Rebirth of Pig Raising in the Countryside

Chapter 10: The story of harvesting corn in Zhangjiagou ([-])

Zhangjiagou, located at the foot of Dabai Mountain, has a very famous cave next to it, called Yahong Cave.

According to people of the older generation, it was originally the refuge where the Eight Great Kings killed SC.If you go inside now, you can still see bones.

And because a lot of floods came out of it decades ago, a lot of bones washed out, so it is called Yahong Cave.

The entrance to enter is very small, but after entering, the inside is extremely empty.Many bats live here, flying everywhere in the evening.

Zhangjiagou is said to be at the foot of Dabai Mountain, but in fact it is more appropriate to say that it is on the mountainside.I saw the whole village gathered on the road, opposite to a long canyon.There are some rice fields all over the canyon.The paddy fields in the entire village of Zhangjiagou are all in this canyon, which looks very compact.

Liu Xiaoming was riding the motorcycle he just bought, and the slightly cold spring breeze was blowing on his face.From time to time, there are people doing farm work on both sides of the road, which looks extraordinarily demure.

At this time, it is the time to plant potatoes, and piles of farm manure are piled on the ground.Farm manure is some weeds in the field that are cut home and put in pig pens or cattle pens.After the fermentation of weeds and livestock manure, it is the best fertilizer for potatoes.

"Uncle, have you arrived in the field so early?"

After stopping the motorcycle, Liu Xiaoming chatted with a middle-aged man who was picking manure.This uncle is also a good-tempered person, upon hearing this he put down the shoulder pole.

"Haha, it's still early, but it's quite early for you young people."

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoming also sat down familiarly.Taking out the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang from his pocket, he handed one over, and took one in his mouth.

The uncle took Liu Xiaoming's cigarette and put it on his ear.Then, he took out a white plastic bag from his purse.

After opening it, take out a cigarette rod from inside.Then he took out a long tobacco leaf.Liu Xiaoming looked at the other party in surprise, not knowing what it meant.Seeing Liu Xiaoming's doubts, Xu Shi said with a smile, "I've smoked opium all my life, and you guys are really not used to it. It doesn't smell at all, and it's very light. It's better to smoke it from home grown ones. How about you want to have a bite?"

Liu Xiaoming shook his head hastily, joking, but he knew the strength of the other party's tobacco leaves.That smell can make people drunk.Drunken smoke is worse than drunkenness.

Seeing Liu Xiaoming shaking his head, the other party didn't care.Roll the tobacco leaves into a round cigarette, just like a cigar, then take out the lighter, light it and take a nice sip.Suddenly, an attractive smell of smoke appeared.

Not to mention, compared with the smell of this smoke, the cigarette in Liu Xiaoming's hand has no smell at all.

Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Liu Xiaoming said to the uncle who was enjoying himself: "Uncle, is there a lot of corn in your village?"

After shaking his head and savoring the smell of the smoke, the uncle opened his eyes and said, "There are plenty of corn, why are you in this business."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming was overjoyed.

"No, I run a pig farm and need a lot of corn, so I'm here to ask you today."

"Oh, the guy who runs a pig farm is not bad at such a young age. To be honest, we have a lot of corn in our village, so it depends on what price you offer. As long as the price is right, tens of thousands of catties is still very easy."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming knew that he had come to the right place today.

"Uncle, don't worry, my price here is absolutely fair. If I come to collect it, it will be seventy-five cents a catty. If it is delivered to your door, it will be eight cents."

"Oh!" The middle-aged uncle was very moved when he heard this.You know, since the price of pigs fell sharply last year, the price of corn has also dropped. Although it is not as severe as the price of pigs, the impact is still quite large.

Generally, the corn in the countryside is bought by some corn dealers and directly pulled to the city for sale.This year's price is also around [-] cents.Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him directly gained five points. If there is a large amount, it is not a small sum.

"Young man, can you really give me seventy-five cents?"

"Yes, if you deliver it to your door, I will give it to Bamao."

"Oh!"

The temptation of [-] cents is not small. Rural people are good housekeepers, and even one dollar is money in their eyes.

