Chapter 640: Chapter 298: People from the Research Institute of Yellow Cattle_1
By the time Miss Xu Xiaoyan was awakened by Yan Fei, she saw that the window had already been opened, and outside, the sky was beginning to brighten.
"Have we arrived?"
"We have, you can go wash your face, I’ll pack things up!"
The girl, still half-asleep, went out, and when she came back, she was full of energy. She put on her small backpack, found her train ticket, and was about to leave, when suddenly she heard a beeping sound.
"What sound is that?" The young lady asked a question, then almost immediately realized. "Who’s paging you this early?"
Yan Fei took out his pager and opened it: "It’s from Uncle Baoguo. He wants me to hurry home this morning."
"What happened?" Xu Xiaoyan asked persistently.
"He didn’t say, just that I must return as soon as possible, let’s go!" Yan Fei said as he stuffed the pager into his bag and picked up his luggage. "We’ll know when we get home!"
Out of the station, into the station, boarding the train, then changing trains...
The final hundred-mile journey was more hassle than traveling by train.
In fact, there was a bus from the city to Sancha River Township, but it only ran once a day. It wasn’t the limited service that was the problem, but rather, this single trip was slower than a bullock cart. It didn’t take the main roads, but instead crossed directly through small roads. The journey was shorter, but there were countless villages along the way. It basically stopped every few steps, making the speed slower than changing trains.
When they finally arrived at the cattle farm, just after alighting from the bus and even before entering the farm, they saw Heizi commanding a few construction workers, helping to clean up the road at the entrance of the farm.
"Brother Fei, Brother Fei, hurry up..." Seeing the bus stop, Heizi looked up at the bus door. As soon as he saw Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan getting off the bus, he immediately hailed them.
"What’s the rush? Why are you making people clean the road while building a house? Don’t tell me another leader is coming to inspect?" Yan Fei was a bit puzzled.
"Not...well, sort of..." Heizi also couldn’t explain clearly. "Anyway, I don’t quite understand either. I heard something about inspection of breeding, anyway, they’re from the city. You better hurry in. The township leaders are already here!"
It was only when Yan Fei took a few steps inside that he noticed that the cattle farm had already been cleaned up.
"Xiao Fei, come quickly..." Lin Baoguo in the courtyard immediately called out to him when he saw him. "Thank goodness you got back in time. The county called first thing in the morning. They said people from the City Yellow Cattle Research Institute are coming to inspect here. They want to inspect the conditions for some cold-mating technology. Secretary Jiao mentioned it to you, so you should be aware. I don’t understand what it’s all about. They will arrive in a moment, is there anything you need to brief me on?"
Yan Fei remembered, the last time Secretary Jiao mentioned it, it was about the cold-mating technology for cattle. If his farm’s breeding bull could use the cold-mating technology, it could mate with more cows.
However, after Secretary Jiao left, there was no feedback. He thought the matter was not going to work out! But now they were suddenly attacked.
"Are they almost here?" Yan Fei said, not caring to put his things in his room, and immediately started to shout. "Heizi, Heizi, come here, I have something to tell you..."
"Here, take your things, you’d better go and deal with your matter!" Xu Xiaoyan took his luggage from him and urged him.
When Heizi ran over, Yan Fei pulled him aside and murmured: "The people coming from the city are here to see our breeding bulls. Our bulls here have big heads, and it’s not just one or two. If they get curious and ask how we feed them, remember not to disclose our secret feed formula."
"Don’t worry Brother Fei, I know about this..."
"I know you know, but I’m afraid they don’t! Just in case they forget! You rush to inform everyone, does your wife know about this? If she doesn’t, that’s good, then just inform those who know about it. Stress to them not to even mention it, just say it’s normally fed, go quick!"
Heizi nodded, was about to leave, but Yan Fei called him back: "Apart from this secret feed, the rest doesn’t matter, the silage feeds are all directly visible, it doesn’t matter whether we say it or not. Oh yes, why not just say that we breed earthworms, and feed some earthworm powder every once in a while..."
"Okay, is that all?"
"Yes, go quick!"
Seeing Heizi rush off to inform everyone, Yan Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although these people usually know how to keep secrets, they are not like him, guarding a secret from a young age and being ordered not to disclose it under threat of beating. These people, once confronted with questions from the city, might want to show off, mentioning that they managed to make a secret feed, then it would be troublesome.
This stuff was not like brewing medicinal wine, though the bone dust in it was processed, if examined, it would definitely cause trouble.
The room was already tidy. Although they hadn’t brought in a lot of furniture this time like before, they had brought tea sets. Even Mayor Chen was sitting there, showing how seriously he took this matter — perhaps because it was not the busy farming season, and there wasn’t much going on in the small township!
