Chapter 281: I, Zhang Qianjin, can eat food given out of pity?
Yang Fusheng heard the conversation between the two.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke a little embarrassedly.
"Comrade Su, I wonder if we can have a chance to import your blue moorhens!"
"You can ask for anything you want!"
After thinking about it, I felt that they seemed to be different from Qianjin Farm. They didn't have the resources like them, nor did they have the confidence to ask for things casually like them. I even guess that most people didn't know what was on their farm.
So I added.
"Comrade Su, our Eryuan Farm is definitely not as resource-rich as Qianjin Farm."
"And it seems the only thing we can show off is the breast fan."
"Comrade Su, do you know anything about the breast fan?"
Su Wenchen was indeed a little confused when he heard this.
"Breast fan?"
"Is it food? Or a fan?"
To be honest, he had never heard of it, but at that time, transportation was not so convenient, and most things were produced and sold by themselves, and cross-provincial circulation required provincial allocation approval.
Therefore, local specialties are actually rarely circulated.
However, when Zhang Qianjin heard this, he said directly.
"Brother, it's not a fan, it's a dairy product similar to cheese."
"We sell them here. My wife bought some for my daughter before. They're only 30 cents a piece. They're really not cheap!"
"But it tastes pretty good. It's a bit like toffee, but with a much richer milk flavor, a bit of burnt sweetness, and a hint of smokiness."
“Because it has plenty of milk flavor, it’s very popular with children!”
After hearing what Zhang Qianjin said, Yang Fusheng immediately nodded frequently.
"Comrade Su, it's pretty much the same as what Comrade Qianjin said. This stuff is made by boiling fresh milk in an iron pot with pine wood over a slow fire."
After hearing this, Su Wenchen roughly knew what it was.
However, he thinks that only people in big cities can afford such expensive dairy products.
So he was not very interested in this kind of thing, but he was very interested in the source of their fresh milk.
"Comrade Yang, so you mainly raise dairy cows there?"
"How is the annual milk production of your cows?"
To be honest, Su Wenchen is not particularly anxious about the subsequent plans for raising cattle, but if he meets someone in charge of this aspect, Su Wenchen would still be willing to have a chat with them.
Seeing Su Wenchen ask this, Yang Fusheng obviously knew what Su Wenchen was interested in.
But he hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Comrade Su, we do mainly raise local Dengchuan cattle that produce fresh milk."
"For the cows on our farm, the lactation period is only about 270 days a year, so the total annual milk production is about 4,000 kilograms!"
"But Comrade Su, if you want to introduce it, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"In the past two years, several places have imported our Dengchuan cattle from us, but the results have not been good."
"It might be because of the altitude. Our area is over 2,000 meters above sea level. Once we leave our area, the incidence of disease and milk production in cattle will decrease accordingly."
"We came here for a meeting this time, which is also an attempt by the bureau and us to improve Deng Chuanniu."
“Let’s see if we can breed Dengchuan cattle suitable for the plains.”
After hearing what Yang Fusheng said, Zhang Qianjin also persuaded him.
"Brother Achen, are you planning to build a cattle farm on your farm?"
"If you need, I can introduce you to the dairy cows we have in Shanghai. We mostly use Holsteins imported from abroad and crossbreed them with our local cattle to create black and white spotted cattle."
"This is also the main dairy cow breed in our country. Currently, a cow can produce up to 6,000 kilograms of milk per year. Currently, 70% of the fresh milk supply in Shanghai comes from this type of cow."
"The rest are buffaloes and cattle raised by scattered production teams. These are not dairy cattle and their annual milk production is not high."
"So if you want to build a dairy farm, it would be best to directly introduce these black and white cattle."
"We have a breed of cattle on our farm, and their milk production is definitely higher than that of the Dengchuan cattle."
Su Wenchen was still in deep thought here. When Yang Fusheng heard what Zhang Qianjin said, he couldn't help but speak.
"Comrade Qianjin, although our Dengchuan cattle only produce 4,000 kilograms of milk annually, the milk fat content is the highest, reaching over 6%!"
"The milk produced by other cows has a fat content of only 3% or 4%. Even in foreign countries, most of the milk is only above 5%."
"So your hybrid black and white cattle are definitely far behind us in this respect."
Obviously seeing that Su Wenchen was interested in their cattle, Yang Fusheng naturally didn't want Zhang Qianjin to snatch the opportunity away.
After all, apart from dairy products, the only thing they can show off is cattle.
Otherwise, Blue Water Farm wouldn’t be interested in anything else.
Although he was very grateful to Zhang Qianjin for introducing Su Wenchen to him, he still had to compete for the benefit of his own farm.
