The Revolutionary Committee members were also taken aback after hearing this.
Isn't this a warning to them not to act recklessly? Zhao Youcai has powerful backers in the Revolutionary Committee who are not to be trifled with.
That's overthinking it.
On the surface, the trigger for this incident was the collapse of the farm scandal.
The real reason was that their Revolutionary Committee, because Zhao Youcai had the military region behind him, targeted Director Zhu, a powerless and low-status farm manager who offered generous gifts every year, in order to curry favor with Zhao Youcai.
He handed over the private farm directly to Zhao Youcai.
They used to receive a lot of bribes from Director Zhu. If they didn't want any benefits, even a fool wouldn't cut off their own source of income.
However, they still said some polite words, "Captain Qi is overthinking it. Only when the towns below are stable can our colleagues in the county seat work more comfortably."
Zhao Youcai ignored the two men's barbed exchanges; his mind was preoccupied with his new plans for the farm.
After what happened with Director Zhu, Zhao Youcai certainly couldn't afford to make the same mistake again with epidemics and food safety.
If I were to take over the farm, the first thing I would do is to re-divide the breeding areas.
In Zhao Youcai's view, animals like chickens, ducks, and geese should not be too close to large animals like pigs and cattle.
It doesn't seem like a problem now, but once this batch of pigs and cattle is sold, and the next batch of animals is brought in, the hot weather could easily cause cross-infection.
Although the cleaning staff at the farm are diligent, none of them would clean the pens under the scorching midday sun.
Therefore, it is essential to leave sufficient isolation zones and set up disinfection areas in the middle.
As for necessities such as disinfectant, Zhao Youcai studied animal husbandry before he transmigrated and planned to make some money to open a pet hospital after graduation, since that industry was extremely profitable.
I had a crush on a girl from another university's department who was very beautiful, and I even took materials science as an elective.
Although I'm not very good at it, I can still tinker with common items like protective suits and disposable work clothes.
Secondly, we need to return to Zhaojiagou and talk to the village head and other village officials about the arrangements for Director Zhu of the breeding farm after he committed a crime and was imprisoned.
After all, the contract with the farm has expired, and a new contract needs to be signed.
Zhao Youcai knew Zhao Jiagou well, and after working together for a while, he had a pretty good understanding of the people in each household.
This time, the cooperation agreement wasn't signed with everyone in the village, but with thirty households that he personally selected.
As for Li Dafu and Li Erfu, who had caused trouble for us before, let's just leave them be. Even if we raise two fewer pigs, we won't give them any chance.
The farm area is quite large. It would be feasible for Zhao Youcai's family to move here and build a few two-story houses on a vacant lot not far from the farm.
As for Zhao Youcai's homestead in the village, Zhao Youcai has no intention of selling it.
No matter what time it is, you always have to have your hometown; it's the last resort for the whole family.
However, a house cannot remain empty forever; a house without people will deteriorate quickly.
The instant noodle factory isn't going to be big yet, and there's no rush to find a location. For now, we'll use our home as the factory. Once everyone in the family moves out, we'll knock down the walls of the connected rooms and turn them into a warehouse and processing workshop for storing instant noodles.
Several relatives also set up a supply point, because the raw materials collected from Zhaojiagou specifically for feeding animals were not enough.
Apart from the second daughter-in-law's family, all other connections were utilized.
Ideally, he should promote them all so that they can all become valuable assets in his business empire.
Zhao Youcai understood the principle that one tree cannot make a forest; it is always better to work closely with trustworthy people.
There's only one thing Zhao Youcai must remind them of.
When it comes to money, it's best to settle every single transaction clearly. Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts to maintain a good relationship, let alone those who aren't blood relatives.
Human nature is the most vulnerable thing, and you can't expect to get a sincere heart in return.
The transfer of ownership of the breeding farm was completed quickly. Around 3 p.m., Zhao Youcai became the manager of the only breeding farm in the town.
When the village officials of Zhaojiagou heard the news, they almost fell off their stools, and the brigade leader was so excited that he couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing that his drool was flowing more and more, and was even forming a line that was falling to the ground, Zhao Youcai finally realized what was happening.
"Third brother! Quickly get the village doctor over here. Tell him the brigade leader has dislocated his jaw."
Zhao Youcai had always thought that the phrase "jaw-dropping" was an exaggeration, but he never expected that the captain would show him with his actions that the phrase "jaw-dropping" was actually true.
After the village doctor came over, he reached out and pressed down on the brigade leader's head with one hand, and grabbed the brigade leader's chin with the other.
With just two clicks, the captain's mouth was finally able to close.
"Didn't I already tell you? Next time something like this happens, remember to support your chin with your hand before opening your mouth. If your chin dislocates frequently, it can easily become a habit."
The captain couldn't be the one to fix the chin; if he did it wrong and the chin became paralyzed, it would be even more troublesome.
The captain knew he shouldn't be so agitated, but the matter had come so suddenly that he completely forgot to rest his chin on his hand.
"Okay, I'll make you something to hold it in place. Just wear it over your ears to keep your chin in place, and please don't take it off."
The captain was actually quite resistant, after all, his grandson had been making a fuss about his grandfather wearing a bib ever since the last time he saw him.
This thing is very different from a bib. Who wears a bib that hangs on their ears?
But all the children in the village liked to play with his grandson, and within a few days the word spread to other villages.
Last time he went to town for a meeting with the other village leaders, he held his chin high, waiting for others to fawn over him. What can you do when Zhao Youcai comes from your village?
Unfortunately, few people flattered him, but many made fun of him.
A perfectly good opportunity to gain prestige by relying on Zhao Youcai was ruined by a "drool towel".
When the brigade leader saw that the village doctor had come up with this new contraption, his first reaction was to resist it.
"What? You really want to lose control of your jaw and go out to perform a dislocated jaw for the other village chiefs?"
We're all from the same village, who doesn't know who?
Zhao Youcai knew immediately that something must have happened that he didn't know about.
Their eager, gossipy eyes were so bright that the captain couldn't ignore them at all.
Thinking that Zhao Youcai was now the new manager of the breeding farm, and that this wasn't the first time he had tried to curry favor with him.
It's just embarrassing, it's no big deal!
...
Fengjiawazi.
In the main house of the second son's wife's family home, the old man sat crookedly on the kang (a heated brick bed), puffing away on his pipe, filling the room with smoke.
After learning from the village head that Zhao Youcai was now the new manager of the breeding farm, the whole family looked worried.
"well!"
After an unknown amount of time, the old man finally sat up straight and gave an order.
