Sure enough, when the captain heard that Lin Manman bought bean curd cakes for the pigs, he frowned and the first thing he asked was:
"Lin Zhiqing, is this bean curd cake expensive?"
After thinking about it, the team leader felt that what he said was not very tactful. After all, Lin Zhiqing had just saved one of the most important assets of the Minjin production team - the sow.
The captain adjusted his expression and said:
"Lin Zhiqing, I don't mean anything else. The brigade will definitely reimburse you for the bean curd cakes you bought before, but after that..."
Lin Manman didn't wait for the captain to finish speaking, and pointed at the fat pigs in the pigpen next to him and said:
"Captain, you haven't looked at the fat pigs since autumn. Let's go and see the fat pigs first!"
When the team leader followed Yu Hao in just now, he was concentrating on looking at the old sow and didn't take a close look at the fat pigs in the pigpen next to him.
Now, the captain opened his mouth in surprise and said:
"Is this fat pig this big? It's too big. It looks like it must be over 200 kilograms!"
Grandma Bai nodded and said:
"It started a week ago. Ever since Lin Zhiqing started feeding the pigs with bean curd cakes, we have to weigh the pigs every week!"
"She weighed them herself originally, but later Qingmiao discovered that pigs grow fast, so she weighed them even more actively than Lin Zhiqing. If you don't believe me, ask Qingmiao!"
Wang Qingmiao nodded and said:
"Dad, what Grandma Bai said is right. This pig grows fast. Do you know how much it has grown in the past two months? About 70-80 kilograms!"
"Originally, Grandma Bai and I thought that the pigs would not grow when the weather got cold. But when the weather got cold, Lin Zhiqing increased the amount of bean curd cakes, and the pigs did not lose weight at all!"
"Look how fat this pig is. It's almost as heavy as two pigs from last year. I think Lin Zhiqing is paying off by feeding it with this bean curd cake!"
The captain was also very excited when he saw the big fat pig. He originally thought it was just a little bigger, but it turned out that he was superficial. Is it just a little bigger? It's inflated!
However, the captain was still worried that the price of bean curd cakes was too high, so he asked tentatively:
"Lin Zhiqing, how much does it cost to feed these pigs with bean curd cakes?"
Lin Manman took out a notebook from his pocket and said:
"This is the record of my purchase of bean curd cakes. In the past two months, I spent about 12 yuan in total."
"I have also calculated that if I feed pigs with bean curd cakes all year round, it would cost an extra 10 yuan per pig!"
"This money is not small, but a pig costs less than one yuan a month, and the meat of these pigs is definitely more than 10 yuan!"
"Also, Captain, this pig will not only grow meat after eating the bean curd cake, but it will also have a lot of fat. The villagers will be able to share more fat. Even if it is a mission pig, it will definitely be rated first class, just like this year!"
"The most important thing is that if the sow eats well, the milk production will also increase. So even though the sow gave birth to 16 piglets this time, as long as the milk is enough, all 16 piglets can survive!"
This was what moved the captain the most. When he heard that all 16 little pigs could survive, he immediately smiled and said:
"Lin Zhiqing, are you serious? If you can raise all 16 piglets, you will be a great contributor to our team!"
"We won't need you to feed the pigs anymore. When we add another person, you will be responsible for the technical issues!"
Lin Manman originally fed bean dregs cakes to pigs, hoping to use this to get the team leader to recognize her skills, so that she would not have to raise pigs and could become a veterinarian in the Minjin production team!
Lin Manman was afraid that the captain would regret it and felt that he had lived too little, so he took the initiative to add more burdens to himself and said:
"That's great! I love studying veterinary medicine!"
"It's not much work to just look after the pigs. These animals are all very intelligent. I'll buy two more books and study cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. When the time comes, you can leave the animals in the team to me!"
When the captain heard what Lin Manman said, he became even more satisfied with her. Although Yu Hao left, their team would have its own dedicated veterinarian. How happy that made them!
The captain immediately nodded in agreement and said:
"Okay, Lin Zhiqing, our team will reimburse you for the money you spent on the books. You should study hard. There is no rush to study chickens, ducks and geese. Apart from pigs, you only need to study cattle and sheep. Our team has so many cattle and sheep, and we can't make any mistakes!"
Lin Manman nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Captain. I'll go to the city to buy some books tomorrow. I'll definitely take good care of our team's pigs, cattle and sheep!"
…………
Although, Lin Manman feels that her skills are sufficient and there is no need to buy any books about breeding in this era. Instead of buying books, it would be better for her to write down the knowledge she has learned in a book, which will be more useful than buying any books!
However, all of her knowledge must have a source, so she still had to read books on breeding. Not only that, but she had to read more and remember the titles of the books. Otherwise, when people asked her about it, she would have no idea what to say!
So, Lin Manman went to Chang County Library early the next morning, hoping to find a book about breeding. However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find it. Later, he asked the administrator, and the administrator said that only the Animal Husbandry Station in Chang County had books about breeding!
It was impossible for her to go to the Animal Husbandry Station. After all, she had offended Yu Hao, and going to the Animal Husbandry Station would just be asking for trouble!
So Lin Manman had to take a bus to the Harbin Library again.
The Harbin Library has a wide range of books, and Lin Manman found quite a few books on aquaculture. Lin Manman deposited 2 yuan at the library and borrowed 5 books on aquaculture.
Lin Manman held these five books and thought that there were only five years left until the college entrance examination in 1978.