When Zhang Qianjin heard this, he rolled his eyes.
"What's the point of having a high milk fat percentage? High yield is the real deal. Besides, your cows won't adapt to the plains!"
"Otherwise, why can't we get off the plateau?"
When Yang Fusheng heard this, he immediately retorted.
"Of course it works. A high fat content means more nutrition. Otherwise, why is milk with high fat content so expensive internationally?"
"As for being unable to get down from the plateau, isn't the Ministry working on that right now?"
"And I believe that after we wait, not only will the output not decrease, it might even increase!"
For Yang Fusheng.
The dairy cows on their farm are their pride, because every year they can use various dairy products to exchange for various industrial products in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing. So when he heard what Zhang Qianjin said, he naturally felt very uncomfortable.
However, he also knew that what Zhang Qianjin said was correct. In terms of the average annual milk production of cows, they were indeed not good enough. As the leader of a farm that mainly raised dairy cows, he naturally understood the annual production of mainstream dairy cows in the world.
They also knew that the Holstein cow, the world's highest-yielding dairy cow, had an annual output of 12,000 kilograms per cow, which was more than three times theirs.
However, in China, the milk production of the imported ones has been halved due to their adaptation to the environment, so they are not much better than them.
He felt they still had some advantages.
Su Wenchen, on the other hand, was lost in thought as he listened to the conversation between the two.
In Su Wenchen's opinion, the Dengchuan cattle on Yang Fusheng's farm are undoubtedly a high-quality local dairy cow.
Its high milk fat content is among the best among international dairy cow breeds.
This is probably the reason why the ministries have always wanted to bring this kind of Dengchuan cattle down from the high altitude. Otherwise, as the leader of a county-level state-owned farm, he should not be here.
Of course, he thought it was unsuccessful, because the mainstream dairy cows Su Wenchen saw later were still black and white cattle.
So now, he is even more interested in Dengchuan cattle with a high milk fat content.
Because at present, the main population of their country is still concentrated in the plains.
Milk, on the other hand, has a very short shelf life.
Therefore, if you continue to raise cattle at high altitudes, then in this era, most places will not be able to get milk unless it is made into dairy products.
Not to mention the nutrients lost during dairy processing, the additional manpower and material resources alone are beyond the reach of most places.
Therefore, the most realistic approach is to build dairy farms around the city and then directly supply fresh milk to nearby areas.
But what Zhang Qianjin said also makes sense. At present, quantity is definitely prioritized over quality.
Because the current milk supply is mostly only available around Beijing, Shanghai and major provincial capitals, and even in these cities not everyone can get it.
It mainly supplies infants, young children, and special groups such as hospitals.
Su Wenchen believes that if one wants to get involved in dairy farming, one must pay attention to both milk fat rate and output. From this perspective, Dengchuan cattle are undoubtedly a very good local cattle breed.
And milk was the last piece of the puzzle he was trying to solve at the time.
As long as this issue is resolved, the basic meat, eggs and milk will be complete in this era, and large-scale fertilizer production lines have also been introduced in advance.
With the increase in food production.
The supply of meat, eggs and milk to children born in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s will definitely increase significantly.
Apart from anything else, with the three basic necessities of life in hand, I might be able to become a big boss in the agricultural system in the future.
From this perspective, Su Wenchen felt that meeting Comrade Yang Fusheng at this time was really a timely relief.
After all, the breeding cycle of cattle is longer than that of pigs, so preparations must be made in advance. However, his main focus in the future is to develop the land in the Yellow River flood area.
So I can't devote 100% of my energy to it.
After a moment, Su Wenchen rolled his eyes and saw that Yang Fusheng and Zhang Qianjin were still arguing.
interrupted.
"Okay, you two stop arguing about this."
"Why are you still fighting like a child, trying to win or lose?"
"Come on, one chicken drumstick each, and be quiet for a moment."
As he said this, he took the two chicken legs that the master had left for him in his teacup and put one into each of their lunch boxes.
Yang Fusheng quickly stopped him.
"No, no, Comrade Su, how can this be possible!"
"This is what the canteen chef left for you to nourish your body. How can he give it to us?"
Su Wenchen smiled and shook his head.
"I'm so young, why should I bother replenishing my body? Besides, I have a big jar of chicken soup!"
Yang Fusheng still refused.
"That's not appropriate!"
Zhang Qianjin looked at the two people's refusal and suddenly became suspicious.
He has had a lot of dealings with Su Wenchen.
So Zhang Qianjin knew very well that from the very beginning when he met Su Wenchen, he had never taken advantage of him directly.
Even if I thought I got the upper hand at the time.
