Gave away twenty catties of handmade sweet potato flour, and Xu Zhengdao, who still had more than ten catties left, didn't feel any pity. In many cases, making sweet potato flour is not about eating, but about enjoying and experiencing the process.

Even if he is a human being in two lives, Xu Zhengdao does not dare to say that he has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. There are many things that you can only know what it feels like if you have experienced them yourself. The production process is indeed tedious, but the moment of harvesting the sweet potato flour is very fulfilling.

After spending one night in the courtyard, Xu Zhengdao returned to the farmhouse courtyard in Kangmin Village. Knowing that he was returning, Zhong Jianguo, who had been entangled for a long time, finally decided to listen to him, planning to build a pig house before the year and raise more pigs next year.

Even if he needs to be in debt for this, Zhong Jianguo said very directly: "Dad, mother, if the village really divides the land, how much land can our family share?" By farming and selling grain, how much can our family earn in a year?

The second brother and the third brother are not young, they have reached the age of getting married, they can't get the gift money, they can't build a new house, who is willing to marry their daughter? If you continue to delay, when will the second and third brothers marry their daughters-in-law and start a family? ”

At present, my father is sick and cannot do heavy work at all. Although it doesn't cost much money to take medicine every year, the family's expenses are here. Just rely on the income from the settlement of work at the end of the year, and pay off the famine owed by the family, how many cents can be left?

Compared with his father's illness, Zhong Jianguo felt that poverty was the disease that his family should cure the most. For my father's illness, Xu Zhengdao helped to grasp the medicine for diagnosis and treatment, and the medicine cost was up to dozens of yuan a year, and this money was squeezed out.

What they really need to solve urgently is to make money and build a new house. As the eldest son, he has two younger brothers who have passed the legal age of marriage, and they don't have a family for a day, and he feels panicked when he is an elder brother.

Changed to be the brother of other people's families, when the eldest brother's family is full, he doesn't care about his parents and his younger brothers and sisters. But Zhong Jianguo asked himself if he couldn't do it, his daughter-in-law was well-behaved, but his two younger brothers were single, which made him feel very incompetent.

At the end of the discussion, Zhong Jianguo also said directly: "Dad, mother, Jianjian, Jianmin, if you are afraid of raising pigs and making your family owe more famine, then I borrowed this money." No matter what you make or lose, I'll pay it back in the future. ”

"Boss, what kind of bastard? Why should you be responsible for the family's affairs? I don't agree with that. ”

"Brother, we don't agree either. If you want to carry it together, we will listen to you about this matter, and you can do whatever you say. ”

With the consent of his father and younger brother, in the face of Zhong Jianguo, who specially came to seek advice, Xu Zhengdao, who had just returned from the city, was also very pleased: "Jianguo, it is said that fighting is a brother, a father and a son soldier, and raising pigs must be reliable." ”

"Well, I think so too. As long as the pigs can be raised, I think at least they won't lose money, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less. The real thing to be careful about is not to get sick with the pigs. If you raise this thing, you are afraid of getting sick. ”

Seeing that Zhong Jianguo had really thought about raising pigs, Xu Zhengdao also agreed: "Pigs will get sick, it's nothing more than eating bad things, or the hygiene is not clean." Let you build a pig house, is to let the pigs eat happily and live comfortably.

After the beginning of spring, regardless of whether the village divides the land or not, you can grow some sweet potatoes in your own land. This thing is loved by pigs, and sweet potato vines can also be used as pig food. When the sweet potatoes are dug up, they are made into powder if they can't be eaten, and the sweet potato residue is used to feed the pigs.

All in all, as long as you dare to want to break through, even if you suffer a little now, then at least you know that you will lose there. If you don't even have the courage to try, do you think it's possible to make a fortune and improve the life of your family? ”

"Well, that's what I thought, too!"

