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

"Dad, eat something first! Dongzi isn't going to run away!"

As he spoke, an old man with gray hair but a sprightly spirit walked in, his face filled with anger.

Tang Yue followed closely behind, with her uncle Shen Weiguo trailing behind with a helpless expression, a cigarette never leaving his hand.

Before the old man could speak, Tang Yue hurriedly said, "Dongzi, your grandfather just got back. Tell him slowly about buying the cow."

As he spoke, he winked at Shen Dong.

Shen Dong knew perfectly well that the old man was coming to scold him, so he quickly shut him up: "Grandpa, Uncle and Aunt, you've come at the right time, try this yogurt."

Shen Changping, feeling stifled, stomped his foot in anger and glared at the ground, saying, "You're trying to drive me crazy! Are you even going to let me speak?!"

"Dongzi, go find your great-grandfather now and ask him to return the cow."

The old man, Shen Chang, directly assigned Shen Dong tasks.

"If he doesn't agree, I'll just take 2 yuan less."

"I was only home for two days, and this huge thing happened. It's been a constant commotion."

Shen Changping and his grandmother Liu Xiuying had four children: the eldest, Shen Weimin; the second, Shen Fang; the third, Shen Lan; and the fourth, Shen Weiguo.

The eldest child had long since separated from the family and become independent, while the second and third children had also gotten married.

The two elderly people and the fourth son did not separate their households and still live together.

These past two days, my aunt Shen Lan had some business to attend to, so the two elderly people went to help her. Unexpectedly, they heard some terrible news as soon as they got home, which frightened the old man so much that he rushed over immediately.

"Speak properly. Dongzi is all grown up now and has his own ideas."

Tang Yue tried to smooth things over from the side.

"What are you thinking? The technicians already said it's beyond saving! Is this kid, barely out of school, more capable than the technicians?"

The old man was in a fit of anger, and he kept arguing back, leaving Tang Yue speechless.

Shen Dong pretended to be obedient, nodding repeatedly, and quietly pulled Shen Changping to the chair and pressed him down to sit.

Shen Changping is stubborn. He has been the head of the family for half his life, so you can't just push him. You have to go along with him.

"Grandpa, you're right. That's why you're the one who should be in charge of this family."

"I'll go find my great-grandfather later and return this cow."

Shen Dong pretended to express his opinion, speaking in a sincere tone.

Seeing the old man's tense expression relax, he chuckled inwardly, thinking, "I bet you're not going to miss the mark."

Thinking about it, he took a bowl and served one to Shen Changping and Tang Yue as well.

(Shen Weiguo: What about mine?)

"You guys should try it."

Tang Yue thought it was just ordinary yogurt and didn't want to eat it at first, but then she caught a glimpse of Li Hu smacking his lips with a grin on his face.

She hesitated for a moment, then took a bite, which immediately surprised her.

"Xiao Dong, this yogurt...?"

"Haha, Auntie, isn't it delicious! My brother made it!"

Shen Min looked at Shen Dong with pride, her eyes shining with admiration.

"Mmm, delicious!" Shen Changping said succinctly, expressing his approval.

"Auntie, do you think if your factory made yogurt just like this, could it bring them back to life?"

"You're asking a question you already know the answer to. If it were really that delicious, it would be snapped up at any supply and marketing cooperative!"

The answer is obvious; Shen Dong asked the question simply to elicit his own plan.

"Grandpa, do you think it would be a profitable business if I contracted the commune's dairy factory?"

Shen Changping was taken aback. "Contract it out?"

He then frowned, considered his words carefully, and said, "I'm afraid that won't work! Although there are examples of contracting in other places, we haven't opened this door here, so it might be difficult!"

"Besides, even if you, a mere teenager, took this to the commune director, he wouldn't believe you could run the factory well."

Shen Dong had anticipated the old man's idea.

Age is a serious issue that people tend to underestimate.

That's why Shen Dong wanted to implement double-layer protection.

"If I can cure the cow and make it produce premium milk, do you think the commune leaders will believe me?"

Shen Changping didn't jump up in surprise; he was slowly processing what his grandson's words had revealed.

Li Hu, who was standing to the side, then realized what was going on.

"Oh, no wonder you were going to visit the dairy factory today." Then, as if remembering something, he clapped his hands: "Dongzi, you're amazing! Your plan is absolutely brilliant!"

"If I were a leader of the commune, I would definitely beg you to take over the contract."

Li Hu, with his endearing憨态可掬 (simple and honest appearance), hopped over and put his arm around his brother's shoulder: "From now on, I'll be following you!"

"Hmm... the problem is that acquiring the factory is a huge expense. How do we get the money?"

Shen Changping didn't ask his grandson how he knew how to treat cattle; instead, he was considering the loopholes in the plan.

"Hehe, I've already planned this out. Grandpa, just wait and see how I perform."

"Alright, you're all grown up now, you have your own ideas! Keep up the good work."

Shen Changping stopped mentioning the cattle and turned away.

After reassuring his family and making them his pillars of support, Shen Dong began to devote himself fully to the work of managing cattle.

After applying the compress for two consecutive days, Xiaohua's inflammation subsided, and her indigestion problem also improved.

My appetite has improved significantly in the last few days.

Then Shen Dong began acupressure massage.

The information states that increasing production can be achieved by promoting blood circulation.

Currently, the commune's dairy cows produce about 5 jin (2.5 catties) of milk per day, and the milk quality is at the second-grade level.

It is said that acupressure combined with improved feed can achieve the quality of premium milk, while also increasing production by at least half.

Therefore, Shen Dong has been very diligent these past few days.

In addition, the cultivation of the strains is also underway.

Actually, places like Beijing and Nanjing already have automated equipment that can provide bacterial strains.

But there was no other way; we had neither money nor connections, so we could only rely on ourselves.

Fortunately, the progress was smooth and a high-quality strain was finally isolated.

He wasn't idle at the dairy factory either.

Whenever they had free time, they would take Li Hu over there to chat with the old gatekeeper.

I also learned that the old man's surname was Huang and that he was an old revolutionary.

Previously, Old Huang was very tight-lipped and wouldn't reveal any sensitive information.

After Shen Dong let him try the yogurt once, and after Shen Dong hinted at cooperating with the factory, Old Man Huang took the initiative to reveal a lot of information.

This also gave Shen Dong greater confidence.

That day, Shen Dong got up to milk the cows as usual.

Xiao Hua started producing milk yesterday, but the quality was only at the first-grade standard, which left Shen Dong slightly disappointed.

It's unclear whether the problem stems from a recent physical recovery or from issues with the data.

He held the enamel bucket he had prepared beforehand, and as soon as his hand touched Xiaohua's breast, warm milk flowed down his fingers.

Shen Dong immediately realized the change.

Compared to yesterday, the milk flavor is noticeably stronger, and there's also more of it.

"Brother, hurry, change the bucket, it's almost full!"

Shen Min looked with delight at the bucket under Xiao Hua, which had been filled in a short time, and quickly instructed her brother to change the bucket.

Seeing that the second bucket was also more than half full, the two of them showed expressions of surprise.

This must weigh 8 pounds!

Shen Dong couldn't wait to take a sip, and sure enough, everything was right, this was premium milk!
