Chapter 85:

...
In this way, He Songbai followed the old grandmother to study these pig farming books for a long time. After reading it all over, he changed the pig feed for the first thing.
At present, the feed for pigs in pig farms is mostly hog grass, which is very cheap, mixed with a little rice bran, corn, but the book says to feed some high-protein foods, such as various beans, oil cakes, slag, and oil left The tea oil seed cake is very cheap, and people who can’t eat meat or oil can stay home and eat it. But it was indeed used to feed cattle and pigs in the old society. He Songbai used to feed horses before.
He Songbai calculated the account, and the figure was still within the acceptable range. He did not hesitate to go to the black market to find Youlang, and ordered a month of oil cake.
He mixes beans and fritters with water and cooks them, and feeds them to the pigs in portions every day.
Li Zhong watched He Songbai throw money in without blinking. He couldn't help but say, "Beast is a beast, how good is it to eat such a good thing?"
He Songbai said: "Just wait and see."
He did not rush to refute Li Zhong, but let the dogs weigh the weight of the piglets every day. The original scale of the old pig farm was still there. He knew how many pounds he weighed when he drove the piglets up.
After a few days of feeding, the dog narrowed its eyes and looked at the scale on the scale, "I gurgle, the pig grows fast."
He Songbai listened to Grandma's words and used a small book to record the changes of piglets every day. It is reasonable for the piglets to gain an average weight of 0.6-1 kg per day, and when they grow older, they will grow faster. When they grow into medium pigs, they can grow as much as a pound and a half at their peak. It takes less than half a year for the pig farm to produce a pen.
After a while, Li Zhong looked at the figures in He Songbai's book, and was dumbfounded.
He Songbai explained to him while he was watching: "The protein content of soybean cake is 40~50%, and other nutrients are also sufficient, like lysine, which is very helpful for the growth of pigs. Don't regret these feeds Money, you have to spend money to make money. Pigs eat these feeds and grow fast. According to the current increase, the first porcine pig can be killed in the spring...You think about the one or two hurdles a year. Pig, we can make at least three columns, so much money."
Li Zhong listened to He Songbai's explanation and cast his eyes black.
But he understood that pig farms can make money in the spring, which is undoubtedly exciting news.
"In the end, there is a little ink in the belly, which is different from ours."
At this time, Li Zhong's mind reappeared with He Songbai's slogan "Pick peach blossoms for wine" again. Hey...Educated people are different. Even raising a pig can raise faster than others.
Li Zhong listened to the warmth of his heart, listening to He Songbai's almost blatant imagination, and couldn't help but dig up another 500 yuan as pig feed money.
"Let's work hard and make a lot of money."
He Songbai put the thick banknotes in his pocket silently and secretly decided to use the money to buy more feed to feed his piglets.
During the winter season, He Songbai ran to the pig farm in the cold wind every day, busy with his feet. But he was very happy in his heart, and the white piglets grew up gradually, and the whole body oil was smooth and bright, and he ate a lot of water.
He treats his children as if he were his own.
Bathing them, singing, raising them carefully, and digging up mud to arch them, if it is not cold to grow vegetables, he even wants to plant melon seedlings next to the pig farm and chew the pigs.
Zhao Lanxiang sometimes went to the pig farm to see him, seeing him sweating and holding a sick piglet to administer medicine, and his arms were filled with pig excrement, and he couldn't help admiring him.
His work is like a line, the novice pig is after a month of refining, has become experienced and old-fashioned!
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, He Songbai took a dozen pounds of pork back to Zhao Lanxiang.
Zhao Lanxiang was surprised, and blamed him: "Good little piglet, are you willing to kill?"
He Songbai scratched his head, revealing white teeth.
"No, they are all pigs now. They are very darling. It's a pity to kill them. I got them from somewhere else."
The pig farm in Yangbaoshan was banned, and even the price of meat on the black market was in chaos. If there was no uncle, the pork would be sold out. Anyway, Zhao Lanxiang could not afford it. The price of a pork with five yuan and two yuan per catty was three times that of the store. On weekends, she would line up when the sun was not bright, and buy some pork to beat the teeth.
