The rain was still pouring down, and the cold and humid air in the air was getting thicker and thicker, making people feel a completely different kind of winter.

Winter in Liangcun rarely rains, and even a little light rain will stop quickly, and it will not be as continuous as it is now. The rain fell from the sky, making the whole Liangcun feel like being soaked in water, filled with a lazy atmosphere.

As soon as the north wind blows, the temperature of the air plummets like a roller coaster, making Liu Rui, who is accustomed to the warm winter in the south, feel extremely uncomfortable.

The hands of the watch went to half past six, usually at this time the sky was already bright, but today the sky outside is still gray, so people can't really see it. The north wind blew across the lake, and the whining of the wind could be heard in the distance, which made people feel a little creepy. Sometimes, the sound of the wind will be mixed with one or two mournful calls of migratory birds, which adds to the bleak mood.

Liu Rui looked at the freezing rain outside the house with some concern, and his mind had already flown to the tomato field on the edge of the Liu family's compound. Originally, it was thought that the tomato field could create an amazing fortune, create an unsurpassable monument for the villagers of Liang Village, and drive the villagers to develop cash crop planting. However, after this freezing rain, I am afraid that the harvest will really become a problem.

Zhang Zhenguang also knew Liu Rui's thoughts, and tacitly diverted the matter of small tomatoes, focusing on the follow-up management of the pig farm. The sudden arrival of this cold snap made Zhang Zhenguang and others wake up and understand that in order to make pig farms develop and grow, they must strengthen management and make various preparations to deal with unexpected situations that may arise at any time.

After all, the attack of this cold snap was discovered at the first time, and it seems that it has not brought any damage to the pig farm. If there is a more critical situation in the future, causing huge losses to the pig farm, Zhang Zhenzu and others will regret it too late.

Liu Rui, Zhang Zhenguang and others are discussing the development direction of pig farms, but they are also absent-minded. However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless for Liu Rui to be worried. Today's Liu Rui can only hope that the frost-resistant ability of the small tomatoes nourished by the space spring water will be strengthened and survive this catastrophe.

I waited until half past seven, and the rain in the sky still showed no signs of stopping, and looking at the gloomy weather outside, I am afraid that this rain will have to fall for a long time.

Because it has been raining, Zhang Zhenzu has no way to go to the town to buy plastic sheeting, so he can only call the merchants in Qingyun Town to deliver the goods to his door. Fortunately, there is a telephone in the pig farm, otherwise it would be a real trouble. At this time, Zhang Zhenguang and others were finally convinced by Liu Rui's insistence on installing the phone.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhenguang thought that it was too expensive to install telephones, and said that in the early days of pig farms, they should be able to save money and not be extravagant. The pig farm is in the countryside, and there are no customers to contact, so the installation phone is a bit redundant.

However, Liu Rui still insisted on installing the phone, so that he could easily contact him when he was in a hurry. Otherwise, judging from the fact that everyone in the pig farm does not have a mobile phone now, it will be really difficult to get things done.

By half-past seven, countless phone calls began to come out, first asking the town's merchants to deliver the goods, and then starting to ask the people in the village to help them go door-to-door to find some dry straw.

Two months have passed since the autumn harvest, and the straw has been eroded and rotted by the rain either by the villagers and burned as ashes, and it is impossible to find dry straw in the barnyard. What's more, tonight's rain has turned the whole world into a wet patch.

Although the outside world has now entered the twenty-first world, there are still many traditional farming methods still retained in Liangcun. For the southern paddy fields that need to be intensively cultivated, one buffalo in the family can withstand two strong laborers, so many farmers in Liang Village still raise buffaloes.

For the villagers of Liang Village, it is quite easy to feed their livestock in spring, summer and autumn, and the grass all over the mountains is the best green fodder. You don't have to look for it, just drive the animals to the wasteland in the mountains and let them forage for food on their own.

However, in winter, because of the drop in temperature, although the surrounding area of Liangcun is still mainly green, it is difficult to find fresh grass. In order to replenish nutrients and fodder for the livestock, many villagers have developed the habit of collecting some dried straw during the autumn harvest and feeding it to the livestock in winter.

In addition, straw also plays a very important role after agricultural production, and people in the city have no way of knowing what these seemingly useless straws are really for.

Ordinary villagers will have the habit of raising pigs or sows, and for villagers with fewer sources of income, the pigs at home are the tuition fees of the dolls and the new clothes of the daughter-in-law in the coming year. Sometimes, many villagers take care of their pigs more carefully than they do themselves, and they simply treat the pigs as official members of the family.

As soon as winter comes, straw can be turned into bedding in the pigsty for the pigs to keep warm, so many pig feeders will always prepare some dry straw. Especially for those who raise sows, when the sow gives birth, straw becomes the best bedding material to help the piglets grow smoothly.

