1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"In such a large pig farm, there are actually less than thirty wild boars?"

After a while, the three girls came to the pig farm. When Chen Lin saw it, she was dumbfounded.

"My brother caught hundreds of wild boars, big and small, a few months ago."

Wanling explained, "There were so many wild boars at that time, and without such a large pig farm, they could not be closed at all, and they had to leave room for them to move freely."

"Otherwise, the wild boar's temperament is too arrogant, and it will fight at every turn."

"Now this pig farm covers an area of ​​ten acres, my brother said that when he is free, he will divide it into two parts, the size of the pig farm will be reduced by nine to one mu, and the remaining nine acres of pig farms will be converted into Grassland for raising cattle and sheep, grazing dozens of buffaloes, cattle and goats."

"By next year, my family will be able to produce pigs, cattle, and sheep by themselves. I will slaughter whatever meat I want to eat in the future, instead of going to the city to buy it."

"When Jiangbei Village is powered on this year, I bought a large refrigerator, and the meat that I can't eat at home can be frozen and stored. It won't be like it is now, which is very inconvenient."

Hearing what Wanling said, Chen Lin was even more dumbfounded: "You... your brother actually went to the mountains to catch hundreds of big wild boars? Those wild boars are so good, do you let your brother catch them?"

"But I've heard that even if a few wild boars go down the mountain and the militia team uses guns to hunt and drive them away, casualties often occur."

She couldn't imagine what it was like for a teenager to enter the mountains and capture hundreds of wild boars in just a few months.

"Humph!"

Wanling rolled her eyes at Chen Lin, and said with contempt, "Who is my brother? Can someone compare?"

"I heard from my brother that he went into the mountains to catch wild boars, just like he was on an outing and playing. Once he caught them, there would be a large group of them! Just tie the four feet with ropes when you are knocked out."

"Otherwise, do you think our family's current planting and breeding scale is so large, where did the money come from?"

"It wasn't because my brother caught wild boars and sold them in the city, and then exchanged money to buy all kinds of things. Only in this short period of more than half a year can it develop rapidly."

"My brother also said that when our family's planting and breeding industry has stabilized, he will often take the three of us sisters into the mountains to hunt and play outings!"

"When the time comes, sister Lin'er, you can go with you too! That way, you can see my brother's hunting skills."

"Really?" Girl Chen Lin heard her eyes wide open, her face full of surprise.

"of course it's true!"

Wan Yu replied, "I've never seen my brother invite others to come home as guests. Sister Chen Lin, you and your mother are the first official guests of my family."

"For this, I dare to conclude that my brother will definitely agree to take us into the mountains for hunting and outings."

"However, it will take at least a few months for this time to wait until the planned terraced fields on the Dacha Mountain have been reclaimed by my brother."

She actually wanted her brother to take her into the mountains for hunting and outings for a long time, but unfortunately the family can't get away now.

"That's great! Let's start feeding the pigs."

Chen Lin was overjoyed and said to Wan Yu and Wan Ling, "Is it difficult to feed wild boars? How do I do it?"

"It's not difficult, Sister Lin'er, just watch it while you're there. Once you've seen it, you'll know it."

Wan Ling's face was straight and she emphasized, "You must be careful, don't stretch your hands too long, if the wild boars fight for food, they will bite your hand and drag you into the pigpen, and there will be great danger. sex."

In fact, the danger of breeding wild boars is not small.

Therefore, when Wang Qiang first captured wild boars and brought them home to breed them, he personally demonstrated, and repeatedly warned his three sisters, reminding them of many things to pay attention to.

After Wang Qiang's demonstration and teaching for a few days, several sisters would never make mistakes again, and he was relieved to hand over the job of feeding wild boars at home to them.

Chen Lin stood on the side with self-knowledge, watching sisters Wan Yu and Wan Ling, carrying a large basket full of sweet potatoes and corn cobs, and came to the edge of the low wall with a long stone groove on the inside.

The low wall is not high, but not short either, with a height of about one meter two.

But it is very thick, all made of bluestone blocks, very strong.

On the inner side of the low wall, next to the low wall is a stone trough that is dozens of meters long, about a foot wide, and half a foot deep.

