The wine had passed three rounds and the food had passed five flavours.
The farmer talked about the reason for calling Wu Jun back this time.
“Little Wu, these days I’ve been around both the farm and the winery.”
The farmer directly said his observations, “I found that you seem to have a clear division of labour and sincere cooperation between these industries now, but there is something missing that ties the two industries together.”
The rice produced by Hongfu Agriculture was sent to Junheng 998 Winery to brew wine, and there had always been an upstream and downstream supply and demand relationship between the two.
Through scientific ratios, coupled with reasonable expansion, the current ideal of self-sufficiency and self-production and self-marketing has basically been achieved between the two enterprises.
The vast majority of the rice produced by Hongfu Farm is used by Junheng 998 Wine Co. Ltd. as raw material for brewing wine, which is then sold for cash.
These industrial layouts were figured out by Wu Jun himself before Angel appeared.
Angel also agreed with this model, and only offered some constructive comments to make the linkage between the two companies more frequent and closer.
Wu Jun had always felt that this model was good and there was nothing that needed to be improved.
I didn’t expect that Master Nong had just come to Xiao Wu Zhuang in less than a week’s time and found out what needed to be improved.
Master Nong’s attainment in this aspect of agriculture was undoubted.
Wu Jun asked in a rare serious manner, “Elder Nong, what do you think is missing.”
Wu Guangqiang also looked at the farmer with a curious face.
He had been the one who accompanied Farmer around in the past few days, turning the farm to the winery and researching around.
In the middle of the research process, Master Farmer had been jotting down something in a small notebook from time to time, looking very mysterious.
“Little Wu, tell me what year of the lunar calendar is next year?”
Instead of directly telling Wu Jun the answer, the farmer asked a question that looked windy.
The father and son of the Wu family looked at each other in disbelief, and Wu Jun said, “Next year is is the year of the Xin Clown Ox on the lunar calendar.”
Although New Year’s Day had already passed at this moment, there were still more than twenty days before the Chinese New Year, the traditional Chinese New Year.
So it was still at the tip of the tail end of the Gengzi Rat Year.
“Elder Nong, why are you suddenly asking this?”Wu Jun put down the chopsticks in his hand with a puzzled look, “Is there any important connection between what year is next year and what we are about to say?”
Wu Jun’s eyes were strange, looking at Nong Lao with a bit of the meaning of looking at a godly man.
Nong Lao couldn’t have been around the two businesses for a few days and given a look at the feng shui, right?
Nongfu nodded, smilingly said, “Of course it’s related, what I said you lacked, you have mentioned it yourself just now.”
“I mentioned it myself? How come I don’t know.”Wu Jun was even more puzzled.
“Could it be ……,” Wu Guangqiang said in a sudden realisation, “Nong Lao, are you saying that what our farm lacks is cattle?”
“That’s right lo, it’s cattle.”The farmer looked at Wu Guangqiang and joked, “It’s still Guangqiang your brain is alive, your family boy only has money left in his head.”
“I see what you mean.”Wu Guangqiang said with a flushed face, “You are saying that our farm needs to introduce ploughing oxen to plough, so that since it is more primitive, more pure, and more in line with our farm’s corporate image of producing organic and green food, and go as far as possible to de-mechanise it.”
Wu Jun frowned slightly as he listened from the sidelines.
From the tributes to the temples, to the power of the farming civilisation and the food of the nomadic civilisation, and even used in wars, the cow as a creature can be called an important participant in the process of human civilisation.
Especially the cattle ploughing technique that had continued for thousands of years in China, the cattle had always helped people plough the land, becoming an indispensable partner in agricultural production.
It was not until the end of the 20th century that oxen ploughing was gradually replaced by agricultural mechanisation.
Although oxen ploughing technology has faded from the stage of history, the image of oxen, which is kind by nature and hard-working, has always been Avray imprinted in people’s minds and is indelible.
Mr Lu Xun even left behind “I am like a cow, what I eat is grass, what I milk out is milk and blood”.Such a famous saying.
This quote, which explains the spirit of dedication, is the best evaluation of the cow.
Cross-eyed and cold, stooping down to be a child’s cow.
The creature cow is often closely associated with devotion.
However, although cows are great, there is no need to reintroduce cattle ploughing in order to pursue the so-called green and organic technology, right?
“Erm …… no, Guangqiang, where are you thinking.”The farmer was speechless after hearing Wu Guangqiang’s words.
Wu Guangqiang said with an innocent face, “Ah? Isn’t that what you meant, old man Nong?”
