Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 67 There are always more solutions than difficulties

If things go this way, the farm employees will definitely complain. How will Zhao Dajun continue to do his job as the farm director?
The bureau has not been given any autonomy at all. If there is a blockage in funding in the future, everyone will starve.

"How about we work out a tiered distribution plan with the bureau? Let me give you an example. For example, if we raise eight pigs a year, the bureau will take them all. If we raise 8 pigs, we will keep one. If we raise 10 pigs, we will keep two."

We cannot talk about contracting now, we can only start by motivating employees to work more actively.

This requires the farm to expand production, and it cannot continue to be lax as before. The foundation of Laolonghe Farm is still good, but the responsibilities and rights are not well divided, and everyone is not active and positive in their work.

"It's difficult! Now people like Chu Xiaowei have been transferred to formal employees, and their salaries are paid monthly. The bureau will not agree to your distribution plan. However, I can try to make everyone more diligent."

Zhao Dajun is not quite adapted to the current changes, but still wants to do something.

Half of this year has passed, and we have to think about the coming year.

However, the farm staff had no good ideas and could only start from expanding the planting area. Some people proposed to increase the output of wheat and corn next year, and some proposed to expand the scale of breeding and so on.

Du Shaojie now understands Zhao Dajun's difficulties. The bureau's investment is insufficient and the rewards and punishments are not clear, so the employees' production enthusiasm is not high.

Even if he had more ideas, it was not appropriate to bring them up at this stage. Besides, Director Zhao just came to him to drink and pour out his grievances, and he had no intention of asking him for advice.

Most of the wine in the bottle went into Zhao Dajun's stomach, and he left feeling a little dizzy.

Then came the autumn harvest season, and the whole farm became busy.

As an important part of logistical support, the canteen will supply breakfast and lunch to all people involved in the autumn harvest from now on, and mung bean soup will also be delivered to the fields in the morning and afternoon.

Du Shaojie got up early in the morning, exercised first, and then went directly to the cafeteria.

Breakfast includes large vegetarian buns, corn porridge, and a large bowl of cold mixed shredded vegetables.

The mung bean soup on the stove was already cooking. In the morning, Du Shaojie rode a tricycle and delivered several large buckets of mung bean soup to the fields.

"Master Du, thank you for your hard work! What delicious food are you going to make for lunch?"

When the employees saw Du Shaojie, they all greeted him with a smile.

"Eat noodles for lunch, it's enough to keep you full!"

Du Shaojie stopped the tricycle, and Zhao Dajun looked at the time and asked everyone to rest for a while.

Many people came over with large teapots for drinking water, and Du Shaojie began to scoop mung bean soup for them, ensuring that everyone could drink some, and if there was not enough, they could get more.

After finishing his work here, he rode his bike back to the cafeteria and was almost ready to cook.

Li Guixiang bought some mutton in the morning. The noodle dish did not require too much meat, but she prepared a lot of vegetables.

Du Shaojie cooked a pot of celery, spicy pork and another pot of leek pork with celery, green pepper, chili, radish, tomato and leek. After the dishes were cooked, he and Qin Xiaomei cooked noodles together.

At this time, employees who came to eat came in one after another, and Li Guixiang began to serve them meals.

Perhaps because they had done heavy work today, some people asked for more noodles after eating: "Master Du, please give me more noodles, I'm not full yet."

They didn't talk to Li Guixiang, but shouted loudly towards the kitchen.

"Sister Li, give them some more noodles so they can eat more and work better."

Du Shaojie didn't think it was a trouble. He thought that eating would give him strength. No matter how hard he worked, it would only take a few days.

Li Guixiang muttered something and then started to add noodles to the bowl for these big-bellied men.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

After the autumn harvest was completed, Zhao Dajun held a meeting to praise the canteen, saying that the logistics work was done very well and the employees gave it rave reviews.

After the meeting, Zhao Dajun came to Du Shaojie and said, "This year, the farm is going to try to grow winter wheat. I have invited a few experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to provide technical guidance. They will arrive tomorrow. Master Du, please make sure to entertain them well."

Du Shaojie understood that this was a special treat. "Please rest assured, Director, I will try my best to make sure they are satisfied with the food."

The area where Laolonghe Farm is located should be suitable for growing winter wheat based on all conditions.

The fact that we didn’t try this in previous years is not entirely due to a lack of ambition. The key is that we don’t have the experience and technology in this area. On the other hand, we also need corresponding supporting funds.

The risk is uncontrollable, so no one mentions it.

Recently, Zhao Dajun has been forced into a corner by the bureau. After brainstorming, he decided to try growing winter wheat.

Fortunately, since this year, all industries have begun to turn to "promoting production." He contacted the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and it happened that several experts in this field had resumed work, so he used his connections to invite them to come.

If feasible, the trial planting area of ​​winter wheat will be about one-quarter that of spring wheat.

Faced with tremendous pressure, Zhao Dajun also gave it his all.

"Well, I believe you can complete the task well."

After Zhao Dajun finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

At this moment, a light bulb went off in Du Shaojie's mind and he suddenly had an idea.

"Director, since you've worked so hard, why not build a few vegetable greenhouses? If we can build a good relationship with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the future, technical support will probably be no problem, right?"

Du Shaojie thought of the cabbage, potatoes and radishes for the whole winter, and suddenly he felt sick.

There is a lack of fresh vegetables in winter, and it would be a great help if greenhouses could be built.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that? Hehe, after all, you're a high school student, you have a smart brain. I'll go ask the bureau for some funding, this thing will work."

Zhao Dajun was suddenly enlightened and his thoughts became clear all of a sudden.

Compared with growing winter wheat, the effect of vegetable greenhouses is more immediate.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs running. Greenhouses for vegetables are not new. They were popularized as early as the 60s. However, at present, greenhouses for vegetables are mainly concentrated around large cities. It will probably take until the 80s for them to be vigorously developed.

Fresh vegetables are very precious in winter, and it is easy to exchange them for scarce supplies such as meat and cooking oil.

Du Shaojie started working before he graduated from high school, so he can be called a high school student. However, he can only make a suggestion in this matter, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

The next day.

morning.

Five technicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences drove to the farm.

Zhao Dajun first accompanied them around to check the surrounding geographical environment, then went to the fields to check the soil, water conservancy facilities, etc., and finally checked the meteorological records of previous years.

"Professor Sun, do you think our area is suitable for growing winter wheat?"

"Sure! The farm is in a great location, right in the center of the Laolong River Valley. The temperature and other conditions are suitable, so it's worth a try. Also, don't call me professor, I'm just a technician now."

The oldest of the five was about fifty years old, of medium build, and slightly bald.

His name is Sun Qiang. He used to be a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After resuming work this year, he only held the title of technician.

Sun Qiang is an expert in wheat breeding and cultivation, so his words are highly reliable.

Zhao Dajun couldn't help showing a happy expression and said with a smile: "That's great! Thank you. I hope you can provide us with technical guidance next. After all, the farm has never planted winter wheat before."

　Thank you all for your votes!
