After returning from Xipo, Zhou Yang was in a great mood!
It is indeed great news that the main project on Qiao Weiguo's side has been completed so quickly.
This will not only put the No. 0 Project Department completely on the right track, but it will also be crucial for Zhou Yang to adjust the overall layout of Babaoliang Village.
At present, almost everyone feels that the situation in the village is a bit chaotic. My father-in-law, Wang Ping, Zhang Genwang, Cui Jinjin and others have expressed similar views, and Zhou Yang himself understands it deeply.
The reason is largely because there are too few houses in the village!
Laboratories, research institutes, educated youth centers, and pig farms are all mixed together. With so many people crowded together, how can it not be chaotic?
Moreover, the gathering of these people together not only affects each other's work, but is also detrimental to safety and security.
Now that the research institute on Xipo is completed, not only the No. 0 Project Department will move out of the village, but the laboratory of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry School will also move out.
In this way, the original laboratory will be completely vacated.
Zhou Yang plans to remove the original educated youth center in the village and merge all the educated youth into the laboratory to facilitate management.
The vacant house on the pig farm will be converted into a veterinary station. Anyway, the dormitory and the warehouse behind it have been renovated. All it takes is to transfer the team of teachers and students from the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry School to build the veterinary station.
In this way, the functional layout of Babaoliang Village will not be as messy as it is now!
When new schools, feed mills, chicken farms, sheep pens, etc. are built and put into use, the appearance of the village will be very different in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt more and more relaxed!
As soon as he returned to the village, Zhou Yang saw many people walking towards the east end of the village.
After asking, I found out that the meeting at the brigade headquarters had ended, and people from other production teams were going to the horse farm to pick up mules and horses.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang also became interested and immediately rushed over with Liu Yunlong.
When the two of them arrived at the racecourse, they saw that the place was already surrounded by people, including people from their own village and from other villages, a total of three to four hundred people.
Babaoliang Village bought a total of more than 300 mules and horses from the herd last year. After half a year of feeding, these mules and horses have not only grown a lot, but also given birth to fifty or sixty ponies and horses to the village. Little mule.
However, large livestock such as mules and horses are not suitable for breeding in purely agricultural areas like Babaoliang Village.
Therefore, after discussion, the village decided to get rid of all these large animals that were not suitable for pulling carts and were not pregnant.
Before being sold to the meat factory, the production team in a nearby village must select it!
The racecourse is surrounded by wooden fences made by members of the commune. The outside is also built high with dirt, but the inside is dug about one meter deep. Overall, it is equivalent to an uncapped semi-basement.
At this time, a few strong men and a few old masters who knew how to handle mules and horses were watching horses inside!
The young man is responsible for catching the horse with the rope, and the old master is responsible for watching.
If you think it's appropriate, let someone put on the halter and reins and pull him out of the racecourse, and it's considered a purchase.
These days, mules, horses and cattle are extremely important labor forces, and their importance is even greater than that of ordinary people. This can be seen from this transaction.
Generally speaking, when buying things between various production teams, they rarely pay directly, and the settlement is often not done until the autumn. This is a custom and tacit understanding formed between each other.
On the contrary, if these mules and horses are sold to the meat factory, they can get money on the same day.
However, once these large livestock enter the meat factory, they will be slaughtered quickly, so most people are not willing to see large livestock such as cattle, mules and horses sold to the meat factory.
They would rather get the money later than give these big animals a way to survive.
Of course, this only applies to large livestock such as cattle, mules, horses, and donkeys. This does not apply to pigs, chickens, and sheep.
From this point of view, people’s hearts are quite complicated!
Since spring plowing is about to begin, various production teams have a relatively high demand for these large livestock.
In addition, the mules and horses raised in Babaoliang Village are purebred Mongolian horses bought from pastoral areas, as well as horses and mules born from Mongolian horses. They are relatively docile and hardworking, making them good for riding and working. Variety, very popular!
Soon, those who looked stronger, or whose bellies were obviously pregnant, were chosen first.
After a while, more than 130 horses and mules were pulled out of the horse farm, and the huge horse farm was suddenly reduced by less than half.
After picking up mules and horses, other members of the production team rushed to the cattle pen not far away, where they still had to select cattle.
Zhou Yang didn't go with them this time. He couldn't get involved in this kind of thing anyway, so he would leave it to Wang Ping and the others.
Thinking that Mr. Guo and the others were working hard on his design in the project department these days, Zhou Yang immediately decided to give them some guidance, and then took Liu Yunlong back to the pig farm.
Just when he returned to the pig farm, Zhou Yang saw a row of dirty trucks parked at the door.
Seeing these cars, Zhou Yang knew that it was people from the meat factory who came to bring in pigs. The strong smell of pig manure on the cars could be smelled from a long distance.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the yard of the pig farm, they saw many commune members and educated youth surrounding the pig house.
But for some reason, they didn’t load the car!
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be done as early as possible. After all, when you go to the meat factory, you still have to slaughter, weigh, settle accounts, etc. If you act too late, you don’t know how long you will be busy.
As soon as Zhou Yang came in from outside, his fourth brother Li Guoqiang saw him from a distance and called him over immediately.
When he arrived, Zhou Yang realized that the reason why these people did not take action was mainly because they were waiting for Accountant Liang.
After all, after the pigs are loaded onto the truck, the villagers will follow them to the meat factory.
He also has to be responsible for settling the money and pulling back all the unnecessary scumbags from the meat factory!
But ordinary people can't do this kind of thing, they can only wait for the accountant Liang Feng to come.
During the conversation, many people mentioned Yan Gengdong. Yan Gengdong must have followed this kind of thing before.
It's a pity that Yan Gengdong has left, and the newly appointed farm director Yang Xiulan is good at raising pigs, but she has no culture, so she can't be relied on to sell pigs.
However, Zhou Yang just saw that Liang Feng was keeping accounts at the racecourse. He should be going to the cattle pen now, and he would definitely not be able to get there for a while.
But it doesn't matter if these people just wait, they have to take action first.
Zhou Yang happened to see Cui Jinjin, Bai Yang and Xu Siping there. Several of them had read books, and some even went to high school, which was considered a high degree of education these days.
Immediately, Zhou Yang asked them to take charge of accounting, and asked Fourth Brother and others to seize the time to load the truck.
Just take Liang Feng with you when you leave. There is no need to wait for him to arrive before loading the car!
Li Guoqiang thought that this was what happened, and immediately told everyone to do as Zhou Yang said and load the car quickly.
At this time, Zhou Yang remembered something again!
He asked the fourth brother to be careful when loading the truck, not to sell all the pigs, but to pick some that are not too big and leave forty or fifty pigs for the village.
First of all, the Dragon Boat Festival will be celebrated in more than a month. This is a festival that the villagers take very seriously, and the spring plowing is also over by that time. It is necessary to kill a few pigs to celebrate and improve the food for the educated youth members. .
Secondly, the project department also needs to eat meat. Instead of paying high prices to buy meat from the supply and marketing cooperative, just buy it directly from the village.
After listening to Zhou Yang's explanation, Li Guoqiang naturally had no objection, and immediately informed him, asking everyone to catch the fat ones, and keep the smaller ones to feed them for a while.
Following Li Guoqiang's order, dozens of educated youth members immediately jumped into the pig pen and got busy.
For a time, the entire pig farm was filled with the miserable screams of Landrace pigs!
Looking at the messy scene, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shook his head, and then prepared to go to the warehouse behind.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard someone calling his name from behind!
Turning around, I found that it was Uzhina.
He saw her running toward him with an anxious look on her face, calling his name as she ran!
