Reborn Ji Shao's Farming Wife

Chapter 10 Piggy
"What's wrong with Aunt Hongying's house?" Yu Zhen was curious at the side, it's always been human nature to like to listen to gossip, regardless of gender.

"This matter, I have to talk about it since you were a child. That year, Uncle Bo Geng became obsessed with gambling, as if in a daze. Behind your Aunt Hongying's back, the family's savings over the years and the money from renovating the old house at home I put it all in, and I was afraid that your aunt would be angry afterwards, so I left the whole family behind and went to work outside, and said that I would come back when I saved enough money." Father Yu said beside him, knowing quite a lot.

"Then what happened later? Isn't my Uncle Bo Geng at home, and he brought fertilizer to our family in the morning." Yu Zhen asked curiously, motioning for Yu's father to continue.

"Later, later on, your Aunt Hongying was also stubborn. She looked honest, but she ran away with the bank loan without telling anyone, and bought the house by herself, taking care of the elderly and children and looking for work everywhere. , just survived.

Your Uncle Bo Geng didn’t earn any money when he came back from outside, and your Aunt Hongying paid back the loan bit by bit. It’s not because her family is looking for a partner, but she’s willing to work hard to listen to her. It is said that she went to the brick factory to carry bricks with others during the slack season, earning no less than a man in charge of the family. "Father Yu didn't mean to be joking afterwards, he really admired this man.

"If you want to put it this way, Aunt Hongying is really capable, so why don't you ask me when you have time? The monthly salary is only [-] yuan, and it is not too heavy for two people to work together. The pigs you buy later If you have more children, give them a salary increase, you see if it’s okay.” Yu Zhen also set the price according to the local salary level, which is not bad.

"Okay, I'll ask after dinner, everyone should be willing to come." Mother Yu responded readily.

"If you want me to say, why do you need someone else to do it? It's not that your mother and I can't do this job, and it costs that much money." Father Yu mentioned it again, saying that it would not be troublesome to cook a pig.

"I can't let you go. It's better when it's cooler now. When it's hot, it's the smelly one. Let you suffer this. My brother won't let me go." Yu Zhen firmly disagreed, and made a mountain by himself. Not to embarrass parents.

In the evening, Yu Zhen went out with Yu Mu, but the road was different. Yu Zhen wanted to go to the village chief’s house. He made an appointment with the village chief’s aunt to see the piglets tomorrow. After discussing the time, he didn’t stay any longer. Mother Yu came in.

"Why did you come back so soon, what did you say?" Yu Zhen asked, thinking that it would be a failure to come back so soon after going to two families.

"Okay, I'll come over to help you after you buy the piglets." Yu Mu said calmly, and she was not very happy to see it.

"What's the matter? You don't feel well." Yu Zhen asked a little worried. He was fine when he went out, why did he become like this after going out for a while.

"I'm fine. Do you still have people on that mountain? What can you, Uncle Bo Geng do?" Mother Yu suddenly cheered up and raised her head to ask Yu Zhen.

"Tell me what's going on first, why did you go out and come back and become a different person." Yu Zhen knew it well, it should be the old lady's heart was soft, and she couldn't bear to see something.

"It's not that I went to your aunt Hongying's house just now. You didn't see that the food I ate that night was not oily, and the house didn't even have a decent piece of furniture. Uncle Bogeng loves your aunt about feeding the pigs. Thinking about coming for her, your aunt disagrees, and insists on doing it by yourself, your aunt is afraid that you, Uncle Bo Geng, will make people laugh, and you will look for a partner in the future, afraid that people will mind." Yu's mother sighed there.

"There is definitely a need to recruit people on the mountain. If you don't want to raise pigs, you can do other things. You will be fertilizing and planting seeds. If Uncle Bo Geng is willing to come, you will pay [-] for the first month, and the price will increase when you live more in the future. , Lafayette, do you think this is okay?" Yu Zhen made Yu Mu laugh.

"Spoof, I'll tell you Uncle Bo Geng to go." Mother Yu got up and walked out as she spoke.

Yu Zhen hurriedly pulled the old lady back, "Mom, we can go tomorrow, it's not too late, don't you see what time it is, my dad is about to wake up, you should go to rest soon let's go."

"That's right, look at my brain, then go to bed quickly, I'll go there tomorrow, go to sleep." Yu's mother said.

The next day, Yu Zhen followed the village head's daughter-in-law, Qiao Juan, to her natal Sanli Village to buy piglets. Yu Zhen planned to pick sixteen piglets first, twelve male pigs and four sows, and three male pigs in one pen. One sow, the boars are kept for meat, one sow can give birth to piglets for many years, and one litter can have several pigs. Yu Zhen does not plan to make the scale too large at the moment, four sows are enough.

Yu Zhen chose this way, not to mention those who sell pigs, Qiao Juan couldn't understand it. When others buy pigs, most of them choose sows and one or two boars for breeding. The cubs can be sold for money. Big pigs and small pigs sell more together, or the girls are too young to understand, so I want to mention a few words, but I am afraid of offending the pig sellers in the same village.

Qiao Juan hesitated to speak there, but Yu Zhen couldn't see it, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what you are worried about, and I know it well." Yu Zhen comforted Qiao Juan.

Now that Yu Zhen knows a lot, Qiao Juan simply ignores it and just watches Yu Zhen bargaining with the pig sellers. The price of sixteen piglets is also different. The price of sows is slightly higher, and the fat and thin pigs It was different, and they had to be weighed separately. Aunt Qiao Juan followed, and the boss gave it a little cheaper. The sixteen piglets cost a total of 8000 yuan, and Yu Zhen's wallet suddenly collapsed again.

When the pig farm sent the piglets there, the cement in the pigpen had already dried out, so Yu Zhen got some straw and laid them in. The temperature is still not high now, so I can’t make these piglets sick. There is a waxy layer on the surface of the straw, which is not easy to decompose, so it cannot be directly used to fertilize the fields. The villagers usually pile the straw on the mountain after the autumn harvest.

These straws are spread in the pigsty, soaked in pig manure and urine for a period of time, and trampled by the pigs inside every day. When they come out of the pigsty, the waxy layer has basically been decomposed. Yes, it is a very good fertilizer after it is fermented for a period of time in the pond from the water to the back.

After finishing the work, Yu Zhen rode an electric tricycle to the town, first went to the processing factory to buy some fur bran left over from grinding corn and wheat, and then went to the vegetable market to buy some leftovers with poor quality. Yu Zhen is not too troublesome, he has eaten enough feed pork, although it is a bit troublesome now, you can eat it later, you can rest assured, thinking that you can eat authentic pork in the future, it is worth the trouble now, send these up the mountain, just Two aunts can come over to help.
