Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Zhou Guang sat down first and said to Gu Siwei.

"Tell me about raising pigs."

"Um?"

Gu Siwei said: "Didn't I say it before?"

"There are still a lot of things I don't understand," Zhou Guangxian said seriously.

Gu Siwei said: "You must know what you are doing so clearly, and I don't know the specific situation, if you want to know. Forget it, you don't have this way now."

After Zhou Guang heard this first, he sighed after a while: "I don't know, if what you said is true, and one or two hundred people can really raise more than 10,000 pigs, then it will be a big problem for our country." The good news means that people in our country will often see meat on their tables.

You don’t know why Li Fanghai and the others don’t believe what you say, but we all have raised pigs. As the old saying goes, if a family has a lot of wealth, the ones with fur are not included. It’s because these things make it so easy to get sick...".

Hearing what Zhou Guang said first, Gu Siwei said: "A large part of it is that our current method of raising pigs is unscientific. How do we raise pigs at home now? Just build a pigsty, and the pigs can eat, drink, and poop in it, and people still can't do it." I didn't even get close to the pig pen, but I smelled a bad smell.

The stench is so strong, how can we reduce the number of mosquitoes and flies? These guys are infected with germs, which usually means nothing. But if they encounter one, all the pigs in the village will not be able to escape.

How to raise pigs? First of all, we have to change our mindset. Look at our pigs. I never build a pond for them in the pen. Even if the pigs are digging in the mud, they are in the ditch, in the puddle with dead leaves, not in the pond. In a stinking mud puddle mixed with pig shit and pig urine.”

Gu Siwei directly stated that the big problem with rural pig farming now is that the environment is too bad.

It's a pity that Zhou Guangxian didn't listen to Gu Siwei. He had been raising pigs for decades, so how could he believe the words of a young boy.

Zhou Guangxian's concern for raising pigs is genuine, but that doesn't mean he will fully accept Gu Siwei's statement. He will naturally have his own persistence at such an old age.

Gu Siwei also knows that many people don't believe this, including other families in Zhuangzi. Several pigs are still raised in this way. The pigs are put into the pen and eat, drink and have diarrhea. It's not that Gu Siwei didn't talk to them. He said it, but who listened to him? No one listened to him at all.

"Let's talk about the method of large-scale pig raising that you know," Zhou Guangxian said.

Gu Siwei said: "It's useless even if I say it."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Guangxian was even more puzzled: "If we have this method, we can learn it and then spread it across the country. By then, people all over the country can eat meat. What a great thing."

Gu Siwei said: "This is not only a problem of equipment, but also of pig breeding, have you ever thought about it?"

After hearing this, Zhou Guang laughed directly and said: "What am I talking about? It's just pig breeding. Our country is so big and there are so many pigs. It's not easy to select just one or two? What do you mean?"

"It's not that simple. A good pig breed must have good disease resistance and be easy to feed and grow meat quickly. Our ordinary native pigs cannot achieve that at all, and let's say they feed two kilograms of feed. It can grow one pound of meat. Here we feed five pounds of feed to only grow one pound of meat. Domestic pig breeds are ready for slaughter in one year, and others can be put on the market in seven or eight months. Some pig breeds are even good, starting from two to three years. It only takes six short months to reach 2670 pounds. But for ordinary black pigs, it takes ten months anyway. And I don’t need to tell you how many pounds it can gain in these ten months. you know too……".

Gu Siwei told this to Zhou Guangsheng.

Zhou Guangsheng found it a bit incredible and asked: "Is it really so fast?"

"So let me tell you, it's not just about raising pigs, it also involves many aspects. Pig raising is also about science. Without science and technology, it will be an old method passed down to this life, and it will be passed down to the next generation. It’s still the old method,” Gu Siwei said.

Working with the Chen family, Gu Siwei learned what patent barriers were. Whether it is pig, duck, or chicken breeds, these patents are almost all in the hands of European and American companies. These companies can make a comfortable living every year just relying on these patents. For example, the Chen family hands it over to others every year. The patent fees account for almost 10% to 15% of the net profit.

In other words, your income in a year may not be as high as theirs.

Zhou Guang first said: "Let's talk about the technology you know, don't change the topic for me."

Gu Siwei looked at Zhou Guangxian and said, "That's what I'm talking about."

Gu Siwei had no choice. Zhou Guangxian only focused on machine technology. This may also be a limitation of the times.

However, Gu Siwei still told Zhou Guang the general situation first.

Zhou Guangxian naturally had no idea, but he still carefully wrote down Gu Siwei's words and tried his best to put them together into a picture in his mind.

After Gu Siwei finished speaking, he leaned back, closed his eyes, beat the time gently, and sang a song that Zhou Guangxian couldn't understand at all.

