After Fang Suxia returned to her room, Chen Changyuan carefully checked his plan again to make sure that no important details were missed.
He took a deep breath and resolved to implement these improvements as quickly as possible.
The next morning, Chen Changyuan got up while it was still dark.
After a quick wash, he immediately called the workers together and prepared to make adjustments according to the new plan.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Wang,"
Chen Changyuan said to the two older workers, "We need to adjust the layout of the farm."
Uncle Li frowned and asked, "Xiao Chen, didn't we just finish building it? Why do we have to change it again?"
Chen Changyuan explained: "Yesterday I went to a neighboring county to learn some new technologies and found that our layout could be improved. For example, we need to add a more complete disinfection area at the entrance."
Uncle Wang was also puzzled: "But isn't the current layout good enough? Why bother with this?"
Faced with the workers' questions, Chen Changyuan was not annoyed.
He patiently explained to them, "My dear uncles, I know you've all been working hard, but this adjustment is truly important. The new plan will not only improve breeding efficiency but also effectively prevent disease. In the long run, this will save us even more time and energy."
Seeing that Chen Changyuan was so persistent and had good reasons, the workers' attitudes began to soften.
Uncle Li scratched his head and said, "Xiao Chen, since you said so, let's give it a try."
Chen Changyuan smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you all for your trust. I promise that this improvement will take our farm to a higher level."
He then began to detail the new layout plan and arranged for personnel to purchase more suitable equipment.
As the workers listened to Chen Changyuan's talk, admiration gradually appeared in their eyes.
They realized that this young man not only had ideas, but also really put in the effort to learn and improve.
Chen Changyuan took a breath of the cool morning air and felt refreshed.
After determining the division of tasks, he personally led the workers to start dismantling the old fence.
From morning to night, the high-intensity work for several consecutive days made people sweat profusely, but Chen Changyuan did not slack off at all.
Not only did he direct the workers to carry out the construction, he also personally picked up the hammer and knocked down the rotten wooden stakes.
"Xiao Chen, this fence is really hard to remove. It hasn't been moved in years and is as rusty as rock."
Uncle Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and spat.
Chen Changyuan put down the hammer in his hand, looked at the broken wood and iron sheets on the ground, and smiled and comforted him, "Uncle, it's hard work before it's sweet. After we remove these, we will replace them with stainless steel fences. They are not only clean and durable, but also improve safety. It's worth the hard work."
After a short rest, he returned to the site and continued to lead the work.
His clothes were already soaked, and the skin on his palms was a little worn out, but he seemed to have no idea what tiredness was.
Chen Changyuan's unyielding spirit infected the workers, and everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, and no one was lazy.
While leveling the ground, several young workers walked back and forth with pickaxes in their hands, occasionally lowering their heads to measure the direction of the baseline.
Chen Changyuan stood in the center of the venue and instructed them to adjust the height to ensure that the venue was even and level.
"Liu Hai, dig that corner ten centimeters deeper, don't leave it high up."
He shouted.
Liu Hai stopped to wipe his sweat, then smiled innocently and said, "Brother Chen, we've reached the bottom now. It won't be that easy to dig any further!"
"No matter how difficult it is, you should dig a little deeper. If the land is not level, it will be difficult to raise livestock."
Chen Changyuan answered firmly.
Liu Hai pouted, but still did it.
He was not convinced, but he admired Chen Changyuan's seriousness even more.
Every detail on this construction site cannot escape Chen Changyuan's eyes.
Especially the construction of the disinfection area, Chen Changyuan did it himself.
He directed several workers to mix the cement for the disinfection pool and add mineral ash and stone powder in proportion.
Afterwards, he stood by the sink with a detailed mixing chart and personally guided the preparation of the disinfectant.
"Remember, the proportion of disinfectant must be controlled properly. If it's too weak, it won't be effective, and if it's too strong, it will easily corrode equipment."
Chen Changyuan looked serious, mixing the mixture carefully with a measuring cup in his hand.
Uncle Wang stirred the water in the pool and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Chen, such a demanding ratio, can we make it simpler? We don't have such accurate equipment for testing in the countryside."
Chen Changyuan smiled and said in a very serious tone, "Uncle Wang, the equipment in the countryside is simple, that's our reality, but this kind of meticulousness and attention to detail is something we must possess. Nine out of ten problems with farms in neighboring counties are due to inadequate disinfection. As long as I, Chen Changyuan, am here at our Qingshui Village farm, we will absolutely not make such a low-level mistake."
The workers looked at each other and said no more.
After hearing this, they all looked up to the young man in front of them: Chen Changyuan is indeed a rare farmer who can take the lead in work and pays so much attention to details.
In improving the feeding trough, Chen Changyuan once again demonstrated his spirit of striving for excellence.
He removed the old wooden trough and replaced it with a more durable stainless steel one.
This type of trough is easy to clean, not easy to rot, and can keep the food fresh, which is of great significance to the hygiene of aquaculture.
"Xiao Chen, these iron things are hard to make and they're quite expensive. Wouldn't it be nice to use wooden ones?"
Uncle Wang asked with some concern.
Chen Changyuan shook his head and said firmly, "The high cost is only temporary. If we can ensure the health of the animals and prevent them from getting infected, we can save a lot of money on medical treatment and epidemic prevention later on. All in all, stainless steel troughs are actually more cost-effective."
Uncle Wang nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he silently acknowledged Chen Changyuan's foresight in his heart.
This kid from the Chen family is really capable, as he can consider long-term interests and make arrangements in an orderly manner.
At the same time, Chen Changyuan did not relax the improvement of feed formula.
While several workers were busy installing new equipment, he took a bullock cart to visit several feed factories in neighboring towns.
Every factory manager was stunned by his questions: from the protein content of feed to the calorie ratio, the questions he asked were as complicated as those of a professional scholar.
At one of the feed factories, Chen Changyuan listened patiently to the factory director's explanation.
Seeing how focused he was, the factory manager couldn't help but admire him and said, "Xiao Chen, you're such a serious worker. If I have any new feed varieties in the future, I'll tell you first. That's what we call making friends!"
Finally, after several rounds of inspections and trials, Chen Changyuan selected a reputable manufacturer and signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the other party.
The factory director patted his chest and promised, "Boss Chen, don't worry, the feed I give you will never be adulterated."
Chen Changyuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I won't treat my friends unfairly. If the farm has additional needs in the future, I will look for you first for cooperation."