In addition to bringing pork back, He Songbai also had a pot of pig blood and a few pounds of pig water, which is very rich in style.
Zhao Lanxiang carried the heavy pork and smiled. She likes all kinds of pigs with rich styles, and she can eat all kinds of tricks.
"Yeah, you bought the sausage casings back. There are so many porks. Let me have some sausages for you to eat. They will not be bad after a month or two. They can be eaten by steaming them after being cut into the rice. !"
He Songbai nodded. In the past, he envied the best family in the brigade. The hot bacon hung in the yard every year.
As soon as the meal was steamed, it was so fragrant that he was clearly full, but he felt that his stomach felt shortcomings throughout the year.
He helped the subject cut the meat and worked for nearly half a year in the pig farm. His knife work was not bad. The fat and uniform snow flakes were cut into thin and even slices under his knife to let the salt be stained. Fuller and more delicious.
Zhao Lanxiang cleaned the casings with salt granules and mixed the meat with soy sauce, salt and sugar. The cardamom, clove, big meal, cinnamon, pepper, slices are mashed into powder, and the white wine is mixed into the meat, and it is poured into the casing for a while. The thin casing is filled with fat and a piece of fat. lovely.
She tied it with hemp rope, and she said to He Songbai: "Tomorrow when you go to the pig farm, pick some pine wood and come back. We can't leave the sausage in the yard to dry, but the intestines smoked with pine wood taste better! "
He Songbai said that she couldn't help but look forward to it.
He can't imagine the taste of smoked sausage. He hasn't even tasted the taste of sausage in his life! But the next day he cut back a piece of pine wood by word.
Zhao Lanxiang used it to smoke a little for a while and then the sausage was almost cooked. The oil of the sausage dripped, the pine thorns squeaked, the oil droplets splashed out of the flowers, the aroma of the meat was mixed with the fragrance of the pine wood, and mixed into a unique The fragrance of He Songbai couldn't help but glance at it a few times.
Zhao Lanxiang divided the sausage into two strands, half smoked with pine wood, half rested by the window of the log house in an attempt to dry it with the weak sunlight in winter, and dry it with the breeze.
She clapped her hands, "You can cut some salami tonight for dinner."
She wiped the sweat oozing between her foreheads and asked He Songbai: "Do you want to eat a lighter during the New Year?"
"It seems that the brigade will kill the Year Pig in a few days."
Killing the New Year pigs is a big happy event in rural areas. There is no meat ticket issued in rural areas, unlike urban residents who can buy some pork every month to eat and beat teeth. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, everyone expected the brigade to order pork to taste the meat. Looking forward, I do not know how to look forward to killing the Year of the Pig.
He Songbai grinned a series of white teeth, a smile as pure as a mountain spring.
"I can eat anything, not picky food, you just make a decision."
The two are like the young couple of the head of the family, and have a discussion.
Zhao Lanxiang made a decision. When the brigade splits the pork, she comes to make a hot pot of red oil with a fragrant fragrance. It is hot and spicy.
In the evening, Zhao Lanxiang cut a steamed rice with salami, and cut the pork loin into flowers to make a wine-flavored waist. Jiang Li came before the rice in the pot was ready.
Jiang Li scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
"Hey, I'm sorry to come to you while the meal is here."
She waved her hand clarifyingly, "Explain in advance that I did not come to the He family to come to you on purpose."
Since Zhao Lanxiang said not to come to the He family as much as possible, Jiang Li did not like to run here. At the same time, she found a lord in the black market in the county. The lord always has delicious snacks and meat. She can eat delicious and delicious food every day. Although a little expensive, she has eight elder brothers above her, each leaking a little benefit from her fingertips, enough for her to eat white and fat.
Jiang Li pinched her sleeve and said, "I'm ready to go back to the city and come to say something to you."
She shrugged, "I came here to try to earn a worker, peasant and soldier student, but the side of the university was not touched, and I was injured. I thought that since I came, I have to support it for a year and a half. , Beginning and end."
"However, the parents at home do not agree, so let me go back to the city earlier."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he raised a pair of black and white eyes and looked at Zhao Lanxiang straight.
