Chapter 273: This kind of attentiveness, when he was young, he was far behind! (Silver Alliance 6th update)
Lu Anguo knew very well that compared to opening a branch farm in a place thousands of miles away where there was not a single hair on the ground, those farms would definitely prefer to have one less piece of agricultural machinery.
For them, the lack of a piece of agricultural machinery actually has no impact. At most, the harvesting progress will be slightly slower by a day or two.
Besides, the agricultural machinery allocated to them was just moved back, not stopped from being given to them.
But to open a branch, the investment would be much more than this.
So Lu Anguo added directly.
"Then, Boss, I'll go back and arrange and coordinate the order, and strive to have the agricultural machinery delivered to Blue Water Farm after the New Year."
When the old man saw that his subordinate understood what he meant, he nodded immediately.
"Also, coordinate with the Ministry's Engineering Bureau and ask them to send two small excavators over."
"For saline-alkali land like this, clearing the land is a minor issue; the main problem is building canals."
Hearing this, Lu Anguo glanced at Su Wenchen and felt that the Blue Water Farm seemed to be a hot commodity in the eyes of the leaders.
After all, the Engineering Bureau of the Ministry has always been a key unit of the Ministry.
Because the purchase of various industrial equipment has to be negotiated personally with the Ministry of First Machine Building.
This is the first time that such industrial equipment has been allocated to the farms below!
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was also stunned. He did not expect that the leader would directly allocate four additional large agricultural machines and two excavators this time.
This is definitely a huge help to their branch, because when digging a canal, one shovel of excavator will probably take a person an hour to dig.
So after hearing this, Su Wenchen did not modestly say that they didn't need it.
Because he knows clearly that when the leader allocates things to you first, he is not looking at how humble you are, but wants to see you produce results directly.
Seeing this, Su Wenchen said directly.
"Don't worry, leader. Our Blue Water Farm will definitely not let the Ministry down. We will definitely report our actual achievements to the Ministry."
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right. If you had said no or something like that, I would have been quite disappointed. It's true that youth is full of energy."
"Work hard! I look forward to you transforming the saline-alkali Yellow River floodplain into a fertile livestock farming center."
"Let's go! Let's take a final look around your chicken farm."
"I heard that you started out by raising chickens."
Seeing this, Su Wenchen smiled and opened the door for the old man.
"Don't worry, leader. After our branch is built, we hope you can come over and give us some advice."
The old man shook his head.
"If you can really transform tens of millions of acres of saline-alkali land into a fertile pastoral center with great potential."
“Not only am I going to go there, I’m afraid all the leaders in the hospital will have to go and see it in person.
After all, the tens of millions of acres of saline-alkali land in the Yellow River floodplain have always been a waste of resources on the Huanghuai Plain.
Never mind!
It’s such a waste of such a large area of land in the plains!
But govern it!
Not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed, the main thing is that the grain production is much lower than that of other lands even if it is managed well.
Given that there are large areas of land waiting to be reclaimed in the Great Northern Wilderness, it is actually not cost-effective to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in its management.
This is why even though he is optimistic about the Blue Water Farm, he still has not allocated a large number of machinery and equipment.
Because it is different from the Great Northern Wilderness. Once the black soil there is reclaimed, it will turn into abundant grain next year.
Even if the saline-alkali land is well managed and crops can be grown, the yield will be reduced, and a yield of 100 kilograms per mu is normal.
Moreover, the institute has already set the tone, and at present it is still mainly focused on supporting the reclamation of the Great Northern Wilderness, and a large number of educated youth are also mainly supporting that side.
Here we mainly use farms as units to conduct demonstration exploration, combined with local departments' own governance.
There is no way around it, the country has to settle the accounts.
Although Su Wenchen didn't know this, he could tell that the old man didn't have high hopes for the division.
He didn't say much, because it would be useless to say too much before any results were achieved.
So Su Wenchen said directly.
"Okay, we'll wait until our sub-fields have produced results before we welcome the leadership's inspection."
"Now let me take you to the chicken farm!"
"Leader, you'd better tell me, our Blue Water Rooster is quite famous in our area now!"
