Chapter 540 Buying Piglets

"Buy? Then I'll make it cheaper for you. How many do you want?"

"Let me tell you, my rabbits are very tender and the meat is fat. You can stew them at home and eat them. They will be delicious. You can also add some radish or sticky yams. The whole village can smell the smell."

"Do you know about sticky yams? They are found in the mountains, the ones with climbing vines..."

He was visibly excited and chattering a bit.

Su Ziling interrupted him, "I want as much as you have in your house."

"Huh?" The man was a little confused, his words stopped suddenly, and he looked at her blankly.

Su Ziling raised her eyebrows, "Why, not selling it?"

He came back to his senses and was so happy that he responded repeatedly: "Sell, sell, sell!"

Su Ziling asked briefly. He had about forty or fifty that could be sold at home, and the others were still small.

Considering that she wanted them for a long time, he kept a few more female rabbits, lowered the price to one hundred cents each, and agreed to send them directly to Mulberry Ping in two days.

Su Ziling will be there to pick him up when the time comes.

The Su Ziling in his hand simply took them back together.

After buying the rabbits, the father and daughter walked a little further inside. The piglets were at the very end. There weren't many, just five. They looked like they were picked by others.

Three of them looked quite fat, while the remaining two were a bit thinner, and looked like two litters.

The father and daughter looked at each other, "Dad, do you want to buy this?"

Su's father looked at those piglets and his eyebrows were furrowed with worry.

The father and daughter just stood in front of the stall without saying a word, looking straight at the piglets. The piglet seller frowned, with a somewhat unhappy face, "Are you going to buy it or not?"

"Let's take a look." Su's father replied, then looked at Su Ziling, "How about buying it?"

The last five piglets were bought, the three big ones were counted as 400 cents each, and the two smaller ones were counted as 300 cents each.

The five piglets cost a total of one tael and eighty cents, which made Su's father feel very distressed. This piglet was worth several hundred taels of silver, so the raised one was probably worth about three taels of silver.

Taking into account the cost, labor, food, and time, this pig cannot earn much money at all. The prerequisite for making money is that the piglets grow up healthily. If they get sick or something, it is really like drawing water from a bamboo basket. All wasted.

Father Su tied the piggy's feet, and the two baskets were just big enough.

Put the two extra large ones aside, put the two small ones and the medium one aside. Feeling the weight in the backpack, Su's father was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Of course, the piglet seller was also very happy. All of them were sold out at once. While cleaning up the stall, he didn't forget to talk to Su's father and the others.

"Go slowly, you two. If you want to buy something next time, come here!"

He has a sow at home and can earn several taels of silver every year by selling piglets.

After buying the piglets, Su Ziling and the others headed straight for the city gate without any further delay.

Father Su was carrying a few piglets, his steps were windy, and he didn't feel tired at all. "Do you still want to buy something? Or should you go back directly?"

"I still have to go to the restaurant. I haven't settled the matter with Uncle Wang last time."

After sending Su's father to the city gate, Su Ziling returned to Xinghua Tower and signed the contract with Wang Fusheng.

The amount of preserved eggs still needs to be increased. Vermicelli Su Ziling didn’t dare to promise too much, fearing that the production could not keep up, so she only promised him 500 kilograms a month, and the price was still 200 yuan per kilogram, but she did not provide dried meat, vegetable bags, or seasonings. .

After setting a delivery time, Su Ziling went to buy some meat and bones, ordered several hundred kilograms of whole grains, and asked the people at the grain and oil store to deliver them directly to the restaurant.

Time was tight, so Su Ziling didn't go to the academy to see Su Zimu and Axiu. After buying things, she went straight home with Su's father.

Hurrying and hurrying, the sun was already setting when I got home, and the pig in the basket couldn't make a sound.

"You're back? Why are you so late today?" As soon as he entered the door, Su's mother greeted him.

She took Su Ziling's backpack and said, "Are you hungry? The food is ready. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"It's a bit. Mom, I didn't feel it even if you didn't tell me." Su Ziling let go of the backpack and went to pick up Su's father.

"You didn't eat anything on the street, did you? Next time, buy some cakes or something like that and take it with you. When you get hungry on the way, you can take it out to eat."

"Huh? Didn't you say we were buying piglets? What about rabbits? We already have rabbits at home."

"The piglet is at my dad's place. I bought the rabbit casually. I plan to make dried rabbit. It is easier to store and then sell it to the passing caravans. I happened to meet a rabbit seller today and asked them a few more questions. I have a lot of food, so I asked him to order some and they will be delivered in a few days.”

It was starting to get hot during the day, so Su Ziling asked for some banana leaves to cover the basket in case the piglets couldn't stay in the sun.

Take away the banana leaf, the piglet is a little wilted.

"Ah! This piggy is quite strong. Untie him quickly. He has been tied up for a whole day."

Mother Su squatted beside the basket, looking at the two plump piglets, smiling so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.

"The piglets were chosen very well, but did you only buy two?"

"There are three more here, but two of them need to be thinner. We thought they would be a litter, so we took them together. But where are these piglets going to be kept? This pen is not even empty."

"Let's close the chicken pen first. There's still room over there. After the pigs are killed on the third day of junior high school, we can close the piglets over there."

The piglets were temporarily locked in the chicken coop. Mother Su carried two bundles of hay and put them on them. She also dug out the two bamboo pig troughs where wild boars were fed before and poured some water into them.

The piglets shrank in the corner in shock as soon as they landed. The slightest movement would startle them.

Looking at the trembling piglet, Mother Su frowned and said, "This is a shock. Do you want to throw some grass in for it to eat?"

Su Ziling shook her head, "You can't feed them raw grass. I've just been frightened. I'm afraid I'll have diarrhea if I eat grass. And judging from how fat they are, I guess they've just been weaned. Let's cook them some sweet potato residue and add some corn bran." , add less hogweed and add more after they get used to it.”

"It's done!" Mother Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's eat first. I'll cook pig food for it. Once the rice is done, it's almost ready to feed."

Considering that they were frightened today, Su Mu didn't cook too much. She added half a bowl of bran and sweet potato residue and cooked it until it was rake. She also grabbed a handful of pigweed and cooked it together.
