1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 194 Is this snow following us?

Watching the truck drive out of the gate.

Zhang Zhenhua looked at the rear of the truck in the distance with a complicated expression.

It has been more than a month since I came to Blue Water Field.

During this period, I went from initially understanding the surface to truly getting to know the core of the blue water field.

He found that the Blue Water Farm was completely different from some of the farms under their Longshan Farm.

The new breed of livestock was actually bred by the farm manager himself.

At first, he couldn't believe it was true.

Because on the first day he met Su Wenchen, he felt that Su Wenchen was a leader like the director of their animal husbandry department.

He is the kind of leader who is a good person but does not understand breeding techniques and can only set development goals.

Especially after seeing the meeting minutes in the field for the first time.

He became even more certain of his judgment.

Because anyone who understands breeding and poultry farming will not let a security chief be in charge.

Of course, he had seen many more outrageous things at Longshan Farm, so he was not that surprised by this incident.

But when he sees something like this, as a deputy he must definitely give a warning and try his best to stop it.

Although his idea was not carried out in the end, he achieved his goal by freeing up the technical staff to continue researching new breeds of chickens.

Even when he first heard Su Wenchen say that he wanted to compete with him, he thought Su Wenchen was joking with him.

After all, how could such a thing be cultivated by just a few people?

If this succeeds, it will really just be luck.

But after learning about it for a month, Zhang Zhenhua found out that he was wrong.

There are really geniuses in this world.

There are people who can really tell the diseases in chickens and pigs at a glance.

In his opinion, Su Wenchen is simply a miracle doctor in the livestock industry. If he knew how to treat patients, he would have suggested that Su Wenchen change his career.

So at this moment, looking at Su Wenchen who had already set off, he felt mixed emotions.

He hopes that Su Wenchen can succeed in breeding and really produce a breed of pigs that can be slaughtered in half a year.

But if the other party really succeeds, he will feel bad too.

Because he has the support of the entire technical team in the field. If he is completely crushed without anyone to stop him, he will be embarrassed.

So at this time, he actually hoped that Deputy Director Han Yang on the other side would come out and disrupt the situation.

This way, even if he loses in the end, he can give himself an explanation in his heart.

But this guy seemed to be crazy. He was so aggressive towards him on the first day.

As a result, the director was about to leave. He was in charge of daily work and held great power. Normally, even if the other party didn't deliberately make things difficult for him, he wouldn't be too supportive. After all, it was obvious that the other party was on the director's side.

But on the contrary, the other party is more supportive of whatever he wants.

We collected various breeds of chickens, and the other party expressed their support without hesitation and did not do anything tricky.

So he was a little confused about the Blue Water Field.

Why are all leaders so weird? When he was at Longshan Farm, everyone said he was weird, but now it seems that he is relatively normal!

Of course, this is only what Zhang Zhenhua himself thinks.

To the old employees of the Blue Water Field, the three field leaders are all rather weird.

Among them, Director Su is usually quite normal, but he often acts on his own accord and does things that are incomprehensible to others.

Deputy Director Han looks normal, but he often turns himself into a clown, and his expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book. Many people have discussed privately that Deputy Director Han must have learned how to change faces in his previous life, as his expression changes so quickly that it's outrageous.

As for the new deputy director Zhang, who treated himself as a laborer, he left the employees even more confused.

It’s not that they haven’t seen leaders who work hard before, but this is the first time they have seen a leader who works harder and longer than any of the employees.

Some people even wondered if this leader was planning to do all the work himself.

When the time comes, just lay them off!
Otherwise, how could a leader work so hard?
On the other hand, Su Wenchen, who had left Lan City, had no idea about Zhang Zhenhua’s complicated thoughts.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he might not understand poultry, but the other party definitely didn't understand the golden finger.

After driving a few days away from Lan City, the road became bumpy.

The transport truck began to shake on the bumpy gravel road.

The roar of the diesel engine, mixed with the vibration of the car, made the red silk cloth on the rearview mirror tremble.

Zhao Weiguo glanced out the window, held the steering wheel with one hand and rolled down the window a little with the other hand, and instantly a gust of cold wind blew in.

Looking at the snowflakes floating down from the sky outside.

He spat out of the car.

"What a damn weather! We've been waiting for so many days and it hasn't snowed yet it snowed just a few days after we set out on the road."

"Captain, what should we do? We can't drive fast in the snow, and we may not be able to reach Liuhe County at night!"

"Besides, it's risky to spend the night in the wild when it's snowing!"

"If it snows too hard tonight and we can't move tomorrow, will the pig be able to survive if we get stuck on the road?"

As he said this, he turned around and glanced at Su Wenchen who was silent.

At this time, Su Wenchen was looking at the "National Highway Operation Route Mileage Map" in his hand with a frown, while looking at the regional map in the other hand.

The map has yellowed fonts that read "Overview of East China Highways" in large letters. From the yellowed fonts, it can be seen that it is quite old.

Also on his legs were a few hand-drawn maps by an old master from the city's transport station who often traveled to the south.

At this time, Su Wenchen was looking at several maps while comparing them with each other, but the ones that Su Wenchen referred to the most were the hand-drawn ones by several masters who had traveled to the south.

