Chapter 129: Catching Pigs

Just do it, Erlang finished the work at hand, and in the backyard of Zhuzi's house, he carved out a vacant lot on the side to clean up the weeds, sand and gravel inside.

Then I borrowed two carts from the village, and some of them went to the ditch to dig mud and dig soil, and some went to the mountains to pick up stones.

The soil brought back is first laid flat and compacted.

The wall is more than a meter high surrounded by mud and stones, and wooden stakes are made on the outside and connected together with ropes to secure the wall.

Finally, a simple shed was built on top of it, and the roof of the shed was covered with straw to shelter the pigs from the wind and rain.

Taking advantage of this time, several people helped the pillar repair the house again.

After working intermittently for half a month, the pigsty was finally completed.

It's bigger than you think, and it's better than you think.

A few teenagers who used to be unprofessional looked at the results of their hard work and were proud from the bottom of their hearts.

"Brothers, celebrate!" Jiro shouted.

............

Half a month has passed, and the sales of dried sausages are very considerable.

Erlang opened sales channels in two more towns, and the silver distributed to Song Qingyuan was twelve taels.

This number will steadily increase as sales increase.

With the money in hand, the pig catching was put on the agenda.

On this day, Song Qingyuan, Erlang Zhuzi and others borrowed a board car and went to Sanlitun.

Wang Erxi's family in Sanlitun is a well-known professional pig farmer in Qingshi Town.

People from all over the neighborhood love to come to his house to catch piglets.

Song Qingyuan and others also came.

At the entrance of Sanlitun Village, two figures were standing there.

"Granny Zheng! Aunt Wu! Song Qingyuan beckoned warmly.

"Yuan'er!" The two of them walked over.

"It's been a long wait!" Song Qingyuan said with a smile.

"No, we'll only be here for a while." Widow Wu smiled shyly.

After a few words of greeting, the two of them walked towards Wang Erxi's house with Song Qingyuan and others.

Erlang dragged Song Qingyuan and whispered, "What's going on?" You found it? ”

"Hmm!" Song Qingyuan nodded, "We haven't caught pigs, we don't understand anything, I'll ask Granny Zheng and Aunt Wu to help me palm my eyes." ”

"When did you hang out with them?" Jiro was surprised.

What does it mean to mix together!

Song Qingyuan glanced at Erlang, "There is money exchange between us." ”

"What money is going on?" Jiro was even more confused.

Song Qingyuan smiled slightly, revealing his little white teeth, "I'll give them money, and they will help me raise pigs." ”

...... Erlang was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and patted his head, he was really stupid! Such a good idea, why didn't he think of it.

He has nowhere to go, but he has money! It's completely possible to find someone else to help him raise it.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Jiro said sadly.

"It's not too late to know......"

Wang Erxi's house is at the east end of Sanlitun, in a large bright courtyard.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see pigsties side by side on the left and right.

On the left is the big pig, and on the right is the piglet.

Each pigsty is separated by a wall and divided into several portions, which looks orderly.

"How many of you are here to buy pigs, or are you here to catch pigs?" Wang Erxi came out of the house.

"Catch the pig!"

"Catch pigs here...... Wang Erxi led everyone to the right side, "These circles are full of little piglets, thirty yuan a catty, pick by yourself." ”

Song Qingyuan looked at it, and there were seven or eight pigsty here, and there were five or six little piglets in each pigsty, adding up to thirty or forty.

And that's just the number of piglets, there are still twenty or thirty big pigs over there, and old sows waiting to be born.

No wonder Wang Xiaohu and Wang Xiaobao, the two brothers, said that Wang Erxi's family is rich.

"Granny Zheng, Aunt Wu, you can pick it!" Song Qingyuan gave up the place.

Granny Zheng and the two picked for a while, and picked out fifteen of the little piglets.

Five of them each, and five of them were brought out of the pillar.

"That's all there are fifteen!" Song Qingyuan Road.

"Great!" Wang Er smiled happily, but he didn't expect to meet a rich man.

Generally, the Zhuang family catches pigs, and they are two or three, two or three.

Song Qingyuan is generous, and he catches fifteen of them.

After earning money, Wang Erxi was of course happy, took a big scale, and weighed fifteen piglets.

"Do you count them together or separately?" Wang Erxi asked.

"Let's do the math." Song Qingyuan Road.

"A total of two hundred and eighteen catties and three taels, count you as a whole number, two hundred and eighteen catties." Wang Erxi said.

"It is ...... altogether"

"Six thousand five hundred and forty wen!" Song Qingyuan Road.

"Little girl counts fast!" Wang Erxi gave a thumbs up.

"Uncle, let's wipe it off, how about a total of six halves?" Song Qingyuan said with a smile.

"No, no!" Wang Erxi shook his head, "Forty texts are too much, this can't be erased." ”

"Otherwise, will your pigs knock it out?" Wang Erxi asked.

"I'll knock it on you for free, and normally you will be charged five cents."

"Knock?" Song Qingyuan was puzzled.

Granny Zheng whispered in Song Qingyuan's ear.

Knocking a pig is the castration of a boar.

In order to prevent the boar from estrus, irritable and accelerate the growth of the pig.

"Then knock it!" After Song Qingyuan finished speaking, he handed over the silver and walked out of the courtyard.

The scene of castration of pigs is bloody or not, she doesn't know, it's better not to watch it.

Song Qingyuan stood with his back to the courtyard, and from time to time the cry of a little piglet came into his ears.

Put your hands on your ears and plug them.

After a while, a few people came out with the knocked piglets and put them on the cart.

Wang Erxi followed behind and advised, "Don't feed the bran in the past two days, feed some water and vegetable leaves, and you can eat normally in two days." ”

After the group caught the piglets, they first returned to Songjia Village and sent Granny Zheng and Widow Wu back.

Three days ago, Song Qingyuan found Granny Zheng and Widow Wu.

agreed with the two that the pigs needed to be fed by Song Qingyuan.

For each pig that the two raised, Song Qingyuan paid 200 yuan for hard work.

Five are a tael of silver.

Then Song Qingyuan took out another tael of silver, "Second brother, you can help me buy some chaff for the three people who helped me raise pigs." ”

"Buy some more sweet potato seedlings and send them to Granny Zheng and Aunt Wu."

"Okay! Wrap it around me. Erlang responded happily, took the silver, and went to Xiaxi Village with Zhuzi and others.

Song Qingyuan returned to Song's house.

In the second room, Li was fiddling with his soap.

Seeing Song Qingyuan coming in, Li asked, "Yuan'er, is your soap horn sold?" ”

When he entered Song Qingyuan's house in the morning, Li found that the wooden mold on the desk was much empty.

"yes!" Song Qingyuan generously admitted.

The 200 pieces of soap that were newly made yesterday have been sent to the Splendid Cloth Village for sale.

The six pieces of soap that were consigned before, Aunt Zhao also gave the money to Song Qingyuan.

"Then look, why am I not okay?" Li was a little anxious again, and looked at Song Qingyuan for help.

The smile on Song Qingyuan's face flashed.
