Chapter 540 There Are Two More Pigs in the Pigsty
Seeing Jin Bao's confident appearance, the Su family felt relieved.

Before dawn the next day, the pig that had eaten all night ran back to the pigsty by itself, lay on the ground with its head tilted and began to sleep soundly.

"One head, two heads, three heads, four heads..." At dawn, without washing their faces or brushing their teeth, Su Xiaosi and his fifth brother rushed downstairs and ran to the pigsty to count, "Eighteen, nineteen, twenty , 21, 22..."

"Fourth brother, did you count wrong? There are only twenty pigs in total, where did 22 come from?"

Su Xiaosi also found it strange, and counted them one by one again, and it was still 22, "Hey, Xiao Wu, count them."

In order to count more carefully, Su Xiaowu walked into the pigsty, "One, two, three, four..."

At the end of the count, he also counted 22 pigs, and he was stunned.

The two brothers ran home and excitedly said to their parents, "there are more pigs!"

Although Bai Lu believed in Jin Bao, she was still a little worried, so she fell asleep very late last night.

When I just opened my eyes today, I saw Xiao Si and Xiao Wu rushing forward, and the word "pig" was mentioned in their mouths again, which made her shudder, and hurriedly asked: "What? What's wrong with the pig? Is there a pig missing? what?"

Su Jianmin was so frightened that he lost sleepiness at this time, "What? The pigs are gone? How many are missing?"

"It's not less, it's more. There are two more pigs. I don't know what happened. Xiao Wu and I counted them several times. Now there are 22 pigs in the pigsty. Parents, why don't you count them too?" ?”

"Ah? Too many? How come there are so many?"

Bai Lu and Su Jianmin hurried downstairs, and Su Wennian, who had just woken up, also went downstairs.

Only Jin Bao was still lying on the bed sleeping, until he heard the faint voice of discussion coming from outside the window, then he sat up slowly.

Recognizing the voices of her parents, she went to the balcony to look out, and saw her parents and brothers gathered beside the pigsty, so she tilted her head in doubt, what's the matter?Are there fewer pigs?Impossible!

After changing her clothes, she put on her little white shoes and ran downstairs on the wooden steps.

"Father, is there something wrong with the number of pigs?" Jin Bao asked.

"Jinbao, you're awake," Su Jianmin said, "There are two extra pigs."

The little girl froze for a moment, and also felt puzzled, "Huh? There are two more pigs? Why are there so many?"

"Could these two be born from the previous twenty pigs?" Su Xiaosi asked, pointing to two relatively small pigs.

As soon as he said this, his father couldn't help laughing out, "Are you stupid? The task pigs are all boars, and they are all castrated boars. How could they give birth to piglets? Besides, How can there be a pig with such a big head?"

"What is a castrated boar?" Su Xiaosi didn't understand.

Su Xiaowu and his fourth brother explained: "It's the pig that my little brother was cut off."

"Ah? Why did you cut off the little brother?" It was the first time Su Xiaosi heard of such a thing. He lowered his head and glanced at himself, and his heart became entangled. "This is too cruel."

"What is cruel? If this pig is not castrated, not only will it not grow fat, but the meat will have a stench and be unpalatable, so I have to cut it off. You really don't have any common sense in life, and you don't know as much as your brother. .”

Su Jianmin complained about Xiaosi, and said: "In the future, if you live in the countryside, you need to know these basic knowledge. Don't think about playing all day long. After breakfast later, you and Xiaowu will go to the mountain to cut some sweet potato vines. , broccoli, bitter cabbage or pork cabbage.

After this dish is brought back, I will teach you how to chop pig grass.

Now there are two extra pigs for no reason, and the pig grass to eat will increase again. The appetite of this pig is to "wear the bottom basket". In addition to eating these wild vegetables, I have to go to the grain station in the town to buy some bran. The pigs have to eat rice bran In order to grow fat. "

Although his hometown has never raised pigs before, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. He knows how to raise them. Now relying on Jinbao's ability, pigs will go out to find food by themselves at night, for sure. It can gain a lot of weight, but if you want it to grow fat, you must feed them chaff, so that they can grow fat.

"Father, we don't need to pay for the chaff. You go to Uncle Luo and ask him to buy the chaff. He should also give us the corn for the pigs. If we pay the money, then the money for selling the pigs is not worth it." We have been divided according to work points, and at least half of them should belong to us."

Bai Lu nodded and said, "That's right, there's no reason for us to pay."

Su Jianmin thought about it and found it reasonable.

"Okay, I'll go to Captain Luo later and ask him to buy chaff."

"What about the two extra pigs?" After Su Wennian asked, he guessed, "I guess this pig may have been lost by other production teams. It ran from the mountain to our house with these task pigs from our village last night. coming."

Jin Bao hurriedly clapped his little hands, "Ah! What the third brother said is very likely! Although I only controlled the twenty pigs, let them go up the mountain to eat wild vegetables at night, and run back to the pigsty by myself before dawn, but it is very difficult. It may have affected other pigs in the vicinity."

"Since it is a pig lost by other production teams, it must be returned."

After Su Jianmin finished speaking, a troubled expression appeared on his face, "But how can I tell Captain Luo?"

"Let's just say that I found two more pigs in the pigsty early in the morning. I don't know how they got in. As for the fact that they went out to graze on the mountain by themselves last night, although it is rare that there are more pigs A bit, but not entirely impossible."

Feeling that there is nothing wrong with what the girl said, Su Jianmin nodded, "Okay, then I will say so."

After breakfast, he ran to the production team, found Luo Youlong, and mentioned the need for bran and corn to raise pigs.

"Captain Luo, you also said before that if a pig wants to be fat, it must eat pig grass mixed with wheat bran. Whether it is wheat bran or rice bran, it costs money to buy, although the price of a catty is not expensive, However, the amount of pig food is large, and I don't know how many catties I will eat for three months.

These few thousand catties of rice bran and corn are not small money, this money cannot be paid by my family, right? "

"Of course, this pig is the task of our production team..."

Speaking of this, Luo Youlong looked a little embarrassed, "However, the production team really has no money recently. The money I set aside is for buying rice seeds. I really don't have money to buy rice bran to feed pigs."

"Then this..."

"If not, you can put the money for the feed first, okay? When the pigs are handed over at the end of the year, the money will be distributed, and I will pay you back." Luo Youlong said as he found a stack of subsidized feed tickets for live pigs.

He handed the ticket to Su Jianmin, "Use this ticket to buy feed at the grain station, and you can get a discount of [-] cents per catty."

Su Jianmin did not accept the ticket immediately, but said: "I have to go home and discuss the matter of advancing the money. After all, it is a large sum of money. If the pigs raised are not up to standard and cannot be sold, the money will be wasted." gone."
