Chapter 104: Decision
"A hundred bucks?" Wu Qingmei said in shock.
She didn't expect that it would cost 100 yuan to feed a pig in total, and she was so surprised that she hadn't seen 100 yuan in her life so far.
Thinking of spending a hundred yuan on a pig, she only felt a little ridiculous, and was about to open her mouth to persuade Meng Youyou not to buy any more feed, when she heard Meng Youyou say again.
"We feed pigs with pigweed, which generally takes a year, and when we are slaughtered, it is generally two or three hundred catties that are good, isn't it?"
This knowledge was only understood by Meng Youyou after he specially went to find the information and studied it carefully, and he also asked Qian Fengying and Grandma Zheng before he dared to be sure.
"And if you eat feed, it generally only takes seven or eight months to be slaughtered, not to mention that the time is shortened, and the most important thing is that pigs can grow to four or five hundred catties."
Wu Qingsong's eyes lit up, and when he glanced at Wu Qingmei, he saw disbelief in the other party's eyes, and after a pause, he asked, "Can it really grow to four or five hundred catties?" ”
If it can grow to four or five hundred catties, it can be sold for three or four hundred yuan when it is slaughtered, and when the time comes, in addition to the money for buying pigs and feed, it can also make a net profit of two or three hundred yuan.
I knew that he would work all year round to earn his share, and he wouldn't be able to earn a hundred yuan by the end of the year, let alone two or three hundred yuan.
If you raise a few more pigs, wouldn't it be worth thousands of dollars a year?
The more Wu Qingsong thought about it, the happier he became, as if he had seen the money beckoning to him, and he just wanted to go to the county seat to buy feed and follow Meng Youyou to feed the pigs better.
Meng Youyou knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but splash a basin of cold water, "Uncle, you have to take into account that this is the most ideal state, if the pigs are raised too much, it cannot be ruled out that the pigs will get sick." ”
Scientific pig breeding is indeed to be promoted, but if you blindly pursue more money, then in the end the pig raises more, if a pig is sick, other pigs are infected, it will not be a blood loss.
That scene, Meng Youyou didn't want it to happen, so he naturally had to remind Wu Qingsong that everything should be done according to his ability.
Wu Qingsong remembered that there were sick pigs in the production team a few years ago, and then they died after not long after raising them, and he was a little worried for a while, "Then what do you say?" ”
Meng Youyou thought about it, the Wu family now has two big pigs and two small pigs, a total of four pigs, let him take out four hundred yuan to buy feed, naturally he can get it, so he said.
"Uncle, you buy feed now, so that the pigs don't eat pigweed, I see that your two big pigs don't have to wait until the end of the year to be slaughtered, so it's not too late to take the money to buy piglets when the time comes to slaughter in advance."
Give a buffer time, so that you don't have to spend too much cash at once, saving Wu Fusheng and Wang Feizhi the two old people from worrying too much, and when they look back and wait for the pig to get the money, they will naturally understand the benefits of scientific pig raising.
"Cheng, I listen to you, I'll go buy feed tomorrow morning," Wu Qingsong couldn't wait and decided.
The family raises pigs every year, but he never knew that the difference between feeding pigs with feed was so big, and after seeing it with his own eyes this time, he was touched a lot.
"Yoyo, you're so smart, how did you think of that?" Wu Qingsong praised.
Meng Youyou smiled a little shyly, "There was an agricultural expert in our village before, and I followed him as an assistant for a while, and I heard him say that he wanted to raise pigs and grow rice scientifically." ”
"Scientific pig raising, scientific rice planting?" Wu Qingsong repeated it and laughed, "Well said, we are going to talk about science." ”
It seems that no matter what, you still have to have knowledge and culture, thinking of this, he decided that he must urge his two children to study hard in the future, and he must not be as illiterate as him.
"Youyou is smart, she is going to participate in the English competition next month," Meng Zhenzhen has been sitting next to them, listening to their words, and after thinking about it, she is even more proud of Meng Youyou, and said.
She has always been at home, looking at the pigs that the Meng family has raised for so many years, but she has never thought about "scientific pig raising".
"That's great," Wu Qingsong laughed out loud and stood up.
He was even happier than Wu Qingmei, because he had heard Wu Leilei talk many times, it was very difficult to learn English, and since Meng Youyou was able to participate in the competition, he must have ranked among the best in the whole school.
"Yoyo, if you come back with an award, my uncle will definitely reward you well," Wu Qingsong promised.
"Yes, yes, I will reward you too," Wu Qingmei only knew that she was going to participate in the competition, although she didn't understand it very well, but it didn't prevent her from encouraging Meng Youyou.
Meng You couldn't help laughing, pretending to be annoyed and glaring at Meng Zhenzhen, and then deliberately said, "Then I'll wait." ”
If nothing else, she should be able to advance to the finals, as for what kind of ranking she can get, then Meng Youyou doesn't know, but the reward they promised must not have run.
Wu Qingsong was not worried about breaking the bank, and he was even eager to spend the money, because he loved these two nieces in his heart and spent money for them, and he was very happy.
When I think of scientific pig raising, I am even happier.
With a smile on his face, he went all the way home, and saw that everyone in the family was sitting in the hall waiting for him, and he didn't care about washing his hands and eating, so he only announced, "Dad, Mom, Meiqiu, I'm going to go to the county seat tomorrow to buy feed, and I want to raise pigs scientifically like Youyou." ”
"What is scientific pig breeding?" Liu Meiqiu asked when she heard this word at first glance.
Wu Qingsong repeated what Meng Youyou said, and calculated the account she had calculated for him, and said, "Although you may have to invest some money in the early stage, I think Qingmei and they can do it, and our family can do it." ”
Everyone wants to make money, and it is relatively easy to make money, so it is naturally even better.
"Will this work?" Wang Feizhi looked left and right, still a little suspicious in his heart, and asked.
Wu Qingsong glanced at Wu Fusheng and said, "Mom, I saw with my own eyes that the pigs of the Qingmei family are a lot bigger than our family's big ones, and we estimate that it will take two or three months to catch up with its current appearance." ”
Liu Meiqiu didn't have so many doubts, she didn't believe in Meng Youyou, let alone Wu Qingmei, but believed in her man, she knew what kind of person Wu Qingsong was.
Thinking that if it is true, then it is naturally the best, and the family can be more financially comfortable in the future, if she loses money in the end, then she will not complain, at most she will spend money to buy a lesson.
So no matter what, she supports Wu Qingsong.
Wu Fusheng hesitated for a moment, then clapped his hand and said, "Qingmei, they dare to try, what do we dare not do, buy feed tomorrow." ”
