Chapter 542: If you want to stay in the village, you have to play a role
Luo Youlong thought of the past few years when he sold pigs and paid for them.
It is really difficult to make money by raising pigs. For example, last year, the production team finally raised the pigs to a size that barely reached the weight required by the task. As a result, one week before acceptance, one of the pigs froze to death for no apparent reason.
In order to complete the task of raising pigs, he had to buy a pig from another production team at a high price.
Some production teams are in better conditions and are richer. The task requirement is to have 20 pigs that meet the standard. They will buy a few more piglets at the beginning of the year, just so that they can sell them to other production teams at the end of the year to make money. If they cannot sell them, they can still make money on their own.
The food was divided among the villagers.
In comparison, how can Luohu Village have the money to raise more piglets? In order to meet the standards, which year does it not pay?
Thinking of this, Luo Youlong felt that the Su family was still too naive.
They actually thought they could make money by selling the pigs, and wanted to wait until the end of the year to get half of the money.
"Jin Bao, these words you just said were told to you by your father, right?" Luo Youlong guessed and asked, "Is he embarrassed to tell me, so he asked you to tell me these words?"
Jinbao did not answer his question directly.
"Whether this idea comes from me or my father, Uncle Luo, just tell me, what do you think of this method? If you agree, then let's write an agreement, you and my father sign it, and you sign it.
My father will be able to advance money to buy feed tomorrow. If you don’t agree, then your production team will have to raise these pigs yourself."
Bai Lu stood aside and listened to the conversation between Jin Bao and Luo Youlong without saying a word, her eyes always fixed on Jin Bao's profile.
From Jin Bao, she seemed to see her father discussing business with others.
Jinbao is like her father, with a business mind...
Just when she was in a daze, the corners of Luo Youlong's lips raised, "Okay!"
He smiled and said: "I will go back and write an agreement, sign it and show it to your father."
After speaking, he looked at Bai Lu and said, "Daughter-in-law of the Su family, do you have any objection to what your daughter just said?"
"No objection," Bai Lu said, "Just do what Jin Bao said just now."
Su Wennian was not on the second floor, and had gone to the mountains with his two younger brothers.
In order to find a black watercolor pen, Su Jianmin rummaged for a while before he found it.
When he went downstairs to the yard with his pen, he found that Luo Youlong had left alone.
After learning from his wife about the conditions for raising pigs that Jinbao and Captain Luo discussed, Su Jianmin sighed: "Although the risk of this advance is quite high, but think about it from another perspective, the bigger the pigs are, the fatter they will be.
There will be more money, right?”
Bai Lu nodded and said, "Yes! If you can raise a few first-class pigs, you might make a lot of money."
"Oh, we have to take care of those pig ancestors!"
On the same day, after Luo Youlong discussed with the members, everyone felt that raising pigs would only lead to losses if they did not make money, so they had no objections. Afterwards, he returned to Su's house, signed the agreement with Su Jianmin, and each of them kept a copy.
After the villagers learned about it, they all said it was good to raise pigs for this task without losing money. They also said that the Su family would suffer a big loss this time.
But having said that, after all, this pig task is related to the resale food of the whole village next year, so they still go to the mountain to cut pig grass when they have time, and then send the pig grass to the Su family to try their best to raise the pigs to complete the task.
Task.
As for the two extra pigs in the Su family, there is still no news.
Luo Youlong said: "I asked during the meeting and there was no production team throwing away pigs. It's strange."
"Then I'll keep it for now," Su Jianmin said. "If no one comes to claim it by the end of the year, then we will divide the pig and eat it."
People in the village heard about it and went to Su's house from time to time to look at the pigs, especially the two marked pigs.
The other pigs have to be surrendered, and only the two extra pigs can be eaten.
"I want to eat pig legs," a group of children gathered outside the Su family's pig pen. "The pig snouts and ears look delicious, as well as the pig tails. The pig tails are delicious fried with chili."
One of the little boys licked his lips greedily and said, "Since those two pigs are from our village, let's cut off their tails and eat them first, right?"
They haven't eaten pork in more than two years.
In the past, when bayberry trees were grown in the village, one could still eat pork a few times a year. Later, the bayberry forest was burned down. Let alone eating pork, now even eating rice has become a luxury. Most of the time, I eat sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.
The children stared at the pig and kept swallowing their saliva. They all thought it was a good idea to cut off the pig's tail and fry it with pepper.
"Who is going to cut off the pig's tail?" They looked at me and I looked at you. None of them had the guts to break into the Su family's pig pen.
One of the children suggested: "Let Jiang Yun go? He has to listen to us..."
"That's right, let Jiang Yun go. If he refuses to go, we will go to his door and scold his father, saying that his father is the Stinky Laojiu, the Stinky Laojiu who picks up cow dung, making him and his mother unable to hold their heads up.
Come."
The boys made up their mind and immediately ran to Jiang Yun's house and called Jiang Yun out.
When they saw Jiang Yun, they didn't mince words and directly told him why they came to him, "We want to eat pig tails. You sneak into the Su family's pig pen tonight and take the pig tail from one of the pigs."
Cut it off and give it to us tomorrow."
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yun was surprised and said in a shocked tone, "Cut off pig tails? Are you kidding me? Those pigs have to wait until the end of the year to be handed in. If the pigs don't have tails, they won't accept them."
"We are not asking you to cut off the tail of the mission pig, but the two extra ones from the Su family."
"Yes, yes, yes, you don't know that there are two more pigs in the Su family, right?" They surrounded Jiang Yun and said, "There are black circles drawn on the two pigs. If you sneak in at night, if you can't see clearly
Just light the candles, it’s obvious.”
Jiang Yun refused: "I won't go, that pig belongs to the Su family."
"Fart, that belongs to everyone in our village. My mother makes me go to the mountains to cut pig grass every day, even when it rains. Why can't we eat pig tails?"
"Just tell me, Jiang Yun, if you don't do what we say, we will come to your door every day and read limericks like before. Your mother and you will definitely be driven away by your aunt."
"Jiang Yun, your surname is neither Luo nor Huang. If you want to stay in Luohu Village, you should be of some use."
"Isn't it just cutting off the pig's tail? As long as you are fast, no one will notice it. As long as no one notices it, it's fine." They raised a wicked smile and lowered their voices and said, "Just like when you stole things before, you
You won’t forget what you did before, right?”
Jiang Yun clenched his hands tightly into fists, gritted his teeth, and was trembling all over.
"It's easy to steal pig tails, we believe you."
One of the boys smiled and patted Jiang Yun's arm, "We are waiting for you."
After everyone left, Jiang Yun still stood stiffly on the spot. For a long time, he lowered his head and glanced at his left hand, and the cute little face of a little girl appeared in his mind.