“Elder, don’t beat around the bush, my father and I are not even worthy of lifting your shoes with our insights and knowledge in agriculture, so if you have something to say, just say it.”Wu Jun cleverly slapped the farmer on the side with a rainbow fart.
The farmer also didn’t hide anything, and directly opened the door, “What I mean is, I do want to introduce cattle, however, this cattle is not used for farm farming, but to serve the winery side.”
“For the winery side?”The Wu family’s father and son were puzzled.
They still didn’t understand what the relationship between the cattle and the winery side was.
Apart from transport, these two could not think of any other place where cattle could be used.
The farmer shook his head and smiled, solving the mystery and said, “In the past few days, I found out that the leftover wine lees from the brewery side of Jun Heng 998 Winery have been paid to be handed over to the waste disposal centre side for disposal, right?”
Wu Jun understood this situation and nodded his head and said:
“Yeah, the wine lees left over from the daily production is just too much.
If we don’t find a professional organisation to dispose of it in time, it will not only have an impact on the environmental hygiene of the winery.
If we don’t find a professional organisation to dispose of it in time, it will not only affect the environmental hygiene of the winery, but may also have an adverse effect on the products produced by the winery.”
The farmer said bitterly, “There’s still a big difference between the lees of rice wine and the lees of other grain wines.
What a good thing, how could you throw it all away and pay someone to dispose of it, I’ve never seen you be such a loser.”
Wu Jun raised his eyes to the farmer and said thoughtfully, “Elder Farmer, what you mean is to use those lees from the production of wine to feed the cattle?”
“That’s right! Unlike the solid lees of other mixed grain wines, the lees of rice wine are liquid.”
The farmer said with a fluttering brow, “Mixing it into the cattle’s feed according to a certain ratio won’t affect the cattle’s ability to eat grass at all, and the lees contain a certain amount of alcohol.
Moreover, the wine lees contain a certain amount of alcohol, so after feeding, the cows can lie down and ruminate at ease.
The cattle’s fur is also more shiny and smooth, and the meat is more tender compared to ordinary beef.
According to my estimation, the distillery’s daily output of wine lees is enough to feed thousands of beef cattle.”
Wu Jun and Wu Guangqiang listened to the farmer’s speech with a fluttering brow, and at the same time exclaimed in their hearts that they were good guys, directly good guys!
In the past, they often heard people say that turning waste into treasure, this is turning waste into treasure, isn’t it?
“Or farmer old you see a lot of knowledge ah!”Wu Jun heartily praised a sentence, “If not for your discovery of the problem, we still don’t know how many resources we have to waste away and how much less money we make.”
“I finally understand today what the sages meant when they said, ‘Listening to you is better than reading for ten years’.”
Wu Guangqiang similarly sighed on the side: “Nong Lao’s simple few words are of great significance to our Junheng Group.”
“We are all family, who will I help if I don’t help you.”Nong said smilingly, he was very flattered by the respect that the Wu family members showed in front of him.
“Tomorrow I’ll go to Uncle Xu’s side for a meeting, the cattle farm has to be set up as soon as possible.”Wu Jun methodically said, “Right now there is no suitable place to store the wine lees, so we can only still follow the original practice and give it to the waste disposal centre first.”
Wu Guangqiang heard his son’s words and was heartbroken.
Previously did not know about this matter even so, now know, throw out these are money ah!
Suddenly, Wu Guangqiang’s mind buzzed, and he thought of another problem arising from this.
The problem of the lees of Junheng Wine Industry Co.
However, the other problem caused by the same can not be ignored.
An adult cow a day to eat dozens of pounds of food, quality and energy balance, excretion of feces and urine at least a dozen or twenty pounds, you can imagine a cattle ranch a year to find a way to deal with how much cow manure.
Cow dung is not sold every day, sometimes it has to be piled up for several months.
If the farm does not handle it well, especially if it rains and the cow manure is washed away by the rain, then it will definitely cause staining.
The statement that cattle farming is perennially in the top three pollution rankings in the farming industry is not an empty one.
Faeces, urine, sewage, waste, methane, carbon dioxide, are all pollutants produced by cattle farms.
In the current environment of environmental protection policy, the decision to raise cattle will not be too hasty?
Unlike Wu Jun’s joy, Wu Guangqiang was hesitant.
In order to deal with wine lees, produce more pollution, this is not a little bit more than the loss?
Wu Guangqiang worded in his mind for a while, raised his eyes to the farmer and asked, “That, Elder Farmer, there’s something I can’t figure out.”
