Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 167 Can I go in and take a look?

Gu Zhan has been taking care of the laboratory affairs these days, while Zhao Baogen is keeping an eye on the cattle farm.

During this period, several more cows became pregnant successfully.

Taking care of more than 30 pregnant cows is not a trivial matter. In addition to arranging team members to take care of them, Zhao Baogen also takes care of them himself most of the time.

During this period, there was plenty of green grass, and Gu Zhan increased the proportion of green fodder according to the actual situation. Dozens of cows were raised to be fat and strong.

The cattle breeding of the Shanghe Village Production Brigade is a key focus of the county and also a key focus of the commune.

Li Fu always wanted to go to the scene to take a look, but when he thought of Zhao Baogen and Gu Zhan, he felt angry and simply left it alone. He only asked a few questions during the commune meeting.

But it would be unreasonable if he didn't go and take a look today, because he was informed that Secretary Tian might come to Xiaohe Town Commune to investigate the agricultural development this year. It would be unreasonable if he was completely in the dark about the production situation in Shanghe Village at that time.

So, during a meeting of the production teams, he asked Zhao Baogen in front of everyone, "Captain Zhao, how about we organize the captains of the other teams to visit your cattle farm in Shanghe Village?"

Since Li Fu had said so, Zhao Baogen naturally couldn't refuse, so he followed Li Fu's words and said, "This is an honor for the Shanghe Village Production Brigade. Everyone is very welcome."

Seeing Zhao Baogen's humble and submissive look, Li Fu suddenly felt that all the face he had lost before was recovered.

"Okay, let's go now."

A group of people rode bicycles in a mighty procession towards the Shanghe Village Production Brigade, attracting the attention and speculation of passers-by, who thought something important was going on.

When they arrived at Shanghe Village, Zhao Baogen rode his bicycle in front and led everyone straight to the cattle farm.

When everyone was approaching the cattle farm, they could already faintly hear the calls of cows, one after another, which sounded very lively.

The team leaders of Xiahe Village and Nanhe Village knew the situation. Apart from being drooling over it, they also felt a little regretful. They only hated that their production team did not produce a young man as outstanding as Gu Zhan.

However, when the captains of the other production teams heard so many cows mooing, they were filled with surprise and envy.

The captains of the two production brigades that were farther away from the Shanghe Village Production Brigade had not heard of the news of cattle raising in Shanghe Village, and were all speculating at the moment.

"Listen to the sound. How many cows are there?"

"I think there are thirty of them."

"I feel so too."

Arriving at the open space in front of the cattle farm gate, Zhao Baogen got off his bicycle and pointed at the fence outside the cattle farm and said with a smile: "We're here."

Everyone got off the bus at the local brake: "Is this it?"

"Yes, this is it."

"It doesn't look small."

"It's quite large indeed. There are twelve cow sheds. I'll show you inside."

As Zhao Baogen was marching in with his men, Zhou Liang rushed over to greet them: "Director, captains, please come in."

Everyone walked along the path in the middle of the cow sheds on both sides, looking at the two neatly arranged rows of cow sheds on both sides, their eyes full of envy.

It was surprising that such a large-scale cattle farm was actually run by Shanghe Village. Everyone, including Li Fu, could not suppress the shock in their eyes.

He knew that the cattle farm in Shanghe Village was quite large, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

"Let me show you the cows first!" said Li Fu.

"Okay, Director."

When Zhou Liang heard what Li Fu said, he led everyone to the nearest cowshed.

The weather is hot now, and the straw curtains in the cowshed are not covered. Standing outside the outermost low wall of the cowshed, you can easily see what is going on inside.

Everyone only saw that every yellow cattle was fat and strong, with smooth fur. The most amazing thing was that these yellow cattle all had calves in their bellies.

"This..." Some people didn't know how to describe the shocking scene before them for a moment. It was just a glance.

Seeing this, Zhou Liang led everyone to continue walking forward: "Everyone follow me."

They didn't stop until they had looked at all twelve cow sheds.

"How many cows do you have in total?" someone asked Zhao Baogen.

"Fifty!"

This number was undoubtedly an astronomical figure at that time, especially for cattle. It should be said that the number of cattle raised by the entire Shanghe Village Production Brigade was more than the number of cattle raised by all the production brigades in Xiaohe Town Commune combined.

For a time, everyone had different thoughts.

Suddenly, someone saw a row of brick houses with bright glass windows outside the wall from a distance, pointed and asked, "What is that?"

Zhao Baogen paused. "That's a laboratory that our brigade is collaborating with the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. We're doing some research there."

Zhao Baogen, a rough guy, couldn't tell the specific name of the research project, but he just felt that the name sounded very impressive, and usually the people in the team there didn't dare to disturb them easily.

"Let's go over and take a look!"

Zhao Baogen hesitated for a moment, thinking that given Li Fu's personality, it would not be good to refuse directly, so he led everyone out of the cattle farm and walked towards the laboratory.

Gu Zhan and his team have already started the third day of repetitive experiments. They are constantly gaining experience, recording data, and looking for problems in the repetitive work.

Time is running out and everyone is concentrating on the task at hand and has no time to pay attention to what is happening outside.

Seeing the clean, sturdy exterior walls and the gleaming glass windows, everyone present was surprised. When did Shanghe Village have houses like this? Aren't those only found in the county?

And what's that humming machine outside the house? They've never even seen it.

Following everyone's gaze, Zhao Baogen took the initiative to explain: "That thing outside is a generator. With this thing, the light bulbs in our rooms can be used."

Zhao Baogen couldn't remember the names of the rest of the equipment, he only mentioned the light bulb.

As expected, everyone saw through the glass window the incandescent light facing the laboratory workbench and the ultraviolet lamp for sterilization and disinfection.

This was the first time they saw electric lights emitting white and purple light. The light bulbs in the county all emitted dim light, but the lights here were actually white?

Everyone was a little overwhelmed to react for a moment.

"This lamp is different from the ones in the county!" Li Quan was also very curious.

Zhao Baogen smiled sheepishly and said, "This was brought by someone from the province. We don't know what the lamp is called."

Everyone wanted to hear Zhao Baogen's explanation, but Zhao Baogen didn't know anything, so they immediately lost interest.

Li Fu watched for a while as several people wearing white masks were busy working inside. Seeing that Zhao Baogen had no intention of speaking, he said, "Captain Zhao, can we go in and take a look?"
