HLnovel Chapter 175 Piglet Castration
Chapter 175 Piglet Castration
The next day, Lord Sinong really brought his two little apprentices to live in Daliushu Village.
They brought their own food. Liu Daping's house was big, so he specially cleared out the east room in the yard for them to live in.
Zhao Qinghai was a man of action. After asking Liu Daping about the results of yesterday's discussion on planting sweet potatoes, he immediately took his men to Shen Yuan's field.
Prepare to cut vines and plant fiber.
Because sweet potato fields are exempt from taxes, every household in the village wants to grow sweet potatoes. In the interests of fairness, each household can only plant one acre of land.
Moreover, it would be best to concentrate all the land for growing sweet potatoes together, close to Shen Yuan’s wasteland.
However, these sweet potato vines belong to Shen Yuan's family and cannot be used by the villagers for free. After the harvest, 10% must be distributed to Shen Yuan's family.
This was all arranged in advance by the Agriculture Department. It was very reasonable and no one questioned it.
Seeing them start to plow the land, Su Wanwan directly took out the curved plow and brought it to the edge of the field.
He also contributed his own cattle.
"This, this, this...is this also something that Madam Shen came up with?"
Zhao Qinghai was so shocked that he didn't recover for a long time. He ran to the field, followed behind the cow, squatted on the ground and used his arms to measure the depth of the plow. It was simply unbelievable.
The plow is deep enough, it only takes one pass.
Not to mention him, even the villagers who were farming together were shocked by the curved plow.
Just changing the shape of the plow body has such an effect. What's wrong with the young wife's head?
They claim to be experts in farming, why didn't they think of this?
After using the oxen to pull the vehicle around for a while, Zhao Qinghai had the oxen driven aside and had human labor do the pulling. He even tried it himself, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
The production of this curved plow is more meaningful than the previous flail!!!
He could even imagine what a shock it would cause throughout the Great Xia Dynasty if this curved plow were popularized.
Su Wanwan was right there on the ground, and received another deep bow from Zhao Qinghai.
Of course there are rewards. Thinking of the rewards from yesterday, Su Wanwan spoke directly this time.
"Master Zhao, I don't want the fertile farmland this time. Can you give me a piece of wasteland under the eastern forest?"
There are ten acres of good farmland, but there are nearly thirty acres of wasteland.
She was planning to build a soy products factory there, so she didn't have to buy one.
Everyone:......
She doesn't want the good farmland but wants the wasteland. Is this young wife stupid?
That wasteland is not sandy land, but it is a real wasteland.
"Wanwan, you have to think about this carefully. You can't grow anything on that wasteland."
Aunt-in-law Zhang Cuihua was afraid that Su Wanwan would suffer a loss, so she immediately pulled her aside and whispered to her.
"Aunt, Shen Yuan and I have already discussed it. We want that piece of wasteland. We have other uses for it."
After hearing Su Wanwan say this, Zhang Cuihua didn't say anything more.
It's obvious that these two kids are prejudiced.
Zhao Qinghai thought about it and didn't agree immediately.
"Okay, after I report this, I'll let the county magistrate make the decision himself. Madam Shen, you are really amazing. Your name will go down in history."
Su Wanwan:......
I feel a little guilty about being remembered for my fame.
Well, the fictional era can also be considered her contribution.
What's more, it seems that there is no clear name in history who invented the curved plow.
Forget it.
The villagers were planting sweet potatoes in full swing. Su Wanwan would run to the pond every day to secretly add water. After a few days of observation, the villagers of Daliushu Village discovered that the water in the pond was really rising, and everyone was grateful to God for his favor.
Even Zhao Qinghai was amazed. Could it be that this Daliushu Village was really blessed by gods?
Perhaps this is not a gift to Daliushu Village, but a gift to the entire Daxia Dynasty.
In the past few days, a young man appeared in Su Wanwan's house. He was the young man rescued by Shen Yuan. His name was He Dong, and everyone in the village called him Dongzi.