The farmer turned to look at Wu Guangqiang, the light in his gaze flickered as if he had already seen through his mind.
“Guangqiang, are you trying to say that the problem of pollution from cattle farms is no less than the pollution from wine lees? Raising cattle in order to dispose of the wine lees, is this matter not suspected of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall in your thoughts?”
Wu Jun slapped his head when he heard the old man’s words, just now he was only focusing on being happy that he could earn more money from raising cattle.
Regarding environmental pollution and all this, he really didn’t think about it and was careless.
Wu Guangqiang frowned and said, “It can’t be arbitrarily described as tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, after all, one more industry can also increase some employment opportunities and provide some jobs for the nearby townspeople.”
“Adding jobs is one of the aspects.”It was as if the farmer had already thought that Wu Guangqiang would ask this, and he also had the words to respond long ago, “I don’t blame you for thinking too much, there are some details in this plan that I didn’t explain clearly with you and Xiao Wu.”
“Oh? What other details?”Wu Jun urged from the side, “Master, my father and I are both acute, there are words that you have finished in one go, don’t rush us master and son.”
Farmer raised his eyes to Wu Jun, shook his head and smiled and said, “Your kid just can’t stay calm when he should be calm, and when he shouldn’t be calm, he is more calm than anyone else.”
Wu Jun was confused by the old man’s words, what is calm and composed, he had no idea what the old man was talking about.
The farmer continued, “I see that don’t we have fish in the shed on our farm? The cow dung will be fermented to remove ammonia nitrogen, and it will be piled up by the fish pond, and with the watering seeping into the fish pond, this algae provides nutrition, so that the small fish and shrimp in the water will not lack food.
Following the principle that big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, the intervention of cow dung not only improves the water quality, but also maintains the ecological balance in the water, which in turn improves the yield and quality of the fish in the field borders.”
Wu Jun and Wu Guangqiang heard a blank stare, especially Wu Guangqiang was most touched.
He was born a farmer’s son and grew up in the countryside.
Both of his parents were also farmers who faced the soil and worked in the fields for decades.
The same farmers, he will only be stupid and step by step farming, how can the other farmer is so good!
Many of the problems that are difficult to solve in their own view, the old man solved in a few words.
Wu Jun marvelled: “You can still play like this? I didn’t realise that there are so many doorways within agriculture, one ring after another, living and breathing.”
Wu Guangqiang gave a thumbs up towards the farmer, “Nong Lao, I’m really convinced, if I could get your guidance earlier, maybe I would have flown the coop and let Xiao Jun be a rich second generation in peace.”
Farmer shook his head and smiled and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to pat yourselves on the back first, my words are not finished yet.”
“Oh, continue, please continue your performance, old man and I are all ears.”Wu Jun made a please gesture towards the farmer, making a gesture of washing his ears.
“You brat.”The farmer gave Wu Jun a blank look and continued, “On the one hand, cow dung can be mixed into the field beds to raise fish and shrimp, there is another use for cow dung which is to raise fungi, edible fungi.”
Wu Guangqiang’s eyes lit up and said, “Right, right, right! After you say so I remembered, our next village there is an old man is to use cow dung to raise mushrooms, raise out of the taste of mushrooms is quite good, every big set can sell a hundred pounds.”
“Convinced, Nong Lao I am really convinced.”Wu Jun gave a thumbs up towards the farmer, “With such a cycle down, not only the distillery’s lees are fully utilised, the farm’s fish and shrimp also have nutrients, and while the cattle farm raises cattle to increase their income, it also develops the fungus raising industry.”
“Add a cow in and the whole industry chain is revitalised.”Wu Guangqiang’s admiration for the farmer was now as if it was a torrent of continuous water.
The farmer had a constant smile on his face, trying to pretend to be calm, but in fact, he was still enjoying the compliments and elevation from both the Wu family’s father and son.
All people had the psychological need to be respected and praised, even the farmer summoned from the [Resource Tycoon] was no exception.
“This is for you, I’ve written down some of the details in the book, just find some people who are good at what they do to implement it.”The farmer handed a small book to Wu Jun.
Wu Jun took the small book and flicked through it, it was an incomparably detailed business plan.
It was about the scale of the cattle farm, the required site, the various functional buildings that needed to be constructed.
The environmental protection equipment that needs to be purchased, the number of workers that needs to be recruited, and so on and so forth.
As long as Wu Jun could think of it, the farmer had already thought of it in advance and listed it out.
“Old master, nothing more to say, I’ll drink first and toast you again!”
Wu Jun picked up his wine cup and tilted his neck to dry a glass.
