Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

On the road outside Nanjiao Farm, Li Guohua was pedaling his bicycle hard.

The weather in the capital has changed again. A few days ago, I was still lamenting that spring hasn't arrived yet, but summer is about to come.

As a result, a cold wave suddenly moved south last night, and the temperature at the end of April instantly returned to winter. When I got up in the morning, all of Uncle Three's flowers and plants were covered with frost.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard were all frosted, what about the vegetables on the farm? Li Guohua didn't even have time to eat, and rushed straight to the farm.

When we arrived at the farm, everyone was already up and eating.

"Uncle Yuan, how are the vegetables on the farm?" Li Guohua didn't care about anything else and walked straight towards Yuan Fu.

"Director, I guessed you were coming! Don't worry, I've checked the vegetables, they're all good, but there's some frost outside, but once the sun shines on them, they'll all be juicy!"

Yuan Fu smiled with his big black teeth showing, as if he was happy that he had guessed correctly that Li Guohua was coming.

"Okay, you eat, I'll go take a look!"

After saying that, he ignored everyone and ran to the field himself. He first found a large cabbage, broke off a leaf, and rubbed it hard. Fresh juice immediately came out.

The most feared thing about this frost is that the cells in the plant body will become dehydrated and frozen, eventually causing death. Now the leaves are so juicy, it seems that they are not harmed.

After checking some other vegetables, Li Guohua breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the vegetables grown in space were very resistant to cold and frost.

After looking at the vegetables, I went to observe the grains. Fortunately, there were no major problems.

By June, it is the wheat harvest season. For twenty acres of wheat, the yield is about 6 kilograms per acre. Even if it is cut in half outside and is only 500 kilograms, it is still a miracle.

The agricultural level at that time was relatively backward, and the wheat yield per mu was generally around 200-300 kilograms. Once these 500 kilograms came out, I was afraid that it would be like launching a small satellite again.

The reason why it is a small satellite is because it has become popular in the past two years to enlarge satellites, with news such as yielding 10,000 kilograms per mu, and the newspapers are full of such news.

It's fun to make false claims, but it's hard to pay the public grain. In addition to the fixed public grain, there are also local levies, and all of them must be paid in full when the time comes.

After deducting seed grain and reserve grain, there is very little left for the collective and individuals.

When Li Guohua returned to the kitchen, everyone had gone to work, leaving only Jiang Dongmei, Zhang Xiuxiu and Zhou Xiaohu busy.

"Guohua, you haven't eaten yet, here!"

Jiang Dongmei brought a large porcelain bowl of porridge and two wheat cakes and handed them to Li Guohua, with some pickles carefully placed on top of the porridge.

"Oh, OK! Sister Dongmei, let's make wheat cakes in the morning. I like the wheat cakes you make the most."

Flour mixed with some coarse grains, fried in oil until both sides are golden, the aroma spreads ten miles away, Li Guohua loves this the most. He picked up the big bowl with his right hand, took a big sip, picked up the wheat cake with his left hand, and ate it happily.

"As long as you are willing to leave your little wife and come to the farm for dinner, I will cook for you every day!" Jiang Dongmei teased Li Guohua when she heard what Li Guohua said.

Since Li Guohua got married, he ate very rarely at the farm, and his regular lunch was now eaten at the textile factory with his wife.

"That's great. I'll remember what you said!" Li Guohua said with a smile.

With so many people on the farm, Jiang Dongmei was definitely the right person to hire. She is busy both inside and outside the farm, and is an absolute all-rounder.

Look, he has just cleaned up the kitchen, and now he is peeling vegetables and radishes with a knife. He is busy pickling cabbage and radishes because it is not too hot these days. He is definitely a good helper in housekeeping.

Office of Director Wang of the Textile Factory

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Wang Shaosheng shouted without even raising his head.

He kept flipping through newspapers and related documents, his brows furrowed, looking like he was worried about something.

"Director, I'm here to report to you!" Li Guohua said with a smile.

"Guohua, I was just looking for you. How's the farm going? Is there any problem?"

Seeing Li Guohua come in with a smile, Wang Shaosheng felt a lot more relaxed, knowing that there should be no major problems on the farm.

"Although the cold wave came suddenly, the farm is well managed and handled this time properly. The vegetables are fine and can be supplied to the factory normally!"

Last night a cold front came southwards. I am afraid the most anxious person is not me, but the leaders in the factory. No matter what problems occur in the textile factory, these tall people are the first to bear them.

"Okay, okay, you don't know. I was so worried when I heard the news this morning! By the way, are the potatoes and wheat on the farm okay?"

In the past two months since the beginning of spring, not a drop of rain has fallen, and the water level of the river outside the textile factory has dropped by half. Agricultural production has become even more difficult, especially the supply of vegetables.

The market shares of other factories have been declining again and again, and the supply and marketing company is almost in a state of panic. I heard that the lawsuit has even been brought to the ministry. If it weren't for Li Guohua's efforts, I don't know if I would have ended up like them.

"No problem, the potatoes are growing well, and the wheat will be ready for harvest in a month or so. We estimate that we will have 10,000 kilograms of wheat."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to commend you! From today on, just do whatever you want. Everything on the farm is up to you. If you need assistance from the factory, just come to me and I'll arrange it for you!" Wang Shaosheng smiled with great joy.

If he remembered correctly, the farm had more than 20 mu of wheat and about 40 to 50 mu of potatoes. If the wheat could be harvested successfully, the textile factory would have a trump card. Even if everyone ran out of food, they could still breathe a sigh of relief.

Not to mention that by September, when the dozens of acres of potatoes are harvested, I will have at least 9 kilograms of food in my hands. If I eat sparingly, I can last at least a month.

Li Guohua probably didn't know what Wang Shaosheng was thinking, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.

Because there are no good varieties of potatoes now, the yield per mu is generally around 1000-2000 catties. But after improving the varieties, the yield per mu is more than catties, and by then, hundreds of thousands of catties will be a piece of cake.

As for how to explain it, just put the blame on Zhang Qing. As for what he will do, in order to get a promotion and a raise in salary, he will definitely find a way to publish the paper.

"Yes, I will make sure to run the farm well! By the way, Director, I see that several ranches in the north of the city are doing very well. Should we also open one? Raising chickens and ducks is just a small thing and there is no point in that!"

Seeing that Wang Shaosheng was in a good mood, Li Guohua also put forward an idea he had been planning for a long time.

There are now several large farms in the north of the city. After several years of exploration, each of them has developed very well, with hundreds of powerful dairy cows. However, they have also reached a bottleneck.

He didn't want to expand the farm, he just wanted to engage in breeding in a legitimate way and start a meat business. Raising some chickens and ducks now was too petty.

There is another reason. Just like what Shazhu said, the cooks will never be hungry, so there will never be a time when the people who can get meat and food will be killed.
