【041】 Spring breeze
PS:PS: Happy weekend, folks!
‘Chicken hatches chicken twenty-one, chicken hatches chicken twenty-eight ducks’, this proverb vividly describes the time when chickens and duck eggs hatch.
According to this schedule, the time when this batch of chicken and duck seedlings hatched was approaching the end of February. This is also the warmer weather in Ginkgo Village, and the season for spring and flowers to bloom is about to usher in.
As long as the first batch of young seedlings hatch successfully, Xiao Tao will expand the scale of the incubation base and continuously provide qualified seedlings for the farm. To this end, Xiao Tao has signed contracts with many large poultry seedling bases in the province to ensure that the breeding eggs can be supplied on time.
Only after the farm is operating normally and can provide a large amount of eggs, Xiao Tao will gradually reduce the scale of egg purchases from outside and eventually achieve self-sufficiency.
Xiao Tao knew very well that he was not a poultry breeding expert and knew nothing about poultry hatching, screening, epidemic prevention and other work, so he chose to hire external technicians to join the Xiao Family Farm.
The first batch of five poultry breeding technicians and veterinarians were dug up by Xiao Tao from other farms and agricultural technical schools. They will lead 20 workers from the poultry project of Xiaojia Farm to prepare for the farm while welcoming the first batch of poultry hatching. Of course, compared with the future million-level breeding scale, the number of technicians and workers is obviously relatively small. Xiao Tao is preparing to gradually increase the recruitment of personnel while expanding the breeding scale.
When recruitment information was reported on Xiaojia Farm, the entire Ginkgo Village was in full swing. After all, the monthly salary of 2,000 yuan is not a small amount for the villagers in Ginkgo Village. Not every villager's home can be converted into an inn, and not every household has a large amount of land to be used to grow crops.
In Ginkgo Village, at least about 200 people are surplus labor force. Now, when you go to Xiaojia Farm to raise chickens and ducks, and grow trees and fish, you can get a basic salary of 2,000 yuan. The bonus is calculated separately. How can the villagers not be happy?
Working outside may have a higher income, but if you work in Ginkgo Village, you can save all your salary. You can eat and live at home, so you can't spend much money.
Therefore, after the recruitment information of Xiaojia Farm was revealed, the villagers signed up very enthusiastically!
In the future, the number of technicians and workers in the poultry project department of Xiaojia Farm will reach more than 100 people to meet the growing scale of breeding. The entire Xiaojia Farm is expected to require more than 500 employees. Priority is given to the selection of Ginkgo Village, and the insufficient part is recruited from nearby villages.
As the executive vice president of Xiao Family Farm, Xiao Tao's work started the fastest. Of course, the projects he is responsible for are more trivial and requires more patience. After all, poultry breeding will encounter more problems, especially plagues, and the threat of diseases is the greatest. In order to avoid these things as much as possible, Xiao Tao has to do his work more meticulously and more meticulously!
Xiao Dazhi, who is in charge of aquaculture projects, is still waiting for the spring to warm up. He led the workers to inspect various ponds, lakes and ditches in the farm to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. At the same time, Xiao Dazhi also needs to learn various aquaculture and prevent and control diseases and pests, and make final preparations for the formal launch of the aquaculture project.
At the same time, Xiao Dazhi has contacted major aquatic seedling supply centers including Longquan cold water fish seedling farm, and has booked many precious freshwater fish species such as cold water fish, red carp, and Ding Gui fish. However, for the sake of risk assessment, Xiao Dazhi ordered not many fish species, and each of them is only 20,000. He is preparing to check the conditions of the farm waters through a small amount, and finally expand the scale.
It has to be said that in the past six months, Xiao Dazhi has raised tens of thousands of cold-water fish with Xiao Feng, and he has mastered many practical methods and has gained a lot of confidence in the future of aquaculture projects.
However, Xiao Dazhi is gradually changing roles, gradually transforming himself from specific staff to managers. This change is not an easy task for Xiao Dazhi, who only has a high school diploma and just turned 22 years old.
However, seeing the uncles and aunts around him growing up, Xiao Dazhi could only grit his teeth and persevere. He worked during the day and studied various management and finance books provided by Xiao Feng at night, and worked hard to improve himself.
As for Xiao Qiang, he is even busier. He has now recruited 20 technicians and 200 fruit tree workers to inspect the fruit trees on the farm one by one, and prune the notes that were crushed by heavy snow and frostbite to ensure that all fruit trees can successfully return to the sun after the temperature rises.
For the entire Xiao Family Farm, these fruit trees are the top priority and the foundation for the farm's development. They are not careless!
What shocked Xiao Qiang and all the technicians and farm workers was that the more than 200,000 fruit seedlings on the farm did not receive any heavy snow or low temperatures, and were intact. Especially those lychees, longans, wax and other fruit trees that are more suitable for life in tropical and subtropical areas, still show their unique vitality, which is amazing.
