Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Lin Heng and Xiulan prepared the ingredients together, cut a lot of antelope beef, and called the eldest brother and third father to come over for a good meal in the evening.

There was not much antelope beef left, and Lin Heng did not want to keep it. It had no special medicinal effects, and was just eaten as meat.

It was convenient to put other things in the freezer after it was empty. The smoked bacon and sausages for the New Year needed to be refrigerated.

After dinner, the next morning, Lin Heng first went to Tongshugou where the pig farm was located with the eldest brother and third father to see the progress here.

After seeing it, he nodded and said, "It looks like this place can be repaired before April."

Now the barbed wire has been surrounded, and thorns have been added to the outside, so the closure and safety are guaranteed.

In addition, Xiongba's litter of children last year has grown up. He gave his eldest uncle one dog and there are five dogs left. It's just right to work here.

"That's for sure. It's not difficult to build these pig pens." Lin Xutao said.

There are iron tiles and second-hand wooden boards that Lin Heng got here, so it's very simple to build.

"Don't worry, I have Third Father here." Lin Heng said with a smile, and handed him a cigarette.

Lin Xutao took the cigarette and asked with a smile: "Nephew, your Third Mother heard that you want to hire someone to raise pigs here, and she has some ideas. Do you think she is suitable?"

"No, it's different from raising one or two pigs. She can't even move the pig feed. I only recruit men, and once you come, you can't leave. You must work here until the end of the year. Of course, the salary is not low, 500 yuan a year."

Lin Heng immediately said that raising thousands of pigs is a physical job, and women can't do it here.

"Is that so? That's true." Lin Xutao nodded with a smile. There is no worry.

"Third Father, if you are willing to come, I welcome you." Lin Heng smiled.

This matter has been spread, and many people want this job, but he has not finalized the candidate.

Many women in the village said good things to him and wanted to come, saying that the salary could be lower, but he didn't agree.

This is no joke. If he doesn't raise pigs well, tens of thousands of dollars will go down the drain. This is tens of thousands of dollars in the 1980s, equivalent to millions in later generations.

"I would like to come, but my family can't do without me." Lin Xutao said with a smile. His family is also very busy this year. They have to raise fish, grow astragalus and crops.

After seeing them finish talking, Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and said, "Brother, I think you have to spend more money to make those pig pens and warehouses with cement. Even if it is three centimeters thick, it will be much better. It will be easier to remove pig manure."

"I have an idea about this. I plan to do it together at the end." Lin Heng nodded.

He thought about this for a while and finally decided to lay a layer of cement. Otherwise, it is really difficult to deal with feces. The pigs will turn the pig pens into a mud pit.

After talking here, Lin Heng left. He did not go home, but went to a forest with a large number of hairy chestnut trees growing in his home.

This place is not far from the apple orchard, with a straight-line distance of five or six hundred meters, and is located on the other side of the ridge.

The hairy chestnut trees in this forest account for as much as 60%, and most of the trees growing are oak trees and miscellaneous woods.

Although there are many hairy chestnut trees, unlike the chestnut mountain at the junction of Shimen Village, the trees here hardly produce chestnuts.

The thick hairy chestnut trees are as thick as a person's thigh, the thin ones are as thick as a finger, and the most are as thick as a person's wrist or forearm.

Now it has been more than ten days since the Waking of Insects, and it is not far from the Qingming Festival. There is green in places with a lot of water such as the riverside, and many tree spores are gradually full.

Grafting has always been chosen at this time, and it is easiest to survive.

Lin Heng first took a look and found that it seemed to be a little short of the heat. The spores of these trees on the top of the mountain were not full enough, so he could wait a few more days.

After looking at it, he went back and told Xiulan about it.

Xiulan reached out to tidy up his collar, and then removed the spider silk from his hair and said, "Then you should go and clean it up now. You have to cut down the other trees so that you can graft them later."

"I thought so too. I'll go with Dad in the next two days." Lin Heng nodded.

"I'll go with you. I can graft too. I grafted many trees when I was a child." Xiulan said.

"Then your skills in this area are not as good as mine. I have to teach you your husband." Lin Heng smiled and said that he had learned grafting professionally.

"I don't believe it. Let's compete." Xiulan said.

"No problem. Whoever loses will unconditionally agree to one thing from the other party." Lin Heng nodded.

"Okay." Xiulan clenched her fist and snorted.

"Then I'll go get cement first." Lin Heng said again.

