At dinner, Tian Fei told his parents about the things in Hongcheng, especially the various pigs he bought. When his parents heard him say this, they also felt that Xiaofei had really grown up, and such a big thing could have rules. At this time, I finally let go of most of my heart, and I believe that Xiaofei will definitely succeed.

"Dad, did you go to the old rice factory in our village and ask the village committee, can you rent it?" Tian Fei asked.

"Xiaofei, I went there yesterday to take a look, and you should have an impression of that. The rice threshing workshop is still relatively large, 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, which should be able to shut down more than 100 pigs. But it's empty, and we have to build it with bricks, and it will take eight or nine days to wait until the cement is dry. Didn't you say that the pigs would be delivered in a week, but it was a bit too late. There is also a bit of a leak in the roof that needs to be repaired. The other thing is to build a water tower and septic tank and so on. Father Tian said.

"Dad, I didn't expect you to think about it a lot," Tian Fei praised.

"That's right, our family used to raise pigs, but not as big as you. ”

……

"Well, if we don't have enough time to build the wall, let's pile it up, and then we'll separate it with wooden sticks. Save time and materials, and when the lease is surrendered, it can be used in other places. Tian Fei said.

"There is also a matter of borrowing other people's pigsties, I plan to raise about 100 pigs to raise, just before the slaughter, when the pig is killed and sold for meat, compare the two to see which effect is better. ”

"Generally, there are two pigsties at home, so you have to borrow five, but don't worry, I'll borrow it from you tomorrow, and everyone will borrow it", Tian's father said with a big bag.

"Well, then I'll leave that to Dad. ”

……

The next morning, Tian Fei and his son acted separately, Tian Fei went to the village committee to talk about renting a rice factory, and Tian Fei went to several well-connected households in the village to inquire, planning to borrow someone's pigsty.

When I came to the village committee, it happened that the village chief Tian Zhenfeng was there. Tian Zhenfeng and Tian's father are cousins, so Tian Fei is also called uncle.

"Xiaofei, I heard that you don't plan to work outside and want to go home to raise pigs, is this true?" Tian Zhenfeng asked.

"Yes, Zhenfengbo, I think running a pig farm is a very developed project, not necessarily worse than the outside. I would like to ask you if you can rent a rice mill in our village, I want to rent it. ”

"The rice mill is empty and empty, of course you can rent it, but it's a little shabby and your own repair and repair. Tian Zhenfeng said.

"That's no problem, I want to ask how the rent is?" Tian Fei asked.

"Don't worry, Xiaofei. It's all your own people, and if it's empty, it's empty, and I won't charge you too high. If you're not afraid of gossip, it's okay for you to borrow it directly. The village chief said with a smile.

"Just give me two hundred dollars a month, pay it monthly, you see, okay? If you agree, I'll write you a note." ”

Tian Fei felt that it was indeed very cheap, so he agreed. I paid 600 yuan for three months' rent, and then took the village chief's note and left. I plan to go back and discuss with my dad about starting work tomorrow, who to invite and what materials to prepare.

Not long after Tian Fei returned home, Tian's father also returned.

"Xiaofei, I didn't expect you to come back so soon, what did the village say. I just went to a few places and asked, and everyone is willing to lend you a pigsty. ”

"Dad appeared, sure enough, one top two! I just met Zhenfeng Uncle in the village committee, and I am willing to rent. Then Tian Fei told his father what happened just now.

"Yes, our village is not like the city, these things are not valuable. I found your second and third uncle's families in the pigsty, and then there were your Aunt Yulan's family, Zhenlian's family and Zhiqing's family. The villagers in the big hometown also said that they don't want your money, and then you can kill the pig and bring a few catties of meat to others. Father Tian said.

"Dad, the most important thing is done now, we are going to change the pigsty tomorrow, who do you say we are going to invite?"

