The reason why Fang Yuan went to the countryside was, of course, to see if he could get live pigs.

He also knew that he might not be able to get it, but he still wanted to try it, and for this, Fang Yuan deliberately dressed up today.

If it weren't for his young age, he thought he was going on a blind date, not only him, but Li Weiguo also brought a bag, which contained clothes.

It was the blue suit, because he knew that he would have to change his clothes when he went out with Fang Yuan, so he consciously brought it with him.

Li Weiguo didn't ask where to go, he just needed to know where Fang Yuan was going and where he was going.

"Get on the bus and buy a ticket. A conductor came up and said.

"How much are the two that went to Changping?"

"A dime and a half. ”

"Here you go. Fang Yuan hurriedly handed over a dime and a penny, a dime and a five-cent coin.

Fang Yuan is still half price, no way, who made him so short! But being short also has the advantage of being short! Half price by bus.

Changping is now a remote suburb, and it is not close to Qinghe, in fact, it is a far suburb line, which is more expensive than going to the city.

Of course, the dime ticket has come to an end, so let's put it this way! Even if it's twice as far away, the fare is still a dime, and that's the suburban line.

"Get your ticket and find a place to sit. The salesman handed the ticket to Fang Yuan and said.

"Okay. ”

The two of them took a few steps back, and there were just two vacant seats next to each other, and Fang Yuan sat down.

Seeing that Fang Yuan had sat down, Li Weiguo also hurriedly sat down next to him, just blocking Fang Yuan inside.

"Get out of the car in a moment and put on your clothes first. ”

"Hmm!" Li Weiguo nodded.

After more than an hour, Fang Yuan felt that he was about to fall apart, and the bus finally arrived.

"The terminal arrived, and the one who got off the train showed his ticket. The conductor shouted.

"Let's go. Fang Yuan said to Li Weiguo.

"Hmm!"

Fang Yuan raised the ticket, and then got out of the car with Li Weiguo.

In this era, the imperial capital city is not very big, let alone here in Changping, and the diameter of the entire urban area will not exceed three kilometers.

After getting out of the car, he found a toilet, Fang Yuan put some water, and Li Weiguo took out his clothes from his bag and put them outside.

The two of them came out of the bus stop, Fang Yuan glanced up at the direction of the sun, and then walked east.

Fang Yuan is not familiar with this place, this is not familiar, not only now, but also in his previous life, although when Fang Yuan opened a travel company in his previous life, he often ran to this side, but basically did not enter the county seat.

Because the attractions you want to go to don't need to go from the county, you can just take the ring line.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you keep walking, you will soon be out of the city, as long as you go out of the city, all of them are rural.

Because he didn't have a watch, Fang Yuan didn't know how long it had been walking, it was estimated that it had been forty or fifty minutes, and it was already far from the city.

Fang Yuan saw a village in front of him and said to Li Weiguo, "Let's go, let's go to this village and have a look." ”

"Hmm!"

The village was quiet, not even a dog barked, and the whole village seemed to be still.

There are no children playing outside, which is not at all different from the woolen factory, but it is similar to Qinghe Street.

This village is very small, from the south end of the village to the north end of the village, at most no more than 200 meters, and the east and west are almost the same.

Judging by the number of houses, there are about forty or fifty families living here.

One of the best buildings in the whole village is a half-brick and half-earth house, except for this one, all the rest are adobe houses.

This half-brick and half-earth house has a small courtyard, and the door reads Group 7 of North Shaowa Village.

"Fang Yuan, there are people inside. Li Weiguo said at this time.

He was much taller than Fang Yuan, and the walls of the courtyard were not high, so he could see inside.

As soon as Li Weiguo's voice fell, the door opened, and it was an old man in his fifties.

In later generations, a fifty-something would still look very young, but in this era, a fifty-something is already considered an old man.

When the old man saw Fang Yuan and Li Weiguo standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Just now he heard a movement inside, so he came out to take a look, he thought it was someone from the village, but he didn't expect it to be two strangers, and it was two children.

"Hello uncle! ”

"Looking for the village chief?" The old man was stunned again for a moment, then glanced at Li Weiguo, then looked at Fang Yuan and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"Ugh!"

With the old man's words, Fang Yuan had already determined one thing.

"We have something to talk to the village chief. ”

Sure enough, hearing Fang Yuan say this, the old man said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Uncle, can we go in and say, it's weird cold outside. ”

The old man, the village chief, glanced at the two men again, stepped aside the door and said, "Come in." ”

The house was empty, and this emptiness was not about the size of the house, but about the fact that there was nothing in it, a worn-out long table, and a few benches.

There is nothing else but that, and this should be the place for meetings in the village.

