Chapter 475: Ranch
After checking Nastya's driving level, the two drove back, and when they went upstairs, they told everyone about Nastya's driving level, and everyone surrounded them, and then asked gossip. After all, in this era, female drivers are very rare in China, Li Zhao remembered the first female tractor driver who learned to drive a tractor, and she was also in the newspaper, and her photo was also printed on the new one-yuan banknote issued this year.
It can be seen that female drivers who can drive in this era are very rare, you know, the evaluation given to the female tractor driver at that time was a woman in the world. Think about it, you can see how much attraction it can be to drive for these people, and in this era, drivers are also a very promising profession, more than teachers.
Now there is a female driver who can drive next to them, which of course makes them feel new. Seeing that everyone was around Nastya and asked, Li Zhao said: "Don't ask yet, if you want to understand the situation later, you can take Nastya's car, and the rest will take my car." Now we're going to get the supplies ready, it's eight o'clock, we're about to go, you can't really prepare everything and go to the place to do it, right? ”
It's obviously going out for a picnic today, and if everything is done in the place, then there is basically no time to play, and in a place where everything is inconvenient, it is very troublesome to cook at once or cook for so many people. What's more, there are no chefs who go this time, and if they all go to the place to make it again, it will take at least a few hours. In this case, on this day, after removing the time on the road, it will take a small half of the cooking.
After listening to Li Zhao's words, everyone got busy and began to prepare things to eat at noon, such as the beef brought back by Nastya yesterday, but there were four kilograms, and it was fried yesterday, but it didn't use much, and it was directly brought over to fry the steak at noon, which was simple and delicious, and it was what everyone in this era was greedy for. After all, at this time, when there are only two taels of meat per month, and there is not necessarily money to buy it, being able to eat a meal of meat is really a luxury for many people.
Take out the beef directly, then cut it, marinate it directly, and you only need to fry it when you get to the place, of course, it is impossible to prepare only these, everyone is discussing to see what to prepare, both simple and delicious. Fortunately, there are many people with great strength, and everyone works together, and the things are prepared quickly, and it is estimated that it will not take long.
Of course, if it is not enough, it is very easy to do, you can go directly to the greenhouse of the ranch to pick it, or even go to the ranch canteen and the women's barracks canteen to get it, with Li Zhao and Su Ya here, this is not a difficult thing. And the biggest possibility is that when they knew that Li Zhao was going to have a picnic, they would directly send them something.
Li Zhao saw that everyone was starting to prepare, and said to Li Xing, Wang Jun and her classmates: "You should also pay attention to putting away your things, when you come back in the afternoon, we will send you back to school by the way, so you don't have to run back again, it is estimated that you will be very tired after playing for a day today, so let's run less." ”
After listening to Li Zhao's words, they also promised, saying that they would clean up when they were ready to eat, and move to the car together in a while. Soon the things were prepared, and the house was packed up, and Li Zhao set off directly with everyone.
When dividing the car, it was also according to what Li Zhao said, according to everyone's wishes, Li Zhao sat in the car, Li Zhao's two children, four children, Li Xing, Wang Jun and three teachers, and eleven people sat directly, but fortunately it was not crowded. And Nastya's car is sitting on the rest of the people, there are a lot, there are nine people, fortunately they are all women, otherwise it may be a little crowded, of course, the car is relatively large, so many people are good.
The scenery at this time is actually not so good, after all, it is autumn, except for a few places where you can see the maple leaves, there is actually no good place on the mountain, after all, in this era, there is not much planning and construction, the surrounding places are still in a primitive state, and there are only messy semi-withered yellow trees on the mountain.
Just like the situation of Li Zhao and others along the way, the fields are dominated by corn that is about to ripen, and some of the leaves have begun to turn yellow, and even if there is no yellowing, the color of the leaves has changed to dark green, and there is a feeling of old age. When you pass by the hillside, there are some chaotic trees, and there are hardly any flowers in sight. Looking at such a scene, there is really a feeling of gloom, and even the mood of a person is sad.
It's just that the sun is very good at this time, the sky is blue, the blue is so pure and deep, in the bleak autumn scenery, it brings a little relaxation, coupled with the slightest white clouds dotted in the sky, the mood has a touch of Su Chang in the sadness. In short, when I came out at this time, I was still very relaxed.
