Chapter 92: Work on the Livestock Farm
If these people had not exuded joyful expressions and were middle-aged and elderly people who had no ability to fight back, and there were not policemen standing guard at the guard booth a hundred meters away, Jingshu would have taken out her big stick long ago.
Uncle Su Yiyang gave Jing's father a bear hug and said, "You actually got a pig? A black one at that?"
A group of neatly dressed old uncles looked at Jing's father eagerly. It was obvious that they were different from the beggars outside who were holding sticks and bowls and chopsticks.
Although my aunt was shivering in her black coat, she was still full of energy and praised Jingshu:
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months. You're getting prettier and prettier. You've really become successful now. But don't forget your aunt..."
Look, people will only shine when they demonstrate their value.
Jingshu and Jing's father unloaded the black pig from the box on the roof of the car in front of everyone. A group of old men looked at the pig with their dark eyes and found that it was indeed a strong pig. They stroked the pig one by one as if it were their own son.
"Nice ass! It must be chewy and springy when eaten."
"Good face! Leave the pig's head meat to me, an old man!"
"And a whole cold pig's ear salad. I still have two taels of wine..."
"My daughter-in-law needs milk production, so I want this pig's trotter. Does anyone have some soybeans? I'll give them to you."
This is a group of people who haven't eaten meat for half a year, and they can still divide the spoils with dignity. But after a few years, there will be no such thing as so much trouble, and they will just eat it directly.
My aunt's brother Wang Gang rubbed his hands excitedly, "Don't worry, everyone will have a share. Let's do as we agreed before! Lao Wang, Lao Wang, go kill the pig first!"
The black pig was taken away by the two men, and everyone looked at Jing's father with shining eyes, as if Jing's father was the next pig to be slaughtered.
"Lao Jing, you've been hiding this from us for a long time. I heard from your brother-in-law that you have raised several pigs. Why don't you give us a new one?
Don't worry, we will definitely not treat you unfairly. Just tell us what you want and we can get it for you. This is ***'s father, this is the father-in-law of the Discipline Inspection Commission, this is the previous ***..."
Wang started introducing them one by one. Every time he introduced an old man, he would excitedly shake hands with Jing's father, showing his kindness, humility and courtesy to the fullest. Those below the deputy department level were not qualified to be introduced and could only watch and swallow their saliva.
Faced with so many eyes gleaming at him, Jing's father was at a loss for words. He knew pigs were scarce, but he hadn't expected the leaders of Wucheng to be unable to eat live pigs either? Had they become so scarce?
Jingshu touched her chin. In fact, the country has meat reserves. Wucheng had previously collected frozen seafood from farmers' markets and made meat from slaughterhouses into cooked food.
But we dare not bring it out now. After all, national statisticians dare not announce that there will be no harvest in the next few years for fear of causing greater unrest.
Only the truly powerful can enjoy it. These middle and senior levels and retired people have energy but are neither up nor down, which is very embarrassing. However, the energy of these people should not be underestimated. At least when you need to get things done involving various industries, you can definitely find them to do it.
For example, there are people working in livestock farms here.
Wang Gang laughed and said, "Look how scared you are! I also exchanged this pig with your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is a smart man." Wang Gang also pointed out something. Seeing that Jing's father, this blockhead, did not react, he could only say depressedly:
"Lao Jing, you're such a good pig farmer. Why don't you go to a livestock farm? It's a great position there. Not only are they provided with food, but they also give out eggs. It's as popular as the Agricultural Department right now. You might not know that there are now less than a thousand pigs left in Wucheng, and only tens of thousands of chickens left out of the millions. They're all numbered and kept as treasures in a constant temperature room."
Seeing that Jing's father still didn't react much, Wang Gang took out his trump card: "They also implement diversified distribution breeding over there. You can take a few chickens home to raise, and then hand in the eggs to receive rewards. There is a lot of room for operation here;
You can also raise your own poultry in a constant-temperature room, or even bring your own pigs in for breeding. If you hand in your pigs when they get pregnant and give birth, you'll get a big reward... I heard the higher-ups are going to introduce a new salary system, which could be used to exchange for gasoline and other things you can't buy."
Jing's father's eyes lit up.
Jingshu's eyes also lit up
Come on, her father's job was what he had dreamed of in his previous life. After all, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. It will be easy for him to get eggs, chickens, pork and other things in the future.
"Uncle, let's get another black pig." Jingshu said on the spot.
…
Jingshu never thought that her black pig could be exchanged for 1 ton of diesel and 5 tons of water, as well as Jingshu's father's stepping stone to enter the livestock farm. Those old men were so bad, yet they were so rich.
Of course, this is also because supplies are relatively abundant in the last six months of the last century, and this group of people have some power.
The 5 tons of water are either mineral water or muddy water from the reservoir. They do not need to be filtered and can be directly placed in the yard to feed livestock and water the vegetable fields. This has alleviated the current water shortage situation. It is not easy to get so much water now, considering that all major reservoirs are under control.
There are still a few pigs in Jingshu's space. If there is still demand, she will replace them. If there is no demand, she will find a day to slaughter them and make them into cooked food. The previous pork has been almost eaten.
The next day, Jing's father started his new job. He saw that the work of the whole family was on the right track. Although they were insignificant jobs before the apocalypse, they were definitely popular after the apocalypse, and their value would gradually be reflected.
Jingshu was very satisfied. No matter how much she helped, her parents still had to stand on their own feet. Only with a solid foundation could they survive better in the apocalypse. Otherwise, they would be fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
In the next few days, Jingshu focused her time on practicing Rubik's Cube. After practicing for more than half a year, she finally reached a bottleneck and made no progress for several days.
Jingshu decided to practice Rubik's Cube hard and must break through to the 6*6*6 Rubik's Cube space as soon as possible, because there was really no space left in the existing 125 cubes.
There is still no news from Wang Dazhao. The Zhatian Party said they wanted to rob Qian Duoduo, the richest man in Wucheng, but it was probably a smokescreen. They seemed to have a new target and were plotting something.
After eating various fried, stir-fried, moldy mushrooms and increasingly watery rice porridge for more than ten days in a row, the people of Wucheng finally protested. Moreover, the former criminals regrouped and set their sights on the homes of those who still had food.
Wucheng, which had just been peaceful for a few days, began to fall into chaos again. The situation has developed to the point where people from the entire area are breaking into houses one by one to rob them, not to mention that there is still a lot of food stored in those high-end residential areas.
Anyway, this is an era where the cost of crime is low, and stolen food is more delicious than eating pig food.
Those who cannot afford to rob have no choice but to continue going to the supermarket every day to get free food.
Wang Qiqi: "Everyone, the latest announcement: the government has cancelled the free food tomorrow. Those who want to eat will have to exchange it for seasonings. Those who don't have seasonings will have to exchange it for clothes or fabrics!"
