Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 120, The Kingdom of Sichuan and Shu (asking for monthly tickets)

September 5, 1958, at the railway station in Chengdu, the largest city in Sichuan.

Zhao Mancang carried a package on his shoulder and held another package in one hand as he strolled out of the train station exit.

Chen Dehong, Zhang Bu, Liu Zhihu and others next to him waved goodbye to Zhao Mancang with smiles on their faces.

Zeng Xueyao and the others did not show up because they were not getting off here.

After taking a quick glance at the exit, Zhao Mancang quickly saw his comrade Han Tianqi who came to pick him up. The latter was holding a sign that read "Welcome Comrade Zhao Mancang to Sichuan."

"Hello, comrade. I'm Zhao Mancang. This is my work ID. Comrade Shen Baoai invited me here."

Coming in front of Han Tianqi, Zhao Mancang introduced himself with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Han Tianqi smiled, but still took the former's work ID and took a quick look at it.

Since Zhao Mancang had mentioned Shen Baoai, Han Tianqi naturally would not suspect anyone else.

Communication was very difficult in that era, so it was naturally impossible for Han Tianqi and others to see Zhao Mancang's photo in advance.

Because of this, they can only judge through dialogue.

"Comrade Zhao, thank you for accepting our invitation and coming to our country of Sichuan to help us."

Han Tianqi shook hands with Zhao Mancang very excitedly, very hard, with an extremely sincere smile and an excited tone.

"You don't know, two more musk deer have died in our farm. All the musk deer we bought with our money are gone. We are heartbroken."

"We did invite university professors, but they're also very busy because school just started, so they don't have much time. Furthermore, musk deer farming is a groping endeavor, and we have no prior experience."

Zhao Mancang smiled when he heard this.

1958 was the first year of musk deer breeding in China, and of course there was no experience before that.

Even if it existed, it might not have been passed down in the form of a book.

Just like the large primeval forest in Northeast China, there are many ethnic minorities, and they may have raised musk deer.

The reason is very simple. Musk deer are as timid as mice, and hunting them requires luck.

Moreover, only adult male musk deer have musk in their bodies, so it does not mean that you can harvest musk just by hunting forest musk deer or red musk deer.

Therefore, some ethnic minorities in the Northeast may have raised musk deer.

But these experiences cannot be given to Han Tianqi and others.

As for professors and experts from universities like Sichuan University, their research on musk deer may not be very in-depth.

This is why it is difficult to get started.

"All eight musk deer died. It's really tragic."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"But there are solutions. Our steel mill has built a breeding farm in Jundu Mountain. The thirty-five musk deer we captured from the Northeast were still alive and kicking when I left the capital."

"Let's go to the breeding farm first. Musk deer breeding has very high requirements for hygienic sites and food hygiene."

Han Tianqi nodded quickly and led the way with a smile.

The two talked as they walked, and then came outside, where a jeep was parked on the road.

When he saw the car, Zhao Mancang was quite surprised. There was actually a car?
This is Sichuan, not the capital. How can an ordinary breeding farm have cars?
But soon, Han Tianqi explained to him clearly that this was specially borrowed from other units to support the occasion.

Zhao Mancang was surprised by the other party's generosity and frankness.

Of course, Zhao Mancang also admired the other party very much, and he dared to say this.

The local area and the capital are indeed very different.

After getting in the car, we arrived at a guesthouse in less than half an hour.

According to Han Tianqi, they needed to rest in Chengdu for one night to welcome Zhao Mancang, and then they would go to the Malkang breeding farm.

The reason is very simple. The distance from Chengdu to the Malkang breeding farm is 300 kilometers. The most important thing is that it is very difficult to walk on the mountain road.

In other words, it takes at least a day and a half to get from here to Malkang, so you naturally need to take a good rest.

After hearing this, Zhao Mancang was speechless for a moment.

He knew that it would take him at least seven or eight days to come here, and now it seems that he was too hasty.

The time spent on the road alone is four or five days for a one-way trip, and eight or nine days for a round trip.

Therefore, it takes almost two days and two nights to travel from Beijing to Chengdu by train. The journey is really difficult.

Now it takes another day and a half to travel from Chengdu to the Malkang breeding farm, plus the one night stayed in Chengdu. Wow, it really doesn’t count, the time just slipped away like that.

That night, Zhao Mancang checked into the guesthouse. After putting down his luggage, he was taken out by Han Tianqi to have an authentic Sichuan meal.

