Chapter 538 Do You Still Want To Raise Pigs?
"Why?" Jin Bao blinked in confusion.

Jiang Yun seemed to have something to hide, and he said after a while, "Because it will hurt you."

After he finished speaking, he bit his lip and didn't intend to stay any longer. He left Su's house and ran towards the woods alone.

Although he didn't understand what he meant, Jin Bao didn't chase him.

After that, the Su family would have an extra bag of branches every now and then.

Two days later, Su Jianmin was sure that the pigsty was all right, so he went to Captain Luo and said that the pigs from the production team could be transferred to his house.

The villagers all ran to Su's house to watch the excitement.

"Uncle Luo," Jin Bao asked, "What is the target for the pig mission?"

Luo Youlong explained: "It's like this. The minimum standard is 150 catties for a pig, the second class is 200 catties, and the first class is 250 catties."

"Is there any difference in the prices of these three levels of acquisition?"

"The price of third-class pigs is 4 cents a catty, the price of second-class pigs is 6 cents and 2 catties, and the price of first-class pigs is 1 yuan per catty."

Speaking of this, Luo Youlong couldn't help sighing and said: "Generally, it is impossible to reach the first class. First-class pigs must not only meet the weight standard, but also have fat color requirements. The coat color must be shiny, fat and strong, otherwise it will be considered as a scale head." Even if it is enough, it cannot be accepted.

Our village requires at least fifteen third-class pigs and five second-class pigs this year.

After reaching the mission goal, in addition to cash, the grain station will also provide us with a certain amount of feed subsidies when the mission pigs are sold at the end of the year. Each pig is [-] catties of corn, and the price is more than ten cents cheaper than the market price when purchased at the grain station with a ticket. Woolen cloth. "

After hearing what he said, Su Jianmin couldn't help but ask, "What if you can't complete the task of selling pigs?"

"That's terrible. Every spring, the resale food will be cancelled, and we will all go hungry."

Bai Lu had never lived in the countryside before or worked as a farmer, so she didn't understand what it meant to sell grain back, so she asked her husband in a low voice.

Her husband explained: "The current principle is 'give enough to the state, keep the collective, and leave the rest to the individual', so although farmers grow their own food, often the food they grow is not enough for them because of the heavy tasks at the top. .

In order to let the farmers have enough to eat, there is a saying of selling back grain, which means that the state will sell back some of the grain to the farmers according to the shortage of each village. Generally, tens of catties are used for poor households. If the households are extremely poor, there is another free assistance relief food. "

Bai Lu frowned immediately, and said worriedly: "Then isn't the sale of grain this time very important?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the task of raising pigs would be tied to the sale of grain."

Su Jianmin has been away from the countryside for too many years, and many policies have changed.

Luo Youlong said at this time: "So, no matter how difficult it is, this task must be checked and accepted."

Seeing the worry in Su Jianmin's wife's eyes, he hesitated for a while, and said out of good intentions: "You may not understand how much energy it takes to raise a pig. Most people are exhausted enough to raise two pigs, let alone twenty pigs. pig.

Pigs are the most edible. Our own pigs can only eat some rhubarb leaves and grass, but the pigs for the task must be fat, so they have to eat buckwheat clothes mixed with wheat bran or grass mixed with wheat bran, which is very troublesome.

In addition to these feeds, pig grass must be fed continuously..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Lu had already retreated, thinking that raising pigs was so troublesome and so important to the whole village, there was really no need to take it upon herself.

"Mom, don't be afraid." Jin Bao shook her mother's hand.

Looking down at her daughter, Bai Lu's worried mood improved a bit, but she was still a little uncertain.

"It's almost November now, and there are still three months before the New Year," Jinbao said to Luo Youlong, "I want to know how many catties your production team has raised for nine months, and how much less it is than the required task weight. "

After hearing what his daughter said, Su Jianmin immediately realized, "Yes, it's best to weigh it."

"Are you sure you want to help the production team raise pigs now?" Luo Youlong said, "Since you want to raise pigs, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Bao interrupted: "Whether you want to raise it or not, you have to see how many catties your production team is raising now. If it is too far away from the task, we don't want to take over this hot potato. scolded."

Others in the village felt that Jinbao's request was quite reasonable.

They are also very curious about the weight of the pigs that the production team has raised for nine months.

The expressions of the members who were in charge of raising pigs became a little ugly, "Captain, this..."

"Why are you standing there? Scale! Go and bring the scales here. I also want to see how you have raised the pigs this year."

In fact, there is no need to weigh them at all, just by looking at them, Luo Youlong can already see that the twenty pigs are not well-raised.

But to be honest, I can't blame those members for this incident.

This year's tasks are too heavy. In addition to plowing the ground to fertilize and grow rice, we have to feed the fish every day. In addition to catching fish once a month and sending them to the fishery company, the village also has to repair canals, pick sand and stones, and do all kinds of physical work... …

There are many old people in the village, but there are only a few young and strong men. Women are responsible for raising children, cooking, sewing and mending clothes. It is also a lot of trouble. Who has so much energy to raise pigs?This pig is so good at eating, if you eat less than one meal, you will be hungry and thin immediately.

When Luo Youlong sighed helplessly, the members had already moved the pigs onto the scale.

The heaviest pig was only 110 jin, and the lightest pig was only [-] jin.

"Captain Luo, this pig is far from the mission target above." Su Jianmin said.

When the other villagers saw the weight of the pig on the scale, they couldn't help exclaiming, "Isn't this too light?"

"I've been raising them for nine months, not to mention second-class ones, not even first-class ones or third-class ones."

"It's over, our village will definitely not sell back the grain this year."

There are more than a dozen extremely impoverished families without young adults who are waiting to sell grain to save their lives.

Among them, some were sent by white-haired people to black-haired people, and their sons died young, and some of them did not have any sons, and all their daughters were married off.

Looking at the thin pig in front of them, the old people felt that it was impossible to complete the task. Sad expressions appeared on their thin and sallow faces, "Are we waiting to die (are we waiting to die)?"

"I can't live (I can't live)."

Luo Youlong looked at them like this, feeling sad and anxious, "Oh, don't you think like this, there are still three months, pigs are most likely to grow fat in winter, and we will definitely complete the task."

"Dalongzi, if you really have the confidence to complete the task, why would you hand over the pig to a newcomer with a different surname?" the old man asked.

The other old people onlookers also said one after another: "Don't lie to us, it is impossible for this pig to grow to two hundred catties, are you afraid of taking responsibility, afraid that we will not choose you as the captain next year?"

Luo Youlong kept reassuring them, and repeatedly promised that there would be resale of grain next year.

"Jin Bao," Bai Lu asked her daughter at this moment, "This pig is too light, why don't we keep it?"
