Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

There is nothing going on at the feed factory at the moment. Everything that needs to be done has been done. As long as a suitable set of rules and regulations are completed, the rest of the people will operate according to this system. Good management methods will make the employees themselves full of energy.

The management framework and rules and regulations he developed came from those excellent companies in his previous life. He combined them into a set that he thought was good. With the generous rewards given, all he needed to do was to steer the ship.

We are still negotiating with people at the electromechanical factory, so it is not time to start work yet.

His main work during this period is still in the village, and he is currently mainly helping to sell cattle and sheep.

After we made the contact, we sent someone to pick them up. He currently has 357 sheep and 42 cows.

Sheep themselves grow fast, and after being fed with concentrated feed this year, the 203 lambs born this year have grown up, and the ewes have reached full sexual maturity.

There are only 32 adult cattle. Even if they are fed with artificially formulated high-protein feed, the growth rate of the cattle is very slow and it is impossible for them to grow up in less than a year.

So after discussing it with the family, they decided to sell 304 sheep, leaving only 50 young ewes that had given birth once and 3 breeding bulls with large skeletons and strong in all aspects.

Later, I plan to go to Longdong to find a few good big black goats for breeding. My own breeding males are of good quality and the blood relationship is close.

Among these black goats, the castrated goats weigh about 80 to 90 kilograms, while the ewes weigh only about 60 kilograms, averaging more than 70 kilograms per goat.

After weighing them one by one, the final weight was 23,381, which was the result of nearly five years of raising them.

The current price range of mutton is 4.30 yuan to 4.50 yuan per catty, which has increased a lot compared to last year. The wholesale price is 2.60 yuan per catty.

This was considered a relatively high price, because sheepskin was still quite valuable in those days and the wholesale price of a whole sheep was also higher.

Lin Heng also sold a lot of cattle. Of the 32 adult cows, only 10 were left, young cows that had just reached sexual maturity this year and had become pregnant in August. All the previous cows and bulls were eliminated.

Among the 22 cattle eliminated, there were 12 bulls and 10 cows, with a total weight of 23,960 kilograms.

Cows grow slowly but are very heavy. The bulls in his family weigh more than 1,200 kilograms, and the cows can weigh more than 700 kilograms.

The current price range of beef is between six yuan and six and a half yuan, and the wholesale price reaches three yuan and twenty cents per pound. The total sales amounted to seventy-six thousand six hundred and seventy-two yuan.

These cattle and sheep were sold one after another for more than half a month, until November 21st, when the whole sale was completed. The beautiful season with colorful forests turned into a season withered and desolate.

The cattle and sheep were eventually sold for a total of 137,462 yuan, a good ending to five years of hard work.

At noon that day, Lin Heng sent away the last few carts pulling cattle, turned back to the cattle and sheep pen, and saw his parents standing there in a daze.

"What's the matter? Are you reluctant to leave?" Lin Heng asked with a smile, putting his hands on their shoulders.

Mother Lin turned around and said, "I'm a little reluctant to let him go. After all, I've raised him for so many years."

"I don't, I'm just a little bit not used to it. But that's okay, I feel much more relaxed now." Father Lin took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"Son, you are really good at calculating. You started doing this the year before last. At that time, I was afraid of being punished and losing money. I didn't expect the price to increase so much now." Lin's mother turned around and patted Lin Heng's arm.

"Of course, I am a reincarnated god." Lin Heng joked while looking at his mother.

Although my parents are older now, both in their fifties, they look better than before. Besides eating better, being mentally more relaxed is another major reason for this.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin's mother patted him.

After talking for a few words, the three of them looked at the cattle and sheep pen together. At present, there were too many empty sheep in the pen at once.

There are currently only 53 pure Longdong black goats left, and 10 cattle left, including 10 adult cattle and ten calves.

Among the ten cows, there is one stud cow and two young female dairy cows. These are all Dutch dairy cows. Both of them are producing milk now. One is eight months pregnant and the other is five months pregnant.

They deliberately arranged this to be staggered, so that there will always be one cow producing milk. Currently, Lin's father and mother will sell some milk at a low price because they cannot finish it if Lin Heng and his friends go down.

The remaining seven are all young Qinchuan cows, all of which have been pregnant for three or four months and are expected to give birth in May next year.

