On the occasion of the Spring Festival, Tiancheng is rare to be leisurely, everyone is busy with the New Year in the past two days, he is busy in the pigsty alone, dozens of pig mouths are waiting for him to feed three meals a day! Tiancheng's daughter-in-law Lianying had asthma in her early years, and could not do heavy physical work, sometimes he had to breathe for a while when he arrived at the pigsty, and the doctor's advice was to rest more, when she was in the production team, she just did some light work, and after the package was delivered to the household, because her two children were small, he was alone in the field work, but fortunately there were people in the village to help, so he solved his urgent need.

After several days of suffering made his back ache and legs, when he sat down, he suddenly thought of the old saying "those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people", he suddenly felt that this sentence is too reasonable, manual labor can be regarded as a laborer, but if you want to become a laborer, you should be a leader and guide everyone to do it. He stared blankly at the fat pigs in the pen vying for food, and as if remembering something, he went to the hut and opened a drawer, took out his little diary, and wrote the following paragraph:

The key to making money at present is the market, take this year's pork price as an example, the price is more than a dime longer than last year, natural pig breeding is to make money, if the price of pork is not long but falling, then this year's pig will not lose money? So the market price is the key to how much money is made.

After writing, he fell into deep thought, he felt more and more that the market is indeed a good thing, if there is no Bu San to help slaughter and sell, he really doesn't know how to sell the pork and water in the back? It seems that if you want to do great things, you must study the market, and the market is the direction to make a lot of money.

Although there is a custom in the countryside that says "not out of the first month is the year", it is just a greeting from people, just after the first day of the new year, the new year will leave you, and you will have to wait for more than 300 days to come to you, so for rural people, just after the first day of the first month, the farm work will quietly begin.

Before the holiday, Zhao Yimin, who helped get the sweetness and was honest and honest, knocked on Tiancheng's door early in the morning of the second day of junior high school.

"Brother Tiancheng, I don't have anything to do in this family after the New Year, you also need a person to raise so many pigs, don't you? You see if I can help in your pigsty for a long time this year, give more and give less, you look at the give!" This Zhao Yimin is sixty this year, before the liberation of the landlord's house let go of the cow, and later became a long-term worker in the landlord's family, after the liberation because of poverty can not afford to ask for a wife, to Xiaowangzhuang Li family as a door-to-door son-in-law, people really do not say, never adulterated, as long as the village people need help, everyone first thinks of him, give him the nickname "Han Lao Zhao." ”。

Tiancheng, who was so busy that his back and legs hurt, saw that this "Han Lao Zhao" came to the door to help, and he was naturally happy in his heart, and said politely in person: "Look, I really have to have a competent person to help me raise, I am really busy all day, and things in the village are sometimes very tricky, if you come to me, I will not treat you badly!"

Han Lao Zhao was naturally very happy, and when he heard Tiancheng say this, he immediately said: "That's, that's, you see that from today on, I'll help you out!"

"Okay, this is the key, you go to the pigsty at noon to see what to do, anyway, you are familiar with how to do it last year!" Tiancheng said as he untied the key with the red head rope from the waistband of his trousers and handed it to Han Lao Zhao.

Han Lao Zhao went out, and Tiancheng greeted his daughter-in-law: "Today's day when I go back to my parents' house, you see that I am worried about how to feed the pigs? ”

Tiancheng accompanied his daughter-in-law back to her parents' house today, because she wanted to meet his two Qiao, Xu Yidao. He thought there was more to discuss with his two Joe. From the point of view of age, Xu Yidao is three years younger than him, but this Xu Yidao is also a literate person, he graduated from high school and was not admitted to college, when he recruited workers to do the work of the food station, although he was only a temporary worker, he did it with relish, exquisite and unique in the slaughtering line, although it is not so godly as Ding Ding Xie Niu, but it has also become a famous hand in the county, and in the city's slaughtering competition, he has won the championship of the city's slaughtering, since then, he has become a contract worker, and has become a person who eats the country's imperial grain. This was a good thing that many people dreamed of back then, and because of that champion, the county food company wanted to transfer him to the county to work, because the commune food station was unwilling to let him go, so he stayed. The idea of building a pigsty originated from this Xu Yidao, judging from the fact that he came to help slaughter before the Spring Festival, pig raising is indeed inseparable from this Xu Yidao.

