    The threerge trucks transported more than 50 cowboys over, causing the vigers of Stoneback Vige to join in the fun.


    “I heard from Shi Lichun’s family that they know how to raise cows. 1 thought they were raising a few big cows. I didn’t expect them to be little calves.”


    “These calves look like they just left the fence, right?”


    “I think they just got out.”


    “Why are there patterns on these calves? They don’t look like the cows and buffaloes we’ve seen before.”


    “Why do these little cows look so much like those in the advertisements on television?”


    “Cow? Could it be that Gu Qingming is nning to raise cows?”


    “This can’t be, right? Raising cows and letting them live freely?”


    “No, why did their family buy such small calves? How long are they going to raise it?”


    “Do they raise these cows for their meat or milk?”


    “That should be for their meat, right? Beef is so expensive now. It’s thirty to forty dors a catty. After these calves are raised, they can reach one to two thousand yuan. They can earn twenty to thirty thousand dors per cow. Even after deducting the cost, one cow can at least reach three to four thousand dors. More than fifty cows can make a profit of one to two hundred thousand dors. In that case, 1 want to raise cows. This is much better than farming.”


    “Although you have such thoughts, you have to have the capital first. Don’t think that these are just little calves. 1 heard that they cost at least three to four thousand dors each. The cost of more than 50 calves is nearly 200,000 dors. Coupled with the ces and nutrients needed to raise cows and thebor costs, the costs are exorbitant. Gu Qingming asked her uncle, Shi Lichun, to contract these mountains. The rent for three years is a few million dors.”


    “In that case, the cost of raising cows is indeed very high. However, speaking of which, how rich is the Gu family? Every time this money is spent, it’s millions. This Gu Qingming’s investment in our Stoneback Vige has reached more than ten million. Can she earn money with so many things?”


    For rural farmers, farming is not profitable.


    Even if one could earn money, it wouldn’t be much.


    Just like nting rice, an ordinary acre produced more than 1,200 catties, a hundred catties of rice was more than 100 dors, and an acre ofnd produced less than 2,000 dors.


    There were also peanuts. They only produced 500 to 600 catties per acre. One catty of peanuts was only two to three dors. One acre ofnd was up to two thousand dors.


    Even if they extract peanut oil, an acre ofnd would only yield about 100 catties of peanut oil. The price in the countryside was 20 dors per catty. In that case, it was more money, two to three thousand dors.


    There were also vegetables. The price of selling them from the fields was not high at all.


    In short, it was not a problem for farmers to maintain their livelihood, but it was simply a dream to make a fortune by farming!


    However, the vigers of Stoneback Vige really could not understand if Gu Qingming had so much money that she had nowhere to spend it and was investing in all kinds of things.


    The harvest hadn’t even started, but the cost had already fallen by tens of millions.


    Therefore, when would he be able to earn tens of millions of yuan with these 200 acres ofnd?


    The vigers simply couldn’t imagine it.


    Of course, these vigers’ eyesight limited their horizons.


    They didn’t know that money was just a number in the families of those rich and powerful people outside.


    What they pursued was enjoyment and health!


    Gu Qingming was now seizing the mentality of the rich and powerful to pursue high-end sales.


    As for how much these 200 acres ofnd could be sold for, well, it was still unknown, but Gu Qingming knew very well that it would definitely be profitable.


    Many vigers watched themotion for a while before leaving.


    After all, how many people in the countryside were idle?


    After watching the liveliness, they naturally left to work.


    Of course, there were still some older vigers and children who stayed behind to join in the fun.


    “Shi Lichun, would you be hiring? What do you think of me? My legs are very nimble, and I’ve raised cows before. I’ll definitely raise these cows well and take good care of them!”


    “Sixth Uncle,” Shi Lichun said helplessly, “You’re old. You should retire and rest.”


    However, Sixth Uncle Shi said, “What do you mean I’m old? 1 can walk and run. It’s so boring to stay here all day. 1 just want to find a job.”


    Shi Lichun said, “I’m sorry, Sixth Uncle. Our family has already found a cowherd.”


    “Who is it?” Sixth Uncle Shi was a little curious, but then he reacted and asked with a slightly ugly expression, “Lichun, did you hire him long ago?”


    At this moment, there was no need for Shi Lichun to hide anything.


    He said, “Well, we’ve already found someone. And in order to raise cows better, we sent him to the livestock station for some training.”


    Sixth Uncle Shi and the vigers were speechless.


    Therefore, they were even more curious. Who exactly was it? Who had taken such a huge advantage of the Shi family?


    Just going to the livestock training station was enviable.


    If he studied well, he could be a technician. This role was very popr.


    Uncle Shi Li raised his hand and asked, “Alright, then tell me frankly, who did you hire?”


    He wondered who had the manpower to do so.


    Shi Lichun said, “It’s Shi Xiaojin!”


    Hearing this name, the vigers, including Sixth Uncle Shi, immediately fell silent.


    Anyone with a conscience would never snatch his job.


    Why?


    Because his family was the most miserable family in the vige.


    Shi Xiaojin had just turned 18 years old this year. He was an adult and could go out to work.


    But he couldn’t do so because he still had a blind Grandma to take care of.


    Fifteen years ago, Shi Xiaojin’s grandfather and parents passed away one after another. Shi Xiaojin’s grandma, who had suffered a serious blow and was heartbroken, cried until she went blind.


    If not for the fact that she still had a grandson to take care of, Shi Xiaojin’s grandma would have probably followed her son and daughter-inw to their graves after they passed away.


    The two depended on each other and lived a hard life.


    The children of poor families had to take care of themselves early! Shi Xiaojin had been sensible since he was young. He had been helping Grandma do whatever he could since he was young.


    After Shi Xiajin’s grandma cried until she was blind, she no longer had the ability to earn money. She relied on her rtives, friends, and fellow vigers.


    When Shi Xiaojin was five or six years old, he would pick up abandoned goods to sell, go to the fields, and go to the mountains to pick herbs to sell.


    Even if he tried his best, the money he earned was just a drop in the bucket.


    However, Shi Xiaojin was an optimistic child. Even though he could not earn much by picking up trash and selling abandoned goods and herbs, he could at least add a piece of candy for himself every time. As for the rest of the money, he would buy some oil, salt, firewood, rice, and so on.


    The vigers pitied the two of them. Sometimes, when the farmers were busy hiring people to work, they would ask Shi Xiaojin to go and count it as half an adult’s money.


    For example, when cutting rice, the rice grains would be piled together and then beaten out by the threshing machine. Children could do the work of stacking the rice grains.


    Although Shi Xiaojin was the youngest in the field, he was the most diligent.


    Other people would carry five or six batches, while he would carry a small one. However, he never cked off and worked hard.


    Therefore, the vigers liked him very much..
