Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

After the people from the Hongxing production team left, Shen Dong sat down.

"Grandpa, Uncle Hui, Uncle Hai just told me about raising pigs, and I suddenly remembered something. I have a pretty good relationship with the livestock station, right? I can ask them for help with breeding and feed."

Shen Dong had been busy with miscellaneous matters at the dairy factory lately, so he only managed to give two lectures. Now that he remembered, he immediately brought it up.

Sure enough, everyone smiled as soon as he finished speaking.

"Isn't it too much trouble? We can't trouble the leader!" Li Shangen was worried about owing favors, because it's never easy to repay favors.

"No trouble at all. I'm going to give a lecture at the livestock station tomorrow, so I might as well ask."

"Great, Dongwa has solved our problem again!"

"Yeah, Captain, why don't we make Dongwa the captain? Haha!" They were all on the same team, joking around.

Li Shangen pondered for a moment and didn't think it was a joke; he genuinely believed Shen Dong was capable.

"Dongwa, what do you think?"

"That won't do. The Hongqi Production Team can't do without you. Please don't make things difficult for me. I still have to manage the dairy factory."

After saying that, Shen Dong quickly ran away.

The next morning, Shen Dong arrived at the livestock station, which he hadn't visited in a long time.

Wang Yuan then took out his treasured tea leaves and poured a cup for Shen Dong.

Shen Dong came to see him yesterday, but he wasn't there; he had gone to the production team. When he came back and heard that Shen Dong had time to give a lecture, he hurriedly organized everyone to listen today.

"Oh my, Xiao Shen, you're really busy these days, and you're doing a really good job! The dairy factory is doing a fantastic job under your management!"

"I sometimes want to buy your yogurt, but I can't find it at the supply and marketing cooperative. It's so popular! How many cans does our supply and marketing cooperative sell a day?"

"1000 cans!" Shen Dong remembered these numbers very clearly. The current daily production is 2800 cans, and the remaining 1800 cans are given to other communes and the county.

Even Wang Yuan was astonished to hear that 1000 cans a day weren't enough to meet demand.

The two chatted for a while, and then it was time for the lecture.

"Brother Wang, I need your help with something later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the office. I'm not going anywhere this morning."

Before long, Shen Dong finished his training course.

Because he hadn't looked at it for a while, even though the materials had been prepared beforehand, Shen Dong still spent a lot of time reviewing them last night.

Fortunately, Shen Dong's reputation has already spread, and he has indeed taught everyone something.

Take milk quality as an example. Thanks to Shen Dong's selfless contributions, the entire commune now produces first-grade milk, and more than half of the production teams have reached the premium grade, which was unthinkable before.

This is all thanks to Shen Dong's prescription.

Moreover, with the increase in milk production, the livestock station's purchase volume has increased significantly, and it can sell to the county at a higher price. This year, the livestock station's income has also increased considerably.

At the same time, the second lesson also covered some very rare cases, which were very helpful to everyone.

Therefore, the training course proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

"How are you? Tired?"

As soon as Shen Dong sat down, Wang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Hey, it's not tiring at all. Everyone is very enthusiastic. They're mostly the ones discussing things, and I'm just adding to their points."

"Really? These guys still like to huddle together and discuss things when they encounter problems. By the way, you said you wanted to see me about something? What is it?" Wang Yuan asked, remembering what Shen Dong had said before the lecture.

"Our production team is planning to expand livestock farming, and I was thinking of asking at our livestock station if they have any, and if so, please reserve some for our team."

This brings us to the main functions of current livestock stations.

In addition to routine and most important disease prevention and control, we also need to do some work such as promoting livestock and poultry breeds and distributing vaccines and feed, so it is perfectly fine for Shen Dong to come and ask questions.

Shen Dong never expected that the good relationship he had built with the livestock station by chance would be so useful.

"That's certainly not a problem, but now is not a good time!"

Wang Yuan thought Shen Dong wanted to buy it now and was thinking about how to persuade him.

Shen Dong didn't know much about poultry farming either, so he asked, "Brother Wang, I don't know much about it either, could you explain it to me?"

"Generally speaking, it's chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. We definitely don't have pigs now; we'll have to wait until March or April after the New Year. Chickens are the same; they're easier to raise in the spring. Oh, by the way, a batch of laying hens is coming next month; does your team want them?"

Shen Dong scratched his head; he didn't know either! But judging from the name, it sounded like they specialized in laying eggs, so he said, "Yes, Brother Wang, could you please save some for me?"

"Okay! I'll let you know when to come over."

"As for ducks and geese, that's at least until April."

Wang Yuan's words were clear and straightforward, which gave Shen Dong a general understanding.

"Okay, that means I can come and pick up a batch of chickens next month, and the rest will have to wait until after the New Year."

"Thanks, Brother Wang. Could you also help me with the feed and stuff later?"

"Of course. By the way, is today's class over? Are there any more classes?"

Shen Dong explained with a smile, "I've already shared most of what I know. The technicians at the station know more than I do, so there's nothing more I can teach them. But we can come over and exchange ideas later."

"You're too modest, Xiao Shen."

The two parted with smiles. Shen Dong left behind two bottles of Shuang Gou liquor, which he had bought for a dozen yuan on the black market, and two cartons of Da Qian Men cigarettes.

When Wang Yuan saw the gift, he simply smiled, nodded at him, and accepted it.

I can't let my friend help me for nothing.

Today is Qiu Xiaoqin's first day at work, and Shen Dong has to go and check on her.

When they arrived at the workshop, everyone was busy. Shen Dong looked around and saw Tang Yue squatting down, explaining something to Qiu Xiaoqin.

Shen Dong walked over and greeted her with a smile, "Auntie."

Qiu Xiaoqin quickly stood up and greeted him softly, "Factory Director."

"Well, I just came to check it out. How's it going? First day on the job, any pressure?"

"No...no pressure!" Qiu Xiaoqin stammered, feeling that the pressure from the stares of those around her was far greater than the pressure from work itself.

"That's good, Auntie. Please take good care of her."

Tang Yue laughed and joked, "This is a task assigned by the factory manager, so I have to complete it. You can rest assured, factory manager."

Then he muttered, "I've never seen you care about your aunt's work, all you care about is that pretty girl."

The sound wasn't loud, but Qiu Xiaoqin and Shen Dong could hear it clearly.

Qiu Xiaoqin's face immediately turned red.

Shen Dong gave an awkward laugh, chuckled twice, and quickly turned and left.

With everything settled, Shen Dong suddenly felt relieved.

The production team was working with the commune's plastics factory to produce plastic film. Shen Dong had made it clear beforehand that this matter had nothing to do with him, so Li Shangen didn't bother him.

At home, some went to school, others farmed; everyone did their part.

However, things always happen when you relax, and this time, it was Shen Weiguo who ran into trouble.
