Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The squab meat that had been simmered for several hours was not chewy at all, so it was all cheap to the dogs in the circle.

After stuffing a few more buns into his mouth, Yang Dongxu planned to go to the street to get some rice-treasure porridge or some soup. Drinking tea in the morning always felt too bland, so it was better to go to the street to find something to drink.

When I was buying soup, I saw the tofu skin (Qianzhang Tofu) and fried dough sticks, which really matched the taste, so I ordered one, two bean skins and one big fried dough stick, put coriander and garlic juice, and added some pickles and diced radish, and one more

Eggs only cost two yuan.

The total price of three yuan including the soup is not too cheap. You must know that the soup is freshly made with boiling hot chicken soup and eggs, so the breakfast is not very cost-effective.

"You don't have to cook in the evening. There are all kinds of big fish and meat at noon. It would also be good to have some chicken sauce and bean curd in the evening." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but think as he bit into the tough tofu skin and fried dough sticks in his mouth.

"Why did you come out to have breakfast today?" He had just finished eating the tofu skin fried dough sticks in his hand and was about to take the last sip of the soup, when he happened to meet Daliang leading his son out to have breakfast.

"I didn't cook the porridge in the morning and I ran out of soup. I wanted to go out and have a bowl of soup. I saw that the bean curd dough sticks were pretty good and I bought one." Yang Dongxu finished scooping up the soup in the bowl and stood up to pay. "You guys pay together for whatever you eat."

"

"I'd better pay for it for you. Your meal is three yuan and two yuan." Daliang said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. I'll go check out the pig pen. I guess I'm quite busy today." Yang Dongxu said with a smile without being polite.

Although the pig farm no longer sells big pigs, the piglets will be sold according to the number of old sows. After so many years of cultivation, the breed of piglets in the Yang family pig farm is very good.

At the end of the year, the big pigs in various pig pens are sold and killed. The pig pens are already empty, so choosing a few piglets has become one of the purchases at the end of the year.

Spring started relatively early this year. The Spring Festival and New Year fall on February 7 in the Gregorian calendar, and the beginning of spring begins before February 4.

So it won’t be too cold after the New Year. The piglets will be brought home at this time, and they can get used to the pig pens and grow meat when the cold spring weather passes.

Raise like this for more than half a year, wait until the wheat harvest before catching two piglets, so that the big pigs can be sold before and after the autumn harvest. The piglets caught before the wheat harvest will be raised until the end of the year, and then they can be sold or killed during the Spring Festival. In this way, one year is considered

Raising two crops of pigs can help subsidize some household expenses.

After all, pigs are rarely raised in rural areas now and the feed cost is not much. Crush platycodons, corn stalks, small sweet potatoes and pumpkins that cannot be sold during the autumn harvest can be given to the pigs.

"Don't forget to leave two ends for my family."

"Got it." Yang Dongxu waved his hand.

It's not him and his wife who support Daliang's family. He currently works in a truck company in the county town, and his wife, who runs a store, has no time to raise pigs and sheep.

These are all raised by the older generation, that is, people of Father Yang’s generation. With the passing of their grandfather’s generation, breeding and farming basically became the responsibility of Father Yang’s generation.

Man’s main business.

That is to say, the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine in rural areas is now relatively well developed. Otherwise, it would be impossible for young and strong laborers like Daliang to farm at home.

Because it is impossible to support a family by just farming. Only when both husband and wife go out to work and leave the children to their parents can the economic environment of the family be improved. The era of eating only from the ground is over.

When we came to the pig farm, many people had come to buy piglets. Two or three families in a village drove a three-wheeled battery cart with bamboo or wattle baskets on it and wheat straw padded inside.

Five or six little piglets can also bring two or three people and a lot of young goods back.

"Why did you come here just now?" When he arrived, Zhou Ya was already here.

"I was a little tired of eating steamed buns, so I went to the street to drink some soup to moisten my skin. I saw Da Liang and chatted for a few words. You go out and I will catch you. You are not strong enough." Yang Dongxu said, while taking off the long rubber shoes next to him.

Give it back.

Although the pigsty is quite clean and there is no accumulation of pig manure. But if he goes into the pigsty to catch piglets and run around for several hours with the shoes he usually wears, the smell of the soles of his shoes will linger for several days when he comes home.

"Then come." Zhou Ya took off the rubber gloves and handed them over.

Yang Dongxu didn't come, but Zhou Ya had already helped catch several piglets. Although the piglets were not big, they were very powerful.

If the old man of the company she used to manage saw the usually elegant and virtuous Empress Zhou, she would be quick and accurate in catching piglets, and she would do it with one hand and her whole world would be shattered.

The piglets sold to the outside world are generally about 30 pounds and weaned for more than half a month. Basically, 26 to 7 pounds is more common, and the most is just over 30 pounds.

It is more cost-effective to buy small piglets of this weight. If they are one pound, thirty or forty pounds larger, the farmer who buys them will suffer some losses. After all, the price of piglets is generally three times the price of large pigs. The price of piglets goes up.

The more you buy, the more you will suffer.

It shouldn’t be too small, as it won’t help you eat too little, and it will make you prone to getting sick. So the best is around 30 pounds. Piglets at this time are basically 40 or 50 days old.

