Chapter 139 Pig Farming 2
Boss Ning discussed with his family to take out 500 yuan from his savings and lend it to Li Dachuan as a share.
Originally, Li Dachuan was unwilling to accept such great help from the Ning family. The Ning family had already helped them a lot, and he felt embarrassed to cause more trouble.
However, when he heard Boss Ning say that they could raise pigs together, with the Ning family providing the money and he providing the labor, he agreed.
Now is the perfect opportunity. The government encourages that each family can provide two piglets. Together with the two piglets from the Ning family, we can raise four. If you want to raise more, you have to spend money to buy them.
However, few people are willing to raise pigs. On the one hand, they have no experience and the pigs are often prone to illness. On the other hand, raising pigs is different from raising chickens and ducks. It requires a pigsty, otherwise the pigs will easily get sick.
It is true that you can adopt piglets, but you have to return them after a year. You either return the piglets or pay them back with money. So Baoshan Village distributed a total of ten piglets, but no one was willing to adopt them.
After all, the effort involved in raising pigs is not proportional to the reward. First of all, you have to build a pigpen, which requires a lot of money. If the piglets get sick, you will lose a lot of money.
Now with the 500 yuan support from the Ning family, Li Dachuan is confident that he can get all ten piglets in the village. Although each family can only adopt two piglets, the rest can be bought with money.
But all this requires building the pigpen first.
Li Dachuan thought that now that he had money, he should be fully equipped. So Li Dachuan thought of using blue bricks to build the pigpen. You know, a large part of the village is still made of adobe houses. Using blue bricks to build houses for pigs is the first thing in Baoshan Village.
However, since learning that Li Dachuan wanted to raise all ten piglets in the village, the village chief Li Jianshe was worried about this matter. When he heard Li Dachuan's idea, he quickly called on the villagers to help build a pigpen.
Most of the people in Baoshan Village went to help. There was no mention of wages at the moment. Everyone in the village was helping, but at the same time, Li Dachuan needed to treat these people to a meal.
However, Li Dachuan's family didn't have much. They only had the wild boar meat that the Ning family had distributed to them years ago. He made it into bacon and kept it until now. The most common things were sweet potatoes and potatoes. There wasn't much flour, only about two or three pounds. Li Dachuan took it all out, but it wasn't much.
Xiaocao came to help cook. A chef is a chef. Xiaocao first boiled a large pot of sweet potatoes, then peeled the sweet potatoes, added the two pounds of flour that Li Dachuan brought out, and then kneaded the dough to make sweet potato cakes, which was considered the staple food.
The dish was stewed potatoes with bacon, which is a hard dish. I also made a big pot of egg soup. It looked like there were a lot of eggs, but in fact, only six eggs were used in this big pot.
Although there are not many types, there are enough.
Sweet potato cakes have the sweet fragrance of sweet potatoes and the delicate texture of flour, perfectly blended together.
The bacon and potatoes were stewed with a lot of meat, and the potatoes tasted of meat. The villagers ate very well. By the afternoon, their enthusiasm was high and the speed of building the pigpen increased. By the evening, a pigpen with three warm nests was completed. It was made of blue bricks and looked very impressive.
It’s more magnificent than Li Dachuan’s house.
All that's missing is the wicker fence. Once it's finished tomorrow, the pigpen will be a success.
Village chief Li Jianshe was very pleased with the mutual help among the villagers. When he saw that Li Dachuan's pigpen was built, he immediately brought people to deliver ten piglets in the village to Li Dachuan. He also brought woven wicker fences and dry straw. As long as they were laid, the house would be considered complete.
