Chapter 559 Persuading the Captain
When Wu Sufen heard what the captain said, she immediately became curious and asked the captain, "Boss, what suggestions did Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing give you, and why can't they be implemented?
Tell me about it."
The captain did not hide anything and told them the two's proposals and explained the reasons why they could not be implemented.
After listening to this, Wu Sufen couldn't help but sigh, "Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, your idea is good. If it succeeds, you can really make a lot of money.
Although the lack of food for feeding poultry is one of the reasons, it can be solved by being more diligent and asking the children in the production team and the elderly who do not work to cut more grass for the pigs. However, those two problems are the fatal reasons.
There were production teams before, and they had thought of developing breeding. At the beginning, they did it in a very hurry, and even alarmed the surrounding areas. But in less than two months, all the chickens, ducks and geese died of the plague, and the pigs were almost all dead. It even almost affected the chickens raised by each household in the team, and even spread to other production teams.
It was because of such painful lessons that our production teams gave up this idea and focused on making a living from the crops.
So don't think that your captain is unsympathetic. We are just afraid of him.
Poultry plague is a common occurrence. Once it breaks out, it can affect the entire production team, even the entire commune, or the entire Linshan Town."
Zhao Junhao heard this and said quickly, "Aunt, you don't need to say more. After listening to the captain's words, we understood the captain's difficulties and gave up that idea."
"So, do you have any new ideas when you come here today?" the captain asked curiously.
"We came here today because of that matter."
The captain frowned, "Didn't you just say that you gave up? Why are you saying that what you came to talk about is related to this? Isn't this contradictory?"
"Captain, please don't be impatient. Listen to us patiently."
"After listening to what you said yesterday, Haozi and I felt it was a pity. We were thinking that if poultry got sick, it was just like a human being getting sick.
Since human illnesses can be cured with medicine, can animals also be cured with medicine when they are sick? "
When Wu Sufen heard this, she added, "You are right, there really are doctors who specialize in treating animals.
There is a veterinary station in our town, and there are veterinarians who specialize in treating these poultry in the countryside."
"Aunt, is there no way for the veterinarians in this town to prevent and treat this plague?" Zhao Junhao asked.
Wu Sufen sighed, "If they had a way, this wouldn't be the case now.
They can only cure some common diseases, but not plague.
But if it is some common disease, those of us who are used to raising poultry can treat it ourselves, so there is no need for them.
So, the vets in those veterinary stations are basically just for show and are not useful at all.”
“Maybe their skills are not up to par.
But we don’t believe that this poultry plague is really incurable.” said Zhao Junhao.
"Haozi and I had this idea in mind, so we thought of Liu Jingxue and Liu Zhiqing.
I think the team leader and my aunt both know about Liu Zhiqing's ability to make medicines, so I don't need to say more.
We wondered if she had a way to cure poultry plague and the problem of pigs eating too much but not gaining weight.
So Haozi and I went to find Liu Zhiqing, told her these two problems, and asked her if she had any solution.
When the two people mentioned Liu Jingxue, the captain immediately became interested.
He knew Liu Jingxue's ability. Didn't he see that they hadn't gone to the commune to get medicine this year? As long as the villagers in the production team felt uncomfortable, if it was a minor problem, they would go directly to the health center to get the right medicine and recover quickly.
If the problem is serious, you can secretly go to the cowshed to see Xiaoxue's aunt, and then take the prescription to the health center to get medicine, and it can be cured quickly.
If it weren't for my aunt's current identity, which made it difficult to tell outsiders, the team leader would have wanted to publicize it widely in order to protect her, and let people from other production teams come to his production team for medical treatment, so as to increase the production team's income.
When the captain heard that the two had gone to Liu Jingxue and told her about the incident, he immediately asked, "How is it, what did Xiaoxue say, does she have any solution?"
It is not difficult to hear that the captain's words are full of expectations.
"Liu Zhiqing said that she also learned to make medicine for animals. However, because she had always lived in the city and had never come into contact with poultry, she had no chance to try.
She felt that this poultry plague might be just like the flu or other infectious diseases that spread among humans, and there must be medicine to prevent and treat it.
Also, the reason why pigs do not grow meat even if they eat a lot may be due to a lack of certain nutrients. Just like when a person is sick and needs to supplement nutrition, perhaps supplementing those nutrients should be able to solve this problem.
So she plans to study and see if she can solve these two problems." Zhou Mingxuan said.
Hearing Zhou Mingxuan say this, Wu Sufen immediately became excited, "Are you serious? Xiaoxue really plans to research drugs to prevent and treat poultry plague?"
"Aunt, how could we possibly lie to you and the captain about this?
Liu Zhiqing did say that. ", Zhao Junhao replied,
"At first, Liu Zhiqing wanted us to get her some poultry chicks to raise for her research, but then a problem arose.
If the weather is warm, we can build a cage for her outside, which will be fine.
But it is about to snow, and we can't just open any cage to free it. The poultry will freeze to death, so we must take measures to keep them warm, and this fire wall is definitely necessary.
But now it's about to snow, and there's no way to build a firewall at her place.
But if we put this off until next year when the weather gets warmer, we would have wasted half a year.
The most important thing is that this plague may be like the common cold, and it is more likely to spread when the weather is cold. It is not the right time to study it now."
“You are right, poultry are more susceptible to plague when the weather is cold.
If this is delayed for half a year, poultry will not be so prone to disease by then, and it will not be a good time for research.
The most important thing is that Xiaoxue will have to go to work and make medicine by then, so she won’t have time to study this.” Wu Sufen agreed.
Zhao Junhao said, "Besides this, there is another point. Xiaoxue has never raised poultry before, and we are worried that she might kill those little creatures.
Besides, she didn’t have any food to feed the poultry.”
The captain glanced at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao. Since these two people said that Xiaoxue wanted to study something and raised these questions, they were definitely not shooting in the dark and must have a solution.
Not wanting to play the guessing game with the two, the captain asked directly, "What do you two think? Just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."
