Chapter 6

Chen Hongfu turned his head to Su Xinghui, "Little Su, you haven't seen a wild boar, right? Let's go, let's go see the wild boar caught by Zhongfu together."

Zhao Zhongfu got up and said, "Yes, let's go to my house to see the wild boar."

Su Xinghui had naturally seen wild boars with his own eyes in his previous life, let alone dead ones, he had seen live ones several times. However, at this time, he could only pretend to be seeing a wild boar for the first time and followed them excitedly.

Zhao Zhongfu's house was not far from the village committee. Several people walked there in a few minutes. Entering the courtyard of the Zhao family that looked very historical, they saw Zhao Zhongfu's wife standing in the courtyard. She was a simple farm woman. Seeing guests coming to the house, a shy smile appeared on her face. Zhao Zhongfu led Chen Hongfu and Su Xinghui into the kitchen, and saw a large cutting board with a medium-sized wild boar on it, looking like seventy or eighty jin. Now the wild boar had been gutted, and various internal organs were placed on the side, tidied up cleanly, just waiting to be cooked.

In addition, there were two cleaned wild chickens, a wild rabbit, and a fat little beast that looked like a large mouse on the cutting board. Su Xinghui, who had lived here for several years, recognized that it was a bamboo rat.

The bamboo rat was an animal that lived in the bamboo forest and fed on bamboo. Its meat carried a clear fragrance of bamboo, which was a wild game that the locals liked most. The mountain range south of Yezhugou was full of bamboo forests, so there were bamboo rats growing. However, the number of bamboo rats had become fewer and fewer in recent years, and it was not easy to catch one.

Looking at these wild games in Zhao Zhongfu's house, Chen Hongfu and Su Xinghui both understood that this was definitely not as simple as Zhao Zhongfu accidentally catching a wild boar. It must have been painstakingly prepared by these village cadres just to let Chen Hongfu agree to reduce the villagers' retention and coordination, which made Chen Hongfu silent.

Zhao Zhongfu shouted to his wife, "Xiao Qin, the distinguished guests are here, hurry up and tidy up, the distinguished guests will drink here later."

Xiao Qin agreed, and Zhao Zhongfu led several people to his hall to sit down. He got two more large enamel mugs, scalded them with boiling water, and poured a cup of cold boiled water for Chen Hongfu and Su Xinghui each. The other village cadres were not so particular, they poured water for themselves if they wanted to drink.

Fang Youcai saw that Su Xinghui had nothing to say, fearing that he would be neglected, he smiled at Su Xinghui, "Little Su, a college student from a prestigious university, how did you come to our poor mountain valley? This is considered a waste of talent."

Xia Lan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Is this the new college student in the township? No wonder I don't know him!"

Su Xinghui smiled, "What kind of waste of talent is this? It's work wherever you go."

Xia Lan looked at Su Xinghui, "Such a white and clean young man, I don't know if he can get used to it here."

Su Xinghui's skin was quite white, and he couldn't get tanned. He nodded, "I can get used to it, I can get used to it."

Chen Hongfu said, "You don't know this, Little Su is a college student, but he is not delicate at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought him down to the village. In the future, maybe he will go down to the village alone, and you will have to support his work."

Several people nodded, "That's for sure."

Chen Hongfu said again, "By the way, a few days ago, someone drank poison at the entrance of the township government, and it was Little Su who saved him."

"Really?" Several people were a bit unbelievable.

"Of course it's true." Chen Hongfu told the story of Lu Dawang drinking poison that day.

Several people couldn't help but praise again, and Su Xinghui quickly was humble for a few words.

Xia Lan sighed, "Family planning work is really not easy to do, something happens at every turn."

Chen Hongfu said with a serious face, "No matter what, this work must be done well, otherwise if the county hits my board, I will have to hit your board."

Gao Daping said with a wink, "Xia Lan, if Secretary Chen is willing to hit your board, you just lift your butt and let Secretary Chen hit it."

Several people laughed, and Chen Hongfu couldn't help but smile. He pointed at Gao Daping, "You, this Gao Daping!"

Xia Lan said heartily, "Okay, if there is a problem with my work, I will go to the township government myself to let Secretary Chen hit the board."

