Pig raising is a big deal for the Sun family.
Sun Shaoan taught seriously, and Sun Yuhou, Sun Lanhua and others studied seriously.
Even Sun Shaoping and Sun Lanxiang listened carefully. They also hope that their pigs will be big and fat and sell at a good price.
After teaching it once, Sun Yuhou and the others did not remember it.
Sun Shaoan continued to teach repeatedly.
"Dad, sister, you do these first, and I will talk about the rest when I come back next time." You can't teach them all at one time.
Sun Shaoan plans to come back and teach a part of it every time.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in raising pigs." Sun Yuhou looked amazed.
Early the next morning.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye went up the mountain together.
"Brother Shaoan, hurry up, there are sparrows there!"
"Brother Shao'an, there are pheasants there!" Tian Runye said happily.
"Runye, there are a lot of medicinal materials here."
"Run Ye, run slower, don't fall." Sun Shaoan was also very happy.
It's past nine or ten o'clock.
Sun Shaoan roasted the pheasant.
Also roasted a few sparrows.
"Brother Shaoan, the pheasant you roasted is so delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more."
"Brother Shao'an, I brought white flour buns." This time, Tian Runye's food was improved.
After all, Tian Runye hasn't been home for a month.
Tian Futang wanted Runye to eat something good.
"Let's grill it and eat it."
"Brother Shaoan, I'll bake it."
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye were busy all morning hunting game, digging medicinal materials, and chopping firewood.
It was still almost noon before I went home.
Two hares, three pheasants, many sparrows, a pile of medicinal materials, and a large bundle of firewood.
"Put it down quickly, don't be tired." Shao'an's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Mom, I'm going to Uncle Futang's house to borrow food for this month." Sun Shaoan still needs to borrow food from the brigade.
Borrow once a month.
"Okay, let's go quickly. We have to go to school in the afternoon." Shao'an's mother began to kill the hare, and Sun Shaoping and the others also helped.
When Sun Shaoan comes back, Sun Shaoping and the others will have meat to eat, which is something to be happy about.
Sun Shaoan took a pheasant to Tian Futang's house.
Tian Runye did not go back and was talking to the old lady in the house.
After a while.
Sun Shaoan came back carrying ten pounds of white noodles and twenty pounds of stick noodles.
"Mom, Uncle Futang borrowed a lot of food. I'll leave some for the family." Sun Shaoan said as he poured out some food.
Sun Shaoan saw that there was not much food at home.
Even if it’s sorghum noodles, we can’t eat them dry every time at home.
It’s time to stop picking up the slack.
Every household is almost out of food.
Sun Lanhua, Sun Shaoping, and Sun Lanhua all have sallow complexions and thin muscles.
"No, no, it's easy for us to talk at home and we can always find something to eat." Shao'an's mother hurriedly stopped her.
You can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.
Shuangshui Village has water and mountains.
Although they are all barren, you can always find something to satisfy your hunger.
"Mom, there are thirty kilograms of food here. I can't eat it all in a month, so I'd better save some for the family."
Sun Shaoan put about five jins of white noodles and five jins of stick noodles.
When Sun Yuhou came back, he saw the food that Sun Shaoan had put down and said, "Shaoan, there is no shortage of this food in the house. You can take it all with you."
"Dad, I work as a student in the school kitchen and have plenty of food. It's no problem if I bring less food."
"Does it affect learning?"
"It doesn't matter, it's all after class time."
"Shaoan, do you still have enough money?"
"I still have enough money. I work hard and get five yuan a month. I'm not short of money."
"That's good, study hard in school."
"Don't worry, I won't be as useless as Sun Yuting."
"That's your second dad."
Sun Shaoan stopped talking.
The reason why Sun Shaoan had a problem with Sun Yuting was because Sun Yuting kept sucking blood from Sun Yuhou.
Sun Yuting suffered from poverty and sucked Sun Yuhou's blood not because of anything else but because of laziness.
afternoon.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye went to Shigejie Commune and waited for the bus.
