Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

"Xiao Ma, go and call Liu Fuhong, the captain of the second fleet." Liu Xia Lian asked someone to invite her cousin.

"Okay, director."

About ten minutes later, Liu Fuhong came in, smelling of cigarette smoke. It was obvious that he was refining medicine in the room.

"Xia Lian, what's the matter?"

"How is my sister-in-law doing at home? How is the pig farming going?"

It turned out that in May, Liu Fuhong's wife returned to her hometown. There were four elderly people on both sides of the family, and two children in junior high school. There was nothing they could do but just ignore them.

The market for geese raised in my hometown is not very good, so I raised a boar and twenty sows at home, thinking of getting rich by raising piglets.

"Raising pigs looks simple, and it doesn't seem that complicated from your perspective. I went back to raise pigs myself, and sometimes I feel so tired that I want to cry."

"It's still the same work, except that you have to do everything yourself. That must be tiring. Take a few people and two cars back to find Chang Liang, the nursery man. The tens of thousands of sweet red hawthorn and big golden star hawthorn saplings that I arranged for him to graft in the spring should be almost grown. It's going to be cold soon, so all the two varieties of fruit tree saplings should be dug up and brought back. Also, go to the county town and find a reliable nursery base to buy 3,000 Red Fuji apples." "Okay, no problem, but it's freezing here. It's going to snow in a few days, and you won't be able to plant them if I bring them back."

"It's okay. I'll put it in the cellar. You know the situation in the countryside. If I keep it with Chang Liang, I don't know how much will be left after the New Year. After the New Year, I plan to develop a fruit base from dozens of villages around my hometown to provide raw materials for us in the future."

"Make sure you complete the mission. I'll just bring two light trucks with me."

Liu Fuhong called two drivers and two escorts and took some anti-skid chains. Considering the long distance, there was no empty car to go back. He pulled two trucks of sheepskin from the provincial capital to Shimenzhuang, and then went to his hometown in Shandong to pick up saplings. They were all covered with tarpaulin trucks, which were tightly wrapped and not afraid of the cold.

Needless to say, the journey was tiring. It is true that truck drivers these days are risking their lives. One truck was enough to carry 10,000 saplings, but considering the safety on the road, Liu Fuhong arranged for an extra truck. The journey was safe and sound. First, they returned to Liujia Village, where the truck and driver were settled in the village guesthouse.

Liu Fuhong went directly to the pig farm on the north slope of the mountain without telling his wife and quietly came into the yard.

It happened to be the afternoon pig feeding time. There were more than a hundred piglets, each weighing about 30 kilograms. The feed trough on the playground was long and narrow.

The daughter-in-law took a large wooden barrel and poured it directly into the trough.

The piglets swarmed over, their ears trembling as they ate. Some of the smaller ones were directly knocked away. The situation was completely out of control. It was not until several buckets of feed were consumed that the pigs calmed down. The sows lived in single rooms and had to be fed one by one.

"Thank you for your hard work. You should hire someone." Liu Fuhong suddenly spoke, scaring his wife.

"You, when did you come? You don't say a word."

"Why didn't I speak? I'm not speaking."

"Fuck, I'm so tired. You go feed the sows and shovel the pig manure."

"Okay, okay, I'll go feed it."

There are twenty sows and one boar, and all of them are fed wet feed. The feed is pulled on a cart and shoveled in with a large iron shovel. Two shovels are enough to hurt each pig.

"The cart is too slow, and I have to pull it myself. I'll buy an electric tricycle later. I have to use some new equipment. Do you know why you are so tired? In the Northeast, you don't have to farm, you just feed pigs. When you go home, you have to farm, feed pigs, and take care of two children. And it's definitely not enough to have only one person. You have to hire another person. You can't do this without spending money."

His wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think you are just drunk. The electric tricycles are made by my cousin's own factory. How can we have them here? I am considering not selling the first batch of 130 pigs as piglets. There are too many poor people in the village. At least one-fifth of them will be sold on credit. The profit is already small. What's the point of selling on credit? Now it's better to slaughter the pigs and have feed. It's better to raise them until June next year and sell them all at once when they are 200 kilograms. I estimate that it will not be less than 70 cents per kilogram. A pig can be sold for at least 160 or 170 yuan, which is more profitable than selling piglets."

"Okay, you hire dad to come over and pay him 20 yuan a month for the night shift, so he can look after the pig farm and clean up at night. You can also hire a female worker for 40 yuan a month, so you can have a much easier time. Our family is not short of money. I'd better not quit my job yet. Starting my own business is still very risky."

"Okay, let's wait and see the first batch of pigs next year. If these one hundred or so piglets are successfully slaughtered, the profit of six or seven thousand will be at least. On average, we can make one thousand yuan a month, which is still easy to make." The daughter-in-law had a face full of longing, but the day-to-day hard work had caused her to have crow's feet at the corners of her eyes when she was only in her early thirties.

"I have good news for you. The canning factory invested by Sister Xia Lian is about to start construction. It should be built in the township next year, only seven or eight miles away from our village. When the time comes, I will apply to be the factory director. This way, I can take care of my family and still have a job."

"You? Can you do it? This is no joke. A factory has invested so much money and hundreds of workers are working there. You will be sorry to Xia Lian if you break it."

"Why not? It's because I'm stupid that I'm the leader. The smart ones all work in sales. But I don't understand why the cannery was built in my hometown, and the fruit tree seedlings were shipped to the northeast. Hawthorn, apple, and pomegranate came back this time just to transport the seedlings."

Needless to say, it was a passionate night. The next day, Liu Fuhong woke up to the piglet's hungry cries.

"Wife, get up and feed the pigs." Liu Fuhong turned over and found that his wife had gotten up early.

In the kitchen not far away, there are four super-large pots, which contain cooked food for piglets, corn, bran, bean cakes, salt, shell powder, and salt. Pour the prepared feed into the big pot of boiling water, stir vigorously with a big iron shovel, and it will be ready in a short while. Piglets have poor digestion ability, so they can easily digest cooked food and grow fast.

As for big pigs, it is not that complicated. Just mix the feed and add boiling water and stir it. After all, it is cold now, so you can just use cold water in summer.

When Liu Fuhong got up, his mother also came over and looked quite surprised.

"When did you come back?"

"I came back yesterday afternoon and will leave soon. The factory assigned me a task to bring back saplings."

The wife said, "It's getting late, let's go. You are the team leader, don't delay the factory's work."

"Understood. I'll leave right away."

Liu Fuhong said goodbye to his mother and wife and took two trucks to rush to the nurseries. This trip went to three nurseries in total.
