To start a supply and marketing cooperative, one must have ample reserves. Although Xiao Li had some money, he lacked other items. At present, bartering goods was still necessary as money alone was not enough.
Jiang Chuan said, “Xiao Li, don’t worry. I can provide some rice, flour, and meat from my home for your temporary use.”
Xiao Li declined, “No need, Brother Jiang. I can take the goods to be exchanged at the town’s supply and marketing cooperative. My family’s resources can support us.”
Jiang Chuan insisted, “It’s still cold, and you can’t go to town every day to exchange goods. Take these items for now, and once the cooperative is fully operational, you can return them to me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTouched, Xiao Li no longer refused and nodded in agreement.
After settling the matter, Xiao Li and Xiao Wu went about their respective tasks.
Jiang Chuan, who still had to work, stayed at the commune to handle affairs.
In the afternoon, someone unexpectedly came looking for him – it was Qin Ming.
Ever since helping Xiao Hu last time, they hadn’t seen each other for a while. Though they had agreed to visit each other, their relationship wasn’t that close yet. Jiang Chuan was puzzled by Qin Ming’s sudden visit.
Jiang Chuan asked, “Do you need something today?”
Qin Ming cleared his throat, “I heard you helped Xiao Wu and Xiao Li with the fish pond and the cooperative, so I want to ask for your help too. I want to restart my breeding farm.”
Jiang Chuan knew Qin Ming started with a breeding farm and had both experience and savings, so he didn’t need financial help. What could Qin Ming want from him?
Jiang Chuan urged, “Please be direct, Brother Qin. I can’t think of how I could be of help to you.”
Qin Ming said, “I know you have many solutions and contacts in the county town. I want to ask if you could help me acquire some dairy cows and sheep. I’ve raised chickens and ducks, but the profit is too small to help the villagers, only enough to ensure my family’s wealth. I hope to not only run a breeding farm but also produce milk and sheep’s milk, creating a perfect closed loop.”
Jiang Chuan was impressed by Qin Ming’s forward-thinking and modern business model. It was no wonder he became the first wealthy person in the village.
Jiang Chuan believed that given time, Qin Ming could expand the farm into a provincial pillar industry.
Jiang Chuan asked, “Brother Qin, how many dairy cows do you initially want to buy?”
Qin Ming thought and said conservatively, “Since I haven’t raised dairy cows and sheep before, let’s start with twenty cows and twenty sheep. I have the funds, and it’s okay to spend more to get the cows and sheep.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJiang Chuan reassured, “Rest assured, I’ll go to the county tomorrow and find you the fairest price.”
After Qin Ming left, Jiang Chuan pondered. In winter, his family hadn’t been idle, catching quite a bit of game in the mountains. Jiang Xia’s space should currently have ten mountain goats and five dairy cows. Qin Ming needed twenty cows, which might be hard to find. If he couldn’t gather enough, he could temporarily provide the ones from Jiang Xia’s space.
That evening, Jiang Chuan returned home and was surprised to see Jiang Gu coming back from school, “Why are you back today?”
Jiang Gu replied, “School’s on break.”
School had started early that year, and Jiang Gu only returned home once a week after going to school.
She was very smart and had excellent grades, learning quickly. Her teacher liked her and made her class president.
The school had a break as the corn was ripe, and adults were busy with the harvest, short on hands. The school allowed children to help their parents with the corn harvest, starting tomorrow.
Jiang Chuan then said, “Perfect. Tomorrow, you can go with Uncle Xiao Wu to catch fish.”
Jiang Gu was puzzled, “Catch fish? Don’t we have fish at home? Why go to the river?”
Jiang Chuan explained, “Not for our home, but to help Uncle Xiao Wu catch fish. He needs to catch a hundred fish to start his fish pond. You can understand animals’ speech, so you can definitely help him..”
