Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 575: Stubborn Brigade Cadre (2)

The brigade cadres and production team leaders spoke up one after another, and from what they said, everyone strongly supported raising chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits in the production team, but they were basically opposed to raising more pigs and sheep.

“You are talking about so much, but it’s nothing more than worrying about the two problems of pigs eating too much but not growing meat, and swine fever.

As for raising sheep, it was because I had no experience and was worried that I wouldn’t be able to raise them well.

If these problems can be solved, then you will not object to raising more pigs and sheep?" the team leader asked after listening to everyone's opinions.

"Captain, it's easy for you to say it. These problems are not that easy to solve," said Wang Qiang.

Without waiting for the captain to answer, Secretary Xu spoke first, "Don't be so confident.

Didn’t you say before that chicken plague is not so easy to solve? But now it has been solved by Xiaoxue.

You said before that you trusted Xiaoxue's pharmaceutical ability, why are you contradicting yourself now?

Since Xiaoxue can cure chicken plague, maybe she can soon find a way to cure swine plague and sheep plague."

Wang Qiang choked. Secretary Xu's ancestral home made it impossible for him to refute.

After a long while, he spoke hesitantly, "Even if Liu Zhiqing can solve the problem of swine fever, the biggest problem now is not the swine fever, but the fact that it doesn't grow meat just by eating that thing.

And there is a lot to eat.

The food we have for raising pigs is enough for us to raise many more chickens, ducks and geese."

“Let’s not talk about these for now, then why are you against raising sheep?

Don't worry about not having enough food. Those animals eat grass. Would you be reluctant to ask your children to go up the mountain to cut grass?

Anyway, when they have nothing to do, they go up the mountain every day, play around everywhere, and cause a lot of trouble.

It would be better to give them something to do to tie their hands and feet so that they don't get into trouble." Secretary Xu continued to ask.

"We are not worried about not having enough experience and not being able to raise the children well."

“Don’t tell me who has experience or doesn’t have experience. When you first started farming, didn’t you also learn experience? You will gain it after working with me for a while.

Besides, if I don’t have experience in raising sheep, do I have experience in raising cattle?

Both of these things eat grass, so their experiences are not interchangeable.

In my opinion, you are just lazy and don't want to bother." Secretary Xu concluded.

Those who claimed to be hardworking people were not happy when Secretary Xu pointed at them and called them lazy.

"Secretary Xu, you are wrong. We are not lazy.

If we could bring a little more money home, you would see that we would all work very hard.

But the problem is that you can't make much money from raising pigs. Not only do you have to put in food, but you also have to serve them like masters every day.

Wouldn't it be better if we could raise more chickens, ducks and geese?"

The captain, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "Xiaoxue has used this as a precedent in treating swine fever and sheep plague, so you don't seem to be too worried.

If we solve the problem of pigs not growing meat and the lack of experience in raising sheep, will you no longer oppose raising pigs and sheep?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Qiang, who had been the most opposed, spoke up.

"Just as the team leader said, with Liu Zhiqing as our backup, we are indeed not so afraid of swine fever and sheep plague.

As long as the two problems mentioned by the captain are solved, we have no objection to raising more pigs and sheep."

The captain nodded, "That's fine.

Then I can tell you clearly now that these two problems have been solved.”

"How is that possible, Captain, are you kidding me?"

"Why would I lie to you?

Have you forgotten that we got a batch of poultry before the winter and raised them at my house and Lao Xu's house respectively?"

Several people were choked. This really happened.

At that time, they just thought that Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing and others had shared most of the money, and the production team only spent a little money to send them away to avoid their entanglement, and they didn't take it seriously at all.

I hibernated for several months and didn't think about that matter at all. I almost forgot about it.

Accountant Li spoke cautiously, "Captain, from what you said, those poultry are well raised?"

“Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. Even if I say something fantastic, you won’t believe it.

You will know whether it is good or not when you see it with your own eyes."

The captain stood up and said, "Let's go to Old Xu's house first and see the ones he has, and then go to my house.

After reading it, come back here to discuss it.”

At Secretary Xu's house, after everyone had looked at the poultry that Secretary Xu's family had fostered, Wang Qiang looked at the two pigs and spoke again, as if he had received strong support.

"Captain, you saw it too.

These pigs have been raised for more than three months. I'm afraid that each pig eats more than two or three hundred kilograms of food, not to mention other things.

But look at their weight, they have gained more than 20 kilograms in more than three months.

The input and output are really mismatched.”

"Yes, Captain.

We have never raised sheep before, so I don’t know if the current size of the sheep is normal after being more than three months old.

But raising pigs is not cost-effective.”

The team leader was not in a hurry at all. If he didn't have his own poultry, when he saw the poultry raised by Old Xu, he would not have the idea of ​​vigorously promoting the breeding industry.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I just saw one.

Have you forgotten what we said before? The ones from Old Xu's family will be treated the same as before, and the ones from my family are Xiaoxue's research subjects.

If you have anything to say, wait until you have seen the ones I raise at home, then you can say it again."

"Let's go, don't waste time here, let's go to my house," said the captain, and walked out.

On the way to the captain's house, Kong Shuisheng approached Wang Qiang and said, "Looking at the captain's appearance, he seems very confident.

Have you ever been to the captain's house to see the poultry he raises?"

“I was all at home hibernating, and I didn’t think about it at all.

Seeing you guys like this, you didn’t go either?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Secretary Xu walked with the team leader.

"Are the pigs you raise really growing well, just as you said?" Secretary Xu asked the team leader.

"When did I ever lie to you?

You’ve been here before.”

"The last time I went to your house was over a month ago.

At that time, your family’s livestock was better than mine, but it shouldn’t be as exaggerated as you say, right?”

"Look, you don't believe what I told you, so what should I tell you?

Just walk a few more steps and you will reach my house. Why don't you come and see it for yourself?

I don't want to waste my breath on you."

The group arrived at the captain's house. The captain had left the door ajar before leaving home, so he reached out and pushed open the gate.

After leading everyone to clean the snow off their boots and bodies, the team leader pushed open the door, lifted the thick felt, and led everyone into the house.

As they walked into the house, they were hit by a wave of heat and everyone hurriedly took off their thick outer clothes.

Wu Sufen knew that everyone would come, so she was already waiting there.

"Everyone is here. I'll make tea for you."

Secretary Xu stopped her and said, "Sufen, stop busying yourself and take us to see the poultry you raise.

We will leave after we finish watching and will not delay you any longer."

Secretary Xu had already been intrigued by what the captain had said to him before, and he wanted to see the batch of poultry as soon as possible, so he had no time to waste on drinking tea.

Wu Sufen smiled knowingly and did not refuse, "Okay, I'll take you there right away."
