There was no episode in buying the piglets, the person is an acquaintance of the uncle, and the relationship with the aunt's family is not bad, the piglets are weighed and sold, and the pigs are not fed today.
According to what the uncle said, selling small piglets is generally fed and sold, and selling big fat pigs is to be hungry in advance and sold on an empty stomach, which is a general consensus.
It can be said that the owner's family deliberately did not feed today, waiting for them to buy piglets, which really gave a lot of face.
Li Yongkang told the two of them about this in advance, and they also knew it, so they didn't say much when they bought it, and directly weighed and gave money, and they didn't even bargain at all.
Two little piglets, one twenty-two pounds and one twenty-three pounds, were just a full moon, twelve dollars a pound, a total of more than five hundred dollars.
This litter of little piglets, more than eight or nine, less five or six, can also be sold for two or three taels of silver.
On the way back, Lin He silently calculated the account in his heart, and finally sighed: "This sow is still very profitable, giving birth to two litters a year, which is more profitable than farming." ”
Sure enough, it is still very necessary to engage in breeding, and it is definitely more cost-effective than planting crops with one mind!
The two little pigs were packed in bamboo baskets and placed in the ox cart, Liu Yongkang and Lin He were the same as when they came, one sat in the car body, with the little pigs, and the other sat next to Li Changhui.
Hearing Lin He's emotion, Li Yongkang shook his head.
"Where is it so easy, this serving a sow, it is also necessary to have the ability, and it also has to be served by a special person, especially when the piglets are born, it is inseparable from people for twelve hours, otherwise if you are not careful, the piglet will be crushed to death by the sow."
Lin He was surprised: "The piglet will be crushed to death by the sow?" ”
Li Yongkang said with a smile: "That's not it, being crushed to death by a sow, drowning in a pit, the weather is too freezing to death, there are a lot of them, especially in the first few days when the piglets are born, almost all people sleep next to the pigsty and guard." ”
Lin He smacked his tongue, this is indeed not easy, he deserves to make money, at least the crops don't have to be guarded day and night.
"By the way, what Lao Zhang just told you has been memorized, right? Don't feed it when you take it home today, feed it with warm water, feed it tomorrow, and if it's cooked, feed it a little less, a little thinner, and then slowly increase it. ”
Lin He and Li Changsheng both listened carefully, the master had already said it just now, and the uncle reminded him again at this time, and he didn't feel bored.
In addition to these, there are precautions for raising pigs in the future, which grasses can be fed to pigs in the mountains, etc., which are also very detailed, after all, the uncle's family has also raised pigs for decades and has rich experience.
Li Yongkang said it very happily once, and when he finished speaking, he found that he was about to return to the village, and he felt a little embarrassed for a while.
"Ahem, don't think the uncle talks too much, it's mainly because you two young people, and you can't count on that father, Changhui hasn't worked at home for many years, I'm afraid you don't understand a lot of things."
Lin He hurriedly shook his head: "Uncle has thought too much, and thank you for talking about this, otherwise when we encounter these situations, we don't know what to do." ”
She really has no experience in raising pigs, and some are just the memories in the original owner's mind, what summer pigs are prone to heat stroke, winter is easy to catch colds, what to do if they have diarrhea, and pigs actually cough?
Well, Lin He said that it was the first time he had heard of it, but the uncle told them various solutions.
Although Li Changhui didn't speak, he was listening very seriously, which was also the main reason why Li Yongkang accidentally talked too much.
Seeing that both of them were so humble and seeking advice, Li Yongkang was also very satisfied.
"Don't Changsheng and Xiuling like to look for you, I'll let them go to your house more often in the future, if they don't understand, you can also ask them."
Li Yongkang didn't know what Lin He's specific situation was, but Li Changhui had been in the military camp for ten years, and even if he used to be a good hand at farm work, he probably forgot all about it at this time.
It is precisely because Li Changhui has been in the barracks that most people in the village think that Lin He was also brought back by Li Changhui from the border pass.
So just be Lin He, and he won't be able to.
Lin He naturally agreed again and again, she was in Xiang'an Village, and the two people she was most familiar with at present were Li Changsheng and Xiuling.
And they are of the same age, and they get along more naturally, unlike many older people in the village, who are familiar with Lin He, either talking about her in-laws, or hinting at how she is a stepmother.
Although they are all harmless gossip, but always listening to that, in the end, it still makes me unhappy in vain and affects my mood.
As for Li Changhui, at present, except for Li Changsheng who is enthusiastic with him, everyone else is okay, although they don't avoid it when they see it as before, it's okay to try not to look for Li Changhui.
Back in the village, Li Yongkang was sent home first, and the three children were taken home together, Lin He hugged Li An, Li Yu and Li Hao squatted in the ox cart body, happily looking at the two little piglets in the bamboo basket.
Lin He squinted at the excitement of his two sons, and suddenly said: "Yu'er Hao'er, it won't be so fun in the future, you will have to hunt pigweed every day in the future, and you will have to feed chickens and rabbits, you know?" ”
Li Changhui, who had just parked the ox cart, glanced at Lin He with an unchanged expression, the little chef didn't say that before, she said that she would feed the pigs and chickens by herself.
Lin He seemed to feel something in his heart, and happened to look up.
As if he had guessed what Li Changhui was thinking, his eyes dodged for a moment, and then he looked directly at Li Changhui again.
"The two children are not young, and other people's families also beat pigweed every day, and besides, I don't work."
Li Changhui didn't say anything, Li Yu hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "Mother, let Hao'er watch the child in the future, and I will go with you to hunt pigweed!" ”
It's not that I didn't work in the fields with my father.
Lin He nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, it's not too small, you can help your father and mother with housework." ”
Li Changhui just smiled, lifted the bamboo basket, and prepared to put it in the pigsty first.
The pigsty had been cleaned up in advance, and even the pig trough was washed very clean, Lin He thought of what the uncle said, and hurriedly gave Li Ansai to Li Yu, and hugged a bundle of straw to follow.
"It's still a little cold at night during this time, this little pig has just been full moon, don't freeze."
Lin He wasn't particularly worried about the precautions that the uncle said, when she first caught the little pig, she secretly sent some spiritual power over.
After that, as long as you have a period of time, you can send a little spiritual power to strengthen your body or something, and it's no problem at all.
Maybe they can grow even better.
As far as Lin He himself observed, the crops in the field were better than before.
However, Lin He couldn't be sure whether it was the credit of spiritual power or the reason after watering.
The two put the piglet in the pigsty, boiled hot water and fed it a little, and it was not too early, and they could make lunch.
