Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 68

When entering the door, the guard didn’t allow you to register. When you saw a car coming, you quickly helped to open the door. This is the convenience of driving. There is no concept of a private car nowadays. Whenever you encounter a car, the person sitting in it is either the leader or a relative of the leader’s family. Well, the family courtyard of the Agricultural College is not a confidential area, and the guards will naturally not make things difficult for him.

The Agricultural College is not a rich unit, and the conditions of the family courtyard are very average. There are a few rows of bungalows in the front and two tube buildings in the back. The flower beds in the middle are all crops, which are very strong.

This is also a reasonable thing. People who live here are either lecturers or associate professors. It is not uncommon to meet a professor once in a while. As for teaching assistants, they are not qualified to allocate houses at all, and they still live in the teachers' dormitory of the school.

Where the lecturers and professors of the Agricultural College lived, if the crops in the flower beds did not grow well, it would be a joke, and the whole school would feel ashamed if it spread.

When he came to the door of the familiar house, Li Lei stopped the car, straightened his clothes, took something from the back seat and held it in his hand, and went up to knock on the door.

After knocking three times, an old lady with glasses, gray hair and elegant demeanor opened the door. Li Lei hurriedly said hello, "Master, I haven't seen you for more than a year. Are you still in good health?"

"You are?" The old lady was a little puzzled. Before Li Lei could introduce herself, she continued, "Don't tell me, let me think about it. I'm sure I'll remember it if it looks familiar!"

"Remember, you are Li Lei from level 77! Your home is in Heyang, and now you work in the Heyang Agricultural Bureau. I remember correctly, right? Come in, come in, come in!"

"Yes, it's me. Teacher, you have a really good memory!" Li Lei retrieved the memory from his mind. When the original owner of this body was still studying at school, he often accepted invitations to come to Professor Shu Yuanchun's house to improve meals.

Occasionally, when eating, I would meet brothers and sisters who have graduated and come to greet them. No matter how many years the visiting brothers and sisters have graduated, the teacher and mother Zhuang Wanhua can report their names and which class of students they are in just thinking about them; Feeling, now it's my turn but I feel warm in my heart.

Just about to turn around, Mrs. Zhuang saw what Li Lei was carrying, and her face drooped, "What is this for? Put it down, let it go, how many times have I said, don't bring anything with me!"

The two teachers often help students, but they never accept gifts from students, even if the student is doing well now.

"Master, this chicken is not for the two of you to eat. It is a grandparent He-Line layer chicken bred in the United States. It just happened to be given to the school for research!" Li Lei knew their temper, so he didn't prepare a personal gift.

"Huh, it looks different." Zhuang Wanhua teaches foreign languages ​​at the Agricultural College. She is not engaged in agricultural research, but she has been with an agricultural expert for half a century, and she often helps Shu Yuanchun translate documents. She has a complete understanding of the field of agriculture. No worse than ordinary lecturers.

Only now was Li Lei allowed to enter the house, and Zhuang Wanhua yelled as she walked, "Old Shu, look who came to see you?"

Shu Yuanchun is a professor and head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, and Zhuang Wanhua is also an associate professor, but their residence is only two and a half rooms, a living room, a bedroom and study, and half a kitchen.

At this time, Shu Yuanchun was reading materials in the bedroom, and came out of the room when he heard the call, "Oh, it's Li Lei, and you're back in Zhongzhou for a business trip?"

"Hello teacher!" Li Lei bowed respectfully, helped Shu Yuanchun sit down beside the wicker chair, and then replied, "Teacher, I am no longer working in the Agricultural Bureau!"

"Changed jobs? What unit did you transfer to? Let me tell you, it's better to stay in the Agricultural Bureau. After studying agriculture for four years, if you go to another unit, wouldn't you lose all the hard work you have learned for so many years? Hey, this chicken What breed is it?" Just as Shu Yuanchun was halfway through speaking, he was attracted by the chicken that Li Lei was carrying.

"The grandparent chicken of the American Hailan laying hen, the egg laying time of this kind of laying hen is usually about 130-140 days, the average laying age is 149 days, and the available laying life is 80 weeks; 60 weeks It can lay about 248 eggs at a time, about 74 eggs when it reaches 320 weeks of age, and about 80 eggs when it reaches 347 weeks of age. The feed-to-egg ratio is only 2.1, which is much better than our local laying hens!"

Li Lei didn't talk about those nonsensical things. For experts, the most important thing is the data, and the most important data of laying hens is naturally the egg production and the ratio of eggs to eggs.

The feed-to-egg ratio is an important criterion for whether a laying hen has commercial potential. Generally speaking, it means how much feed a laying hen eats to produce one kilogram of eggs. Hyline laying hens only need to feed 2.1 kilograms of feed to lay one kilogram of eggs. This ratio is quite horrible.

"The feed-to-egg ratio of free-range chickens in our rural areas is almost above 4.3, and the feed-to-egg ratio of layer hens in farms is also over 3. The gap is really too big!" Shu Yuanchun sighed.

In later generations, every 0.1 percentage point reduction in the feed-to-egg ratio will result in an extra five yuan for a chicken. This shows the gap between the local breeds of laying hens and the Hy-Line laying hens.

"They started earlier than us. Hy-Line and Roman started breeding in the 30s, which is much earlier than us. But I believe that as long as you work hard, you will catch up sooner or later."

"These two sets of grandparent chickens should be given to the school for research. These are the relevant materials." Li Lei put down the chicken coop, took out a stack of materials and handed them over.

"Okay, okay, thank you on behalf of the school!" Shu Yuanchun will definitely not accept anything else, and he can't find a reason to refuse this, "How much is this chicken? Where did you get it? I'll give you the money first." Here it is, go back to the school for reimbursement!"

"No, I donated it to the school! My alma mater has trained me for so many years, so what's the point of paying for a few chickens? Besides, I came here this time to ask my alma mater for help!" Li Lei resolutely refused to accept it.

"Xiao Lei, I remember it was mentioned in the newspaper last year that someone in Heyang County introduced American laying hens. Could it be you?" Zhuang Wanhua also remembered.

"Didn't I just say that I no longer work in the Agricultural Bureau!" Li Lei slowly talked about his experience this year, from staying without pay to going south to the Special Economic Zone, and then returning to the village to run a chicken farm.

Finally, I talked about my own difficulties, "Now the chicken farm is getting bigger and bigger, and the feed factory is also under construction. I have also encountered some problems. Other problems are better to talk about. The key is that there are no talents, especially those who are familiar with agriculture. !"

"So I can only ask my alma mater for help. I want to ask my alma mater to help me find some talents! Teacher, you must help me with this favor!"

"It's a pity that you left the Agricultural Bureau, but it's useful to be able to run such a large farm; I must support what you said logically, but you also know the current policy. College graduates are all allocated uniformly. ! I can't help it!"

"I know, so I plan to learn Cao Cao!"

　I am going to the countryside today to help the poverty alleviation cadres and donate some money to poor students. Let me update it once
