Hello 1983

That has to be sold, so we can't take it back.

So everyone gathered around, chattering and arguing, and the boss uncle was almost drowned in spit.

Uncle Boss was unmoved in the slightest, and killed forty cents a catty, and agreed to weigh it.

Finally, there was a seller who couldn't hold on, and sold the piglets first, basically about ten catties each, and the smallest one, the boss waved his hands repeatedly and said.

"You're just grinding scum, you don't grow meat by eating, don't want it, don't want it for nothing."

The so-called Momozhaer is the smallest piglet in a litter, because he can't grab food or is a picky eater, so he grows up to be the smallest.

There is a local saying that goes: If you raise pigs, you don't raise mills, and if you marry a daughter-in-law, you can't marry an old lady.

The so-called old girl is the old girl in the family, who is usually used to it in the family, and is worried that she is a lazy master.

"The remaining one, I have to get it back, so you just pay for the two?"

Selling pigs is not easy, so Liu Qingshan estimated it at three yuan, and the basic price is about the same as other piglets.

In the end, four big baskets were left behind, and the black, white, and flowered piglets were put into the four big baskets, and the seller was asked to help carry them to the carriage.

Every piglet, the boss uncle would personally lift the hind legs upside down and put them into the basket, and even scratch the piglet's chin.

He didn't think it was dirty either. After scratching, he rubbed a handful on his pants before continuing to catch the piglets.

Those piglets didn't know what was going on at first, and thought they were going to be stabbed. They screamed miserably, and the shrill sound spread throughout the market.

It wasn't until being scratched by the uncle boss that it felt good, and then the moaning stopped.

A total of 52 piglets cost less than 200 yuan, which is really not expensive.

Che Boss also beamed: "It's very hot today, we have to go back quickly, buy two steamed buns, and just use it as a cushion for the road."

So he went to the supply and marketing agency to drag out the purchased Gao Wenxue, and when he passed by the gate of the post office, Yang Hongying also came out after making a phone call.

One call, several hours.

It's not that it takes a long time to call, but mainly because of the long waiting time. After the first call, the other party has to call someone now, and the second call is the right one.

Liu Qingshan went to the commune cafeteria to buy food, and there happened to be vegetable buns for sale, so he bought ten of them, and everyone shared them.

Stomach padded a little, Liu Qingshan, Gao Wenxue and Yang Hongying walked slowly behind the carriage, there was really no place to sit in the carriage.

There is a grinder in the middle, and four baskets are placed at the four corners. They are connected to the grinder with hemp ropes to prevent bumps on the road.

Liu Qingshan asked Yang Hongying: "Mr. Yang, how much did you spend on the phone call? The village is responsible for reimbursement."

These days, making a phone call is really expensive, costing a few cents per minute, and there is a two-way charge.

A phone call basically costs several dollars, not to mention that Yang Hongying's call may be an international long distance call, which is even more expensive and makes people shudder.

"Not much money. My friend from the island country is studying in the capital. She still needs to contact her own country. It will take a few days for news. I will call her again next week."

Yang Hongying has a straightforward personality, these days she lives and eats for free at Liu Shikui's house, and she doesn't want anything from Qian and his wife.

Occasionally, Liu Qingshan's family cooks something delicious, such as fried matsutake or something, and she will be called, so of course this phone fee is not acceptable.

Liu Qingshan stopped being hypocritical: "Okay, let's go home and treat you to a big meal. Today, my brother-in-law bought meat and two hares. I'll go back and smoke them."

The three of them were walking and chatting at the back, when they saw the big carriage in front of them jerk violently, and then a crate containing piglets wobbled a few times and rolled down from the carriage.

Liu Qingshan yelled that it was not good, there were bushes and wolves on both sides of the road, and the piglets ran so fast that they got into the woods, where could they find them?

In that case, the money to buy piglets would not have gained wings and flew away, but would have gained legs and run away.

Chapter 57 A Raven Turns into a Phoenix

As soon as the basket fell to the ground, the piglets in it quickly got out, and they were obviously frightened, and ran away in all directions with a whimper.

What Liu Qingshan was most worried about really happened. The dozen or so little pigs seemed to be bombed, running so fast, it might be difficult to catch up.

"Hello--"

Boss Che raised his voice and yelled, the panicked little pig was stunned for a moment, then Bu froze his ears and looked at the boss vigilantly.

I saw the owner of the car squatting on the ground, chattering non-stop, and soon, a little piglet ran back.