In fact, it is just an ordinary Sichuan restaurant. The two of us ordered three dishes: Dongpo pork elbow, Kung Pao chicken and ground tofu.

But I have to say, this Sichuan cuisine is really spicy, so spicy that it’s explosive, and so numbing that it’s extremely spicy!
Fortunately, Han Tianqi brought his own alcohol, two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao and one bottle of Wuliangye.

Cheap liquors like Baolian Daqu and Gudao Jianghu Liquor are definitely not suitable for entertaining Zhao Mancang. As for the more expensive Maotai liquor, Han Tianqi mentioned in the telegram sent back by Shen Baoai that Zhao Mancang often drinks it, so when he arrived in Sichuan, he would definitely drink some of the more famous local liquor.

Three bottles of wine, two people, a drunken night.

Zhao Mancang looked at Han Tianqi who was drunk by him, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

I was careless and got him drunk.

The next day came in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, Han Tianqi did not oversleep, otherwise Zhao Mancang would have to stay in Chengdu for a while longer.

The two changed cars and started riding horses along the mountain road.

After leaving Chengdu, the road is no longer a plain, but a mountain road.

Han Tianqi still felt dizzy when he was riding the horse.

I drank too much last night and forgot my alcohol tolerance. I got drunk all of a sudden and haven't recovered yet.

Zhao Mancang, on the other hand, looked energetic, his eyes drifting towards the distant scenery.

The scenery in Sichuan is still very beautiful. Although it is not as good as Jiuzhaigou, Daocheng and other places, it is already very good compared to other places.

Anyway, it is impossible to have such scenery in the capital, so Zhao Mancang was able to feast his eyes.

Riding a horse along the mountain road and chatting with a few people, I felt very relaxed and happy.

There were eighteen people in their cavalry, including Zhao Mancang and Han Tianqi, and another sixteen people.

The other sixteen people are workers who specialize in delivering daily necessities to the Malkang farm, as well as the guards.

This is a mountain road. There are some people in the mountains who specialize in robbery. There are also wild animals in the mountains, so it is not very peaceful.

Therefore, a guard team is needed to enter and exit together.

The Ma'erkang breeding farm is relatively good. It is relatively close to Chengdu, unlike those places close to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, or even some places close to the border, which are more chaotic.

After enjoying the scenery along the way, Zhao Mancang and his companions stopped to rest and have lunch, and then continued on their journey after lunch.

When the sun set, Zhao Mancang and his friends arrived at a village where they could rest.

The village is not big, with only about twenty households, but there are quite a few people.

Moreover, every household has a gun. Zhao Mancang heard this from Han Tianqi.

A few years ago, the banditry here was very rampant, and some were even so arrogant as to want to establish themselves as kings.

However, after the People's Liberation Army arrived, these bandits who occupied the mountains and acted like kings collapsed in an instant.

"Is that the cry of a wolf?"

Not long after moving into the village, Zhao Mancang and his companions had not yet had dinner when they heard the howling of wolves coming from the distant mountains.

Zhao Mancang raised two wolf-blue dogs at home in the capital. Although their barks were different from those of wolves, if you were not a real hunter, you would really not be able to tell the difference.

However, Zhao Mancang would not be so foolish as to think that the "barking dog" in the distant mountains and forests was someone else's dog.

After all, Han Tianqi and the others had already said that there was only one such village within a radius of four or five kilometers.

So, those 'barking dogs' nearby are nothing but wolves.

"Yes, Expert Zhao, we often hear wolves howling, so we don't walk at night."

Duan Xiaotao, a member of the guard team next to Han Tianqi, said with a smile:

"Last year, we had to travel at night due to an urgent matter, and we encountered more than a dozen big gray wolves on the way. They were really ferocious. Even after we injured five of them, they still chose not to give up."

"It wasn't until our team, Team Yuan, killed the leader that they finally ran away with their tails between their legs."

Zhao Mancang's eyes flickered, he smiled, and continued to ask curiously about some things in the past, such as hunting and suppressing bandits.

Anyway, I'm free now, so I might as well kill some time.

In fact, Zhao Mancang was quite helpless about people like Duan Xiaotao calling themselves experts. He explained it many times, but they just didn't listen.

After a day's journey, Zhao Mancang had already given up and let them shout whatever they wanted.

