Threshing ground.
During the morning meeting, the team leader began to assign work to everyone.
Now everyone’s work focus is on the pig farm.
Professor Liu's piglets are still waiting to be delivered, and they need to build the pig farm before that.
Then there’s the matter of the pig farm team leader.
Zhou Ziwen was unwilling to work part-time, so he could only be elected through voting.
Although Wu Dagang and the team leader both thought Li Lei was suitable, for the sake of fairness, they decided to let the villagers decide for themselves.
Even with their support, if Li Lei still cannot become the team leader, then it is a problem of ability.
At the morning meeting, the team leader cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, our next main task is to build the pig farm. Professor Liu has already prepared the piglets, and we must prepare everything before the piglets arrive."
The villagers nodded in understanding. They all knew the importance of the pig farm; it was the village's new hope.
"While we're building the pig farm, we also need to select a capable team leader. If anyone feels they can handle this job, please come and sign up with me. The election will be held tonight."
When everyone heard that they were going to elect a pig farm team leader, they were very surprised. They thought that Zhou Ziwen would be the team leader!
Someone in the crowd immediately asked, "Team leader, why isn't Zhou Zhiqing the team leader? He's so capable. He's such a great mushroom farmer, so he can definitely manage a pig farm well, too."
Others also echoed: "Yes, captain, Zhou Ziwen has high prestige in the village and everyone respects him. He is the most suitable person to be the team leader."
The team leader waved his hand and explained, "I understand everyone's thoughts. Ziwen is indeed very talented, but he's the leader of the mushroom team. Things are already busy enough at the base, and he really doesn't have the energy to take on the position of pig farm leader as well. We have to consider the actual situation and not let him get too tired. That would be bad for both projects."
After listening to the team leader's explanation, the villagers felt a little sorry but also expressed their understanding.
At the same time, some people with high prestige in the village began to have ideas.
The discussions in the crowd gradually died down, but some people who usually had prestige and ability in the village began to exchange glances with each other and had their own thoughts in their minds.
The position of team leader in the village is very important, just like the team leader of a production team, each of them has hundreds of people under his command.
You don't have to do any work, you just need to arrange the tasks assigned by the team leader.
The status of the team leader is similar to that of the team leader. Depending on the size of the pig farm, the team leader may even have more power.
After all, this is an important new development project in the village. These thoughtful people are secretly calculating their own advantages and opportunities.
One of the villagers was named Wang Fugui. He came from a well-off family and had many brothers and sisters. He felt that he had a chance to compete for the position of team leader.
There is also a man named Zhao Youcai, who is an old hunter in the village. Although he doesn't talk much, he feels that he has rich experience in survival in the wild and understanding of animal habits, which may be helpful in the management of the pig farm. He also has a certain prestige in the village. After all, many villagers have eaten the prey he hunted.
And Li Lei, when he came to gather in the morning, Wu Dagang had already talked to him, and he also felt that this was a good opportunity.
At this time, the team leader spoke again: "Everyone, please think carefully about this. This is an important position related to the development of our village's pig farming industry. We will hold the election here tonight. I hope everyone will treat it with caution."
After saying that, the team leader left the threshing ground and went to check the progress of the pig farm construction.
The villagers also dispersed, and those who were interested in competing for the position of group leader began to actively prepare. Some were building relationships, and some were thinking about their campaign speeches, all hoping to win in the election that evening.
After the meeting, Zhou Ziwen brought the members assigned to him by the team leader yesterday to the mill to continue the production of biological feed.
They had already crushed the grass and prepared the bio-fermenter yesterday. Now they just needed to mix the bio-fermenter into the grass according to the proportion, stir it evenly, and wait for fermentation.
Generally speaking, the fermentation time of biological feed in winter is fifteen days, and the fermentation time in summer is about five days.
The temperature is neither too high nor too low these days, so it will probably only take seven or eight days.
While Zhou Ziwen was instructing the members in their operations, he was also carefully observing the condition of the feed.
"Everyone should stir it evenly to ensure that every part of the grass can be fully fermented." Zhou Ziwen reminded the members.
The members all followed Zhou Ziwen's instructions carefully. They had never seen such a high-end thing as biological feed.
Now they are operating under the guidance of Zhou Ziwen, and in their view, this is all technology.
Although the process of making biological feed is somewhat cumbersome, everyone is full of enthusiasm. If they learn how to make biological feed, they can make it themselves and raise pigs in the future.
In the mill, everyone worked together and quickly completed the mixing and stirring of the biological feed.
In fact, mushrooms are not particularly suitable for making biological feed.
If you want to produce on a large scale in the future, you will need to build a special fermentation tank.
The pig farm was just being built, and Zhou Ziwen had already planned the location.
Seeing that the biological feed was almost ready, Zhou Ziwen didn't plan to stay here any longer.
He asked the members to clean up the scene and then went to report to the team leader.
These members were borrowed by him temporarily. The work on biological feed was temporarily finished, and the next step was to wait for fermentation.
When we arrived at the pig farm construction site, the members were busy working.
Under the command of the team leader, the members divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some were carrying construction materials, some were building walls, and some were digging holes.
Everyone had sweat on their face, but they were full of energy because they knew that this was for the future development of the village.
"Ziwen, are you done with your work over there?" The captain asked with concern when he saw Zhou Ziwen coming over.
"Uncle Zhou, the biological feed is almost ready. The next step is to wait for it to ferment. Once it's fermented, it can be used."
While answering the team leader's questions, Zhou Ziwen observed the progress of the pig farm's construction.
Although it was only two days, the pigpen territory had been fenced off.
In order to make the pig farm stronger, the pig pens are built with stones.
There is strength in numbers. These days, most of the people in the production team are here, and only a small number are busy working in the fields.
It is a rare scene to see three or four hundred people working together.
Apart from this group, the busiest group is the stonemason group.
In order to complete the construction of the pig farm as soon as possible, Master Chen is leading his team of stonemasons to work overtime.
Fortunately, they were only responsible for processing the stones, and the subsequent transportation work was naturally handled by other members. (End of this chapter)
