Chapter 338 Improving Life
"Second Miss, our breeding farm now has a total of 12,480 rabbits of all sizes." Chen Rong's voice could not hide his pride.
"Manager Chen, you did a good job, you should be credited." Lu Songli praised, she knew that this rabbit breeding area started with 20 pairs of rabbits.
This can almost be said to be from nothing, Chen Rong has made a great contribution.
Chen Rong rubbed his hands excitedly.
Lu Songli added, "And the workers in the breeding farm, they will all be rewarded!" Rabbits have a strong reproductive ability, but the people in the breeding farm have made great contributions to the current scale.
Coming out of the rabbit breeding area, Lu Songli sincerely thanked Uncle Cheng, "Uncle Cheng, thank you for selflessly teaching others how to raise rabbits." These rabbits are really well raised.
Uncle Cheng nervously waved his hand, "I just taught what I know." Besides, he got bonuses and wages.
Lu Songli nodded, put the question aside, and asked Chen Rong, "How many old rabbits were there that you reported before that were infertile?"
"About 2,500."
"Are these 2,000 rabbits so old that they are completely infertile?"
"Yes."
Lu Songli pondered for a moment and decided, "In addition to these 2,500 rabbits, have someone screen them again and pick out those rabbits that are already very old."
Chen Rong understood, they were the old rabbits that could still give birth once or twice and were just a little bit away from sterilization.
Not long after, the people below came to report that another 1,000 old rabbits had been picked out.
"First, isolate these rabbits. Later, have the people from the slaughterhouse come over and kill all these old rabbits, collect their fur, and send them to the garment workshop. Someone will contact you."
Lu Songli calculated in his mind that there were about 3,400 rabbits slaughtered this time.
"One thousand of these slaughtered rabbits will be sent to the military camp to serve as a snack for the soldiers. One thousand eight hundred will be handed over to the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce for them to sell in various counties. This is the first batch of rabbit meat, and it is also the initial achievement of the breeding farm. Let the common people also get a taste of meat and improve their lives."
When saying this, Lu Songli said with a smile.
These old rabbits are all adult rabbits. After skinning and removing the internal organs, they weigh about three or four pounds.
One thousand eight hundred rabbits are distributed to ten counties, which is equivalent to investing one hundred rabbits in each county, and four hundred pounds of meat. In this way, according to the household registration limit, the amount of meat that can be bought is still limited. But there is no way, this time the meat that can be produced is so much.
Chen Rong nodded and wrote it down.
Uncle Cheng couldn't help but glance at her when he heard it. Who is this girl? He knew the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. They sold affordable grain. Are they now selling rabbit meat? The price should not be expensive, right? He asked his family to go and have a look. If the price is cheap, he will buy some.
"The remaining 600 or so will be distributed to each prefecture, department, and workshop." In fact, it was the various government agencies in Liaodong County. In total, each unit was only given 20 to 30 rabbits.
"Then, all employees in the breeding workshop will be rewarded with half a rabbit each. By the way, give one to Uncle Cheng."
Uncle Cheng was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't this - this - bad?"
Chen Rong smiled, "Uncle Cheng, since the second lady asked to give it to you, you should take it."
Uncle Cheng was incoherent, "Okay, okay." This was a surprise. He used to raise rabbits and sell them to others for food and money, and he never wanted to eat a bite.
"Second Miss, why don't you transport these old rabbits to the place first, then slaughter them, and then have someone send the rabbit skins to the garment workshop? This way everyone can eat fresh rabbit meat." Chen Rong suggested boldly.
Lv Songli praised, "You've thought it through very carefully. Let's do it!"
Chen Rong grinned and couldn't help but make a suggestion, "Second Miss, a batch of ducks have laid eggs. But not many, why not give Houcheng another 200 kilograms of duck eggs?"
The weather is hot, and although the hens they raised have grown up, they don't like to lay eggs, not as much as ducks.
Chen Rong made this suggestion because he felt that compared with the other 17 counties, Houcheng, as the new seat of the Liaodong County Governor's Office, is different.
Lv Songli agreed, "Okay, send it with this batch of rabbits."
Before leaving, Lv Songli encouraged him, "Do a good job, and the meat problem of our soldiers and the people will depend on you to solve it in the future."
Coming out of the breeding farm, Lv Songli glanced at the sky. It was already evening, and she was not in a hurry to go back. She walked back slowly with her people, and even stopped at a tea shop on the roadside with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce sign.
At this time, a group of people came from a distance. They pushed a cart and carried a basket full of things. There were men and women, old and young, and they looked like a family.
They guessed that this family should have moved to Liaodong County from other places.
There have been many similar situations recently, and the locals in Liaodong County are used to it.
The family came to the front soon. They parked the cart in the courtyard of the teahouse, and a young man came in to buy tea.
In this family, the child with a long braid on the back of his head said curiously, "Dad, the official road here is so spacious."
Lu Songli smiled slightly after hearing this. This was a kind of affirmation and praise for them.
The people around her couldn't help but be very proud.
The official roads of the 18 counties in their Liaodong County are so spacious. Moreover, the main roads have been opened, and other branches are being opened. It will be very fast to go to any county in the future.
At this time, a 13 or 14-year-old boy complained, "The official road is spacious, but don't we still have to walk? I just don't know how far it is from here to Houcheng."
Lv Songli next to him said gently, "Just walk three or four miles to Houcheng."
Hearing this, the family was shocked. The middle-aged man who seemed to be the head of the family clasped his fists to Lv Songli, "Thank you for telling me."
Lv Songli nodded slightly, "You're welcome."
The boy who complained about the long road just now said in confusion, "Dad, why do we have to come to Houcheng? I think Wuliu County where my aunt is is very good."
He didn't understand why his second uncle insisted on going to Houcheng?
"Stinky boy, you don't understand. Houcheng is now the seat of the Liaodong County Governor's Office. There are many invisible benefits. For example, the previous affordable grain was first delivered to Houcheng, and the amount delivered was large. There are no such benefits in other counties."