Anyway, he will never admit that he is an expert.

In later societies, "expert" was not a good word, but in this era, experts are respected high-level intellectuals.

But Zhao Mancang did not think that just because he was a college student in his previous life, he must be an intellectual just because he came here.

No matter what, being humble can help you know yourself better.

Upon hearing this, Duan Xiaotao immediately started talking a lot about hunting.

The mountain road from Chengdu to the Ma'erkang breeding farm is quite long, with many peaks and ridges, resulting in a large number of wild animals.

With more herbivores, carnivores will naturally be attracted, and this is a complete ecological chain.

Under the cover of night, Zhao Mancang and his companions sat in front of the campfire, eating roasted lamb, feeling quite relaxed and comfortable.

The sheep were goats hunted by hunters in the village and were "exchanged" by Han Tianqi to entertain the distinguished guest Zhao Mancang.

In Han Tianqi's opinion, Zhao Mancang is a capable person. He has traveled thousands of miles to Sichuan, so he naturally cannot treat him unfairly.

Therefore, Han Tianqi took special care of Zhao Mancang in all aspects.

There is another reason for such efforts, that is, Shen Baoai has instructed that if Zhao Mancang can be allowed to stay in the Ma'erkang breeding farm, Han Tianqi can be promoted to become the head of the breeding farm.

Now that he has Shen Baoai's guarantee, Han Tianqi will of course use all his skills.

This is also the reason why Zhao Mancang has always felt pretty good since he came to Sichuan.

Han Tianqi was really willing to part with a goat. He just said he wanted to "exchange" it.

Eating roasted lamb and drinking rice wine brewed by local villagers, this kind of life is really unique.

Zhao Mancang was very happy and thought that such a day was not bad.

Before coming, even though he was not very happy about this trip, he knew he had no choice.

I didn’t expect to see so many beautiful scenery and spend such a happy time.

There are so many wild animals in the mountains, so eating meat is not particularly difficult for the nearby mountain people.

As for wine, thanks to the Malkang breeding farm and other places, the village located beside the mountain road can enjoy more convenience.

That night, Zhao Mancang and his friends fell asleep peacefully while listening to the howling of wild beasts.

The next morning, before daybreak, everyone was already ready to go.

But just a few kilometers after Zhao Mancang and his companions walked out of the village and reached the mountain road, they were attacked.

More than a dozen wild boars rushed forward and passed straight through the middle of the team, as if they didn't notice that there were people on the mountain road. They were simply looking for death.

The herd of wild boars swooped down from a small slope on the side of the mountain towards the mountain road, so they were moving very fast.

However, Han Tianqi, Captain Yuan, Duan Xiaotao, Zhao Mancang and others reacted quickly. They had already discovered the herd of wild boars when they appeared on a small hill about fifty or sixty meters away.

Although they didn't understand why the wild boars charged into the team, Zhao Mancang and others reacted quickly.

People like Duan Xiaotao set up their Type 56 rifles, quickly loaded the bullets, and fired without even aiming.

Because the wild boars are very fast, it is right to just shoot them directly.

But there is only one chance to shoot, and it will be too late for the second shot.

Shooting wild boars is not the primary goal, protecting yourself is the most important thing.

"Wocao!"

Behind Zhao Mancang, Fan Jingzhong, a member of the guard team who originally wanted to protect Zhao Mancang, was now stunned to see the former wave his hand and throw out two daggers, which instantly hit the two wild boars that were rushing towards him.

The dagger penetrated directly into the wild boar's neck, and blood spurted out.

The fallen wild boar slid on the ground for five or six meters before it stopped, and then died after twitching a few times.

The two wild boars were killed so easily and efficiently.

So Zhao Mancang did not dismount or leave the mountain road.

Awesome!
The commotion in the team soon calmed down.

Only five wild boars were left alive by the charge of the wild boar herd; the others ran away and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests.

"Expert Zhao, Expert Zhao, are you okay?"

Han Tianqi, who was in front, hurriedly turned back to look for someone. He looked a little dusty and embarrassed, obviously because he did not control his horse well when he was hit by the wild boars.

"I'm fine. Are you all okay? Is anyone injured? If so, tell me immediately and I'll treat you."

Zhao Mancang's voice also rang out. Because it was still past four in the morning, the sky was still dim and it was not yet dawn, so it was difficult to see clearly.

