Chapter 9 Zhang Xiaohua, a large pig farmer
While the workers were in full swing to build the pigpen, Zhang Xiaohua had already made lunch.
These foods were a month's ration that she and Tu Su went to the town to procure yesterday, and these grains were enough to feed these workers for two or three days.
When Zhang Xiaohua was preparing food for the workers, Tu Su had already put Tu Ling to sleep, came to the kitchen, helped her bring the prepared meals to the table outside, and beckoned the workers to come and eat.
After hurriedly greeting these workers and finishing their meals, Tu Su was busy helping Zhang Xiaohua wash the dishes and chopsticks.
"Are you really sure you want to keep those boars?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua bring in the last stack of plates, Tu Su, who was washing the dishes and chopsticks, couldn't help but ask.
Just when he was eating, he heard Zhang Xiaohua's plan from the workers.
"Hmm. It's to be raised. Zhang Xiaohua nodded and approached, took the dishes and chopsticks from his hand, put them on one side, and squatted down to help wash the dishes, "Do you also think I'm making a fool?"
Tu Su looked at Zhang Xiaohua expressionlessly and was silent.
This expression......
Zhang Xiaohua twitched the corners of her mouth, this man really didn't believe her.
"I'll need you to help me then. ”
Zhang Xiaohua didn't explain much.
At this moment, someone was outside and peeking into their home.
"The second eldest of the Tu family, the second daughter-in-law, are you at home?"
Hearing the shouting outside the door, Zhang Xiaohua got up and walked out of the door.
Standing outside the door was her neighbor, Aunt Zhou.
"Aunt Zhou, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xiaohua wiped her water-stained hands from her apron, wiped the water clean, and walked over to Aunt Zhou.
"I've heard that you've bought hundreds of boars? You kid, you're confused! What is this boar for, it's just going to eat food, not fat.
Listening to Auntie's words, while those pigs have not yet arrived, you hurriedly go to the town and retreat. Don't waste money!"
Aunt Zhou stepped forward, held Zhang Xiaohua's hand, and said earnestly.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and patted Aunt Zhou's hand, "Aunt Zhou, I have my own reason for raising these pigs, you don't have to persuade me anymore, when I raise these pigs, I will share some meat with you." ”
"You kid, why don't you listen to persuasion!" Aunt Zhou stomped her feet angrily, "You are wasting money." I ......"
"Aunt Zhou. Zhang Xiaohua patted Aunt Zhou's hand, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly had an idea, "If you really want to help me, why don't you help me find some people to find some pigweed, I am going to use this pigweed to feed the pigs." For every 100 catties of weed, I will give 30 yuan. ”
"This ......" Aunt Zhou was a little confused, "The second family, it's not that my aunt said you, this pigweed can really feed the pigs, you don't want to feed the pigs to death." ”
"It's fine. It doesn't hurt to try. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and urged Aunt Zhou, "Aunt Zhou, please go and tell the people in the village." It can also give them a way to make money, right?"
"This ...... Okay!" Aunt Zhou smiled bitterly and went out to promote Zhang Xiaohua.
Just like this, five days later, Zhang Xiaohua's pigpen was built, and the pigs were also sent over after the pigpen was built.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua had negotiated with the people in the town's livestock market before signing the agreement, and the pigs were raised with them for a few days, and she paid some feeding fees.
And in these five days, the villagers also didn't believe that she could give 30 wen and 100 catties of pigweed.
Then Aunt Zhou called the family to cut more than 100 catties of pigweed for Zhang Xiaohua, and everyone went from ridiculing Aunt Zhou's family to the sensation after Aunt Zhou got Zhang Xiaohua's thirty yuan, and the whole village searched for Zhang Xiaohua.
Xinghua Village has a special geographical location, and the pigweed is all over the mountains, and it is the season for the growth of the piggrass at this moment, so in the eyes of these villagers, these pigweeds are the silver money everywhere.
As for Zhang Xiaohua, she has become a big wronged person who is stupid and has a lot of money in the eyes of these villagers.
When the whole village was vigorously engaged in making pigs and grass for Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua and Tu Su stood in front of a slaughtering table, on the table, a boar had been bound to four hooves, and its limbs were placed there.
Tu Su glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, who was holding a sharp blade and roasting on the fire with distilled spirits, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
To be honest, Tu Su is very resistant to what Zhang Xiaohua wants to do at the moment.
Because Zhang Xiaohua actually castrated these boars in front of him.
Being a man.
As Zhang Xiaohua's man, he has hidden worries in his heart.
After Zhang Xiaohua baked the knife, when she heard Tu Su's words, she raised her eyebrows, "Hmm." This is the method I heard from an old man before, and I didn't have the money to realize this idea, but now ......."
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, her hand raised the knife, and castrated the pig neatly.
Skillful.
The castrated boar screamed sharply, seeing this scene, listening to the boar's miserable scream, the crotch of several rough men who were invited to help by Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel cold, and glanced at Tu Su who was standing on the side with extremely obscure eyes.
Tu Su's girls are really tough, take a look at this skillful technique, and sew up the wound skillfully after castration.
In the empty mouth of the caster, the reason why she mastered this gelding technique was that she had to thank her best friend for going to her best friend's farm before.
I happened to see a master who was castrating a pig, and under a bet with her best friend, saying that she didn't have the courage to castrate a pig, she learned this technique from the master in her best friend's farm under the help of her competitiveness and the prize after winning the bet.
Now that she has traveled to this ancient time, where she didn't know that castration of boars could make boars grow stronger and have no smell, it gave her one more means of business.
"Alright. Put the castrated one in the pen over there, and replace it with the next one. Zhang Xiaohua sewed up the wound and instructed Tu Su to put the castrated pig in the pig pen next to her.
With 300 pigs, it took Zhang Xiaohua nearly half a month to steer the pig.
After the castration of the three hundred pigs, the ten pigs that had not survived were removed, and there were two hundred and ninety left.
These boars also jumped around from the beginning of the pen, to being castrated, lazily lying in the pigsty, eating, sleeping and eating, and truly returning to the pig-like life that belongs to them.
In these days, Zhang Xiaohua's family has harvested a lot of pigweed.
Except for a small part that was given to the boars to eat raw, everything else was cooked for them to eat.
It is worth mentioning that in these days, Aunt Zhou's family was fooled by Zhang Xiaohua into becoming a pig feeder who helped her buy and dispose of pigweed for pigs, and she gave their family one or two wages every month.
Under the condition of taking what they need, Aunt Zhou's family naturally accepted Zhang Xiaohua's invitation very willingly.
In less than a month, Zhang Xiaohua has changed from a prodigal slut to a big pig farmer who is stupid and rich in the eyes of others.
As for the villagers who were cutting pigweed for Zhang Xiaohua, they were secretly laughing at Zhang Xiaohua for being a fool who gave them money to spend in vain.
In the midst of all these ridicules, the days passed, and under the abundant feeding of pigweed, the scrawny boars grew fat at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Started to get chubby.
At this time, the villagers who laughed at Zhang Xiaohua couldn't laugh anymore.
