Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 200 Chapter 200

Li Changwen is a pig butcher. The most suitable job is butcher selling meat, collecting big fat pigs from farms everywhere, and then slaughtering and selling them in the town.

Apart from this, there seems to be nothing else suitable for a butcher.

However, after Jiang Lanying heard this, she frowned, a little embarrassed: "This method, the boss has done it before, but..."

"Just what happened?"

Lin He was a little curious, since he thought about it, why didn't he continue?
Jiang Lanying sighed, guessing that Lin He probably didn't know the way, and explained: "Xiaohe, you don't know, in our area, several butchers are united."

Lin He blinked, thought for a while, and understood.

"Auntie, what do you mean to say, when the eldest brother wanted to do this before, he was squeezed out by other people?"

Jiang Lanying sighed softly: "That's right, if there is one more person, the others will make less money. Who would like that?"

Lin He was slightly surprised: "Uncle is also a village head after all, what can I do?"

Jiang Lanying waved her hand: "Your uncle can speak a few words in our village, but it doesn't work outside."

"Before, your uncle specially invited those few people to eat and drink, and they only agreed on the surface, but in fact, they should do whatever they want."

Lin He understood: "That's right. The butcher who sells meat is also a businessman. It is related to the interests of others. Naturally, there is a circle of businessmen."

This is not a good time, and there is really no chance to squeeze in and get a foot in the door.

No wonder I heard that there are many people who can butcher pigs, but there are only two or three butchers in the town.

The eldest aunt nodded: "That's not it, that's why I wanted to ask Xiaohe, if you have any ideas, can you give me some pointers."

During the Chinese New Year in the village, they would ask the boss to help butcher the pigs, and they could make some money, but that was only pocket money, and it was still far from enough to make the family's life better.

At least, compared with the current situation of the third and youngest, it is far from enough.

In the past, the three sons were all about the same, so everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.

Now the third and youngest are busy, and although they haven't officially started working, it's a certainty.

The boss is still the same as before, although the boss's daughter-in-law didn't say anything, she inevitably muttered a few words, and she, the mother, heard it, so she could only come and ask.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the aunt, Lin He thought for a while: "It's not completely helpless."

Jiang Lanying's eyes lit up immediately, and she waited earnestly for Lin He to finish speaking.

"Auntie, I remember the last time when we were dealing with wild boars at home, the sister-in-law of the hall said that the villagers usually ask the elder brother to kill pigs before the New Year, right?"

Jiang Lanying nodded again and again: "Yes, there were so many people slaughtering pigs at that time, those pork dealers were too busy, and some people sold fat pigs to your hall brother before, but when they sold small pigs, the price was deliberately raised. "

There is only one family in their village who raises sows, and the sows also need to be bred by boars. These resources are all in the hands of those pork dealers.

There is also buying piglets. It seems that you can buy them in other villages, but those who sell piglets also sell fat pigs. Those pork dealers can choke others to sell piglets. The lifeblood of the pig.

In this way, Li Changwen really can't make money from this aspect except for helping kill pigs to make some money during the Chinese New Year.

"That's it," Lin He said he knew: "Auntie, have you ever thought that you can actually raise a few more pigs? I remember that sweet potato vines can be dried and stored, right? Or fermented with distiller's yeast."

This is a method that the original owner has in his memory, and the original owner has done these things himself.

"The pigs eat more and pull more, and the manure is used to irrigate the crops, so they grow well; grow more sweet potatoes in the field, and they will not be so busy and tiring at ordinary times."

"Otherwise, it's okay to raise rabbits. Pheasants reproduce slowly, and chickens are relatively thin, but rabbits grow fast. After half a year, rabbits will have a litter a month. They don't eat as much as pigs, and they grow quite fast. "

It may not be as profitable as directly raising a few more pigs, but it is also much easier than raising pigs.

After all, these days, there is no such thing as feed. They eat all kinds of weeds. No matter what they raise, they will grow slowly, but it will be much more convenient to raise rabbits.

Jiang Lanying listened carefully, and when Lin He finished speaking, she hesitated and said, "Xiaohe, in fact, I wanted to tell you before, chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, it is not good to raise too many."

Lin He didn't expect his aunt to say such a thing, and he was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lanying paused for a while, as if she had just figured out how to explain.

"It's just that if there are too many of these things, if one gets sick, the others will be infected. Someone has raised them before. Those who are lucky are naturally fine, but there are not a few of them who died."

"Especially in summer, many pigs and chickens are raised, and if they raise too many, they may not be able to earn back their capital in the end."

Lin He thought for a while before he understood what the auntie meant.

"Auntie, what do you mean to say, you are worried that they will be sick and contagious, and there is no way to treat them?"

Jiang Lanying nodded: "Yeah, don't raise too many pigs, raise a few less pigs, and grow more crops. This is better, at least not at a loss."

Lin He understood a little, and said with a smile, "Auntie, I know what you're worried about, but I think that as long as you clean the pig pens and chicken pens on time every day, and keep them clean, the problem shouldn't be a big deal."

What my aunt said should be true. If the livestock are raised too densely, they are prone to infectious diseases, especially swine fever and chicken fever, and a large number of them die.

But Lin He had already considered it before. She really wanted to start farming, but she didn't say that she had to raise a lot.

Moreover, she has spiritual power, which can improve the physical fitness of livestock, that is, immunity, etc.

Coupled with frequent cleaning, don't let the feces accumulate in the pig pen and chicken pen for too long. Generally speaking, there should be no problem.

But other people don't have her ability, and now there are few veterinarians who say that there is no special treatment and defense for various diseases of livestock, of course.

In this way, it is indeed more risky for other people to expand farming.

Thinking of this, Lin He said: "Auntie, why don't you ask the lobby sister-in-law to raise a few rabbits first, and raise a few less. It's not a big problem. It's not hard, and it can also subsidize the family."

"Besides, our family plans to keep sows for breeding pigs. In the future, the family will sell fat pigs, and let the big brother take them and sell them, so that other people can't stop them."

There are now seven and a half pigs in the family, and five of them are wild boars. We can't keep them all for ourselves, right?

And she had discussed with Li Changhui that the wild boars would keep one male and one female, and after the pigpen in the town was built, they would buy a male and a female and two domestic piglets.

In the future, their family will specialize in breeding wild boars and domestic pigs!
