The director of logistics, whose surname was Fang, personally took Shen Anyan to the pig farm.
Those pigs looked to weigh about 100 pounds. The pigpen was quite small, with six pigs squeezed into one pen, leaving little space for movement.
But the pigsty was kept very clean.
When they came to visit, they happened to see two retired veterans coming back from cutting grass for pigs.
One veteran had a missing left arm, another had a missing left ear, and his left eye was replaced with a fake eyeball that wouldn't move at all.
Their skin is tanned, their expressions are somewhat serious, and their eyes look a little fierce when they look at people.
Shen Anyui was a little afraid of them, so he hid next to Shen Anyian and grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly.
The two veterans were so perceptive that they noticed Shen Anyui's actions and their expressions became even colder.
"Lao Fang, what are you doing bringing the kid here?"
Director Fang was not arrogant in front of them and said cheerfully: "This is our unit's technician, Comrade Shen. She has run a breeding farm and is very experienced.
The brigade commander asked Comrade Shen to come over so that she could see if our pig farm could be expanded.
Comrade Shen, this is Lao Yang and Lao Liang from our farm."
Shen Annian: ...
She really didn't know that she had been promoted to a technician.
This Director Fang is even more deceptive than her.
"Comrade Yang, Comrade Liang, hello."
The two veterans obviously didn't believe what Director Fang said. They looked at Shen An from head to toe and read it again, "She?"
Why does this suspicious tone make people feel so uncomfortable?
Shen Annian straightened his back and said, "Yes, it's me."
"What are you capable of? How do you want to teach us how to raise pigs?"
Being swept by Lao Yang's gaze, Shen Annian's momentum was reduced by three points.
It's not that she is useless, it's just that their aura is too intimidating.
If she guessed correctly, the aura they exuded could be called murderous.
That is the murderous aura that only those who have been baptized by blood and emerged from a sea of corpses and blood can have.
Director Fang scolded them, "Don't scare the little girl, you two."
Old Yang snorted, "You still want to teach us how to raise pigs. How can you teach us how to raise pigs if you're so afraid of us?"
Shen Annian said: “You have raised the pigs very well, and it can be seen that you are very attentive.
But from my point of view, there are indeed some places that can be adjusted appropriately, such as the pigpen here is too small and the pigs' activity range is too small.
When the density of pigs is too high, the most common symptoms are pigs fighting and tail biting.
It is also prone to breeding bacteria, inducing infectious diseases in pigs, such as foot-and-mouth disease, and affecting pig production.”
Old Yang: "It's not that serious. We've always raised him like this and he's never had any problems like this. You're the only one finding fault right away."
They saw that there were few pigs, and it would be more troublesome to clean up if they were separated.
To save trouble, they put the pigs in one pigpen so that they would have one less pigsty to clean.
The girl started by saying that the hygiene was not in place. Isn't she questioning whether they were lazy?
So how could his tone possibly improve?
Director Fang saw that Shen Annian spoke very clearly and had already approved of her in his heart.
However, he also knew that it was useless for him to agree with her. The pig farm was under the charge of Lao Yang and his men. If he wanted them to listen to Shen Annian, he had to convince them.
So he didn't say anything, wanting to see how Shen Anyan would solve it.
Shen Annian: "I don't mean to say that you two are bad, you two have done your job very well.
This is what we usually do when we raise pigs at home.
However, I went to a breeding farm to learn more scientific breeding methods, with the aim of increasing pig production as much as possible.
Therefore, the requirements in all aspects will be more stringent, which is also the meaning of learning."
Her words sounded much nicer, and the two men's expressions looked a little better.
"Scientific pig farming? What kind of scientific method is that? We've never heard of it."
"That's why Commander Zhou asked me to come here to assist you two. Together we can make the pig farm bigger and better."
She kept a low profile, and since she was a young girl, Lao Yang and the others wouldn't embarrass her, so she didn't say anything.
Director Fang nodded secretly. This girl had her own way of dealing with them. She knew that they would respond to soft tactics but not hard ones.
“Comrade Shen, to what scale do you plan to expand the pig farm?”
"If I tell you, you're not allowed to laugh at me.
I think our pig farm can not only provide the soldiers with the daily meat needs, but also provide pork to the county town and the grocery stores in nearby counties and cities."
Director Fang was surprised by her imagination. "How large a scale would that require?"
"In Heng City, the No. 1 breeding farm has a total of 3,000 pigs. Our scale is probably larger than that."
Director Fang looked at him in amazement. This young comrade really had a bold idea.
Three thousand pigs, how big a place would it take to accommodate them?
"Comrade Shen, are you kidding me? Can our army raise so many pigs? The policy does not allow it."
"The policy has never said that collective pig farming is not allowed. We are now in a planned economy, so there is no problem with collective ownership of pig farming.
The city needed a supply of pork, so there were farms.
The army has so many people, so of course they need pork supplies. Why can't they set up large-scale pig farms?"
Director Fang thought about it and it seemed to be true.
If we set up a large pig farm in the name of the army, there shouldn't be any big problems.