On these hand-drawn maps, the masters would specifically mark where there were gas stations and which commune or production team would be most suitable for rest.

After all, some places are not very friendly, and staying overnight in such unfriendly places is really risky. And these are things that are not marked on the previous map.

At this time, the cost of information communication is very high. Sometimes the route shown on the map may not be accessible due to various accidents.

After all, this is not the future. Wherever a collapse occurs, the navigation system will be able to receive messages directly, make timely modifications and remind the car owner.

So during this period, it was impossible to get around with just a map.

This is also why Su Wenchen wants to see the hand-drawn drawings of these old masters who traveled to the south.

Although the routes they provide are not real-time, basically someone will take this route every few months, so the accessibility is much more effective than the route maps printed many years ago.

In comparison, the tip of Su Wenchen's pencil drew a small circle while shaking.

"I saw on the hand-drawn map provided by the city that there is a Qingshigou production team a little further down the road. Since the name of this production team is on the map, it means that a master craftsman has stayed overnight there. There shouldn't be any problem!"

"We can spend the night there. If it snows heavily at night and we can't leave the next day, we can drive the pigs to the pigsty of the members' houses to keep warm."

Obviously, even if it snowed, Su Wenchen would not dare to just find a production team to camp out unless he had no other choice.

Upon hearing Su Wenchen's decision, Zhao Weiguo immediately agreed.

But he still spoke in his thick smoke-thick voice.

"But there's no sign here. If we run into anyone, we should go down and ask them!"

Su Wenchen pulled his coat to cover his frozen knees.

"Let's see if we meet anyone and ask for directions. It's already snowing after just a few days of walking, and it's still snowing during the Qingming Festival. They must be targeting us on purpose!"

Hearing this, Zhao Weiguo also nodded.

"Indeed, generally speaking, after Qingming Festival in East China, the temperature will gradually warm up and it is unlikely to snow."

"However, a late spring cold snap like this will occasionally occur, but it usually doesn't last for more than a few days."

"But is this snow following us? When we were in Lan City, the weather looked bad, but who knew it would catch up with us here?"

Su Wenchen also said with a smile.

"Who knows, but if I had known, I should have set off a few days earlier."

"We should have crossed the Yellow River by now, so the probability of snowing there is basically low."

Looking at the snowflakes gradually floating in front of the window, Su Wenchen rolled down the window and shouted directly to the back.

"Master Fan, it's snowing outside. How is it inside your carriage? What's the temperature? Can the pigs withstand it?"

After Su Wenchen finished shouting.

After a while, intermittent sounds came from the car behind.

"Is it you who said that? What?"

Su Wenchen discovered that the sound insulation effect of this plastic film, quilt and straw mat was actually quite good.

It seems that the temperature can be kept about the same.

Of course, Su Wenchen also knew that the bumpy sound of the car and the roar of the engine were also major influencing factors.

However, Su Wenchen still shouted at the top of his voice.

"I say, how's it going in your carriage? Is the pig okay?"

This time he seemed to hear it clearly.

So Xiao Zhou simply opened a small gap at the back of the carriage and replied.

"Manager, it's not cold inside. I just checked the thermometer and it's still 16 degrees! The pigs are fine too, except that they were a little scared at the beginning. I fed them once, and now they are full and lying down comfortably."

"It looks like it has adapted to it. It feels quite comfortable being rocked!"

"It's just that it's not convenient to feed water in this bumpy ride, and it all spilled."

Su Wenchen was relieved when he heard this, as long as the pig was fine.

He didn't want to die before achieving his goal.

"Okay, then we'll stop the car after we see people, and you can feed the pigs water then."

Roll up the windows.

Su Wenchen rubbed his cheeks, which had turned white from the cold after leaning his head forward for a while.

"It seems that our modification is quite good. The temperature inside the carriage is actually sixteen degrees."

"The temperature in the wild right now, I estimate, is around three or four degrees, if not below zero."

"Of course, we have used so many big quilts here, how can it not be warm!"

"But this pig is not that delicate. I have sent fattening pigs to some brother troops guarding the border before."

"It's just two windproof iron sheets, and almost no one freezes to death."

Su Wenchen exhaled and shook his head.

"It's different. It doesn't matter for fattening pigs. When it's cold, they will burn fat to keep warm. We are breeding pigs. Too cold will affect their reproductive capacity."

"So we still have to be cautious, especially when we come back, but it should be much warmer when we get back, at least it won't snow anymore."

However, these three large black sows are breeding pigs bred by Su Wenchen using breeding feed.

In terms of adaptability and health, it is still quite outstanding.

As long as there is no major accident, Su Wenchen feels that there should be no problem.

The next moment, a faint white mist rose from the distance.

Su Wenchen's eyes lit up.

"Old Zhao, is that cooking smoke in the front left?"

Then Su Wenchen rolled up the sleeves of his coat and looked at his watch, and found that it was already past twelve o'clock.

"Let's go over and ask for directions, and also go down to eat something, drain some water, and rest! We'll stop at the Qingshigou Production Team this afternoon and not go any further. Otherwise, if we stop halfway before reaching Liuhe County by dark, accidents are likely to happen."
