Chapter 1400

On the tenth day, Shao Dejin brought several senior executives of the Jiangcheng Meat Processing Group to Matou Town, Changshan County. Their trip was, of course, to inspect the investment environment here and decide whether to invest in building a slaughtering base here.

Su Xinghui led Ma Sheng and other town leaders to welcome Shao Dejin and his party. After Shao Dejin got off the car, Su Xinghui greeted him, extended his right hand to Shao Dejin, and said, "Chairman Shao, hello, welcome, welcome!"

Shao Dejin smiled and shook Su Xinghui's hand, "Hello, Secretary Su!"

Su Xinghui said, "Please, Chairman Shao and several guests, let's go into our town government and sit for a while."

Shao Dejin said, "Let's not sit. Let's go directly to your cooperative to have a look."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Chairman Shao's work style is really vigorous and resolute. Okay, then we will take you to the scene to have a look."

Shao Dejin let Su Xinghui get into his car, and Ma Sheng and the others got into the only jeep of the town government, leading the way in front, and drove towards Mayang Village.

The cooperative in Mayang Village was the first one established in Matou Town. Their cattle sheds and sheep sheds were also basically built. Building such houses in the countryside doesn't need to be too exquisite, and with sufficient labor, they were built very quickly. Therefore, the cooperative in Mayang Village was also taking shape, and Su Xinghui naturally wanted to take Shao Dejin and the others to see it first.

On the way, Shao Dejin said, "Secretary Su, the road conditions in your Changshan County are indeed very poor."

Su Xinghui said, "Chairman Shao, I don't deny this, but our Changshan County is building the Changyu Highway, which is expected to be fully opened to traffic in the second half of the year. I can take you to the scene to have a look later."

Shao Dejin nodded, "Okay."

Mayang Village arrived soon. Su Xinghui took Shao Dejin and his party directly to the cooperative. Shao Dejin saw the cattle sheds and sheep sheds under construction and asked, "Are these your cattle sheds and sheep sheds? When are they expected to be finished?"

He Gaoling said, "It is expected that they will be finished in less than a month."

Shao Dejin said, "How many households are in your cooperative now? How many cattle and sheep can you raise?"

He Gaoling said, "Currently, there are more than 100 households, and it is expected that the annual slaughtering volume of cattle and sheep will reach more than 2,000 in two years."

Shao Dejin said, "Based on the slaughtering volume you expect to reach in the future, just relying on your farm, it shouldn't be able to accommodate so many cattle and sheep, right?"

He Gaoling said, "This farm mainly cultivates breeding cattle and breeding sheep. In the future, it can also sell breeding cattle and breeding sheep to the outside world. As for large-scale beef cattle and meat sheep, they are mainly raised by each household, and then sold uniformly when it comes to sales."

Shao Dejin also looked at the Matou mountain sheep produced here. In fact, he had also heard of the name of this sheep, but it was the first time he had close contact with it. He asked Di Anbang, who was providing technical guidance to the farmers, about some characteristics of this Matou mountain sheep.

Di Anbang introduced some characteristics of the Matou mountain sheep to Shao Dejin very fluently. Shao Dejin nodded repeatedly after hearing it. This Matou mountain sheep is indeed a good breed of mountain sheep, and Shao Dejin was already very familiar with the Jiangnong No. 1 beef cattle, so he didn't need Di Anbang to introduce it.

Shao Dejin asked Di Anbang, "Are you a student at Jiangcheng Agricultural University?"

Di Anbang nodded, "Yes, I am currently a second-year graduate student in zoology."

Shao Dejin said, "Then who is your teacher?"

Di Anbang said, "My teacher is Professor Rao Songnian."

"Professor Rao Songnian." Shao Dejin said, "That's an acquaintance of mine. I deal with him often. Where is he now?"

Di Anbang said, "He is also in Matou Town. He is currently providing technical guidance at another cooperative. You should be able to see him later."

Shao Dejin said to Su Xinghui, "Secretary Su, no wonder you are full of confidence. It turns out you have invited so many experts to provide technical guidance for you. Professor Rao is considered a top expert in animal husbandry in the country."

Su Xinghui said, "So Professor Rao and Chairman Shao are also friends. He has indeed given us a lot of help. With him here to guide us, you should be even more confident in us, right?"

Shao Dejin laughed and said, "How confident I am still depends on seeing is believing."

Su Xinghui nodded, "That's true, then let's continue to look down."

Shao Dejin and his party looked at the Matou mountain sheep raised by each household. He could see that there was a tradition of raising Matou mountain sheep here, and he was still very optimistic about the potential for raising Matou mountain sheep here.

When Shao Dejin saw that vast pasture, he was shocked. He asked, "Are these all the pastures you just planted?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes, these are good-breed pastures recommended to us by experts. These pastures are rich in nutrition and have good palatability. Cattle and sheep love to eat them. After eating them, they gain weight quickly, and the meat quality of the livestock is also good."

Shao Dejin looked at this large, continuous pasture and asked with a solemn expression, "Is this pasture all newly opened up by you?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, this was opened up by tens of thousands of common people in Matou Town in the past month or so. This place was originally a barren mountain. The hillsides were covered with shrubs and weeds. The common people mainly used manual labor, supplemented by a small amount of machinery, to hoe away the shrubs and weeds and plant good-breed pastures. Currently, tens of thousands of acres of pasture have been opened up in the whole Matou Town, and it is still being opened up."
