Chapter Ninety-Six: The Whole Village Raised Pigs

"Rifle"

Bai Yun saw the panic of Old Chen, and opened his mouth to stop Laifu, who also retreated slightly.

"Old Chen, we're not here to settle accounts with you, I'm here this time just to find out what's going on and see if the problem is with you or me."

"Boss, I really don't know, I raised these pigs according to your orders," said Old Chen Tou, suppressing the fear in his heart.

Raising these pigs, for him, is simply a pie in the sky, in the past, he didn't even dare to dream of it, he only needs to pay some time and dregs, and he can earn more than a dozen taels of silver a month.

This has greatly improved the lives of their family, and they are seeing that life is gradually getting better; If Bai Yun was angry and didn't buy pigs from him, that day would suddenly go back to before.

Bai Yun's eyes stared, and he could see that Lao Chen Tou really didn't know, and he didn't pretend to be like this, so he asked the question in his heart.

"I didn't ask you to carve out a place on the mountainside to raise pigs, why did you get them to the door, and there are only a few of them?"

"The proprietor didn't know that I used to raise pigs on the mountainside, but one day somehow, the fence opened, and all the pigs ran away overnight.

I managed to get a few pigs, and I didn't worry about keeping them on the mountainside, so I surrounded a place at the door," explained Old Chen.

"All gone? When is the matter"?

"It's only about six or seven days"

Bai Yun looked at Laifu, and Laifu whispered: "The braised pork in the restaurant seems to have a problem at this time."

"Then how did you deliver to the restaurant on time?"

Old Chen Tou said: "I searched along the mountainside for a long time that day, but I didn't find a pig; Seeing that the delivery was about to be made, I spent the usual money to buy a few pigs.

They are castrated, then kept at the door, and sent to the restaurant every two days."

"Didn't I tell you? This castrated pig will take at least 20 days or so before it can be sent to the restaurant, how can you castrate it yesterday and send it tomorrow?"

Bai Yun suddenly realized, and then he knew why there had been problems with braised pork.

This freshly castrated pork has a natural and fishy taste, and it takes a while to grow to make the meat taste a little better, and with special methods and ingredients, it can make a sweet and delicious braised pork.

"Owner, I'm just afraid of delaying the restaurant's business, I really didn't mean to; You have a lot of money, I will compensate for the loss of the restaurant, as long as you still want my pig."

Old Chen lowered his head, his big hands like tree bark were restless, and there was a tear in his eyes, and the whole person was like a child who had done something wrong.

is willing to take responsibility, but has no ability to take responsibility, so he can only grit his teeth and stand up and endure the sorrow in his heart.

Bai Yun looked at Lao Chentou, his eyes couldn't help but soften, that is, he sold Lao Chentou's family, which was not enough for a fraction of the loss.

"Old Chen, I came to you this time, not to trouble you, the loss of the restaurant is nothing to me; This just finds the problem, don't send the pig you have here for the time being, wait for half a month and then send it."

"Thank you to the owner, thank you to the owner" Old Chen's heart was relieved and thanked again and again.

"By the way, I am planning to expand the business of the restaurant recently, and I need more pigs, and it is inevitable that there will be problems if you raise them alone; I'm going to let everyone in Xishui Village raise pigs, do you think they'll agree"?

This time, he came to Xishui Village to investigate the deterioration of the taste of braised pork is only one of the purposes, and the more important thing is that he has formed alliances with other restaurants.

This will also lead to a multiplier in the demand for pigs, and an old man alone will not be able to raise so many pigs.

When something goes wrong, it's even more troublesome.

"This ...... The dissatisfied owner said that the people in this village all make a living from farming, and they are all used to it, if they suddenly change to raising pigs, they must have some worries in their hearts" Old Chen Tou thought for a while and said.

"I know this, there is no problem with silver, I can give them a sum of money in advance, which can be used to buy pigs and chaff and grain, and it will not make their lives more difficult."

"If the owner insists on this, he can talk to the village chief, and if the village chief agrees, then there will be no great resistance to this matter."

"Where does the village chief live"?

This village chief is the person with the highest status in a village and the most powerful person to speak, and it can also be said that he is the head snake of the land.

As long as the village chief can be convinced, then there will be no problem in raising pigs in Xishui Village.

"The village chief is just to the south, I can show the way to the owner"

"That's trouble"

With that, Bai Yun and his party walked towards the village chief.

The village chief's house is very recognizable, the first one in the south is, and it is also a rare house with red tile brick walls in Xishui Village, and there is a very large yard at the door, and there are two big trees of seven or eight meters, with lush branches, and red fruits on them.

"Owner, this is the village chief's house," said Lao Chen, pointing to the house in front of him.