Soon, everyone dismounted and checked, and found that except for one of the guards whose horse was frightened and fell off, causing minor injuries, everyone else was fine.

"Expert Zhao, you're incredible! This flying knife is incredibly powerful! It took down two wild boars in just two swipes. Amazing!"

Fan Jingzhong squatted in front of the two wild boars, checked them with a kerosene lamp, and immediately exclaimed to Zhao Mancang in amazement.

He is right behind Zhao Mancang and is the one protecting Zhao Mancang.

It now seems that Zhao Mancang does not need any protection at all, as his own strength is indeed impressive enough.

Han Tianqi, Captain Yuan, Duan Xiaotao and others couldn't help but take a breath when they heard Fan Jingzhong's words, and looked at Zhao Mancang with admiration.

Zhao Mancang is obviously an expert in musk deer breeding and also a doctor, but no one expected his knife throwing skills to be so amazing.

He is simply an all-round soldier!

You know, it's early morning and the visibility is not very good. We are still on a mountain path and there is not much moonlight above our heads.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Mancang was still able to kill two wild boars from a distance of thirty or forty meters using his flying knife skills. It was simply amazing.

If it was a shooting, wouldn't that mean Zhao Mancang could hit the target every time?
Everyone looked at Zhao Mancang with admiration and exclamations.

"Let's pack it up quickly, we still have to hurry on." Zhao Mancang interrupted everyone's 'casting' and decided to pack up the five wild boars first and take them on the road.

Five wild boars, that's all meat.

Duan Xiaotao and his team quickly bled the five wild boars with their knives, because the pork would be delicious only after bleeding, otherwise the taste would be much worse.

The cleaner the blood is drained, the better the meat will be.

After finishing the job, everyone divided the work and gathered the wild boars onto several of the horses and carried them forward.

Even though there were several hundred more kilograms of wild boars, the speed of everyone's progress did not slow down much.

Although it is not the dog days of summer now, the weather is relatively cool.

Especially as we got closer to the Ma'erkang Farm, the altitude increased and the climate became cooler. However, the wild boars had already been killed, so we had to return to the Ma'erkang Farm as soon as possible to remove the hair and separate the meat from the five wild boars. It would be best if we turned them into sausages with some extra chili peppers. It would be absolutely amazing. Along the way, everyone continued to talk about how Zhao Mancang had just killed two wild boars.

Especially Fan Jingzhong, who kept asking Zhao Mancang indirectly whether he knew any martial arts.
"I've heard that Taoist priests are masters of both Chinese medicine and martial arts, and they're also very good at maintaining their health. Expert Zhao, did you become a disciple of one of those Taoist priests who play around with the world? Otherwise, how did you learn such advanced medical skills and martial arts?"

Han Tianqi in front couldn't help but frowned, turned around and scolded:
"Comrade Fan Jingzhong, I think you're getting pissed, aren't you? How dare you be so disrespectful to Expert Zhao? Next time, you should stay on duty at the farm gate."

After hearing Han Tianqi's words, Fan Jingzhong immediately begged for mercy.

Seeing that the former was unmoved, Fan Jingzhong looked at Zhao Mancang and said:

"Expert Zhao, I really didn't mean to ask, I was just curious. I will definitely not do this again in the future. Expert Zhao, please, please help me talk to Director Han. I don't want to stand guard, it's too boring."

Fan Jingzhong is a somewhat shameless person who doesn't know how to speak properly, but he has good intentions.

Zhao Mancang didn't know the other person well, and they had only met for one day, so naturally they were not very familiar with each other, so he didn't say anything.

Because Han Tianqi had already yelled at Fan Jingzhong to shut up before him, and even drove the latter to the front of the team, letting him entertain himself.

The sky soon brightened and the team moved forward faster.

Pulling the rope, Zhao Mancang's horse also started to trot.

The other end of the rope is connected to the horse's mouth, because there is a bit in the horse's mouth, which is the horse's braking system.

With a bit, you only need to pull the reins tight when riding the horse, and the horse will not be able to lower its head to eat grass.

As long as the horse can't eat, it can only work all the time.

When braking, you need to tighten the reins. At this time, the bit will hurt the horse, and the horse can only stop when it feels pain.

So the horse bit is a very good thing. With it, humans can tame horses better.

Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Mancang and his team finally arrived at the Malkang breeding farm.

This farm is not very big, but there are already quite a few animals in it, such as musk deer, roe deer, etc.

