At noon, Lin Xu cooked a pot of braised pork in order to entertain his father-in-law and uncle.
In this day and age, who can resist the temptation of braised pork? The pot of meat was completely eaten, not even a drop of soup was left!
Seeing them eating so happily, Lin Xu felt that the next step should be to enclose a piece of land in the village specifically for raising pigs.
Nowadays, the pork they eat is bought from the county. Twenty-five cents per pound is not too expensive, but the key is that there are only a few butcher shops in the entire county, and the market supply is very small.
I don’t want to attract other people’s attention, so I don’t dare to buy too much every time.
In the future, more and more people will work in the village, and the consumption of pork will definitely increase. By then, even if you buy all the meat from the butcher shops in the county, it may not be enough to eat!
Therefore, in terms of pork supply, we must gradually achieve self-sufficiency.
In addition to raising pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, including fish and shrimps must also be raised, and vegetables must be grown to ensure food diversity.
If you want to do these things, it is actually very simple.
There is plenty of land in the village. Although it is not possible to grow crops, it is no problem to engage in breeding. In addition, there is no shortage of labor. Not only the people in their village, but also people in nearby villages have heard that the current living conditions in Linshan Village are so
Well, I don’t know how many people are jealous and want to work in Linshan Village!
The only shortcoming is food.
Although he also has knowledge reserves to improve food production, such as developing hybrid rice technology, and planting high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.
However, hybrid rice technology cannot be developed overnight.
As for high-yielding crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, as far as he knows, they have not yet been introduced into the country.
Therefore, there is no way to solve the food problem for the time being. We can only rely on buying and hoarding.
...
In the afternoon, after seeing off his father-in-law and uncle, Lin Xu went to the brick kiln factory to find the old village chief.
Although he was the owner of the brick kiln and textile factory, and it was up to him to decide who would work here, he had to give the old village chief a break to show respect.
As a result, when I first arrived at the brick kiln, I saw several children busy working, some collecting firewood and some making bricks. The eldest among them was twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old.
One of them was a little girl who looked to be about four or five years old. She was so thin that she had no flesh on her body. She didn't even wear shoes. She was struggling to hold a blue brick in her hands and was walking towards the pile of bricks with faltering steps.
....
Suddenly, the little girl's hand slipped and the brick fell down, almost hitting her foot!
Lin Xu was terrified when he saw it!
Their brick kilns only bake large blue bricks, and each brick weighs seven or eight kilograms. If this green brick hits a child's foot, it will definitely break her little foot!
She is still so young, and her current medical conditions are so poor, she might even be permanently disabled!
Seeing the little girl bending down and trying to pick up the brick, Lin Xu immediately shouted: "Stop picking it up!" This chapter has been completed!
