Chapter 172: Passing By (Additional Update)
July 27.
Jiang Miao ended his scientific research work in Monan.
After a month of growth, the fairy beans have completely dyed the entire Taminchakan Desert green. A few areas that still maintain a khaki color are the Silver Sand Bay Scenic Area and the Taminchakan Scenic Area. .
He once again stood on the roof of the container at the north gate of the Taminchagan base, and everything he saw was vibrant green.
The seedling condition of Senzu soybeans is much higher than that of ordinary short-growing soybean varieties. It has grown to 80 to 90 centimeters tall, but this is already the limit, because they will use most of their nutrients for flowering and pod formation. .
And those areas used for pasture have all been planted with fairy bean roots.
Since the celestial bean root itself contains water and a lot of nutrients, the growth status of these soybeans is almost the same as that of sown celestial beans.
Because time was too short and there was no time to prepare bees and recruit beekeeping technicians, we did not wait for the soybeans in the pastoral area to mature and harvested all the first batch of feed soybeans that were in the early stages of pod formation. .
It is now the third day of harvesting soybeans for feed. On average, about 2,500 acres are harvested every day.
"Zhiben, how many kilograms of soybean grass should be used for feeding?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhiben quickly replied: "Based on the harvest situation in the past three days, the average yield per mu is about 2,300 kilograms in the state of fresh grass. , because the more than one hundred kilograms of small pods are also included.”
< br>“What about the crude protein content?”
“Due to the inclusion of small bean pods, the crude protein content reaches about 27.6%.”
Jiang Miao turned to look at Wu Song: “Da Song , how do cattle and sheep eat soybean vines? ”
Wu Song quickly replied: "The palatability of fresh soybean grass is very good, but it needs to be combined with other hay, because the protein content of fresh soybean grass is too high, which will increase the burden on the kidneys of cattle and sheep."
"You guys When do you plan to sow alfalfa, Leymus chinensis, and brome? "
"We have started to prepare for sowing, maybe in the next few days, we plan to use drones to sow." Liu Zhiben said about the situation.
Because the root system of Sendou soybean has fixed the surface sandy soil, the water storage capacity of the surface sandy soil has been increased several times.
Therefore, after aerial sowing of alfalfa, Leymus chinensis, and white brome, watering is not required. Of course, if there is water, it will be better. Without water, you can only rely on the sky for food. If you cannot wait for natural rainfall, Then we can only hold back a little and wait more than ten days for the fairy beans to sprout again.
After the soybeans germinate, they will form a large shady area near the roots. At the same time, they collect dew in the air at night. They cannot absorb 100% of the dew on the back of the leaves, and a small part will drip into the soil below. .
This gives other forage grasses the opportunity to grow under the shelter of the fairy beans with a little dew and sunlight.
However, because it cannot compete with the soybean, other pastures will not grow very well. It will definitely be shorter than the soybean. Each time it is harvested, it may be 10 to 20 centimeters shorter than the soybean.
Sowing other pastures in pasture areas is only to enrich the pasture species and avoid livestock malnutrition or disease. It does not require that the yield of these pastures can exceed that of fairy beans and soybeans.
After all, other pastures are dependent on others and can maintain growth because the soybeans can only grow to 90 to 100 centimeters.
If cinnabar soybeans can grow several meters high, then the area under the cinnabar soybean vines does not have much sunlight for other plants.
The good thing is that soybeans cannot grow too high. Even if they are not harvested, they will only grow to a maximum height of about 1 meter, then bloom and form pods. After the soybeans mature, Under natural apoptosis, the main root system will also die and rot, but its root mass will remain and will sprout again quickly when the temperature is suitable.
This growth height leaves a certain amount of space for other forage grasses to grow.
"Do we rely on our own livestock to consume all that forage?"
Wu Song nodded helplessly: "Currently we can only consume it ourselves. Our base currently has a total of 5,000 oxen and 8,000 oxen. The combined number of hybrid Simmental cattle and 30,000 small-tailed Han sheep consumes about 250 tons of fresh soybean vines every day.”
Taminchagan Farm can harvest about 5,750 tons of fresh soybean vines every day, not even a fraction of which is consumed.
Wu Song continued: "For the remaining fresh soybean vines, we plan to process them in three directions. Some of them will be exposed to sunlight and made into hay; on the other hand, we will introduce high carbonate raw materials such as cornmeal and add Lactobacilli are inoculated into the feed and fermented into silage; finally Then sell a batch of fresh materials at a low price to surrounding farmers.”
