The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying went to the production team to gather together.

Technician Chen was the protagonist at today's morning meeting.

Wu Dagang and the team leader pulled technician Chen to the stage and introduced them to everyone using an iron loudspeaker.

"Let me introduce to you all. This is technician Chen from the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College. He will provide professional technical guidance for our village's pig farm in the coming days. Welcome everyone!" Wu Dagang said, and was the first to applaud.

The members in the audience also applauded.

"Now, please invite Technician Chen to give a speech."

As he said that, Wu Dagang handed over the iron loudspeaker.

Technician Chen took the iron speaker shyly and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Guowei. I am very happy to come to Dabazi Village and work hard for the pig farming business with you all."

"I will do my best to share the breeding knowledge and techniques I know with everyone, and I hope we can raise Landrace pigs well together."

Chen Guowei's speech was brief and sincere, winning even warmer applause from the members below the stage.

Wu Dagang took the iron trumpet again and continued, "Everyone, Technician Chen is a distinguished guest of our village. His professional knowledge and experience are very valuable to us. I hope that everyone can actively cooperate with Technician Chen's work in the coming days, study breeding techniques seriously, and make our pig farm better and better."

……

The members have a good impression of Technician Chen. They all know that he is an expert sent by the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College specifically to guide them in pig farming.

The team leader also came to the stage and gave a brief speech, in which he emphasized the importance of this cooperation and encouraged everyone to cherish this rare learning opportunity.

After the morning meeting, Zhou Ziwen went to the mushroom cultivation base for a while.

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, he came to the pig farm.

When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the pig farm, Chen Guowei had already started his inspection of the pig house.

He carefully observed the activities and eating habits of each piglet, and recorded the data in his notebook from time to time. Zhou Ziwen was quite satisfied when he saw Chen Guowei's concentration.

As expected of a researcher at the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, he is professional in what he does.

"Technician Chen, do you see any problems with our pig house?" Zhou Ziwen walked up and asked politely.

Chen Guowei raised his head and replied with a smile: "Team Leader Zhou, the overall condition of your pig house is good. It can be seen that you put a lot of effort in its construction."

"Yes, we have invested a lot of energy in building this pig farm." Zhou Ziwen sighed.

"Please rest assured, Team Leader Zhou. Landrace pigs are an excellent breed. As long as they can be successfully bred, I believe they will bring considerable economic benefits to Dabazi Village."

Technician Chen said confidently.

Obviously, he has great confidence in Landrace pigs.

"Well, I also think that raising Landrace pigs is a good choice."

Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.

After chatting with Researcher Chen for a while, our relationship became much closer and we even changed the way we addressed each other.

"By the way, Ziwen, I have seen the biological feed you made, but I don’t know how to use it. Can you teach me?" Chen Guowei asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"Of course." Zhou Ziwen nodded, "Guowei, in fact, the amount of biological feed used is similar to that of ordinary feed, the difference is not that big."

"Is there anything special that we need to pay attention to when using it?" Chen Guowei asked.

"First of all, biological feed must be ensured to be fresh. Once opened, it must be used as soon as possible to avoid prolonged exposure to the air. This will maintain the activity of microorganisms. Secondly, it is best to mix it with a certain proportion of conventional feed, so that pigs can adapt better." Zhou Ziwen explained.

"So that's how it is." Chen Guowei suddenly realized, "So can we use it now?"

Zhou Ziwen nodded. "Sure, we can do a small-scale test first to observe the pigs' acceptance and growth response to the biological feed, and then gradually expand the scope of use based on the situation."

Chen Guowei strongly agreed with this proposal. As a researcher, he is also quite rigorous in his work.

He was really worried that something might go wrong if it was used in large quantities at the beginning.

But if you take it step by step, there won't be any problem.

Even if there are any problems, they can be discovered and adjusted in time.

Then, the two began small-batch experiments.

After feeding the piglets, Zhou Ziwen found Li Lei and discussed the biogas digester with him.

Now that his construction skills were up to snuff, it was time to build a biogas digester.

This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, and we should take advantage of the support from the commune and try to get the biogas digester ready as soon as possible.

If it is too late, it will be difficult to get the materials for building a biogas digester.

The reason why Zhou Ziwen decided to build a biogas digester was based on the idea of ​​waste utilization.

Biogas can not only serve as fuel, but also be used to generate electricity, which can be said to have many benefits.

For example, although Dabazi Village has electricity now, because electricity is relatively expensive, everyone is still accustomed to using kerosene lamps.

Even in Zhou Ziwen's home, the lights are rarely turned on.

To the villagers, electric lights are a benefit that is not practical.

It is usually not open except when there are guests at home.

But if the biogas digester is built, people won’t have to pay for electricity in the future.

Of course, the pig farm is just starting out and there isn’t that much pig manure yet.

Fifty piglets are of no use at all.

If we really want everyone in the village to have access to electricity, we have to develop the pig farm.

Generally speaking, a ten-cubic-meter biogas digester can meet the needs of a family for lighting, cooking, boiling water, etc.

If we only use electric lights, ten cubic meters can feed several households.

In addition to biogas, the biogas digester also produces biogas slurry and biogas residue.

Biogas slurry and biogas residue can be used to fertilize crops with very good results.

The biogas digester does not require much technical knowledge, so Zhou Ziwen talked to Li Lei about it. He then arranged for some people to come over and let Zhou Ziwen give orders at will.

With Zhou Ziwen's guidance, it is easy to build a biogas digester.

After all, he had planned the biogas digester when he built the pig farm.

Zhou Ziwen was busy until noon and went home early as it was almost time to get off work.

At this moment, Chen Qiaoyi was holding little Yueyue and playing with Tayun and Xiaobudian in the yard.

The animals at home are all very nice to Yueyue.

As long as Yueyue is awake, these guys will come over to protect her safety and also want to play with her.

"Brother Ziwen, you're back!" Chen Qiaoyi greeted Zhou Ziwen with a smile when she saw him. "Why are you here so early today?"

Zhou Ziwen kissed Xiao Yueyue's forehead and replied, "I came back early because I thought there was nothing else to do. Let's cook first! Shiying will be back soon."

"Brother Ziwen, you must be tired! Why don't you take care of the kids while I cook?"

Chen Qiaoyi took the initiative to speak.

When Zhou Ziwen heard what Chen Qiaoyi said, a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Chen Qiaoyi was worried about him and didn't want him to be too tired.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work today, my wife." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile. He brought little Yueyue over, let her sit in his arms, and rocked her gently.