Knowing that he wanted to make such a determination, he thought that Zhong Jianguo's family had carefully considered it. As the proposer, Xu Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "When do you plan to build this pig house?" Before winter, it is best to build a pig barn. ”

"It's not a big deal! The point is, I really don't know how to build a pig house with a lot of pigs, it can't be the same as building a house, right? Also, I haven't figured out how big a pig barn to build. ”

Zhong Jianguo, who said this, was somewhat embarrassed. But Xu Zhengdao quickly said: "This matter is not a big problem! Since I suggested that you raise pigs, then I will definitely help, the drawings of the pig house, I will draw them to you in two days.

In the early stage, I think it should be enough to build a pig house with 100 heads. Accumulate experience first, and if you have experience, you are not afraid to expand the scale of breeding. In addition to the pig house, there should also be a special breeding room.

I heard Uncle Zhong say earlier that your family is crowded into the old house, and the room is somewhat insufficient. If you don't mind, you can build two houses next to the pig barn, which is more convenient for people to live in and store food or feed.

If you meet a sow giving birth, you probably don't have the heart to go home and sleep. If there is a sleeping room next to the barn, you can also move in. In addition, it is more convenient to have a big stove, some pig food needs to be cooked, what do you think? ”

"Done! The village party secretary and my father both said that you are a rare cultural person in our village. I listen to you about this! ”

"That's fine! Since you trust me so much, I'm embarrassed if you don't help. I probably won't be able to help you with feeding the pigs. But if you build a pig house in the early stage and sell pigs later, I can still help you. ”

The next day, Xu Zhengdao drew a building plan of the pig house according to the area of the slope behind the Zhong family. Seeing the drawings, the Zhong family was slightly shocked and said, "This is built for pigs to live in?" Wouldn't it be too fancy? ”

"If you want a pig to grow fast, you have to make it comfortable. In that case, it will be able to eat and sleep, and eat as much meat as it sleeps. Don't worry, I calculated, it probably costs less than 500 yuan to build a pig barn, but it can be used for several years! ”

"Five hundred yuan is enough to build a big tiled house."

"It's just money to build a pig barn, and I'm going to let you dig a biogas digester under the pig barn. In that case, pig manure and everything can be flushed into the digester. At that time, using biogas to cook rice and use electricity can also save a lot of money.

It is important to dig a biogas digester so that it does not pollute the environment. Moreover, the pig manure processed by the biogas digester can also be poured into the ground as fertilizer. If you don't build this biogas digester, the pigs will be raised too much and the smell will be stinking, and the people in the village will also have opinions. ”

Although the protection of the environment is not as strict as that of later generations. But Xu Zhengdao didn't want to, because some people in the village raised too many pigs, and in the end, the village smelled bad. After a long time, the villagers will definitely have opinions.

If the villagers complain or make a report, it will also be troublesome for the Zhong family. Building a biogas digester looks like it's going to take a lot of money. But in the long run, he thinks it should be built, and the fertilizer should be returned to the village in due course.

When the fields begin to be divided into households next year, manure, a natural fertilizer, will also become a favorite farm fertilizer for many farmers. There is a pig farm and a biogas digester that produces fertilizer from a steady stream of energy.

If the Zhong family can't run out, let the villagers pull it for free, and I believe the villagers will be happy. In these years, although there are already chemical fertilizers, the price of chemical fertilizers is high, not to mention, the key money may not be able to buy it.

If you want to produce more food in the field than others, there is no other way than to fertilize more. After listening to Xu Zhengdao's narration, Zhong Jianguo's father, Zhong Younian, also felt that it made sense, and immediately said: "Fertilizer is a treasure, and this pool is worth building." ”

When the final calculation is completed, it will cost at least nearly 1,000 yuan to build all these things. Such a large investment undoubtedly frightened the Zhong family, but in the end, Zhong Jianguo still said: "Support the bold, starve the cowardly, build!" ”

What surprised the Zhong family even more was that Xu Zhengdao borrowed 1,500 yuan from Zhong Jianguo at one time. In the future, this money is naturally nothing. But in 81 years, it is really rare for people who dare to borrow and are willing to borrow so much money!
