Chapter 116 The Farm's New Department!
The wild boar melon seeds are like a war god.
At night, wild boars from the mountains tried to sneak into the farm, but Guazi chased them all back.
The other party didn't get angry at all.
After all, sunflower seeds are a size larger, more imposing, and more powerful than them.
Farms are never short of guardians.
After all, they are all doomsday battle pets, so driving away wild boars in the mountains is a piece of cake for them.
After all, if it were truly the apocalypse, who knows what kind of terrifying mutated creatures might attack the farm at night.
Xu Ran slept soundly.
Now that we've moved to a new house, the overall renovation is exceptionally beautiful.
Closing the windows also provides better sound insulation; sometimes you can't even hear the rooster crowing.
The bedroom was very quiet.
The neighboring farm is in dire straits, with wild boars running rampant. Han Tae has tried everything to drive them away, but to no avail, leaving him feeling quite helpless.
the next day.
In the morning, a farmer from Nanshan Village came to find Xu Ran.
From what he said, he was asking Xu Ran's farm if they would buy the wheat he planted this year.
Xu Ran was very surprised.
"I sell to others; I never buy wheat."
Xu Ran responded.
"Aren't you in the flour business? Flour factories need materials too. If you need them, the whole village can grow them for you."
"I'll sell you the wheat later, isn't that great?"
The farmers suggested.
Generally speaking, what the farmers say is not a problem.
Since everyone lives in the same area and the quality of crops is similar, it's best to buy agricultural crops at a low price by selling agricultural by-products.
But Xu Ran is different.
He takes a small-scale, high-quality approach, meaning he produces less but only the best.
The brand name of You Ran Farm also represents this meaning.
"I really can't keep up with the demand. I grew so much myself, and this is all I can sell."
"The price of wheat is fixed now, and there are wheat buyers in the town, so you can just sell it to them."
Xu Ran responded politely.
Upon hearing this, the farmer nodded, "Okay, I was just asking. I mean, it's convenient for you to buy now."
After saying that, the farmer left.
Xu Ran's farm business is doing well, and many people are eyeing it, always wanting to take advantage of it.
Xu Ran felt that all of this was normal, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, crops only grow this well within his farm area; they simply can't grow this well outside.
The weather was lovely in the afternoon.
The swallows under the eaves, a rare occurrence, came out and stood on the roof, spreading their wings and basking in the sun.
Birds do sunbathe.
They stood with their chests out, heads held high, wings spread, motionless on the ground, like statues.
so cute.
"Hey, sunbathing!"
Seeing their posture, Xu Ran greeted them with a smile.
The male swallow was very good at handling things; it immediately flew down, landed on Xu Ran's hand, and greeted Xu Ran.
Then it flew back to continue sunbathing.
Not just the two of them, Xu Ran walked over to the pasture area.
The dogs were all lying on the ground, and the wild boars and cattle were lying on their sides, all sunbathing and sleeping.
Each one is happier than the last.
This is truly a comfortable life.
Even Xu Ran felt a little sleepy after watching it.
He observed for a while, then went to stroll over to the work area.
He's been planning to start a fresh milk business lately.
It's simple in a way: just find a room, install a special machine for sterilizing milk at high temperatures, add some ingredients, and you can make yogurt and fresh milk.
The fresh milk will be packaged in a transparent bag, shaped like a jelly, and you can drink it as soon as you open it.
The yogurt is served in a transparent bowl, similar in shape to yogurt with a milk skin.
Then they can be sold.
"A good quality Holstein cow costs around 2 yuan. If I buy five, that would be 10 yuan."
"A dairy cow produces 5 tons of milk a year, and one ton of milk can be sold for 6000 yuan, which is 3 yuan. Five dairy cows can earn 15 yuan."
"Of course, some costs of raising dairy cows need to be deducted, plus the fact that dairy cows produce less milk during pregnancy."
"The cost of the equipment must also be taken into account."
"No matter how you calculate it, breaking even in a year shouldn't be a problem."
Xu Ran was making plans in her mind.
Dairy farming is a relatively stable investment method with a long initial investment period and a relatively low rate of return.
On the one hand, it depends on the breed of the cow. Some cheap cows can be bought for 6000 yuan, which is definitely not as good as those worth 2 yuan.
The two that Xu Ran just bought are of a very good breed.
He plans to go to the dairy farm and buy three more cows to make a total of five.
On the other hand, it depends on the area where the farm is located.
For example, in the grasslands, milk is cheaper than water.
That's just how outrageous it is.
In the area where Xu Ran lives, there aren't many dairy cows, so the price of fresh milk is still quite good.
It's a very good business.
"I'm increasingly convinced that it's better to have a larger pasture."
"You can raise cattle and sheep here, and you can let the animals roam around without worrying about them trampling on you."
Xu Ran really liked the pasture area on the farm.
If it were someone else, they would definitely think it's a waste. They rented such a large piece of land and would love to plant it all with crops, but you've gone and planted pasture instead.
But Xu Ran didn't think so.
They even want to further expand the planting area of pasture.
Even if you can't finish it all, it's okay. The leftover hay can be harvested and sold.
Farmers raise cattle and sheep in winter, and to prevent the animals from starving, they have to buy hay.
The pasture here grows quickly, and can even be harvested twice a year.
It's also a way to make money.
Just do it.
So, in the following period, Xu Ran began to recruit employees and, incidentally, establish a new department: the breeding department.
The breeding department is tentatively looking for four people.
One person was responsible for feeding the pigs, cattle, and sheep, while the other three people were responsible for processing dairy products.
The recipes were all provided by Xu Ran.
All they need to do is milk the cows, sterilize them, and then make fresh milk according to the recipe.
The process is not complicated. Many small workshops are now producing fresh milk, and the quality is not bad.
Even many big-brand supermarkets have their own branded fresh milk, and they add new products every day.
From this perspective, producing fresh milk is a worthwhile investment.
Just do it.
Xu Ran immediately busied herself recruiting people.
The employees were very concerned when they heard that the farm was going to expand.
After all, everyone lives together, so it's natural to be curious about new employees.
In addition, Xu Ran found another chef, a former head chef who had worked in a restaurant, named Qian Daman.
Qian Daman felt that the restaurant's kitchen was too complicated, and his personality was being marginalized, so he simply quit.
This person is a very good cook, but doesn't talk much. He doesn't live in the city; he prefers to live in a small courtyard in the suburbs, where he grows some flowers, two dogs, and a few chickens.
So when he heard that the farm was hiring a cook, he applied and worked there for two days before deciding to stay.
He just felt comfortable and it suited him perfectly.
When Wang Ping heard that a new chef had arrived, she came to see Xu Ran with some worry in her voice, fearing that she would be fired.
Xu Ran told her, "Don't worry, I won't fire anyone. As long as they don't do anything against principle and the farm can continue to operate, I won't lay off any employees."
"We're about to set up a breeding department and a fresh milk factory. How can you manage to feed so many people all by yourself?"
"Two people have one helper."
"Qian Daman is a good guy, he doesn't talk much. You two just need to divide the work and take care of the kitchen."
Hearing Xu Ran say that, Wang Ping finally relaxed.
Now, the farm is even more lively.
It's more like a real, modern farm.
It has its own industrial park, its own factory, and its own planting area.
Although the area is not large, it cannot compare to those large companies that rent thousands of acres of pasture.
But it's also heartwarming, with all sorts of adorable animals.
I'm having a very comfortable time every day.
