【Chapter 145】 The opening is auspicious
November 18 of Gengchen is a good day provided by Luli Daxian, and it is also the time when 'Zhangji Pig Farm' began to be put into operation. For many people in Qingyun, almost every major event requires a Dao Gong to choose a son, so that they can have peace of mind.
Qingyun folk picking a good day is not as simple as looking at the calendar, but there is another very complicated judgment method, which requires the help of professionals. The choice of the son is not only based on the prompts on the imperial calendar, but also combined with the master's birth date, and even some taboos of the ancestors to make a comprehensive judgment in order to get the most appropriate time.
In the past, Liu Rui, who received a materialist education, was still a little unaccustomed to the superstitious activities of these gods, but after going home for a long time and getting used to it, Liu Rui slowly accepted this reality. Although Liu Rui has not yet agreed with this behavior, he has also learned to respect the choices of the elderly and villagers in his family.
After all, to exist is to be reasonable!
As the most famous Taoist near Qingyun, Luli Daxian has a full schedule every day, and even has assistants to help him take care of some trivial things. As one of the most famous figures in Liangcun, Zhang Zhenguang naturally did not slack off in his request, and personally set a good date for the pig farm to be put into use.
Luli Daxian Reality carefully analyzed the birth dates of Zhang Zhenguang and others, combined with the location of the pig farm, and finally according to this year's yellow calendar, it was determined that it would open today.
Zhang Zhenguang originally wanted to name it 'Liu Rui Pig Farm', as an emphasis on Liu Rui, and hoped that Liu Rui would be more concerned about the development of the pig farm. However, Liu Rui felt a little chilled when he thought that he would walk around the rivers and lakes in the name of a swineherd in the future. In the end, under Liu Rui's efforts, the pig farm was finally named 'Zhang Ji', which is also very in line with Qingyun's traditional habits.
Early this morning, the pig farm was lively, including the little girl and Liu Zhi, the Liu family was the whole family out together, Liu Rui's grandfather, and even Zhang Huaizhong, who rarely appeared on lively occasions, was also happy to attend. The Zhang family and the Liu family added up to more than 20 people, plus the relatives and friends who came to help and watched the lively blind date, the pig farm ushered in a noisy morning.
Under the coordination of Zhang Zhenzu, the truck carrying the breeding pigs and piglets arrived in Qingshan this morning, crossed the river by ferry, and finally arrived in Liang Village. Although the road construction site was passed, the trucks full of piglets and breeding pigs arrived at the pig farm safely, and in a new environment, the piglets seemed to be a little excited, screaming in the pig cages, and the shrill cries almost tore people's eardrums. The members of the Zhang and Liu families listened to these voices, and their faces were full of expectation, hoping that these piglets could lead them to the road to prosperity.
The surrounding relatives and friends looked at nearly 100 piglets, with different expressions of shock, envy, yearning, etc., and they were all a little surprised by the courage of the Zhang and Liu families! Originally, everyone thought that the pig farm would buy a batch of breeding pigs and then develop it slowly. However, looking at the current situation, the pig farm not only wants to breed breeding pigs, but also slaughter pigs in the first time, and the ambition is not small.
The villagers with active brains have begun to estimate the various inputs of the pig farm in their hearts, and after coming up with a general result, everyone is a little shocked, this time the Zhang and Liu families are really generous.
Indeed, this time since the start of the pig farm, the construction funds, labor costs and various miscellaneous expenses have exceeded 150,000. In Qingyun, a town with a per capita annual income of only more than 1,000 yuan, this is a huge amount of money.
Although Liu Rui's three uncles contributed equally, they still borrowed all their relatives and friends, and also applied for loans from the credit union. The Zhang family has regarded this farm as an important sustenance to make a fortune, and has poured almost all their energy here.
The previous 150,000 yuan, plus tens of thousands of yuan to buy piglets, plus some pre-deposited liquidity, the entire pig farm needs at least 200,000 yuan if it wants to be officially put into operation. Perhaps, for the boss in the city, this amount of money is nothing. But for Qingyun, who is still a rich person with 10,000 yuan, this is a huge amount of money.
Looking at the energetic piglets on the truck, Zhang Zhenguang was still a little nervous, like a primary school student waiting for the test results to be announced.
At the beginning, Liu Rui said that he started to invest in the construction of a pigsty, and Zhang Zhenguang was still looking forward to it in his heart, thinking that this was a very good development project. However, as the affairs continued, after purchasing various equipment for the pig farm, Zhang Zhenguang found that the investment was getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on his body was also increasing.