A group of people walked all the way to the chicken coop area but had not yet entered the chicken coop.
You can hear constant sounds like "Clack!"
The old man pointed to a small open space in the distance that was surrounded by barbed wire.
"Aren't all your chickens raised in cages? Why are there some raised outdoors over there?"
Su Wenchen said directly.
"That's the only rooster farm. We've tried this kind of meat rooster, and the ones that are free-range and roam around regularly have the best meat quality."
"Although they grow a little slower, the meat quality is much better than caged ones. However, the price is also much higher. Currently, other companies purchase from our farm at two yuan per kilogram."
"It's just that we don't raise more chickens on our farm because we only have about 600 of them right now, and we mainly use our limited food to raise laying hens."
The old man was a little curious when he heard this.
"You're selling it so expensive? Are there any companies coming to buy it?"
Su Wenchen scratched his head.
To be honest, it’s not that there are companies that come to purchase this thing, but ordinary companies simply can’t afford it.
Although the price is twice that of an ordinary rooster, various guesthouses in the city and county, as well as factory receptionists, are now very fond of this big rooster.
So after hesitating for a moment, Su Wenchen said directly.
"Boss, there's still a market for this kind of rooster. If grain production weren't so low right now, we would have expanded our breeding scale long ago!"
After all, there have always been classes. Although everyone is poor now, there are still some people with high salaries.
Dual-income families like Su Wenchen's can save a lot of money every month.
Because housing, medical care, and education are all taken care of by the company at this time, the most you have to do is pay for your meals, and the company will usually subsidize part of the cost.
For a family like theirs, there is almost no extra money to spend except for buying clothes and big items.
The old man obviously understood what Su Wenchen meant.
But still gave instructions.
"Your farm is doing the right thing. At this stage, you should still focus on raising laying hens. After all, for ordinary working-class families, chicken that costs two yuan per pound is unaffordable."
After entering the chicken coop, it was obvious that things would be much busier.
Workers, wearing navy blue work clothes and masks, shuttled between chicken cages.
Some people pushed buckets to add water, while others pushed egg baskets to pick eggs from under the cages.
Some workers were also removing the manure trays covered with chicken manure and replacing them with clean ones one by one.
The researchers from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who followed in were all looking at the chicken coop curiously.
Obviously, in their eyes, the pig house was not much different from theirs. Although the rabbit house was well built, they didn't have much of an impression because there were not many people there.
But on the chicken coop side, these researchers really felt a sense of scale.
A long row of chicken coops, coupled with the lights on the ceiling, is very shocking at first glance.
Coupled with the busy crowd here, although busy, it gives people a very orderly feeling.
The old man also sighed.
"Your farm is even more spectacular than the Red Star Chicken Farm in Beijing!"
"I've been there twice to inspect the work. They don't raise many more chickens than you do, but it always gives me a feeling of chaos."
"In general, it's not as orderly as yours!"
"You've been able to grow to this scale step by step. You deserve to be a good example for all the farms below you!"
After saying that, he walked to a pillar next to a chicken coop and took down a notebook.
Look at the daily feeding and egg production records for this quarter recorded above.
"Xiao Su, I didn't expect the ratio of materials to eggs in your farm is almost two to one."
Su Wenchen nodded directly.
"Our chickens are all specially bred laying hens, and the eggs they lay are obviously much larger than those of ordinary local chickens."
"However, although this current breeding method has a high egg production rate and lays a lot of eggs, the hens will be eliminated quickly. Basically, a batch of hens will enter a fatigue period after more than a year due to excessive egg laying."
"A normal free-range chicken's basic egg-laying cycle can last for more than two years."
"Finally, I feel that this type of egg is not as fragrant as those small eggs!"
“Of course the difference is not that significant.”
The old man shook his head.
"That's a great deal! After all, some of your eggs weigh 70 grams, almost as big as two normal eggs."
"I think it's not just pigs, your chickens also have a lot of room for promotion!"
"If I hadn't come here to see this, I really wouldn't have known that you had such a treasure hidden in your chicken coop!"
"Why are you still reluctant to tell the department?"
Su Wenchen immediately smiled and said.
