200 Lin He's thoughts
Li Changwen is a pig slaughterer, and the most suitable thing to do is naturally a butcher to sell meat, collect big fat pigs from farmers, and then slaughter and sell them in the town.
Apart from this, there seems to be nothing else that is suitable for a butcher to do.
However, after Jiang Lanying heard this, she frowned and was a little embarrassed: "This method, the boss has done it before, but it's just ......"
"Just what's wrong?"
Lin He was a little curious, since he had thought about it, why didn't he continue to do it?
Jiang Lanying sighed, expecting that Lin He should not know the doorway, and explained: "Xiao He, you don't know, in our area, several butchers are united. ”
Lin He blinked, thought about it for a while, and understood.
"Auntie, do you mean to say that when Brother Lobby wanted to do this before, he was ostracized by others?"
Jiang Lanying sighed lightly: "It's not, one more person, the others will make less money, who wants to." ”
Lin He was slightly surprised: "Uncle is also a village chief, no way?" ”
Jiang Lanying waved her hand: "Your uncle can speak a few words in our village, but it doesn't work outside." ”
"Before, your uncle specially invited those people to eat and drink, and they only agreed on the surface, but in fact, it should be what it should be."
Lin He said: "Yes, this butcher who sells meat is also a businessman, and it is related to the interests of others, so naturally there is also a circle of businessmen." ”
It's not a good time, and there's really no chance to squeeze in and plug in.
No wonder I heard that there are many people who can kill pigs, but there are only two or three meat vendors in the town.
The eldest aunt nodded: "It's not, that's why I want to ask Xiao He, do you have any ideas, can you point out your lobby brother." ”
During the New Year in the village, I will ask the boss to help kill the pigs, and I can also make some money, but that can only be regarded as making some pocket money, and if I want to make the family live better, it is still far behind.
At least, compared with the current third, it is far from enough.
In the past, the three sons were almost the same, and everyone didn't think there was anything bad.
Now the three children have something to do, although they haven't officially started work yet, but it's also a sure thing.
The boss is still the same as before, although the eldest daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but she will mutter a few words, and she, the mother, can only come to ask when she hears it.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the eldest aunt, Lin He thought for a while: "It's not that it's completely impossible. ”
Jiang Lanying's eyes lit up suddenly, and she waited earnestly for Lin He to finish speaking.
"Auntie, I remember the last time the family dealt with wild boars, the sister-in-law said that most people in the village kill pigs before the New Year, and they are looking for Brother Lobby, right?"
Jiang Lanying nodded again and again: "Yes, there were many people who killed pigs at that time, and those pork dealers were too busy, and some people used to sell fat pigs to your lobby brother, but when they sold piglets, they were deliberately raised the price." ”
There is only one family in their village that raises sows, and the sows also need boars to breed, and these resources are in the hands of those pork dealers.
There is also buying piglets, which seems to be available in other villages, but if people sell piglets, they also have to sell fat piglets, and those pork dealers can say hello and pinch the lifeblood of others selling piglets.
In this way, except for the Chinese New Year, Li Changwen helped kill New Year's pigs to make a few dollars, and he really couldn't make money from this aspect.
"That's right," Lin He said, "Auntie, have you ever thought that you can actually raise a few more pigs, I remember that sweet potato vines can be dried and stored, right?" Or ferment and preserve with koji. ”
This is a method that the original owner has in his memory, and the original owner has done these things himself.
"Pigs eat a lot, manure watered the crops, and they grow well; There are many kinds of sweet potatoes in the field, and I am usually not so busy and tired. ”
"Otherwise, it's okay to raise rabbits, pheasants breed very slowly, and the chicken is relatively thin, but rabbits grow fast, rabbits grow to half a year, give birth to a litter a month, eat not as much as pigs, and grow quite fast."
Maybe it's not as profitable as raising a few more pigs directly, but it's also much easier than raising pigs.
After all, in these years, there is no feed to say, all kinds of weeds are eaten, no matter what you raise, it grows slowly, but if you raise rabbits, it will be much more convenient.
Jiang Lanying listened carefully, and when Lin He finished speaking, she said with some hesitation: "Xiao He, in fact, I wanted to tell you before, chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, it's not good to raise too much." ”
Lin He didn't expect the eldest aunt to say such a thing, and was slightly stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Lanying paused for a moment, as if she had just figured out how to explain.
"It's that these things have been raised too much, one of them is sick, and the others are all infected, and some people have raised them before, and those who are lucky are naturally nothing, but all of them are dead, and there are not a few."
"Especially in the summer, there are a lot of pigs and chickens, and in the end, the capital may not be able to earn back."
Lin He thought about it for a while, and then he understood what the eldest aunt meant.
"Auntie, do you mean to say that you are worried that they will be sick and infected, and there will be no way to treat them?"
Jiang Lanying nodded: "Yes, don't raise too much, raise a few fewer pigs, and grow more crops, so it's better, at least not at a loss." ”
Lin He understood a little, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I know what you're worried about, but I think that as long as you clean the pigsty and chicken pen on time every day, and love to be clean, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
What the eldest aunt said should be true, livestock are raised too intensively, and they are indeed prone to infectious diseases, especially swine fever and chicken plague, etc., and a large number of deaths.
But Lin He had already thought about it before, she really wanted to engage in breeding, but she didn't say that she had to raise a lot.
And she has spiritual powers, which can improve the physical fitness of domestic animals, that is, immunity, etc.
Coupled with frequent cleaning, don't let the manure accumulate in the pigsty and chicken pen for too long, in general, there should be no problem.
However, other people do not have the ability to do this, and there are very few veterinarians now, and there are naturally no veterinarians who specialize in the treatment and defense of various diseases of domestic animals.
In this way, it is indeed risky for others to want to expand their farming.
Thinking so, Lin He said: "Auntie, it's better to let the sister-in-law raise a few rabbits first, raise a few less, it's not a big problem, it's not hard, and it can also subsidize the family." ”
"And our family is going to keep their own sows to breed pigs, and in the future, when the family sells fat pigs, we will let the lobby brother accept it and sell it, so that others will always have no way to stop it."
There are now seven and a half pigs in the family, and five of them are wild boars, so you can't keep them all for yourself, right?
And she discussed with Li Changhui, the wild boar left a male and a female, and after the pigsty in the town was covered, she would buy two domestic pig piglets, one male and one female.
In the future, their family specialized in breeding wild boars and domestic pigs!