Looking back, it seems that the other party has gained more advantage.
Just like the white pig incident.
At that time, he thought he could earn a favor from Su Wenchen for nothing, but later he found out that he did earn a favor, but the other person earned more.
He knew it from the moment the meeting started in the morning when he let the other party speak alone.
It is estimated that in a few years, the other party will enter the ministry. When he meets him then, he will probably have to respectfully call him Director Su of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, or Director Su of the General Office.
So when he saw Su Wenchen being so polite to Yang Fusheng, he immediately became suspicious, because he felt that he obviously had other intentions.
He thought it was most likely that he was attracted by the other person's cow.
However, he was a little unconvinced, because the black and white cattle on their farm were the ones he personally selected and introduced from the breed that currently produces the most milk.
It is a hybrid breed with the Holstein cattle, which currently has the highest production in the world and is also the breed with the highest milk production. Why do you look down on their cattle breeds and instead look up to the Dengchuan cattle, which have a lower production than theirs?
So does milk fat content matter?
Isn’t it all milk?
So Zhang Qianjin said directly.
"Brother Achen, I think you should introduce the current mainstream black and white cattle!"
"After all, this has been verified by various dairy farms. Didn't you say that your branch farm mainly grows alfalfa?"
"This is high-quality forage for cows. Maybe the milk production will be higher then!"
"Their Dengchuan cattle usually have severe reactions when they come down to the plateau, so even if your farm is very good at hybrid breeding.
"It's impossible to transport it, there's nothing you can do!"
"Are you planning to open a branch there?"
Hearing Zhang Qianjin say this, Yang Fusheng sighed and agreed.
"Comrade Su, Comrade Qianjin is right. At present, there will be severe reactions after leaving the plateau."
"Even if your breeding abilities are amazing, it's meaningless until the calf is born."
Su Wenchen smiled and shook his head.
"Comrade Yang does have a point, but the high milk fat content of your Dengchuan cattle is indeed a great advantage in my opinion."
"But what Brother Qianjin said is not wrong. The adaptability of Dengchuan cattle is indeed not suitable for breeding in plains."
Then Su Wenchen changed the subject and said directly.
“But there is a solution.”
Yang Fusheng was stunned.
"Comrade Su, do you have a solution?"
To be honest, the main purpose of their coming here this time was to solve the problem of the survival of Dengchuan cattle after they came down from the altitude.
But after two days of discussion, we found that there seemed to be no good solution.
You can only pull a few more cows and let them endure it on their own. There will always be cows with strong resistance that will survive.
Su Wenchen nodded.
"I have a preliminary idea!"
After saying that, he placed his teacup in the center of the table.
"This is your Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau!"
After saying that, he pushed the slightly shorter aluminum lunch box in front of him forward.
"This is the Bashu Basin!"
Then he pointed to the place where the two sides touched each other.
"This is Panzhihua City, the transition zone between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Bashu Basin."
"I saw it once when I was sorting through map data. The altitude over there is slightly lower, only a little over a thousand meters."
"It's lower than your Eryuan, but higher than the plains."
"Since the altitude difference is not particularly significant, if we coordinate a group of pregnant cows to overgrow here, they will most likely be able to adapt."
After saying that, he pointed to the top of the lunch box.
"Once the calves have adapted a bit, we can move them down to the Bashu Plain, which is about 500 meters above sea level."
Finally, Su Wenchen tapped the desktop with his finger.
"After adapting, it will be the final step to leave Sichuan and be directly introduced to the North China Plain."
Su Wenchen stretched out his fingers and planned.
"We can gradually reduce the altitude over two or three generations, and perhaps we can bring the Dengchuan cattle down from the plateau in good health while retaining their high milk fat characteristics."
"The rest will be handed over to our farm. If we can breed a breed of cattle with high milk production and high fat content, you can also introduce them back to us."
Zhang Qianjin frowned.
"Two or three generations, which means it will probably take four or five years!"
"Besides, this is a bit too much manpower and material resources!"
"Can it be done with just our two farms?"
When Su Wenchen heard Zhang Qianjin's subconscious intention to participate, he did not refuse.
He just narrowed his eyes and said to Yang Fusheng.
"Comrade Yang, what do you think of my idea?"
Although Yang Fusheng was very excited when he heard this, he knew the situation of their farm.
There is no problem in producing some cattle, but he certainly does not have the ability to coordinate this kind of cross-provincial transportation, which also requires local transition.
So just say it directly.
"We can provide the cattle, but you have to coordinate with local departments afterwards."
After all, Yang Fusheng knew very well that if Lanshui Farm, as a state-owned farm, came forward to coordinate with local departments, they might give them face, but if they came forward, it was likely that others would ignore them.
