Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

Zhou Ziwen knows something about the pig farm in the village.

There are a total of twenty-two pigs in the pig farm, and they have always been taken care of by Grandpa Yang.

Of course, it's just taking care of the pigs. Things like cutting grass for the pigs, feeding them, and cleaning the pigsty are all done by the village members.

Of course, these tasks are now being done by Jiang Xiaohong and others.

As soon as Zhou Ziwen returned home, Jiang Xiaohong and some of her friends came running over.

"Comrade Ziwen, have you asked the team leader for us?" Jiang Xiaohong asked anxiously.

Zhou Ziwen looked at them and shook his head helplessly. "I asked, but the team leader disagreed. He said that you must work in the pig farm for a month. This is a punishment for you to make you realize your mistakes."

When Jiang Xiaohong and the other educated youth heard this, a look of despair immediately appeared on their faces.

"Comrade Ziwen, we really know we are wrong. Please help us beg the captain again." An educated youth pleaded.

"Yes, Comrade Ziwen, we won't dare to do it again. The work in the pig farm is too dirty and too tiring." Another educated youth followed suit.

Zhou Ziwen sighed, "You all know the captain's temper. It's hard to change his decision. Just accept the punishment. This is also a lesson for you. Don't make such a mistake again in the future."

After hearing what Zhou Ziwen said, Jiang Xiaohong and the others realized that it was useless to beg any further, so they had to leave dejectedly.

Looking at their miserable appearance, Zhou Ziwen shook his head.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place!
They are adults too and are responsible for what they do.

……

In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen waited for news from Professor Liu.

Professor Liu did not disappoint his expectations.

After leaving Dabazi Village, Professor Liu put down what he was doing and hurried back to the college to discuss cooperation with Dabazi Village with the college leaders.

He introduced in detail the basic situation of Dabazi Village and Zhou Ziwen's successful experience in mushroom cultivation, and emphasized Dabazi Village's ability to accept new technologies and its potential for promotion.

After listening to Professor Liu’s report, the leaders of the college showed great interest in this cooperative project.

They believe that if they can successfully promote the Landrace pig to Dabazi Village and achieve good breeding results, it will be a huge breakthrough for the college's scientific research and promotion work.

After some discussion, the college leaders finally agreed to Professor Liu's proposal and decided to cooperate with Dabazi Village to provide Landrace piglets and technical guidance.

They believe that with a capable person like Zhou Ziwen, this cooperative project has a great chance of success.

After receiving support from the college, Professor Liu immediately rushed back to Dabazi Village to tell them the good news.

"Ziwen, good news! The college leaders have agreed to our cooperation plan!"

Zhou Ziwen's eyes lit up when he heard the news. He quickly stood up and asked excitedly, "Really? Professor Liu, that's great! Does the college have any specific requirements and support measures?"

Professor Liu nodded, took out a document from his bag, handed it to Zhou Ziwen, and said, "This is the cooperation plan proposed by the college, including the number of Landrace piglets to be provided, the specific content of technical guidance, and some cooperation work we hope Dabazi Village can do."

Zhou Ziwen took the document and read it carefully.

Wu Dagang and the team leader also came over to check the contents of the file together.

The document lists in detail the 50 Landrace piglets that the college will provide, and that professional technicians will be sent to Dabazi Village on a regular basis to provide technical guidance.

At the same time, the college also promised to provide some necessary vaccines and veterinary drugs to ensure the health of piglets during the breeding process.

As the other party of the cooperation, Dabazi Village needs to provide a suitable breeding site and be responsible for daily breeding management.

After reading the document, Zhou Ziwen frowned.

"The college leaders took into account that you have no experience in raising Landrace pigs, so they will first provide 50 piglets as a pilot. If this pilot is successful, we can increase the supply quantity and expand the scale of cooperation later," explained Professor Liu.

"Fifty is fifty!" Zhou Ziwen nodded to show his understanding.

On the side, Wu Dagang and the captain looked delighted.

It is no wonder that they are so happy. After all, these piglets are given for free, and people will be sent to provide guidance. All they need to do is provide the site and raise the pigs under the guidance of the researchers.

Of course, raising pigs is not that simple. For example, the cost of space, feed, etc. are considerable expenses.

But the piglets don't want money, which is still very happy.

"Professor Liu, when can we get the piglets?" Zhou Ziwen asked.

"We can deliver it at any time. Now it's up to you. I remember you said that your pig farm is not very big and needs to be expanded, right?" Professor Liu asked.

"Yes, Professor Liu. Our original pig farm was small in scale and needed to be replanned and expanded to meet the breeding needs of Landrace pigs." Zhou Ziwen replied.

"So how long will it take you to complete the expansion?" Professor Liu asked.

Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment and said, "If the villagers work together, the basic expansion work can be completed in about a week."

"A week is not a long time." Professor Liu nodded, "Then you should arrange the expansion as soon as possible. Once the pig farm is expanded, we will send the piglets over."

"Okay, Professor Liu. We'll arrange it right away," said the captain.

After Professor Liu left, Zhou Ziwen, Wu Dagang and the team leader returned to the village committee office and held a small meeting there.

"Ziwen, how big are you planning to build the pig farm here?" Wu Dagang asked.

"I think we can build a bigger one. The 50 pigs this time are just a pilot project. Once they are fully grown, we will definitely expand the scale."

As for whether he could develop it, Zhou Ziwen never worried about it.

His breeding skills have reached level four, and he is still idle.

As time goes by, his farming skill level will only get higher and higher.

"So what do you mean?" Wu Dagang and the captain looked at Zhou Ziwen together.

"I think if we are going to build one, we should build it bigger, to accommodate 500 pigs first! If the scale gets bigger in the future, it won't be too late to expand it later."

Zhou Ziwen thought about it and then said.

To be honest, five hundred pigs were just his initial goal.

Once the villagers have learned the breeding techniques of Landrace pigs, we can continue to expand.

But by that time, he would probably have to go back to the city.

Whether the scale of the pig farm should be expanded in the future is up to Wu Dagang and the team leader.

He helped the production team build the pig farm, which was a great honor for Wu Dagang and the team leader. (End of this chapter)
