"It seems that everyone's breeding situation is good this year!" Li Junli looked around at the fat pigs raised by the village members.

This year, all twenty quotas in the village were taken away by the commune members. A total of twenty-eight pigs were raised, but due to improper breeding by some commune members, five died, and now there are twenty-three pigs left.

In order to prevent too many pigs from being killed by the members and resulting in insufficient task pigs, the village also raised five fattening pigs. Now the remaining pigs are unplanned pigs.

"This year is good. In addition to the tasks, there are eight pigs left. I will give you one more pig for the members who raise two pigs. There are still seven pigs in the village. Oops! I can have a good year this year." Li Junli patted his thigh.

said excitedly.

"Okay, everyone, get ready and tie the pigs to the floor cart." Li Junli began to direct everyone to load the pigs.

Li Wen and his second brother Li Quan pressed the handle of the car. Their father, second uncle, and their eldest brother began to drive the fat pig to the bus. But the pig seemed to know the fate and refused to get on. The three of them could only push and push the fat pig.

They got into the carriage and were tied up.

All of a sudden, the pigs in the breeding farm squealed one after another, resounding throughout half of the village.

After the fat pig was installed, the pig was so frightened that it pooped on the ground. My father and second uncle shouted, "What a pity."

After more than an hour, everyone and twenty trucks were loaded with fat pigs and started to leave from the village breeding farm.

Everyone in the village knew that they were going to hand over a pig today, so they all came out to watch.

Looking at the big fat pig on the car, many people swallowed unconsciously.

This pig is really fat this year, and people in the village are talking about it.

"Shuan Hu! You have to work so hard to pull a pig. Have you ever seen your wife pulling a pig?" At this time, several women in the village were teasing a villager who raised pigs.

"Come on, come on, Aunt Six, whoever comes up, I will take you with me to the purchasing station." Li Shuanhu, a middle-aged man, smiled and said to the women in the crowd.

"Bah! No ivory can come out of a pig's mouth." Several women laughed and cursed at Li Shuanhu.

The men pulling the pigs were watched like groomsmen.

"Okay, let's go now. There are more people turning in tasks these days, so we have to hurry up." Li Junli shouted to the front.

Everyone began to quicken their pace, and twenty carts moved toward the town in a mighty manner.

(Someone asked why the pigs are pulled up on a cart. Isn’t this funny? But the fact is that it was often like this decades ago. The village is more than ten miles away from the town. If you drive the pigs, it will be too slow. Also

Pig legs are relatively short and are easily injured on dirt roads in mountain villages, so they are not worth the money. So it is simple and quick to use a cart to pull pigs.)

Along the way, everyone would occasionally meet some mountain people walking towards the town carrying pigs on their backs.

Compared to commune members on the plains, people in the mountains pay more attention to raising fat pigs. Food cultivation in the mountains is relatively scarce, so people in the mountains basically rely on mountain goods and the purchasing station to exchange food for food. If they don't deliver enough mission pigs, their rebate food will be suspended.

"Hey, Lao Chen, your village is also organizing the task of handing over pigs today?" On the way, everyone bumped into another village. Li Junli was familiar with the cadres of the other village, so he stepped forward to say hello with a smile.

"It's not because the weather is getting colder and the pigs aren't getting fat anymore. If you finish early education, every day you stay in the village increases your risk." The middle-aged cadre surnamed Chen handed Li Junli a cigarette and said with a smile.

"Yes, pigs have more problems when the weather is cold, so it's easy for the whole village to hand in tasks," Li Junli said with a smile as he took the cigarette, took out a match and lit it.

"Junli, I just took a look at the pig in your village this year. It's very fat." The middle-aged man smiled and glanced at the team in Sanxing Village.

"Luck, luck."

"Isn't there a canning workshop this year? The fruits were canned and peeled a lot, so they were fed to the pigs. The pigs will naturally grow faster when they are full." Li Junli said, patting Li Wen's big black pig.

Looking at Li Junli's Versailles appearance, the village cadre surnamed Chen really wanted to spit in his face. However, in these years when there is not enough to eat, Sanxing Village is really powerful this year. It released a king bomb, which made several surrounding villages numb.

.

"There's nothing we can do. It's not as good as your village. Look at our dozen pigs, which only cost half a crown."

"Oh! It's been really difficult this year," the cadre surnamed Chen said helplessly.

"Let's go, let's keep going."

While the two were chatting, the people from Chenjia Village who came out of the fork in the road also walked behind the people from Sanxing Village. They were really embarrassed to walk in front of others.

"Hey, man, what are your pigs like? Each of them weighs twenty or thirty kilograms more than us." The pig farmer at the front of Chenjia Village shouted to the one at the back of Sanxing Village.

"Haha, what can I do? Just raise it like this." I usually don't care about it at home. It's all raised by the women and children at home. Li Shuanhu at the back said with his head held high.

After asking for a long time, the villagers in Chenjia Village couldn't find anything. They realized that Li Shuanhu was a 250-year-old, so they stopped talking to him.

In less than an hour, a group of more than 30 carts arrived in the town. At this time, the people in the town had just started to go to work, and it was very busy in the morning. The villagers who were watching the pigs from a distance all moved out of the way.

There is not much difference between the town and the village. Many people still farm, and there are only a few non-agricultural households.