There is no way, even if the 150,000 acres of pasture in Taminchagan Farm can only be harvested until the end of October, that is only three months. , although in the simple soybean field, the soybean straw will not be recycled, but will be directly crushed and returned to the field.
But 5,750 tons are harvested every day, which is about 510,000 tons in 90 days. Taking into account the winter and the lean period in spring, five months of roughage need to be prepared. At present, the cattle and sheep in the base can only consume 40,000 tons. about.
The remaining 470,000 tons of fresh soybean vines must be processed as soon as possible.
Of course, Wu Song has already planned to accelerate the expansion of cattle and sheep breeding. It is estimated that under extreme expansion, the breeding scale will be increased by another 10 times.
However, Wu Song and others are not so crazy, because the scale of breeding cannot be increased casually. It is not bad now in summer, and the cattle and sheep can be allowed to spend the night in the open air. If it is winter, they can be left in the open air. If you leave it overnight, you can collect the frozen meat the next day.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare breeding farms, especially those that can survive the winter, as well as various supporting facilities, management personnel, technical personnel, etc.
Based on Wu Song’s current progress of farm construction, by early November, it will probably be possible to build a farm sufficient to sustain 30,000 cattle and 100,000 sheep, and recruit enough breeding technicians.
Due to the crazy expansion of the breeding scale of the Monan Branch, the price of cattle and sheep around Zhelim City has caused fluctuations.
In order to ensure sufficient funds for operation, the Monan branch has prepared to make money by selling fodder and then use the money to purchase lambs and calves.
Of the 30,000 small-tailed Han sheep currently being raised, 13,000 are fattening sheep, which will reach the 120-day slaughter standard in September and can be sold.
“By the way, Dasong, has the designated slaughtering qualification certificate we applied for come down?”
Wu Song smiled and nodded: “It has come down, Zhelimu City will be here in half a month. We were previously approved for designated slaughter.”
The reason why we got the designated slaughter so smoothly. He is qualified to be slaughtered because of the role of United Mining Shares. You must know that the state-owned assets management company of Jiayuan County, Jelim City, occupies 10% of the shares of United Mining. After seeing the already green Taminchagan Desert, , even if they are slow to react, they should know the value of United Mining shares.
Therefore, the entire approval process for the designated slaughtering qualification applied by Hailufeng Company was completed in less than two months.
Jiang Miao thought again last night that in the work briefing sent by the headquarters, it was mentioned that the growth in the number of registered users of the franchise store APP has become increasingly weak. After nearly two months of operation, the current franchise store APP has become increasingly weak. The store APP has a total of about 27 million registered users.
He thought for a while and then asked: "When is the slaughter date of the first batch of small-tailed Han sheep?"
"Slaughter date?" Although Wu Song didn't know what the boss was thinking, but He still answered truthfully: "Probably around September 5th. The slaughtering can begin."
As soon as Jiang Miao heard the date, he ordered: "In other words, before the Mid-Autumn Festival? Very good, prepare 500 legs of lamb every day directly for the Mid-Autumn Festival lottery. , smoked for 20 consecutive days.”
"Uh... 500 messages per day? Directly draw prizes to customers?" Wu Song was startled.
"Send it directly!" Jiang Miao didn't care.
A leg of lamb weighs five or six kilograms, and the local wholesale price in Monan is just over one hundred and forty yuan.
Ten thousand legs of lamb are just over 1.4 million.
In order to open up sales, the e-commerce division has been offering gifts every two days these days, forcing other e-commerce platforms to engage in some activities to offset their losses.
However, other e-commerce platforms are still as abstract as ever, with all kinds of clever tricks coming out frequently.
For example, first increase the price and then issue various discount coupons; or conduct lottery activities, but the prize winning rate is shockingly low;
It is precisely because of the chaos of competitors that the number of downloads of the Hailufeng franchise store APP has steadily increased.
After almost two months of rapid growth, it has dropped to tens of thousands of new users every day.
However, Jiang Miao had already planned to go back and asked Zhang Xinyi to start preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival activities.
Moreover, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, all 50 physical stores in the Pearl River Delta will be opened. By then, some of the mutton can be transported to physical stores for sale, and some can be sold online.