Villagers who raise chickens and ducks at home should have a layer of soft grooves in the chicken nest, so that the hens and ducks can have a comfortable environment and improve the egg production rate.

In addition, when the villagers sow rice and vegetables, they will spread a thin layer of straw on the vegetable beds to prevent the rain from washing away the evenly sown seeds.

A few years ago, when new energy sources such as liquefied gas and biogas were not widely introduced into rural areas, straw was also the main material for many rural families to make fires and cook. It's just that with the improvement of living conditions in recent years, many villagers have abandoned this kind of firewood with a lot of smoke and dust.

In all these things, the small straw has a very wide range of uses in the countryside, and it is not as useless as it seems to be in the city.

Fortunately, the face of the Zhang family is big enough, and as soon as the call came back, someone took the initiative to help, searching for straw from door to door.

For Liu Rui and others, as long as they can receive some straw for unpreparedness, it is fine. After all, as long as the plastic sheeting is enclosed, followed by an incandescent lamp, it is enough to keep the temperature inside the pigsty relatively high, and there is no need to worry about the piglets being adversely affected by the cold snap.

Soon, Boss Liao of the town's agricultural materials store drove his Wuling minivan to the pig farm and delivered Liu Rui's plastic sheeting.

After the plastic sheet was removed from the car, Liu Rui immediately used the high-pressure sprayer that had been prepared to spray 5/10,000 potassium permanganate solution on the plastic sheet, just to disinfect. After all, these goods are constantly transported in the outside world, and they will always be contaminated with a lot of germs, and for the safety of pig farms, necessary disinfection measures are naturally indispensable.

After the plastic sheeting arrived, Liu Rui began to act.

At this time, the three workers hired by the pig farm also rushed to the pig farm and joined the vigorous fence operation.

As the saying goes, it's easy to do things when there are more people!

With the addition of a few workers, the fence went quite smoothly and all the pens were soon enclosed.

At the beginning, the piglets were still a little panicked, after all, they could have seen the outside world suddenly blocked their vision by colorful plastic sheets, and they must have been a little uncomfortable.

However, as the plastic sheeting obscured the bitter cold wind and the rain and fog in the air, the temperature in the pigsty skyrocketed. The piglets felt that the environment began to change to their preferred atmosphere, and the panicked mood gradually calmed down, and they began to hum peacefully in the pigsty.

After surrounding the plastic sheet, Liu Rui began to spray all the plastic sheets evenly with a sprayer. As the formulator of the strict health and epidemic prevention system of the pig farm, Liu Rui is very strict about every item that enters the pigsty, in order to ensure that the piglets will not be infected with diseases due to various negligence.

Liu Rui had just finished disinfecting all the corners of the pigsty, and there were rhythmic screams in the pigsty, which was the time for the piglets to eat and began their routine shouting action.

As if a conditioned reflex, one piglet screamed, followed by countless piglets. For a while, the whole pig farm was like a hot oil pot sprinkled with a handful of salt, and it boiled.

However, as shareholders, Liu Rui, Zhang Zhenguang and others listened to the messy and even a little harsh pig crows, and they really didn't feel irritable, but felt that there was a joy spreading in their hearts.

The happier the piglets on the farm, the healthier they are, and the more they will benefit in the future.

At the beginning, Liu Rui was also worried that the invasion of the cold snap would affect the piglets and become sick. However, as far as we can observe, the piglets are still so healthy and lively.

As soon as the piglets began to bark, Zhang Zhenyao and a few workers seemed to get a signal and began to prepare breakfast for the piglets.

The piglets on the farm are fed three times a day, once at 8 a.m., once at 12 p.m. and once at 6 p.m.

Generally speaking, the daily feed preparation of the piglets starts at the time of Liujia Distillery, and then makes the final adjustment before eating.

After the Liujia Distillery finished brewing, the entire distillation tank was filled with distiller's grains with a temperature of about 120 degrees Celsius. If the Liu family brewed 100 catties of rice that day, Liu Jiahong would mix 20 catties of corn into a paste after the brewing, flush the hot distiller's lees into it, and then keep stirring.

Taking advantage of the high temperature of the distiller's grains, the corn can be easily smothered, which is conducive to the digestion of the piglets after eating. When the corn is ripe, Liu Jiahong and several winery workers will load the corn paste into the vats that have already been prepared and push it to the pig farm for later use.

Before feeding, the workers of the pig farm also add a certain proportion of rice bran, wheat bran, soybean meal, fish meal and some minerals to the sake lees corn paste, which can become the favorite delicacy of the piglets.

Because these feeds contain delicious sake lees, sweet soybean meal and fish meal, the piglets can basically meet their own needs for growth and development. In addition, there is a trace of alcohol in the sake lees, and the piglets can't help but be a little sleepy after eating, which is more conducive to the growth of the piglets.