"Then I'll tell Pingping to come to our house for dinner at noon, and then you tell him about it, he is clear." Tian Fei knew that Pingping was a plasterer in the village and his skills were also very good, so he nodded yes.

……

At lunchtime, Ping Ping really came.

"College student, I heard that you are going to raise pigs at home, you have the courage. Ping Ping praised.

"It's just a small fight, Uncle Ping, and you'll have to help me figure it up later. ”

"Then tell me your plans, I'll do the math for you," Ping Ping said.

"I thought so, the rice mill was divided into two rows, the middle of the aisle of 1.6 meters, a total of 3×4.2 pigsty 12, and then left two two meters wide one for feed and one for wooden barrels, brooms, shovels and other items. It is necessary to connect the water pipes, build a water tower of five square sizes, build a pile yard and a manure pit on both sides, and build drainage ditches on both sides. That's pretty much it. Tian Fei said with a straight face.

Ping Ping took his notebook and wrote it down one by one, and after about ten minutes, he preached to Tian Fei: "According to your requirements, you need to prepare twenty bags of cement first, and two sides of the sand are enough, and then 12mm rebar needs 80 1-meter-long pieces of 1 meter long, which are used for standing piles." 2,000 red bricks. In addition, you need to prepare water pumps, shovels, buckets, etc."

Tian Fei also held the paper next to him and wrote them down one by one.

"If you are a man, you will hire four small workers, and I will bring one of my apprentices over. If you get paid, you'll be paid at our price, plus two meals and a snack in the afternoon," Pingping said.

"Okay, people and materials I'll have ready today. Then let's start work tomorrow morning," Tian Fei said.

……

In the afternoon, Tian Fei went to the township to buy shovels, brooms, buckets, pipes, and pumps, which cost about 1,000 yuan. The other red bricks were sent by Tian Fei's brother-in-law from the brick factory, and the sand and cement were contacted by Pingping, and they will also be delivered tomorrow.

……

Early the next morning, Tian Fei's brother-in-law, Yi Shaoping, sent 2,000 red bricks by tractor. Even the money was confiscated, saying that it was for Tian Fei, and wishing his brother-in-law's career a prosperous one.

Xiao Gong Tian Fei invited Aunt Yulan and three elderly people in their 50s, after all, now young and middle-aged people have gone out to work. In addition, Tian Fei's grandfather also came to help.

……

On June 13, 2003, the 14th day of the fifth lunar month, it is advisable to relocate, start, open and start the house.

At 6:18 a.m., the morning sun was rising.

"Crackling......" Under the witness of parents and villagers, the pig farm renovation project began.

Since the ground of the rice mill itself has been powdered with cement, it can be directly erected as a pile. After Ping Ping and his apprentice took a ruler and measured it, they determined the location and marked it, and then smashed down fourteen pits with a hammer, just enough to plant the rebar five centimeters. Four rebars are used for each pile, and the cement piles are grooved around the perimeter so that the sticks are strong and easy to insert.

In the morning of the next day, Pingping took his apprentices to build the water tower, and in the afternoon, he also powdered the drainage ditch and manure pit with cement. In this way, it will be able to dry in three days, and it will not delay the piglets to enter.

On the third day, the wooden stick of contact was delivered, and two small workers were arranged to play in an hour. Then Pingping installed the water pipes, connected them to the water tower, and installed the automatic water collection faucet. Then in the afternoon, three more workers picked up the tiles on the roof together, so as to ensure that there was no rain. The spring has also been enlarged a lot, talking about two layers of bamboo baskets, to ensure that more than a dozen square meters of water can be pumped out every day, completely after the pig farm use.

Finally, clean up, replace the two light bulbs, and the project is almost finished. Since the water tower and drainage ditch have not dried up after the cement has been powdered, Tian Fei has not stored water, but I believe that the problem is not big.

Tian Fei counted that the materials cost 1,600 yuan and the labor 1,200 yuan, of which the labor cost can be owed first.