Since it was not far from the ranch, it was only more than twenty minutes before everyone reached the edge of the ranch. It's just that the situation here is completely different from what Li Zhao imagined, in Li Zhao's imagination, at this time, it should be a gray scene, after all, it is already October, and the alfalfa grass has already borne fruit and is beginning to slowly wither.
However, the reality is completely different from what Li Zhao thought, the first thing he saw was the grass planted on the hillside here, Li Zhao looked at the state, it should be ryegrass, looking at it from a distance, it was like undulating green waves. It was like a green blanket draped over the hillside, in stark contrast to the withered hills in the distance, and it was really beautiful. Li Zhao felt that this scene was worth it today.
At this time, everyone also saw this situation, and they all leaned on the car window to look at the hillside, Li Zhao saw that this was the case, so he stopped the car on the side of the road, and everyone hurriedly got out of the car to enjoy this spectacular scene. Nas did the same, and stopped the car, and everyone in the car also got down and looked into the distance.
With the slightest breeze, a little white clouds, the pure green under the blue sky is commensurate with the bleak hills in the distance, and then there is a group of young beauties and a few lively and cute children, it is really a perfect picture. Li Zhao looked at it, and a smile couldn't help but climb up the corners of his mouth, it was really perfect.
After watching it for a while, Su Ya and Nastya acted in surprisingly unison, and took out the camera directly, and then clicked non-stop, and of course took some photos for everyone, which is a perfect record of this trip.
Of course, I won't shoot too much, no way, film is too expensive, if I keep shooting, I guess there will be no place to buy film. Everyone's mood will be completely different here, along the way, looking at the scenery of this late autumn, I can't help but feel a little sad and sad, but now this feeling has been swept away. There is a feeling of inadvertently finding a surprise, like the feeling of seeing a glimmer of light for the first time after experiencing a dark night.
After admiring it for a while, everyone continued to set off, after all, there is still business today, and when the business is over, it is not too late to continue watching, there is a day of time. Soon came to the breeding area of the ranch, the person standing guard saw Li Zhao's license plate, and knew who was coming, Li Zhao handed over the documents, and was checking it, and someone greeted him.
When they met, they said directly: "Chief Engineer Li and Assistant Su, why don't you come to say hello in advance, you see that we haven't prepared anything, I'm afraid we won't be able to entertain well, don't mind when the time comes." ”
After hearing this, Li Zhao smiled and said: "What are you prepared for, let's take a look, but I don't plan to eat here, besides, you see that our team is a standard one to play, but it will disturb your work." The main thing is that the milk powder factory is about to start, and Su Ya wants to come over to see the actual milk production of our cows, so as to decide how to produce them at that time, after all, we don't have enough cows now, and you still have to breed calves. ”
If the cow needs to breed calves, it will not be able to produce milk for several months, which will definitely affect the production of the milk powder factory, Su Ya also has to come over to investigate the specific situation now, otherwise it will be turned on when the time comes, and the supply of raw materials will be tight, which will be a waste of manpower and material resources, which can determine the scale of the milk powder factory's recruitment.
After listening to Li Zhao's words, the person in charge said: "The cows are still arriving in batches, and now we have 12,500 cows, of which 500 were raised by us before, and now they have all been sent here." As for breeding calves, we are also doing it in batches, and if too many calves are born at one time, we can't take care of them right now. ”
Li Zhao can also understand the current situation, such a large-scale farm, there has never been a domestic one, and the current technical personnel are unqualified, especially the technical personnel such as veterinarians, which are seriously lacking.
Saying that, the person in charge took everyone to visit, and several children also felt novel, they also saw this kind of large-scale breeding for the first time, and they had never seen so many cattle. They were now like an explorer, full of curiosity about everything, especially the three little ones, whose eyes were already straight. Not only the children, but also the others, even Nastya had never seen so many cows at once.
Li Zhao looked at it and found that the silage used to feed the cattle here was quite surprising to Li Zhao, because it would be a lot of work, especially when a lot of grass was planted on the hillside. However, there are also advantages to feeding this way, that is, it is more nutritious, and at the same time, the cattle are more likely to eat, and it can also reduce pests and diseases.