Therefore, since the piglets entered the Zhang Kee farm, the growth has been very good. Liu Rui came to the pig farm every once in a while, and he could feel that the piglets were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was extremely joyful.

When Zhang Zhenyao and others put the prepared paste feed into the pig trough, the piglets rushed to eat.

This morning, the piglets had to wake up from their sleep due to the sudden onset of a cold snap, spending a lot of calories to withstand the cold. In this way, the piglets are naturally quite hungry and eat more than usual.

Walking in the middle of the rows of pigsties, watching the piglets eat without raising their heads, and listening to the sound of them smashing their mouths, Liu Rui felt a passion for life flowing.

Now just a few hundred piglets eating is so exciting, if in the future it becomes tens of thousands of piglets eating together, how spectacular will it be?

Zhang Zhenguang and others are also happy, after all, the pig farm is where their hope lies, and now the pig farm is vibrant, how can they not be happy.

Liu Rui and the others have long been accustomed to such scenes, and they are still a little swaying, and the expression of Boss Liao in the town is even more shocked.

Boss Liao has been operating agricultural materials in Qingyun Town for several years, not to mention the huge wealth but also a wealthy household with small assets, and it is normal to have a hundred thousand yuan at home. Some time ago, he also heard that the Zhang brothers opened a pig farm, which is the largest pig farm in Qingyun, with hundreds of pigs in it.

At first, Boss Liao just thought that the countrymen who had never seen the world liked to exaggerate, and said that an ordinary pig farm was the only big pig farm in the sky. Later, I heard too many such rumors, so Boss Liao laughed it off and ignored it. In Boss Liao's view, how can a countryman like Liangcun afford a modern pig farm?

Even if Boss Liao knew Zhang Zhenguang and knew that he was the village party secretary of Xialiang Village, he could be regarded as a capable person in the countryside, and he was unlikely to become an entrepreneur who could build and manage a modern pig farm.

Today, I received a call from Zhang Zhenzu, saying that he needed a batch of plastic sheets to surround the pigsty, and Boss Liao Suo drove over in person, and also wanted to see with his own eyes what the pig farm that the villagers said was miraculous.

After entering the pig farm to unload, Boss Liao was taken aback by Liu Rui's somewhat strict disinfection measures, and his views began to change a little in his heart. In Boss Liao's view, pig farms that pay so much attention to disinfection links, no matter how bad they are, will not be bad.

After entering the interior of the pig farm, Boss Liao felt more and more that his eyes were not enough to see.

The neat and uniform building, the clean and tidy pigsty, and the well-equipped pig barn all opened Boss Liao's eyes. Boss Liao, who has also walked in many places before, has also seen some so-called standard farms, and when it comes to hardware facilities, Zhang Ji Pig Farm is not worse than those pig farms.

However, what surprised Boss Liao the most was that the piglets in the pig house with pink coat and the surname Ge were very uniform, and there was no obvious difference between the same batch of piglets.

I heard Zhang Zhenzu say that the largest batch of piglets was bought back only two months ago, but according to Boss Liao's visual inspection, the weight of these piglets is at least more than 150 catties. Removing the weight of 50 catties when the piglets are bought, they can basically grow 50 catties a month, and they can reach more than 200 catties after another month. According to this calculation, a hundred days of slaughter is not a fantasy.

Boss Liao knows that the general pig farm is known as piglets for slaughter in three months, but this contains a certain amount of moisture. In addition, the general pig farm uses a large number of feed and various additives, and the growth of pigs is naturally very fast, but the meat quality is not necessarily good.

Zhang Kee Pig Farm does not use feed and additives, only distiller's grains, corn, wheat bran, soybeans, fish meal and other original materials. However, just relying on such materials to create such good results, how can you not surprise Boss Liao?

Boss Liao was a little surprised, what could be the reason for such a miracle?

What Boss Liao didn't know was that the sake lees contained the ingredients of space spring water, and the water fed in the pigsty was also space spring water, which was an important reason why these piglets could grow so well.

However, only Liu Rui can know such a secret, and others can only be confused.

The longer he stayed in the pig farm, the more powerful the shock Boss Liao felt, and the disapproving emotion in his heart had already disappeared. Especially after listening to Liu Rui's plan for the future of the pig farm, the shock in Boss Liao's heart became even stronger.

10,000 pig farms!

This is Liu Rui's goal, and this is the future of Zhang Ji Pig Farm!

At this time, Boss Liao no longer felt that Liu Rui's plan was unrealistic, and he would not feel that Zhang Zhenzu and others were whimsical. Because he has seen the infrastructure, management system and the growth of piglets in pig farms, he has entered the ranks of advanced pig farms, and Boss Liao naturally knows that Liu Rui and others do have enough confidence.

Especially after listening to Liu Rui's plan for the future of the pig farm, the shock in Boss Liao's heart became even stronger.