"I know it's not too kind to leave you here, so I'll ask you, would you like to go back with me? I asked my family to get you a job and transfer you back to the city."
Zhao Lanxiang heard the words and shook her head.
Of course, she didn't want to go back. The purpose of her coming to the country was different from that of Jiang Li. He Songbai's affairs had not been settled yet. Seeing that her life was getting more and more prosperous, where would she go?
Jiang Li frowned, as if puzzled.
Zhao Lanxiang explained: "I... continue to work hard, maybe I will be in the next student?"
"You also know that my home is different from yours. You can't go this way and you can go another way. My path is very narrow. Wait and see, I will be able to'enter college' next year."
Here, Zhao Lanxiang secretly changed the concept. She did not use the word "selected", but "entered". She waited for the college entrance examination to be opened next year, returned to the city from the countryside, and went to college with strength.
The workers, peasants and soldiers themselves also had an ideological and political assessment. Zhao Lanxiang said this, and Jiang Li had no doubt.
Jiang Li said with a smile: "Then I won't keep you anymore, remember to play at my house in the New Year!"
"I invite you to eat candy, and my brother is also..."
She squeezed her eyebrows at Zhao Lanxiang.
Zhao Lanxiang put the rice out of the pot, lifted the lid, and sandwiched the hot pine roast sausage.
She said lightly: "I really have nothing to do with your brother. I have found someone better than him, who is in front of me."
"If you come home and meet your brother, let him not waste time on me."
"No one has to be the one who needs it. Your brother is grumpy and arrogant. I can't chase him so stubbornly."
Although Jiang Li had always heard Zhao Lanxiang deny her relationship with her brother before, but for the first time she said so "unsympathetic", Jiang Li was taken aback.
Zhao Lanxiang brought out the fragrant dishes, and evened out a little to Jiang Li, completely distracting her attention.
"Do you want to try something? You won't be able to eat it when you go back."
Jiang Li smelled so fragrant meat, regardless of her brother's emotional problems. She quickly washed her hands and quickly scooped up the bowl of rice for herself. The white rice was cooked softly and chewed with a slight sweet taste, as if the rice cooked by Zhao Lanxiang was a little more fragrant than elsewhere.
The greasy bacon in the rice is fragrant and oily. The greasy and yellowish fat is as thin as cicada wings, as if roasted. The rice grains dipped in the dripping oily juice are all meaty.
This meaty incense is also mixed with the scent of exotic plants and trees, fat but not greasy, and the wonderful taste in the meat is integrated, which is extremely harmonious and fragrant and delicious. It was so fragrant and delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.
As soon as Jiang Li finished a bowl of rice, there was a feeling of reluctance in his mind.
When she returns to the city, where can she find such a fragrant meal?
Zhao Lanxiang said: "If your brother troubles me later, remember to help me."
"My ordinary people like this can't compete with your family."
Jiang Li heard that she was about to laugh. She hummed and said: "How can you say such an exaggeration and talk about an object? Do you still have to tear your face if you can't talk?"
She even wanted to say that her brother didn’t like you that much, but she ate softly and ate Zhao Lanxiang’s food for so long, and troubled people so many times. When she parted, she rarely softened. Zhao Lanxiang is different from her former friend.
Jiang Li patted her chest and said, "You can rest assured that if my brother dares to be so shameless, I will stand by your side."
Zhao Lanxiang was very pleased and picked two sausages to wrap up Jiang Li.
"You can take it home and eat it yourself. You can eat it by steaming it, but you can't leave it to your brother!"
Zhao Lanxiang, who is usually gentle and honest, rarely has such a stingy side, which makes Jiang Li feel a little contrasting and cute.
"Okay, I know."
She is not enough to eat by herself. She is a tyrannical character, and she can spare this meat for others to eat. But...the parents can still get a little meaty, and her brother doesn't have to think about it.
Jiang Li left a dollar of money for the meal, but Zhao Lanxiang didn't want it.
Before leaving, Li Li whispered and said, "I know, the pastry in the hands of the black market is yours, it's really delicious."
"But I will keep you secret, hum."