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Yes, I will contact the government and try my best to coordinate some special funding support. If the initial breeding pilot in Panzhihua is successful, and if our farm succeeds in breeding and improving the Dengchuan cattle, we can share it directly with the three of you."
When Yang Fusheng heard this, his breathing became rapid.
Coordinating special funding support from ministries and commissions means having fixed funding and political achievements!
Moreover, with Blue Water Farm currently having the top breeding capabilities in the country, the probability of subsequent results is extremely high.
But he hasn't said anything yet.
Zhang Qianjin on the other side was a little dumbfounded.
Because he heard Su Wenchen say that the final results would be shared directly by the three parties.
But which three parties are these?
It is certain that the first two are Blue Water Farm and Eryuan Farm.
Then this third party is most likely a local department in Sichuan!
After all, we have to pass by their place and establish a breeding base there, which definitely requires local support.
And since they haven’t produced anything, it seems that they are not qualified to be the first batch to share the success!
Thinking of this, he stared at Su Wenchen with wide eyes.
"Brother, what about us? What should we do?"
"I can also help out on the farm!"
Zhang Qianjin knew very well that this was not just a matter of sharing the results. As long as he participated in this training program and succeeded, he would be able to gain some political achievements.
After all, they don't have the breeding capabilities of Blue Water Farm, although the dairy cows bred by Blue Water Farm may not have as much influence as the white pigs.
However, considering the current urgent need for milk supply in the country, it is still a significant political achievement.
This opportunity is something that can only be encountered by chance. If he had not seized it, he would have wasted his name.
When Su Wenchen heard this, he waved his hand deliberately.
"Brother, we are no longer related. Don't worry, as long as we train him, you can just say a word when the time comes."
"I have forgotten everyone, but I can forget you!"
"Don't worry, brother, just wait in Shanghai to share the results."
Zhang Qianjin looked at Su Wenchen suspiciously and spoke directly and righteously.
"Brother Achen, who do you think I, Zhang Qianjin, am?"
"How can I, Zhang Qianjin, eat food given out of pity?"
"How is that possible? We must contribute. Just tell us, brother. As long as we can contribute to the farm, we will definitely do our best."
Su Wenchen shook his head.
"Brother, why are you doing this? Isn't it better to wait and share the results?"
Zhang Qianjin refused directly.
"How can this be possible? If you don't know, it's fine. But if I knew, I would still be waiting to share the results with peace of mind. How can I still face you?"
"Brother, just assign me some work!"
After saying this, I acted as if to say, "I understand everything. Don't even think about getting rid of me."
After hearing this, Su Wenchen felt that it was enough and he could not refuse any longer, so he pretended to be reluctant.
"Alright then!"
"I also know that, brother, you are not the type of person who would share success without contributing. This is definitely not your style at Qianjin Farm."
"But I can't let you suffer too much, so let's do this!"
"Eryuan Farm will arrange for the cattle, and I'll be in charge of negotiating with government departments to secure policy support. Brother, you can go and coordinate with the Sichuan and Shu departments to secure support from local departments."
"If the three of us work together, I believe we can breed new dairy cows that meet top international standards."
As soon as Su Wenchen finished speaking, Yang Fusheng nodded frequently.
"I agree, Comrade Su. I will definitely select the best batch of Dengchuan cattle when I get back and prepare them for pregnancy in advance."
Zhang Qianjin was a little dumbfounded.
"ah!"
"No, let me go to coordinate with Sichuan and Shu?"
Scratching his head, Zhang Qianjin suddenly felt something was wrong. This seemed different from what he thought. Did he fall into a trap?
All he wanted was to send some people to help and get some credit.
Going out to coordinate with the local authorities is very troublesome and requires a lot of interpersonal skills, and you may even have to give something before you can reach an agreement.
Su Wenchen raised his eyebrows and said deliberately.
"How about, Brother Qianjin, you coordinate with the ministries and commissions to get support? I'll go coordinate with the local departments in Sichuan and Shu?"
Zhang Qianjin felt even more upset after hearing this. He went to the ministries to ask for policies?
He doesn't even know anyone, who can he go to?
If he had that ability, wouldn't he have asked for it long ago?
It’s not that he doesn’t know people. He definitely knows the leader, but what’s the use if the leader doesn’t know him.
Although he is now at the same level as Su Wenchen, he knows that it just means they receive the same salary.
There is a huge gap between the two in terms of status and ceiling.
In the farm system of Shanghai, he is indeed considered the top figure.
But in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the highest agricultural department in the country that integrates agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and forestry, it is really insignificant.
