Chapter 43: Make way, Lin Xi is here to buy pork
In fact, the students of Songtao Academy were very excited when they heard the news that Mr. Shuer was recruiting students individually.
When they heard that the teacher also agreed for them to take the exam, they were even more eager to try.
Only the waiter who didn't understand the situation was confused. Who on earth was this Mr. Shuer that even Mr. Song Tao respected him so much?
More than one household had the same doubts, thinking that the Shuer Academy that suddenly appeared was probably an unknown small workshop that was trying to cheat people out of their money.
However, just when everyone remained skeptical, Lin Xi witnessed with his own eyes that a long queue had formed at the Shuer School next door, and almost all the students from Songtao Academy had arrived.
Xiao Yongyan didn't know if he would like all his disciples, so naturally he had to give them a test.
Lin Xi just watched as these people went in happily and came out covered in dust an hour later.
It was already dusk, and Lin Xi was ready to pack up and return to the village. After posting the notice, Lin Xi turned into the school.
Xiao Yongyan was cleaning the room and sorting out the test papers of the candidates at this time. Lin Xi glanced over inadvertently and saw a familiar name.
"Isn't this Wang Xing'an?" Lin Xi pulled out his paper and asked with a smile, "Mr. Shuer, are you going to accept this student?"
Xiao Yongyan knew that Lin Xi asked this on purpose, and shook his head, "His writing is average, it is unlikely that he will pass the exam to become a scholar."
"Really?" Lin Xi was slightly surprised. Just based on one article, Xiao Yongyan could tell who would pass the exam to become a scholar.
"We'll know when the time comes." Xiao Yongyan was not in a hurry to defend himself. Time would prove his vision.
…
Taoli Village became lively again after a long time. Many people gathered at the door of Linxi's house, and noisy sounds were heard one after another.
Inside the house, Lin Xi rubbed his head, thinking that he had really not thought things through and should not have made this public.
The reason can be traced back to last night. Because the results of the Tongsheng exam were announced, all the stock in Linxi store was sold out, not even a piece of bacon was left.
There was no choice but for Lin Xi to temporarily close the shop and return to the village to buy a few pigs and make a new batch of bacon.
Since he couldn't figure out which families were raising pigs, Lin Xi simply spread the word that he wanted to buy pork.
The villagers who heard the news immediately became excited. Everyone knew that Lin Xi had money and was generous.
"Mrs. Xiao, look at my pigs. They are so fat. I feed them well every day..."
As soon as Lin Xi went out, he was surrounded by this group of villagers who were enthusiastic about selling products, and he could hardly move.
"Don't be anxious, I will visit each family's pig one by one, so don't crowd them." Lin Xi shouted.
As she said this, she immediately grabbed the hand of an aunt nearby and said, "Aunt, where is your pigpen? Take me to see it."
The aunt was flattered when she was suddenly called, and quickly said, "Over here, sister, follow me."
Seeing that Lin Xi had already gone to someone else's house, this group of people naturally followed suit. After the noisy group of people left, Xiao Yongyan finally got a moment of peace.
Lin Xi quickly arrived at the aunt's house.
"System, turn on the animal detection prediction function."
[Beep, receiving the host's request, starting the detection and prediction function. ]
My aunt's pigs were eating in the pigsty, but the whole pigsty was stinking, so everyone else stepped back and no one wanted to go forward.
[System testing...]
[Detection object: pig, predicted type: bacon]
[Prediction result: The boar is in average health and the taste score of the bacon is expected to be 6.0. ]
Lin Xi couldn't accept such a result. You know, when she made this batch of bacon, the score was 8.0. The gap was too big.
Lin Xi didn't say anything on the surface, turned around and went to another person's house.
After looking at all the pigs from all the families, Lin Xi selected three pigs that really met his requirements and paid for them on the spot.
The other families were all jealous, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why don't you want my pig?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Aunt, your pigs are skinny. I will take them in when they grow bigger."
"That's not right. The pig in my house is very big, why don't you want it?" someone else asked in the crowd.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Uncle, the food your dog eats is too monotonous, and the quality of the meat is not good enough. You can feed it more in the future."
Many other households asked for the reason, and Lin Xi tried his best to answer as much as he could.
Everyone felt a little depressed after listening to Lin Xi's explanation.
"I have been raising pigs all my life, but when she told me about it, it seemed like I knew nothing." A man in his 50s said, "How do you tell me how to raise our pigs before you take them in?"
Others pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Lin Xi's specific requests.
"If you have any questions about pig farming, you can ask them after the Ma family's pig farm is built." Lin Xi said.
A pig farm is being built in the village, but no one knows about it.
"I was wondering what those Ma family members were digging for every day. Turns out they were raising pigs."
"No, raising pigs requires building pig pens, why dig the ground?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ma Shanfeng. He himself couldn't explain himself clearly, and looked at Lin Xi with a look for help.
"Actually, it's like this. What the Ma family is planning to build is called a semi-underground pigsty. As you all know, it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer underground. Pigs will grow faster in such an environment than on the ground." Lin Xi explained.
Everyone in the village looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never heard of such a thing in their entire lives.
Is it possible to make pigs live lower than the ground so that they can grow faster?
"Whether it works or not, everyone will see it then." Lin Xi also put up a job advertisement for the pigpen, "We are short of manpower to build the pigpen. Anyone who is willing to help can find Ma Shanfeng to sign up. The salary is 120 wen a day, including a lunch."
This price was higher than the one offered to Lin Xi before, and people in the village rushed to sign up.
Lin Xi left it to Ma Shanfeng to decide which specific people to recruit.
She had something more important to do right now.
Several acres of new paddy fields have been reclaimed, and it is time to plant the second batch of rice.
Lin Xi calculated that she still had 63 experience points, which was barely enough for her to exchange for a new batch of rice seedlings.
But if these rice seedlings are exchanged, there will not be enough fish seedlings.
However, fish are extra after all, so Linxi still has to prioritize the supply of rice seedlings.
With so much experience points, the rice seeds Lin Xi exchanged this time were one grade higher than last time, and the yield per mu also increased a lot. One mu of land can produce eight stone of grain, which seems impossible to ordinary farmers.
In front of the rice seedlings, Lin Xi was drooling at the sight of the plump ducks in the field, thinking that if he could turn these ducks into roast ducks, they would definitely taste great.