And Zhou Guangxian has no time to think about anything else now. He is still thinking about what Gu Siwei said about the kind of factory that can raise 10,000 pigs with only 100 people.

Now Zhou Guangxian really wants to see that place in person, and then after learning it, he can spread it across the country.

This idea is not wrong in Zhou Guangxian's opinion, but from the perspective of intellectual property protection, it is no different from robbery. If you take what others have thought up or researched, you are stealing other people's knowledge.

But at this time, let alone Zhou Guangxian, there are probably not many people in the country who know about intellectual property rights.

Gu Siwei was playing time, humming, and thinking about raising pigs.

It's just that Gu Siwei is much more relaxed.

They are cooperating with the Chen family's pig factory, but Gu Siwei only talked about cooperation in pig raising technology. As for pig breeds, Gu Siwei didn't mention it. The Chen family naturally didn't ask, because they thought that as long as Gu Siwei Siwei wants to raise pigs on a large scale, so the pig breeds must be the same as theirs.

But the Chen family didn't know that Gu Siwei held pig breeds in his hands. Not to mention pig breeds, broiler chicken breeds, egg-laying duck breeds and other intellectual property rights were all owned by Dabidou Company.

Originally, Gu Siwei had never thought about these things. No, during the process of cooperating with the Chen family, he realized that this was how these European and American bullies played.

You must know that some patented poultry varieties are borrowed from our ancient poultry breeding. They didn't give us any money when they used them, and now they are collecting money with a shameless face. How could Gu Siwei let them do this?

Lao Gu didn't know that in his time and space, China had worked hard for generations to get rid of the control of these foreign giants. When these guys were at their craziest, they could directly control the prices of our domestic eggs, meat and poultry, which meant they controlled the prices on our tables. Meat plate.

You said this is so fatal. What the hell would you do if someone gave you this thing as soon as a war started?

Of course, now that I know Lao Gu's bastard character, he will definitely have a hand in it. This kind of hand-in-hand is much more confident than when he is playing with chips. The chip space cannot be used to make a big effort, so this thing is simply giving space. It's designed to make money.

Now Gu Siwei is thinking about how big a chicken factory, laying hen factory, pig factory, etc. he will build after the reform. When the time comes, the manure will be fermented into green manure and then sold. .

However, thinking of this, Gu Siwei was a little skeptical. With the current domestic consumption level, he didn't know how many households could afford this kind of green fertilizer.

What should I do if I can’t afford it?

No good idea came to mind for a while, so Gu Siwei scratched his head subconsciously.

Just when Gu Siwei was worrying about natural green manure in a few years, Lu Yan came over.

"What are you two doing? You all frowned and didn't say a word for a long time." Lu Yan asked Gu Siwei and Zhou Guangxian.

Gu Siwei said: "It's okay. I'm just thinking. You didn't play chess?"

"I just came down and happened to think of something that I forgot to tell you," Lu Yan said.

Gu Siwei asked: "What's the matter? Can't we talk about it later?"

"Guo Shengshui came back with a message from the radar station, saying that they will come over in two days to help you collect cherries," Lu Yan said.

The soldiers at the radar station now help Gu Siwei's family harvest cherries every year, not for eating, but because Gu Siwei often goes to their radar war, and every time he brings this and a little of that, as a thank you to the radar war. Gu Siwei, every time during this season, he would organize soldiers to come over and help Gu Siwei harvest the cherries.

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about this. After calculating the date, it's really about time." Gu Siwei thought about what day today was and realized that it was indeed almost the day when the soldiers came every year.

Lu Yan said: "How to get the fruit this time?"

Seeing Gu Siwei looking at him with a strange expression, Lu Yan said: "What I mean is, should the cherries produced here be sent to the factory or to the radar station for the soldiers to taste?"

Gu Siwei understood what Lu Yan meant and opened his mouth and said: "Of course I will give it to the soldiers to try. The factory only gave me the price of second-grade products. Why did they ask me to give away Golden Crown-level cherries? Isn't that nonsense?"

Zhou Guangxian was confused by Gu Siwei again.

"What's the second and first level, and what's the golden crown?"

Lu Yan is also curious.

Gu Siwei sat up straight: "I grade the cherries here according to their size and sweetness. The best ones are from the trees in our house, which are golden crown-grade fruits. The ones grown over there are graded from grade one to grade two. There are different grades, different sizes, different sweetness, and even whether they look good or not, all of which affect the grading."

Zhou Guang first listened and laughed and said: "I think this guy just wants to sell more money, otherwise what would he be doing with all this? He would just sell the big and small fruits separately. Oh, I remembered, he also asked Lao Zheng to make bamboo Bian, maybe that’s what he did.”

"Yes, that's right," Gu Siwei said with a smile.