After two months of hard work, the huge investment in pig farms is finally on the right track today, and whether the huge amount of money invested can bring corresponding benefits is the most concerned issue of Zhang Zhenguang and others. Of course, this problem is also a common concern of the villagers of Liangcun, after all, this is the first time that such a big deal has appeared in Liangcun.
The villagers are waiting to see if the Zhang family's investment is effective, they may also join in and start investing in planting and breeding on a large scale; However, once the pig farm loses money and cannot make ends meet, I am afraid that the villagers will hide far away and no longer dare to try!
After the car was parked at the entrance of the pig farm, relatives and friends who came to help rushed up and began to unload all the piglets from the truck and place them neatly at the door. Originally, trucks could be driven directly into the interior of pig farms, but due to some rigid customs, the piglets had to be lifted over the threshold one by one and over the fire.
For this reason, under the auspices of Luli Daisen, at the main entrance of the pig farm, a bonfire is burning, and the fragrance of pine wafts in the air.
The villagers who came to help worked in pairs to pass through the pigpen with long bamboo poles, then lifted the piglets and quickly passed them over the campfire before placing them in the cleaned pigsty one by one.
In Qingyun's customs, a bonfire can ward off evil spirits, minimize the influence of the outside world, and ensure that the pigsty of the house is always clean and the six animals are thriving.
Next to the bonfire, Luli Daxian was wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe, holding a magic weapon, and was chanting words and reciting scriptures in his mouth. Today is the first day of the opening of the pig farm, so it is natural to make it a little grander, and there is no need to be so enthusiastic about the new piglets purchased in the future.
Adults are used to this kind of scene, and they feel that it is not unusual at all, and they are busy calmly. However, the dolls are different, they seem to think that Luli Daxian's every move is so strange, it is very attractive to their attention. Because Luli Daxian behaved and talked a little strangely, the dolls were both curious and scared, so they could only stare at it from a distance, with their eyes wide open.
Even the little girl watched with interest, and for her, perhaps these scenes always made her little head a little chaotic.
When I was in school, the teacher always instilled materialism, saying that the activities of feudal superstition were the product of decadence and backwardness, and should be resolutely resisted. But as soon as they returned home, the old people in the family strongly promoted these activities, saying that they wanted to keep them safe, even if the two uncles were party members. Two very different ideas clashed violently in the little girl's head, making her feel extremely confused and confused.
Liu Rui stood beside him, looking at the little girl's slightly confused eyes, he naturally knew the reason very well, and felt that it was necessary to explain it to the little girl.
Liu Rui has also had such an experience, sometimes drilling the horns of the bull will make the head more confusing, if someone explains and explains, things will not be too bad.
"Don't you find it incomprehensible?" Patting the little girl's brain, Liu Rui asked with a smile.
"Uh-huh!" The little girl nodded violently, and the surprise in her eyes could not be concealed.
Sometimes, the little girl thinks that the eldest brother is too powerful, and he doesn't say anything, he knows what he is thinking?
"There will always be different things in this world, everyone has a different way of thinking, and we don't have to limit ourselves!" Liu Rui organized the language in his heart a little, and said carefully: "Don't jump to conclusions too quickly, whether it is correct or not depends on the results of practice." Be more patient to observe life and observe the world! ”
Because she was afraid that too sharp words would stimulate the little girl and make her thoughts even more confused, Liu Rui had to rack her brains and say some opinions that she thought were relatively mild. After all, for a junior high school student like Little Girl, she should not be stereotyped too early, but should stimulate her spirit of observing the world and embracing all kinds of ideas.
Perhaps, only in this way can the little girl analyze the world with a more inclusive thinking, and in the future, she can contact the essence of the world more clearly and achieve greater success.
After talking to Liu Rui, the little guy's eyes finally got rid of the confusion and returned to clarity, which made Liu Rui let go of the heart that had been hanging.
Liu Rui's brother and sister are communicating, and the ceremony of piglets entering the pigsty is still going on in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, the pig pens that had been neatly arranged outside the courtyard quickly disappeared, and the piglets began to merry in the spacious pigsty.
It lasted until ten o'clock, and one hundred piglets and ten breeding pigs were also sent to the designated pigsty one by one to start their new life. Perhaps it was because they got rid of their fears, or perhaps because the pigsty was more spacious and comfortable, and the piglets, who were originally very noisy, quickly adapted to the pigsty of the pig farm.
Looking at the piglets who gradually quieted down in the pigsty, Zhang and Liu's families breathed a sigh of relief, and after a long time of preparation, the pig farm was finally on the right track.
After all, a good start is half the battle!
Of course, they can't draw conclusions about what the pig farm will develop into in the future, they can only try to get things done.
Overall, today's opening ceremony went quite smoothly, and naturally the Zhang and Liu families were very happy and thought that the development of the pig farm had a good start!
