Chapter 582: 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 stamp is the proof of receiving the meal. You can make breakfast and dinner yourself or buy it 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 food 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.
People cannot live without eating, drinking and eating. Therefore, kitchens and toilets are indispensable.
Clean the toilet and spray it with deodorant, but there is one problem with the open-air toilet - not only does it stink, but it also leaks air. It's better now that it's hot, but it's a bit miserable when it's 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 the field director's opinion. If the superiors really had this idea, the worst she could do would be to take over the job. It was hard work, but it was still better than an open pit.
But this matter cannot be rushed.
The top priority is to tidy up the kitchen first. Food is the first priority for the people.
Indeed, as Sister Tian said, the kitchen is temporarily unusable - the stove has collapsed and the chimney has been built by birds. We need to find time to repair it and make it clear.
But she knows how to do this, and takes time to do it by herself, so as not to trouble others.
Sister Tian wanted to pick up the swill bucket at the door and said to Xu Yin:
"You go straight along this road to the pig farm at the end. You look for 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 go with you."
When it came to swill, Xu Yin couldn't help but said: "Sister Tian, isn't it good to feed the swill directly to the pigs? The weather is hot, and I think some of 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 from Lao Tian that a beautiful lesbian 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 it to the 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 spit 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 mud on the pig’s body...
Anyway, the stench is so bad that you can't breathe without pinching your nose. Oh, you can't breathe even if you pinch your nose...
No wonder Sister Tian said that, who can stand such a working environment?
Xu Yin endured nausea, put on a mask, rolled up her sleeves, and decided that today's task was to clean the pig pen.
I originally wanted to try boiling the swill, filtering out bones, fish bones and other foreign matter, and then boil it with pigweed to see if the pigs would like it.
Now, let’s clean up the pigs’ living environment and her working environment first.
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 that had the strongest smell and was the dirtiest.
Big pig pen.
Three days later, the blue brick floor showed its original color, and the troughs and sinks could be distinguished which ones were which. The sunlight shone through the washed wooden window bars, bringing fresh air into the room. After twenty heads were washed, they were no longer
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 was responsible for were piglets just born in April this year. They were only two months old. They were weaned last month and were taken away from the sows and raised together.
Although 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 growth period need to be fed in small amounts and multiple times, at least six or seven times a day.
, in short, don’t starve them.
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 another 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? It depends on how busy you are..."
Xu Yin was also surprised: "Auntie, 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.
Eat 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 this way since I was transferred here last year. Isn't it very healthy now? Pigs are not humans, so they can't get sick so 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 dried 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, yue-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 piglets, taking turns pulling daddy, is enough to keep Xu Yin busy for a whole day. How can she 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 at a regular time, pigs cannot be fed at a regular time?
