Zhenhua's family has now raised a circle of pigs, a total of five, which are about to be slaughtered.

Yilan plans to buy ten more piglets and raise them until the end of the year, and next spring, they will have money to buy tractors.

At dinner, Yilan reported her plans to her parents-in-law.

"Buy, just do what Yilan said!" Zhao Chenghai was very supportive of his daughter-in-law's plan.

The son and daughter-in-law worked hard to get rich, and Zhao Chenghai had no reason not to support it.

Moreover, Yilan's scientific pig breeding is indeed very effective, and Zhao Chenghai is also convinced. Zhao Chenghai used to raise pigs, usually slaughtered in a year. Yilan adopts the scientific pig breeding method, with corn and soybean meal as the main feed, and the pig raising speed is very fast, and half a year is enough.

In the spring, the family's biogas digester also starts to produce gas. Now you can use biogas to light the lamp to boil water, stir-fry vegetables and make porridge, and you don't have to worry about the problem of not enough grass in the pot.

Zhenhua suggested: "I see that there are five pigs in the family, and the youngest one is also 200 catties, so sell it first, right?"

Zhao Chenghai smiled proudly and said, "You don't have to worry about selling pigs, I'll fight with Wang Xiang." He is a cunning man, and you can't fight him. ”

Zhenhua frowned: "He took the money to buy pigs, and I sold pigs to get money, fair trade, why do I have to fight? Could it be that Uncle Xiang will do things on the big scale?"

Zhao Chenghai smiled gloomily: "You know a fart!" Wang Xiang looks honest, but in fact, he has a set. If you go and tell him to sell pigs, he will tell you that there will be no shortage of pigs in these two days, and that you will buy them in seven or eight days. Then, he came the next morning and hit you with a surprise attack, so that you didn't even have time to feed the pigs!"

Fat pigs in the countryside are slaughtered, and there are two prices.

One is the price of satiety, no matter how the owner feeds, and the other is the price of fasting, which is weighed early in the morning, before feeding the pigs.

The price of a full stomach is lower, and the price of an empty stomach is higher.

But people's hearts are uneven, and the people who sell pigs usually get up early and secretly feed the pigs and feed them half-full. When the pig killer comes to the door, the proprietor will say that it is a hungry pig and that it will be sold at an empty price.

Wang Xiang, as a senior pig slaughterer, naturally has his own routines. He usually releases smoke bombs, saying that he can't buy them these days, so that the owner can relax his vigilance. Then, the next day, it will suddenly attack and kill in front of your house early in the morning, so that you don't have time to cheat;

Moreover, after Wang Xiang came to the door, he would never be in a hurry to weigh up, but pulled gourds and melons with the owner, beat up the pigs in the pen, and let them go around and excrete. In this case, when you overweigh, you will lose some catties.

Zhao Chenghai and Wang Xiang have been next door for many years and are familiar with Wang Xiang's routines.

Zhenhua listened to his father's explanation and couldn't cry or laugh.

It's just a pig, why do you have to fight wits and courage, just like a palace fighting play? It's really boring and miserable!

Zhao Chenghai was confident, and said to his son: "You go and tell your uncle about selling pigs, and see how he answers you!"

"Okay, I'll talk after dinner. Zhenhua nodded.

After dinner, Zhenhua was not busy taking a bath, and came to find Wang Xiang next door first.

Sure enough, Wang Xiang scratched his scalp and said, "Selling pigs? I just promised Lan Yushu from Xiaogezhuang to buy his family's four pigs in the next two days." Zhenhua, if you're not in a hurry, just wait, in about seven or eight days, I'll buy your pigs......"

Zhenhua admired his father's clever calculation, couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry." ”

Back at home, Zhenhua told Wang Xiang's words to his father.

Zhao Chenghai laughed, waved his hand and said, "If he doesn't come tomorrow, he will come the day after tomorrow." You don't have to worry about it, I'll fight him. ”

Zhenhua despised his father's behavior, frowned, and said, "How to fight, are you going to secretly feed the pig pit people?"

"Who cheated him? He bought my pigs and didn't make money?" Zhao Chenghai glared.

Zhenhua shook his head, turned around and went back to the bedroom to take a bath.

Zhao Chenghai immediately got ready, boiled a pot of glutinous rice on the biogas stove with a large steel pot, and then set it aside to cool.

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhao Chenghai secretly got up, came to the kitchen, and didn't turn on the lights, just stirred glutinous rice and pig feed in the starlight, and added a pound of brown sugar.

After mixing, Zhao Chenghai kneaded the feed into a ball with his hands, all the size of a fist, mentioned the side of the pigsty, and rolled into the pigsty one by one.

The five pigs smelled the aroma and immediately enjoyed it without saying a word. Brown sugar was added to the feed, and those fat pigs became more and more fragrant the more they ate, one bite at a time.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Chenghai secretly fed seventy or eighty catties of mixed feed.

The cheating was completed, and Zhao Chenghai went back to the room to sleep. The pigs ate the rice balls and slept soundly.

As soon as it was dawn, Wang Xiang knocked on the door outside and shouted, "Zhenhua open the door." ”

Zhenhua was woken up, opened the door in slippers, and asked, "Why is Uncle Xiang so early?"

"I'm here to buy your pigs. Wang Xiang grinned and squeezed in.

Zhenhua laughed in his heart and asked deliberately: "Last night, didn't Uncle Xiang say a few days, why did he come today?"

Wang Xiang was not embarrassed and said: "I thought about it last night, the pigs of the Tugong Snake family are not big, and they can be raised again, so I will buy your pigs first." ”

Zhenhua nodded: "Oh, so that's the case." ”

Zhao Chenghai walked out of the bedroom with his pants up, frowned, and said: "Uncle Xiang, you are doing a surprise attack, I knew that you would come to buy pigs today, and I will secretly feed a little at night!"

"Hahaha, you can feed it now, feeding is the price of feeding. Wang Xiang smiled smugly, and walked to the backyard to see the five pigs.

Five pigs were also sleeping, snoring loudly.

Zhao Chenghai accompanied Wang Xiang to stand in front of the pig pen and said with a smile: "This beast, the sound of has caught up with his uncle!"

Wang Xiang nodded: "Yes, the sound of caught up with me." But Brother Chenghai, you are also pitiful, you have eaten for decades, and you are not as good as these beasts. ”

Zhao Chenghai grinned: "Don't talk nonsense, make a price!"

"Why are you panicking about the offer? When you and Cuihong's sister-in-law get married, you have to go on a blind date first, right?" Wang Xiang took out his own routine, beat all five pigs first, and examined them one by one.

After watching it for a long time, Wang Xiang frowned and said, "This pig's belly...... It's a little big, are you feeding the pigs at night?"

Zhao Chenghai glared and shouted: "What kind of nonsense did he say Uncle Xiang? I know you came to buy pigs today and secretly feed them at night? The pig's belly is big, it is sincere, and there are goods in the belly, and they are all plate oil! I am raising pigs scientifically, which is different from others!"

Wang Xiang thought about it, and then made a price: "Two hundred and five cents, we are next door, and it doesn't matter if we give you less." The day before yesterday, I went to Nanma Village to buy pigs, and I only gave 200 yuan a load. ”
