Chapter 25: Don’t laugh at the muddy farmer’s wine
In Huaishuling Production Team, Zhao Mancang looked at the green vegetable field in front of him. The vibrant appearance was very attractive.

After passing the vegetable field, Zhao Mancang and Jiang Dayong soon met the production team leader Liu Changge.

As the team leader of the Huaishuling Production Team, Liu Changge can be said to be a local mountain eagle-like figure.

However, his work as a mountain eagle is more for the benefit of the local villagers rather than for himself.

Otherwise, Liu Changge would have been dismissed long ago instead of being elected as captain.

Since he is a mountain eagle, Liu Changge's way of dealing with people and doing things is naturally impeccable.

Zhao Mancang and Jiang Dayong exchanged a few pleasantries with Liu Changge before sitting down and drinking a sip of water. Zhao Mancang then took the initiative to talk about business.

When they arrived at a cowshed with yellow mud brick walls and thatched roof, Zhao Mancang and others were unaware of the pungent smell of cow dung and just observed the yellow cow.

It is painful for an injured cattle to move.

So it just stood there motionless, with its injured leg hanging in the air, not daring to touch the ground.

After observing for a while, before Zhao Mancang could speak, Liu Changge asked expectantly:
"Comrade Zhao, how is it? Are you sure?"

Liu Changge did not look down on Zhao Mancang just because he looked young.

As a mountain eagle, Liu Changge knows how to hide his emotions.

The yellow cow in front of me has been examined by three barefoot doctors, but they were helpless.

In this era, not only are there no specialized veterinarians, even barefoot doctors are very rare.

Although the Huaishuling Production Team was located in the suburbs of Beijing, it was at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains after all. It was already very good to be able to find three barefoot doctors in the surrounding villages.

In more rural areas, when livestock become sick, people either leave it to fate or rely on experienced elders in the village to treat them with folk remedies. Whether the livestock can be saved depends entirely on luck.

After all, Zhao Mancang in front of him was brought here by Jiang Dayong. I heard that he was a level five breeder with rich experience.

And some time ago, he cured a donkey and a working ox respectively. His medical skills in treating livestock are very impressive.

"Captain Liu, I can cure it."

Zhao Mancang nodded to the other party, and Liu Changge and Jiang Dayong were immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, okay, then, Comrade Zhao, what do you need? Just tell me, and I, an old man, will definitely find it for you."

The Huaishuling Production Team was not rich, with only three oxen in total.

The yellow cow in front of me is a two-year-old cow, almost old enough to bear a calf.

Therefore, if possible, Liu Changge still hopes to keep this yellow cow.

"Well, I need you to help me tie up this yellow bull. I don't want it to get hurt during the treatment process."

When they heard what Zhao Mancang said, Liu Changge and Jiang Dayong were stunned.

But soon, Liu Changge followed Zhao Mancang's instructions, found ropes, wooden sticks and other things, and fixed the yellow cattle to the cowshed.

Looking at such sloppy movements, Zhao Mancang frowned.

When he cleans the affected part of the cow, there is a certain possibility that he will be kicked by the cow.

"Captain Liu, can you take it to the slaughterhouse? I remember the slaughterhouse should have the corresponding tools to tie up the cow completely."

Upon hearing this, Liu Changge pointed in astonishment at the tightly tied ox in front of him and said:
"Comrade Zhao, isn't this enough?"

"Of course not. These yellow mud walls are not strong at all. This yellow ox is very strong."

Zhao Mancang shook his head and said.

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This yellow cow is only two years old, and although it has lost a lot of weight due to leg rot and pus, it has lost a lot of weight.

But it was obvious that it had been well-fed by the villagers of Huaishuling Production Team. So, if the cattle went crazy from the pain while he was removing the rotten tissue and necrotic keratin from it, how could it possibly resist with all these things in front of it?
This is the strength of an ox, who can stop it?

Liu Changge looked at Jiang Dayong. The latter naturally had great confidence in Zhao Mancang, so the former followed suit and listened to what Zhao Mancang said.

They found a bullock cart and took the ox to a nearby slaughterhouse.

It's a bit troublesome, but it's useful.

Zhao Mancang spent the entire morning treating the cattle's wounds and also gave it medicines exchanged from the system to speed up its recovery.

After Zhao Mancang finished handling the matter, Liu Changge stepped forward to ask.

When he learned that it was almost time, he enthusiastically said that lunch and wine were ready, and asked him to stay for a quick meal before leaving.

After saying that, he took Zhao Mancang and Jiang Dayong back to Huaishuling Production Team, as if he was afraid that they would escape.

There is a saying that goes, "Don't laugh at the muddy wine of the farmers." When Zhao Mancang looked at the three sumptuous dishes on the table, he was still surprised.

Stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried bacon with bamboo shoots, and stewed pork with potatoes are all staple dishes, and the portions are quite large.

"Captain Liu, you are so polite."

Zhao Mancang felt a little embarrassed, because it was not easy for everyone at this time. Just look at the children in Liu Changge's family.

Even the captain's children are all very skinny.

At this time, the children were standing at the door, staring at the meat on the table, drooling.

It is obvious that life in the countryside is actually more difficult than in the city.

However, Liu Changge had to spend a lot of money for the production team's yellow cow.

The meal lasted for more than an hour, and the half bottle of bulk old melon wine went into the stomachs of Zhao Mancang and the other two.

At this moment, Zhao Mancang heard the screams of chickens coming from the yard.

I don’t know if he was drunk.

"Captain Liu, I'll come back tomorrow afternoon to change the medicine for the yellow cattle. It should be ready in less than a week."

After deciding this matter, Zhao Mancang and Jiang Dayong prepared to leave.

Liu Changge did not try to persuade him to stay, but instead gave Zhao Mancang a freshly slaughtered chicken to take home and eat.

Why is it a killed chicken instead of a live chicken?

Because each household can only raise two chickens, it is better to kill these gift chickens to save trouble.

Otherwise, if trouble arises, it would be really unfair.

Zhao Mancang and Jiang Dayong couldn't refuse, so they had to accept it.

But how can one chicken be enough to eat?
On the way back, Jiang Dayong suggested taking the chicken back to the cafeteria and asking them to prepare some other side dishes so that they could have a meal with the two leaders in the evening.

This proposal was quite good, so Zhao Mancang naturally agreed to it.

However, on the way back, Zhao Mancang still rode the bicycle and let Jiang Dayong sit on the back seat.

Controlling the handlebars and steering yourself is what a real man does.

After returning to the steel plant, directors Wu Huamin and Dong Shaoxian's faces instantly darkened when they saw Zhao Mancang and his team brought back a chicken.

That's it?
