After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Killing a pig is a particularly important event in the village.

Especially Shui Qingjia.

Last year, rice was exchanged for mushrooms. This year, rice was out of the question due to floods, but pork was exchanged for mushrooms.

Three or four kilograms of mushrooms are exchanged for one kilogram of pork, or for eggs. Most of their previous chickens are exchanged for rabbits and raised at home, but they also keep one or two chicks at home to hatch. The chicks hatched in the spring are... For more than half a year, nests are now being laid one after another.

So although the eggs were exchanged, the amount was small, and a lot of mushrooms were kept in the account just to exchange for pork!

Pork is a meat dish, and it is also the fattest meat dish!

A few pieces of fatty meat are mixed with stir-fried vegetables. The vegetables and soup are all covered with oil. Eating oily food will give you strength.

The whole village was boiling when they heard that the three men from Jiang Hehu came to the village to announce that their family would kill pigs tomorrow and asked everyone who wanted to exchange pork for it!

Not only the children cheered, the adults were also very happy.

Especially the women who are responsible for cooking at home. Carrying soil is too labor-intensive. They are struggling with how to replenish the health of the whole family. Over there, the Shuiqing family decided to kill the pig, which must be for their sake.

They were digging soil in the mountain today, but they heard from Da Ni and Ni Ni that Fan went to Fucheng to buy a donkey cart and also bought pig suet to replenish oil and water for them. Even the servants had pig suet to replenish oil and water. The master's family was in need. Meat?

Every household in the village thinks so.

Early next morning

The old village elder glanced at the children who were too tired yesterday to straighten their waists one by one. They all smiled happily when they learned that they had meat to eat. Youyou sighed: "Fortunately, I have joined the kid's family, otherwise I wouldn't have known how hard it would be this year." What does it look like?”

Not to mention other families in the village, their family has benefited the most.

At home, we follow Jin Xiaozi Shuiqing to replace rice with potatoes, so we don’t have to worry about food when floods occur.

The children are hardworking and loyal. The pot of mutton given to the eldest son by Shuiqing allowed the three eldest sons, who were digging drainage ditches in the heavy rain, to go home and eat nourishing mutton. It also allowed the family to survive the heaviest rainstorm days. The food is better than the festival.

How can I repay this kindness...

Wang Guifen also thought about the good relationship between the two of them and said with a smile: "Indeed! Not to mention, I ate more meat this year than in previous years!"

The key is that we suffered a flood this year.

They didn't have enough to eat outside, but they actually had meat. Although it was only a few times, it was really rare!

"Sister-in-law, how many kilograms of meat are you planning to exchange this time?" Zhao Lan approached and asked curiously.

My sister-in-law is in charge of everything in the kitchen at home. Anyway, she can cook better than her, so she can just wait and eat.

Everyone else looked at Wang Guifen.

Wang Guifen looked at her father-in-law hesitantly.

When picking mushrooms, their children even went out to pick them up, and there was still a lot left in the account. If it rained later, they could still pick up and exchange them. It was just a matter of how many kilograms they exchanged, whether they were fatter or thinner, or whether they were fatter or thinner. It's not good for her to make decisions alone.

"You three sisters-in-law can make the decision about food." The old village chief had no objection.

Wang Guifen looked at her two sisters-in-law again, both of them had expressions of trust that said, "You decide!"

They don't have a mother-in-law, and they don't have any kind of food sharing system. Anyway, everyone eats everything together. Except that Chang Lin ate better when he was in the academy, the good and bad things at home are the same.

Wang Guifen came to Shui Qing's house with the trust of her family.

Just like last time, there was a queue in front of the pork cutting board.

Butcher Hu got up early and killed early, but the women in the village thought about picking up soil, so they changed the pork and went back to cook it early, so that they could eat it at noon and not delay their work, so they all came early.

Wang Guifen thought she was early, but she couldn't even be considered average.

She first went to the table next to her and asked Yan Qiu to help check how many mushrooms she had saved, and then calculated how many pounds of pork she would exchange this time.

Shui Qing stood aside, contrary to his previous low-key tone, his voice was so clear that everyone present could hear: "There is no need to change too much this time. After picking up the soil, we still need to plow the land, and then plant potatoes. The farming will be busy until at least September. Mid.

We decided that we would kill a pig in ten and a half days, and also slaughter a sheep in the middle. It would be better to replace it with fresh ones to eat back. "

The crowd was even more excited when they heard that there would be another one less than half a month later.

They knew that Shuiqing's father and brother had returned to Niutou Town and brought back many sows and piglets. Those sows had given birth to several more litters of piglets one after another, plus the previous ones, which were big and fat enough to be sold. There are several.

I just didn't expect that Shui Qing would choose to kill them all at this time.

Shui Qing knew what they were thinking, and said with a hearty smile, "It's okay. When the farming season is busy next time, the little piglets from before can be put out again."

In order to raise pigs, she specially bought "High-yield Sow Feeding Techniques", "Pig Breeder Training Materials" and "Postpartum Care of Old Sows" from the mall to study, and she learned a lot.

An old sow can give birth to two to three litters of piglets a year, and a good litter can have twelve to fourteen piglets. Her old sow, which has several piglets, has just given birth to its first round, and there are already dozens of piglets. Piggy.

The second round will take place in four to six months, and the numbers will increase. If we don’t kill them quickly, it may be too late to kill the pigweed!

The choice of killing pigs at this time is certainly not because of the large number, but the main purpose is to add fuel to the fire there.

The nights are long and the dreams are many. Only when the dust settles as soon as possible can we truly feel at ease.

When Wang Guifen heard Shui Qing's words, she thought, if she raised pigs at home, and slaughtered one and smoked part of it during the New Year, wouldn't all the pork be eaten during the busy harvest time in the future?

In the past, I was reluctant to buy piglets because I was afraid of losing money if they were raised to death. Also, the home was not big enough to live in. And if the pigs were crowded together, the smell would be even worse.

After looking at Shuiqing's method of raising pigs, it is possible to carve out a piece of land near the wall at the edge of the village, build a special pig house, and dig a ditch underneath to drain the pig manure outside the wall for fertilization.

The piglets are bought from Shuiqing, so that everyone in the village raises pigs uniformly, which will also be an income in the future.

The more Wang Guifen thought about it, the more feasible it became, and she quickly took Shui Qing aside to express her idea.

Shui Qing didn't expect that he would open up a new way to make money for once with ulterior motives: selling piglets.

This is good, you only need to keep enough for your own food, and you can sell more.

And when people in the village start raising pigs, they have to kill them when they are ready for slaughter, right? Then from now on, when we want to eat fresh meat at home, we don’t have to go to Fucheng or Niutou Town to buy it!

You can eat local pork from local farmers in the village, free pork in the true sense!

Seeing that Shuiqing agreed to sell the piglets at the regular price outside, Wang Guifen almost trotted home after exchanging the pork to tell her family this idea.

The other women who had replaced the pork walked in small groups towards the village with smiles on their faces.

Lively discussion while walking.

Fan's mother is not worried about not being able to eat meat. She has her son's filial share anyway.

When Sun Jinhua heard the discussion, she swallowed greedily.

Her eyes fell on her daughter, who was standing on tiptoes to dry her wet clothes.
