Chapter 28: The Plague of Plague

After the exam, Mu Zhen, who warmed up at home for three days of scabies "annihilation war", went to school after breakfast, today is the day when the school issues report cards, although he is a little apprehensive in his heart, but he feels that the exam is very normal, and the usual test, there is no suspense, and his efforts this semester should be rewarded accordingly.

Mu Zhen's worries are not superfluous, according to Lao Mu's usual practice, if the test results are satisfactory, in exchange for the freedom and happiness of the holiday, otherwise it will be sunny and cloudy, and even stormy, there is no need to think about the joy and peace of the festival at all.

When Mu Zhen got the report card, he breathed a sigh of relief, except for the zoology he didn't like to learn, he didn't do well in the exam, and the total score still maintained the first place in the class. Mu Zhen read from Lao Mu's look at the report card that this year's results can be regarded as passing Lao Mu's level, except that the scabies on his body is different from last year, he can still have a happy Spring Festival.

Tomorrow is the traditional Chinese New Year, according to the customs of the countryside, the New Year is the prelude to the Spring Festival, this day every family eats dumplings, the adults begin to put down their work, busy to the bazaar to buy some New Year's goods back, ready to visit the relatives of the gifts, at this time the children at home after school are most looking forward to the fart to follow the adults to catch up with the market, all kinds of snacks and snacks in the bazaar attract them, for the boys, in addition to eating, is the firecracker market that can be heard in ten miles and eight towns is more tempting.

Today's situation, for Xiao Wangzhuang, than the bazaar is lively, the sun just passed the top of the treetops, from Wang Tiancheng pig farm from the "rumbling" firecrackers sound attracted everyone's attention, after the firecracker sound, it is the "howling" before the pig is killed. The whole village knows that Wang Tiancheng's pigsty is already preparing pork for the New Year.

People who heard the sound of firecrackers, as well as people who saw the notices posted by Tiancheng, came from all directions, and they all had a common idea, that is, to buy a piece of good pork as soon as possible, one to eat fragrantly, and the other to visit relatives and friends to save face.

In less than an hour, the crowd of onlookers gathered more than 100 people, there was a big pot of boiling water in the middle, the bottom of the pot was a little red due to the splitting fire, and the water in the pot was tumbling up and down, just like the spring water spewed out by the Hundred Ink Spring, and the water splashed everywhere.

The scene of killing pigs is the town food station "Xu Yidao", his real name is Xu Haiyang, because the pig killing is very neat, people give the nickname "Xu Yidao", Wang Tiancheng and he is two Qiao, the idea of raising pigs is still the two Qiao originally proposed, so today to come here to help Tiancheng, Tiancheng also wants to borrow his "Xu Yidao" name to put a formation, many people have heard of the rumors in the village "Xu Yidao" How is the craftsmanship, today is really an eye-opener, only to see the slaughtering knife in his hand up and down, like a skilled warrior dancing in the hand of the big knife, horizontal chopping, vertical chopping, cutting, up, after a while, a fat pig according to the front shoulder, leg meat, loin into several large pieces. At the beginning, people were amazed by the knife skills of Zhang San in Binhu Township, and now when they see the knife skills of "Xu Yidao", they feel that this technique is like the level of a monk and a disciple, and the level is immediately clear. People looked at the pork cut on the meat case, which immediately triggered a rush to buy, less than three or five catties, more than dozens of catties, and the meat on the case was sold out.

Wang Tiancheng saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, he was just busy bowing his head to collect money, and he didn't have time to take a look at the people who came to buy pork in front of him. Suddenly a person came out of the crowd, fifty years old, not tall, square face, big eyes, two thick eyebrows against the eyes slightly deep and old, many onlookers are no strangers to him, this person's surname is Bu, the third in the family, so the name is three, and its fourth brother together becomes "Bu San Bu Four". Don't look at the homophony of the name is not very friendly, people who know him know that this person's character is really good, and his brain is very active. He walked straight to Wang Tiancheng, put his head close to Wang Tiancheng's ear, and whispered a few words, Wang Tiancheng smiled and said nothing.

Taking advantage of the fact that "Xu Yidao" was busy slaughtering pigs, Bu San pulled Wang Tiancheng out of the crowd.

"Brother, your pork this year, except for the one that is sold on the spot now, I will underwrite all of it, as for the price, you see that as long as I make a little money, we can make a deal on this transaction." Bu San discussed with Wang Tiancheng in a low voice.

"You see, although I raised nearly 100 pigs this year, there were only 20 pigs prepared for the New Year, which may not be enough for me to sell myself? "Do you think this will work, in addition to my on-site sales today, the remaining pigs that have not been slaughtered can be sold to you as a whole, and the pigs will be on the market in the future, and you will be all responsible for sales, how about it?"

Bu San hesitated a little when he heard this, then took Tiancheng's hand and said, "Yes, but you have to borrow this place from me, and the master who killed the pig will also discuss it to help me!"

Tiancheng hurriedly waved his hand: "This, I don't count, if you want him to help, you have to discuss with him, I don't count this, you can only discuss with him, and if you want him to help, you can't help in vain, you have to pay him!"

"This will naturally be, you should say that it is a good person, see if you can ask how much is appropriate?" Bu San stretched out two fingers, hinting at something to Tiancheng.

Tiancheng naturally understood, and casually added: "Twenty yuan?"

"Yes, twenty-one days!" Bu San affirmed.

Tiancheng understands that these two fingers mean that he has half a month's salary for these two Qiao, which is suitable for taking leave to help these days.

At noon, the onlookers left with the pork they wanted, and the people in the nearby villages heard that there was fresh pork here, and they all rushed to cut a few catties to prepare the dumplings for tomorrow's New Year. At the end of the morning, "Xu Yidao" did not have a moment of idleness, and when the smoke of the cooking in the countryside rose, there were still sparse people who came to buy it from time to time.

