Chapter 583: Sixty Things, Fine Factory Flowers (7)
After the logistics was done, Sister Tian accompanied her to the Finance Department to advance half a month's meal tickets.
Lunch at the farm is free, and the meal ticket is the proof of receiving the meal. You can make breakfast and dinner yourself or buy them with food stamps.
"Can you cook by yourself? If not, just go to the cafeteria to eat." Sister Tian pointed her in the direction of the cafeteria, "If you can, find a time to ask a male compatriot to help you repair the stove, and open your own meal instead of buying it from the cafeteria. Eat as much as you want to save money. But you have to figure it out yourself."
It’s hard to buy pots these days.
Xu Yin nodded: "Let's eat in the canteen first. I'll see if I can get the pot later."
She had nothing to do yesterday afternoon, so she also cleaned up the dusty kitchen and the smelly toilet.
A person cannot live without eating, drinking, and eating. Therefore, kitchens and toilets are indispensable.
The toilet can be used as long as it is clean and sprayed with deodorant. The only problem with the open-air toilet is that it is not only smelly, but also leaks air. It is better now when the weather is hot, but it is a bit miserable when the weather is cold.
She remembered that the country was supposed to be promoting biogas technology in the 1960s, so she would find an opportunity to test out what the director of the site had to say. If the bosses really had this idea, she would probably take over the job. It was hard work, but it was better than an open pit.
But this matter cannot be rushed.
The first priority is to tidy up the kitchen. Food is the most important thing for the people.
It is true that Sister Tian said that the kitchen is temporarily unusable - the stove has collapsed and the chimney has been built by birds. We have to find time to repair and clear it.
But she knows how to do this. She takes time to do it by herself so that she won’t trouble others.
Sister Tian wanted to go to the door to pick up the swill bucket, and said to Xu Yin:
"You go straight along this road to the pig farm at the end. You find Wu Yafen, she is in charge of the pig farm. I have to go to the door to pick up the swill, so I won't accompany you."
When talking about swill, Xu Yin couldn't help but said: "Sister Tian, wouldn't it be better to feed the swill directly to the pigs? The weather is hot, and I think the swill turned rancid overnight. Will the pigs not get sick after eating it?"
"Is that so?" Sister Tian looked confused, "Pigs are not humans, so they can get sick if they eat some sour swill? Oh, I have to go. Let's talk about this later. Anyway, you are raising piglets, so you don't need to feed them swill... "
Sister Tian left in a hurry.
Xu Yin found the pig farm along this road.
"Are you Xiao Xu? I heard Lao Tian say that a beautiful **** came to our pig farm. I thought she was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Wu Yafen, who was in charge of the pig farm, smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries before telling her about the work of the pig farm:
"The work on the pig farm is very hard. You need to cut pig grass, cook pig food, and feed pigs every day... You are responsible for the two innermost pig pens, with a total of twenty piglets..."
Xu Yin carefully wrote down what she said, then found the pig pen that she was responsible for, and went to see the pig group assigned to her. From now on, this will be our working partner!
When I saw the result, I almost vomited out the overnight roasted sweet potatoes.
There is a thick layer of dirt accumulated in the pig pen. I don’t know whether it is the pig food that fell out, the pig manure that has not been shoveled clean, or the skin mud on the pig...
In short, the stench is so bad that I can’t breathe without holding my nose. Oh, I can’t breathe even if I hold my nose...
No wonder Sister Tian said that, who can stand such a working environment?
I originally wanted to boil the swill, filter out bones, fish bones and other foreign matter, and then boil it with pigweed to see if the pigs would like it. For now, let’s clean up the pig’s living environment and her working environment.
Put the others aside first.
Xu Yin immersed herself in the work, first cleaning the pigsty on the opposite side, and then giving them a bath one by one. After washing them, they were put into the pigsty on the opposite side, and then she cleaned the pigsty with the strongest smell and the dirtiest one. Big pigsty.
Three days later, the blue brick floor showed its original color, and the troughs and sinks could be clearly distinguished. The sunlight shone through the washed wooden window bars, bringing fresh air into the room. The piglets, which exuded the stench of missing people, were huddled together and slept on the dry straw mat in the corner, feeling so comfortable that their bellies were in the air.
Xu Yin slapped her lower back and expressed with satisfaction: The work was not in vain!
The twenty pigs she is responsible for are piglets just born in April this year. They are only two months old. They were weaned last month and were taken away from the sows and raised together.
Even though piglets are small, they are easier to manage than adult pigs, but taking good care of them is also very tedious and tiring. Because piglets in the growing period need to be fed in small amounts and frequently, at least six or seven times a day, so they cannot starve.
If she didn't have magical powers, she probably wouldn't have lasted three days, she was too tired!
Three meals in the morning, three meals in the afternoon, and a midnight snack before going to bed.
…”
Pigs eat better than people and live better than people series!
The person in charge of the pig pen next door was a woman in her forties. She was surprised to see that after her new colleague Xu Yin arrived, she was busy all day long, carrying hundreds of buckets of water in and out of the well, and sometimes missing meals. Said: "Xiao Xu, what are you busy with? Aren't you just feeding the pigs a few meals? I see how busy you are..."
Xu Yin was also surprised: "Madam, you are responsible for the piglets, right? Feed them six or seven times a day, don't you feel tired?"
"What's so tiring about this? I boil a pot of pig food in the morning and hang it there, and feed them a few spoonfuls when they're hungry. And there's been a lot of swill lately, and the adult pigs can't finish it. You can also beg for some and mix it in with the food. A meal to replenish them with some oil and water."
Xu Yin reminded her: "Madam, swill cannot be fed directly to pigs, especially piglets. The gastrointestinal system is not yet sound, and they will easily get sick if they eat it."
"How could it be! I've been feeding them like this since I was transferred here last year. Isn't it healthy now? Pigs are not humans, so they can't get sick easily."
The aunt waved her hands disapprovingly, finished feeding the pig food, and slipped home to wash clothes.
Wait for the clothes to be washed and hung before feeding the second meal, then sneak home to cook and eat, then feed the third meal, and after feeding, sneak back home to take a nap...
Xu Yin observed and found out that the aunt was raising pigs as a part-time job?
But...she took the time to go next door and take a look at the pig pen that the aunt was in charge of, and quickly pinched her nose and returned to her own territory.
“So, you should be grateful for meeting me!”
When Xu Yin fed and watered the piglets, she touched their plump heads:
“Behind a happy life, there is always someone carrying a heavy burden! Do you understand?”
How can piglets know so much? They only care about eating and pooping but not cleaning.
Twenty little piglets, taking turns pulling daddy, is enough to keep Xu Yin busy for a whole day. With this, how can she still have the energy to study pig food and grow some pig grass?
This won’t work!
Xu Yin came up with an idea: since feeding pigs can be done on a regular basis, how can pigs pull daddy on a regular basis?
She decided to give it a try.