With the arrival of Zhao Mancang and others, the farm became bustling.

Many people are looking forward to it, after all, everyone in the entire farm has been very depressed recently.

The first eight musk deer we purchased all died two days ago.

Later, they captured several live musk deer, red musk deer, etc., and purchased five or six musk deer from nearby mountain people.

But just last night, two more died, and now three are sick and in critical condition.

Faced with such a situation, the breeders in the farm were all very discouraged and felt unprecedented frustration.

Even the security department and other farm staff were very worried. Would this farm be closed down?

After all, so much money was wasted. Even though musk is a very precious medicinal herb, it is not worth it.

You can also collect musk by hunting male musk deer. After all, there is now a "ear-cleaning" type of musk collecting technology, and it is not necessary to kill the male musk deer.

Musk deer are solitary animals anyway, so you only need to catch male musk deer to hunt.

Why bother raising them?
The investment is so huge, it’s not cost-effective at all!
This is the idea of ​​ordinary breeders, but it is certainly not the case for people like Han Tianqi.

The Ma'erkang breeding farm must overcome all difficulties, must successfully breed musk deer, and provide a certain amount of musk to the country every year. This is a mandatory task that cannot be shirked.

At present, in addition to the breeding farms in Sichuan and Shu, there is also a musk deer breeding farm in the Central Plains of Western Qin, as well as the Jundushan musk deer breeding farm in the capital.

As of now, the Jundushan breeding farm is still doing the best. They have hunted 35 musk deer from the northeast, and none of them have been lost so far.

On the contrary, whether it is the Ma'erkang breeding farm or the Xiqin Zhongyuan Zhenping breeding farm, musk deer have died one after another, and there is no way to do a good job in this regard.

"Welcome, Expert Zhao, welcome to your arrival. We have been looking forward to seeing you for so long, and finally you are here."

Liu Dingren, the person in charge of the Ma'erkang breeding farm, had a big smile on his face and greeted Zhao Mancang warmly and politely.

"You've worked hard on this journey. We've prepared lunch. It might be simple and you won't like it, but please give it a try."

Liu Dingren was afraid that Zhao Mancang would run away, so he kept holding the latter's hand and was reluctant to let go.

It was Han Tianqi who noticed something was wrong with Zhao Mancang, so he quickly laughed it off and told everyone to go inside first, saying it was not a good idea to chat outside.

The group walked into the cafeteria, and to be honest, the environment inside was very ordinary.

This place is more than 2,600 meters above sea level, not a plain area, so Zhao Mancang is actually quite satisfied with having such an environment.

The most important thing is that the food on the table is not the plain meal that Liu Dingren mentioned, but very delicious and appetizing home-cooked delicacies.

"Director Liu, you're too polite. Why are you so extravagant? If the higher-ups knew about this, they would definitely scold me to death."

Zhao Mancang smiled and said that there were not many restrictions on food and drink at this time.

Especially in places where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the situation is even more different.

why?
The location of the Ma'erkang Farm is far away from plain areas like Chengdu. Although it is difficult to transport food such as cakes, wine, fruits, etc., there is definitely no shortage of mountain products.

Especially in August and September, there are abundant wild mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, morels, and mountain products such as beef, honey, and Fritillaria.

So most of the food that appears on the table is of this type.

For example, Zhao Mancang likes the wild mushroom stewed chicken very much. It is really delicious and goes well with rice.

As one of the only three musk deer farms in the country, the Ma'erkang farm has an investment scale that even exceeds that of the Jundushan farm.

Because the Malkang farm has support from above, it is not short of funds.

Therefore, there is no shortage of supplies.

Otherwise, they would not be able to afford the animal and plant experts and professors from Sichuan University, let alone invite Zhao Mancang to come here.

You have to know that Shen Baoai spent a lot of resources to get Zhao Mancang to the Maerkang breeding farm.

Liquor such as Wuliangye and Luzhou Laojiao have been placed on the table, but Liu Dingren said that he would just have two drinks at noon today and would not go home until he was drunk at night.

So today's lunch is more about filling the stomach, and then let Zhao Mancang feel the hospitality of the Malkang men in the evening.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Mancang was invited to his room to rest.

But Zhao Mancang didn't rest for long. He just slept for half an hour and then got up.

Liu Dingren, Han Tianqi and others were already waiting in the yard. Seeing their dejected expressions, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Director Liu, Comrade Han, what's wrong with you?"

