Tang Dazhu knocked on the door.

After a while, Li Dabao opened the door, "Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang, my mother has been waiting for you for a long time, come in." ”

"Thanks for the invitation." Tang Yunshan was polite, and the family followed Li Dabao and came to the house together.

Liu also came out of the kitchen and greeted the Tang family.

Liu Pan'er greeted her in person, "Brother Tang, sister-in-law of the Tang family, and two nephews, hurry in." ”

Mrs. Tang put the basket of steamed buns on the table, smiled and said: "Madam, I don't have any good things at home, the steamed buns I just made, I am good at this, it is very strong, it is a little bit of our heart, don't dislike it, madam." ”

Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, her tone was quite sincere, "The sister-in-law of the Tang family is polite, I stand here, I smell the fragrance of steamed buns, my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good." ”

After speaking, Liu Paner took out a steamed bun directly from the basket, broke half of it, took a bite, and gave the rest to Li Dabao and the children.

The steamed buns are not white, but they have a rich wheat aroma.

Liu Paner likes it very much.

Seeing that Liu Paner was not disgusted and looked like she liked it very much, Mrs. Tang also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Madam, when we hold happy events in the village over there, we all like to invite me to make steamed buns, which are delicious and tendonous." Seeing that Madame didn't dislike it, I was relieved. ”

Liu Pan'er invited them to sit down, and said while eating, "Sister-in-law, don't say that." Such delicious steamed buns, I still dislike them, and I will be damned. Think of us fleeing from our hometown, eating wild vegetables and bark. It was then that I realized that gold and silver were important, but in the face of famine, food was the foundation. ”

Liu Paner said this, narrowed the relationship with Tang Niangzi's family, and no longer saw the outside.

Tang Niangzi empathized, "What Madame said is that our place will also invite disasters. One year, I ate elm money, and I was swollen all over, but I couldn't help it, and if I didn't eat, I would starve to death. ”

"Do everything possible to settle down in the south, so you don't have to flee the famine." Liu Pan'er said softly, "Although there will be disasters here, it will not be fruitless." Sister-in-law, you will definitely not regret coming here. ”

Tang Niangzi smiled and said: "I don't regret it, I don't regret it in the future, and I don't regret it now." Madame treated us with courtesy, and our family was grateful. Madam, let's not come to the void, you said to ask me to raise pigs, now is the most suitable to catch piglets. Look, when will you catch the piglets? ”

Liu Paner hesitated, "You are in a hurry, you haven't rested well, and it's not good to do heavy work." ”

Tang Niangzi waved her hand, "Madam, we can work when we are full of food and drink, and we have already rested." Besides, raising pigs is not a tiring job, I can do it. Madam, if you don't arrange me to do things, my heart will not be steady! ”

Seeing that Tang Niangzi insisted, Liu Pan'er responded, "Okay, early tomorrow morning, I will let someone take you to catch the pig." Catch ten piglets first and try to raise them. ”

"If there is enough pigsty, catch twenty directly, there is a lot of grass in the south, and if you beat pigweed, plus a little bran, you can feed these pigs." Tang Niangzi wanted to raise more pigs for Liu Paner and show her ability well.

Liu Pan'er smiled, "The pigsty is covered on the hillside by the pond, and there are more of them, just to raise more pigs and save more fertilizer for farming." After lunch, I'll take you to see it. ”

Talking and laughing, and they are all about the farmer's family, plus the Liu family is also talking about pig raising on the side, Tang Niangzi soon became close to Liu Paner's family, and gradually integrated into Jixiang Village.

Li Dabao took Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu to introduce the younger brothers and sisters below, and took them around the village to get to know Jixiang Village and strive to integrate into it as soon as possible.

Tang Yunshan saw his happy atmosphere, and then he was relieved.

It's the right place to come here.

At Liu Paner's house, prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain the Tang family, and the guests and hosts are happy.

After eating, Tang Niangzi began to urge Liu Paner to go to the pigsty to have a look.

At this look, Mrs. Tang was dumbfounded, looked around the pigsty several times, and reached out to touch the green bricks and tiles on it, "Madam, it's really a blessing to be your pig, and you live in a brick house." ”

When Liu Paner heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, "These bricks are all unqualified, and after I checked them out, I didn't give money to the brick kiln, but I didn't want to use these things to build houses for people, so I got them over to build a pigsty." There are two pigs in one pigsty, and there are twelve pigsties here, so you can raise twenty-four. ”

Tang Niangzi shook her head, "With such a big pigsty, it is too few to raise two, even if you raise four." However, if there are more pigs, you should pay special attention. Once you get sick, you can be contagious. I have a good idea, though. Madame, you prepare some lime. After that, I cleaned the pigsty every day, cleaned it, and sprayed it with lime water, so that it could be kept clean, and it was no problem to raise more pigs. However, there are too many for me to do alone. ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "Raise a lot, of course you can't be left alone, and you still have men and children, and you have to take care of your family." I looked for Li Shiye in the village, and when the time came, I lived in that house and watched here at night. During the day, he also helps with work. You come in the morning, go back in the evening, and pack a lunch at noon. Twenty dollars a day, and when it's time to sell the pigs, I'll give you a 10% dividend. The better the pig grows, the more dividends you will receive. ”

The salary may not be high, but the dividend is quite substantial.

Hearing this, Mrs. Tang was even more satisfied, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely be able to pick a good little pig tomorrow." Buy more from a few families, when the time comes, we will raise two strong breeding pigs, leave a few sows to give birth, and we don't need to go to other places to buy piglets, saving a sum of money. ”

Liu Paner's eyes lit up, "I listen to the sister-in-law of the Tang family." ”

In addition, Liu Paner also arranged things for Tang Yunshan, responsible for the security of the town, two taels of silver a month.

Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu read and read in the school.

In the school, because there is no suitable master, Guo Niangzi is still in charge. However, it has been divided into two classes, one for girls and one for boys.

Although Guo Niangzi is tired, as long as she can let the children in the village study more, Guo Niangzi is willing, and she must be worthy of Liu Paner's salary of two taels of silver per month.

Early the next morning, Tang Niangzi and other people in the village drove the ox cart to catch the piglets.

The second dog drove the ox cart and took Tang Niangzi all the way over.

Divided into three days, twenty-four pigs were bought.

Tang Niangzi cleaned the pigsty, sprayed it with lime water, dried it, and put the piglets directly in it. But now the pigs are still small, and there are four pigs in a pig barn.

It's easy to feed, and when it's time to clean, you only need to clean half of it. Wait until the pigs are bigger, and then divide the pen.

Mrs. Tang serves these little piglets more wholeheartedly than serving milk dolls.

The pig food is all boiled, and then served with tender pigweed. The little piglet ate very happily and screamed. It's very different from just coming to the new pigsty.
