Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man
Chapter 132: Raising Pigs
An An really wanted to say, "With me here, what are you afraid of?" But she couldn't say that. She'd just wait and see, and let them see the results themselves, hehe.
Qin Ying started preparing for seedling cultivation these days. Because Zhao Hu was not there, there was one person who was lacking the strength, so the progress seemed to be much slower, but at least it was successful.
I chose three acres of wasteland, plowed it once, applied fertilizer, mixed it with sand, plowed it a second time, and watered it lightly.
After soaking the seeds at home in warm water, Qin Ying and Aunt Zhao began to weave straw mats to keep them moist and warm.
Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian also came to help. They got the hang of it quickly and together they could do as much as Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying alone.
Soak the seeds for more than two hours, then wash them, take them out, and place them in a large flat basket to dry.
The seeds were dried and their straw mats were almost finished.
Then the seeds are placed in moistened sand and covered with straw mats. A basket is placed outside the straw mats to promote germination.
From time to time, you need to turn over the sand to ensure ventilation and make sure the seeds are not moldy.
In this way, after a few days, the rapeseed seeds began to turn white, which meant that they had germinated successfully.
Qin Ying turned it over carefully and found that most of the seeds had sprouted.
An An covered her mouth and laughed, that's not the vast majority, that's all, and this batch of seeds will definitely have extremely strong vitality!
The next step is to sow the germinated seeds.
Directly sown seeds also fall to the ground at the same time.
After the seeds were planted, several people used large spray bottles to carefully spray water, and the farming process was completed.
What followed was the cultivation of other crops in parallel with the villagers.
The entire Tongshu Village, no, it should be said that the entire Heishan area has entered the spring plowing stage in full swing.
Zhao Hu finally rushed back, dropped his luggage and joined in.
Just as Aunt Zhao said, when the busy farming season comes, they are so busy that they are exhausted and unwilling to waste even a single moment. They carry farm tools to the fields before daybreak in the morning and do not go home for lunch. They only return home with heavy steps when it is too dark to see.
If it weren't for the two sisters Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian who helped with cooking and boiling water, the family would probably have just had to make do with one meal.
Knowing that they were anxious, Zhou Mian would hold An An's hand and deliver the meal after cooking, leaving a large pot of hot water.
The two of them would also dig up some wild vegetables and take them home. They were delicious whether they were served cold or made into wild vegetable soup or vegetable dumplings.
Because Grandpa Zhou had someone send over a lot of oil, even though the two sisters’ cooking skills were average, the food they cooked was still very fragrant and had plenty of oil.
After the entire spring plowing season, almost everyone lost weight, except for the Zhao family, who, although they also looked tired and haggard, did not lose weight.
After the spring plowing was over, the number of rabbits in the rabbit farm exceeded 100. Qin Ying discussed with Zhou Yu and decided to keep 20 pairs of breeding rabbits, and the rest could be sold. Since it was the first time, the villagers wanted to see the money as soon as possible, so they slaughtered the rabbits and sold them directly.
In order to provide nutrition for the villagers, Zhou Yu also decided to keep four rabbits for himself, and Qin Ying, the chef, cooked them and shared them with everyone.
A big pot was set up in the center of the village and a fire was lit. Several aunts and sisters used the cornmeal that everyone had collected to steam steamed steamed buns and pancakes. Everyone held their bowls and sat around the fire, eating with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou Yu brought everyone another piece of good news: "We agreed to get some piglets for the villagers to raise. They will be delivered in two days, so starting tomorrow, everyone can think about where to raise the pigs, whether to raise them collectively or individually. I will not be involved."
After saying that, he left with his people.
So the villagers immediately surrounded Uncle Chen Jiu and excitedly asked him about pig farming.
Uncle Chen Jiu paused with his cane, cleared his throat, and said, "Isn't this the first time we've raised pigs since the drought? I don't think there will be too many.
"How about this, let's just raise them together first! When the piglets are born, whoever has the ability can catch them and raise them. It's the same.
"But let me be frank, since these are collectively raised pigs, once they are slaughtered they will naturally be shared among the entire village.
"For the first time, families who catch piglets and take them home to raise them must pay 100 kilograms of pig grass to the village when the pigs grow up, whether they are slaughtered or sold.
"After all, the piglets were raised by all of us together!
"If the piglets grow up and need to be bred, they can't be bred for free. They have to pay some benefits to the village, whether it's food or pig grass. It doesn't matter.
"As long as the collective pigs are not killed, we will continue to raise them. After the pigs are killed, we will share the proceeds with the whole village.
"Also, those lazy men and women who refuse to help should not complain about not getting enough meat when the meat is distributed!"
Everyone responded with a roar of approval, and after finalizing some details and choosing a location for raising pigs, everyone slowly dispersed.
Starting from the next day, we started building the pigpen.
In the past, pig pens were built under toilets, and human feces and urine were part of the pigs' food. The pigs were raised in a dirty environment, so rich people would not eat them.
Only families who are more particular will separate the pigpen and toilet, but because the pigs are not fed carefully, they gain weight very slowly and often weigh less than 200 kilograms after a year.
This time, everyone carefully discussed the details of feeding the pigs and handed the main responsibility to Grandma Wang. She was responsible for checking and registering the pig grass everyone brought. She also had to supervise the cooking of the pig feed and appoint people to clean the pig pen...
Grandma Wang straightened her back and felt like she was a dozen years younger.
Within two days of the pigpen being built, four piglets were delivered.
The pig farming project was officially established in Tongshutun.
An An ran home happily from the field, sweating profusely, and said to his family with a smile: "The rape flowers are blooming more!"
In fact, she is not running around for fun, she is selectively applying koi bonuses to the villagers' rapeseed flowers.
The gap between our family and ours can’t be too big, right?
My family is also very happy. Although these rapeseeds are a bit troublesome to take care of, the seedlings are strong and each pole is full of flowers. It is conceivable that there will be a good harvest in the future when they produce seeds!
Qin Ying wiped An An's face and poured her half a bowl of water. She asked softly, "Are you tired from running? Don't run so far in the future. The mountains are green now, and I'm afraid some wild animals will run down the mountain."
"No!" An An finished drinking the water and said to Qin Ying with a smile, "There are no wild animals on the mountain now. People said there were some before, but it was just a rumor!"
He shook Qin Ying's hand and asked, "Mom, we haven't been to the mountain for a long time. Let's go up the mountain in the next two days!"
She wants to go treasure hunting!
Zhou Mian came over and said, "Sister Qin, you promised us that you would take us up the mountain."
She had been busy before and hadn't felt comfortable bringing it up, but now was the perfect opportunity to do so.
