Chapter 39 I'll Leave It to You Anyway



Gu Yue was still reading, but unlike before, today he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a white shirt.

The afterglow of the setting sun just passed through the window sill and fell on him, giving people a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

He looked up when he heard footsteps, "You're here."

Song Chu was stunned for a moment. This guy would definitely be a male god in the future. He wouldn't need to do anything. He could make his debut just with this face and temperament.

"This is the first time I've seen you wearing glasses, and you look really good."

Gu Yue was slightly stunned. Being praised by her like this, he inexplicably felt in a good mood, yet a little embarrassed.

"I am slightly nearsighted, so I wear it occasionally."

"It smells delicious. What are we eating today?" He asked with a smile as he looked at the basket Song Chu was carrying, without taking off his glasses.

Song Chu took out the food and soup from the basket, "Pheasant and mushroom soup."

"You guys have really good food." Gu Yue discovered that except for the first day, every day Song Chu sent over meals that contained meat.

This is impossible to happen every day, not to mention in the countryside, even in Kyoto.

Song Chu curled his lips and raised his chin, "This is my credit."

Gu Yue laughed: "You are really not modest."

"Can humility make a living?" Song Chu pulled out a chair and sat down.

After more than ten days of contact, Gu Yue also had a general understanding of her personality.

While eating, he said, "You really made a splash today."

Today, people who were more aware of the situation also went to change the oil. After they came back, some people started to speak well of Song Chu, which was contrary to their usual behavior. Some even wanted to work in the oil press workshop.

This shows that Song Chu's first move was correct and successful.

"I can't help it. After all, I'm also a genius student." Song Chu could talk to Gu Yue here more easily. He regarded him as a friend and spoke in a casual manner.

Gu Yue's handsome face was dyed with a smile, and he teased: "Is it Song Xueshen, or Song Village Tyrant?"

Song Chu had an expression that said he was a village bully and was proud of himself. "All of them."

Gu Yue felt relaxed when he was with Song Chu, "Okay, you are awesome."

He smiled and asked, "What are you going to do next? I have all the modification drawings for the oil press ready, and all that's left is to order the accessories."

Song Chu replied: "Don't you know someone at the Provincial Machinery Factory? How about writing a letter and asking them to help make these new parts?"

“There are several parts that I designed that are a bit complicated, but if I mail the drawings to them, they might have trouble making them. I have to go and talk to them in person.” Gu Yue took a sip of the chicken soup, which tasted really delicious.

If he continued to eat like this, he suspected that he would not be able to get used to cooking alone.

Song Chu thought for a moment and said, "Then when your leg is fully healed, let's go to the provincial capital."

"You want to go too?" Gu Yue always felt that it was mainly her who wanted to go.

Song Chu nodded and said, "Well, I want to see if there are any chicken incubators for sale."

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, "Chicken incubator?"

"You don't know?" Song Chu asked back.

Gu Yue shook his head: "I don't know, and I haven't heard of it."

He became interested. "Did you read it in the book in the space laboratory?"

"Yes, there is a book in my space that talks specifically about incubators."

She also felt that the possibility was not very high, but she still planned to go and have a look. However, Gu Yue didn't know, so there was no hope.

Gu Yue said: "Nowadays, chicks are hatched artificially. I can be sure that the thing you mentioned does not exist."

"You want to raise chickens again? Didn't you just raise pigs?" he asked with a smile.

Song Chu said truthfully: "Pig farming is too slow to produce results. It's faster to raise chickens and ducks. The oil residue from the oil press here is getting more and more, and the pigs in the pigsty can't eat it all."

"You want to buy a chick incubator. Do you want to raise chickens on a large scale?" Gu Yue found that Song Chu seemed to have big ambitions.

Song Chu nodded and smiled, "Yeah, what's the point of raising a few dozen of them? If you want to raise them, you need to raise thousands or tens of thousands of them."

Gu Yue reminded, "Raising so many chickens will cause a lot of problems. If you are not careful, they may all die."

It’s okay to raise a few chickens at home, as they are not so easy to get sick. But if there are thousands or tens of thousands of chickens, once a chicken gets sick, it may be contagious and cause large-scale deaths, which will be a huge loss.

Song Chu was familiar with raising poultry. "It's okay. I have scientific methods for raising chickens. I also have some special medicines for chicken vaccination. It's okay to raise too many."

Gu Yue thought for a moment and said, "It may not be that easy for the village to run a chicken farm. Will they agree to you buying thousands of chicks?"

"They will definitely not agree!" Song Chu didn't think that her uncle would let her buy so many chicks. Even if he agreed, the village cadres would not agree. After all, this was not as small as an oil press workshop.

Besides, the village cannot afford to buy so many chicks, and the purchasing channels are also a big problem.

Gu Yue asked curiously, "You know you won't agree to keep her? Do you have any plans?"

Song Chu found that only Gu Yue could keep up with her thinking in these aspects. "I want to buy a chick incubator, but I don't plan to buy chicks. I want to hatch them myself."

"It's impossible to raise tens of thousands of chickens at the beginning. We can start with a few hundred. Once they have grown in number and the villagers can see the benefits and results, we can expand the scale and then apply to become a collective chicken farm."

“As long as the chicken farm is well managed, why worry about the pig farm and duck farm?”

Only by applying to become collectively state-owned can it be sold openly, otherwise it would be speculation.

After listening to her, Gu Yue nodded: "Your plan is good, but it's a pity that there are no chicken incubators for sale outside."

If chicks are bred on a large scale artificially, it will take a long time and the chance of survival is not very high.

Song Chu also thought about this problem again, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly reacted.

She hadn't thought of it before, so why go so far?

She looked up at Gu Yue with a smile, "It doesn't matter if I can't buy it, I still have you."

Gu Yue: “…” I always feel that this woman’s smile has some bad intentions.

"What does this have to do with me?" he asked.

"Aren't you Gu Xueshen? You know so much about mechanics, so making a chicken incubator must be a piece of cake for you." Song Chu praised him as much as he could.

"..." Gu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed like she had been talking for a long time and was waiting for him here.

"What if I can't do it? Do you trust me so much?" he asked with a smile.

Song Chu had a look on his face that said, "You must be confident enough in yourself. I believe you can do it. You must not bring shame to your reputation as the God of Learning, Gu."

"Anyway, I'll leave this chick incubator to you." She hurriedly passed on the blame.

"..." Gu Yue suddenly felt a headache.