Piglets that are 15 days old can basically be fed a small amount. After the full moon, they are fed a large amount and need less milk. Now they are 40 or 50 days old and have been weaned and fully fed for a period of time. The intestines and stomach have adapted, so they can be taken home and fed easily.

Yang Xu and Yang's father were catching piglets in the pig pen. A group of people stood outside the pig pen to pick piglets. If they wanted to point out which end they wanted, they directly grabbed the front and rear legs and tied them with straw ropes, and carried them to the side to weigh and pay.

Under normal circumstances, families that are not particularly poor will not accept credit, and they will basically do cash transactions on the spot. After all, the New Year is about to begin.

At this time, the debt owed to Father Yang may not seem like a big deal to the creditor, but the debtor feels a little uneasy even during the New Year. After all, the debt is postponed from the end of the year to the next year, which is equivalent to having the family in debt for two years, which in the eyes of many people

Quite unlucky.

Therefore, many times at the end of the year, many people who are in debt will sell pigs, sheep, etc. to clear their family's debts and have a good year.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I have been busy all morning, especially around 11 o'clock at noon. People who went to the street to sell New Year's goods bought all their things and came over to take home one or two piglets.

, there was a long queue.

I originally planned to buy forty or fifty piglets for two or three days, but I cleared them all in one morning.

The piglets after the New Year will not be sold to the outside world, so that when the half-sized pigs in the pig pens grow up and can be sold, the piglets after the New Year will also grow up, so that the piglets can continue to be slaughtered.

There is no need to concentrate on slaughtering, leaving the pig farm empty all of a sudden. The workers will be extremely busy for a while, and they will be idle for a while with nothing to do.

"Okay, you go back, take the money bag back and reconcile the accounts. Your mother and I will take care of things here." After the piglets were sold, Father Yang waved his hand to Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya to stop here and go back to reconcile the accounts.

Prepare lunch or something.

In addition to the Yang family, grandpa also came to help today, but he only helped to maintain order and could not do any work. After all, he is over seventy years old.

The little piglet struggled very hard, and it was impossible for him to catch the piglets, so most of what he did was chatting with the people who came to buy piglets, or helping to weigh them.

There was a market today, and my uncle and his family were selling goods on the street and they didn't come over to help. My grandma was there to help, and my two sons and one old man were helping me impartially.

"Okay, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Yang Dongxu greeted Aunt Hua and asked her to cook. He and Zhou Ya were both ready for big dishes, but there was an old man Xuan at home who knew how to eat.

Some odd jobs, such as washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, making soup, etc., he was too lazy to do anyway, so Aunt Hua needed to help.

"Get some whatever you want. The piglets are out of the slaughter. The half-grown pigs will be fed in the middle of the night, and a few hard vegetables will be eaten at noon." Father Yang said.

The casual words he said were obviously casual politeness, but in the next sentence he stated his request.

Pigs in pig farms are fed twice a year, one in the morning, and another in the middle of the night, that is, at five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Those that grow meat need to add some feed or something.

So I drank something tipsy at noon, took a nap, and woke up at 3 or 4 in the afternoon to prepare pig food. It was a pleasant little life.

"Okay, got it." Yang Dongxu responded.

Zhou Ya and I left the pig farm and walked towards the old house. The old house is not very popular all year round, so at the end of the year we basically choose to cook there.

"I'm going to tell my aunt that they won't be allowed to cook at noon. Let's eat at our house." Zhou Ya said after leaving the pig farm.

"Okay, let's prepare a few more dishes. I'll look for Wen Chen by the way. I don't know where he's gone. I don't know how to go home without looking for lunch."

"I should be playing with Jiejie. I'll look for him later." Zhou Ya nodded.

In the past two years, there was almost a big conflict at home because of the issue of whether Jiejie should go to a good school in the city.

In the past two years, my aunt has basically not mentioned this incident, because first, during the high school entrance examination, this kid only got into the No. 1 middle school with less than 500 points.

My aunt rented a house next to the No. 11 Middle School and watched Jiejie go to high school. As a result, he is already 17 and already in his senior year of high school. He is about to take the college entrance examination next year and his grades are hard to describe.

Even if you go to the High School Affiliated to Yanjing or Shanghai with this score, you will still be the kind of person who basically has no hope of getting into a university if you don’t find connections and don’t donate teaching buildings or infrastructure to the school.

So the aunt simply gave up and seemed to realize that her child was not good at studying.

The current consideration is that 18 years old is still a bit too immature. If the college entrance examination does not go well next year, let this kid find a technical school to learn technology, or go out to work directly.

However, although Jiejie's grades in school were not good, his communication skills were good. Although his grades were not good enough, he could not be the class president. After all, both the class teacher and the students had to save face, but he was a sports committee member from the first year of high school to the third year of high school.

At school, he doesn’t respond to everyone’s requests, but he is always an active member of any class activity or school sports meeting, and he does well in whatever tasks are assigned to him.

Therefore, by cultivating such character and communication skills, you can develop absolutely first-class sales talents, and then develop management experience. Your future future will be no less than studying in college.

It's just that nowadays parents still value college diplomas very much, as if to make up for the regret of not being able to go to college.

But in fact, in today's society, although academic qualifications are a stepping stone, ability is also very important.

Especially for people like Jiejie who don't need a stepping stone, academic qualifications are really not a necessity, ability is the first priority.

What, this master's degree, that doctorate, it's just a halo, it's really of no use to Jiejie.
