Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 70

Perhaps the original intention of letting the commune members raise pigs was good, but it was a pity that they misunderstood it when they came to the village.

Wang Manyin doesn't know about other places, but on the Loess Plateau, when it comes to raising pigs, almost every household is worried.

There are tasks every year, and they are assigned to the production team. The basic standard is to sell one pig for every two households.There will be rewards for the completion of the work, and if the work is not completed, the rations of the farmers will be deducted.

People who don't know how to raise pigs think that this thing can just eat pig grass... There are weeds everywhere in the countryside, just cut and feed them, and a big fat pig will be raised by the end of the year.

How is it possible in reality, if you just feed pigweed, you won't gain weight at all.

Feeding it for two or three years may not be enough to sell.

If you feed food... when it's green and yellow.There is not enough food for people, let alone feed pigs.

More importantly, the price of live pigs has been fixed.

The best special-grade pigs cost more than 80 cents a catty, and third-grade pigs cost [-] cents... A pig usually sells for more than [-] to [-] yuan.

If you want to fatten a pig enough to weigh it, you need at least a hundred catties of grain.

During the period, if the pigs get sick, they need to find a veterinarian, which is a big expense.

Cornmeal and sorghum noodles in the black market can be sold for more than 50 cents per catty, and [-] yuan per [-] catties... If this is used to feed pigs, it means that farmers have worked hard to raise pigs for a year without earning a penny.

The only advantage is probably a lot of pig manure.

Of course, no farmer is willing to feed pigs with coarse grains every day.Generally, it is to wash the pot with water, bran, and then get some sweet potato and yangzhu grass.

This is still a good situation!
If the live pigs die due to plague or other diseases, the farmers' hard work for a year will be in vain.

So these years, the villagers of Guanzi Village are very resistant to raising pigs.The mobilization meeting in the village was so loud that it received very little response.

Because of this, Zhao Jianhai came to the second team to urge the task.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, he said helplessly: "The cadres are the leading geese, so how about it...the cadres of the production team must take the lead, and each person promises a pig."

As soon as he finished speaking, the honest man Wang Lianshun immediately choked: "I don't have the ability to take the lead, Director Zhao, there are so many benefits to raising pigs, so I might as well transfer my quota to you."

"That's right, Director Zhao, why don't you start a pig farm and take over the tasks of our second team." Wang Yanqiang interjected.

He is the captain of the militia in the village and a member of the second team, so he naturally doesn't want to raise pigs.

Wang Manyin had already planned to go to the market to buy a piglet to raise in the first month, but he didn't say anything at the moment, preferring to watch Zhao Jianhai make a fool of himself.

It was the pig raised in his own space, which could keep up with the feeding.Like an inflated balloon, it inflates like crazy.It has been more than a month, and now it is almost 60 catties.

At this rate, they will be able to kill and eat in two or three months at most.

There is another problem... Not long ago, Wang Manyin heard from the villagers that raising pigs regardless of male and female must be banned, otherwise the meat will be noisy to eat.

But he clearly remembered that in later generations he heard from friends who raise pigs that sows do not need to be fanned.

Wang Manyin didn't know who was right, but the sows in the space had no way to find a veterinarian, so they could only be raised in a daze for the time being.

Seeing that his proposal was opposed one after another, Zhao Jianhai finally became ashamed and annoyed.

But he didn't dare to contradict Wang Yanqiang, and only said to Wang Lianshun: "Second captain, what do you mean, 'there are no poorly raised pigs, only poorly raised people', I think there is something wrong with your position."

"Okay, I have a problem, just wipe me off. I'm not willing to be the production team leader and suffer every day." Wang Lianshun took the smoking pot and banged it loudly on the ground.

He has a good temper and usually tries to keep his bowl of water level.But being a production leader for several years, it still hasn't turned out well.From time to time, members of the commune came to my door and clamored for a raise in wages.

Other production teams basically change their captains every year.

The second team is in a bad way, and there are people arguing, but no one is willing to raise their heads.

Wang Lianshun originally wanted to resign, but finally found an opportunity.

In a word, Director Zhao was dumbfounded.

It was Wang Fugui who gave him a hand: "Uncle Lian Shun, what are you doing? You resign all the time. Our second team trusts you. Let's do it, the production leader."

"There's something wrong, I'll leave it here. If any of you are willing to raise your hand, I'll step down immediately." Wang Lianshun replied angrily.

