Chapter 549(1/2)
Luo Xuan plans to buy a pig.
And we have to buy a lot, a lot of pigs.
The crops are like a flower, and the family relies entirely on dung.
The two acres of land behind my house, plus the planned development of barren hills to plant rubber trees.
Both require a large amount of pig manure and cow manure.
There is a lot of cow dung on the mountain, but unfortunately there are dozens of hills where cattle are wandering everywhere.
We really don’t have that much energy and manpower to pick up these cow dung.
In addition, there are many dung beetles, earthworms, birds and so on on the mountain.
The cow dung that the cows just pooped out. "Pa", it's very fast.
It was destroyed by these insects and birds.
There is no way. The area is so vast that we can’t even make the trip to collect cow dung.
Since it is unrealistic to rely on picking up cow dung as fertilizer, we can only settle for the next best thing: raising pigs!
Duo Duo raises pigs.
Fortunately, there are quite a few pigs in the village.
Moreover, they are all black-skinned native pigs, which are not expensive and the pork is very fragrant.
Due to breed restrictions, this kind of pig generally cannot grow too big.
in most cases,
When the native pig grows to 8 or 90 kilograms and weighs less than 100 kilograms, the mountain people will sell it.
Or they are kept for ritual purposes; during weddings and funerals, they are slaughtered and eaten.
Things are bought and sold here,
They only like to weigh individuals, individuals, and heaps. They don’t like over-weighing. In fact, there is probably not even a steelyard to be found in the village.
Even if it is famous, most mountain people do not know the front sight above.
There are even some old mountain folk who have always thought that the Han people used scales and weights to weigh things for sale.
Those are cunning Han people who are deliberately trying to trick people.
Bullying the mountain people for not knowing their names.
this day,
Luo Xuan took Zhang Xiaoli, Lao Min, and Miao Meisha to the village to collect pigs.
The number of pigs I bought is quite large, and the more people I can help with, the better.
It is very difficult for the mountain people in the village to get rid of the pigs they raise at home.
Now we finally have Luo Xuan, a big customer, who comes to buy a large number of local pigs.
The whole village suddenly started to boil.
All of a sudden, the people in the village were on their backs, and the chickens were flying like dogs!
This kind of native pig,
Just like the mountain people in the village: they are used to being free and loose, and they can't bear to be restrained. They are wild and ruthless!
Even though the native pig is not big, when it spreads its four legs and runs, it is much more agile than the mountain people.
Very hard to catch.
Fortunately, there is a wall in the village.
No matter how good these pigs are at running, they can't outrun those mountain people who have money floating in one eye and "smoke" floating in the other.
After a while,
The large bamboo cage that Luo Xuan brought over was already filled with about 30 wild pigs that screamed and banged against each other.
The production captain’s angry wife,
Early in the morning, they fanned out her three sons who were so lazy that they were about to be eaten by snakes; they snatched her two daughters back from other people's homes.
The whole family, men, women, old and young, went into battle together and mobilized themselves everywhere to catch pigs.
After she finally managed to catch all her pigs.
But I saw that there were already many pigs in Luo Xuan's pig cage...
see the situation,
Zhan Nu’s wife, who was disheveled and out of breath from exhaustion, couldn’t help but worry, for fear that Luo Xuan wouldn’t buy it.
So Zhanu's wife hurriedly asked, "Luo Xuan, do you want any more pigs? I have 5 more. I'll sell them to you cheaper."
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "Sister, why are you so polite? I don't have to buy other people's pigs. But can I not buy the pigs from my uncle's house?"
Madam Zhanu was overjoyed, "Na"
The five pigs in Zhanu’s family,
Two of them are sows, one big and one small.
The big sow weighs about 100 kilograms; the small sow only looks like 3 or 40 kilograms.
This time, Luo Xuan purchased Tu Zhu.
The price for a big pig is 60 yuan a head, and the price for a small pig is 15 yuan to 28 yuan depending on the size.
This price, if compared to the mainland, is considered slightly cheaper.
Because the pork sold at supply and marketing cooperatives and food stations in the Mainland costs just over 40 cents per pound.
The most popular pork belly sells for only 5 cents a pound in large pieces.
But to buy meat at food stations in the mainland, you not only need money, but you also need a quota of meat coupons.
Many urban working-class families can afford to buy meat. But it is not that easy to get meat coupons.
So Luo Xuan bought pigs this time,
The prices quoted here are considered to be on the high side. The price of meat in Liao Lao County is not as expensive as in the mainland.
No matter how poor the mountain people are,
All you need to do is carry a shotgun and go up the mountain. If you catch some prey, you will have meat at home.
Therefore, if the people in the village want to get involved in some meat and potatoes, they have to compare it to the production team members in the mainland.
It's still much easier.
This time 39 pigs were harvested.
After finishing the work of collecting pigs, Lao Min loudly counted money around him, smiled and discussed with the mountain people who were going to buy cigarettes, "Who has cattle to sell?"
This is what Luo Xuan asked Lao Min to ask for help.
After all, the mountain people were not familiar with him yet, and Luo Xuan was worried that they would raise prices on the ground.
Don't think that the people in Shankara are simple. They kill people, but their mouths are smaller.
But that doesn't mean they don't kill people.
Lao Dao was upstairs and heard what Lao Min said. This time, he didn't dare to pretend to be reserved.
He quickly stuck his head out and asked Lao Min, "Should I buy a big cow or a small cow?"
Old Min raised his head and looked back at him, "Of course we're buying big cows. We don't raise cows to make money, but we want to use cows to work and plow the land. You can't do that with calves."
"We'll talk about it later."
Lao Dao waved his hand, "You want to discuss such a big thing with them? After hesitating for a long time, I'm afraid these guys can't even negotiate the price with you."
Lao Min looked at Luo Xuan.
"You ask the people in these villages to help me take the pigs back home."
Luo Xuan said to Zhang Xiaoli, "And let them go up the mountain to chop bamboo, help build a few pig pens, and dig the manure pits.
Just keep an eye on them, if any work is not done well, I won't pay them."
"Okay! I listen to you."
Zhang Xiaoli and Miao Meisha said in unison, "This time, we have to ask them to help build at least 8 pig pens and dig 8 manure pits."
Miao Meisha, who knows better about the conditions in the mountains,…
He patted his chest and promised, "Just watch out, Luo Xuan. I will make them build more pig pens and dig more manure pits! Hey, what is the manure pit used for?"
People here,
They never use pig manure or human manure to water vegetables and fertilize. In their opinion, those things are too dirty.
How could it be used to fertilize crops?