Last night, Jiang Miao specially asked Wu Song to pick out a few fat sheep and kill them, and then make them into various dishes.
There are types of barbecue such as roasted whole lamb, roasted lamb skewers, and roasted lamb chops. There are also dishes such as braised mutton and curry mutton.
There is also mutton stew which is more popular in Lingnan area.
Jiang Miao tasted them all. The specially fed small-tailed Han sheep, coupled with a relatively short growth cycle, not only have little odor, but also have a milky aroma. The meat is tender and juicy, somewhat similar to the flavor of Tan sheep.
In fact, the area where Tan sheep grow up has many saline-alkali grasslands. After Tan sheep eat grass and water containing a certain amount of saline-alkali, it can inhibit the synthesis of smelly substances in the body.
This secret is well known to everyone in the sheep farming industry in northern China. Many farmers will imitate the breeding methods of Tan sheep, which can also achieve less odor, milky aroma, and fresh and tender meat.
This breeding technology requires experienced hands to ensure the quality of mutton.
But the best place to produce Tan sheep is undoubtedly the Yanchi area. It is not only a national geographical indication agricultural product, but also a state banquet-level ingredient.
However, after Jiang Miao's guidance and special feeding based on the genetic characteristics of small-tailed Han sheep, the flavor of these small-tailed Han sheep has become almost the same as that of Yanchitan sheep.
However, Jiang Miao does not have high expectations for the sales of mutton in the Lingnan area. The main reason is that the locals in the Lingnan area do not like chilled mutton. They like freshly killed local mutton and are more accepting of local mutton. Fresh lamb with mutton flavor.
It may take some time to cultivate a customer base that likes low-flavor mutton.
Fortunately, there are not a few northerners in the Pearl River Delta region, so part of the chilled mutton can be sold to these customers.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
Although the Pearl River Delta region is not as famous as the fourth northeastern province, there are not many northerners in it.
Anyway, there are more than 10,000 sheep, and the bone content is only more than 700 tons. In addition, there are 10,000 lamb legs to be drawn, so there is not much left.
As for the fattening sheep after September, because the specialty stores in the Yangtze River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region will also open one after another, these high-quality small-tailed Han sheep will be able to enter the Beijing-Tianjin area of the sheep-eating area. Tang area.
People in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region prefer small-tailed Han sheep with low odor. Hailufeng Company’s high-quality small-tailed Han sheep will definitely attract a large number of customers. After all, who doesn’t like cheap and good-quality things? .
After Jiang Miao explained some things to Liu Zhiben and Wu Song, he and Lu Weibin went south back to Lingnan.
As for the things that should be explained to United Mining, he already explained to Lin Yonghua and Lu Mingyuan at noon yesterday.
The train heads south.
Just as Jiang Miao left Monan.
Previously, the soybean research team of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Zhelim City, the soybean research team of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in several northeastern provinces, and the Beidahuang Group formed an inspection team of hundreds of people to come Arrive at Taminchagan base.
The main reason why Jiang Miao was not informed in advance is that this inspection group was not organized by the Zhelimu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but by Academician Li Peiwu of the Beidahuang Group and the Oil Resources Institute of the Seris Academy of Agricultural Sciences. .
By the time they contacted the Zhelimu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jiang-Miao's high-speed train had already arrived at Jinling, and the two sides just passed each other.
However, Academician Li Peiwu and others, led by Dr. Zhang Zhiyong from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Zhelim City, came to the Taminchagan base.
The sandy roadside at the north gate of the base.
Even with the scorching sun above their heads, Academician Li Peiwu and others still did not stop. He squatted down and looked at the soybean vines in front of him, which were already full of pods.
He carefully counted the number of pods on one of the soybean plants and found a total of 26 pods. He also looked at the number of pods on several other soybean plants and found that they were generally between 24 and 28 pods. Instantly, based on the number of pods, the soybean yield per mu can be determined, which is about 315 kilograms.
"Manager Liu, how do you manage these soybeans?"
Zhang Zhiyong on the side began to explain without waiting for Liu Zhiben's answer: "Academician Li, I can answer this question because our research team has had discussions with Mr. Jiang before. After communicating, I sent a team of people to follow up here, so we have relevant records about the planting situation of these soybeans."
After finishing speaking, he took out another copy from his briefcase. Print the document and hand it to Academician Li said: "This is the planting situation of these soybeans in the past two months."