"Okay, Brother Lian Shun, let's have a meeting to discuss things, and continue to discuss the issue of raising pigs. I have a suggestion, Director Zhao, see if it works. If any family raises pigs, they can use a few more points as pig feed Anyway, the second team has a lot of wasteland." Wang Yanqiang expressed his thoughts.

Hearing this, all the members had hope in their eyes.

In Gelao, a ditch outside Guanzi Village, there are also many fragments of wasteland.It's just that the area is too small, most of which are divided into two parts.The production team had no way to organize manual farming, and did not allow private planting, so it was abandoned.If these plots are allocated to members, they can collect a lot of grain.

"No, this is a mistake, you can't do this." Zhao Jianhai shook his head resolutely.

"Then what do you think we should do? Let's all keep our mouths shut and feed the pigs hungry, one acre of land?" Wang Fugui sarcastically said.

Wang Manyin could see that Zhao Jianhai was really unpopular in Guanzi Village.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

None of the cadres of the production team spoke to him.

In fact, it is also understandable... The other cadres are all villagers of Guanzi Village, and they are fellow villagers, so they naturally have to consider the village.

On the other hand, Zhao Jianhai has nothing to do except like to sing high-profile things. He has never solved problems for the village.

"This is a task, and your second team must complete it without compromise. Since one acre of land can't reach one pig, then according to the minimum standard, two households will be divided into one head, and the members of the commune are free to combine. Make a decision tonight. Whoever dares to refuse, I will Hold a meeting in the village to roll the roll. If not, report to the commune..."

Zhao Jianhai spoke harshly.

Before the meeting tonight, he thought he had done a lot of preparatory work, and even brought a newspaper to tell everyone about the great situation.

Originally, I wanted the second team to report a few more pigs to add some highlights to my work. Then maybe I would be evaluated as an advanced production team in the commune.

I didn't expect that if I touched my nose, people would not urinate in his pot at all.

Zhao Jianhai simply decided not to discuss it anymore, and directly used his identity to suppress people.

Sure enough, after hearing what the other party said, the members of the second team fell silent.

"Wang Lianshun, you are the captain of the second team. Which one will you marry to raise a pig?" Zhao Jianhai called directly.

"Let's go home with my elder brother." Wang Lianshun replied helplessly.

He was able to serve as the production captain of the second team not only because of his good temper, but also because of his three brothers.

"Wang Fugui and you..."

Zhao Jianhai called the names one by one.

When it was Wang Manyin's turn, he discussed with Wang Qiusheng.There is a quota for each of the two families, but they are raised by their own family.

For this, Wang Qiusheng was naturally grateful.

Zhao Jianhai also knew that what he did would not be appreciated by the villagers, so he got up and left in a hurry after arranging the tasks.

Waiting for the other party to leave, Wang Yanqiang curled his lips: "On this level, even Sun Yuting from Shuangshui Village is inferior. He also knows how to solve problems by grabbing paper eggs."

In words, quite disdainful.

But that's all he can say.

But mentioning Sun Yuting, the younger brother of Wang Manyin's father-in-law, many villagers laughed.

The task of raising pigs in Shuangshui Village was also difficult to complete, so Sun Yuting came up with a "smart trick" and asked each household to send one person to catch paper eggs, and whoever caught them would raise pigs.

Sun Yuting's ideas are very bad, and he can "catch" a pig almost every year, and when he goes back, he is scolded bloody by his mother-in-law.

This matter has been spread, and all villages in ten miles and eight villages know about it.

But what Wang Yanqiang said was right, Zhao Jianhai's level is really not good.Even if the members are asked to grab the paper eggs, it is much better than forcing the apportionment.

At least pay attention to luck, so that the members have something to look forward to.

"The meeting is over, the meeting is over, what's the use of talking about this now." Wang Lianshun didn't talk nonsense, and waved everyone to leave.

When he got home, Wang Manyin told his daughter-in-law about raising pigs.

Lan Hua didn't object, just nodded and said: "Well, Man Yin, don't worry, our pigs will be handed over to me in the future, I will kill pigweed every day!"

After a few gossips, the couple turned off the lights and went to sleep.

As a result, Wang Manyin was still waking up in the morning when he heard urgent shouts from outside.

"Brother Wang, have you gotten up yet? Come out quickly, something serious happened in the village."

It was Liu Xiangyang's voice.