"Sit down, I'll pour you water. ”

"No need uncle, we are not thirsty, you can sit too. ”

Although Fang Yuan said that he was not thirsty, the old man still poured a jar of hot water for each of the two of them.

Both porcelain were badly peeled off, and the enamel jars were rusty.

"Thank you!" Fang Yuan hurriedly took it and thanked him.

After pouring them for Fang Yuan, the old man also poured a jar for himself, and then sat opposite Fang Yuan and Li Weiguo.

After the old man sat down, he looked at Fang Yuan and asked, "Say, what are you looking for me?"

The old man had already seen that although Li Weiguo was older than Fang Yuan, the only person who had been talking was Fang Yuan.

In other words, Fang Yuan is the master of the house, and Li Weiguo is a follower, although it is a bit of a matter to say so, but this is a fact.

"Uncle, I want to ask, do you raise pigs in your village?"

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, the old man frowned, looked at Fang Yuan and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing in our village?"

Fang Yuan didn't expect the old man to have such a big reaction, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything else, just ask." ”

Hearing Fang Yuan say this, and seeing that the two of them were so young, the old man also relaxed.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Fang Yuan glanced at Li Weiguo next to him, and then gave him a look, Li Weiguo stood up and walked out of the door, and closed the door from the outside.

When the old man saw the two of them move, he was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, because he knew that Fang Yuan would say it himself.

"Uncle, I want to know, is there any pigs in your village?"

The old man glanced at the closed door, then at Fang Yuan, nodded and said, "Well, there are pigs in our village, but why are you asking this?"

"It's such an uncle, I am from Qinghe Woolen Factory, and our factory wants to get two pigs to improve the food for the workers, so ......"

"No way, do you know that the pigs raised in the village cannot be sold, and those pigs must be sold to the state. ”

"Of course I know that, otherwise I wouldn't have come. ”

"Now that you know, what else are you asking me for?"

"Uncle, although I know that I can't buy and sell casually, it's okay if others don't know, and the price is negotiable. ”

Hearing Fang Yuan say this, the old man shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with the price, no matter how much money you give, you can't sell it." ”

"And what if I trade food for it?"

"Grain?" Hearing Fang Yuan say grain, the old man's eyes lit up.

"Yes, food. Fang Yuan nodded.

In fact, Fang Yuan knew that it was useless to give money, although the countryside was short of money, but money was not very useful to them.

For farmers, the most important thing at this time is food, and sure enough, Fang Yuan's bet was right, and you can see it by looking at the old man's eyes.

Raising pigs in the village, even if they are sold to the state, is actually in exchange for food, and not much.

Because in addition to pigweed, the feed is provided by the state, and it is good to raise a pig and give a few hundred catties of coarse grain.

And those who raise pigs exchange the work earned by raising pigs for food, which is the same as farming and working to earn labor.

The old man did not speak, but took out a cloth bag, took out a cigarette stick from the cloth bag, loaded it with tobacco shreds, lit it with a match and smoked it vigorously.

"How much food can you give?"

Hearing the old man say this, Fang Yuan's face was overjoyed, because he knew that there was a play, and hurriedly said, "That's it, uncle, you say." ”

"A pig has a thousand pounds of grain. ”

Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you want too much, right?"

Fang Yuan because the old man was talking about fine grains, if this was the case, it was really not cost-effective.

You must know that this is a difficult time of three years, and it is also the time when there is the most shortage of food, although the price of pork is more expensive now.

But this thing can be eaten or not, or the food is the most important, don't forget, now a pound of fine grain stamps is sold for two yuan and five.

Coupled with the money to buy fine grains, a pound of white flour is two pieces of six cents and eight, and a pound of rice is also two pieces of six cents and three dollars.

The value of a thousand catties of fine grain is more than two thousand six hundred yuan, and at least two thousand six hundred and three, which has long exceeded the value of a pig.

Although pork is also very expensive now, a pound of meat ticket costs five yuan on the black market, and sometimes even up to six yuan.

But if it is calculated at six yuan, plus the five cents for buying pork, it is only six yuan and five pounds.

And a pig weighs only a pig, and a pig with a gross weight of 200 catties, not to mention how much meat it has, it will all be calculated according to the price of meat, and it is only 1,030.

In this way, 1,000 catties of fine grain is definitely higher than 2,000 catties, let alone 2,000 catties.

And that's just the value, if you compare grain with pork, grain is much more important than pork.

A thousand catties of fine grain can make three people eat comfortably for a year, but two pigs, is it enough for three people to eat for three months?

Not enough, because pork has a lot of moisture, and grain has to add water to it, that's the difference.

"I said uncle, can you see if you can have less?"

"No, but I don't want fine grain, just give me 2,000 catties of coarse grain. ”

"Coarse and fine grains?" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then calculated an account in his heart.