Academician Li quickly took the document and browsed it carefully. After a while, he looked at Zhang Zhiyong in shock. : "Zhiyong, are you sure there is no recording error?"
Zhang Zhiyong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, I promise, after all, this is not our team's project. Even if it is fake, it will not do me any good. ! ”
Academician Li Peiwu reacted immediately after hearing this explanation.
With not many interests involved, Zhang Zhiyong’s team really had no motive to make fraud for Hailufeng Company. Of course, this did not dispel Academician Li’s suspicion. The main reason was that the estimated yield per mu of soybeans in front of them was too high. , but its management is very rough.
Since planting, there has been no watering, only pesticides and foliar fertilizers have been applied once.
Even if the rainfall in Jelim City has reached nearly 180 millimeters in the past two months, it cannot be managed in such a rough manner.
Academician Li, who did not believe in evil, once again went deeper into the soybean fields and asked several researchers to sample and investigate the number of pods per plant in these soybean fields.
The result is still 24 to 26 pods per plant.
“They all have similar pod yields. Is this variety not a genetically modified variety? How is this done?” Academician Li was a little skeptical.
At this moment, a pickup truck drove past the sandy road and suddenly stopped.
In the pickup truck, a middle-aged man got out with Wu Song.
The middle-aged man shouted to the Beidahuang Group executives in the crowd: "Manager Liang, your Beidahuang Group is also here to purchase fodder?"
When Manager Liang heard this voice, he immediately turned his head and found that it was Wang Fa, the purchasing manager of Tianxiang Dairy Industry in Hebei Province. He smiled and replied: "Manager Wang misunderstood. I came here to inspect the desert farm of Hailufeng Company."
As he spoke, Manager Liang suddenly came back to his senses: “Manager Wang is here to make purchases. "Forage?"
"Huh?" Wang Fa was a little embarrassed, but he still answered truthfully: "Yes! We plan to order 5,000 tons of hay and 5,000 tons of silage. After all, our own pasture capacity is not enough."
The reason why Wang Fa came to Monan to purchase forage.
The main reason is that there is a big problem with alfalfa production in America this year. Its core production area, the Imperial Valley of California, has suffered a severe drought this year and has reduced production by nearly 15%. It is estimated that only 17.5 million tons of production capacity will be left this year. left and right;
In America's other major producing area, Idaho, a train transporting hazardous chemicals exploded near an alfalfa producing area, causing a large amount of toxic and harmful substances to scatter on hundreds of thousands of acres of nearby alfalfa planting land, causing serious damage. of pollution.
As a precaution, the import of alfalfa hay and silage produced by America has been suspended recently.
This has caused the current international price of high-quality alfalfa hay to soar. The current CIF price of high-quality alfalfa hay has reached 3,100 yuan.
Tianxiang Dairy needs to import a lot of alfalfa hay every year, plus silage corn and alfalfa purchased from Monan and Northeast China, to maintain a stable supply in winter.
Importing pasture originally made their costs much higher. Now the price of imported alfalfa hay has soared, further raising production costs. Tianxiang Dairy has to seek domestic supplies of pasture.
No, they discovered in June that the Gannan branch of Hailufeng Company was selling large quantities of high-quality alfalfa hay and silage.
Having just ordered a large amount of alfalfa hay and silage from the Gannan branch, Wang Fa received news that Hailufeng Company's Monan branch is also preparing to sell soybean vines for feeding. , and the production capacity is very large.
He flew over to Zhelim City from Gannan in a hurry again.
Manager Liang was a little surprised: "Mr. Wang, did you purchase so much?"
"Be prepared, this year's imported forage is too expensive." Wang Fa would not tell the other party that he spent 2,300 yuan At the price per ton, he purchased 10,000 tons of fodder. He quickly made an excuse to leave: "Manager Liang, I'm sorry, I need to go back to the headquarters to arrange the transportation of the fodder."
"Huh? Hailufeng Company doesn't cover transportation?" Manager Liang was even more surprised.
"We need it urgently." Wang Fa said nonsense without changing his expression. The reason why he chose to pick up the goods himself was because Hailufeng Company did not have enough transportation fleets in the north. If it were handed over to other logistics companies Contracting, the price is much higher, it is better to send the transport fleet yourself.
Anyway, the parent company of Tianxiang Dairy is New Hope Group. As a major feed manufacturer, they have their own logistics and transportation fleet in the country.