Tian Futang drove a truck to see them off.
Tian Futang knew Hu Defu, the chef in the commune canteen.
Ask Hu Defu to help stop passing cars.
This Hu Defu knew the driver who passed by very well. (Why does this driver know the chef?)
Hoodford stopped the car easily.
"Master Hu, thank you." Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye were very polite.
"Thank you, please slow down." Hu Defu is very fat, very fat!
In this day and age, are there any fat people?
there is.
Basically they are all cooks.
Even the commune cadres are still thin and cannot gain weight.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye took a ride on the road and went to Yuanxi County.
The days passed.
I go to class, work in the kitchen, read in the classroom at night, and go to the cultural center to read on Saturdays and Sundays.
Sun Shaoan is busy every day.
Tian Runye also studied hard and read books carefully.
Sun Shaoan has read almost all the books on breeding.
Sun Shaoan is now reading books on traditional Chinese medicine.
Sun Shaoan also tried to submit articles to some suitable journals.
In addition, Sun Shaoan had to secretly go to the black market.
There are not enough meal tickets.
Sun Shaoan wants to buy some food stamps and go to the food station to exchange for some food.
Then use the food to exchange for some school meal stamps.
In fact, Sun Shaoan doesn't need to go to such trouble.
Chef Niu, the school's back cook, once hinted that he could use money to buy school meal tickets.
Some people do this too.
At this time, everyone is short of food.
But Sun Shaoyuan pretended not to understand.
Sun Shao'an would rather risk going to the black market and secretly exchange for food stamps than buy meal stamps 'above and above board'.
In the black market, it's a one-time deal. As long as you don't get caught when buying food stamps, you'll be fine in the future.
If so, Sun Shaoan buys meal tickets from Master Niu.
Although there is no risk when buying, it is always a problem.
In the future, if anything happens to Master Niu, he will be easily implicated.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
This month, Sun Shaoan read a lot of medical books.
Shuangshui Village.
Sun family.
"Grandma, this eye drop is good for your eyes." Sun Shaoan bought the eye drop.
"Is it good for your eyes? Let me give it a try." The old lady has bad eyes and ears, is semi-paralyzed, and feels uncomfortable and sick all over.
"Grandma, there are also Chinese medicines. I'll go make some medicine with you." Sun Shaoan wanted to show off his medical skills and started to treat the old lady's illness.
"Shaoan" saw Sun Shaoan preparing to boil medicine. Shaoan's mother couldn't help but ask: "What kind of medicine is this for? Do you dare to give it to your grandma?"
"Mom, this is for regulating the body and is good for grandma." Sun Shaoan went to cook the medicine without further explanation.
"Grandma, let me give you a cake to eat." Tian Runye fed the old lady.
Tian Runye did not stay at home for long, but came to Sun Shaoan's house.
Tian Runye likes to stay with Sun Shaoan very much.
After a while.
"Shaoan, do you think I am doing this right?" Sun Lanhua asked.
Sun Lanhua is basically responsible for raising pigs at home.
Sun Yuhou was busy at work.
Shao'an's mother also has a lot of things going on.
Although Sun Lanhua is also very busy, she is young and has a good memory, and she has remembered the methods taught by Sun Shaoan.
Sun Shaoping and Sun Lanxiang also helped.
"Sister, you did the right thing.
Do this from now on.
In addition, pig feed can use home-grown earthworms, remember to boil them." Sun Shaoan still used the earthworm method to raise pigs.
In the absence of pig feed, it is good to use artificially cultivated earthworms as pig feed.
time flies.
It's winter in a blink of an eye.
Recently, Sun Shaoan basically stayed at home and did not go to school. The school is temporarily closed.
Sun Shaoan took over the matter of raising pigs.
Facts have proven that using artificially cultivated earthworms to raise pigs has very good results.
The three pigs raised by Sun Shaoan at home are big and fat.