At this time, looking at dozens of fat pigs, the children on the road swallowed their saliva and began to ask the adults if they wanted to eat meat.

Bypassing the crowded morning market, everyone came to the pig purchasing station owned by the food company.

At this time, there were already dozens of people queuing up. Judging from the equipment, most of them were mountaineers. They all came at night, so they would arrive early in the morning.

Everyone started queuing up, and Li Wen took some time off. He had never seen a pig harvest before, so he had to take a good look today.

With curiosity, Li Wen came to the front of the acquisition team.

At this time, the staff at the purchasing station are inspecting the pigs. The probability of pigs getting sick at this time is particularly high, and farmers are afraid of raising bean pigs or pigs with plague, which will be the end of the world.

The pig inspector first looked at the pig's ears and mouth to see if the pig had swine fever and whether it was a soybean pig. Then he pinched the pig's belly to see if there was food in the pig's belly.

After the inspection, the pig inspector raised his head and shouted: "The pig's belly is full of food and is not very bulging. Eight pounds of weight will be deducted."

The pig farmers on the side kept saying good things to the staff, asking them to deduct less. Finally, after all the good words were said, the pig inspector deducted seven kilograms with a stroke of a pen. The pig farmers saw that they had already registered and could not take any less.

I had no choice but to cooperate.

The next step was to weigh the pig's joints. The staff put a sack on the pig's head and tied the pig up with two ropes. Two strong men and a person from the purchasing station lifted the pig up using a scale.

One hundred and thirty-nine pounds, the staff shouted. Then he put the pig down, and specialized personnel drove the pig to the purchasing station.

After deducting the weight, there are still 132 kilograms. When the farmer heard the weight, he was overjoyed.

At this time, the purchasing station has standards for accepting pigs. They classify the pigs into first, second, and third grades according to their weight.

The lowest third-class pig is 110 kilograms, and no pigs will be accepted if it is less than 110 kilograms. The second-class pig is above 130 kilograms, and the first-class pig is 160 kilograms and above. These are the best pigs and have the highest price.

The price of first-class pigs is the highest, 48 cents per pound, second-class pigs are 40.2 cents per pound, and third-class pigs are only 38 cents. The difference between the price of third-class pigs and the first-class pigs is only 10 cents.

It's not a small number.

This farmer's pig weighs 132 kilograms, so it is a second-class pig, and the price is much higher.

"Okay, I'll give you the pig completion certificate and 55.44 pig money. Do you want meat stamps or food stamps for the subsidy?" the staff at the purchasing station asked.

"I want food stamps, food stamps!" the farmer responded hurriedly.

If you turn in the task pig at this time, you will receive corresponding subsidies after completing the task. Five to ten kilograms of meat stamps or forty to sixty kilograms of grain stamps will be given, and three to six feet of cloth coupons will be given. This is not something you can exchange with just a hand!

Take the ticket and buy it.

In these days and months, when people don’t have enough to eat, who would be willing to ask for meat stamps? Most of them have exchanged them for food stamps.

Farmers look like mountain people at first glance, and their food is more valuable.

The farmers hurriedly received the pig completion certificate and subsidy, thanked them and left.

When Li Wen saw that it was like this, there were so many twists and turns in making a pig.

After waiting in line for almost two hours, it was Sanxing Village's turn. The purchasing station looked at the fat pigs in Sanxing Village and smiled with satisfaction. When asked, it was the pigs in Sanxing Village who smiled even more.

Because the purchasing station is owned by a food company, the cans purchased in cooperation with Sanxing Village this year were exported to polar bear countries, which enabled the county food purchasing station to earn a good amount of foreign exchange.

The entire county company was praised, and at the end of the year, the welfare benefits of their purchasing station were greatly improved.

So today, Sanxing Village came to deliver pigs, and the people at the purchasing station were very enthusiastic because the pigs were of good quality.

Li Junli had a happy chat with the purchasing station manager, and everyone at the purchasing station noticed it, and they all started lightly when deducting the weight, which was basically three or four kilograms.

Li Wen's big fat pig finally weighed 203 kilograms, and even everyone at the purchasing station was very happy. Pigs in the north grow slowly, and no pig of this weight has been purchased in the past few years.

After handing over the task pig, the production team leader went to collect the money ticket.

Do you want meat tickets or grain? Li Junli turned around and asked the village members.

Everyone nodded and asked for food, and Li Wen's family followed suit.

Because all the pigs in the village weigh more than 160 pounds, the subsidy is based on the highest standard of ten-jin meat stamps or sixty-jin grain stamps, and six-foot cloth stamps.

In fact, everyone in the village has an account in their mind. If you help the village raise a pig, the village will share twenty kilograms of pork. If you exchange the ten kilograms of subsidized pork for grain, you can still receive ten kilograms when you return to the village. When the village kills the New Year pig, the village will also share the meat.

.

There is not much food in the house now, so it would be wise to replace it with food. A dozen kilograms of pork is enough to last the Chinese New Year. If you don’t finish it, you can make it into bacon and save it for your children to see each other.

After collecting the money from the accounting office, Li Junli gave each person five yuan and forty cents, which was money to buy grain. The sixty-pound grain stamps were made of corn flour.
Chapter completed!
