Chapter 574: Stubborn Brigade Cadre (1)
After listening to the captain's thoughts, Wu Sufen said, "Since you have already made up your mind, why are you still hesitating? Just make up your mind and do it."
The captain sighed, "I am not the only one who has the final say in the team, I still have to discuss it with others.
They were all against it before, and I was worried that I couldn’t convince them.”
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Don't we have the same concerns as everyone else? Didn't we both disagree with this before?
It's not that the situation has changed, our two thoughts have changed, and maybe other people's thoughts have changed as well.
You know how much the people in our production team want to get some money, and they can't possibly go against money.
You haven't even tried it, so why are you worried about not being able to convince others? "
"If you are really worried that you can't convince them, bring them to our house and let them see the results of our three-month feeding of these poultry according to Xiaoxue's method.
After visiting our house, take them to visit Xu’s house.
With such an obvious contrast and these vivid examples before them, I don't believe they would not be tempted.
I'll be there to give you some encouragement, and I'll make sure this thing works."
The team leader thought about it and realized that everyone was already aware of the effectiveness of the chicken plague medicine. After looking at their own poultry, they might actually change their minds.
If we vigorously develop breeding in the production team, maybe it will be successful.
"Then I will go find them tomorrow, take them home, and also visit Old Xu's family.
I went to see the poultry he raises the day before yesterday. The pigs are less than 50 kilograms, and the chickens, ducks and geese are not even half the size of us.
If I had not been there when these poultry were brought back, I would never have believed it if someone had told me that they were from the same batch. "
After hearing what the captain said, Wu Sufen became a little worried, "Do other people know that our two families are from the same group?
If they say we are cheating, there is no way to convince them."
"Don't worry. We went to various production teams to get the cubs. They were present to witness the distribution of the cubs to the two families."
Wu Sufen laughed when she heard this, "Then they will probably be shocked when they see our house tomorrow.
Fortunately, the pigs we raised before have already been handed in as mission pigs, so we only have a few chickens, which we haven’t raised together with this batch of animals.
Otherwise they will think we are fooling them with the ones we raised at home."
"Stop talking, let's go to bed.
Tomorrow morning, I will go find the others, tell them about this, and bring them home to see it."
The next morning, the captain finished his breakfast, put down his bowl, and went out early.
He first went to the brigade headquarters to burn the firewall in his office, and then lit the stove.
I'll call people over for a meeting later. If we don't raise the temperature, they'll freeze to death.
After a while, after confirming that the temperature was rising, the captain went out to look for other people.
More than half an hour later, several brigade cadres and team leaders finally gathered in the brigade commander's office.
"Captain, it's only February now, it's too early to thaw and resume work. Why are you gathering us together instead of staying at home for the winter?"
"Yes, Captain, it's still early and there's nothing to do. What kind of skills do we need to have?"
The team leader didn't keep the secret, "Many families in our production team had chickens, ducks and geese that were infected with fowl plague, and Xiaoxue's medicine cured them. Did you know about this?"
"I know. How could I not know? My family went to your house to get medicine and was cured."
“Although my family didn’t get chicken plague, the chickens of Old Yang’s family next door were cured by Liu Zhiqing’s medicine.”
"My second uncle's chickens were also infected with fowl plague, and Liu Zhiqing's medicine also cured them."
The village cadres started talking one after another.
"So, do you trust Xiaoxue's ability to make medicine for chicken plague now?"
"I can trust it, how can I not trust it?
The medicines that Liu Zhiqing made before cured so many people in our village. We have always believed in her abilities.
I just didn’t expect that her medicine is effective in treating human diseases, and it is also effective in treating these animals.”
"So you don't have any ideas?" asked the captain.
"What do you think, Captain? If you have something to say, just say it. You know our personalities.
But you can’t do those roundabout things.”
The team leader was the first to go find Secretary Xu. The two of them had already communicated with each other and reached a consensus.
With the support of his old partner, the captain did not continue to beat around the bush and directly expressed his ideas.
After hearing what the captain said, several people started discussing in low voices.
The captain did not urge them. He just sat there smoking his pipe and waiting for everyone's response.
"Captain, we have no objection to your suggestion to raise chickens, ducks and geese in the production team.
After all, there is now a way to cure chicken plague, so raising more chickens, ducks and geese will make money whether you sell meat or eggs.
We have no objection to raising rabbits. Just as you said, we just need to go to the mountains to find some breeding rabbits and feed them grass. It doesn't cost any money.
But there is no need to raise pigs and sheep.
Even if we need to get some pigs and sheep to prepare for Liu Zhiqing's research, there are task pigs raised by various households, so she can just use those for research.
As for the sheep, the ones raised by your family and Secretary Xu's family will be enough for Liu Zhiqing to do his research.
Our production team should concentrate all its efforts on raising chickens, ducks and geese."
"Yes, Captain, if Liu Zhiqing wants to do research, a few will be enough, there's no need to feed them lavishly.
The pig won't grow meat just by eating. If it is fed for a year, the amount of food it eats will only be enough to meet the task of fulfilling the mission.
If we want to eat pork, we can just go to the mountains and hunt wild boars.
As for the city people, they can just sell their chickens, ducks, geese, and chicken, duck, and goose eggs, and they can make money from that.”
“You don’t want to raise pigs because pigs don’t grow meat if they only eat, and you’re worried about swine fever and losing all your money.
Then why don't you want to raise sheep?" the captain asked curiously.
“We have never raised that creature before, so we have no experience and are worried that we won’t be able to raise it well.
Besides, didn’t you just say there was sheep plague?”
Secretary Xu said, "Wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pork. If our team raises more pigs, we can also eat domestic pork."
“Raising pigs is so pointless. All year round, you only get 100 kilograms of pigs. If you take away the bones and blood, how much is left?
And we have to put in so much food and spend so much effort.
In comparison, it is more cost-effective to raise chickens, ducks and geese.
It would be better to use all that food and effort to raise chickens, ducks and geese, which would bring much more benefits than raising pigs."
"Yes, Captain.
Now that we have the medicine to treat fowl plague, we don’t have to worry about anything. We might as well go for it and raise more chickens, ducks and geese in the production team.
The policy does not allow us to raise more pigs privately, but if we raise more in the name of the production team, they will have nothing to say.
Besides, there is a policy from above that allows our production team to develop more side businesses.
It’s just that we haven’t found any good projects so we have ignored it.
We can start working now, and maybe our production team will be praised by the higher-ups and given another tractor quota."