He Dong was about seventeen or eighteen years old, a little thin, with a fair complexion and a somewhat reserved personality.
He Dong's blind mother personally brought him to the house to express her gratitude. Seeing that Shen Yuan was unable to walk and had difficulty walking, He Dong came to the house every day to help clean the pigsty these days.
Su Wanwan wanted to refuse but couldn't, so she just let him do it.
The pigpen smelled quite bad and she didn't want to clean it.
Seeing that Dongzi was diligent and worked efficiently, Su Wanwan thought about it and decided to give him 30 cents a day and asked him to build a toilet at home.
The adobe bricks had been made long ago, and Shen Yuan had built some before. It was simple, and this little work was nothing for a farm kid.
The toilet was built in three days, but He Dong refused to accept payment for the work.
Only after Shen Yuan yelled at him a few times did he accept the wages.
The toilet and bathroom have been built, and they are just waiting for Zhao Tianshi to make the porcelain toilet she wants.
Su Wanwan was reading a book on pig farming techniques that day when she saw something unspeakable.
It turns out that if you want to fatten pigs, you have to castrate the boars.
Normally, this work should be done a few days after the piglets are born. However, although this wild boar has missed the best time, it is not too late now.
But who should be found to castrate him?
Su Wanwan sent the child out and looked at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan's whole body tensed up. His wife had never taken the initiative to stay alone with him in a room, and he intuitively knew that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Wanwan opened her mouth, Shen Yuan couldn't help but clamp his legs together.
"You...you mean to say that raising pigs requires killing the pig's thing?"
Shen Yuan couldn't believe it. He had never heard of doing this in pig farming. It must be very painful.
Poor pig.
"Just tell me if you can?"
Su Wanwan was too lazy to argue with him.
Yes, of course not.
Shen Yuan cannot say he can't do something in front of his wife. He has to learn it even if he doesn't know it. He is omnipotent.
Isn't it just a dan?
He can do it.
Anyway, he does whatever his wife asks him to do, as long as it doesn't hurt him.
"Can you really grow fat just by cutting it? How is that possible?"
Shen Yuan couldn't figure it out.
"Eunuchs in the palace have never grown so fat."
Su Wanwan:......
Can humans and pigs be the same?
"The book says that castration can speed up the growth of pigs, reduce fighting, and reduce odor. We raise pigs this way, and a pig can grow to 300 kilograms."
Su Wanwan kindly explained it.
Shen Yuan was silent.
I couldn't help but squeeze my legs together again and mourn for Zhu Sheng.
Shen Yuan is still recovering from his injuries and cannot make any big moves. Su Wanwan asks Shen Zhao to go to the old house and call Shen Liang and Shen Su to help.
When they heard that the piglets were going to be castrated, the two brothers' legs went weak.
However, seeing that Shen Yuan was very calm, they did not dare to say anything. It was Shen Yuan who was wielding the knife, and they were just holding the pig.
Shen Yuan appeared calm on the surface, but he was panicking inside.
Although he had killed many enemies, he was a little scared when facing the two little piglets.
For men, taking someone's life is more abominable than killing them.
Although these are just two little pigs.
Su Wanwan was afraid of infection, so she took the blade and heated it over the fire to disinfect it before handing it to Shen Yuan.
Shen Liang and Shen Su held down the pig. Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and slashed with his knife.
The moment they fell, the faces of the three men turned black.
"If it can really make you fat and grow fast, then it will be worth it for the three of us brothers to do this."
Shen Su touched his head. Although he didn't understand, he felt that what Brother Yuan did must be right.
Brother Yuan and his wife are now the most popular people in Daliushu Village.
My sister-in-law is smart. She can even make farm tools. She must also know how to raise pigs.
So, the next day, the news that Shen Yuan's two pigs had been castrated spread throughout Daliushu Village.
Plowing the land with a curved plow
