Chapter 40: Selecting Piglets
Some people unloaded the pigs from the truck, some took them, and some carried them to the "temporary pigpen"...
There was a busy scene at the entrance of the village.
On the other side, the brigade cadres were doing registration work.
The women registered the number of piglets they received, signed or pressed their fingerprints, and then left one by one with the piglets in their arms.
Lin Tang looked at Fang Zhitong, whose spirit and energy were different from those of the villagers, nodded slightly, and said with a smile:
"I heard the captain call you Comrade Fang. Comrade Fang, thank you for your hard work today."
The connections of the county transport team are right in front of us.
It would be a waste if I didn’t take a look at it at this moment.
These days, news travels slowly and networks are more important than anything else.
Fang Zhitong didn't expect that this pretty girl would take the initiative to talk to him.
He grinned and straightened his chest.
“No trouble, serve the people!”
Of course Lin Tang knew that the man was just being polite and smiled.
Take the initiative to introduce yourself and make yourself known.
"My name is Lin Tang, and I'm an ordinary member of the Shuangshan Brigade."
"Hello, Comrade Lin! My name is Fang Zhitong, and I'm from the county transport team." Fang Zhitong glanced at her and quickly looked away.
Lin Tang?
This name is quite nice.
It doesn't look like the flowers and grass in the village at all.
The two chatted for a few minutes when they were noticed by Li Xiuli who was not far away.
Li Xiuli's heart skipped a beat, as if facing a great enemy, and she shouted at Lin Tang at the top of her voice.
“…Tangtang…”
Lin Tang heard his mother calling him, and the other party nodded.
He trotted towards Li's mother.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Li Xiuli quickly concealed her emotions and said, "Tangtang, what were you talking about with that young man?"
He looked at Lin Tang with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
My daughter is still young, so don’t even think about her dating.
You should at least be over 20 before considering dating.
"Nothing much, just chatting casually!" Lin Tang replied while looking at the piglets in the pen.
Chat and get to know each other, maybe it will be useful in the future!
Seeing that her daughter didn't seem to have any ideas, Li Xiuli glanced at Fang Zhitong from a distance and didn't mention the matter again.
"Tangtang, we'll be at our house soon.
"Your brother Baoguo said you can choose for yourself. Does your book explain how to choose piglets?" she asked in a low voice.
It’s not that she is stingy and unwilling to share with others, but she doesn’t want to cause trouble for her daughter.
I don’t know if the book Tangtang is reading is reliable?
If it is unreliable and cheats people, that would not be beautiful.
Li Xiuli spoke in a low voice, but Zhao Honghua next to her heard it.
"What book?" Zhao Honghua asked in a low voice.
He looked at Li Xiuli with burning eyes.
The woman's eyes sparkled, filled with anticipation.
Li Xiuli still trusts Zhao Honghua very much.
She avoided the others, leaned forward, and replied, "My daughter Tangtang said she had read a book about pig farming before, so I was wondering if there was anything interesting about selecting piglets."
Her family is going to get three, so of course she has to be very careful.
Zhao Honghua's eyes lit up, and she said without hesitation, "Tangtang, can you... also help me choose a piglet?"
She had an inexplicable confidence in Lin Tang.
Tangtang is the only high school student in the surrounding area.
She is well-read and smart. If the little girl says there is a way, then there must be a way.
Lin Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't refuse.
"Okay!" she said decisively.
Zhao Honghua smiled.
That smile of genuine gratitude made the woman's weathered face look much brighter.
"Tangtang, do you really know how to do it?" Li Xiuli looked worried and pulled Lin Tang.
Afraid that she would force herself.
Lin Tang shook his head, gave Li's mother an affirmative look, and stepped over the fence.
The key to choosing a piglet is to listen to its voice, look at its belly, observe its mental state, and its ears.
Lin Tang took a look and found that these piglets were all very energetic.
However, there are still tall people among the short ones.
She would choose the best from the best, the one with the most spirit.
It was carefully selected, so my mother and Aunt Honghua feel at ease.
Lin Tang first observed for a while, and after making a preliminary confirmation, he walked towards the herd of piglets.
We caught the two with the loudest voices.
Then, he looked at the piglet's belly.
The two belly skins in my hand have clear blood vessels, loose skin, and large blood vessels, which means they have a good physique.
Through the fence, Lin Tang handed one of the piglets to Zhao Honghua.
"Auntie, I think these two are good. Can you take a look?"
Zhao Honghua didn't pick too many and happily took one of them, looking at it left and right curiously.
"Okay, why not? Auntie believes you."
Lin Tang curved his eyes, his eyebrows filled with smiles.
Give the remaining one to her mother.
"Mom, take this one first, I'll go get two more."
Li Xiuli couldn't tell the difference between this one and the other piglets, but that didn't stop her from being happy.
Zhao Honghua and he each held a pig, looking very happy.
“Ahh…”
The piglets in the pigsty let out bursts of loud cries.
Lin Tang had a clear target. He aimed at the creature with shiny red fur and bright eyes and grabbed it.
When she caught them in her hands, the two piglets cried even louder.
It's you!
Lin Tang carried the two piglets out of the fence.
"alright!"
Li Xiuli glanced at other people looking at them and raised her voice slightly.
“Honghua, let’s go back after we’ve made our choice.
The piglets were selected by luck, but feeding them cannot be left to luck.
You still have to be careful, this is all money!"
Zhao Honghua had the best understanding with her. The smile in her eyes quickly disappeared, and there was a hint of sadness between her brows.
"Of course not, it would be great if we could have someone who knows about pig farming to guide us.
Our hearts can be at ease, but now... our hearts are hanging in the air!"
The women who had looked over curiously looked away.
That’s right, I’m really worried.
If you can raise pigs well, your family will have more income.
If you don't take good care of it, you will be in debt.
Seeing that everyone's gaze had turned away, Li Xiuli called Zhao Honghua and took Lin Tang home.
After getting away from the crowd, I walked on the village road.
Zhao Honghua looked at Lin Tang with hesitation.
"Tangtang, Auntie wants to trouble you with something..."
"Auntie, you want to ask me if I know how to raise pigs, right?" Lin Tang asked with a smile.
Zhao Honghua was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, I do want to ask about this.
Auntie knows you have concerns in your heart, but you know me.
I'm not an ungrateful person and I won't drag others into it. Your mother knows this.
So, I want you to raise pigs with me, is that okay?"
She had never raised pigs before and was very nervous.
Lin Tang also understood her, "Okay, of course, as long as Auntie is willing to believe me.
I wish everyone in our village would raise one with me."
She is very confident in the knowledge in her head.
Plus the book "Common Knowledge of Pig Farming for Beginners" that I got when I signed in last night.
If she can't take care of this, she needs to renovate her brain.