"Xu Yidao" sat down in his spare time, lit a cigarette, picked up a cup and drank a sip of water, only then did he feel that his mouth was indeed a little dry, although this was not the first time he was so busy, but this was the first time he had helped others so much.

Bu San, who had been waiting on the side all morning, saw "Xu Yidao" sitting down, and immediately gave Tiancheng a look, Tiancheng understood, put down the cash box in his hand, and sat opposite "Xu Yidao".

"Look at you're busy today!" said and handed Xu Yidao a towel.

"It doesn't matter if you're busy, the key is that it's worth it!" Xu Yidao said with a smile.

"When we finished selling the first pig, the person I talked to was called Bu San, you may also know, he wanted to underwrite all my pigs, and at the same time wanted to ask you to help slaughter them, do you think this job can be accepted?"

This is something that "Xu Yidao" never thought about, pondered for a while and said: "It's a good thing to let him underwrite, so that you can wholeheartedly raise pigs, and the adult pigs will not worry about sales in the future.

"Of course, I've already mentioned this, saying that it's a help, and I have to pay for it, and it's not a help for no reason!" Tiancheng explained.

"I'm at work, earning extra money outside, and letting the people in the unit know that it's not a trivial matter, so I don't dare to agree to this matter easily. "Xu Yidao" said as he looked at the smoke rings he spitted out.

"That's not a thing, you come to help, it's also with me, I collect the wages for you, you just have to help, and then I'll give it to you in the name of a relative! "Besides, it's not a small amount, calculated by the day, at the end of a day, I will give you twenty, I think it is equivalent to your half month's salary, you just take a few days off, it is also appropriate!"

"Leave, how can this be done, he is busy here, I am also busy there, and it is even more difficult to say in the unit at that time, so make up your time at night, can you? I put on the electric light here, and I am busy until midnight every night, and the salary is also opened according to this number, I will discuss it, what do you think?"

"Xu Yidao" didn't answer, he may be a little moved, after all, he was busy for one night, more than he earned in the unit for half a month, why not, besides, after doing it here at night, it will not affect going to work the next day, he nodded: "You go and ask people if they agree, the two of us are wishful thinking, shaving our heads and picking hot heads, it's useless!"

"I'll talk about this for you, and you can leave the rest to me!" Tiancheng responded confidently.

For Tiancheng's words, "Xu Yidao" has no doubts at all, because he knows too well the level of this two Qiao, as long as this two Qiao wants to do, he will do everything possible to achieve it, just like this pigsty thing, this matter is just a casual topic at the wine table, I didn't expect that in less than half a year, this two Qiao can really make so much money to do it, and it is much better than he imagined.

Wang Tiancheng and "Xu Yidao" talked, sitting more than 50 meters away from them Bu San looked at it, but couldn't hear what they said, Bu San understood that Wang Tiancheng must be talking to this "Xu Yidao" for his own affairs Discussed, his many years of experience, no matter what the product, sell it to make money, in the early years he sold rat medicine, engaged in a small stall, did not make a lot of money, compared with those who only rely on farming for a living of the authentic farmers, life is better, he does not have much culture, the words on the side of the road can not recognize much, but when he was young, he saw a lot of big businessmen, he did not have much money, so the big businessmen did business, he could not make money, but he knew that only between buying and selling can he make money, in order to make himself profitable, he understands。

Bu San saw Wang Tiancheng get up and walk towards him, and he was sure that his guess was right.

"You see that this thing has really changed!" Tiancheng's short words made Bu San's heart suddenly cold, was the change Tiancheng said that there was a change in the business he talked about just now......

Before Bu San could ask, Tiancheng then added: "I told him what I said just now that you want to use him to help you slaughter, and you can't do what you said, but you can only come to us at night to work overtime, do you think it's okay?"

When Bu San heard this, he nodded: "As long as you come, with him, you are still worried that our pigs can't be slaughtered?"

"As for the wages, from six o'clock in the afternoon to twelve o'clock in the evening, or according to the wages you said, twenty a night, if you think it will work, this will be done!" Tiancheng said easily.

"Cheng, then from tonight, he will slaughter, and I will sell it at the market tomorrow!" Bu San is not a person who came over from the business field, he does what he says, and he speaks so neatly and refreshingly.

"Then you have to pay some deposit first!"

"Okay, how much to pay, the deposit can be less, and I will pay the balance when I sell it tomorrow." Bu San quickly agreed, and at the same time made a small discount.

Tiancheng felt that the man in his fifties in front of him would not talk empty words, although he did not have deep friendships, but judging from his straightforward personality, he was not the kind of person who was cheating around.

"Okay, let's just agree. I'm not going to slaughter it in the afternoon, it's up to you in the afternoon. Wang Tiancheng thinks that everything that should be bought in the nearby village is almost bought, and there is no need to slaughter it again, and then slaughter it to sell it in the market, and he doesn't have that kung fu, and there are dozens of live pigs to take care of at home, so how can he still be busy with this piece, so he took advantage of the situation to push the boat down the river and let Bu San in front of him continue to do it.

Tiancheng thought of the pig water and meat that had not been sold out in the morning, and then proposed: "The rest of my unsold ones will also be sold to you, if you think it's okay, find someone to pull them away?"

Bu Sanyi was stunned, and Tiancheng added: "The price is not a problem, you say a price, as long as it is not too outrageous, it will be done!"

Bu San saw Tiancheng so sincere: "The pork will be lowered by 15% according to your sales price, and half of the meat price will be lowered when it is launched!"

After the two agreed, they passed the remaining meat and water through the scales, and handed over the rest to Bu San to do.
