Chapter 117: The Novelty of the Pig Barn
As for the purchase of 1,000 acres of land, no one else in the village knew about it except Luo Hui'an and Tong Shan, and the villagers only regarded the surrounding vacant land as ownerless wasteland.
Later, I heard that Tong Chuxue planned to raise pigs, and everyone paid close attention to her actions.
After all, Tong Chuxue planted rice before, and the yield of one mu of land was as high as 1,000 catties, and they had never seen such a high-yield variety in their lives. This time she planned to raise pigs, and everyone was aroused their curiosity, could this little piglet rise to 300 catties, and what kind of price did these 300 catties of piglets have to sell.
It's a pity that when the pig house began to be built, I was puzzled when I saw the excitement. Obviously saying that he was going to build a pig house, Luo Changhua actually led people to start digging the ground, and did not stop until he was about half a foot deep.
But because of Tong Chuxue's previous achievements, everyone felt that this move must have deep meaning.
Although Luo Changhua was in full swing, he didn't understand why he did it, "Snow girl, what are you doing digging such a big pit?" ”
Tong Chuxue explained, "The temperature below the ground is relatively stable, warm in winter and cool in summer, which is more conducive to the growth of pigs. I estimate that under such conditions, pigs can be slaughtered in half a year. ”
Luo Changhua was very curious about this idea, "Snow girl, how did you come up with it?" ”
Tong Chuxue smiled, "I originally planned to dig a cellar at home to store food, and then I thought of this. ”
Luo Changhua felt that Tong Chuxue's brain was different from others, and he was very smart from digging a cellar to building a pig house.
The pig house was built very quickly, and the first batch of Tong Chuxue did not plan to raise too many pigs, so he decided to test it with a hundred first.
There are not many people who raise pigs in Qingshan Village, not because they don't want to raise them, but because the cost of raising a pig is really not low. Many family members already don't have enough to eat, let alone feed the pigs.
Tong Chuxueyuan thought that after the pig house was built, he could hire people to raise pigs, but now it seems that those families whose families are so poor that they can't eat basically don't raise pigs.
Tong Chuxue found Tong Shan and discussed how to deal with this matter, Tong Shan thought about it and suggested that she ask someone to come over to teach.
To put it bluntly, it's to find a teacher for everyone. This matter was handed over to Luo Hui'an, and he didn't have any homework during this time, so he had time to deal with it.
Here, Tong Chuxue and Tong Shan spent a few days working out the basic way of raising pigs.
However, Tong Shan strongly opposed Tong Chuxue's suggestion that he personally accounted for 10% of the profits of the pig factory, "As Lizheng, it is my duty to do things for the village, how can I still make a profit from it." ”
Tong Chuxue persuaded, "Uncle Lizheng, you will be in charge of raising pigs in the future, and you can have any problems with taking out one percent of the profits." In other words, as the one who contributed the most, you didn't take any money, so how could other villagers be embarrassed to take money. ”
"However, you bought the land, and you built the pigsty, so why should I take a share? Besides, what is there to manage in raising pigs. Tong Shan frowned.
Tong Chuxue smiled secretly, Tong Shan still hasn't realized the responsibility he shoulders, and after the pig factory is formed, there are still many things to be busy.
However, Tong Shan couldn't beat Tong Chuxue after all, and took a hundred percent of the benefits.
According to Tong Chuxue's concept, this pig factory accounts for 40% of the village, 10% of the village, and she does not contribute money and land, accounting for 50%.
In this way, the village will have a public part of the income, and in the future, it will be able to build roads, houses, and schools.
The first piglets arrived quickly, and the barn was built in the style of a greenhouse, but there was enough space around it for light to enter.
Tong Shan selected two families from the village, responsible for raising pigs, one person adopted fifty heads, and the village paid 300 yuan a month. The two families are very grateful, and promise to work hard and never be lazy.
The pig plant was up and running in no time.
Raising pigs is hard work, and the two of them have to go to hunt pigweed before dawn every day, but the consumption of a total of 100 pigs really makes the two of them a headache.
However, this is not a difficult problem to solve, Tong Shan specially carved out a vacant land on the side and let the two of them grow some vegetables to make pig food.
Although these two people have learned the skills of raising pigs, it is much easier to grow some vegetables, anyway, pigs are not particularly picky eaters, and they can grow a lot.
Tong Chuxue bought such a large piece of land, and now only a small part of the 1,000 acres of space is used, building two pig houses, and then setting aside two vegetable gardens, and the rest of the place is empty.
Tong Chuxue went to the pig barn to check the situation that day, and the two villagers in charge of raising pigs greeted Tong Chuxue very warmly when they saw Tong Chuxue coming.
Tong Chuxue's two sheds have turned around, and the cleaning inside is quite clean, and the little piglets are white and tender, which is quite cute.
It's just that Tong Chuxue always feels that something is wrong, and I don't know if it's her own delusion.
The two thought that Tong Chuxue was just coming over to take a casual look, but they didn't expect Tong Chuxue to lie on the railing, staring at the little white pig in the shed without blinking.
"I counted, and the number of piglets doesn't seem right." Tong Chuxue suddenly turned around and said to the two.
The two looked at each other and said in fear, "It shouldn't be, how could it be wrong." ”
But Tong Chuxue counted twice before and after, and the piglets in the east greenhouse were clearly two missing.
Both of them reacted in a panic, Tong Chuxue smiled, "Maybe I counted wrongly, in this way, I went to find Lizheng, and everyone should not make a mistake by counting together." ”
One of them looked panicked and wanted to stop Tong Chuxue, but Tong Chuxue had already raised his feet and left before the two of them could react.
The two were left looking at each other.
Soon, Tong Shan followed Tong Chuxue to the pig barn, he went to the shed and counted it himself, and found that there were indeed two pigs missing in the shed on the east side.
The person in charge of managing this shed was Xie Daniu, Tong Shan said in a serious tone, and asked, "You say, what's going on?" ”
Xie Daniu is also a person who can't lie, he can obviously look flustered, but he just doesn't admit it, "I didn't, you must have counted wrong." ”
"The count is wrong, Xie Da Niu, you tell the truth, where are the two missing pigs?" Tong Shan said solemnly.
Xie Daniu looked at Tong Shan, then at Tong Chuxue, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know." ”
"I don't know." How could Tong Shan believe this, and immediately turned cold, "If you can't say it, you won't do this job." ”
He paid 300 yuan alone, not to recruit thieves.
No matter what Tong Shan said, Xie Daniu just insisted that he didn't know, and the two piglets who disappeared became an unsolved case.
Tong Chuxue thought it was really strange, these little piglets, even bought and transported about one or two silver, but Tong Shan gave them a salary of three hundred yuan, and they could also have an income of more than three taels of silver a year, no matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective than stealing piglets.
Seeing that Xie Daniu's mouth was tightly closed, Tong Chuxue thought for a while and said, "Xie Daniu, the deed signed at the beginning said that if you lose a pig, you will have to pay three taels of silver." ”