The stone trough is about half a foot away from the bluestone floor, which is for the convenience of cleaning and also makes the wild boars have to bow their heads when eating.

This is to divert their sight and prevent them from attacking the feeding people when they are rushing for food.

Wan Yu put down the burden, picked up the sweet potatoes in the big basket that Wan Ling was carrying, and quickly dropped a batch of sweet potatoes into a section of the stone trough.

Wan Ling stopped and walked with a pair of big baskets, and Wan Yu, who followed behind her, kept feeding into the long stone trough.

After a load of sweet potatoes was put in, Wan Ling turned around, put down the completely empty load on her shoulders, and picked up another load of corn cobs again. The two sisters continued the same operation as before...

The whole process of feeding the wild boar took about ten minutes, and the twin sisters finally finished feeding the wild boar with the pig food in the two large baskets.

As for the drinking water of wild boars, special feeding is not required.

This is because when Wang Qiang built the pig farm, the pig farm was next to the artificial lake.

He specially dug a small pond inside the pig farm.

The small pond is connected to the mountain spring water ditch that flows into the artificial lake, and the wild boars in the pig farm can go to the small pond to drink water by themselves.

"Sister Yu'er, sister Ling'er, it's so easy for you to feed wild boars!"

Girl Chen Lin has opened her eyes today and she is full of happiness.

The imaginary work of feeding wild boars seems too simple now.

This is interlaced like a mountain.

"whee……"

Wan Yu laughed jokingly, "Isn't it that simple?"

"I remember when I followed my brother to feed wild boars for the first time, I was always afraid in my heart. Later, after seeing my brother's operation, I realized that it was that simple."

"Sister, Sister Lin'er, let's hurry up and feed the chickens, ducks and geese, otherwise, my brother will come to urge us to go back for dinner soon!"

Wanling didn't want to waste time, she urged.

She has always been single-minded and very serious in what she does.

When she decides to do something, she always wants to do it as soon as possible, and then it is time to play.

This girl is much more reliable than her twin sister.

"Oh."

Wan Yu hurriedly agreed, and together with her younger sister, they each picked up the empty baskets again, and took girl Chen Lin, and the three quickly returned to the warehouse.

To feed chickens, ducks and geese, their family now uses corn kernels and dry rice with husks, and they also adopt a staged delivery model.

Feeding chickens, ducks and geese is much simpler, except when feeding big geese, be careful.

Big geese are also very aggressive. Even people who feed them often have to pay attention to such large poultry at all times to prevent them from stinging.

In fact, a large poultry such as a goose is also very good for housekeeping.

They are very caring, alert, and will often attack strangers, which is not much worse than keeping a dog to watch the house.

Fortunately, the ducks and geese of Wang Qiang’s family usually live in artificial lakes most of the time, so feeding them is very difficult. Just go directly into the farm and pour the grains into the rectangular shallow stone troughs.

When she came to the chicken farm to feed, the girl Chen Lin exclaimed again, "Sister Yu'er, sister Ling'er! Your family still raises so many pheasants!"

"There are at least a few hundred pheasants here, but it's really too many!"

Chen Lin has seen pheasants and eaten them several times.

Mainly in this era, in the mountains near the tea city, the number of pheasants was much higher than that of wild boars.

Hunters often find pheasants and bring them to the city to sell. Auntie Lin also went to buy them several times in the early years.

The taste of pheasant is very delicious, and Aunt Lin's cooking skills are very good, so Chen Lin always remembers the delicacy of pheasant.

"However, why are their wings so short?"

After careful observation, the girl immediately discovered something was wrong, and immediately asked in surprise.

"This is because my brother is afraid that the pheasants will not be able to fly away, so he regularly trims the feathers of the large wings of these pheasants so that they can not fly high or far."

Seeing that she had finally finished her day's work of feeding livestock, Wanling explained with a smile while she was relieved.

"Oh, that's what it is."

Chen Lin was not only an eye-opener, but also really gained a lot of insight.

After a while, the three girls frolic and returned to the big villa, ready to eat lunch that was late today.
