most of their hard-earned savings on livestock and cubs. It was the same for her when she first started doing business, and when she got the money, she wouldn't be so timid.

"Jianhua, you, what do you think?" Lu Hongyu still consulted the head of the family, Li Jianhua, on the important decisions of the family.

While they were talking, Li Jianhua had already finished a bowl of rice, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and made a decision: "Just keep the cattle. Next year, keep three. The livestock shed at home is only enough for now. Chicken and duck should be kept less, just enough for the family to eat."

"Okay."

Although Lu Hongyu was depressed, he still agreed. She had a clear calculation in her mind. She knew that there was money to be made in raising cattle. Three cows were carefully raised and could be sold by the end of the year. Besides the cost, she should be able to earn more than a thousand points, no less than the men in the cement factory.

After thinking about it, they all support raising cattle, so let's raise three first.

Li Jianguo remained silent and listened to them while drinking. After they had all decided, he said, "You have two more dogs at home."

"Hmm?" Zhao Chunhua and Lu Hongyu did not react for a moment.

Li jianhong smiled and reminded, "Big brother means that Jiangang and Jianhua are not at home. There are only two women and a few children at home. If you raise sheep and cattle, it is not safe. It is easy to attract thieves and let you keep a few dogs to protect your home."

"Oh, I see." The sisters-in-law and I also realized now and agreed with a smile.

The meal didn't end until almost 8: 30 pm. The Li Jiangang family had tea and sat down for a while before going back to prepare lunch and dinner.

"Li Tao, dad and aunt fen are going to tan city tomorrow to pay their respects to the grandparents of the Liu family. Are you going?" After Liu Fen and Duan Jinqiao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Li Haitang dragged Li Tao into the small living room to talk.

"Go." Li Tao nodded, a rare shy smile on his face, "Aunt Fen's parents and sister-in-law are very nice to me. The last time I went to pick up duan jinqiao, I stayed at their house for two days. They bought me clothes, shoes and a lot of food. They are good to me, and aunt Fen is good to me. I know all this. Naturally, I will follow dad to visit my elders during the holidays."

"Tsk tsk, sample, you're quite sensible." Li Haitang patted his head with a smile and asked another question, "Are you still going to Yutian town?"

Deng Wenfang's family was in Yutian town, and although she had a bad relationship with them and almost broke up with them, she knew that Li Tao was actually very concerned about Deng Wenfang, his biological mother.

Speaking of this, a shadow appeared on Li Tao's initially angular face. He only told Li Haitang about his mother, not even his father, and his voice became a little low, "No. Mom's birthday was chinese new year. You guys weren't back yet. I went there alone. She came back from gan province, and this time she brought a man back. It seemed that she met him at the bamboo mat factory. The divorced man was from gan province. She brought him back to tell her grandparents that they have already received their marriage certificate and will live in gan province in the future. Maybe they won't come back."

Li Haitang: ..." This woman's play is really a new one every year, and the routine is exactly the same, I really can't see that she is quite popular.

"When I went there, I could tell that she wasn't very happy, and I only told her a little, and said that I would treat her like a mother in the future, and that I wouldn't go to her to ruin her new life." When Li Tao said the last sentence, his voice suddenly choked up.
