Chapter 126 Before the autumn harvest, we must build the first batch of chicken coops
Just after seeing off Zhao Wuniu.
The young man brought by Feng Guoliang ran over hurriedly.
Since he was a stranger, there was a group of dogs raised by the brigade following him.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Several dogs were trotting behind each other.
"Captain! Captain! Help me! Your team's dog is trying to bite me!"
The other party shouted and ran towards Su Wenchen quickly.
Even though he was out of breath, his pace did not slow down at all.
Seeing this, Su Wenchen walked over and waved to the dogs.
"Alright, alright, we're on our own, go have some fun!"
When the dogs saw Su Wenchen speak, they seemed to understand and barked at him twice.
Then he turned around and strolled away.
Su Wenchen looked at the other person gasping for breath and reminded him.
"Don't run when you enter our brigade next time. Our brigade has dogs. If you don't run during the day, they won't chase you. At most, they will bark at you twice to alert the villagers."
In fact, there are not many families in their team who keep dogs. Generally, only families with very small populations keep dogs.
The few that followed the other side were raised by the brigade, and were mainly used to guard the brigade's warehouse.
However, these dogs will not bite people.
Generally, when strangers come in, they will follow slowly and bark behind the strangers until a familiar member of their team comes out, and then they will go back home.
They will only chase after those who run away when they see people.
It can be said that it is very human.
On the other side, the other party also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the dog leave.
"Huh! Captain, the dogs in your team are too fierce!"
"As soon as I came in, I was yelling at him. I couldn't even run away!"
Su Wenchen glanced at the other person.
"Who told you to run? They probably thought you were here to steal something!"
The other party said aggrievedly.
"Who would come to steal things in broad daylight? Section Chief Miao asked me to come quickly to call you. Section Chief Miao is back, and he brought back more than just a cart of stuff."
"A truck and tractor were also driven over."
"But he said that there is no driver who can drive a truck in our chicken farm right now, so he asked me to come to you for advice!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, his eyes lit up.
"You're back so soon? Okay, I'll be there right away."
Su Wenchen didn't expect that Lao Miao was so helpful and actually drove the car back in just one day.
Because nowadays, even if many things are approved, the other party will usually delay for a while.
So the fact that Lao Miao was able to drive the car back on the first day made Su Wenchen look at Lao Miao's efficiency with new eyes.
At the state-owned chicken farm.
As soon as Su Wenchen walked over, he saw a large group of members who came to help unload the supplies. They were surrounding a medium-to-large truck and pointing and talking.
"Is this the big truck from the chicken farm? This is the first time I've seen it up close. There's such a huge truck bed at the back. How much stuff can it carry?"
"I heard from the old man who delivered the truck that this truck can carry tens of thousands of kilograms of stuff at a time."
"Oh my god, if we use this truck to pay the public grain, won't it only take two or three trucks to haul it? It would be great if our brigade could buy a big truck."
"What are you dreaming about? Haven't you heard that ordinary factories like this can't be bought even if you have money? You need special approval to buy one."
"Then why can't we build a chicken farm here so we can buy this big car?"
"You are stupid. Director Su is so capable that he even bought tractors for the team. How can you compare? Our team leader saw that Ping Village bought a tractor and wanted to buy one too, but I heard that the city's agricultural machinery factory didn't even let him in."
"They said that if you want to buy farm machinery, you should apply to our county's farm machinery station. But when our team leader went to ask, he found out that there are only a few quotas that can be applied for each year. There are not enough quotas in the county and the various communes, let alone our team."
"The team leader is really useless. It would be great if Director Su was the team leader of our team. Then maybe our team would have a tractor too."
"What good things are you thinking? Director Su is from our Pingcun Brigade."
"Who said that? It used to belong to your Pingcun Brigade, but now it belongs to the country and to all of us!"
"That's right. Now Director Su is owned by the state, and his household registration has been moved away from your Pingcun Brigade."
"He is also from our team. His father and his wife are both from our team!"
"Then he is no longer in your team. He belongs to the country now."
Su Wenchen, who was walking over from a distance, heard this and was immediately speechless.
"Alright, alright, what's yours and mine? Aren't we all members of the country? Stop dividing it up."
"Just do what you need to do!"
After saying that, Su Wenchen also walked forward and patted the heavy front of the car.
“Boom boom!”
A dull steel sound was heard.
Su Wenchen nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, that sounds like a good start."
After Su Wenchen finished speaking, Miao Yuan also saw Su Wenchen rushing over.
He immediately trotted over to Su Wenchen.
"Captain, you're here! But you can still hear the front of the car, okay?"
Su Wenchen looked at the other person and said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm kidding. No matter how good a car mechanic is, he can't tell whether a car is good or not just by tapping the shell!"
"But Lao Miao, you did a great job! You just drove back the truck that I thought was the most difficult to deal with. I thought it would take us at least ten days to half a month."
Su Wenchen was not lying, he really thought that it would take some time.
Miao Yuan waved his hands and declined repeatedly.
"Director, the truck incident is really not my credit. You don't know that it has spread all over the city. Secretary Li directly mentioned the name of our chicken farm at the meeting and also said two words of strong support."
