Chapter 555 Proposal Rejected
Liu Jingxue leisurely eats fruits, watches variety shows and enjoys a good life in her space.
Yesterday she went into the mountains twice and brought back three times more prey than last time. She asked Zhou Mingxuan, Zhao Junhao and several elders in the cowshed to pickle them.
After she got the things back, she originally planned to help out there, but was driven back by several elders.
He only said that she had gone into the mountains twice in one day and dragged back so many things, so she must be tired. He asked her to eat the dinner specially left for her and then come back to have a good rest. There were six of them, so they had enough manpower to handle those things, and she didn't need to help.
What they didn't know was that the batch of prey she brought back in the morning was really brought by her from the deep mountains, but the latter batch was brought by her from the space.
The second time she entered the mountain, Liu Jingxue scanned with her spiritual sense and found that there was no one around, so she went straight into the space and practiced in it until it was dark outside and there was no one else in the mountain. Then she came out of the space and went down the mountain dragging the prey prepared by Tuanzi.
Liu Jingxue felt so happy when she thought about the next six months when she wouldn't have to work and no one would disturb her and she could enjoy a wonderful life.
With such a long period of time, as long as she concentrates on practicing, she should be able to break through the ninth level of Qi training.
As for whether she could break through to the foundation-building stage, that was unclear. She could only say that she would try her best.
What Liu Jingxue didn't know was that at this moment Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were walking out of the brigade headquarters with frustrated looks on their faces and were heading towards her house.
Liu Jingxue, who was enjoying herself in the space, changed her clothes quickly after being reminded by Tuanzi, left the space, tidied up the outside, and ran to open the door for the two of them.
"Didn't you two stay up late last night to marinate the meat? Why did you come to my place instead of resting at home?" Liu Jingxue asked curiously.
Zhou Mingxuan explained, "We had a lot of people, so we finished the work before 12 o'clock last night and went home to rest, so we didn't lose much sleep."
"Then why did you come to my place? Is there not enough meat?
Don't worry, these are just for making bacon, I'll bring some back from time to time."
"It's not about this. There's enough bacon for us to send out and eat ourselves.
We came here for something else." Zhou Mingxuan explained.
Zhao Junhao interrupted and said, "Xiaoxue, you suggested before that we talk to the team leader and let the team start breeding, but the team leader refused."
"How is it possible? This is obviously a money-making business, how could the team leader refuse it?" Liu Jingxue was a little puzzled, and then she remembered something, "Is it because the production team is short of food?"
"Insufficient food is only a small reason. The main reason why the captain rejected this proposal is that he felt the risk was too great and there was a high possibility of losing all his money," said Zhou Mingxuan.
"Why is this?" Liu Jingxue was even more puzzled. In her opinion, in such an era of meat shortage, it was impossible to lose money by developing the breeding industry.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao carefully explained to Liu Jingxue the reasons why the captain refused.
After listening to the two people's words, Liu Jingxue frowned, "The team leader said that they have been raising pigs for nearly ten months, but the largest pig weighs only about 100 kilograms, and some even weigh less than 100 kilograms. They don't meet the standard for the pigs to be delivered on the mission?"
Zhao Junhao nodded, "That's what the captain said."
How is this possible? Liu Jingxue remembered a program she watched in modern times, which said that it only takes 6 months for pigs to be marketed, and they usually weigh more than kilograms, and well-raised ones can weigh more than kilograms.
How come the pigs here don’t even grow to 100 kilograms after being raised for ten months?
What went wrong? Was it the different breed or the food?
But she remembered that even in modern times, many rural areas raised pigs, which were fed with leftovers, rotten vegetable leaves, and rice bran.
There may be no leftovers to feed pigs in this era, but there will definitely be plenty of green vegetables, vegetable leaves, and rice bran.
"The team leader said that pigs don't grow meat because they are hungry because they have nothing to eat, or is there some other reason?" Liu Jingxue asked.
"We asked, and the team leader said that there are many pig farmers in the team, and they raise them very carefully, feeding them more than three meals a day, and some even feed them five or six meals a day, but the pigs just don't grow meat.
And not gaining weight is a small matter. You get sick easily, and the weight you have gained is lost again, and you may even die from illness.
The same goes for chickens. They can get sick easily and all of them may die if they get sick.
It is because of these reasons that the team does not dare to engage in breeding.
Even as for raising pigs, the team would not have planned to do so if it were not for the regulations on the number of pigs that the production team had to submit each year.
As for raising chickens, every household only raises the number allowed by policy, and dares not raise more, for fear that all chickens will get sick and die.”
Liu Jingxue was also a little confused. Why was it different from what she had imagined?
She kept so many poultry in the space, and none of them had plague or disease. They ate grass, vegetable leaves, and rice bran, and didn't even cook pig food like the villagers did. How could they gain so much weight?
"Tuanzi, have you ever fed those poultry extra things without telling me? Why don't they get sick and grow so much weight?" Liu Jingxue asked Tuanzi in her mind.
“Master, I didn’t ask them anything special.
It is not natural that the animals kept in the space do not get sick. Just look at what they eat.
What they eat, drink, and even the air they breathe is full of spiritual energy, so how could they get sick or not grow flesh?"
Liu Jingxue asked Tuanzi, "Why do you think the poultry raised by the production team are different from modern ones, and they are prone to disease and don't grow meat?"
“Master, I don’t understand.
But I remember that when you bought animal cubs in modern times, those merchants gave you breeding manuals and even some feed.
Why don't you take a look at the breeding manual and analyze the feed ingredients to see if they can be useful for the production team's breeding.
As for those plagues, think carefully about the inheritance left by the second owner and see if there is anything related to animals.
I remember that the second owner studied animals at that time, so he should have left some legacy.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingxue roughly searched in her mind and found that the inheritance left by the second owner did contain medicine related to animal health, but she had always thought that she had overlooked it.
But Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were here, so she couldn't check her memory carefully, so she just said to them, "Since it's not a food problem, then it's easy to deal with.
As for plague, I will research to see if there is any medicine that can treat or even prevent it.
As for raising pigs, they eat a lot but don't gain weight. I feel that it is just like people who eat but become thinner and thinner. It should be a nutritional deficiency in some aspect, which can be regarded as a disease.
I'm also researching to see if there is any way to solve this problem.
With these two problems solved, as long as the captains and others are not confused, they will no longer oppose the development of aquaculture."
