Chapter 37

In 1992, the market price of a jin of pork was about five yuan. If the price of wild boar meat was two or three times that of domestic pork, it would be over ten yuan per jin. Therefore, the ex-farm price of a raw pig would be at least ten yuan per jin, which was a very high price.

If a wild boar was raised to 150 to 200 jin before being sold, it could bring in an income of one or two thousand yuan. After deducting costs, it could earn at least a thousand yuan, which was a huge income at that time.

The prices of pheasants and bamboo rats also satisfied the group, especially the bamboo rats. If they could be sold for several dozen yuan per jin, a bamboo rat could be raised to three or four jin. In this way, a small bamboo rat could bring in an income of two or three hundred, which was not a small amount.

The group looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Li Maofare said, "Secretary, Township Head, it seems this matter is promising!"

Chen Hongfu nodded and said, "Of course it's promising. Now the question is whether to let the collective do it or individuals do it."

Whether this farm is run by the collective or by individuals makes a big difference. Dong Jianshu and Li Maofare both fell into deep thought.

Dong Jianshu had a habit of smoking when thinking. He took out a cigarette case, threw one to Chen Hongfu and one to Li Maofare. When he threw one to Su Xinghui, Su Xinghui waved his hand and declined; he really didn't smoke.

Three cigarettes were lit at the same time, and wisps of smoke rose in the room. Dong Jianshu asked, "Chen Shuji, what is your opinion?"

Chen Hongfu said, "My opinion is still for the collective to do it, letting the Yezhugou Village Committee come forward. This way, the collective's income can be higher. If individuals do it, only that person will have income, and it won't be of much benefit to other villagers."

Dong Jianshu nodded and said, "I agree."

Li Maofare also nodded in agreement.

Chen Hongfu turned his head to Su Xinghui and said, "Little Su, tell us your opinion. Do you think it's better for the collective to do it or for individuals to do it?"

Chen Hongfu's high regard for Su Xinghui's opinion proved that Su Xinghui's recent outstanding performance had occupied an important position in his heart, especially since the aquaculture matter itself was Su Xinghui's idea and path, so Su Xinghui's opinion was naturally even more important.

Su Xinghui pondered for a moment, cleared his throat, and said, "Chen Shuji, I also agree with your opinion of letting the collective do it. I believe that letting the collective do it now has more benefits than letting individuals do it."

Chen Hongfu became interested all of a sudden: "Then tell us, what are the benefits of letting the collective do it?"

Dong Jianshu and Li Maofare also looked at Su Xinghui.
