Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

South Suburb Farm

Compared to a few months ago, it has completely changed.

Along the houses and the walls, there are many large trees, including northeastern pines, poplars, cypresses, and sycamores. These were planted by Li Guohua himself in the summer, and after being irrigated with space water, they are now very dense.

Most of the fields have been cultivated, and the vegetables, fruits and melons are green, tender and full of vitality. Anyone who sees them wants to walk up and take a closer look.

In addition to the vegetable fields, there are about twenty acres of wheat fields, which were planted this year in a rush.

There is no other way. The farm is really short of manpower. Even if more than 20 people were hired later, only so much land could be cultivated. After all, it still needs to be cultivated, loosened, and ridged. It is not so easy to rely on manpower alone.

In addition to the land, a chicken coop and a duck coop were built inside the west wall of the farm. The terrain of the farm is high in the west and low in the southeast, which is a perfect location.

We have now raised more than 100 chickens of different sizes and a dozen ducks. We will accumulate some experience this year and expand the scale of breeding next year.

Liu Fuhan from Chaoyang Commune is in charge of all these. His grandfather was a duck farmer before liberation, specializing in raising Beijing stuffed ducks. He has been doing this all his life, so there is no need to mention his experience.

Li Guohua stood in the open space at the gate, surrounded by baskets. There were also 7 or 8 people who were constantly transporting baskets here.

At the farm gate, there were two half-grown black dogs fighting with each other. Sometimes you pounced on me, sometimes I pounced on you, it was so joyful.

"Saihu, Tietou, stop making trouble!" Li Guohua looked at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, so he hurriedly shouted to the two dogs.

When the two dogs heard Li Guohua's voice, they immediately ran over, one on the left and one on the right, opening their mouths and sticking out their tongues, wagging their tails.

These two dogs were captured from the old village chief of Hewan Village and have German Shepherd bloodline.

After being fed continuously by Li Guohua, the cat no longer looked skinny when it first came, but has grown very strong and is now the size of an ordinary local dog.

There are so many people on the entire farm, but they seem to know who their owner is. They are close to Li Guohua and listen to him the most.

"Dudu!"

In the distance, a GAZ car wobbled into the farm gate.

After the car stopped, a young man got out of the driver's seat. Who else could it be but He Fei.

"Guohua, I'm here. I had a meeting this morning. Am I not late?" He Fei said with a little apology.

The main reason was that their team leader seemed a little dissatisfied with his active involvement in farm affairs. The team that held the meeting in the morning deliberately did not let him go and even delayed the meeting for a while.

"It's okay, the time is just right!" Li Guohua said with a smile

He gave He Fei a cigarette, and then called on everyone on the farm to start loading the truck.

With the cooperation of everyone, baskets of pure white and juicy cabbages, tender spinach, lettuce, carrots and other vegetables were loaded onto the truck one by one.

"Guohua, it's only been a short time and your farm is already doing so well. It's like a dream!" He Fei exclaimed sincerely as he looked at the baskets of vegetables.

It was under his personal witness that the farm was built from scratch, step by step, and finally developed to the present day, delivering a large truckload of vegetables to the textile factory every day.

"Hahaha, Brother Fei, that's how growing vegetables works. As long as you work hard, you will definitely get a harvest. It's the same for anyone!"

Li Guohua said it was simple, but his heart was filled with pride.

It started with a few dozen kilograms and 2-3 baskets of vegetables every day, and then it increased every day, more and more, until now it is more than 2000 kilograms a day, a whole truck filled to the brim. Who else can do this?

It is said to be two thousand kilograms, but in fact it is more or less. It is mainly cabbage. One large cabbage weighs more than ten kilograms, and two hundred large cabbages can weigh two thousand kilograms, not counting other vegetables.

One acre of land can grow about 4000 cabbages. I have ten acres of land where I plant cabbages. If I transplant all the seedlings, they will mature in more than a month.

If I work at full capacity, I can grow 100,000 cabbages every month at the peak. In order to ensure uninterrupted supply, I plant them in two batches, and I can deliver 20,000 cabbages to the textile factory every month.

It’s incredible, 6000 kilograms a day, it’s definitely impossible to finish it!

"Director, everything is ready!" Yuan Fu handed over a notebook and said with a smile.

When there were outsiders around, he still knew to call him director instead of junior manager.

The notebook he handed over recorded the details of the vegetables loaded every day. They were weighed and registered at the farm, and then signed and confirmed by the canteen as the farm's shipping record.

In addition to this notebook, there is also an account book on the farm, which Jiang Dongmei is responsible for recording and keeping.

There was no other way. She was the most careful person in the entire farm. The others all had some problem of losing things, so Li Guohua had to leave it to her.

"okay, I get it!"

Li Guohua took the notebook, took a quick look at it, and felt there was no problem, so he asked others to carry their bicycles on the bus.

I must take He Fei's bike to the factory, but I can't leave my bicycle behind, otherwise after I get to the factory, I'll have to run everywhere I go.

After talking to everyone, the two of them staggered all the way to the textile factory.

By the time they arrived at the cafeteria, it was already past 9 o'clock and the cafeteria helpers had been waiting for them for a long time.

Since the farm's output has become more and more stable, the proportion of vegetable rations in the textile factory has also begun to decrease. If they don't get this vegetable, the cafeteria can't make the big pot meal at noon. The later the time is, the busier they will be.

“Here they come, here they come, hurry up and call someone to unload the truck!”

When the cafeteria monitor Liu Laoshi saw Li Guohua getting off the car, he immediately asked someone to call for help.

"Chef Liu, you must be getting impatient."

When Li Guohua saw Liu Laoshi running over, he knew that the other party was waiting anxiously, so he said everything and offered him a cigarette first.

"Well, it's only 9 o'clock. Good food is never too late. Don't be in a hurry!"

Liu Laoshi looked at the peony in his hand and smiled, “I am an honest man and I never tell lies.”

Li Guohua smiled and said nothing. He handed the notebook in his hand to the kitchen helper He Qingyou and asked him to check the quantities.

"Director Li, have you heard about this? There's been a lot of talk in the factory lately that there's a wild boar in Kaoshan Village. When can you go get one, let us get some benefit too?" A female helper suddenly said as everyone was busy unloading vegetables.

The truth is that there has not been any big fat meat in the factory for some time. Even the people in the cafeteria are shouting that there is no fat meat. It can be seen how much the workers in the factory are craving for meat.

"What nonsense! I heard that there is a group of wild boars in Kaoshan Village, and you can't even kill them with a gun!" Liu Laoshi scolded.

"Guohua, you are listening to their nonsense. Who would tell you that this wild boar is easy to fight?"

As the canteen monitor, Liu Laoshi still has brains and a sense of struggle.

The news came out suddenly, and once it was spread, the whole factory was buzzing. He felt something was wrong. These days, everyone is hiding things very well, eating meat secretly, who would tell others.
