OBS Chapter 86 Buying Piglets
Chapter 86 Buying Piglets
If you were to ask what Jiang'an City is most famous for, it would undoubtedly be the Jiang'an pig.
They have a knack for raising pigs here, and pig farming has even reached a large scale.
There were many pig farms; basically, there was one large pig farm in each commune.
As for the smaller ones, there are even more.
After becoming the team's accountant, Lu Yuanqing enjoyed following various events through newspapers.
When he saw the news about the pig farm in Jiang'an City in the newspaper, he didn't think much of it.
He doesn't know how to raise pigs.
And it smells terrible!
But who can blame fate for playing tricks on us?
He just wanted to eat some pork, and he actually won a hundred piglets in a lottery.
He would be overjoyed if he had a hundred big, fat pigs weighing two hundred pounds each.
But it's just a piglet, are we going to eat roast suckling pig?
Having personally experienced the scarcity of material goods, he really couldn't bring himself to secretly kill the piglet and eat it.
The village was poor, and a brilliant idea struck me: I remembered the news about the pig farm in Jiang'an City.
Isn't this a perfect combination of timing and location?
Lu Yuanqing already had piglets on hand; he could just put on a show.
But he was a timid person.
"Brother, are you still feeling dizzy?" Lu Yuanbo asked with concern.
Lu Yuanqing shook his head, "Just breathing fresh air will do the trick!"
The two got up early in the morning, washed up quickly, and went out for breakfast.
After eating, we took a bus to visit the surrounding rural areas.
Lu Yuanqing's motion sickness remained unchanged.
Fortunately, his motion sickness wasn't severe; he only had a headache and felt unwell. He felt better after getting off the car and breathing some fresh air.
He relied solely on his voice to ask for directions until he reached his destination.
Today is the first commune they've visited.
And believe it or not, back in the days before weekends, if you went to see your boss, they were usually there.
"Aren't you going in?" Lu Yuanqing was about to go to the entrance of the Red Flag Commune to find the leaders when Lu Yuanbo stood still at the door!
"I won't go in, brother. I'll wait for you outside. You go in by yourself!" Lu Yuanbo felt he didn't understand either, so he wouldn't go in and face his superiors. He was a little afraid of his superiors.
Lu Yuanqing recalled a time when Lu Yuanbo went to town and saw his junior high school homeroom teacher from afar, so he hurriedly hid away.
understood!
This is someone who's afraid of teachers in school and afraid of their boss at work!
“Then you can go and wander around as you please!” Lu Yuanqing said.
Lu Yuanbo has money on him, and he's a grown man, so there's no need to worry about him getting lost!
This made Lu Yuanbo happy.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Is that alright?"
“Of course!” Lu Yuanqing smiled!
It's a commune on the outskirts of the city, so there should still be some interesting places to see.
"Hehe, then I'll just take a walk around and then come back to find you!" Lu Yuanbo promised with a grin.
Lu Yuanqing waved his hand, signaling him to leave!
After Lu Yuanbo skipped away, Lu Yuanqing went to the office of the commune leader.
He inquired and found out that there was a pig farm in Hongqi Commune with nearly 300 pigs, which was considered a large-scale pig farm.
At least half of the pork in the country probably comes from here; it truly deserves its reputation as a pig-farming city.
When people mention it in later generations, they always say that "Jiang'an Pig" is very famous.
With a certificate issued by the commune, Lu Yuanqing's method of buying piglets was legitimate, so the Red Flag Commune naturally wouldn't refuse him.
They also had a business of selling piglets to make money.
When they learned that Lu Yuanqing wanted to buy piglets, they naturally all had a "yes, yes, yes" expression.
However, the Hongqi Brigade had been planning to expand its pig farm this year, so Lu Yuanqing couldn't buy many piglets.
This was exactly what Lu Yuanqing had planned.
He is careful in his actions and will not leave any evidence against him.
I want to take advantage of this task of buying piglets to naturally get rid of the piglets I won in the lottery.
But he was careful not to take it all out at once.
He needs to leave evidence that he came to Jiang'an City to buy piglets.
He could only buy so much from one place, which suited him perfectly.
After agreeing on the number of piglets to be purchased, Lu Yuanqing signed a contract with the Red Flag Commune.
“I need to go to other places to check, so I will arrange for a truck to come over on the 15th. I will ask the leaders to prepare the 20 piglets. I will come over to take the piglets and pay them.”
"Don't worry, I'll definitely prepare it for you!"
"Thank you, leader!" Lu Yuanqing said with a smile.
No wonder it's a city that raises pigs.
They can even buy 20 piglets at once.
You should know that their commune had promised to reserve 10 piglets for them this year, but in the end they changed their minds.
The production teams below, seeing last year's bumper harvest, are all thinking about raising pigs.
Judging from the sound of the wind, a pig farm has been built in Shihua Village, and it looks like they're going to raise a lot of pigs.
Of course, the other production teams wouldn't stand for it!
Their brigade also needs to eat meat.
Last year's harvest was good, and this year looks promising too, so I thought I could raise a few more pigs. Sure enough, everyone is sharing the meat!
But if Shihua Village opens a pig farm, won't that take away all their assigned piglets?
They don't have piglets, so they can't raise big, fat pigs. What will they do for the New Year? Watch a production team in Shihua Village eat meat? Will they just smell it?
But the commune didn't have that many piglets!
In an instant, the promised ten piglets became three, with some even saying that an extra piglet had been given while other production teams only received two.
Zhao Zhongcai was furious. After receiving the money from selling the vegetables from the commune, he hurriedly sent Lu Yuanqing to Jiang'an City.
……
Lu Yuanqing spent the whole day running around, visiting three pig farms with Lu Yuanbo.
Because the harvest was bad a few years ago, people couldn't even get enough to eat, so where would they find food to feed the pigs!
Therefore, there weren't many pigs raised last year.
With a bumper harvest last year, the pig farms here are hoping to raise more pigs this year to make more money, so naturally they can't sell many piglets.
After a long day of running around, Lu Yuanqing returned to the hotel in the city with Lu Yuanbo and collapsed onto the bed.
It turns out that only the Red Flag Brigade was generous enough to sell him 20 piglets in one go.
The other two communes each agreed to sell five heads.
And their attitude was extremely arrogant, like "take it or leave it!"
There are many communes raising pigs in their area, and the production teams need quite a few piglets, so they're not worried about not being able to sell them.
Lu Yuanqing had three contracts with him, thinking he was just going to two places to make a token effort, but this was all?
According to his original plan, he might need to come to Jiang'an City twice. After making money the first time, he would need to find a way to buy a few sows the second time so that they could produce and sell their own pigs and wouldn't be held hostage by others.
He had two chances. He would consume 50 piglets from the system space each time, and in total, he would have 100 piglets, which would easily solve the piglet problem.
After a whole day of running around, only thirty of the planned one hundred piglets had managed to escape.
The journey to each place is long, and the travel by car is particularly tiring.
Lu Yuanqing thought, why not just take out seventy heads?
After thinking it over, Lu Yuanqing still hesitated. Oh well! I'll make the trip again tomorrow!
but……
Lu Yuanqing looked at Lu Yuanbo lying on the other side of the bed and prepared to find him something to do. He hadn't come out with him just to enjoy himself.
Seeing the world is more than just seeing!