While shocked, Xiao Qiang also contacted the various experiments he and Xiao Feng conducted in the vegetable garden last year. He vaguely realized that the excellent performance of these fruit seedlings must be related to Xiao Feng. However, Xiao Qiang was very clever and did not make any statement. He understood that these secrets of Xiao Feng may be the foundation for the development of the Xiao family farm.
After March, under the leadership of three responsible persons, hundreds of workers were eating and living in the farm. The entire farm gradually woke up from the sleepy state of winter and was ready to welcome the arrival of spring.
…………
Xiao Tao and his wife were busy with farm affairs, and the Detachment of Women were improving the "Ginkgo Specialties" online store and learning. Xiao Feng naturally turned into a super dad, bringing two dolls and several pets every day.
As the weather warmed up, the children were wearing less clothes and running faster. If Xiao Feng hadn't been in good physical strength, it would have been a bit unbearable to follow these two little guys all day.
Gem and Goku changed the way they liked to curl up in their nests and sleep some time ago, and moved around the yard on the dam, making it a mess. As for the talking parrot, it seemed that they also felt the breath of spring. Every day they flew in and out, they would greet tourists warmly.
In a few days, most tourists who live in Ginkgo Village knew that the Xiao family had a parrot that could only be said to be wise, a monkey that was suspected to be a golden monkey and a naughty kitten.
The little golden eagle has now been replaced with thick and hard feathers. The dark golden body and bright golden head look quite like an adult golden eagle, but it can't fly. Every day, it paces back and forth in the attic and the corridor on the third floor, without practicing anything else. The leader's eight-character steps are quite learned.
The old man asked Mr. Xiao to come and said that the feathers on the wings of the little golden eagle were not long enough. About half a month later, when the feathers grew, they could train them to fly.
…………
In the past two days, Xiao Feng found that many tourists were flying kites on the grassland beside Jinghu Lake. Xiao Feng was a little itchy and was preparing to join in the fun with two dolls.
"Grandpa, make us two kites!" Xiao Feng ran to the old man and beat his back and pleased him.
In Xiao Feng's memory, the old man's skill in making kites is not weak. When Xiao Feng was a child, he was able to obtain new kites almost every year and spent that carefree childhood.
For the Ginkgo Village, which is backed by a large bamboo sea, almost every elderly person has the unique skill of making bamboo products, so making a kite is only a piece of cake.
"No problem! Go to the warehouse to get two bamboo strips, there is glue and rice paper in the study, and find some tools." The old man felt that he was idle every day, and Xiao Feng's request was just right.
The bamboo strips are cut into thin slices and tied into the skeleton of the kite. Dip the paste with rice paper, depict the appearance of a dragonfly, an eagle or a professional butterfly, tie the yarn ball, and a kite is made.
Seeing the old man finishing two kites in less than half an hour, Xiao Feng felt a little ashamed!
Xiao Feng still couldn't learn it after seeing the old man making kites countless times. Even if the old man explained the details and precautions of each step clearly to him. Xiao Feng was still extremely clumsy when he started.
Speaking of this, Xiao Feng's poor hand-action ability seems to be born. Not only is he not good at making some handicrafts, but even writing is no different from chicken chops. Xiao Feng once tried to get rid of his own problem, but after practicing for many years, he found that his progress was slow, so he ended up losing patience.
If the old man hadn't been able to make kites, Xiao Feng would have planned to give others help.
Carrying two kites and two cheerful dolls, Xiao Feng and his party walked towards the village. Jewels and Wukong were immersed in their own world, ignoring Xiao Feng's actions.
Only Xiaohong was very interested in the colorful kites in Xiao Feng's hands. Standing on Xiao Feng's shoulder and asking some strange questions, Xiao Feng almost couldn't resist it.
After entering the second month of the lunar calendar, the weather in Ginkgo Village has improved significantly, with bright sunshine and breeze blowing on the face, which is the best time to fly kites.
When Xiao Feng arrived at the grassland with two dolls, more than a dozen kites were already swaying up under the spring breeze, feeling at ease. Today is Saturday, and last night, many self-driving passengers from Yaozhou and Nanzhao brought their families to Ginkgo Village.
This grassland was originally a wasteland by the lake, and the harvest was not good. It was gradually abandoned by the villagers and was covered with weeds and shrubs. After deciding to develop the Jinghu Scenic Area, Xiao Feng tilled the wasteland with an area of 30 acres and planted hardy grass species such as squid stems, thin-leaf fescue, reed-shaped fescue and perennial ryegrass, and turned into a huge lawn.
Now that spring is warm and snowy, this lawn has become a favorite place for many families!
Because here you can enjoy the natural atmosphere that cannot be felt in the city square, allowing children to run freely, enjoy the sunshine, beautiful scenery and more happiness!
Xiao Feng was quite good at flying kites. With Xiao Tongtong's help, he quickly sent the two kites to the blue sky, then handed the rope to the two little guys, and lay down comfortably on the lawn.
Xiaohong watched the kite fly high and became curious, so she flew up as well. She touched it from time to time, causing the kite to lose balance, which made the two little guys denounce it before giving up.
Chapter completed!
