Reborn in 1977

Chapter 224: Talking at the Dinner Table

Under the gaze of everyone, the Eurasian hobby swooped down, and when it was only five or six meters from the ground, it accurately tossed the little rabbit towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan's martial arts hadn't been practiced in vain either. He reached out and grabbed the little rabbit, checking it over and finding that other than being a little dazed, it wasn't affected much.

It was just dazed; it should be the same as the two rabbits just now, scared by taking a ride in an 'airplane'. Even if it was stupid, it wouldn't affect its growth and reproduction.

Including today's three, Chen Fan had accumulated 24 little rabbits in the past few days, exactly half male and half female, and could start a major breeding undertaking.

Looking at the Eurasian hobby soaring high, An Quan was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. When the Eurasian hobby flew away, he turned to look at Chen Fan, his face full of disbelief, "How did you train it?"

Before Chen Fan could speak, Yang Chuanfu said with a smile, "It's not trained. It was around the 20th of the twelfth lunar month when he found it in the snow. At that time, the bird's wing was injured. If it hadn't met him, it would have been taken away by foxes or weasels, or eaten by dogs. So after the injury healed, the bird became attached to him, but it didn't eat and live for nothing. It can almost catch a rabbit every day and bring it back. Everyone in our team knows about this."

While speaking, his envy was evident. Unfortunately, he knew his own affairs. Even if he encountered it, the bird would probably only become meat in a bowl, not one rabbit every day!

Chen Fan chuckled aside, acquiescing to Captain Yang's statement.

The first rabbits were given away in front of the militia company. This matter couldn't be concealed, but there was no need to conceal it either.

Unlike many years later when wild animals were rare, there were many psychic animals in the countryside these days. People would treat it as gossip at most, and no one would find it strange.

Hearing that the big bird took the initiative to repay his kindness, An Quan was speechless, looking at Chen Fan with a face full of regret, "I thought you could train birds and wanted to ask you to help me train an eagle. It seems there's no hope."

Which man doesn't have the dream of releasing eagles and chasing dogs? If he could get an eagle back, everyone would be envious. Why can't this Teacher Chen train eagles?

But thinking about it again, it felt normal. Teacher Chen was already versatile enough. If he could also train birds, he didn't dare to think about how this person could know so many things?

When Chen Fan heard his words, his forehead was full of black lines. Train an eagle? You really dare to think.

First of all, regardless of whether I can train it or not, the question is where are you going to catch an eagle?!

Eagles can fly, can you fly too?

After chatting for a while, An Quan looked down at the rabbits in the basket, raised his head, and said seriously, "Since you want to breed and engage in sideline businesses, you have to seize the time, summarize your experience, and then implement it in the brigade. If there are not enough rabbits at the beginning, or other resources are insufficient, then start with a small scale and then slowly expand.

If there's anything you need me to do, just say it.

Besides the commune, I also have some connections in the county. Of the educated youth in our batch, only half were recruited back to the city, and the other 9 went to county units. Now they are basically in leadership positions. I'll say hello to them, and many things will be easy to solve. This doesn't count as using public office for private gain. Providing some work convenience is still very convenient."

Seeing his expression, Chen Fan knew that he didn't joke when talking about work, so he nodded seriously, "I will definitely ask the brigade leaders and you if there are any difficulties, but my idea is to try to use the existing conditions to keep the rabbits with the members of each household.

Compared with large-scale centralized breeding, this decentralized breeding model, although not conducive to the intensive and effective use of resources, can avoid the risk of disease transmission caused by large-scale breeding to a certain extent. At the same time, by mobilizing the masses, it can also solve part of the feed problem.

"He paused for a moment, his face a little hesitant, "It's just that I don't know if this is in line with the rules."

Strictly speaking, this is a breeding version of "contracting production to households". He doesn't know enough about the current red lines. If this doesn't work, he can only follow the business model of the production team's sideline business.

That is, doing things in a fixed place with fixed personnel, which is equivalent to a small workshop-style breeding farm.

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Ye Shubao waved his hand and said with a smile, "What's wrong with the rules? Not to mention that these rabbits still belong to the production team, even if they are distributed to each household and counted as their own property, isn't that the same as raising chickens and ducks? As long as you can handle it, what's it matter if you raise a few more rabbits?!"

