Fields of Gold

Wildfire can't burn out, the spring wind blows again. The life force of wild grass is the most resilient, it is the spring warm time, before and after the village, up and down the mountain, the most indispensable is all kinds of wild grass vegetables. Half a child in the village can cut a basket at the bottom of the mountain.

The rest of the family doesn't have enough staff, but there are many idle children in the village! If the price of two baskets of pork grass is one penny, there should be a lot of children's reasons to earn a small mouthful of money!

Yu Xiaowei analyzed this, and Yu Jia also felt that there was not much problem in raising a hundred or so pigs. The three uncles are still helping to collect pigs in the countryside. Soon after, the pig farm was covered, tall and tidy courtyard walls, a new row of spacious pig sheds, mountain springs drawn from the mountains with bamboo tubes, gathered in stone pools... everything was ready to stop.

The piglets were placed in their new homes, and each pig shed was filled with five fat piglets. Twenty piglets were half empty!

Xiaolian and her aunt and daughter, pulled out of the dock. Last year's locust disaster hit the pier's business badly. First of all, the halogen business can't go on, because after spring, the butchers can't receive raw pigs, and the pighead pigs can only run into each other once in a while.

Although there is no shortage of food in her family, but the family can't help breaking a copper plate into two halves. Where can the mother-in-law of the child be hungry, buy a bowl of noodles to sit down and enjoy?

My great-aunt and cousin Liu Feiyan had already returned to Xishan Village. I heard from their man that Yu family was going to set up a pig farm to help her. I had long missed it. This is not true. As soon as the pig farm was built, she packed her bags and took her little girl into the pig farm house.

At present, pigs are small, eat little, and do not eat much. Big aunts, daughters, little grass sisters, and more and more spiritual old men, took a sickle, carried a basket, wandered around the pig farm for a lap or two, and could beat the grass every day. Besides, there are three cousins from the Liu family who come from time to time to help, and the staff is sufficient.

In order to ensure that pigs grow faster, it is certainly not enough to feed them. The rest of the family stockpiled coarse grain for the winter and didn't move much at all. White rice noodles, who wants coarse grain? Last year's harvest of sweet potatoes was sun-dried.

There are still a thousand kilos of corn left to remove the seeds. They are all ground into coarse corn seeds. Some of them are left to cook and drink, and the others are fed to pigs. If Dobe Sang-woo's old stubborn man knew, Yu Xiao-gua fed the corn to the pig, he would be angry to death and come back to life!

There is also a lot of bean noodles, noodles and other coarse grains, stacked in the warehouse. The old man cares about food and is afraid that it will grow worms in the summer. He sighs at these every day.

Yu Xiaolian and his aunt and daughter are responsible for cooking pig food. In one corner of the pig farm, in a row of bamboo shed five stove eyes five large pots work together, all three are used to the kitchen livelihood, cooking the pig food of fifty or sixty pigs, it is not difficult to pour them.

Yu Xiaograss comes every day to help, the main task is to add spirit stone water to the pool. Pork food is cooked in extremely light spirit stone water, the pigs love to eat, and they don't get sick, they grow fast!

Zhu Junyang of Beijing learned about her pig farm, sent dozens of little pigs, and several cars of rice bran, wheat gluten and noodles. The number of pigs in the pig farm has risen to 120 by now.

Yu Xiaocao counts, if you sell one head a day, and wait for the first pig to come out of the line, you can almost sell it until the New Year, let your uncles stop harvesting piglets.

One hundred and twenty piglets, not a small number of piglets per day. Xiao Lian and his aunt, cooking pork food alone is enough for their busy scorchhead. I couldn't help myself. I invited Liu Yan, who is already 12 years old, to help me.

The acquisition of pork grass is on the agenda. Yu Xiaoxue brought Zhou Coral, Qian Yafang and Liu. Huifang's three good sisters told them about the pig farm asking for one penny and two baskets of pig grass. All three young ladies and sisters who were relaxed and safe expressed willingness to help.

Previously, when conditions allowed, a diligent person would grab one or two piglets in the spring and come out to eat meat or sell or kill pigs at New Year's Eve. The three young ladies have all had pigs in their homes before. It's too easy for them to beat grass. It's okay to beat four baskets all day long!

When it is known that the rest of the family will collect at least thirty baskets of pork grass a day, perhaps more will follow. The three young ladies discussed it. They were the only ones who did it first. They couldn't make it. Didn't they have siblings in the family? In the future, the piglets grew up, there was a lot of grass demand, and it was too late to find someone else.

Dry, a few corals that day, from the rest of the family led a uniform size bamboo basket, took a sickle, cut at the foot of the western mountain to draft. Qian Yafang is carrying a reluctant Qian Wu, Liu. Huifang brought all his brothers and sisters. Only Zhou Coral was lonely and widowed. There was no way. Her brother followed his father to the street to sell goods. Her sister married. Her mother was going to serve a group of little chickens. She was the only one at home.