In addition, Sun Shaoan goes up to the mountains every morning to cut firewood, hunt game, and dig for medicinal materials.
Tian Runye followed him up the mountain almost every day.
Tian Runye didn't go to school either.
The relationship between Tian Runye and Sun Shaoan is getting closer and closer.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye ate barbecue on the mountain almost every day.
Their complexion improved again.
They have also grown taller.
this day.
noon.
Tian Futang returned from Shigejie Commune.
"Where's Runye?"
"I went up the mountain with Shaoan." Runye's mother was cooking.
"Are you eating at Shao'an's house again?" Tian Runye spent most of the day at Sun Shao'an's house. Tian Futang has some opinions.
"Yes, I asked Runye to bring two more steamed buns." During this period, Tian Runye had lunch at Shaoan's house almost every day, so when Runye's mother asked Runye to go, she brought a few more steamed buns. Steamed buns.
"Come on, Shao'an has a large family and not enough food." Tian Futang doesn't need to take advantage of Shaoan's family.
"Shaoan goes up to the mountain, and he can catch pheasants and hares every time. At worst, he can catch a bunch of finches, and he can eat meat every day. Runye has benefited from it." Runye's mother is very kind and sensible. .
"Shao Anwa is a capable person." Tian Futang couldn't help but praise, "Look, this is the remittance slip from the post office to Shao An."
"Remittance order?" Runye's mother was a little surprised, "Who will remit money to Shaoan?"
"I heard it's a magazine."
"Magazine club? What do you mean?"
"It was said that Shaoan submitted the article.
The manuscript was accepted.
So he sent the royalties to Shaoan. "
"Shao Anwa is still submitting articles?" Runye's mother looked surprised.
"Yes, Shao Anwa is a character."
"Master, I heard from Runye that Shaoan's method of raising pigs is good.
The three pigs of Shao An's family have grown big and fat. "
"It looks good.
I went to see it two days ago.
Shaoan's method is to raise earthworms at home and use them as feed to raise pigs. "Tian Futang also knew about Sun Shaoan's pig raising situation.
After hearing Tian Runye talk about it several times, Tian Futang went to see it several times in person and communicated with Sun Shaoan several times.
"Then our family also uses earthworms to raise pigs, right?"
"Wait a little longer until Shao Anjia's pigs are sold to the food station."
"What do you mean? Are you afraid there will be a problem?"
"Yes, it's up to the people at the food station to decide whether the earth dragon feeds the pigs or not."
"How could it not work?
Moreover, let’s not mention it, the people at the food station didn’t know that they were feeding earthworms to pigs? "
"We can't hide this. Someone has already gone to the food station to report the situation."
"Who is he? He's so nosy."
"The one over at Jinjiawan."
Shuangshui Village is divided into two parts: Tianjia Lao and Jinjiawan, separated by the Dongla River.
Most people in Jinjiawan have the surname Jin.
There are many Tianjia people in Gelao.
In the early years, the Jin family was a big landowner in Shuangshui Village.
The Jin family has the final say on matters in Shuangshui Village.
Later, the Jin family was suppressed.
The Tian family is up.
Now, the Tian family has the final say on matters in Shuangshui Village.
As for Sun Shaoan's family, they belong to outsiders in Shuangshui Village.
The Sun family was weak and their situation was very unsatisfactory.
"Jinjiawan? Why are they talking about Shaoan?" Run Ye's mother felt that the Jin family was nosy and had no good intentions.
"It's not Sun Yuting." Tian Futang nodded.
Sun Yuting has done a lot recently.
The Jin family's house was smashed.
Enmity with the Jin family.
Sun Yuting is Sun Shaoan's second father.
It can be said that Sun Shaoan's family has been implicated.
Sun Yuting is a guy who succeeds more than fails.
Runye's mother also knew what Sun Yuting had done, "What did the people at the food station say?"
"There's no news yet, there's chaos there."