From Xiaowangzhuang to Tiancheng's father-in-law's house is located in Liji Village, there are more than ten miles of land, it is more convenient to come and go, and it has become commonplace to go to relatives, since Tiancheng raised pigs, there is a lot less movement, today I remembered, at least a month did not go to this father-in-law's house to see, during the period when the father-in-law came to the house, he went to the town for a meeting, and did not see the father-in-law.

Today, I took my daughter-in-law and children to go to relatives together, and the means of transportation naturally became a problem, there was only a dilapidated bicycle at home, that is, a child sat in front, and there was no way for a child to sit in the car.

Tiancheng discussed with his daughter-in-law: "We will leave our son at home, let him go to our parents for dinner at noon, and next time I have the opportunity to take him to see his grandmother alone!"

Lotus is naturally a little reluctant, but there is no better way, a bicycle can only take the two of them, the daughter sits on the front beam, and she sits on the back seat, how can she bring her son?

"Discuss with Xiao Liang, he hasn't been to his grandmother's house for a few days!" Lotus said as she looked at Tiancheng with a soliciting look.

Tiancheng nodded knowingly, returned to the house, and said to his son who was lying on his stomach at the table doing his homework: "Today we are going to visit relatives, there is no way to take you, you can go to your grandfather's house for dinner at noon, okay?"

"I'll just cook my own rice soup and drink it!" replied the son without raising his head.

The son is sensible, and this tone is like a little adult. The son's name is Xiaoliang, the big Yunliang, when he was born, it happened to be the news that Tiancheng heard on the way to the commune to transport grain, so Tiancheng took advantage of the situation to give his son the name "Yunliang". This year, he is in the fifth grade of primary school, and he is also Lao Mu's proud protégé in school, and his academic performance ranks first in the class. Because of this, for children's learning, Tiancheng never asks much, what he wants to ask is not only the things in the village, that is, what he should do at the moment, what should not be done, manage himself well in order to manage this family, manage this village, and help his neighbors, this is what a village accountant wants to do.

As soon as she entered the entrance of her mother's village, Lian Ying got out of the car, and was busy greeting her mother's family standing on the side of the road, Tiancheng did not slack off, got out of the car, and hugged her daughter Xiaoni out of the car.

"Big sister is here!" shouted the sharp-eyed little sister in the courtyard.

"Look, brother-in-law, knowing that you are coming, I will kill chickens for you!" Xu Yidao turned his head and looked at Tiancheng and said.

"Thank you, brother, look what I brought!" said Tiancheng in response, pointing to the bamboo basket tied to the back seat of the bicycle.

The bamboo basket was covered with a towel, Xu Yidao only glanced at it, saw nothing, and said with a smile: "A towel, a bamboo basket, what is it for!"

Tiancheng smiled, took off the towel on the bamboo basket, and a boiled pig's head was presented in front of everyone.

"This thing is good, it's very hearty at noon!, I thought you'd bring you better food for everyone!" Xu Yidao continued to tease.

"Also, there is a big king eight below!" Tiancheng said, motioning for Lianying to lift the pig's head above, when Lianying lifted the pig's head, there was a wooden plank below, Tiancheng took the plank away, and a living turtle was frightened and retracted its head.

Everyone was amused by the turtle's movements, and the little sister immediately ran over and helped untie the bamboo basket.

Hearing the laughter in the courtyard, Ren Fanping, who was sitting in the hall and drinking tea, greeted him, this old man was over fifty years old, his body was very tough, he had studied in the school of Xiaowangzhuang before liberation, and Tiancheng's father also had a relationship, when the devil entered the village, he had led the way for the Eighth Route Army, and he was also an iron-clad man back then, and he had always wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, because the family was a single seedling, his parents resolutely disagreed, and he was taken care of tightly, and he had sneaked out, and was chased back by his parents looking for someone, so he failed to do so. According to the old man, he said with emotion: "If you participated in the Eighth Route Army back then, with your own culture and courage, you would at least become a leader, but the destiny of heaven is hard to violate, and the soldiers are not admitted, so you can only face the loess at home with your back to the sky!"

"Tiancheng is here, everyone is here!Let their sisters prepare meals, and let's go to the house to drink tea and talk!" said as he waved his hand and motioned for Tiancheng and Xu Yidao to come into the house.

"This year's year is really not bad for our family, how the crops in the field seem to have little to do with us, but there are only a few acres of thin fields, I heard that the pigs you raised make a little money!"

