After the pig farm was put into operation, a large amount of feed was needed to feed the pigs every day, so Liu Rui also began to put the expansion of the winery on the agenda. Pig farms and wineries are like two legs of one person, and only when they go hand in hand can they achieve common development.

However, before expanding the winery, Liu Rui had to sell the pigs in the family before he could empty the pigsty. In the past, when the Liu family sold pigs, they were sold to butchers in Qingyun Town, and this time was no exception.

On Qingyun's side, neither pig farming nor poultry farming has formed a scale, so each household is working alone, selling it piecemeal to nearby butchers or residents. The Liu family, who often sells pigs, has a relatively fixed partner, and it can be done with a phone call.

However, after the notice arrives, you are not sure that the other party will suddenly come to the house one morning, tie up the pig and leave.

For farmers, every time they sell pigs, it is a time to fight wits with the butchers.

The butchers naturally hope that the pigs have no stock in their stomachs, and they will be hungry for more than ten hours, poop and pee, and be clean. Farmers hope that the pigs should be just full, and the pig food will be sold at a meat price.

In such cases, the butchers often attack suddenly, and before dawn, they come to the door, and today is no exception.

In the morning, Liu Rui and Liu Jiahong were busy working in the winery when they heard Xiao Hei's cry from the courtyard. When he was young, Xiao Hei looked a little ruffian, lazy and unwilling to move, but it has gradually improved in recent times, and it looks like a family dog.

Liu Rui, who followed the sound, saw the butcher in the town, Lie, standing in the yard with a smile, looking at everything in the yard with interest.

In Qingyun, it is very customary to combine a person's occupation with his name, and it has become a very unique name, so that the other party's occupation is clear at a glance. This butcher's name has the character 'Lie' in it, so it is called Butcher Lie.

"Uncle, here!" With one kick to push away the little black wrapped around his feet, Liu Rui nodded to Zhang Butcher.

Tu Hulie is also a member of the Zhang clan in Xialiang Village, and he is a bit related to Zhang Guizhi, so according to the customs of the countryside, it is also very reasonable for Liu Rui to call him his uncle. In fact, Zhang Lie had already gone to Liu's house two days ago to see the pigsty and felt that it was very suitable, so he came over this morning.

Zhang Lie has been a butcher for half his life, and he has already trained a pair of vicious eyes, but with a sweep of his eyes, he can roughly estimate the weight of the pig, ** is not far from ten. Like the Liu family, these pigs are probably in their early 200s, which is the most suitable stage for slaughter.

If the pig is too small, the meat yield is not high, which affects the profit; The pig is too big for the Qingyun market to digest, and it is even more costly if it can't be sold out in a day.

Therefore, for a butcher, how to choose the right pig, is crucial!

"The yard is a little different from before, it seems that reading is still good!" Tu Hulie looked at the courtyard of the Liu family, nodded and praised Liu Ruidao.

In fact, the courtyard of the Liu family has not changed much from usual, but the verdant vegetables in the vegetable garden and the trumpet flowers on the bamboo fence are very vibrant, which makes people feel refreshed. While the courtyard that is still full of vitality in the late autumn season brings surprise to others, it also makes people look at Liu Rui with admiration. When the real reason cannot be found, people often attribute the amazing changes in the yard to Liu Rui's reading and learning more advanced planting techniques.

Of course, Liu Rui is also happy to see such a misunderstanding, after all, this can cover up the existence of Shennong's space to the greatest extent, and he can make a fortune in silence.

"It's just a small fight, it's not as good as your uncle, you have a stable income in the market every day!" Liu Rui smiled reservedly and said.

In the impression of the countrymen, most of the butchers are representatives of wealth, after all, the accumulation of more than ten years has made most of them a group that got rich first. When he was a child, Liu Rui was very envious of the butchers who sold meat in the bazaar, thinking that they could eat meat every day, what a happy life they should have?

In fact, the feeling of happiness when I was a child is always very simple, but the more people grow, all kinds of ** will follow, and the more difficult it is to experience happiness.

What is the saying? Unhappiness often comes from dissatisfaction!

"Uncle gets up early and is greedy for night, just to earn some hard-earned money, where is like you young people, your brain is active, and the world in the future is yours!" Zhang Lie looked at Liu Rui, who was tall and straight, and secretly sighed in his heart, the years are not forgiving.

During this period of time, the fact that Liu Rui has become an expert in getting rich has spread more and more widely, and even the people in the town have heard of it, and Zhang Lie is naturally no exception. Thinking that Liu Rui's income from growing vegetables for a month is equal to his profit for half a year, how can Zhang Lie not feel envious and surprised. However, envy is envy, Zhang Lie is also a very assertive person, so naturally he will not throw away his identity as a butcher and run to grow vegetables.

"I'm just lucky, maybe I won't be able to do it at any point!" Liu Rui stretched out his hand and invited Zhang Lie into the backyard and said, "Hello uncle, I sit in the market every day to enjoy the coolness, and the water flows for a long time." ”

Zhang Lie also knew that this topic was not easy to talk about, so he smiled, followed Liu Rui into the backyard, and came to the edge of the pigsty. Because it was still early, Liu Rui didn't have time to feed, and as soon as he approached the pigsty, the alarmed pigs got up and 'hummed' and screamed.