"Our supplies are going smoothly now. After all, they are afraid that if something happens to us, they will directly blame their factory for the problem."
Su Wenchen smiled when he heard this.
"If they really just keep dragging their feet and not giving it to you, this is really a solution."
In fact, Su Wenchen also knew that every factory leader was a shrewd person.
They rarely make this kind of mistake. Generally speaking, they know exactly which factories can be delayed and which ones cannot be delayed.
To put it bluntly, those who have no background are bullied. If they are delayed, then it is delayed, and there is nothing you can do to them.
As for my current chicken farm, Secretary Li mentioned its name twice at the public meeting. Anyone who is not stupid would know that this is a project that the leadership is paying attention to.
If I deliberately delay at this time, wouldn't that just be making things difficult for myself?
Even if the leader thinks more deeply, he will find that someone is deliberately hindering the project he is concerned about. Is this your opinion on the project or on me?
When Miao Yuan heard this, he shook his head.
"It's not necessary to do that. If we really offend them, we will be hard to deal with in the future. After all, we can't always ask the higher-ups to coordinate supplies when we build family housing."
“Most of the time we still have to negotiate with the factories for unplanned materials.”
"It's much easier now than it was back then in Shiquan. Manager, you don't know that back then I went to other people's factories every day, begging them to ship the goods."
"I'm almost kneeling on the ground and kowtow!"
"This kind of planned slip has a low price. Many factories simply delay the delivery of a small state-owned enterprise like our Shiquan Chicken Farm."
"We give priority to those unplanned and coordinated goods. Some of them have been delayed until the end of the year. They have to keep up with the report on the indicators completed this year before they will be shipped to us one after another."
"I was planning to stay in Lan City today, and prepare for a protracted war with them!"
"However, Director, although the car has arrived, I wanted to borrow the old master for a while, but the car factory was unwilling to do so."
"So we have no choice. I'm afraid we can only rest this car for a while."
"We need to train a driver ourselves. Fortunately, we still have a tractor. I heard that your team trained several tractor drivers at the same time. It should be no problem for us to borrow two tractor drivers."
After hearing this, Su Wenchen looked at the truck in the distance and shook his head.
"It's probably difficult to train myself. This thing is much harder to drive than a tractor."
Since the car factory has made it very obvious that they look down on them and don't want to help.
So he could only find a solution on his own. There was a transportation station in their county.
It wouldn't be a problem to send a few people over to learn, but to drive a large vehicle like this, Su Wenchen didn't think the people he sent would be able to learn it in three to five days if they didn't have any driving skills.
Miao Yuan was also scratching his head.
"How about we go to the county transport station and borrow a driver? If our chicken farm plans to produce eggs before the New Year, then time is very tight. We must build the first batch of chicken coops before the autumn harvest!"
"Otherwise, if we delay a little, we won't have enough time."
Su Wenchen nodded.
"You can go and try. It would be best if you could borrow a driver. If that doesn't work, you can only send a few people to learn."
Because the autumn harvest is just a month away, Su Wenchen wants to build a few chicken coops before the harvest, so he must add this truck. After all, this thing can carry more than ten tons of things at a time, and the carriage hanging at the back is also large enough.
This trip is equivalent to five or six round trips by a tractor, and it runs much faster than a tractor.
Su Wenchen and his team have calculated, so their chicken farm wants to produce the first batch of eggs before the New Year.
Then the first batch of chicks must be put into the house before the autumn harvest in mid-September.
In this way, their chicken farm will be able to lay the first batch of eggs by the Chinese New Year in February of the following year.
And Su Wenchen's problem was not only because of Secretary Li, but more because there was a real shortage of eggs during the Chinese New Year.
Because the temperature is lower in winter, it is impossible for the free-range hens raised by the members of the brigade to maintain the temperature of the chicken coop by installing fire boxes and flues like the state-owned chicken farms.
In this way, the hen can only consume its own energy to keep warm. In this case, the hen naturally has no more energy to lay eggs.
In addition, the food fed by the members at this time is not nutritious enough. In winter, it is common for the hens raised by the members to only lay one egg every five or six days.
If the chicken coop is not warm enough and is particularly leaky, then it will be even worse. You probably won't be able to lay any eggs, and the hens may even freeze to death.
Moreover, the Chinese New Year period is different from other times. At this time, many members’ families will not choose to sell even if they produce a few eggs.
Whether you are eating at home or visiting your father-in-law, this is something you can show off.
So Su Wenchen felt that no matter from which angle you looked at it, this first batch of eggs must come out before the New Year.
This is a good start for both the chicken farm and myself!
After thinking for a moment, Su Wenchen touched his chin.
"By the way, Lao Miao, do you think there are also car soldiers who retire from the army occasionally?"
"You said I should call the county's civil affairs department and arrange for these demobilized people to work in our chicken farm."
Miao Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Wenchen's words, and looked at Su Wenchen with slight hesitation.
"Well~ Logically it should be fine, but under the same conditions, the other party should choose the County Transport Station!"
"After all, our site hasn't been built yet. Compared to our uncertain future, the county transportation station seems to be more stable."