The boss uncle stretched out his hand and gently scratched the little pig's neck. The piglet even used its small nose to arch twice on the boss uncle's pants, leaving a water stain.

Little Piggy likes to be tickled the most, and makes a comfortable humming sound from his nose. After being scratched, he simply lies on the ground and enjoys it.

The other little pigs also slowly gathered around, surrounding the boss uncle, and the owner of the car was too busy with his hands.

Liu Qingshan and Gao Wenxue wanted to go up to help, but he stopped them with gestures.

In the end, the dozen or so little pigs were all coaxed back into the big basket by the owner of the car. Several people worked together to lift them back to the carriage and reconnect the frayed ropes. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Boss, you are the best!"

Liu Qingshan is really convinced now, and he also understands that when the boss uncle was in the market, he personally grabbed the piglets and wiped his hands on his pants seemingly casually.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to hygiene, but that he has the familiar smell of piglets on his body, and the pig's nose is very smart, so he can successfully tame these little guys.

Each industry has its own way, and it needs to be explored slowly in practice, and it takes hard work to be the best.

Just like the greenhouse they are about to start, they have no practical experience before, and they need to work hard.

After experiencing this incident, Liu Qingshan's mind that was a little floating just now calmed down again.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and when we got back to Jiapigou, many villagers gathered around them. As soon as they saw these little piglets, they all went home to get the rope.

They tied up every piglet. The new piglet was born, and the side of the pigpen hadn't been repaired yet, so it had to be tied up for a few days first, so as not to get lost.

Tied pigs are not just tied up casually. If the legs are tied, it is easy to be strangled; even if the neck is tied, it may be strangled to death, and there are not so many neck collars.

It is necessary to tie the front legs and the back together, just like wearing a harness. The later method of tying pet dogs is probably inspired by this aspect.

"Qingshan, the pigsty over there hasn't been finished yet, why are you busy buying pigs?"

The old branch secretary couldn't help asking with a small cigarette pouch in his mouth.

Liu Qingshan chuckled a few times: "Grandpa branch secretary, once our pigpen is built, the price of piglets will probably skyrocket."

They are all old peasants. Of course, this principle is easy to understand.

The old branch secretary slapped his thigh fiercely: "That's the reason. At that time, there will be many people raising pigs. I'm afraid they won't be able to snatch the piglets."

Captain Zhang also added beside him: "Tomorrow is a big fair in the county, so let's set off early, send out a few big carriages, and buy enough piglets at once."

The scale of the pig farm under construction can raise about [-] fattening pigs and about ten old sows.

In this era, it can be regarded as a large pig farm. After all, every household can only raise two or three pigs.

Everyone researched for a while, and they all agreed, and even Liu Qingshan suggested: "Buy as much as you have, and if you have extra, you will definitely have no worries about selling it in a few days!"

Uncle Boss rolled his eyes and figured it out: "Haha, it's better for you to be smart, Qingshan, let's buy low and sell high to make a profit."

"This won't be said to be speculative, will it?"

The old party secretary was steady, so he asked a little worried.

These days, the law is not very sound, so many crimes that cannot be found in the law have all been stuffed into speculation.

At that time, there was a jingle that said: Speculation is like a basket, and all kinds of crimes are put in it.

"Grandpa branch secretary, don't worry, when the time comes, we will sell the piglets to them, and they will have to accept our favor."

Liu Qingshan knew in his heart that the pig farm was not run by an individual, and under the banner of the village collective, who would dare to label it indiscriminately?

Only then did everyone feel at ease, and then they discussed who would go to the county tomorrow. The eighth generation didn't go to the county, so they rushed to go.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Liu Qingshan didn't have to follow along. He was about to go home with his eldest brother-in-law, but was dragged away by the boss again.

Boss Che opened his voice: "Everyone be quiet, there is some great news, I'll let everyone know!"

The crowd immediately quieted down, and Che Boss pointed Gao Wenxue with his finger: "Literature has become a great writer this time, and the manuscript fee has taken more than 400, which is a big embarrassment for Jiapigou!"

Clap, clap, Liu Qingshan took the lead in clapping, and then, after a moment of stupefaction, everyone started applauding too.

To be honest, the villagers really didn't like educated youths like Gao Wenxue in the past, thinking that they couldn't do farm work, and that they couldn't be successful without writing.

But it's different now, they were all overwhelmed by the huge amount of manuscript fees, and they were full of calculations. In the entire Jiapigou, except for Grandpa Kidnapper, who can come up with this money?

It is also the first time that everyone knows: It turns out that you can make money by playing with pens, and you can still make a lot of money.

Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Gao Wenxue also became excited. After so many years, he also needs the approval of others. This has nothing to do with dignity, but the value of a man's existence.

"Thank you everyone, I will continue to work hard in the future and write more and better works!"

Gao Wenxue blushed and bowed vigorously to everyone.

"Please, please!"

Someone in the crowd started booing, needless to say, of course it was Zhang Ganzi.

As a result, he was stared at by the old branch secretary, and immediately dared not speak out, while the old branch secretary said bitterly, "Gaozi, you should study hard!"

In the past, Zhang Ganzi and Gao Wenxue lived in the North and South Kangs. In the eyes of the villagers, these two people were both inactive and indifferent, and they belonged to the same sign.

Now, Gao Wenxue suddenly soared into the sky, the crow turned into a phoenix, and the remaining poles seemed even more obtrusive.

"I also want to write articles to earn royalties, but I don't know how to read."

Zhang Ganzi spread his arms and looked innocent.

Everyone laughed and cursed for a while, arguing that this guy is hopeless.

Only Liu Qingshan stepped forward: "Uncle Ganzi, there are thousands of ways to make a fortune, raising pigs and chickens, farming land and vegetables, everything can make money, the key is to work hard."

If I am willing to do it, how about mixing it up like this now?

Zhang Ganzi also drooped his head and remained silent, and his heart gradually began to waver: He will soon be in his forties, and if he keeps messing around like before, he will be like that for the rest of his life...

When Liu Qingshan and Gao Wenxue returned home, they both carried large and small packages in their hands, and even Yang Hongying helped carry things.

Lin Zhi, who was drying mushrooms in the yard, was terrified: "Why do you buy so many things, are you not living?"

The youngest and fourth jumped up happily, and she saw it all: the yellow paper bag in the eldest brother-in-law's hand must be glutinous rice sticks, and you can see that they are one by one!

"Mom, here is the fleece I bought for you. It's getting cold, so I need to add more clothes."

After entering the room and putting all his things on the kang, Gao Wenxue picked up a sky blue sweater and held it in front of Lin Zhi, his face was also very excited.

Lin Zhi was overjoyed, then shook her head vigorously: "This color is too bright, let Jin Feng wear it."

Liu Qingshan quickly came up to help persuade: "Mom, this is the wish of the eldest brother-in-law, you can accept it."

But Liu Jinfeng couldn't help saying, took the woolen coat, put it on Lin Zhi's head, helped her mother put it on, and said happily: "Put on this dress, my mother will look ten years younger."

Lin Zhi smiled from ear to ear, and reached out to pat Gao Wenxue's arm: "Xuexue, thank you, Mom."

Gao Wenxue felt that his nose was a little acidic. Since he came to Jiapigou, he hadn't been home for six or seven years. He felt that his mother-in-law was not as close to him as his mother-in-law.

No one in this family has ever regarded him as an outsider.

Turning his back, wiping his eyes quietly, Gao Wenxue smiled on his face: "Fourth and fifth, this is a delicious food bought for you. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell your eldest brother-in-law, and I will definitely buy it for you!"

The two little girls were all happy.

At this time, grandparents also rushed over upon hearing the news, and Gao Wenxue picked up two more bottles of Xifeng wine: "Master, I honor this to you."

The supply and marketing cooperative did not sell Moutai, so he bought this wine.

Then he picked up two more cans of malted milk: "Milk, this is for you. I'll buy it for you after I finish drinking it."

"You child, why waste money, buy such expensive wine, and drink the clear water Daqu produced in our county."

Liu Shikui muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Liu Qingshan approached his grandfather, and said with a smile: "Master, the eldest brother-in-law is also a filial piety, if you don't drink, I will give it to Grandpa Kidnap later."

"you dare!"

Liu Shikui widened his eyes, and held the two cartons of wine in his arms very preciously. This is Xifeng wine, and it is also a famous wine.

After distributing the things, Gao Wenxue took out all the money from Liu Qingshan's satchel and put it in front of Lin Zhi: "Mom, this is the manuscript fee I got, and I will pay it to my family first."

so much?

Lin Zhi and the others were also surprised.

Liu Qingshan was beating on the side drums: "Brother-in-law, you don't hand over the money to my sister, be careful..."

He was the one who should be careful, before he finished speaking, Liu Jinfeng pinched his ears as soon as his ears hurt, causing Liu Qingshan to grin his teeth, and others grinned with joy.

Even Yang Hongying looked at him narrowly and smiled, feeling envious in her heart: The relationship between siblings is really good.
