Chapter 46 Helping the Village Raise Pigs
"The production team has not much work today. Just work for a few of us adults. Awu, you guys pile up pig manure and vomit it. You will have to go to top dressing in a while," arranged by his father Li Deyou.
"I know, dad," Li Wen and his friends said quickly after drinking the porridge.
"Second, Xiaowen, let's go to the backyard to flip pig manure," Li Wu shouted at the two people sitting aside and resting.
"Awen, you little piglet grows so fast. It's only less than three months, and it's already more than one hundred pounds. I think you'll be able to catch up with the sophomore in more than a month," Li Quan lay on the pigpen and smiled at the piglet eating fodder.
"That's impossible. If sophomore Hei still feeds it as before, he can catch up, but it's the same as the pigs since the beginning of the month. There will be more than four months to celebrate the Chinese New Year. By then, the two pigs will definitely weigh more than 200 kilograms," Li Wen patted the head of the big black pig who looked at him and said with a smile.
"Then in this case, the pork we distributed this year should not be several hundred kilograms, and it will be sold," Li Quan said in surprise.
"There are also investments. Awen caught piglets and a large tank of bran recently. I spent about ten yuan on them. I will definitely sell most of them during the Chinese New Year, otherwise the villagers will not be jealous," Li Wu said with a smile.
"Yes, what's going on in the book? Don't worry about being weak but not being equal," Li Wen said with a smile.
"Anyway, no matter what, this pork in our family is bound to be indispensable during the Chinese New Year this year," Li Quan smiled and touched the pig's head in the pigpen.
Li Wen and Li Wu also nodded when they heard this, "Yes, we will definitely have a good New Year this year."
The pig manure I had saved for more than two months, and the three brothers worked all afternoon, and there were still some left.
After lunch, Li Wu smiled and said, "Xiaowen, this is the only thing left in the afternoon. You don't have to do it anymore. Your second brother and I will finish it. If you have time, go fishing for a few fish than staying."
"Yes, Xiaowen, go, my brother and I will finish this work. You can get some fish and let's drink some fish soup tonight. I haven't drunk it for a while, it's so fragrant," Li Quan said with a smile.
"Okay, you two, please wait," Li Wen smiled and threw down the iron in his hand, returned to the room and took out the fishing line and hook made, walked out the door.
"Wenwazi, come over and have a moment with my father and pass by the farm," Jiu Ye, who was enjoying the cool air at the door, waved to Li Wen.
"Okay, I'll accompany you for a while," Li Wen put down his backpack, pulled a few leaves from the tree and spread them on the steps at the entrance of the farm. He smiled.
"You are so savage monkey, you are so smart. Why haven't you seen you write a newspaper recently?" Li Junfeng asked with a smile.
"Hey, I can't write it out recently, so I have no idea," Li Wen said with a smile.
"I think I'm scared by these damn gods in the village," Li Junfeng laughed.
Li Wen smiled and said nothing, which was a default.
"Oh! Nowadays, people's hearts are uneven. A few decades ago, our clan had a talent like you. Who dares to extend his hand? The clan interrupted him directly."
"Now the village is in charge of it, so it is not allowed to build a ancestral temple. It's a pity that your child is, but don't blame the villagers in the village. It's hard for everyone to have a good time these days, and it's inevitable that they have ideas," the old man patted Li Wen's shoulder and comforted him.
"Jiu Master, don't worry, you are all in the village. Everyone is a tribe member with the surname Li. Although I have some resentment, I don't blame everyone."
"Some time ago, Li Shoucai came to fight with people from other villages, and the villagers all helped, which was touching. These days, everyone was not full and they were not warm in clothes. I suddenly became different. Everyone had thoughts, and I understood, so I don't blame everyone," Li Wen said with a smile.
"Oh, okay, your kid said it well, they are all from the family surnamed Li!"
"There is also the bastard Shoucai who actually joined forces with outsiders to run rampant in the village. If he had gone there, he would have been dragged to the Shentang. I met this little bastard some time ago and even hit him with a crutch," said Li Junfeng, the ninth master, and cursed.
"Master Jiu, don't fight with others. What if you bump into it?" Li Wen said with a smile at the elder.
"Okay, it's better not to say it. If you have any trouble in the village, I will know some people, grandpa," the old man patted Li Wen's hand and smiled.
"Well, thank you for being old," Li Wen said with a smile with a narrowed eyes.
"You kid, why are you doing with a basket on your back and holding a bamboo pole in your hand?" asked the old man.
"Today, my elder brother and I vomited pig manure, and there was not much life in the afternoon. I said I would go to the reservoir to catch a few fish and make some soup to drink in the evening," Li Wen smiled and weighed the bamboo pole in his hand.
"You kid, how did you catch piglets in the farm last time? Have you been raised to death?" the old man said with a smile.
"Look at what you said, how can I raise such a big piglet to death? It's well-raised. It's now more than 100 kilograms and I've eaten a lot," Li Wen said with a chuckling.
