"Pig farming?" Although Liu Dashan didn't understand why Xiao Jinyue suddenly thought of asking this, he still said honestly, "In the early years, the family was quite passable, and there was once a pig. ”

"Can you tell me how you raised it?"

"You can speak, you can speak."

Raising pigs is not a secret, and naturally there is nothing that cannot be said. Since the girl wanted to know, he naturally wouldn't hold it back.

In the early years, although the family was quite passable, the eldest brother and he married their own sons one after another, and the eldest sister and second sister got married, and the family was gradually emptied.

When it was the younger brother's turn, the family saw that they couldn't come up with the money to give the dowry, so his father gritted his teeth and decided to buy a little piglet to feed him.

Thinking that when he is raised and sold, he will naturally have money to give to his younger brother as a dowry.

After the piglets were bought, the children in the family had to go out every day to fetch pigweed and feed them because the adults had to take care of the crops in the field.

Although the children raised it carefully, the pig grew slowly, and it was raised for a year and a half and was slaughtered, and it was not even a hundred catties.

And because it was a boar, it smelled big and there were few people who loved to eat, so it was only sold for less than 1,000 yuan in the end.

After a year and a half of hard work, this money is really not cost-effective. As the children get older, it is better to follow the adults into the fields and serve the crops.

In addition, some people in the village raise pigs, and if they are not served carefully, it is not uncommon for them to die of illness before they are raised.

That's really a bamboo basket to draw water, a waste.

Therefore, after selling the pig, the family did not continue to feed it.

Xiao Jinyue twitched the corners of her mouth after listening to Liu Dashan's story. It's no wonder that they are reluctant to raise pigs, and it took a year and a half of hard work to raise pigs to sell for less than 1,000 yuan, which is too low.

However, she knew that castrated pigs not only did not smell bad, but the meat was delicious, and they also grew faster than pigs that had not been castrated.

So she asked with a smile, "Uncle Liu, I want to ask you to help me raise pigs, are you willing?" ”

When Liu Dashan heard this, he was really taken aback.

Xiao Jinyue asked this, which was also a temporary idea.

The smell of yesterday was always hovering in her mind, and as long as she thought about it, as long as she couldn't eat any part of the pig's body in the future, she felt that life was gloomy and that there was no fun in the rest of her life.

After all, this is ancient times, and cattle were used to plow the fields, and they should not be slaughtered at will. If you can't kill cows, you can't eat beef, and her favorite food is cow.

Whether it's stir-fried beef, fried steak, beef ribs, or stewed brisket, she likes grilled beef skewers. Or use snowflakes, hanging dragons, fat cows, etc. to eat hot pot is also a must.

The thought that she couldn't eat it was enough for her to go crazy, and she wanted to travel back to the modern era immediately.

You can't eat beef, so you can only settle for pork. But the smell of pork was unbearable.

Seeing Liu Dashan's father and son today, she came up with the idea of raising pigs.

As long as the piglets are castrated and raised, there will naturally be no smell.

She wants to raise pigs, firstly, to satisfy her appetite, and secondly, to sell them for money.

She believes that no one can refuse a pig raised after castration. The most eaten by modern people is pork, and this is the best proof of this.

Although she didn't know how to raise pigs, she knew that pigs raised with rice bran and wheat bran mixed with bellflower and various vine leaves grew better than pigweed.

She asked Liu Dashan to help raise pigs, naturally not for nothing, she planned to pay 50 yuan every month, and then provide rice bran and wheat bran for pig raising, and then buy it at a price 10% higher than the market price after it was slaughtered.

Liu Dashan was simply stunned by what Xiao Jinyue said.

Even the Xue family is powerless to support her forehead, the daughter of another family, either reciting poetry or doing needlework, her daughter is good, she actually wants to raise pigs.

Although she doesn't have to feed herself, if it spreads, it will still be ridiculed by the world.

Seeing that her daughter looked serious, she was not joking, although Xue had a stomach, it was not easy to ask her in front of outsiders.

Xue glared at his daughter and signaled that she was not allowed to speak, and then said to Liu Dashan, "Xiaoxi Daddy, in fact, I want to raise pigs, and our house has a large population, so the daily expenses are naturally more, and the money for buying vegetables and meat every month is a lot." ”

"I was thinking that if I could raise some poultry and livestock at home, I could help with it. Besides, what you carefully raise at home is definitely better than selling noodles and buying them. ”

"I didn't expect the little girl to be anxious for me, and before I could open my mouth, she first proposed to ask you to help raise pigs."

The honest and honest Liu Dashan listened to Xue's call and nodded again and again.

In his opinion, what Xue said did make sense, such a large mansion, with so many people up and down, must be an astonishing amount of money spent every day.

If you can raise some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, you don't need to buy them outside, you can naturally save a lot of money. Besides, what you carefully raise yourself is indeed better than the outside.

In this way, as soon as Xue called, Liu Dashan nodded and responded to the matter of raising pigs.

In the end, he took the money for buying pigs advanced by the Xue family in advance, and took his son to rush home happily.

Liu Dashan didn't expect that he would get a great benefit from this trip to Xiao Mansion.

In the future, not only will the chopped firewood not be sold, but also help Xiao Fu raise pigs, there will be fifty literary wages every month, and Xiao Fu will buy back the pigs he raised, and he will not worry about losing money if he can't sell them.

The most important thing is that helping to raise pigs will not delay the work in the field, a few children in the pigweed family can be brought back, and Xiao Fu will also provide rice bran and wheat bran for raising pigs.

There are many children in the family, and the harvest in the field depends on whether God appreciates his face. When the year is good, it is just to maintain a food and clothing, and when the year is bad, it is common to eat a meal and worry about the next meal.

Therefore, in addition to the work in the fields, he often has to go into the city to find some work to earn money to support his family.

But there are many people like him who go to the city to find work, and the work in the city is limited, and they often can't find work.

And now, with the great good thing of raising pigs, he finally doesn't have to go into the city to run into a wall, as long as he carefully helps Xiao Fu raise pigs, he will have a stable income of fifty wen every month, and he doesn't have to delay the work in the field.

In his opinion, there could not be a better joy.

Liu Dashan carried the silver in his arms, and hurried home with fluttering steps, he now felt full of energy.

Xiaoxi carried the snacks sent by the fairy sister, and followed his father to the house with a happy face.

What his father said was really good, they met a nobleman, and soon their family would have a good life.

Moreover, his father said that he was the lucky star of the family, and when the family made money in the future, he could be sent to the school to read and write.

Liu Dashan's father and son left, and Xue finally asked the words that were full of stomachs.

Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to explain that she saw that her mother was worried about the expenses in the house every day, so she thought of raising pigs and selling them for money.

And she saw in the book that as long as the piglets are castrated, the pigs will not have a peculiar smell after being raised, and the meat is delicious, and the number of people who accept to eat pork will increase greatly.

In the future, the pigs she let people raise will not only not be unsellable, but will also become a sought-after commodity.
