The two of them walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the pig farm.
At this time, Yan Gengdong was busy with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village. Some were feeding the pigs, while others were cleaning up the pig manure. They looked very busy.
Seeing Zhou Yang and Qin Xueyi approaching, Yan Gengdong immediately put down the shovel in his hand and came over.
"Brother Yan has been busy since he came back?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
Yan Gengdong also smiled and said: "It's impossible not to do it. There are more than 600 pigs. These people alone can't keep busy!"
"Then we didn't ask the production team to mobilize more manpower. The autumn harvest is over anyway?" Zhou Yang said.
"No, although the crops in the fields have been recovered, everyone is still very busy. Let's wait a few days!"
"Um!"
At this time, Qin Xueyi took over the conversation and said: "I called you here today mainly to talk to you about the situation of the pig farm!"
"What's going on, tell me, Teacher Qin!" Zhou Yang said.
"First of all, it's time for those black pigs to be put out!"
Zhou Yang was stunned at first, and then asked with some joy: "Oh, this is good news!"
"Well, actually, they reached the weight target half a month ago, but I wanted to see how their growth rate would be later, so I just had to wait!"
Then Qin Xueyi continued: "But after half a month of observation, I found that the growth rate of black pigs has dropped significantly, and they eat much more feed than before. It is not economical to continue raising them!"
Zhou Yang nodded, and then asked: "Since it's not cost-effective, then sell it!"
Then he asked Yan Gengdong: "Brother Yan, how many black pigs are there now?"
"48 heads!"
"Well, I'll go back and discuss with the rest of the team. Let the meat factory come directly or send them to us. Let's get rid of these black pigs as soon as possible!" Zhou Yang said.
At this time, Qin Xueyi continued: "In addition to the black-haired pigs, you also have to prepare early for the Landrace pigs!"
"What preparations?"
"In the past two and a half months, these piglets have grown to more than 100 kilograms. It will take another two and a half months at most to reach the standard for slaughter. At this time, we have to consider keeping the sows, and secondly, we have to consider breeding pigs. ."
"Teacher Qin, how many sows do you think is appropriate for our pig farm?" Zhou Yang asked.
"At least a hundred!"
"so much?"
"Given the size of your pig farm, one hundred pigs is not too many, or even a little less!" Qin Xueyi said.
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "Mr. Qin, you are a professional in this area. It is up to you to decide how much and which end to leave. We will cooperate fully!"
"Well, besides, you have to prepare the next batch of piglets!"
Then Qin Xueyi continued: "This batch of piglets will be released almost exactly during the Chinese New Year, and the sows left behind will not be able to give birth in a short period of time, so you need to solve the problem of piglets as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "I have to trouble your College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry about this little piglet. Apart from your place, there are no such Landrace pigs anywhere else!"
"Haha, there is no shortage of piglets in the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. We have cooperation with the Provincial Breeding Farm, but this time we may not be able to give them to you for free!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "We spend money, but Teacher Qin has to negotiate with Dean Kang for the price. It can't be too expensive!"
"Of course this is no problem!"
A few people walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the pig pen.
Seeing someone coming, the pigs in the pigsty all grunted, and from time to time they looked up at the two-legged beasts outside with curious expressions on their faces.
Zhou Yang saw that the pigs in the pig pen had grown quite a lot. Although he couldn't tell how much they weighed, in terms of size, they were five or six times larger than when they were brought back.
Although Zhou Yang didn't know much about raising pigs, he knew that the pigs were growing well. If there were no diseases, they would be considered well-raised.
With these pigs, even if the production team does not sell love food this year, the income of the members is guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt full of accomplishment!
...
After coming out of the pig farm, Zhou Yang went to take a look at the nearby biogas tank.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Yang Wenguang leading a dozen members to build a new biogas pool.
Compared with the two pools he led the team to build before, the one built now is larger.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming, Yang Wenguang immediately handed the drawing in his hand to Bai Yang, and then walked towards Zhou Yang.
"Brother Yang, thank you for your hard work!"
Yang Wenguang smiled and said: "Fortunately, compared to our Dongquan Farm, this is nothing but hardship!"
"The farm is fine now. When I went to the city this time, I met a cadre from the political and legal system. He had just inspected our Dongquan Farm and was very touched!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "He said that although our farm has also had a poor harvest this year, the rations are enough. In addition, several of our brick kilns have been completed and put into operation. Now the entire farm is rushing to build brick houses. This year everyone You guys don’t have to live in shacks anymore!”
Hearing this, Yang Wenguang said with some excitement: "That's really great. You don't know. Every winter is really hard for us. Every now and then, someone can't stand it and dies. That's the case in my family." It didn’t happen in the winter three years ago..."
Zhou Yang patted Yang Wenguang on the shoulder and said, "It will get better in the future!"
"Well, thank you Zhou Yang. If it weren't for you, we might have..."
"Brother Yang, don't say that. I'm not just doing this for you, but mainly because my parents also live on the farm!" Zhou Yang said.
"Speaking of your parents, them?"
"They were transferred to the fertilizer factory. Where will they go to work from now on?" Zhou Yang said.
"It's better to leave than to stay on the farm without any hope!" Yang Wenguang said with some envy.
"Brother Yang, you don't have to envy them. I have already made suggestions to the city and hope that you people can be reactivated..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yang Wenguang grabbing Zhou Yang's arm with some excitement and asking in a trembling voice: "Then... what do the city leaders say? Do you agree?"
"Both Director Huang and Deputy Director Wang have no objections. They accepted my suggestion. However, it should be noted that using you is only to play your role based on your professional expertise. It is not an overturning of your past affairs. The city also I don’t have this ability!” Zhou Yang said.
"That's great. If this happens, the people at Dongquan Farm will be grateful to you for the rest of their lives!" Yang Wenguang said.
"That's not necessary. I'm not helping anyone to make anyone appreciate me, just because I think it's the right thing to do!" Zhou Yang said.
Regarding this matter, Zhou Yang also proposed it after careful consideration.
You must know that starting from next year, people like Lin Yi, Yang Wenguang and Yan Gengdong will gradually return to their original jobs. At this time, helping these people will not be risky for those in the city, but the rewards will be high. But it's huge.
By doing this, Zhou Yang can not only help Lin Yi and others, but also build a good relationship with these people, killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, aside from these, the main reason is that he feels that it is a waste of resources to throw these scientific researchers into a place where birds do not poop.
After the focus of the country's work gradually shifts to economic construction, these people should shine in the entire construction wave, rather than being thrown into the corner to wait for death.
"Brother Yang, I have recommended you and Brother Lin to the city. As expected, the transfer order will be issued to Dongquan Farm in a while. You must prepare early!"
"Really, thank you so much...I..."
"Without thanking you, I would like to ask, when will these biogas digesters be built?"
"The two ones to the north of the village and next to the creek bend have been completed. Only the big one here is left. It's almost three days away!"
"Okay, I'll ask Director Yang to help get the generator back as soon as possible!"
"OK!"
