Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 178
Gu Siwei joked and said with a smile: "What good news can you have, your father will not have a second child, right?"

Qiao Yitong laughed twice: "I don't want to say that, my dad is so old and wants to have a second child. It was my dad who found someone from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and asked for a few piglets from him. I thought so I'll send it to you in two days. Who would have thought that you would come today."

"Little pig? What pig?" Gu Siwei asked.

Comrade Qiao Yi said: "What kind of pigs are there? I really want to get imported large white pigs for you, but I don't have the skills. Which one from Eastern Europe is not a treasure?"

Gu Siwei said, "What's so good about that thing?"

Even though he said that, Gu Siwei knew that these big ocean pigs are really a good helper to solve the problem of Chinese people eating pork. It looks like four or five catties.

The most critical thing is time. It takes about a year to a year and a half for local native pigs to grow to [-] catties, while these imported pigs can grow to this weight in eight months. Think about how big an advantage this is. .

It is precisely because of this that imported large white pigs are the most sought-after products, while native pigs are not valued very much.

Waiting for everyone's living conditions to improve and realize the freedom to eat pork, they can pursue the taste, so the local pigs made a comeback and began to occupy the mid-to-high-end market.

"Why is it not good? Meat grows fast and feeds less. These are all advantages. They are much better than our local pigs," Qiao Yitong said.

"Now you think so, maybe you won't think so when you arrive later," Gu Siwei said casually.

"No matter when, everyone must eat pork. At the current speed, with these imported pigs, we estimate that we will not be able to achieve pork that everyone can eat in 50 years. There are too few of these breeding pigs," Qiao Yitong said.

Gu Siwei chuckled after hearing this: "50 years?! Hehe".

"What?" Qiao Yitong asked.

"It's okay, as long as you are happy, you have been free to eat pork for 50 years, and you look down on us too much," Gu Siwei said happily.

Comrade Qiao Yi said: "50 years is not bad. Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. Master, you are also engaged in technology. How far do you think we can be compared with foreign countries in the field of machine tools? I think we and others The gap is at least 50 years".

"Ok".

Gu Siwei nodded, but nodding does not mean that Gu Siwei agrees with Qiao Yitong's statement. The current technology has not yet reached the point where it will be abnormal in the future. In fact, if the direction is right now, the gap can still be caught up, because the current domestic consumption The ten years that have been lost are exactly the ten years when the outside world is changing with each passing day. It can be said to be the golden ten years.

We have wasted, not only a lot of scientific and technological personnel, but also a generation of young people, but what can we do, Gu Siwei can't decide.

He is just a small person, following the wheel of history, not to mention that he has nothing to do with the brakes, let alone changing, it is good to be able to toss himself well.

It doesn't make sense to compete with Qiao Yi in this matter. Qiao Yi is in his twenties with vigorous spirit, and his patriotism is hot. Gu Siwei is considered a veteran of society. There is no need for that.

"Where's the pig?"

Gu Siwei asked.

Comrade Qiao Yi said: "It's placed over there in the cafeteria for someone to help, why do you want to see it now?"

"Anyway, is it okay to go and have a look?"

Gu Siwei was very happy. He had always wanted to get some local pigs to raise, but he didn't expect Qiao Yitong to memorize the words and find them for himself.

From this point of view, this apprentice is not in vain, he is really thinking about himself.

Gu Siwei didn't know, the father and son of the Qiao family had been worrying about how to give Gu Siwei something. This was not because Qiao Qisheng suddenly jumped a level, almost crossing the threshold of the most important level in his officialdom, although these days, Qiao Qisheng is very stable now, but the excitement in his heart is hard to explain to outsiders.

Gu Siwei was responsible for this matter. Of course, they didn't know that the big shoplifting case was actually related to Gu Siwei.But just because Gu Siwei was able to save Qiao Yitong, Qiao Qisheng's only son, it would not be an exaggeration to thank Gu Siwei, even though Gu Siwei had provoked it.

But talking about anything else at this time is all nonsense, and Qiao Qisheng had to admit that this matter had hit the best result by mistake.

How can I thank you?Qiao Qisheng really couldn't figure it out, before, he could send some dishes and tableware, but now he can't take out these things.

As a result, Qiao Yitong remembered that Gu Siwei wanted to raise native pigs.

This matter is a bit difficult for Gu Siwei, but it is not difficult for Qiao Qisheng, because many factories now have canteens. , it is inevitable that there will be people who dislike this one and discard that one, so raising pigs with leftovers is almost a job in the canteen of any factory.

Even Qiao Yitong felt that it was a bit embarrassing to only give some piggies, and asked someone to get a dozen lambs, which were a well-known breed of black goats in China, but the matter had not yet been finalized, and Qiao Qisheng would not and son said.

"Don't go now, if you go again tomorrow, the pig won't run away. Oh, by the way, Master, why are you here this time?"

Qiao Yitong knew Gu Siwei too well. The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, he must have something to do, especially when he came again in less than two weeks.

Gu Siwei whispered something about the village.