On the first day, Zhou Coral made three cents, Qian Yafang made five cents, Liu. Huifang's three brothers earned nine cents. Acquisition of pork grass, settlement of accounts on the spot, if it is not enough money, with the next day.

A month down, Liu. Sister Huifang didn't expect to earn more than 300 words. Now, in order to earn some money, I don't know how many people are staring at the location of a part-time worker, and they meet a bad employer, and they're tired of dying to make less than 10 cents a day.

So, when Liu... When Huifang handed over the money for a month to her mother, Daughter-in-law Tianzhu asked in surprise: “Huifang, where did you get all this money? ”

Before that, more than 300 words was not much. When the tide goes down, dig a day of sausage, and you're lucky to get almost that number. But last year, on the coast near Dongshan Village, people crowded it every day, the beach was almost turned over to the sky, and the sea intestines were almost extinct.

The daughter helps with the chores every day and takes her brother and sister out to play. Every time she asked her, she said to go and play with the good sister Yu Xiaoxue, the daughter-in-law of Tianzhu did not care about her heart. I didn't expect my daughter to make more than 300 literary dollars in silence.

Liu Huifang said he was helping Yu's pig farm fight pig grass. Daughter-in-law Zhanzhu glanced at her strangely. "Don't tell me about your relationship with Little Grass, because of your father's relationship with Uncle Yu, we can't take any money! Let's go, Mother. Take the money back to Grass! ”

Liu Huifang wasn't worried about the money, she said patiently: "Mother, you know who Uncle Yu and Xiaograss are. If we don't collect the money, they won't let us help. Instead of looking for someone else, we should fill each basket with more pork grass and tighten the basket so that the little grass doesn't pay for it, but we don't get a lot of pork grass. ”

Liu Zhong Zhu, who was wearing a fishing net in the courtyard, listened to his daughter and agreed: “The child's mother, Huifang, is right. You also know that Brother Dahai doesn't like to take advantage of other people's cheapest prices. If you don't charge him, maybe he will compensate us more in the future! ”

Zhongzhu's daughter-in-law heard the news and hesitated for a moment. “Since you said the same to the head of the family, shall we take the money? ”

Liu Zhongzhu, like Yuhai, is a child lover: “Our family Huifang, Xiaoying and Iron Egg can do it, one person rewards them for ten cents as petty flowers! Buy a few more pounds of white noodles, cut two pounds of leeks at Brother Hai's house, let's eat the box at night!! ”

Three little listeners jumped right up and cheered. Zhu Zhu's daughter-in-law glanced at the man with a smile: "Are you used to children like this? Forget the cooking box. Give me some change! Kids can lose if they loose their hands!! ”

Liu Huifang put ten copper plates in his embroidered bag, and he was somewhat uncomfortable: “Mother, I disagree with you!! Little Grass is younger than me! She's got all the money in her family, and I haven't heard of her spending a dime. There are also Xiaosha (Yuhang Xiao name) and Xiaolian, who earn their own money, even Xiaoshi has his own little vault. Which one of them is spending money? ”

Youngzi nodded and said, “Yeah, yeah! Grass is amazing!! She said," Money is earned, not saved. "Can spend money to make money!! You see, the little grass family spends money, they never have soft hands. Whoever eats white rice in the disaster year has meat..."

Zhu Zhu's daughter-in-law squeezed a pinch on her daughter's face. "Who can compare us to Grass? The girl is a golden head and can come up with a way to make money by spinning around. Youngko, if you can match half of her, we'll let you handle the money! ”

Youngzi thought about it and was somewhat discouraged: “My brain is not as good as grass, I can't figure out a way to make money...”

Liu Huifang hesitated for a moment and pondered his own thoughts for a long time. He said, "Father, Mother! I want to catch some chicks and bring them back! I heard from Grass that they raised pigs to open a halibut shop in the capital. I'm thinking, halibut shops can't just buy halo pork, halo chicken, halo duck or something, should they also do something with it? We don't have many chickens in our village. If we raise them, we won't be able to sell them...”

Liu Zhzhu stopped his livelihood and thought carefully, slowly nodded: “My daughter has a point!! ”

“Makes sense. What? Kids are crazy, you're a father and you're blind! Who doesn't want chickens? If you grow up, you can lay eggs for money without selling them. But the key is who can afford that mouth with surplus food!!” The daughter-in-law felt that men and daughters were unreliable.

Liu Zhzhu thought about it and said: “If you can't, I'll borrow Brother Hai's carriage and go far away to buy the wheat gluten. With vegetables or something, we can raise 180 chickens on our own terms. ”

After hunting with Yuhai a few times last year, Liu Zhu Zhu, who had money in his hand, turned his house over and circled a large yard. Now one side of the yard is planted with vegetables or something, and the other side is built with stones and a short wall and a few grass sheds, which is a big chicken ring.
