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

Chapter 54 Chapter 54
There was no episode in buying the piglets. The person is an acquaintance of the uncle and has a good relationship with the aunt's family. The piglets are sold by weight, and today I deliberately did not feed the pigs.

According to what the uncle said, when selling small piglets, they are usually sold when they are full, while if they sell big fat piglets, they are sold on an empty stomach after being hungry in advance. This is a general consensus.

It can be said that the host's family deliberately did not feed them today, and waited for them to buy piglets, which really gave a lot of face.

Li Yongkang told them about this in advance, and they knew it, so they didn't say much when they bought it, and they weighed it and paid for it, and they didn't even bargain at all.

Two little piglets, one weighs 22 catties and the other weighs 23 catties, are both just full moon, and cost twelve cents a catty, a total of more than 500 cents.

There are eight or nine piglets in this litter, and five or six if there are fewer, and they can be sold for two or three taels of silver.

On the way back, Lin He settled the accounts silently in his heart, and finally said with emotion: "It's still very profitable to raise sows. They have two litters a year, which is more profitable than farming."

Sure enough, farming is still very necessary, and it is definitely more cost-effective than planting crops with one mind!
The two piglets were packed in bamboo baskets and placed in the bullock cart. Liu Yongkang and Lin He were the same as when they came. One sat in the cart with the piglets, and the other sat beside Li Changhui.

Hearing Lin He's emotion, Li Yongkang shook his head.

"It's not that easy, it takes skill to serve a sow, and it takes a special person to take care of it, especially when the piglets are born, and you can't do without people for twelve hours, otherwise, if you are not careful, the little pig The pig was crushed to death by the sow."

Lin He was surprised: "The piglet will be crushed to death by the sow?"

Li Yongkang said with a chuckle: "That's right. They were crushed to death by sows, drowned in the latrine, and the weather was too cold to die. There were a lot of them, especially in the first few days when the piglets were born. Just stand by the pigsty."

Lin He clicked his tongue, this is really not easy, he deserves to make money, at least the crops don't have to be guarded day and night.

"By the way, remember what Lao Zhang told you just now? Take it home today and don't feed it. Feed some warm water. Feed it tomorrow. It must be cooked. Feed less at first, dilute it, and then increase it slowly. .”

Both Lin He and Li Changhui listened carefully. The host had already said it just now, and now the uncle reminded him again, so he didn't feel bored.

In addition to these, there are also precautions for raising pigs in the future, which grasses in the fields and mountains can be fed to pigs, etc., which are also very detailed. After all, my uncle's family has also raised pigs for decades and has rich experience.

Li Yongkang had a lot of fun talking once, but when he finished speaking, he realized that he was going back to the village soon, and he felt a little embarrassed for a while.

"Ahem, don't think that uncle talks too much. The main reason is that you two are young, and you can't count on your parents. Changhui hasn't worked at home for many years. I'm afraid you don't understand a lot of things."

Lin He shook his head quickly: "Uncle, I think too much, and I still want to thank you for talking about this, otherwise we will not know what to do when we encounter these situations."

She really has no experience in raising pigs, and all she has is the memory in the original owner's mind, why pigs are prone to heatstroke in summer and colds in winter, what should I do if I have diarrhea, and pigs can also cough?
Well, Lin He said, this is the first time I heard of it, but my uncle told them various solutions.

Although Li Changhui didn't speak, he was listening very carefully. This is also the main reason why Li Yongkang accidentally talked too much.

Li Yongkang was also very satisfied to see that both of them were so humbly asking for advice.

"Changsheng and Xiuling love to find you. I will ask them to visit your house more in the future. If you don't understand, you can ask them."

Li Yongkang doesn't know the specific situation of Lin He, but Li Changhui has been in the military camp for ten years, even if he was a good farmer before, he probably has forgotten all about it now.

It is precisely because Li Changhui has been in the military camp that most people in the village presumed that Lin He was also brought back from the border by Li Changhui.

So even Lin He can't do it.

Lin He naturally agreed again and again. She is in Xiang'an Village, and the two people she is most familiar with are Li Changsheng and Xiuling.

Moreover, they are about the same age, and they get along more naturally, unlike many older people in the village who are familiar with Lin He, who either talk about her in-laws or hint at her being a stepmother.

Although they are all harmless gossip, but always listening to them, in the end, it still makes me unhappy and affects my mood in vain.

As for Li Changhui, except for Li Changsheng who is warm with him, let's forget about the others. Although they don't avoid him when they see him like before, they just try not to look for Li Changhui if they have nothing to do.

Back in the village, Li Yongkang was sent home first, and then the three children were picked up to go home together. Lin He hugged Li An, Li Yu and Li Hao squatted in the back of the bullock cart, happily looking at the two children in the bamboo basket. little piggy.

Lin He squinted his eyes to see the excitement of the two sons, and suddenly said: "Yuer Haoer, it won't be so fun in the future. From now on, we will hunt pigweed every day and feed chickens and rabbits, you know?"

Li Changhui, who had just parked the ox cart, glanced at Lin He with an unchanged expression. That's not what the little cook said before. She said that she would feed the pigs and chickens by herself.

Lin He just happened to look up as if feeling something in his heart.

As if guessing what Li Changhui was thinking, his eyes dodged for a moment, and then he looked directly at Li Changhui again.

"The two children are not young anymore, and other people's houses also shoot pigweed every day. Besides, it's not like I don't work."

Before Li Changhui said anything, Li Yu quickly expressed his loyalty: "Mother, let Hao'er take care of the child in the future, and I will hunt pigweed with you!"

It's not that he didn't follow his father to work in the field.

Lin He nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, I'm not too young anymore, I can help my parents with housework."

Li Changhui just smiled, and picked up the bamboo basket, ready to put it in the pigsty first.

The pigsty had already been cleaned up in advance, and even the pig trough was cleaned very clean. Thinking of what his uncle said, Lin He quickly handed Li An to Li Yu, and followed with a bundle of straw.

"It's still a bit cold at night during this time, this little pig has just reached the full moon, so don't freeze."

Lin He was not particularly worried about the precautions that the uncle said. When she first caught the piglet, she secretly sent some spiritual power to it.

After that, as long as there is a period of time, to send a little spiritual power, to strengthen the body and so on, there is no problem at all.

Maybe it can grow better.

According to Lin He's own observation, the crops in the field are better than before.

However, Lin He couldn't be sure whether it was due to the spiritual power or the reason after watering it.

The two put the piglet in the pigsty, and boiled hot water to feed it. It was getting late and we could make lunch.
