Chapter 91 The problem of raising pigs

As for Ding Erni, a child who plays truant. Yes, she is no longer tired of studying, but has evolved into playing truant.However, schools in this era are not strictly controlled, and many families are in difficulty, especially girls. It is impossible to have more than ten girls in a class of forty or fifty children.

Therefore, Erni often does not go to class, and Ding Yu used to go to school to ask for leave from the teacher. Later, when she was in the second grade, the teacher simply ignored her. As long as she took the final exam, the tuition fee would be paid as usual.

In addition, at this time, the teachers in the school don't dare to control the students severely, so Ding Yu doesn't care about her, as long as her grades are not too ugly, it will be fine if she can be admitted to the university when she recovers.

Ever since Chen Shenzhong came up with a prescription to poison the roosters, although the prescription was used after killing several roosters and experimenting with the proper dosage.The final result is not that there is no sound at all, and the hoarse ones can still be called out, but the sound is quieter, and they don't call all the time. This year, they raised a few roosters.

However, the valley is not completely safe. There are weasels stealing chickens from time to time, and there are also snakes. Not only spraying medicine but also sulfur can't be eradicated.

"I specially reserved two steamed buns for Aunt Fang to try tomorrow. Pork is more delicious than chicken and rabbit meat."

The climate in the valley is warm in winter and cool in summer. In the past two years, Fang's originally emaciated body has recovered a lot. The expression, the gloomy boss is all cheerful, and has the appearance of a child.

Hearing that Ding Yu was specially reserved for his mother, he pursed his mouth, his eyes flashed, and nodded reservedly.

Ding Yu looked funny to him, although the child has been going in and out with them for the past two years, eating and working together, but Ding Yu can see that he is just grateful to them all the time, rushing to do all kinds of work, Erni sometimes made things difficult for him deliberately, and he quietly gave way, but it always felt like there was a layer of separation.

It wasn't until last year that the chickens, rabbits, and pigs raised in the valley started to make a lot of money, and there were returns visible to the naked eye. They both saved a lot of money on Dingyu's side and Fang's side. Only then did he feel relieved, as if After unloading the burden on his body, he started to argue with Er Ni, and secretly tripped Er Ni to a disadvantage, only to find out that this child has been holding his breath!
Sometimes Ding Yu can't help but compare, the boss was so smart when she was seven or eight years old, what was she doing when she was seven or eight years old?
It seems like following a group of children in the nearby community to play hide-and-seek and play sandbags after school all day long, and then go home dirty and be scolded by her mother. It can't be compared. When I compare it, I feel like I was a fool when I was young!
Turning around, I saw Ernie who was making unlined clothes for Sanni, she couldn't even compare to Erni!

The next day, everyone went to the valley except my uncle who went to work. Before reaching the valley, they met Uncle Meng on the way.He was marking the way up the middle hill with their heads in the hot spring cave.

Turning to this side, Ding Yu greeted and said, "Uncle Meng, it's early, this place hasn't fully melted yet, isn't it early?"

For the past two years, they have only farmed in the valley. Although the grain they grow is not enough, because they feed too much poultry, they are busy cooking pig food or digging wild vegetables every day. In autumn, they have to mow grass and dry it for storage The grass that needs to be fed throughout the winter can be said to have no free time.The long-planned plan to find a place to grow some food has also been stranded.

But this year they plan to raise more chickens and rabbits, and the food is even more urgent. They didn’t know that the dingyu had room to bring in the food from the outside, so they carried empty baskets from the outside, and only put the food in when they entered the valley. The fish went back to the mountain again and again, and they all unanimously decided to open up more land to grow food.

"Well, let's not open up the land first, find stones, and surround this side. Although the water from the hot springs flows here, it is smelly, but if it is planted with food, it will definitely not be able to stop these beasts in the mountains. It’s the birds in the sky that spoil a lot of food every year, hey, I can’t find a good place like the valley!”

Today's yield per mu is either several thousand catties per mu of land with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and hormones, or six to seven catties at most for the best fertile land dedicated to white-fleshed sweet potatoes, not to mention the thin land that has just been cultivated in the mountains.

They don't have the scourge of wild boars and rabbits in the valley, and they rarely attract birds and birds, and they can only harvest three or four hundred catties per acre of land.From this, I think that in ancient times, even if there were land species, people would still be hungry. Whenever there was a natural disaster, there would be refugees everywhere.It is purely that the yield per mu is too pitiful, so it is better to be in a modern society. Although the food is raised from chemical fertilizers and hormones, you don't have to worry about starving.

Think of rabbit steak, wild boar arch. Come on, let's put a fence before planting!

Cracking stones and building walls every day, and more and more chickens and rabbits in the valley need to cook and dig wild vegetables to feed. Unknowingly, I walked in the footsteps of the non-stop busy Zhongchun.

This year, Chen Shenzhong and Erni are both eight years old. At this age, they have to go to work in the fields when they reach Chunzhong.Erni goes to school, and the village's requirements are not strict. When Dingyu's side is not busy with farming, her brother-in-law takes over, so that Dingyu has more time to run in and out of the mountains.

When Chen Shenzhong grows up, he has to participate from the beginning to the end, and he usually has to go to work. Therefore, when they plant all the land this year, it will soon enter the summer.

As soon as summer comes, the smell in the valley becomes less pleasant as more and more chickens are raised.Although they are diligent in cleaning, there are more than 1000 chickens, three to four hundred rabbits, and five pigs in such a small space.

"It's not the way to go on like this? Otherwise, we won't raise pigs next year!"

The sun was so bright outside that the people couldn't stand it. After lunch, all the people gathered in the second house to rest.Dingyu suggested, smelling the bad smell in the air.

Over time, for the sake of convenience, they used the house in the front to live in, and then the second house in the back was cleaned up and they cooked and ate here when it was warmer, so as not to make the sleeping place too hot and crowded. .

"No, if you don't raise pigs, it will be inconvenient to eat pork at the end of the year. At least you have to raise two pigs and save them for meat." Fang was the first to object.

In the past two years, they have raised pigs by themselves, sometimes with seven or eight pigs. They have to kill two or three pigs for meat in a year, and they can kill the meat and leave pig internal organs and pig feet to sell on the black market. Exchange money and daily necessities.

It can be said that it is precisely because they have raised pigs that they have no shortage of meat to eat. If they do not raise pigs, they can only rely on buying from outside.First, they don't have meat tickets, and second, they may not be able to get meat if they have meat tickets.Therefore, Fang felt that he still had to raise two of them to eat meat.