Grafting will take some time. Let's deal with the pig pen first.

"Be careful, drive slowly." Xiulan patted her and said.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.

He actually wanted Xiulan to be with him, but the child couldn't be left without someone to take care of her.

Lin Heng went to Hongfeng Mountain to tell his father about this, and then drove into the city.

Now he gets cement directly from the cement factory in the city, which is cheaper than in town, and the same goes for sand and gravel.

It took him a day to get all the cement and gravel, and in the next two days he and everyone else mixed concrete here to lay the pig pen floor.

At the same time, he also asked the people from the power supply station to pull the wires over, install the electric meter, and pull the electric lights to some key places in the pig farm.

After the concrete floors of the pig pen and warehouse were laid, Lin Heng laid the water pipes, trimmed the owner's cabin, and laid the kitchen stove.

Soon it was March 27th. Early that morning, after they installed the large iron gate at the entrance of the pig farm, the pig farm was completely completed.

"Okay, good luck and good luck!"

"Raising pigs here is absolutely smooth, without any problems!"

…

With some blessings from everyone, this simple pig farm was finally completed.

Even though it was very simple, including the money for the excavator, it cost Lin Heng more than 4,000 yuan and nearly 5,000 yuan.

"Okay, we can leave for now. I'll pay you when we get back." Lin Heng said with a smile.

The pig pen was built to make him happy. This was the beginning of making money this year.

"Thank you, Boss Lin!"

“I wish Boss Lin’s business will grow bigger and bigger!”

Everyone laughed and shouted, very happy about the wages.

Soon Lin Heng drove everyone back to the village and settled their wages one by one as usual.

"Boss Lin, have you found the person who wants to feed the pigs in your pig farm?" someone asked.

"This has been found, no need to ask anymore." Lin Heng said with a smile.

One of the candidates was Li Shilei, his aunt's eldest son, who was also younger than him.

The other one was a man from Shimen Village next door named Zhang Feng. He looks honest and honest, he is only 27 years old, but he has three sons and one daughter waiting for him to be fed, and his parents can still work.

He came to talk to him about the person he was most satisfied with at work. He felt reassured by this kind of person who had a heavy family burden and was willing to help.

With the job I gave him, his family's situation would be greatly improved, and it was considered a good deed.

He wouldn't exploit someone because of their poor conditions. He didn't want to do such a thing.

After paying everyone's wages, Lin Heng invited his eldest brother and his third father's family over for a meal.

The bacon and sausages made during the Chinese New Year are fried especially well with wine and rice.

It was already afternoon after dinner, and when Lin Xutao and Li Xue left Lin Heng's house, they happened to meet their elder brother Lin Xuping.

"Brother!"

Lin Xutao simply said hello.

Lin Xuping nodded and left without saying anything, feeling regretful in his heart that he shouldn't have been so mean and arrogant.

Now not only is Lin Heng rich, but other important relatives of Lin Heng's family have also made a lot of money. His family is still pretty much the same as it was a few years ago.

What made him jealous the most was that Lin Heng actually arranged for Lin Hai to marry Tian Yan. His youngest son didn't have a wife yet.

He used to be jealous and wanted to cause sabotage, but now he doesn't dare to do so, because Lin Yue has become the clerk of the village committee, and Lin Heng is also very popular in the village, and he can't afford to offend him.

There was only regret in his heart, and he wanted to ease the relationship with Lin Heng's family, but they didn't accept it at all. He was more fortunate that Lin Heng was bullying them in turn.

"Dad, has the chestnut tree I planted grown?"

In the room, Lin Heng looked at his father and asked. A few days ago, he got some chestnuts to raise seedlings.

Since he wanted to build a chestnut forest, he had to make it so that it was full of chestnuts. He was going to kill the other trees one after another.

"They're all out, all the melon, fruit and astragalus seedlings in the greenhouse are out." Father Lin nodded with a smile.

After Lin Heng started growing seedlings in greenhouses in the past two years, he also fell in love with them, and sometimes he even took some to sell in the town.

"The next step is to graft the chestnut tree, right?" Xiulan asked beside her.

Lin Heng said: "I have one more thing to do in the past two days. I am going to dig out the golden marbles and pine trees from where I hunted takin before. I need to find someone to help."

"You are so precious to those trees, you have to dig them out so far away." Xiulan said helplessly.