"Is there really a mountain god?" Qiao Yitong began to ponder.

"There's a fart!" Gu Siwei said with a smile: "If there is a mountain god, the little devil can still fight in?"

Qiao Yitong listened to the music and said: "That's true!"

At this moment, only a grunt was heard.

Qiao Yitong held his stomach and said to Gu Siwei, "Master, please order me, I haven't eaten yet."

"Another day?" Gu Siwei asked with a slight frown.

"No, I had a meal in the morning, and someone brought me two steamed buns from the cafeteria with pickles."

"Then you are happy, you brought good things today."

Speaking of which, Gu Siwei opened the basket, and took out a piece of marinated wild goat meat from it, which had been processed and served with heavy salt. Otherwise, Gu Siwei would take out a piece of fresh mutton from the basket in such weather. Even a fool has to doubt it.

Cut off a large piece of mutton, cut fat and thin into soybean-sized dices, boil it in water first, cook the meat until soft, add the ingredients and fry it for a while, add water and pour it to collect the juice, and it becomes noodles.

It's not that Gu Siwei wants to make noodles, but that this kid has nothing but noodles at home.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei brought some meat, so it didn't take much effort to make a marinade or something, so the two of them held the bowl, sat directly by the pot, and started to suck up while cooking the noodles.

While eating, the noodles in the bowl were finished, and the noodles in the pot over there were cooked again.

The two of them were eating when they suddenly heard someone knocking at the door.

"Brother Yitong, open the door, I have something to do with you."

Hu Yanqiu was actually outside the door.

Gu Siwei opened the door with a bowl in hand.

"Why is it you?" Hu Yanqiu was taken aback, and an expression of joy immediately appeared on his face: "I was just looking for you."

"Why are you looking for me, am I so popular?" Gu Siwei smiled.

Open the door and let Hu Yanqiu in.

As soon as Hu Yanqiu entered the room, he sat down in Gu Siwei's original position, stretched out his head and sniffed the mutton stew on the small bench.

"It's so fragrant, give me a bowl too."

After finishing speaking, he was not polite, took the bowls and chopsticks, took the noodles out of the pot, poured marinade on them and started to suck them up.

So, instead of two people eating noodles, it was changed to three people eating.

I ate it for almost half an hour. There was nothing I could do. The three of them ate and all of them could eat at this time. The three of them ate two and a half tubes of dried noodles.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a big tube of one kilogram. At this time, a tube of dried noodles is [-] grams, which means that three people ate two and a half catties of dried noodles.

When he was full, the stew had bottomed out, Qiao Yitong didn't let go of the last pot of stew, added a little noodle soup and sucked it into his stomach.

Hu Yanqiu said contentedly: "It's still comfortable to eat with you."

Qiao Yitong nodded and agreed: "That's for sure, good craftsmanship. Better than the cooks in our cafeteria. It's a pity, if only I could be a cook in a small cafeteria, I'll have something to eat every day."

Gu Siwei didn't want to talk to him.

"By the way, what can you do with me?"

Hu Yanqiu said: "What else is there? Didn't I say that I want to pickle pickles? I have already bought pickles. I was thinking of coming over and let Brother Yitong inform you. I will go to your place in a few days and let Mr. Tao teach I pickle pickles".

Gu Siwei almost forgot about it, but she didn't expect her to remember it.

Just marinate it, Gu Siwei doesn't care, anyway, those big tanks are still empty now.

I asked casually, "How much food did you buy?"

Another sentence was added: "the dish of pickled pickles".

"I bought twenty catties!"

Hu Yanqiu looked excited.

Gu Siwei was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, and he opened his mouth and said with certainty: "You said twenty catties?"

"Well! A full twenty catties."

As he spoke, Hu Yanqiu deliberately raised two fingers.

"Good guy! Twenty catties, so much?"

Gu Siwei teased Hu Yanqiu a little bit weirdly.

"Why, more or less?" Hu Yanqiu couldn't tell, but she hadn't marinated this thing before, so she didn't know how much, she thought twenty catties would be enough.

"Twenty catties is not enough, it's far from enough. How many jars do you think twenty catties can hold?"

"Such a big jar".

Gu Siwei gestured.

"Why use such a big jar?" Hu Yanqiu didn't understand.

"It's not enough to pickle even if it's too small, so why don't you just use a small pot and sprinkle some salt on it?" Gu Siwei said casually.

Gu Siwei built a big tank because he wanted to pickle sauerkraut. He just took a bite of it. In winter, he grabbed a handful of sauerkraut, fried it to taste, and added beef or beef to stew it.

After it was stewed, it was placed in a small pot, and the charcoal was simmered under it. With rice, Gu Siwei could eat four or five bowls of rice in one go.

"I can't transport it too much. Otherwise, you can take it back by bicycle. Oh, by the way, you can ride a mule, which is better," Hu Yanqiu said.

"What's the matter, I came here today by riding No. 11, and I don't have a mule. How can I borrow a mule when the village is busy at this time?" Gu Siwei said.
