After dinner, the two brothers took a walk along the road outside the school to help them digest their food.
The two of them were indeed quite full, and since it was still early, they listened as Mo Yuan gradually explained the recent situation at home.
Upon learning about Mo Yougan's family situation, Mo Qiang clenched his fists, clearly very excited.
In the end, Mo Yuan declined his second brother's invitation to go back to the dormitory to rest.
Things are different now; there's no need to skimp on accommodation fees. Mo Yuan found a guesthouse.
I made an appointment with my second brother to have breakfast at the school gate early the next morning, and then the two brothers parted ways.
Nothing happened that night. Having eaten and drunk his fill, Mo Yuan slept soundly and felt refreshed the next day.
After having dinner with my second brother, I went with him to find his teacher. Upon hearing Mo Qiang's introduction, the teacher was very enthusiastic.
"Oh, you must be Mo Qiang's younger brother. I've already heard about what happened last time. Is that why you're here? Come on, I'll take you to see Teacher Yan. She's an expert in animal husbandry at our school. You can talk to her about the specific issues!"
Following my second brother's teacher, we arrived at an office. Teacher Liu got straight to the point and introduced Mo Yuan's situation.
The other party was somewhat surprised to see that Mo Yuan was so young. This kind of thing is usually something that older people with more experience are interested in.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yuan, at only twenty years old, would actually take the time to specifically seek out the agricultural school to inquire about this matter.
However, the other party was still very enthusiastic and warmly entertained Mo Yuan!
Especially Teacher Liu, who got straight to the point, "Mo Yuan, you're Mo Qiang's younger brother, and he's my prized student, so I won't beat around the bush. I have class later, so I have to leave after I finish speaking. I don't know if your brother told you, but what I mean is, if you want to plant on a large scale, we can provide you with seedlings, but it's best to wait until autumn after the leaves have fallen, or next spring, otherwise, it will greatly affect the survival rate!"
Of course, one thing is one thing, but this costs money, and since there's no precedent for private procurement, I can't approve too much for you! Think it over, and have your second brother contact them later. Alright, Teacher Yan, you two discuss the rest, we'll be leaving now!
After saying that, he took Mo Qiang and left to go to class!
Only Mo Yuan, looking embarrassed, and Teacher Yan, sitting opposite him, were left behind.
The other person looked to be in his forties, and was very kind and approachable. To avoid an awkward silence,
Mo Yuan spoke first.
"Teacher Yan, I'm sure you heard my intention just now. Nowadays, the country encourages individuals to start their own businesses. Last year alone, 100,000 individual business licenses were issued. We live in the countryside, and there aren't many good opportunities for development. I'm thinking of raising some poultry like chickens, ducks, and geese, or livestock like pigs and sheep, to supplement my family's income. But I don't know which specific breeds are suitable, and if I want to expand the scale in the future, I'll need some professional and standardized knowledge. So I would like to ask you for some guidance!"
Teacher Yan, sitting across from me, was surprised that a rural child from a small mountain village could have such a broad perspective; his speech was also sincere and confident.
He was even more natural than some of his students, and his appreciation was genuine. Jiahang Moyuan's attitude was indeed very pleasing.
As a teacher, Mo Yuan's question happened to fall within his area of expertise, so he patiently explained it to Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuancai learned that current conditions, based primarily on conventional methods, could not match the conditions of later generations. Therefore, for chicken farming under natural conditions, it was best to hatch chicks in spring or autumn.
Chicks are unlikely to survive if they are not properly cared for in cold winters or hot summers. Therefore, it is more suitable to start in spring or autumn when the climate is mild and the air humidity is suitable.
Mo Yuan had a general understanding of this. He only knew that if they weren't taken care of properly, the chicks would easily die in the summer or at other times.
Or perhaps there's some kind of chicken plague, so it's not suitable for large-scale farming right now.
Furthermore, the other party mentioned that, similar to the previous issue with Teacher Liu, even if it were possible, they wouldn't dare provide it to Mo Yuan on a large scale.
Because there is no precedent for this, they need to study it carefully.
However, if it's a small-scale operation, she can make the decision. She can provide Mo Yuan with a batch of chicks that they've been observing.
These plants are already half-grown and a batch needs to be disposed of. Usually, they are sold to nearby farmers.
There happens to be a batch that needs to be disposed of, and Mo Yuan wants it; we can buy it at a low price! Mo Yuan naturally agreed readily and expressed his gratitude repeatedly!
Moreover, Teacher Yan provided Mo Yuan with some news that made him ecstatic.
As for piglets, their school actually has a batch now. A couple of years ago, the country imported a batch of young white piglets from Berkshire, England.
Now, after being crossbred with local pigs, a new breed has been successfully developed.
However, it is still necessary to verify and observe the growth of this batch of piglets. In the past, the school would raise a portion of them themselves.
They then tried to subcontract the work to nearby farmers, but this had a drawback: most of the farmers were illiterate.
They knew absolutely nothing about how to raise pigs scientifically, let alone how to monitor and record data in real time.
So the results were very poor. Now, seeing that Mo Yuan speaks eloquently and is also educated, and that such a young man is interested in this matter,
This suddenly gave Teacher Yan a new idea.
If Mo Yuan could help record and observe the piglets' growth, and if he could establish a long-term partnership with the school,
They were willing to provide a batch of piglets for free; however, this new breed had not yet been market-tested.
There are certain risks involved, and they need to be carefully considered.
“Teacher Yan, I want it! I want it all! I’ll take as much as you can provide, I’m not afraid of the risks! And if it’s really not suitable for me to work alone, I can also find a way to discuss it with our village committee and we can cooperate in the name of the collective!”
Mo Yuan said decisively, without any regard for the risks mentioned by Teacher Yan.
After Teacher Yan mentioned the place name Berkshire in England...
Mo Yuan knew exactly what these newly bred piglets, which hadn't yet been market-tested, were.
In later generations, farmers' markets were filled with large white pigs!
