Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 842
Two days later, Qian Mu said goodbye to his family after packing up. He took his 12-year-old book boy Qian Miao, took a luxurious four-wheeled carriage with a special sign in the palace, and drove west along the street all the way, and arrived in about half an hour. The base camp of Shengyuan Dairy Industry is located in the northwest of the capital.

The school lieutenant who was driving stopped the carriage and jumped out of the car. The book boy opened the carriage and jumped down. Qian Mu also got out of the car after that. The school lieutenant greeted him and went straight to the gate of the dairy farm. After taking down the bag containing his belongings, Qian Mu looked around.

After more than two years of continuous construction and expansion, the place where Shengyuan Dairy is located has changed from a sparsely populated place to a popular square area.

Fang District is located on the east side of the wooden fence that is more than one person high in the dairy farm. Hundreds of well-arranged houses form several spacious and clean streets. There are mulberry willows planted on both sides of each street. There are few people on the road, and occasionally one or two urchins about five or six years old laugh and run across the street.

In the north of Fang District is a small commercial area consisting of more than ten shops and restaurants, providing necessary daily necessities for hundreds of dairy farms.

This is what Qian Mu can see as far as his eyesight can see, and the rest of the facilities cannot be observed temporarily due to the obstruction of sight.

"This is Qian Caibian in person? I am Li Daniu, the steward of Shengyuan Dairy Industry. I heard that Qian Caibian is going to stay here for a period of time. His Highness specially ordered me to meet Mr. Qian Caibian. Welcome Qian Caibian!

His Highness has instructed that during this period of time, if Qian Caizhi needs anything, just ask. I will take Mr. to the residence to settle down first, and then we will go to the venue to inspect it! "

Just as Qian Mu looked around curiously, two people walked out of the gate of the dairy farm, one of them bowed his hands and smiled at Qian Mu who was looking around.

"Guarantee Li, you are being polite! If there are any troubles in the future, please give advice to Guanshi Li!"

Hearing the sound, Qian Mu turned around, smiled back at the stout young man opposite him.

Although this man doesn't look like a scholar in appearance, his words are full of elegance. He is obviously a person who can read and write. This alone makes people feel good. What surprised Qian Mu was that he used "I" when speaking. Instead of the "little man" that ordinary people call themselves when they meet government officials or scholars, their attitude when dealing with others is neither humble nor overbearing. This kind of calm and confident appearance is very rare.

"Probably because of doing things for the Tian family, I have developed this kind of self-confidence over time."

Qian Mu speculated in his heart.

Li Daniu is the elder brother of Li Xiaohua (Niuniu). He is now one of the stewards of Shengyuan Dairy and the father of three children. He and his wife both work on the dairy farm, and their combined monthly income is quite high.

Li Daniu, one of the managers of the entire Shengyuan Dairy Industry, has a monthly salary of three silver coins, plus other benefits and subsidies, and gets about forty silver coins a year, while his wife's annual income is about half of his, This kind of salary is enough to ensure that their family of five can live a relatively good life.

After saying goodbye to the driving captain, Li Daniu brought up Qian Mu's luggage and led the way. The two chatted briefly and walked towards the residential area. The little bookboy looked around curiously while walking. Tea time came to a courtyard.

Li Daniu put his bag on the ground, took out a key from his pocket, stepped forward and unlocked the lock on the nose of the door, turned around, picked up his bag and opened the door, followed by Qian Mu, master and servant, into the courtyard.

This is an ordinary residential house with a courtyard. There are three houses in the north-south main room, namely the main hall and two main rooms on the left and right. There is also a wing room on each side of the main room. There is a toilet in one corner In the other corner of the Hechaifang and Zaojian, there is an oleander plant, which is in late summer, and the flowers are in full bloom. The other crabapple is already full of fruits. The whole courtyard looks clean and tidy, which makes Qian Mu, who loves cleanliness, feel clean. Very comfortable.

"Master, look quickly, there are a lot of fruits!"

The young Qian Miao saw the crabapple tree whose branches were bent by the fruit for the first time, and tugged on Qian Mu's sleeve and shouted happily.

"The fruit is not yet ripe, so you can't eat it yet!
Mr. Qian, this is the original residence of our family. Later, I saved some money and bought another house with two entrances. This house has been left unused. It's just right for a temporary stay!
According to His Highness's instructions, I have made arrangements, and someone will deliver brand new bedding later on. If you are not too tired now, sir, you can go to the farm with me to have a look, so that you can have a general understanding first.

This little brother can stay in the house, and if someone brings something, he can support him. There is no need to light a fire in the house for three meals a day. The two of you can go to the cafeteria to eat. If you want to have a drink, there is also a restaurant You can pay the account, and the required expenses will be paid by our Shengyuan Dairy Industry!
What do you think sir? "

Li Daniu explained with a smile, and then asked for Qian Mu's opinion.

He didn't know the purpose of Qian Mu's coming to the dairy farm. He just got an order from Auntie Zhu, saying that an editor of the newspaper wanted to come here for a brief stay. Just be as satisfied as you can.

"I'm not tired, so I have Lao Li in charge.

Ah Miao, just wait in the house, someone will greet you at noon, don't run around! "

Qian Mu slightly bowed his hands at Li Daniu, told Qian Miao a word, and then made a gesture of invitation. After Li Daniu bowed his hands and returned the salute, he walked to the yard first. The two figures had just disappeared from the door, and Qian Miao couldn't wait to rush under the crabapple tree , jumped suddenly, picked up a few blue fruits, took one and stuffed it into the mouth, just after chewing, a sour taste made him open his mouth and spit out all the pomace, and then spit out a few mouthfuls .

"Guangshi Li, how many employees does Shengyuan Dairy have now? How many cows are kept? How much milk is produced every day? What is the annual profit?"

Qian Mu, who walked side by side with Li Daniu on the street, was the first to ask his own question.

"In the beginning, the dairy farm had 160 cows, all of which came from the grasslands outside the Great Wall, and the milk production was not very high. Half a year later, His Highness purchased another 220 Hongyi cows from overseas, and the milk production increased greatly.

Mr. Qian did not know that there are generally three periods of milk production for a cow, namely, the weaning period, the vigorous milking period and the weak milking period. The weaning period is usually about [-] days, before the cow calving; For more than three months, the time is after the cubs are born, and the other time is the milking period.

Except for no milk production during the weaning period, during the peak milk production season, a cow usually produces more than 35 catties of milk per day, and better cows can produce about [-] catties; the period of evaporated milk is relatively long. The daily milk production is about five to twenty catties. "

Li Daniu suddenly became interested when he mentioned the matter about the cows.