An Quan also smiled and said to Chen Fan, "Your current mentality is the same as when we first arrived here. You are afraid of making mistakes in everything. I will teach you a standard so you can easily distinguish."

Chen Fan immediately asked curiously, "What standard?"

An Quan stretched out his hand and drew a circle around him, "Anything related to land must be cautious and cautious."

Then he spread his hands and said with a smile, "Anything that has nothing to do with land can be done with confidence and boldness. Even if you raise a hundred chickens, as long as you can take care of them, no one here will care about you. If there's a gust of wind or a cold snap one day, you have to rush to sell the chickens. As long as you can get rid of them, it's still okay."

Chen Fan blinked, a little enlightened in his heart.

These days, the customs in various places are different. Some places are strict and some places are loose. At least in the Nanhu Commune, it is relatively loose. As long as you don't make principled mistakes, no one will care.

But having said that, those who actually take action are rare.

It's not a question of daring or not. In An Quan's words, raising a hundred chickens also requires taking care of them. There are so many resources, no capital, chicken seedlings and feed are all problems, and chicken coops have to be built. Most people now live in earthen-walled houses, where does the money come from to build standard brick and tile chicken coops?

In addition, the Jiangnan area is rich in products. As long as you follow the steps, you can always ensure food and clothing. As a result, there are fewer and fewer people with a "change" mentality and needs, so few people do "outrageous" things.

Just as Chen Fan was thinking, An Quan turned to Ye Shubao and said, "Brother Ye, I think Teacher Chen's idea is very good, and he has already started to take action to prepare for breeding rabbits and expanding the breeding scale. Should we call Secretary Yang and the others for a meeting to finalize some details?"

Ye Shubao nodded and said, "We have been thinking about holding a meeting for a few days, to take advantage of the advantage of having many veterinarians in Lujiawan to start a sideline business of breeding farms.

It's just that Xiao Chen and the others had to go to the veterinary station for further studies and get certificates, and then it was spring plowing, so there was no time to take care of this matter until today.

Even if you don't mention it today, we will find Xiao Chen to finalize this matter after we finish this period."

An Quan pondered for two seconds, raised his head and said with a smile, "Well, it's better to choose a day than to bump into it. It just so happens that I'm here today. According to the rules, you have to treat me to a meal and drinks,…"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Chuanfu waved his hands repeatedly, with a look of disgust on his face, "Oh, why are you like this? In the past, when other cadres came to stay, we would urge them three times and invite them four times, and someone had to pull them to the dinner table. But when it comes to you, you ask for food and drinks as soon as you open your mouth. Aren't you a gluttonous good-for-nothing?"

An Quan grinned and laughed, "That's different. They are guests, and guests must be polite. I'm coming back to my mother's house. What did you say when I got married a few years ago? Team 6 of Lujiawan is my mother's house, the old captain is my uncle, and you are my elder brother. What's the problem with me sponging a meal and drinks from my uncle?!

"Moreover, it's for work today. We can talk about things at the dinner table, which neither delays work nor delays eating. It's a win-win situation. How great."

Faced with such a shameless person, Yang Chuanfu had no choice. He turned to Ye Shubao and said, "Then come to my place tonight, and call Secretary Yang, Team Leader Zhang, and Team Leader Xiao."

He pointed to Chen Fan again, "Add Xiao Chen, and have a table at my house, both to welcome An Quan and to discuss the construction of the breeding farm."

Ye Shubao nodded, "Okay, then we'll work overtime today, and this meal will be charged to the brigade's account."

For entertaining guests for work, all the ingredients are paid for from the public account. Whoever's house they eat at will give the materials to that house, or convert the value of the ingredients into work points for accounting.

Now that Ye Shubao said this, the reimbursement unit has changed from Team 6 to the brigade, which is equivalent to saving Team 6 a meal.

After reaching an agreement, the group continued to move forward.

An Quan and Captain Yang were going back to Team 6. Ye Shubao was going the same way as them, and then he would transfer to Team 7 to check the spring plowing situation. He had to run through it every day, as much as he could, without resting for a day.

Chen Fan still had to go back to the broadcasting station to turn off the broadcast, so he said goodbye.
