Xu Yin took two trams before arriving at the freight dispatching station of the main factory.
There is a truck here every day that goes to the farms in the countryside to deliver swill and pig manure.
If employees in the factory need to go to the farm to do errands, or if the employees in the farm go back to their homes in the city during the holidays and then return to the farm to work, they all come here to catch a truck.
Unless you have a bicycle or choose to walk.
Xu Yin doesn't have a bicycle, at least not yet. It's too far to walk. The key is that she doesn't know the road, so she has to hitchhike here.
Seeing Xu Yin, a little girl carrying a luggage that was almost taller than her, the master in charge of the dispatch room on duty came out with a teapot and greeted: "Little comrade, which factory are you from?"
"Master, I work in the Second Cotton Spinning Factory. I received an order to work in the breeding farm. Isn't the car to the breeding farm leaving today?"
"No! You came quite early and you have to wait a while. Today it is Lujiawan's grandson's turn to go to the countryside. His wife fell ill and passed away at the beginning of the year. The two children are still young and the old man is not in good health. Organizationally Take care of him and allow him to leave the car an hour late."
This uncle is very talkative!
Xu Yin smiled and grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds for the uncle: "Uncle, this is a pumpkin that I grew myself and stir-fried to pass the time when I am bored."
The uncle squinted and smiled, praising her for her ability to do things: "Why did your factory transfer a little girl like you to a breeding farm? The work there is not easy."
Xu Yin changed her posture to carry the luggage: "It's okay, I'm strong and can carry it."
"He is a good comrade who endures hardships and stands hard!" The uncle gave her a thumbs up.
After chatting for a while, Lao Sun arrived.
The uncle took the initiative to introduce Xu Yin: "Old Sun, this little comrade was transferred to the breeding farm from the second factory. He will give you a ride. He is a good comrade. Please help him in the future."
Then he said to Xu Yin: "The breeding farm has one day off a week. It's a rotating holiday. If you go home, take Lao Sun's car back. He drives carefully, unlike those new guys who drive like they're naked." It's like a wild horse, and I'm terrified when I sit on it."
"Old Cao, we are not deaf!"
Not far away, a few young men in their twenties came laughing and joking. They were all driver candidates selected and recommended by each branch factory. They came to the dispatch station to train for a year and a half, and after returning home, they became full-time drivers for long-distance freight transportation.
In this era, driving is a good profession, as popular as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative.
As long as there are marriageable children in the family who need to meet someone, their hearts will be moved when the matchmaker says that the other party is a salesperson/driver, and other requirements will be relatively relaxed.
It can be seen that at present, driver is the only most popular profession among the 360 professions, which is on par with salesperson.
Xu Yin thought about it with her toes and knew that these selected (unofficially appointed) drivers were all from related households. Ordinary people didn't even know when those popular units would recruit drivers, let alone find a place in advance. Learned and exercised.
The uncle laughed and scolded these young people, and Xu Yin followed Lao Sun into his pickup truck.
The carriages were filled with swill buckets hauled from various factories and transported to farms to feed pigs.
Lao Sun pulled out the tool box from under the seat and dug around in it for a long time: "Hey, I remember putting a mask here. I wonder who wore it and didn't return it to me..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yin hurriedly took out a thick cotton mask from her pocket and said, "Master Sun, I have a mask."
"Do you have one? That's good. Some of the swill buckets we pulled out today were from the day before yesterday. The smell is a bit strong. It's better to wear a mask. If you feel too hot, roll down the window. After a while, the car will cool down after running. "
Xu Yin couldn't help but ask: "Master Sun, these swill buckets brought from various factories are all rancid. Wouldn't it be better to feed them directly to the pigs?"
"Why is it bad?" Master Sun said disapprovingly, "There was a famine a few years ago, and people couldn't get food if they wanted to! How happy are the pigs now? They lie in the pig pen and grunt, and they have food to eat without having to look for food. Life is much better than it was back then. There has been more and more swill in the past two years, which is much more fragrant than pigweed..."
Xu Yin: "..."
If she were a pig... bah bah bah! What a broken metaphor!
Assuming that people can understand pigs, they will know that pigs may not like to eat swill, especially rancid and smelly swill.
