Chapter 76: Raising Pigs is a Science
Over the years, Old Man Ma has always felt that although Wang Meihua lacked some of the courage to run the family, she was ultimately a gentle person with no bad intentions. Little did he know that she turned a deaf ear to Lin Xi's words.
Lin Xi understood Wang Meihua's thoughts very well.
The Ma family lives a tight life on weekdays. They must be very heartbroken to be asked to feed the pigs with things they are reluctant to part with.
"Sister Meihua, if you want your family to live a good life, you should calculate the account like this. Under normal circumstances, it is considered good if a pig can be sold for ten taels of silver. But if you raise a pig according to my method, I guarantee that you can sell a pig for at least two taels of silver more. When you calculate it all, the cost of feeding the pigs now is nothing at all." Lin Xi said.
Wang Meihua stood there in a daze. They were all the same pigs, how could she sell them for more money?
"You just said that no one would be willing to feed the pigs this way, but if we were willing, the pigs would grow well and the pork would taste better. It would not be surprising to sell them at a high price."
Lin Xi's argument was far beyond Wang Meihua's understanding. She just thought that every bit of saving was a bit, and never thought about the issue of input-output.
Old Man Ma sighed, looked at Lin Xi and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law doesn't have bad intentions. She just hasn't raised pigs before, so she doesn't understand much. From now on, we will do whatever you say."
After Old Man Ma said this, Lin Xi knew that she wouldn't have to worry about what happened next.
Wang Meihua lowered her head in shame. What happened today was entirely her own decision, which is why it turned out like this.
"Okay, I'm not here to blame you. Come on, I'll take you to the pigpen and explain it to you bit by bit." Lin Xi said with a smile.
Ma Shanfeng was the first to step forward. "Okay, stop standing there and let's go."
So a large group of people followed Lin Xi and walked towards the pigpen.
The villagers who saw this scene along the way looked at the team curiously, wondering where these people were going.
When he reached the door of the pigpen, Lin Xi paused.
"System, help me analyze the overall situation of the pig pen and generate an improvement plan."
[Ding, receiving host request, analyzing. ]
[This analysis is expected to consume 10 experience points]
Lin Xi's mouth twitched. What does that mean? Robbery on the road.
The system ignored Lin Xi's thoughts and started analyzing in full swing, and soon formed a report and presented it to Lin Xi.
[The system has prepared feed according to the analysis results. Do you want to make it in batches? ]
"Yes." Lin Xi agreed immediately.
[Work in progress.]
"Brother, let me tell you one by one about the areas that need improvement."
"First of all, we can't just find a place in the pigsty to go to the toilet. It's better to build a special one so that we can use it to water the vegetables. But if the pigs accidentally eat human feces, they may get sick. Once they get sick, the pigs will be raised in vain."
No one expected that Lin Xi would say this right at the beginning. Everyone felt hot on their faces and was quite embarrassed.
But Lin Xi himself was generous and didn't think this was a taboo topic at all. "Also, don't be reluctant to give up the list I gave you last time. You must supplement the pigs with nutrition according to that list. On weekdays, just feed the pigs with feed, not pig grass."
Wang Meihua heard Lin Xi's new words one after another and couldn't help asking, "Sister, what is feed?"
"Feed is something specially fed to livestock. It's very nutritious." Lin Xi said.
[Pig feed has been prepared and placed in the third compartment of the host's backpack. Please check it carefully. ]
Wang Meihua seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.
Next, Lin Xi said that they should drive the pigs outside every day to force them to exercise and improve the quality of the meat.
This was the first time they heard such a statement. Shouldn’t pigs just stay in the pigsty? Do they need to exercise?
Everything Lin Xi said overturned their previous understanding of pig farming.
"Okay, we've said a lot today. You can go back and digest it. I'll have someone deliver the pig feed tomorrow, and you'll mainly feed them with feed from now on." Lin Xi emphasized again and again.
There are only two or three months left, and now the situation can only be reversed by relying on systematic feed.
"Oh, right," Lin Xi quickly took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket before leaving. "The listless pig at the back is sick. Mix the medicine in its food."
The Ma family was still in shock until Lin Xi left.
Ma Laosan scratched his head, "How did she know that the pig inside was sick?"
It seemed that Lin Xi only walked around the pigpen twice from beginning to end. Could this guy be the reincarnation of Shennong?
"I noticed that it looked listless these past few days. Turns out it's sick!" Wang Meihua suddenly realized.
After this incident, the Ma family believed Lin Xi's words without a doubt and never disobeyed them again.
However, when the group returned home, they were still scolded by Old Man Ma.
"Everyone in the village knows how well Lin Xi's business is doing in the town. People from the capital are well-informed and will do whatever you are told to do. If you were really that capable, you would have made our Ma family rich long ago!"
Old Lady Ma scolded everyone without distinction, and finally stopped after Old Lady Ma's advice.
…
When Xiao Yongyan came back from school, the table was full of food.
Lin Xi came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, which surprised Xiao Yongyan. He then laughed and said, "I didn't know that Madam had the talent to cook."
Lin Xi felt a little guilty. How could she say that Aunt Wu helped with most of the meal? She just waved the shovel twice symbolically.
"Eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold." Lin Xi said a little flustered.
It was midsummer and it was not easy for the food to get cold. Lin Xi was obviously embarrassed. Xiao Yongyan saw it and felt happy in his heart.
Anyway, the lady finally cares about him a little more now.
Speaking of cooking, it was Lin Xi's idea. After all, Xiao Yongyan had been cooking for such a long time, and she rarely had time to cook a meal for him.
Xiao Yongyan picked up the chopsticks and picked up some stir-fried vegetables. It looked very professional.
Then, I picked up the braised eggplant, which still tasted good and didn’t look like it was made by someone who had never cooked before.
"It tastes good." Xiao Yongyan's gaze fell on Lin Xi, and the dusk cast a gentle halo on his body.
Lin Xi looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of beauty of a peaceful and quiet life.
"It tastes good, just eat more." Lin Xi sat down quickly. Xiao Yongyan's eyes were gentle and passionate. She felt like she couldn't bear it.
The two finished their meal in silence, but a warm atmosphere flowed between them.
After Lin Xi finished his meal and leaned back in his chair, he suddenly asked, "What do you think of Tang Xuyang?"