"Daughter-in-law, you don't understand, this is a hobby and also money." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan spread her hands and said, "I don't object to you, I just think it's too far. It took you a long time to go there. Didn't you delay grafting the chestnuts?"

Next to her, Mother Lin said, "The trees in the deep mountains germinate slowly. If you wait until you graft the chestnuts, I guess those trees won't be able to turn green again half a month after the Qingming Festival."

Father Lin nodded and said: "Your mother is right, call more people when the time comes, and I will go with you."

"Okay, that's it, let's go get the chestnut trees tomorrow." Lin Heng could only agree in the end.

Another day, he invited his elder brother and old man Tian from the village to help him go to the Maolizi Forest.

Xiulan and her mother came here with their children.

The pastures here in Hongfeng Mountain have been sown, the astragalus seedlings are still being raised, and other work still takes time.

They first cut off all the other miscellaneous trees with a chain saw, bundled them together, waited for them to dry, and carried them home to burn.

These logs were kept as small as possible, and Lin Hengneng saw them even at the roots.

This forest is not big, only about ten acres. It took them two days to cut down all the miscellaneous trees, and then prepared for grafting.

The grafted branches were taken from some large chestnut trees in the village.

For thinner chestnut trees, branch grafting is often used. The survival rate of chestnut grafting is very high, as long as you pay a little attention to some skills.

There is always a way to deal with those particularly thick woods, and that is to use bud grafting. Take a plump bud point and graft it onto the bark. This survival rate is actually easier than branch grafting, but it requires some skills.

"Is my grafting okay?" Xiulan called Lin Heng to come over and see her grafting results.

Lin Heng smiled and said: "Of course, you are my eldest disciple, I leave all my skills to you."

The competition between him and Xiulan had been completed a long time ago. He dug up some wild kiwi fruits and planted them on the fence in the back mountain. Then he and Xiulan grafted some male and female kiwi fruits respectively to see who had the higher grafting survival rate.

He made these to fence the back hill with kiwi fruit. When the kiwi fruit branches grow up, he will control them to grow along the fence. It will soon be a living fence.

"As far as you can tell, this is my own credit, not yours as a master." Xiulan said softly.

"I still recognize Lin Heng's grafting skills, they are of a high standard." Tian Baishun said with a smile not far away.

He had heard of this kind of bud grafting, but he didn't expect Lin Heng to be able to do it, and he really admired it.

"It's okay." Lin Heng smiled.

There were many chestnut trees, and it took them two days to graft and process the sawed branches.

The day of completion happened to be April 1st. Lin Heng looked at it and said with a smile: "As long as this is successful, I will have nothing to worry about in the future and can still sell it."

Father Lin and Mother Lin also nodded. Very few people like Lin Heng specialize in managing a chestnut forest. Not even Lin Heng said that they had no idea.

But this kind of thing is indeed a long-term thing. With such a forest, chestnuts can be sold in the future.

"Walk home and cook a good meal." Xiulan smiled.

"I'm hungry too!" Lin Heng nodded.

They walked back together. The mountains were still bare at this moment, but the riverside was beginning to turn green, and the leaves were gradually sprouting.

Now they have taken off their cotton-padded jackets and put on double coats. The toon buds have not yet grown, but some bracken has grown.

On the way back, Lin Heng also picked two peach blossoms. He also kindly grafted some wild peach trees on the roadside in the village into shiny peaches.

In his free time these days, Lin Heng also grafted an orange tree with a sugar orange and a plum tree with a peach branch.

He liked to randomly graft fruit trees from the same family or even the same genus. He was very happy to see several different fruits growing on one tree.

And he also took Xiulan's son with him and told them that this was his magic. The children still didn't believe it, so Lin Heng asked Xiaoxia to write it in a notebook so that they would find surprises when they grow up.

Xiulan made fried bracken and bacon for dinner, and the first taste of spring entered everyone's mouths.

"There should be Chun Ya in the city now. Lin Heng, have you gone down recently?" Mother Lin asked.

"Go down in a few days." Lin Heng replied.

"When the time comes, you can take Xiulan with you to fold some and play with them." Mother Lin said.

Xiulan ate her food and smiled and said, "No, Mom, let's wait for a spring rain, and then let Lin Heng take all of us out to play."

She understood what her mother meant. She felt that raising the child at home would make her irritable and asked her to go out and play.

But this year has been much better, and she looks forward to everyone playing together.

"Yes, when everything becomes green in a few days, I will take you to a good place to play." Lin Heng said with a smile.