"Ha! It's more than 100 kilograms. Really, it's fake. There are two in the farm and your piglet in the same litter, and it's only more than 60 kilograms. You guy, you doubled your weight. What's wrong with it?" Li Junfeng stood up and asked hurriedly.
Li Wen said that he collected pig grass, stored it in green, and fed bran to pigs. After hearing this, the old man thought for a while.
"Awen, then this way, let's go to your house to see the pigs and Qingchuan first. If it is true, I want to experiment in the farm. If it succeeds, the New Year pigs in our village will produce a lot of meat, and the big livestock can also have Qingchuan to eat in winter," the old man said.
"Okay, I'll take you to see it," Li Wen stood up with his backpack.
"Okay, this attitude is like a soldier, you can do it at will, it's good," the old man stood up from the chair and said.
"My second wife, I'll go out for a while, watch it," the old man shouted to the second aunt who was helping the farm!
"Uncle Jiu, go, it's okay, I'll watch!" A woman's voice came from the door.
"Let's go, you guy walk slowly, the old man shouted!"
"Grandpa, my legs are useless. If I were young, I would have marched for 200 miles a day and I would have been able to walk a lot of money on you!" The old man recalled looking at Li Wen walking in front.
"Okay, I'll be slower," Li Wen shook his head gently and walked in a row with the old man.
"You little pig is so good. It grows from twenty kilograms to more than one hundred kilograms in three months. I think there are two big pigs that have about 160 kilograms, so they can all be slaughtered!" The old man said in shock at the pigs in the two pigpens.
"Well, this little piglet has been fed according to my method. The two big pigs started feeding according to my method at the beginning of this month, but they have grown to nearly twenty kilograms," Li Wen said lightly.
"It's very good. If you raise these pigs like this, it's okay for these two big pigs to exceed 200 kilograms, and it's okay for the little pigs to reach about 180 kilograms," the old man nodded and said.
"Justice Jiu, look at the five large tanks I use to store pig grass," Li Wen pointed to the five large tanks under the shed in the backyard.
"After more than three pounds of pig grass, one pound of green storage can be produced after at least one month of fermentation, and this tank can store more than 200 pounds of green storage. According to the size of the pig, I feed a few to more than ten pounds of green storage every day, and then feed some bran appropriately. The pig will stop barking when it is full, and it will naturally grow faster," Li Wen said with a smile.
The old man opened a large jar that Li Wen was feeding and grabbed a handful of green cups and smelled them. It was sour and had a smell of green grass. This was the fermentation smell.
"Well, this Qingcun looks good. I'm going to try it in our farm. Is it okay? You kid have to give Master Jiu some guidance," the old man looked at Li Wen and smiled and pointed at Daguan.
"Yes, there is no problem at all. The production team has a good harvest during the New Year, and everyone can have a good New Year," Li Wen nodded happily agreed.
"Master Jiu, let's move some Qingchuan from my house first and try it. It will take a month for you to use Qingchuan now. It's too long and it will take a lot of time. I have something ready to do, so I'll just give me a tank at that time," Li Wen said with a smile.
"Yes, Awen, you are such a good child, you are thinking about the village everywhere," the old man was very happy after listening to Li Wen's advice.
"Brother, let's help Jiu Ye drag a cart of Qing Chu over. The village farm also wants to experiment and feed our Qing Chu," Li Wen said to the two brothers who were already finished and who were repairing their own land.
"Come on," the two people who were working had already seen Li Wen and the old man playing in the pigpen, but they didn't come over. Now they heard Li Wen call them and ran over quickly.
"Master Jiu, I've taken a fancy to my pig grass," the eldest brother Li Wu joked.
"No, your pig grass is different from other people's homes. I have to plunder it for grandpa," said Ninth Master Li Junfeng with a smile.
"You are right here. My Qingchuan is really a good thing. It's easy to feed it, and you don't have to cook pig food. Feeding pigs every day is a child in my family, and you can do it," Li Wu said to Master Jiu with a smile.
"Really, you don't have to cook pig grass, just feed it," the old man didn't know that Qing Chu could feed it directly, so he was very surprised.
"No need to cook pig grass, this green storage really solves the big problem. If it is really possible, the village can raise a whole pig next year," the old man smiled happily.
"Qing Chu is really good, but if you want to reach the size of my pig, you have to be mentally prepared for this Jiu Master," Li Wen reminded with a smile.
"What, what recipe do you have for pigs?" Ninth Master Li Junfeng said in confusion.
"This, we feed it when we get some stools from the restaurant, so the pigs raised in the village must be slower than my pigs. I told you in advance to avoid you always thinking that I am hiding my own private life," Li Wen said with a smile.
"You guys have quite a lot of channels. This water-sucking pig is indeed fattening very quickly, but as long as the effect of green storage makes the pigs in our farm less than ten pounds than your family, it will be considered successful," the old man smiled slightly.
"That's absolutely fine. My pigs only feed some water in a week, and most of the credit is still based on Qingchuan," Li Wen patted his chest and said.