He was pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. After all, the reason why Liu Dingren and the others were in a bad mood was definitely because of the disturbance at the farm.

Recently, the most common problem is that musk deer often get sick and then die.

The mortality rate of musk deer is very high when they fall ill, but Zhao Mancang never expected that the Ma'erkang breeding farm could achieve 100% mortality.

This data is so amazing that I can’t even complain about it.

"Expert Zhao, while you were sleeping, two more forest musk deer fell ill. The three previously sick musk deer are on the verge of death. We..."

Hearing Liu Dingren's dejected words, Zhao Mancang immediately said:

"Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can save him."

Hearing Zhao Mancang say this, Liu Dingren was immediately overjoyed. He stopped being shy and immediately led the way.

At lunch before, Liu Dingren felt that there was no difference between being an hour or two early or late.

But now it seems that it is better to ask Zhao Mancang to take a look as soon as possible. Maybe a miracle will really happen.

Soon, Zhao Mancang came into the room and saw several dying musk deer and red musk deer. The little guys were still very scared, but they had no energy left and naturally could not move.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Mancang immediately took out tools from his messenger bag and began to treat these little guys.

There were a total of six musk deer and forest musk deer, and they were all rescued by Zhao Mancang in less than half an hour.

"Put them back in their enclosure. Even if they're sick, try not to let them see other musk deer. Besides the keepers, try not to get too close to these little musk deer or let them see them."

While packing up the tools, Zhao Mancang said calmly to Liu Dingren and Han Tianqi:

"These little guys, the forest musk deer, are as timid as mice. The best way is to keep them alone in a closed room. Situations like today should never happen again."

"Let's go and see the musk deer's house. First, take a look around. Then I'll see how I can help you."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Liu Dingren and the others nodded in agreement.

Because they had no other choice. What else could they do except listen to Zhao Mancang?

Next, Zhao Mancang spent the entire afternoon visiting their musk deer base and pointed out their shortcomings.

There are many areas that need improvement, and it can be said that there are shortcomings almost everywhere.

Musk deer breeding is not a simple matter. Zhao Mancang purchased the relevant technology from the system and only then did he know more details.

Otherwise, the 35 musk deer at the Jundushan farm would have died long ago.

After some reorganization, the Malkang breeding farm suddenly looked brand new.

"In addition to these, Director Liu, you still need a veterinarian who knows how to treat musk deer. This is absolutely indispensable."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"The musk deer breeding farm established by our Beijing Steel Plant in Jundu Mountain is also training our own veterinarians. However, because I am the head of the musk deer project, we grade the breeders through large-scale screening."

"In other words, the higher the level, the more musk deer treatment techniques these keepers know, and the more sophisticated they are."

"Your superior, Comrade Shen Baoai, has already arranged for three comrades to study at our Jundushan Farm. However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Your Ma'erkang Farm also needs its own veterinarian."

"I'm only going to stay in Malkang for three days, which won't be long, so you still need to prepare."

"Of course, I also brought a brochure on musk deer breeding techniques, as well as some case books on musk deer treatment techniques. These are summaries of my previous experiences and case studies. They may not be completely correct, but at least they can serve as a reference."

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Liu Dingren and Han Tianqi were both stunned.

Wow, Zhao Mancang actually published a book?

Even though they are just pamphlets and case books, they are still very impressive.

Especially for musk deer breeding, it is simply a treasure book.

The two men didn't have time to be amazed and took it from Zhao Mancang's hands, looking very cautious, as if they were worshiping Buddha devoutly.

The book is a good one, there is no doubt about that.

The key point is that this is a handwritten version, which means that these are the words recorded by Zhao Mancang himself, and every word is the result of his hard work.

This made Liu Dingren and the others even more surprised, and they also felt that the booklet in their hands was extremely heavy.

No one can succeed easily. The fact that Zhao Mancang was able to write so many words shows how dedicated he was.

It's a pity that Zhao Mancang didn't get into university, otherwise...
But Liu Dingren and others were glad that Zhao Mancang did not get into university, otherwise, Zhao Mancang might not have continued to study musk deer breeding technology.

For this evening meal, Liu Dingren and his team prepared an even more sumptuous meal, with five main dishes.

In fact, it is almost a pig-killing dish.

Because the five wild boars that Zhao Mancang and his team hunted early this morning have already been slaughtered.

