Chapter 271 Looking for a Pig Slaughterer
Ning Xiyue put away the acceptance letter in her hand and looked curiously at the strange man at the door. She didn't know this man and he was not from their team.
The captain put away the big smile on his face, looked over, and saw a familiar face standing outside. He stood up and shouted:
"Hey, Lao Huang, why did you have time to come to my place today? What do you want to talk to me about? By the way, can you exchange the calf born by the cow in your team? Give one to our team."
The middle-aged man at the door walked into the house and agreed to the captain's request: "Sure, find time to drive the cattle. I want to ask you something today."
Ning Xiyue saw that this person wanted to talk to the captain about something, so she tactfully said goodbye: "Captain, I'll be leaving first."
"Girl Yue." Zhang Dawei stopped Ning Xiyue who was walking to the door, "Don't leave yet, go to the next door and wait for me for a while. I will find you after I finish talking here. I also want to talk to you about your brother." "Okay, Captain."
After Ning Xiyue left, the captain looked at Lao Huang in the room, poured him a glass of water, and found a bench for him to sit on.
"Old Huang, tell me what you want to talk to me about."
"The piglets in our team haven't been castrated yet. It's been a month and a half. I'm so worried. If the pigs are not castrated, they won't grow fat. No matter how much they eat, they won't gain meat. The pigs that are handed in at the end of the year will definitely not meet the requirements."
The man surnamed Huang had a sad face and sighed: "
In the past, pigs had to be castrated every 30 days or so. We had agreed on a time for castration with the master pig castrator from the Dahuai team, but who knew that he would fall ill again when the time came. After waiting for half a month, his condition did not improve and became worse. I went to see the master pig castrator and he had trouble walking and was paralyzed on the kang. His family said that the improvement he showed in the past few days was probably a last-ditch recovery and he would only live in the next few days. ”
"Last year, our team hired him because the sows couldn't give birth. He was already sick at that time, but he was still very energetic. How come he has become skin and bones in just a few months?"
Zhang Dawei felt sorry when he heard this. What a good old veterinarian. This master has been a well-known expert since he was a kid in Qinggou. Time flies so fast. The old veterinarian is now over 80 years old. He used to be in good health, so how could he collapse so suddenly?
It really is like the old saying goes, when illness comes it is like a mountain falling.
"I heard that he fell down while getting up at night, which made the situation worse."
The man surnamed Huang sighed, feeling anxious:
"I am worried about his son's pig-castration skills. A while ago, three piglets died two days after he castrated the pigs for the team next to us. They said it was infected. I thought this was not good. Only eight piglets survived in this litter. If they die, we will definitely not have enough pigs to meet the quota after the New Year."
At this point, the middle-aged man looked at Zhang Dawei with hope in his eyes: "I'm looking for you today for this matter. I heard that all the piglets in your team have been castrated, and none of them were damaged. Old Huang, who did your team find to castrate the pigs? Can you recommend someone to me? I'll also go and ask that master to go back."
He also heard about this from the neighboring team. The pigs in the Daliu team gave birth to many pigs and were well raised. They started to gain weight in a few months. The neighboring team had fewer pigs and exchanged a few of them with the Daliu team. The pigs grew stronger and you could tell at a glance that they had been castrated.
So he hurried here today, just to find the master who helped the Daliu team to slaughter the pigs and go back, because their team's pigs can't wait any longer.
Zhang Dawei smiled. This was really a coincidence. He put down the cup in his hand and raised his chin towards the next room.
"You've come to the right place. Look, that's the one who just left. She's the one we go to for all our livestock problems. She's quick, ruthless and accurate when it comes to pig castration. She handles everything without any hassle. She's not much different from the old veterinarian next door."
"Really? Lao Zhang, please stop teasing me. I'm so anxious. How can such a young girl be so good at slaughtering pigs? Tell me who the master is, and I will give the calf to your team at a low price."
He saw how young the girl was. She was even younger than his daughter. She was a pretty girl who was obviously an educated youth who went to the countryside.