"Yan Fei! Now that you’re a big boss, why haven’t you installed a phone here?" As Yan Fei came back after speaking, Mayor Chen asked with a smile.
"I was supposed to get it installed last time, but I forgot in the rush. The place is far from town, it would be tricky to pull wires. Fortunately, somebody gave me a pager, so I am not in a hurry now," Yan Fei explained with a smile. "I’ll apply for it this afternoon when I’m not busy, I must remember this time."
"You don’t have to bother yourself, as long as you want to install it" Mayor Chen said cheerfully. "I have brought someone to you, you just need to fill out a form and pay, they will install it for you in a few days!"
A young man drew near, grinning ear to ear and greeting Yan Fei: "Boss Yan, I’m here for doorstep service."
No wonder Yan Fei found the uniform this young man wore kind of familiar! He works at the post office after all.
As Miss Yan was at hand, Yan Fei simply assigned her this task, as it only required filling out a form and paying, it was quite easy.
"You must remember to thank Secretary Jiao this time. People initially heard that you only have a dozen breeding bulls here and were unwilling to come. It was Secretary Jiao who pleaded for you. By the way, you might have to reimburse the travel expenses, which could amount to hundreds. The village will cover this for you, and you don’t have to host lunch. We can all go to town to eat later..."
"Thank you, Mayor Chen..."
Before Yan Fei could finish expressing his gratitude, someone shouted, "Hurry up, the car is coming!"
"Let’s go! Let’s not stand on ceremony, just make sure our guests are well accommodated. Let’s go..." After saying this, Mayor Chen led the way outward.
There arrived two sedans. Initially, a man in his thirties got out of one car. He ran to the back of the car, opened the door, and greeted a thin, middle-aged man in a suit who came out of it.
Including the drivers, there were only eight of them, old and young included. Judging from the others’ attitudes, this middle-aged man who could not even open the car door should be an important figure — a ’disabled person’ was how Yan Fei defined him in his mind. He didn’t know why but he felt uncomfortable as soon as he saw this man’s pomp.
When both sides met and shook hands, the middle-aged man who got out of the car first introduced to Mayor Chen: "This is Mr. Chaizaki, a beef expert from Japan. Despite his busy schedule, he took out time to come here. Let’s welcome him!"
Having said that, he was the first to clap...
The scene became a bit awkward all of a sudden as no one had ever seen a requirement for applause upon introductions.
At this point, someone suddenly started clapping on Yan Fei’s side and a voice softly prompted to everyone: "Applaud quickly..."
A young man who was accompanying Mayor Chen clapped swiftly. He moved a step forward while applauding and introduced, "This is our Mayor Chen. As soon as he heard about your visit to our enterprises, he immediately led us here to welcome you early in the morning. Welcome, welcome..."
The applause was fervent!
But Yan Fei, who had acute hearing, caught a couple of discordant voices in the applause. First came Heizi’s questioning, "Old Gao, how did you know we had to applaud?"
Then came the contemptuous voice of Gao Rui, who had once been a murderer, "You know nothing. When I was in the high-security prison, if someone was granted a sentence reduction, a general meeting would be held for announcement. The warden himself would announce it on stage. As soon as he introduced who was reduced for good behavior, everyone below would applaud!"
He gloated at the end: "Before I was shifted to the general prison, people applauded for me..."
People like Heizi basically loitered around the detention center’s gate in the past. Old Ou had been directly sent inside. If they hadn’t been recruited by Yan Fei, they could be arrested anytime. The story impressed them greatly and thus the applause became even more fervent!
While Yan Fei was clapping his hands, he couldn’t help but grumble internally. He had known that the City Yellow Cattle Research Institute was a joint venture with foreigners, but he was surprised that the Japanese came directly this time — they attached great importance to it.
He didn’t belittle himself, but his ranch only had a few dozen cattles. Even if he counted all the big and small ones, it was less than a hundred. Should it make such a big deal?
Did they bring in more people to charge him excess travel fees? Though Mayor Chen had promised to cover for him, that was also the village’s money.
Yan Fei had never been fond of foreigners, seeing them this way only reinforced his distaste.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Mayor Chen laughingly introduce after the welcoming speech, "This is Boss Yan of the ranch. Despite his young age, he is very skilled in raising cattle. He is the owner of this ranch!"
Yan Fei immediately pushed aside his unpleasantness and advanced with a smile, "Welcome, welcome. We appreciate the leaders coming for the inspection..."
He was still grumbling inside: I welcome the leaders, but foreigners are not qualified to be my leaders, so foreigners are excluded!