"Where to make a fortune, just to see the profit, but not to make any money, thanks to Brother Xu!" Tiancheng smiled and said modestly.

"Don't say it, it's your own work, anyway, I'm only doing a small favor. Xu Yidao hurriedly added.

"Look, look, it's so polite!" Ren Fanping said as he stared at the two of them.

"It's not polite, I always feel that these dozens of pigs can't make much money, and the price of pork has risen a lot this year, otherwise I can't say whether it will be a profit or a loss!" Tiancheng said bluntly.

"This is, I only thought about raising, did not take into account the sales, this year the country has a document to liberalize the price of meat has played a great role, so the price of meat has risen, it is naturally beneficial to pig raising, what will happen in the coming year, I can't say?" Xu Yidao knew in his heart that if Bu San was not involved, it would be Tiancheng's less than twenty pigs that should be slaughtered, and he didn't know how to sell them at a good price?

"I was thinking about this issue before I came, you see that this year, if you say that the country's policy is to liberalize the price of meat, if it is not liberalized, I will not make much money, and the next step is to liberalize the price, is it that the state will no longer care!" Tiancheng was a little puzzled.

"It's hard to say the next step, but if you talk about the market economy, that is to rely on the market, to give the simplest example, just like the jujube trees we plant, there are big and small years, big year, jujube harvest, harvest more, the natural market provides more jujube, if the sales channel does not increase, the market is saturated, the price is difficult to rise, but will fall, if the jujube encounters a small year, the price is naturally optimistic, and the jujube in our hands will naturally make more money, which is the market is swaying!" Xu Yidao drank ink for a few more years and ate the country's imperial grain, and what he said was really a set.

These words are also the question of Tiancheng's thinking, the market is the key, and only by grasping the market can we make money, which is the fundamental problem. So he took it and said: "I'm also thinking about this problem, this year's pork price is optimistic, it doesn't mean that the coming year will be good, maybe it's more raised, the price is down, and the pig can't make a few dollars, and it's in vain!"

"That's it, that's it!" the old man Ren Fanping nodded affirmatively.

"It seems that you two have really started a business at your doorstep, and you really talk about it!"

"These are national policies, the country wants us to be rich, and the next thing is how we do it, if we are still like before, blindly waiting for the division of labor in the team, then we can only guard the poor!" Tiancheng took over the words of his father-in-law.

"So if you really want to get rich, you still have to be like you, start to think about market issues, just like the jujube tree just said, there will be big and small years, big years can make money by raising pigs, what about small years, how should we deal with it?" Xu Yidao put a question mark.

"I'll raise more in the big year and less in the younger year, but this is difficult to grasp, so I've been thinking about this question, if there is a surplus of meat and it can't be sold, will it be like the current political textbook to pour the milk into the river?" Tiancheng frowned, and also raised his own question.

"Have you considered it, there is a clear difference between pigs and jujubes, the cycle of raising pigs is calculated in years, slaughtered every year, and there will be updates every year, and jujubes are not a year to hang jujubes, so the market of this pig should be better than jujubes, you think about it, if the price is high this year, the harbinger of low prices in the coming year is that everyone is competing to breed, then when everyone is competing to raise, it must be the high price of piglets, because piglets are not like jujube trees, and they can only be born by sows on the side!" Xu Yidao's analysis is very insightful.

"Yes, it seems that you are not only a cook in the slaughterhouse, but also a Lu Buwei in the market. Tiancheng deepened his understanding of the two Qiao in front of him, the two Qiao in his eyes turned out to be just a pig killing master, and he didn't expect that he still had his own theory about making money.

"This year's focus is not to raise, but to raise piglets, raise a few more sows, and you will take the opportunity to make money!" Tiancheng said in conclusion.

"Look, look, where is it, this issue still needs to be discussed by the two of you, and today I will talk about it here!" Obviously, the old man was not interested in their topic, so he changed the topic and stopped discussing those problems in the market.

In the latter words, Tiancheng seems to be just accompanying his father-in-law to talk nonsense, after all, it is just a casual pull of some common things, happy things, so he can't leave a few words, back home, he opened the small diary again, pondered the market repeatedly, and wrote a paragraph:

This year, the price of pork market has risen, which will inevitably cause everyone to rush to raise, and piglets will be in short supply, so I will feed more sows and sell more piglets, and the family will make the money they should make!