"Well, that's fine!" Standing by the pigsty and watching for a while, Zhang Lie nodded and said, "Go get the cage, you can weigh it today!" ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Lie's words, Liu Rui knew that he would be able to sell these pigs today, so he hurriedly turned around and went back to the warehouse in the front yard to take out the iron cage. Unlike in the past, when selling pigs, the limbs of the pigs had to be tied, now you only need to put an iron cage at the entrance of the pig pen, drive a pig into the cage, and weigh them one by one.

Liu Jiahong, who heard the voice, also went to the backyard from the wine shop to help, and as for Zhang Guizhi, he put the scales in the front yard and waited to weigh the pigs.

The pigs who were driven into the iron cage seemed to sense that their lives were in danger, and they were desperately struggling and screaming, and the scene was very miserable. However, Liu Rui, who was already accustomed to selling pigs, had no psychological fluctuations at all, and still carried the iron cage to the front yard as hard as iron.

After weighing, the pigs were tied to a hemp rope on their hind legs, and then tied to the yard dam, and waited for a while to finish before rushing to the town together.

The shrill sound of pigs pierced the sky, startled the frolicking magpies on the osmanthus trees, and spread far away to the quiet village below. In rural areas, the mere sound of a pig can tell the villagers what is really going on. In the past, when the peasants' sources of income were small, the pigs at home were the treasury, and after a year and a half of hard work, they could sell them to become new clothes for their mothers-in-law, toys for dolls, and new household belongings for their families. Whenever someone sells a pig, others will always talk about it with envy.

Today is no exception, the Liu family's move to sell pigs has made other villagers talk about it, after all, the Liu family's income has been rising recently, and they have become the leader of Liang Village. Now the Liu family has faintly become the vane of Liangcun's labor and prosperity, and many villagers are paying attention to their every move, hoping to learn some experience from it.

The Liu family and the Zhang family have made a lot of big moves recently, but they have strengthened the confidence of many villagers to increase investment and start a business and get rich.

After more than half an hour of busyness, the Liu family finally cooperated with Zhang Lie and weighed the six big pigs, a total of 1,359 catties from before, with a total value of more than 5,000 yuan. Liu Rui also kept a smaller pig, ready to raise it for a few more months, and he could kill the pig during the Spring Festival.

The Liu family has not killed New Year's pigs for several years, making sausages and bacon, Liu Rui misses the unique taste when he was a child, so he decided to kill a New Year's pig this year and enjoy it.

After Zhang Lie memorized the weight and value of these pigs, he drove the pigs out of Liu's house and returned to the town. In Qingyun, most of the butchers are on credit, and they will not pay the farmers until they kill all the pigs and sell them for money, and this time, Zhang Lie is no exception.

Looking at the back of Zhang Lie driving the pigs out of the Liu family's compound and flicking the bill in his hand, Liu Rui had a feeling of loss. Since he was a child, Liu Rui has become accustomed to seeing his parents raise baby pigs every year, and then sell them to become the tuition and living expenses of his three siblings. Now, when the last pigs are sold, the pigsty's historic mission will come to an end and it will be converted into a new winery.

In the future, I will never hear the snorting of pigs and pigs, and I will never see their cute behavior again, maybe this is the price of life progress.

Waiting for Zhang Lie's figure to disappear into the distance, Liu Rui cleaned up his mood, turned around and entered the courtyard, and continued today's unfinished work. He shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, he has really become a little sentimental recently, and he is sad at every turn, is it because autumn is coming?

The pigsty has been rebuilt into a winery, and the vegetable field on the side of the pig farm has also entered the right track, and will soon take over the position of the vegetable garden, and the function of the compound will be more dedicated in the future, and the future development will be more worth looking forward to.

Watching the whole family gradually change under his own hands, Liu Rui's heart is not to mention the satisfaction, now that the idea of going to college in his heart is very weak, he feels that it is good to develop slowly at home.

At home, do some work every day, tease cats and dogs in your spare time, or go up the mountain to get some game, Xiao Yuzi is quite moisturizing. In addition, Xiaoqingshan will soon be planned as a nature reserve, and Xiaojing Lake and the periphery of Xiaoqingshan will also become a tourism pilot area.

According to the information he got from Yang Zheng and his own judgment, Liu Rui knew that there were many opportunities in it, and he naturally couldn't give up easily.

Take the family's winery, for example, with a long history and unique secret recipes, which are the basic ingredients for success. Now that the price of the winery's products is obviously underestimated, Liu Rui is naturally unwilling to go on like this! After the opening of the tourist area in the future, Liu Rui will experience the experience of mining the brand value in it, increasing the added value, and selling the products of the winery to tourists from afar.

However, these terms are all things that Liu Rui has just seen from the book, and if you want to actually do it, you have to think about it carefully.

In short, the future is very bright!