After laughing for a while, Zhao Zhongfu said, "Rural work is not easy to do. The root cause is that the countryside is too poor, and the concepts are backward."

Chen Hongfu nodded, "Yes, it's too poor here. I also want to develop the economy, but I just don't know where to start."

Su Xinghui spoke, "In fact, there is no way to develop the economy here."

Chen Hongfu asked, "You have a way? Let's hear it."

Su Xinghui said, "This is also my immature idea. When I was studying, I saw in the newspaper that those economically developed areas have special breeding. Like the wild game in Director Zhao's kitchen, wild boars, wild chickens, bamboo rats, etc., can all be bred. This is a way to get rich. In addition, aren't there many bamboos here? You can set up a bamboo weaving factory, weave some bamboo utensils, handicrafts, etc., which are very popular in big cities."

Several people looked at each other, Fang Youcai said, "Can this wild game also be bred?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Of course it can be bred. I saw it in the newspaper, many people have become rich by breeding these things."

Zhao Zhongfu slapped his thigh, "If what you said is true, that would be great. But I don't know how to breed it? I don't know if the cost is high?"

Su Xinghui said, "I have also read some materials, this thing is not difficult to breed, and the cost is not high. Taking wild boars as an example, catch wild boars in the mountains, choose the strong male boars, mate with domestic female boars, the piglets born are similar to wild boars, and then raise them in the pigsty. The feed uses green grass in the mountains, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. planted in the fields, add some other feed, and add some additives. Of course, it is best to let these wild boar cubs run for a period of time every day. You can enclose an open space outside the pigsty with wire mesh and let them run out, which can enhance their wildness and make their bodies better. Of course, for how to breed specifically, it is best to find technical personnel, preferably experts in this field. With their guidance, it will definitely be bred well."

Xia Lan smiled, "It's really worthy of being a college student, he is knowledgeable, he can see the way by reading the newspaper. Like us, we can fall asleep by reading a newspaper."

Chen Hongfu frowned, "Engaging in special breeding, the county had a place to engage in it before, but it was not breeding this kind of wild animal, but breeding long-haired rabbits. However, the farmers raised a lot, and the company that sold the breeding rabbits said it was guaranteed to be sold, but later they disappeared without a trace. The rabbits raised by the farmers could not be sold and could only be killed for meat. Since then, no one has raised these things anymore. At most, they raise pigs and chickens."

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Chen, you are worried about the sales channel after breeding these things, right? This doesn't need to be rushed. Several restaurants in the county will definitely welcome it. In addition, you can go to Jiangcheng to find sales channels. Jiangcheng is such a big place, it must be easy to sell. Just think, even we eat less of this thing, will it be rarer when it reaches Jiangcheng?"

Seeing that Su Xinghui's words were reasonable, Chen Hongfu nodded, "That is indeed the truth. It's just that I can run the way in the county, but we are all blind in Jiangcheng. Who can run it? Can you ask first?"

Su Xinghui looked at Fang Youcai and the others, "Of course I can ask. I studied in Jiangcheng for four years and know some people. Not only can I ask about sales channels, but I can also find people to ask about breeding technology. However, this also depends on whether Secretary Fang and the others have the determination to engage in breeding. If they don't have this determination, it will be in vain for me to ask."

Fang Youcai hesitated, "It's good to engage in breeding, but the village is poor, what money to use as capital?"

Chen Hongfu said, "Listening to what Little Su said, it doesn't seem to cost much money. Just building a pigsty needs money, you have labor, find the township credit union to borrow a few thousand yuan to buy some bricks, that's enough."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Hmm, just need some bricks to build pigsties, chicken coops, etc., at most pull some wire mesh. The bamboo weaving factory doesn't even need a factory building, just concentrate them after each family weaves them."

Fang Youcai and Zhao Zhongfu looked at each other, nodded and said, "If the investment is not large, then it can be done."

Chen Hongfu could also be considered a decisive person. He said to Su Xinghui, "Little Su, time is of the essence, tomorrow is Saturday, you have been in Meng Hu Ling for more than twenty days, and you haven't been home yet. You go back tomorrow, rest at home for a day or two, and then go to Jiangcheng to ask about the situation. If you find breeding technology and have sales channels, let them officially start building the breeding farm. Youcai, you also start making some preparations now."
