Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Growing to 200 kilograms in seven months is just my preliminary estimate. If the baby is raised properly and with the guidance of experts, it is not impossible for the baby to grow to more than 250 kilograms."

Lin Kaifeng's words became more and more mysterious, and Lu Changshun's brain completely lost the ability to think.

If anyone other than the company employees heard this, they would definitely think that Lin Kaifeng was talking nonsense.

It is a miracle for a pig to grow to 200 kilograms in seven months.

He actually said it was just a preliminary estimate...

If such pigs really exist in the world, how come I know nothing about them?

"Third uncle, third uncle?"

Seeing Lu Changshun’s dazed look, Lin Kaifeng waved his hand in front of him.

"Kaifeng, are you kidding me?"

Lu Changshun, who had come back to his senses, asked excitedly.

"Hearing is believing, you will know when the time comes."

Then, Lin Kaifeng told his father-in-law Lu Dayong that he wanted to buy a car.

Lin Kaifeng originally planned to pay out of his own pocket and give the Dongshan Brigade an agricultural tricycle for free.

After thinking about it, I felt that one might not be enough.

In the next period of time, the Dongshan Brigade will still be extremely busy.

Various construction materials and personnel will continue to flow to Dongshan Brigade.

The vehicles needed for transportation have become a top priority.

After talking about this, Lin Kaifeng invited Lu Changshun to go back with him on the weekend.

By then, Lin Kaifeng will have something big to announce.

After explaining the current matters, Lin Kaifeng left work early.

I went home to pack my things and prepare to go to the provincial capital tomorrow.

When she learned that she would go back to visit her relatives on the weekend, Lu Xiuxiu was extremely happy.

During this time in the county, Lu Xiuxiu missed home so much.

The city has everything, except that it is too rule-bound.

You go to the vegetable store to buy vegetables and to the butcher store to buy meat.

No matter what you buy, you need to take out the food book and purchase according to the specified quantity.

The next morning, Lin Kaifeng said goodbye to his wife and daughter.

Go out to the train station and take the train to the provincial capital Jiangcheng.

In the second half of 79, construction scenes could be seen everywhere in Jiangcheng, the provincial capital.

The spring breeze of reform has blown through the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng.

Ask along the way.

Lin Kaifeng came to a large office building.

Jiangcheng Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Preparatory Office of the Pig Breeding Research Institute.

Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine.

Taking a look at the several unit house numbers hanging on the wall of the building, Lin Kaifeng smiled knowingly.

That's right, it's here.

Immediately, Lin Kaifeng strode in.

Arriving at the mailroom in the building, Lin Kaifeng bent over and said, "Uncle, may I ask which floor the pig breeding research institute is located on?"

"Third floor."

The old man in the mailroom who was reading a newspaper replied without even looking up.

"Thank you."

After saying that, Lin Kaifeng walked all the way to the third floor.

"Ugh……"

In the office, two elderly men looked more depressed than each other.

He kept sighing.

"Dang Dang Dang."

Hearing someone knocking on the door, an old man near the door stood up and opened it.

Seeing a young man in his twenties wearing a gray cadre uniform standing outside the door, the old man subconsciously said, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, who is the person in charge here?"

"Comrade, what do you want from me?"

Upon learning that Lin Kaifeng was looking for the person in charge here, the second old man stood up.

"Old comrade, may I ask if you sell Landrace piglets?"

"You know Landrace pigs?!"

In an instant, the frustrated expressions on the faces of the two old men disappeared, and they all looked at Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem. Please come in."

The second old man was so excited that his face was full of joy. He rushed to the door with a speed that was inconsistent with his age, and took Lin Kaifeng's hand and walked in.

"Lao Zhang, hurry up and pour some water to make tea!"

"Okay, okay, wait for me for a few minutes."

The first old man seemed equally happy, rummaging deftly for tea leaves and a thermos.

"What's your name, comrade? Which commune are you the leader of?"

"How many Landrace piglets do you plan to buy?"

After a while, a cup of steaming fragrant tea was placed in front of Lin Kaifeng.

The two old men sat down in front of Lin Kaifeng.

In addition to happiness and excitement, there seemed to be an indescribable and inexplicable meaning in the eyes that were staring at Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng felt something was wrong.

It's just buying some piglets, why are they so excited?

It's like being given an injection of chicken blood.

something wrong.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "My name is Lin Kaifeng, and I am going to buy a batch of Landrace piglets for the Xihe Brigade below."

"Excuse me, who is the second one?"

"My name is Xu Haodong, and I'm the leader of the former livestock research group. The person next to me is my deputy, Zhang Weimin."

The old man briefly introduced the identities of the two men and asked Lin Kaifeng again how many piglets he planned to buy.

Lin Kaifeng said: "The quantity has not yet been determined, but we will definitely buy a large amount."

"Two experts, can I ask a few questions first?"

"Yes, yes, of course."

Zhang Weimin said first: "You can ask any questions related to pig farming. We promise to answer them."

Xu Haodong on the side nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to pig farming, the two are definitely experts among experts.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present day, the two have done nothing else but deal with pigs.

Lin Kaifeng said: "As far as I know, our country has already started to import breeding pigs in the early 1970s. Why haven't we promoted them yet?"

Hearing this question, the two looked at each other.

The smiles and excitement faded.

Instead, there was a look of mixed emotions.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you don't know that our country did not import imported breeding pigs in the 1970s. In the early 1950s, we imported a batch of imported breeding pigs from the Soviet Union. They were called Large White Pigs."

"The breeder pigs introduced in the 1970s were called Landrace pigs, which are another breed."

Zhang Weimin explained patiently.

"So that's it."

Lin Kaifeng is an expert in science and engineering and does not know much about poultry and animal husbandry.

All I know is that 99% of the pigs raised by ordinary people in later generations were white.

White pigs are marketed quickly and grow meat even faster.

By the mid-to-late 1980s, people's food supply problem was fundamentally solved.

The abundant supply of meat products depends on these white imported pigs.

Previously, the few pigs raised by Dongshan Brigade were all authentic local black pigs.

Gain weight slowly and eat a lot.

It's quite laborious to serve.

It should not be a problem to introduce imported breeding pigs such as Landrace pigs to Dongshan Brigade and set up a pig farm using the biological feed that Dongshan Brigade already has.

With the pig farm, the team’s food problem can be solved.

You can also make some extra money by selling pigs.

on the other hand.

It can also help Lin Kaifeng realize another business plan.

Merger and acquisition of the county meat processing plant.

It was transformed into the first ham sausage production enterprise in the country.

The first ham sausage company in China was established in the mid-1980s.

The equipment used is said to come from an island country.

This can be seen.

The island country now has ham sausage filling equipment.

Through this autumn's Canton Fair, we will try to purchase one or two production lines.