But Su Wenchen didn't think so.
"Lao Miao, think about it. Although we are just starting out here, we have more opportunities. If we go to the county transport station, we will be an ordinary driver at best, and we may even have to rely on the experienced drivers above us."
"It's different here. Once you come here, you will be given important positions. If you do a good job, you will definitely be the leader of the transportation team."
"Besides, we are building a chicken farm here, so we may need to use vehicles more often, as we need to transport bricks and various materials from place to place."
"After the back is built, the most work is basically to go to the county grain depot and the county supply and marketing station every few days to transport the raw materials needed for feed."
"Isn't this much more comfortable than the transport station!"
"The transportation station arranges long-distance trips every month, and sometimes I can't even go home for several months."
"If anything happens at home, I won't have time to take care of it, so I think if they are smart, they will choose our chicken farm."
After hearing what Su Wenchen said, Miao Yuan nodded slightly in agreement.
“That seems to be the case!”
After listening to Su Wenchen's analysis, Miao Yuan felt that the manager's abilities were getting better and better.
Although their chicken farm now has nothing but a pile of raw materials and doesn't even have a chicken, the farm manager says that it is better than the county transport station.
If someone really transferred back to civilian work, Miao Yuan believed that even if the other party planned to go to the county transportation station, he would probably change his mind after hearing what the director said.
But he still reminded Su Wenchen.
"Captain, it's rare for a car soldier to transfer to civilian jobs. We can't just keep waiting!"
"If no one changes jobs, we can't afford to wait!"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"I know, we can't rely on this alone. Let's see if we can go to the transport station first and borrow a driver to help. Then we can send a few apprentices to the county transport station to learn. Finally, we can see if there are any retired motor vehicle soldiers who have returned."
"With these three approaches, I don't believe there won't be someone in the entire county who can drive a truck."
"Before that, this car cannot be left idle. I will take over temporarily."
When Miao Yuan heard this, he looked at Su Wenchen in shock.
"Captain, you can drive this thing? This is not a jeep!"
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"I haven't driven one either, so I'll try it first!"
When Miao Yuan heard this, he stretched out his hand and was about to say something.
After all, this is a car worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Can you just try this without being taught? Who will be held responsible if it breaks?
But he realized instantly that the other party was the biggest leader here.
Who can control him?
Even if it's really broken, wouldn't it just take a few words for the other party to fix it?
Is it possible that the city will cause trouble to the other party just because of a car repair?
Thinking of this, Miao Yuan immediately put his hand down.
Just a short while after Su Wenchen went up in the distance, the truck started to move with a "buzzing" sound.
Even though some people knew that it was Su Wenchen's first time driving, many members immediately and quickly climbed into the large truck bed at the back.
Everyone wants to experience what it's like to ride in such a big truck.
After the truck started, Su Wenchen drove the car slowly around a large open space.
Because the surrounding area is flat ground.
The entire open space is very large, so there is enough space for Su Wenchen to hone his skills.
Only after he felt he had mastered the technique did Su Wenchen stop the car and jump out, slapping his arm.
"Damn, this thing is so hard to drive, the steering wheel feels like it's welded on, it's so hard to turn!"
"How's Lao Miao? My skills are okay, right?"
"I'll drive to the county's vehicle inspection office tomorrow, get a license, and then we can start work."
"We have to build the first batch of chicken coops before the fall harvest."
"Oh, by the way, I told the militia in the brigade to send ten people over tonight, and give them a kilogram of food subsidy a day. You can make the arrangements then!"
"Let's see if it's distributed once a week or once a month. I have to go back and figure out how to recruit people. I thought we wouldn't need many people at the beginning."
"Now it seems that we didn't think enough! At this rate, we'll be busy like spinning tops and still not be able to finish the work."
Miao Yuan looked at Su Wenchen rubbing his arms as he walked.
He now really admires Su Wenchen a little.
He is already the field manager, but the other party actually intends to work as a driver first.
Miao Yuan had worked at the Shiquan Chicken Farm, so he knew that this kind of large truck was not easy to drive. It was common to have sore shoulders after driving for a whole day.
It was obvious that the other party only needed to talk, but he still chose to lead by example, and he had heard some things about the other party from Lao Hou when he came.
When it comes to raising chickens, the other party can tell the health status of most chickens with just one pair of eyes.
This is a skill that only many experienced veterinarians can master, and even most of them can only diagnose a few common diseases.
As for the tractor, you can quickly get started by listening to the master's instructions. As for the jeep mentioned above and the truck now, you can master it with just a little trial and error.
No wonder the other party is the director at such a young age.
If he was like this when he was young, with many ideas, a quick mind, intelligence and the ability to endure hardships, he might be the field manager now!
If Su Wenchen knew what Miao Yuan was thinking, he would definitely sneer at him. He was willing to endure this hardship because he had the final say here.
And the most important thing is that he can see the hope of rising. No, that’s not right. It should be said that he has already stepped into it.
If he really had to continue to be a driver, Su Wenchen would not be so motivated. Even though being a driver is a very popular profession now, he would not be as motivated as he is now.