The little girl was scared just watching the rough and bloody work of pig castration. How could she do it better than the old veterinarian's son? In her mind, it was impossible.
"Look, Old Huang, you still don't believe it, but this little girl is amazing. She is the barefoot doctor of our team. In just half a year, her prestige in the team is higher than that of me, the captain. Whether it is curing diseases and saving lives or helping livestock, she is absolutely good at it. "
Zhang Dawei was unhappy when he heard this. It was the fact, but he didn't believe it even after he told him. Yue Wazi was such a capable kid who helped him solve many problems. He didn't allow anyone to doubt him and praised Ning Xiyue hard.
"Let me tell you, everyone in the Dahuai team next door knows that this girl can do this. She is smart and eager to learn, and her medical skills are getting better day by day. If you really don't believe me, then I can't help you. You can only figure it out on your own and go to the next commune to find someone to castrate you. But in terms of technology, I think the girl in our team is the best."
Zhang Dawei spoke so eloquently that the man surnamed Huang was still skeptical. However, he was moved by Zhang Dawei's serious expression and his strong praise.
Then he remembered that the pigs of their Daliu team were indeed not damaged at all and were still growing strong. He also heard that the barefoot doctor in their team was quite good at treating illnesses, so he decided to give it a try.
The captain felt relieved when he saw him nod in agreement. He stroked the non-existent beard on his chin with one hand, took a sip of water from the cup with the other hand, and then stood up.
"Wait, I'll call someone for you."
Zhang Dawei felt a great sense of accomplishment. He always felt that he was superior to other captains. It was no exaggeration to say that he was very proud.
I walked slowly to the next room, and saw Ning Xiyue standing by the window with a big smile on her face. I walked over and said, "Yue Wa Zi, you made me proud today. Captain Huang next door was stunned by what I said, and his facial expressions changed several times. I was so happy."
"Huh? Captain, what are you talking about?"
Ning Xiyue asked with a puzzled look on her face. She really didn't understand what the captain was talking about, so how could she have made the captain proud?
When a person stands by the window, fame comes from the sky.
The captain looked very happy, but I didn’t know what had happened to make him proud, or was it because of her?
"The man who just came in is Huang Dacai, the captain of the Darong team. He's here to find a pig butcher. I'll introduce you to him."
Zhang Dawei looked at the door and outside the window, and said to Ning Xiyue in a low voice:
"Didn't you tell your Aunt Yang Liu a few days ago that you wanted to raise three chickens to lay eggs? Their team's sideline is raising chickens. The chickens sold at the non-staple food counter in our town are basically raised by their team. Go to the Chicken Team. I heard that they just hatched a batch of chicks recently. Let's go over and talk about your three chickens."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
After hearing what the captain said, Ning Xiyue had an idea in mind and nodded in response.
Ready-made chicks are more reliable than hatching them herself. She may not be able to hatch the chicks herself, but she can guarantee to raise the hatched chicks.
"Then let's go over there and don't keep Captain Huang waiting for too long."
"It's okay. We can wait for a while. He didn't believe us at first. We are not someone he can easily hire. Let him wait for a while."
The captain snorted arrogantly in the direction of the neighbors, just like an old naughty boy protecting his child.
This was the first time Ning Xiyue met the captain. The relationship was different from when they had a drink together. The captain was now closer to Aunt Yang Liu.
The captain looked at Ning Xiyue again and continued talking.
"Let's talk about your brother first. There are many empty rooms in your Youth Home, and no new Youths are coming. He will also start working here. Tell him to pack up his things and move in in the next two days. He can just register with the brigade after he moves in."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Captain. I'll tell my brother when he comes back." Ning Xiyue said excitedly. This is really great news.
"It's okay. It's only a matter of time." The captain waved his hand nonchalantly. "Let's go over there and have a good chat with Old Huang. Just cooperate with me. I'll take care of your three chickens. It's also a done deal for the team to buy the calf."
"good."
After the captain finished speaking, he walked ahead, and Ning Xiyue followed closely behind him and walked back to the next room they had just left, still looking forward to what would happen next.