"Mom and Dad, I heard that a lot of people want to buy our calves recently. Why don't you sell them?" Lin Heng said as he looked at the calves eating grass in the pen. These guys already weigh about 400 kilograms and are growing very fast.

"It's too cheap. Our calves are big, so we might as well raise them and sell them. It's just a matter of collecting hay and shoveling manure," said Lin's father.

"Son, we can't finish all the milk at home. Why don't you come back every few days to get some? The milk from our own cows is definitely better than the milk from those farms in the suburbs." Mother Lin looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Let's wait and see." Lin Heng smiled slightly. He knew that his mother wanted him to come back more often, but he might not have the time.

"Let's talk about this later. Let's hurry up and cook now so we can celebrate today. Our eldest son and his family will be back from work soon," said Father Lin.

Recently, during the dry season, the village organized people to build two small reservoirs for water storage. Every household in the village contributed, but they did not go because they had something else to do.

"It's time to cook. How about we make hotpot?" Mother Lin looked at Lin Heng.

"Sure, I like hot pot." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.

"Then let's make hot pot. I'll go pick vegetables from the greenhouse. I just happened to pick some oyster mushrooms and enoki mushrooms yesterday." Mother Lin said and walked out.

Lin Heng and his father also went out together. Lin Heng went to the musk deer pen, took a walk around it, and then came back.

The situation with musk deer is still the same. The basic methods of breeding have been figured out and things are going pretty well at the moment.

Some villagers wanted to buy it, but Lin's father refused to sell it. So Lin Heng helped them apply for special breeding and filed it with the Forestry Bureau.

After a stroll, Lin Heng went to help prepare the ingredients for lunch. He went to the freezer in the village house and took out the frozen mutton and pork. He hadn't bought beef in the past few days, so there was nothing to eat.

At 12 o'clock, they picked up the eldest brother's family and ate hot pot together. Hot pot is the most heartwarming in this season, and everyone feels relaxed and comfortable after eating it.

Lin Heng dipped a piece of beef in the sauce with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few times, swallowed it with satisfaction, then looked up at his eldest brother and asked, "Brother, how is the reservoir repair going?"

"The one in Sanyegou has been repaired for more than half. With more people, there is more strength, and the speed is pretty fast." Lin Yue looked up and said with a smile.

"I want to take my parents to the city this afternoon and come back tomorrow. Brother, please feed the cattle and sheep at night." Lin Heng said with a smile again.

The dams built in the village are all earth-rock dams. Not much concrete is used, so just apply a layer on the surface, and the construction process is really fast.

He didn't go to take a closer look. He was there when the blasting of the stone cannon was started and the stones were taken from the mountain. He also helped to pull some materials later.

"Of course it's no problem. You can go without worry. Your elder brother and I are here." Liu Juan agreed with a smile.

She was also very happy this year. Apart from anything else, just listening to Lin Heng's words, the goods they purchased at the beginning of the year made their family make a lot of money. Therefore, she would not refuse any help from Lin Heng's family.

"Your sister-in-law is right. There's nothing wrong at the reservoir. Everyone saw you helping to transport so many free materials before." Lin Yue nodded.

"That's fine. I'll take my parents downstairs to play in the afternoon and buy some things. I'll bring them back tomorrow." Lin Heng said.

After the discussion, he asked his father to pack up after dinner, and then they went into the city together.

Xiulan knew Lin Heng's plan in advance and had already prepared the food. And because it was Friday, Caiyun was also there, so they celebrated in the evening.

The next morning, Lin Heng went to deposit the money. The money he received from selling the cattle and sheep was all in cash. Bank transfers were not convenient in those days, so they were usually paid in cash.

The money from buying cattle and sheep plus the money from selling apples and grapes totaled 148,000 yuan. Lin Heng's parents insisted that he keep the money because they felt that he had no vision and it was useless to keep so much money. Lin Heng could make money from it.

In the end, Lin Heng only deposited 100,000 yuan into his newly opened Agricultural Bank passbook, and he deposited the remaining 40,000 yuan into his parents' passbooks respectively, allowing them to withdraw the money whenever they wanted to spend it.

You are not allowed to buy gold either, but it’s not that you can’t buy it. Since the end of the Bretton Woods system and the advent of the credit currency era, domestic gold trading has been gradually opened up and can be bought directly from banks.