The entire Malkang breeding farm is so large and there are quite a few breeders, so it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with these five wild boars.

So the meal tonight is indeed very sumptuous.

The next day, Liu Dingren brought three people. They were all barefoot doctors and veterinarians from the neighborhood. These were the only doctors Liu Dingren could summon immediately.

The three of them came to learn how to treat musk deer.

As for the musk deer breeding booklet and musk deer treatment case book that Zhao Mancang provided yesterday, Han Tianqi and his team had already gathered people and worked as fast as they could to copy several copies.

This is the power of unity.

In just one night, they were able to copy out several copies of booklets and case books totaling tens of thousands of words. That's really amazing.

There are no printing tools at the Malkang Farm, so they can only rely on primitive methods such as copying.

I guess we will have to wait until Han Tianqi sends Zhao Mancang away before we go to Rongcheng to print it.

Zhao Mancang didn't care about all this. When the other party sent people over, he simply went over the musk deer treatment techniques with the three of them.

Preventing diseases is the job of the breeder, while treating musk deer is the job of the veterinarian.

This kind of division of labor is actually not very good, but it is the best way at present.

Two days passed quickly.

During these two days, Zhao Mancang helped the Ma'erkang breeding farm to save more than ten musk deer and English musk deer, and prevented any of them from dying.

The three doctors also briefly reviewed the relevant techniques for treating musk deer, and Zhao Mancang was about to start his return journey.

He had only agreed to let Shen Baoai come here on a business trip for three days, no more.

Moreover, he didn't go out for fun much in the past three days.

You know, the scenery at the Ma'erkang Farm is still very beautiful. In Zhao Mancang's opinion, the scenery here is even comparable to Jiuzhaigou.

It’s just that the scenery in Ma’erkang is not as concentrated as in Jiuzhaigou and Daocheng, so Ma’erkang is not as famous as Jiuzhaigou.

When traveling, the most important thing is to enjoy the scenery along the way.

For Zhao Mancang, this trip was almost over. Carrying the gifts given by Liu Dingren and others, Zhao Mancang set out on the journey back to Chengdu at 4:30 in the morning.

The two wild boars that Zhao Mancang had killed with two daggers were directly made into sausages, and Liu Dingren arranged for them to be loaded onto horses.

These sausages are rushed through the night at their farm, dried in the sun during the day, and smoked in the kitchen at night. They are quite dedicated.

In addition to these sausages, there are also various dried wild delicacies and mountain products, which directly filled two large bags.

Liu Dingren even arranged for Duan Xiaotao and Fan Jingzhong to help escort Zhao Mancang to the train station. Only in this way could he help relieve Zhao Mancang's pressure.

Anyway, Liu Dingren said that this must make Zhao Mancang satisfied.

Although he failed to keep Zhao Mancang at the Malkang breeding farm, Han Tianqi was not so depressed.

After all, Zhao Mancang left behind a booklet and a case book on musk deer treatment, which was an unexpected gain.

The return journey for Zhao Mancang and his team went exceptionally smoothly.

The scenery is also quite nice, but Zhao Mancang can't go to other places to see other scenery, which is somewhat of a pity.

Next time I come here, I must visit Jiuzhaigou or Daocheng.

It is said that after visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won’t want to see water anymore. In fact, Zhao Mancang felt that after leaving Maerkang, he didn’t want to see water anymore.

Although the river water in Chengdu is relatively clear, it cannot be compared with the mountains and waters in Malkang.

After resting for a few hours in Chengdu, Zhao Mancang boarded the train back to Beijing that evening.

This time when he returned to the city, Zhao Mancang never expected that he would meet Lu Qingqi, Jiang Ling and others again.

"Hey, you're the doctor from last time, right? Sorry, I forgot your name, but I remember you're very good at medicine."

Lu Qingqi carried her luggage to her berth and saw Zhao Mancang sitting calmly on the lower bunk reading a book. She immediately spoke excitedly.

"Hello, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Zhao Mancang was immediately amused. He put down the book with a smile and looked around, but did not see the female comrade named Lian Qiufang.

I couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Comrade Lu, has your companion, Comrade Lian Qiufang, returned to the capital for medical treatment? Why haven't I seen her?"

Last time, Zhao Mancang had already suggested that the other party get off the bus halfway and hurry back to Beijing to recuperate.

But it was rejected.
