After Liang Jinyu and Stone left, only Zhao Yun'er and Liang Jinqiao were left in the house.
"Yun 'er, only your aunt is living such a poor life in the family. Can you see if there's any way to help their family?" Liang Jinqiao asked.
She knew that Zhao Yun'er had a lot of ideas. Maybe Zhao Yun'er had a way.
Zhao Yun'er was silent for a while.
This group of people had a lot of ideas, such as giving money directly.
However, Zhao Yun'er knew that with her aunt's character, she would not easily accept charity from others.
Therefore, she could only help her aunt find a way to make money.
Zhao Yun'er thought for a while. If she opened a restaurant, she might be able to get more people to help her aunt.
Unfortunately, she was not even sure when she could open the restaurant. As for when she could ask her aunt for help, it was even more impossible.
I have to think of other ways to solve this problem. "
"Mother, why don't we let aunt raise pigs?" Zhao Yun'er asked tentatively.
Liang Jinqiao was a little curious, "Raise pigs?"
Zhao Yun'er nodded and answered, "Yes, mother. Raising pigs is much more comfortable than farming. Raising pigs is our own business. Aunt's farming is rented by the landlord. Throughout the year, most of the harvest is taken away by the landlord. Therefore, we can't make much money at all. However, raising pigs is different. Mother, think about it. The pork sold is eight copper coins per kilogram. A pig is more than 200 kilograms, so it can be sold for about two taels of silver. If we raise 10 or 20 to 30 pigs, we can make dozens of taels of silver a year. It's much more profitable than farming. "
Liang Jinqiao thought that raising pigs was indeed very profitable.
Many people in their village would raise a cart full of pigs. This way, they could kill them during the New Year and sell them for some money. They could also eat a lot of pork.
However, raising pigs was a very tiring thing. Therefore, a large family could only raise one pig a year, or at most two or three.
Zhao Yun'er said to raise so many at once. How could they raise so many at once?
Liang Jinqiao sighed. "Yun'er, it's not easy to raise pigs. It costs a lot of money to catch so many piglets. Besides, what do we feed them? Raising dozens of pigs all at once, wouldn't you need a very big place to raise them? "
Liang Jinqiao voiced his doubts in one breath.
In Zhao Yun'er's eyes, none of this was a problem.
Zhao Yun'er then explained to Liang Jinqiao, "Mother, you're right. Actually, we only need to pay for the first year of catching piglets. By the second year, we don't need to catch piglets anymore because our sows can give birth. Generally, when sows give birth, there will be more than ten piglets. In the second year, besides keeping some for ourselves to feed, we can even sell some piglets to make money.
As for what to feed the pigs, if we really don't do farm work and focus on taking care of them, we won't have time to gather pigweed and find food for the piglets. Pigs are not very particular about what they eat. When the time comes, we can just get them some rice bran and swill.
As for the place to raise pigs … we can only build a large pig factory with two or three houses. If we don't use brick houses, it won't cost much. At most, it can be built with three to five taels of silver. "
After listening to Zhao Yun'er's explanation, Liang Jinqiao nodded. Zhao Yun'er's words were indeed reasonable.