With Lao Chen Tou coming forward, Bai Yun soon met the village chief, a man over half a hundred years old, with pale temples, on crutches.

"I heard Lao Chen Tou say, you want to let Xishui Village raise pigs, I don't know where you come from?" The village chief looked at the few people in front of him.

"Village chief, we have opened a restaurant in the national capital, and the business is quite prosperous, and recently we have cooperated with a few friends and opened a few more restaurants;

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so we plan to let more people raise pigs, and we spend a lot of money to buy them, killing two birds with one stone," Bai Yun explained.

"This pig is a bad thing, and its meat quality is even more uncaring, forgive the old and presumptuous, I really can't understand what this pig is for" The village chief frowned, as we all know, the pig can't be eaten.

"Village chief, I have an ancestral recipe that can make the meat of the pig delicious, if you don't believe it, Lao Chen Tou can testify."

"Village chief, it's true, the restaurant opened by the owner has a very good business, and the person is also a great good person, the three-headed pig is willing to give me a tael of silver, or two silver goods, and never defaults," said Lao Chentou.

"A tael of silver"

The village chief's eyes widened and he gasped.

A tael of silver is a lot for him.

What's even more surprising is that the three-headed pig has a tael of silver, what is the difference between this and earning a tael of silver for nothing?

At the end of the year, it is easy to pay a few dozen taels of silver, which is much more comfortable than farming, and it doesn't have to be so hard.

"Lao Chentou's words, Lao Yu still believes it, but this makes all the villagers not farm, but instead raise pigs" The village chief frowned: "Gongzi also knows that we farmers have a special love for the land, if they don't farm, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Land, for the peasant, is life.

For them, farming is more like a fate.

From the old man to the child, they all spent their lives in the farmland.

Bai Yun said with a smile: "I can understand the village chief's worries, when I came, I had already calculated, and each family in the entire Xishui Village was only about three acres of fields, and the total was only three hundred acres, and some of them were mountain fields."

The food support for a year is only about 260 stones, and aside from the twice-annual taxes, it can barely maintain the family's food and drink for a year.

But if I want to raise pigs, I can give each family two taels of silver in advance, so that they don't have to worry about raising pigs.

Every month, I also need at least fifty pigs, which is more than a dozen taels of silver, and it is definitely more cost-effective than farming in a year."

Hearing this, the village chief was silent, his eyes sank, he thought for a while, and said: "The sincerity of the prince has been seen, but after all, this matter is related to the entire Xishui Village, and the old man has no way to make the decision, so he needs to discuss it with all the villagers."

"It's okay, I'm preparing to build a pig breeding base in Xishui Village, and I'm guaranteed to earn at least three hundred taels of silver every year, but then I'll have to trouble the village chief to manage it on my behalf" Bai Yun threw out the bait.

The village chief raised his eyebrows, his pupils shrunk, and he was a little moved.

If he were to take charge of this pig breeding base, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Three hundred taels of silver, even if it is a little bit, it is more than double his hard-earned money in a year.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Then the old man will replace Xishui Village, thank the son for his kindness, and the old man will go and inform the villagers, let them come here, and tell them about it."

"Then it's going to trouble the village chief," Bai Yun said.

With the village chief coming forward, the matter of raising pigs was basically determined, and each family had two taels of silver, and anyone who saw the silver of the white flowers could not be moved.

Besides, this pig raising is also eating a big pot of rice, each family will put the pig they bought together to raise, take turns to take care of it every once in a while, and the rest of the time can also go to farming, which is simply a dozen taels of silver for nothing.

Soon, under the strong push of Bai Yun and the village chief, the pig breeding base of Xishui Village has been determined, just five miles in front of the village chief's house, where there is a barren field.

When the time comes, let people do it, cut down some trees, and build a pig shed, without any problems.

After deciding on the matter of raising pigs, Bai Yun left and returned to the national capital.

By the time we got to the princess's mansion, the sky had already darkened.

Before he had gone far, he saw Ye Ruoshui eating there, and went up to say hello: "Princess."

Ye Ruoshui looked at Bai Yun: "Why did you come back so late today?"

"I met a few friends, chatted and drank together, and I was delayed for some time"

"Really"?

"Of course, this nightlife is at night, what can you do during the day," Bai Yun said with a smile.

Ye Ruoshui snorted secretly, her bright eyes flickering, and she couldn't help but think of the face that was beautiful enough to compare with her.

"It's not too early, and the princess will rest early"

With that, Bai Yun left and returned to his room.

Ye Ruoshui's eyes flickered, and he thought for a while: "Chun'er, what's that woman's name."

"It seems to be called ...... Yoyo, it's an Oiran of the Green Building," Chun'er tilted her head and thought for a while.
