I will plant a field in the last days

"What? Jingshu, what are you talking about? Say it again, my uncle just had a hallucination."

Jing Shu sighed and said, "Uncle, we will kill all these pigs in a few days." Jing Shu repeated it.

My uncle said in disbelief: "Why? The market for raising pigs is so good now. Do you know how much virtual currency a pound of pork sells for? I understand what you are thinking. Now that the red worms are extinct, raising them has become a big problem, but we Factory, if I calculate the profit from the insect feed, I can raise hundreds of pigs. Isn’t it difficult to survive until the end of the world?"

The apocalypse seems to be over soon, but it will get worse and worse in the future.

Jingshu stretched out her hand, which was the same as before the apocalypse, and grabbed a handful of red worms in the pond. After kneading and inspecting them, she shook her head and said, "Uncle, how long have you been raising red worms in this pond?"

"It's been more than two months. After knowing that the red worms were extinct, I have been serving them like an ancestor, and sometimes I even throw some feed in."

"It's been so long and there's still such a pond. Don't you think there's something wrong with their reproduction? The reproduction cycle of ordinary red worms is very short. It only takes three days from bacteria to eggs, and several days from eggs to larvae. I used to raise them When the red thread worms are gently rubbed, there will be a sound of the blisters being squeezed. Those are highly active eggs. You have very few eggs. I don’t need to elaborate on what that means.”

Few eggs and a low birth rate mean that the reproduction rate is extremely slow. The long cycle means that they cannot fish out half of the eggs for pigs to eat every day, and then grow a large number in a few days to become a continuous feed.

My uncle suddenly reacted and checked carefully, "I really didn't pay attention to this. I only raised a small pond at the beginning. I was very happy to see them growing up every day, but the speed was really too fast. If it’s too slow, the reproduction speed cannot keep up with the consumption speed.”

My uncle began to feel melancholy. He originally thought that by raising this pond of red worms, it would be able to provide at least a dozen pigs with daily feed. You must know that pigs waste the most feed among all livestock and eat the most.

"Then, even if the red worm pond is destroyed, our share will be at least hundreds of tons of red worm feed. This is enough to raise pigs. If we exchange pigs for rice and food, wouldn't we make more money?" Uncle said back and forth. I walked around the pig farm, checking this pig and that pig.

"Okay, uncle, let me calculate an account for you. You should know this after raising so many pigs. Just calculate it according to the minimum standard. A pig must be at least 3 kilograms per day without losing fat. We are not counting sows. The lactation period, pregnancy period, etc., a pig needs at least one ton of food a year. You said that if you use your current number of dozens of pigs, plus the rate of new pigs, your share will be full, which is enough to feed you for two years. .”

The uncle nodded, "Pigs can indeed be eaten. If they lose fat, they will lose money, so they must be fed enough to grow more meat."

"What about two years later? Add in the naturally bred ones and those slaughtered and sold midway. You still have so many pigs, but you have no feed."

"Maybe there will be other feed in two years? Or will the apocalypse be over?" said my uncle.

"So, what if there is still no one after two years?" Jing Shu asked lightly.

"If not, I can only kill them all and exchange them for something. But I won't lose money. I have earned at least dozens of pigs in the past two years. According to the current prices, I can at least exchange a lot. Food and stuff.”

Jing Shu shook her head, "But you have no way out, and you even lost money. If you kill these pigs now, you can get more in the past two years. Not only will you get dozens of pigs, but also You only keep breeding pigs and specialize in breeding piglets. The value of selling live piglets is much greater than the value of adult pigs, and you can save dozens of tons of food every year.”

"This food can provide you with these breeding pigs. After two years, you will still have a lot of feed left to continue raising breeding pigs for at least many years. Your live red worms can also be used for emergency purposes."

The uncle's eyes gradually brightened, "You're right Jingshu, we don't know when the apocalypse will end. If we make the worst plan and the apocalypse doesn't end, we will never be able to grow food. Piglets can be sold to wealthy businessmen at a price. You can indeed exchange for more things. After all, there are very few live pigs now. This can greatly reduce the risk. You must leave yourself a way out at any time."

Jingshu smiled faintly and didn't say anything else. Just think about it. She was afraid that for the sake of temporary gains, she would ruin her bright future. Pig farming did not necessarily need to be expanded. After all, in the future, people would have to live in large groups. They are starving to death, and there is no extra food to feed the pigs.

If my uncle expands his business to several hundred pigs in a few years, he will probably be the first pig to be killed.

But now he is asked to keep only two or three breeding pigs. As cherished and protected animals, the pigs must be left behind. The government can still see this clearly.

"Okay, it's only a few days away. Jingshu, I have to eat hundreds of kilograms of feed every day. My heart is so aching. Let's just kill the master today. It's just right. I'll find some more It depends on whether we can get oxytocin, there are dozens of pigs, we have to ask Wang Mazi to kill them together, otherwise we will lose so much feed for one day."

My uncle is also a resolute person who does whatever comes to his mind.

"Uncle..."

"Don't worry, you don't have to ask your aunt for your suggestions. No matter what they are, she will agree with them." My uncle turned around and smiled.

"Uncle, I mean you don't have to look for anyone. What if the news of killing so many pigs gets out? Food is tight now. What if someone makes trouble, robs, or takes possession by force? There are so many pigs in our house, and they are all mine. Killing, this way I will be responsible for killing the pigs, you will be responsible for cleaning the sewage, and we will try to finish it before my sister-in-law gives birth." Jingshu coughed and said, she always kills the master in space, and it is very easy to kill pigs in an absolute space. , but I have never tried it in reality.

She wanted to try it.

"Look, I forgot. You are very strong and must be a good pig-killer. Okay, let's go."

Jingshu started killing pigs outside for the first time. Her uncle meant to tie the pigs with their belly in order to prevent the pigs from struggling before death. "Uncle, don't bother me. I usually knock them out and kill them directly. You go first." Help with the preparations for boiling water."

"Okay, let's take our time and take our time."

This started after Jingshu sent her uncle away. After all, if there was an accident, she would be killed directly in the space. Dozens of cattle, sheep, and pigs were killed in the space. Jingshu was now sharpening her knife.