Swill can actually cause a healthy pig to contract chronic diseases, such as fungi, molds, parasites... and in severe cases, it can even cause swine fever.
Xu Yin explained this, and Master Sun scratched his head and smiled: "But Xiao Xu, pigs don't eat swill, so they can't eat enough with pig grass alone! You can't feed them whole grains, right? Isn't that too wasteful? Can't we humans still eat it? I’m full!”
This morning he only had one sweet potato and two small grain cereals, and he felt a little hungry before he even left the city.
“Besides, if you don’t feed the pigs, there’s no place to pour the swill!”
"..."
Xu Yin thought carefully and said: "It's not impossible to feed swill, but it needs to be processed. We can do this..."
Master Sun was confused when he heard this: "What about that, Xiao Xu, I'll just concentrate on driving."
He didn't understand, so it was obvious that he wasn't meant to work on a farm, so he might as well open his big cargo card.
"..."
Xu Yin had an idea, took out a yellowed kraft paper notebook, opened the system mall, spent 20 energy points, and found an instruction manual for turning swill into pig feed.
The three pieces of guidance on a thin page cost her 1,000 energy points.
System, are you secretly raising prices again?
I don’t think my sister has a lot of money, right?
Xu Yin muttered a few words in her mind and concentrated on reading these three guidelines. After reading this, she wanted to throw the dog system into the Pacific Ocean.
Article 1: Pick out foreign objects in the swill to prevent pigs from being injured after eating;
Article 2: Boil and disinfect to prevent pigs from getting sick after eating;
Article 3: It is best not to feed them alone, but with some green roughage (such as ground hay meal, corn stalk meal).
"..."
System, come out! ! !
Just talk about these three, which one is worth spending 1,000 energy points on? explain!
Te Miao's sister has come up with more specific methods than these three.
But all the money has been spent, and the system mall has no offer of return or refund. What can I do? Knock out your teeth and swallow blood!
At this moment, Xu Yin misses Taomaimai so much that she can return items without any reason within seven days. How cool it is!
Master Sun saw her leaning on the back of the chair without saying a word, looking up at the sky in front of the co-pilot at a 45-degree angle, with an expression that was indescribably sad. He thought she was sickened by the swill bucket in the rear compartment, so he comforted her. : "Xiao Xu, does the smell make you want to vomit? Just bear with it! It will be here soon!"
"..."
In that carriage, several young men surrounding Uncle Cao were eagerly watching Master Sun's truck leave. One of them, a short and fat young man, elbowed Uncle Cao: "Old Cao, who is this lesbian?" It’s so beautiful!”
"I'm a good comrade. She was transferred from the Second Cotton Spinning Factory to work in the breeding farm. Don't try to influence her. If such a pretty little girl were to be with you... then it would be like she was inserting herself into someone else..."
"Old Cao, I don't like hearing what you are saying." Jin Zhiming's face fell. "I admit, I do look a bit unsightly. There is nothing I can do about it. When I came out of my mother's womb, I landed on my face first, but you Don’t forget, our brother Sheng is very handsome. Although he has tanned a lot since coming here, he is even more masculine, isn’t he?”
As he spoke, Jin Zhiming smiled and raised his hand towards the tall figure walking towards the backlight, "Brother Sheng, am I right?"
Sheng Yujin put one hand in the pocket of her overalls, walked up to him lazily, and glanced at Jin Zhiming: "What are you doing here? What about the strike?"
"Wait for you, Brother Sheng!" Jin Zhiming winked at him, "A very beautiful lesbian just arrived and took Master Sun's car to the breeding farm. The few of us were talking, so Sheng Brother, your appearance is worthy of her... Hey - Brother Sheng, I haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?"
"The car is out!"
"..."
All right!
It's time to go to work, and the chatting has come to an end.
"Old Cao!" Jin Zhiming threw a cigarette over before leaving, "Let's go back and ask for our brother Sheng, which girl is... Ouch! Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, I was wrong! Don't pick up your collar, I walk on my own……"
"..."
Uncle Cao caught the cigarette and watched several young people get into their respective cars laughing and noisily. He shook his head with laughter and said with emotion, "It's great to be young." He put the cigarette behind his ear and held the teapot. He walked slowly back to the duty room.