"Leader, judging from what you said, there's nothing to be reluctant about. Besides, this type of laying hen breeding is already very mature in our farm."
"It's almost not difficult to promote this thing."
Upon seeing this, the old man spoke directly to the cadres from the Animal Husbandry Institute who followed him.
"After you return, all the people from the Animal Husbandry Bureau should go back and inform those large state-owned chicken farms."
"Send people here to learn how to introduce the product, and then let them negotiate with Blue Water Farm themselves."
"Let's go! Your company has a confidential phone number, right? I'll get back to the higher-ups. I guess they're all waiting for news right now!"
Hearing this, Su Wenchen nodded immediately.
"Sir, the confidential phone is in my office. When it was first assigned to the department, the general office sent someone to install it! I'll show you the way!"
They walked all the way to the office area, and after the old man went in, the security team members who followed him closed the door directly.
Then he signaled to everyone else not to get too close.
Seeing that Su Wenchen finally made time, Miao Yuan immediately ran over, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.
"Director, how do we arrange the lunch? What standards should we follow for our reception?"
After all, they were entertaining the highest-ranking leader from their own system or a higher-level department, so Miao Yuan didn't know what standard should be used for the reception.
Before Su Wenchen finished speaking, Lu Anguo came over.
"Xiao Su, don't do anything knowingly and willfully!"
"This year, the higher-ups issued a document clearly prohibiting public spending on food and drink. They demanded that people go to the cafeteria and pay for their meals themselves!"
"Just follow your normal cafeteria food supply."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he turned around and said to Miao Yuan.
"Okay then, let's stick with the original menu. What was originally served for lunch today?"
Miao Yuan replied directly.
"Originally, there was a meat dish called stir-fried pork liver, a vegetable dish called cabbage stewed with vermicelli noodles, and a limited supply of scrambled eggs with green onions."
Lu Anguo was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Xiao Su, your cafeteria actually has two meat dishes every day?"
To be honest, it is not surprising for Lu Anguo to find that farms like this usually serve a meat-flavored dish every day.
Because the state-owned farms under them, including the canteens of their ministries, only supply one meat dish every day. Of course, if you go too late, it will be gone.
But he didn't expect that there were two meat dishes served here.
When Su Wenchen heard this, he shook his head and explained.
"Director, normally our cafeteria also has one meat and one vegetable dish for employees to choose from.
The scrambled eggs with green onions are usually prepared based on the situation. The canteen will only add a scrambled egg dish if there is a loss of eggs when loading them at the egg warehouse."
"The specific supply depends entirely on how many eggs are lost every day."
Lu Anguo blinked and said directly.
"Then your egg loss rate will be very high."
Because he knew at a glance that if it was like this, there must be something delicious, or the employees who wanted to take advantage would deliberately break the eggs.
He had seen many such things, and he had also heard of some employees in printing and dyeing factories deliberately dyeing some cloth badly in order to get more defective cloth for the company.
Su Wenchen smiled and shook his head.
"The egg pickers at our unit's egg warehouse are all subject to loss standards. If the loss is very low and meets certain standards, they will receive a low-loss subsidy every year."
"So for them, even if they deliberately destroy the eggs, they may not be able to eat them. Instead, if they work more carefully, they can safely eat the annual subsidy."
"Besides, our company has a meat dish almost every day, so most employees don't lack for food! After all, the cafeteria costs money!"
After speaking to Lu Anguo, Su Wenchen turned around and whispered to Miao Yuandao.
"You go and arrange it!"
"But replace the fried pork liver for lunch with braised pork and potatoes. Tell the cafeteria to add more meat, but not all meat."
"By the way, please tell them to stew it until it's softer!"
Although Su Wenchen lowered his voice deliberately, Lu Anguo heard most of it.
He secretly admired him in his heart. No wonder this kid had never offended anyone along the way! He could get along well with everyone.
Just add meat to one meat dish so you don't violate the rules.
Even if the leader has bad teeth, very few people know about it because the leader's health condition is kept confidential.
Su Wenchen just came to the department yesterday, and he was able to notice it himself just by watching the meal they had together in Jinshi last night. This shows how attentive he is.
He was far less attentive than this when he was young.