"Where is your farm? Is it far away? If not, we will send it to your pig farm."

Liu Xiaoming was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Not far away, in Zhang Daqing's pig farm in Longhe Village. He is also from here. You should know him."

"Oh, it's really not far away from him. When you want it, I'll go home and pack it up."

"Of course, the sooner the better, the best is these two days. I want a lot, and [-] to [-] catties are not enough."

"Hey, with such a large number, it seems that there are a lot of them."

The uncle was also taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to ask for so much.You must know that people who raise pigs will not buy all the corn at once, basically they will only prepare it for a month or two, otherwise it will be their own loss if it gets wet.

"Yeah, so you help me organize it and see how many there are."

"Okay, no problem, you can sit at my house for a while, and I will go to the village to ask for you."

After finishing speaking, the uncle didn't care about the feces under his body, and took Liu Xiaoming to his home.

On the way, Liu Xiaoming had already learned the other party's information.This uncle is called Gao Changfu, and he has taken root here for generations.There is a grandson in the family, and the old couple took it with them.As for the son and daughter-in-law, they have all gone out to work.

The two walked for about four or five minutes, and came to a house built with yellow mud.

"Xiao Liu, here we are, this is your Uncle Gao's home."

Afterwards, Gao Changfu shouted to the inside: "Hurry up and bring tea, there are guests coming."

Not long after the words were finished, a middle-aged woman in a gray padded jacket came out with a teacup in her hand.

"Aren't you a shit picker? Why are you back now, and this is it?"

After finishing speaking, the woman looked at Liu Xiaoming suspiciously.Gao Changfu said to Liu Xiaoming: "This is your aunt, what do you do at home all day?"

After a few complaints, introductions were made.

"This is Xiao Liu, who came to collect corn from us. Although he is small, he is a pig boss."

When Liu Xiaoming heard this, he smiled awkwardly.Although I decided to raise pigs, I still have a toothache for the title of pig boss.

"Auntie, hello, my name is Liu Xiaoming, what kind of boss is a pig, I'm just playing around to make a living."

Hearing this, the aunt laughed.

"Hehehe, it's better than this guy. He knows how to smoke and drink all day. Come in and sit down, don't stand outside."

After finishing speaking, he greeted Liu Xiaoming to enter the room.After sitting down, the aunt began to say: "Xiao Liu, what price do you want to charge for corn? If it is lower, we will not sell it and let it stay at home."

After the voice fell, before Liu Xiaoming could speak, Gao Changfu beside him started talking.

"What are you talking about, Xiao Liu is a big boss, and the price he gave was [-] cents for delivery, and it cost tens of thousands of catties."

"Hey, so many."

The aunt was also taken aback, and was very satisfied with the price.However, then it became difficult.

"However, our family doesn't have so many. Although the number of days was good last year, except for the pigs at home, the ones that can be sold are only about two thousand catties."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming almost laughed out loud.This aunt is really funny, their family doesn't have so many others.Gao Changfu's face darkened as well, and he scolded: "How stupid are you, mother-in-law? Our family has no one else's. There are about [-] families in our Zhangjiagou, and there are tens of thousands of catties no matter what."

Hearing this, the aunt was also a little embarrassed, knowing that she was being stupid.He smiled at Liu Xiaoming, but he didn't have such a good temper towards Uncle Gao.

"I'm stupid, I'm not stupid, why did you marry someone like you back then, eat ready-made food all day long, don't talk about it, you can't do this or that. If you have the ability, don't live with me, at worst, I will go back to my mother's house. "

The two of them should be used to bickering. Hearing that Uncle Gao was about to argue with reason, he stopped when he saw Liu Xiaoming.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Someone is not afraid of losing face."

The aunt also knew that it was not the occasion, so she went into the house after muttering a few words.

"Xiao Liu, you are like this. Hahaha, let's go and see the corn."

Liu Xiaoming also saw Gao Changfu's embarrassment, and said along the way: "Okay, let's go and have a look, I don't want a bad appearance."

After finishing speaking, Gao Changfu led Liu Xiaoming to the back of the main room.