But gold is not very convenient after all. Sometimes it is difficult to exchange it when you want to spend money, so saving some is enough.

"The money you gave us will just lie dormant in the passbook," said Lin's mother.

"You've bought everything you need. What else do you think we need?" Father Lin also spread his hands.

"Don't talk about this. Get in the car. I'll take you to buy a refrigerator and a color TV." Lin Heng looked at his parents and said with a smile.

Without giving the two a chance to speak, he pushed them into the car and went to the department store. He first spent 4,300 yuan to buy a large refrigerator, and then spent another 1,500 yuan to buy a larger color TV.

Lin Heng never bought a TV in his own place, at most he had a tape recorder with radio. It is not good for children to watch TV when they are too young, because their concentration and other aspects will be affected.

Although television has its good side, children simply cannot resist the temptation, so it is best not to buy it. Let them play with toys and do more sports. Once they have developed basic habits, it will be more appropriate to install a TV at home after they are six years old.

I buy it for my parents because I want to give them some new ways of entertainment, otherwise they will be bored and can watch TV when they have nothing to do.

"Come on, I'll buy you another set of clothes, don't refuse." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Go back and call Xiulan and Caiyun, and we'll buy a set for everyone. It's just right that Xiaoxia doesn't have school today." Lin's mother said.

"This is suitable. Let's consider it as a celebration. Afterwards I will buy a pair of shoes for Lin Wei and the others." Lin's father also said.

"Okay, let's go back." Lin Heng did not refuse. He went back and called Xiulan and the children over, and they bought a set of clothes together.

At noon, they had a big meal at a restaurant outside. In the afternoon, Lin Heng returned to Hongfeng Mountain with his wife, children, parents and sister.

"Son, do you really know how to install this TV?" Lin's mother asked curiously. A refrigerator can be installed by plugging it into the power supply, but installing a TV is very troublesome.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee there will be no problem." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Caiyun and the children went to the chicken coop halfway up the mountain to feed Kunkun and pick up eggs. Lin Heng installed the refrigerator and TV, then went out to turn on the TV pot.

First install the TV dish in a rough direction, and then make fine adjustments. With the feedback from Lin's mother in the room, the TV soon showed the picture and received the channel.

"It's really good, son, you're awesome!" Mother Lin gave a thumbs up while changing the channel.

"It's not difficult, just try it slowly." Lin Heng gave a brief explanation. If the direction is affected by the wind next time, they can try it themselves.

In fact, if the TV dish is turned in the wrong direction these days, it can even receive many exciting adult programs from abroad.

"Okay." Lin's mother nodded, but her eyes were on the TV. The same went for Lin's father and Xiulan. It was also their first time to see color TV.

Although Lin Heng has seen everything, it has been so many years since he last saw it, and he still misses it a little.

"Dad, is this the TV? It's amazing!"

The children who came back from picking up the eggs watched TV and suddenly became curious babies.

Some asked why there were people in here, and some asked why there was no TV in the house below them.

Lin Heng did not find the children annoying. He explained these things to them one by one and said that he would install them later.

Everyone watched Animal World together for a while before going to cook. The children were especially fascinated and surrounded Lin Heng asking questions.

After dinner, the three children were still reluctant to go home, but they all went back after Lin Heng called them, but they wanted to run back again early the next morning.

"It seems that we can't install the TV too early." Xiulan said with a smile.

"The main reason is that some of the content is not suitable for children." Lin Heng said. He had told Xiulan a long time ago that he would not install a TV, and she understood it.

After breakfast, Lin Heng went to check out the refrigerator. After a night of experimentation, he found that the refrigerator worked very well. It would be more convenient for Lin's father and mother to put whatever they wanted in it in the future.

Lin Heng also promised them that he would come back to get the milk when he was free and no longer go to the suburbs to buy it.

They returned to the city that afternoon. In the evening, Lin Heng carefully counted the money he had. Excluding the company account, he now had 200,000 yuan in his personal account.

In fact, only 90,000 yuan was left from last year, and the remaining 110,000 yuan was earned this year. After the pigs are sold next month, he will earn a lot of money, and he heard that the demolition money will be paid soon.

"Is it over, husband?" Xiulan came behind Lin Heng and hugged his neck and asked softly. (End of this chapter)
