Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Pig Pellets ( 1 )
After notifying his wife, Li Chenmo and Han Yuheng went to transport the piglets. The bamboo basket can hold five piglets, and three piglets can be held in the arms. Han Yuheng and the young man each held three piglets. At one time, they can carry 14 piglets at the same time. So, in just two trips, they moved all the piglets into the pigpen.

When they were done, the young man took out a document and a pen from his pocket. He handed it to Li Chenmo and said, “Comrade, you need to sign this document.”

Li Chenmo took the document, read it over, and signed it after finding no problems. He handed the document back to the young man and said, “Comrade, my wife has prepared some snacks and tea. Come and rest for a while before you go back.”

The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, “Thank you, comrade. Then I won’t be polite.”

Li Chenmo led them across the bamboo bridge and entered from the backyard. When Han Yuheng and the young man saw the vigorously growing cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and cantaloupes, their eyes widened in surprise. It’s still spring but the vegetables are ready for harvest.

When Han Yuheng was still hesitant about whether to ask Li Chenmo how they did this or not, the young man had no such reservations. He looked around excitedly and asked, “Comrade, how do you grow the vegetables? It is spring now yet your vegetables are ready to be harvested.”

Li Chenmo didn’t mean to hide anything and said, “These vegetables were planted in late winter, and it is indeed time to harvest them. But they grow so well because we use our pig manure as fertilizer.”

The young man thought for a while and said, “The pig farm of the brigade also uses pig manure as fertilizer for the crops and vegetables, but the effect is not as good as yours.”

“My wife and I only learned about this recently. Maybe it’s because the pig feed we prepared is different from the usual pig feed, so the pig manure is slightly better.” Li Chenmo said thoughtfully.

The young man’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Comrade, can you share your pig feed formula? I want to report this to the brigade secretary. If the effect of pig manure is indeed related to pig feed, then we may be able to increase production. In this way, you will make a great contribution to the country and will be rewarded.”

Li Chenmo nodded and said, “I told the brigade secretary before that my wife and I are looking for better pig feed to increase the pig’s weight. So of course we will hand over the pig feed formula after we find the best ingredients. As for the pigs manure, it is just an extra benefit that we didn’t expect.”

The young man listened to his words and was very happy. Since even pig manure has a good effect, their pig feed can definitely increase the weight of pigs. It looks like they may be able to solve the meat shortage this year.

While talking, they came to the living room. When they entered the room, Lu Jueyu had already returned to the bedroom after she placed a pot of tea on the brazier and a plate of biscuits on the table. Since the guests were all men, she did not come out and let her husband entertain the guests.

After they finished the biscuits and tea, Li Chenmo opened the cabinet in the living room and took out two cans of biscuits. He handed it to Han Yuheng and the young man, and said at the same time, “Comrade, team leader, thank you for your help today.”

Everyone knows that taking bribes is prohibited, but accepting small gifts such as food or drink is allowed. So they took the biscuits, thanked Li Chenmo and left.

After locking the gate, Li Chenmo came to the bedroom and saw his wife writing something on a piece of paper. He looked closer and saw that it was the recipe for pellets.

He kissed her earlobe and asked, even though he knew the answer, “Wife, what are you writing?”

Lu Jueyu was tickled by his kiss, squirmed a little, and said, “Husband, stop messing around. I’m writing the pig feed formula and pellets to the brigade secretary. ”

Li Chenmo kissed her earlobe again and asked, “Can the current technology produce the pellets?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “It should be no problem. In fact, the ingredients are similar to ordinary pig feed. The only difference lies in the process of compressing the ingredients into pellets. Since the pellets are processed at high temperatures, they are healthier for pigs.”

If she remembered correctly, the pellet machine was first produced in California in 1931. In the 1960s, Huaxia introduced the first pellet machine from the British UMT Company. In the process of continuous absorption and research, Huaxia finally manufactured the first pellet machine in 1970.

Since she could not provide too detailed information, Lu Jueyu just wrote down the ingredients and let the government find a way to make them into pellets. As for Li Lingyun’s pig farm, she planned to use pellet feed instead of crushed pig feed from the beginning.

After writing the materials, she handed the piece of paper to Li Chenmo and said, “Husband, this is the ingredients. It can also be used as pig feed, but the effect will be better if it is made into pellets.”

Li Chenmo took the paper and said, “I’ll give it to the brigade secretary the day after tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu asked, “Husband, aren’t you planning to hand it over to Han Yuheng?”

He looked at his wife, patted her nose, and said, “Instead of benefiting him, why not benefit us? Maybe we will get some money as a reward.”

Thinking about Han Yuheng’s character setting in the original novel, Lu Jueyu agreed with her husband’s words.