"What can we do? If the food station doesn't accept Shao Anjia's pigs, isn't that a bad thing?"
"have no idea."
Had a meal.
Tian Futang took the remittance slip and went to Sun Shaoan's house.
"Shaoan, your letter."
"Uncle Futang is here." Sun Shaoan was feeding pigs in the yard.
"Dad, you're here." Tian Runye and Sun Shaoan fed pigs together.
"Shaoan, this is the remittance slip. Take a look."
"Let me take a look." Tian Runye snatched it and looked at it, "Brother Shao'an, you got the royalties again."
Sun Shaoan has been getting royalties almost every month in the past few months.
"Where does this royalties come from?" Sun Shaoan didn't just submit to a magazine.
"It's the journal Scientific Breeding."
"Oh, my method of raising pigs with earthworms is about to be published?" Sun Shaoan wrote an article about the method of raising pigs with earthworms and submitted it to the journal "Scientific Breeding".
"What?" Tian Futang was quite laid-back at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly thought, "Shaoan, what do you mean?"
"Dad, Brother Shao'an's method of raising pigs using ground dragons has been recognized by the journal "Scientific Breeding". It won't be long before you can see it in the journal." Tian Runye answered.
"So, it's okay to raise pigs with earthworms?" Tian Futang was shocked.
"Yeah, no problem." Tian Runye said with a smile, "Brother Shaoan, you are the most powerful."
"Can the food station accept the pigs that Shao An raises?" Tian Futang continued to ask.
"Why can't we accept it? Such a good pig can definitely be graded as Level 1." Tian Runye also knows about selling pigs to be graded.
Pigs are also graded, with grade 1 being the highest.
Pig grading is a big deal in rural areas.
If you raise a level, you can sell it for a lot more money.
"Shaoan, why don't you take your pigs to the food station and sell them now?" Tian Futang was still worried and wanted to see with his own eyes the pigs Sun Shaoan raised with earthworms and sold them.
"Okay, Uncle Futang, I want to use the brigade's truck." Sun Shaoan agreed.
In fact, Sun Shaoan also heard the rumors.
Feeding pigs with earthworms is a bit 'evil' in the eyes of others.
He didn't dare to try it, but he felt that there was something wrong with the pigs that Sun Shaoan fed.
A lot of trouble.
Sun Shaoan's pigs drove away on a carriage.
Shao'an's mother and Sun Lanhua were a little worried, but didn't say anything.
Sun Yuhou has already gone to work and is not at home.
Arrive at the food station.
"Is this pigs fed with earthworms?" People at the food station also heard that Sun Shaoan fed pigs with earthworms.
The people at the food station didn’t know if there was any problem with feeding pigs like this.
"Yes, comrade, I wrote a manuscript on how to feed earthworms to pigs, and submitted it to the journal "Scientific Breeding" for publication. I have already received the manuscript fee." Sun Shaoan explained.
"What? You want to publish it? So, it's okay to feed earth dragons to pigs?"
"Yes, but it is not a simple matter of feeding the burrowing dragon directly, there are many steps.
The first step is to artificially breed earthworms.
The second step is to clean the earthworms and boil them in boiling water." Sun Shaoan briefly explained how to feed the pigs with earthworms.
"So troublesome?" The people at the food station were a little confused after hearing this, but they didn't embarrass Sun Shaoan. "Since this method works, let's just overdo it."
The pigs fed by Sun Shaoan were big and fat. Sure enough, they were rated as Grade 1 and sold for more than one hundred yuan.
A pig costs more than one hundred yuan, which is a very high price.
Tian Futang on the side was a little envious.
Leave the food station.
"Uncle Futang, I borrowed the money from you to buy piglets, and I will pay you back now."
"Not urgent."
"Uncle Futang, please order."
"No need to order." Tian Futang couldn't say anything, but he kept his hands and carefully counted the money, "Shaoan, you, an earth dragon, need to teach me how to raise pigs."
