Chapter 636: Raising Angora Rabbits
Jiang Lei poured wine into Bai Jiefang's hands.
"Second uncle, we are all our own people, and I won't hide some of the things I say. You also know how good the policies above are now. They have already encouraged everyone to work hard to get rich, and to reform and open up. How can your family still live like this? "
This is what is strange about Jiang Lei.
If he had not been guaranteed household income before, then he would probably feel that his life was not good, and that was right.
After all, every household is not doing much better.
But now household production has been guaranteed for a long time, and it seems that Bai Jiefang and his wife are not the kind of people who are not hardworking.
Since he is hard-working and capable, and has good policies, it is a bit strange that his family can still live like this and cannot even afford to build a brick house.
Bai Jiefang sighed, "You don't know, no matter how hardworking and capable we are, it's useless! In fact, when you came to our village, you should have been able to see that the land around our village is actually smaller and more populated. .
The actual farmland that hundreds of households in the village can cultivate is only a few hundred acres at most, and each household is only allocated one or two acres at most. "
"Why is there so little land and so many people? I look around and see a flat plain. In theory, this kind of land should be fertile land. It's good land for growing crops. It's better than the mountainous land."
Jiang Lei was also surprised.
"Looking at the vast plains, it should be fertile land. But, the land here next to the river bank is completely saline-alkali land. No crops can be grown on this land. Whatever you plant will die.
This kind of saline-alkali land occupies at least a thousand acres, and the remaining land that can be planted is only a handful. Tell me, there are many people but little land. Each family has one or two acres of land. What is enough for them? After paying the public rations, what is left is just enough to fill one’s own belly. How can there be any spare money? "
Bai Jiefang took a sip of Jiu and felt uncomfortable.
"If that's the case, you might as well go out to work. During the off-season, a few of us will go to the city to work. We can always find something to do. At least we can earn some money to support our family."
"The rich families in the village all go to work in the city. I also know that working in the city can make a lot of money, but neither of us can read a single person. We went to work in the city last year. , and ended up being deceived.
People like us who don’t know anything dare not go out rashly to make a living. After all, we still have three children at home. If we can’t get back the money after working for a year, how can these children go to school? "
Bai Jiefang is also suffering for uneducated people like them. If they don't know a single word, they will be fooled if they go out to deceive others. They have no place to talk to others for reasoning.
Only then did Jiang Lei understand.
Among the children in my family, even the second sister with the lowest education level probably graduated from junior high school. Although I did not go to high school, I still graduated from junior high school.
For them, it may be easy to go out and do something, but for Bai Jiefang and Cuifen, they don't know how to go out alone.
It is indeed easy to be deceived.
If you meet a shady boss and work for a whole year without getting paid, who would want to go out to work again?
"Hey, otherwise, you can do some side business in the village, raise chickens and rabbits or something like that. I have a friend who runs a rabbit farm and raises long-haired rabbits. When the rabbits grow big, the rabbit fur will You can sell it for money, and rabbit skin can also be sold for money. It’s really a treasure.”
Jiang Lei changed his mind.
After all, this is Bai Yiyi's uncle. If it can help make their family rich through hard work and improve their lives, of course they should help.
I can't help with anything else, and it's hard to even come up with an idea.
Bai Jiefang shook his head, "No one in our village has ever raised long-haired rabbits. Who knows whether those things can be raised alive? There are several families in the village who raise chickens, but if they open a chicken farm, there are some people who have that Thinking about it, I opened a chicken farm and all the chickens died last year. I had to sell my house at a loss.
I'm afraid we, the couple, don't even have the money to buy rabbit seeds. Not to mention raising rabbits. "
"Second uncle, don't sigh too much. If you really want to raise long-haired rabbits, I can help you find a connection. My friend raises long-haired rabbits very well. His rabbit farm is now very large. , raising more than 500 pairs of long-haired rabbits.
The income every year is very considerable. That's an income of tens of thousands. If you really want to raise me, I will take you there. You can go and see how they raise you, and learn techniques from them. When the time comes, if you want to breed rabbits, I can ask him to give it to you on credit first. After you raise the money and sell the rabbits, I can settle the settlement for the rabbit seeds. "
Jiang Lei really wanted to help.
Cuifen was moved. They didn't dare to raise chickens, pigs, and rabbits, not because they were technically incompetent.
It's okay to raise a small amount, but once these farmed animals get sick, a large number of them will die.
If someone specifically asked them to learn it, they would definitely be able to raise it, and they would be very confident.
Who doesn't want to make money? They both dream of getting rich. It's not because they don't have the ability.
If Jiang Lei is willing to help, he can help them learn technology.
This is a good thing, something that is hard to find even with a lantern.
"His father, why don't you go take a look."
Bai Jiefang was also moved, "This matter won't trouble you too much. If they don't like it, forget it. I'm afraid that they won't want to spread this technology to others."
This is what he said. There is a pig farmer in their village.
The Wang family made money by raising pigs, and built six large tiled houses. Each of the three sons had a brick and tile house with a neat yard, and married a new wife. That was the family that the villagers envied.
The Wang family was very good at raising pigs. They were skilled in raising pigs, and had their own family secret recipes. They guaranteed that there was no swine fever, and they raised the pigs fat and strong.
There were families in the village who were close to the Wang family, and they also wanted to learn from them, but the Wang family kept it very secret.
The pig-raising technique was not allowed to be known to others.
Except for the three sons, even the daughter did not know about it. The old man Wang said that this was a skill that was passed down to the sons, not the daughters.
With this skill, the three sons would not starve to death.
Jiang Lei smiled and said, "If you really want to learn, I promise my friend can teach you attentively. As long as you study hard, I promise you will become a big rabbit breeder when you come back. My friend is in a village 500 miles away, raising rabbits there. You have nothing to do with him, so it's not a question of who is stealing whose business.
And if you raise rabbits well in the future, people will ask him to buy them all year round, and you will bring him business. Don't worry, my friend is a good person. He is a high school student who specializes in breeding. He started raising Angora rabbits after returning to the village. He has only been raising them for two years, but his family has a fortune of more than 100,000 yuan."
Bai Jiefang made up his mind to go with Jiang Lei to see it.
