Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

At the same time, the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also returned to the Intermediate Court.

After a whole morning of searching, occasionally spending a little money on buying, and begging in the market, the two of them had found more than ten kinds of seeds before evening. As for the remaining money, it naturally fell into their pockets.

The two returned to the compound happily, feeling extremely proud.

As for Yan Jiecheng and his younger brothers and sisters, the four of them also gained a lot in the morning.

Earlier, when there were not many people in the market, the four did not go to the market, but went door to door in the nearby courtyards to ask for it.

After Yan Jiecheng's correction, the four of them decided not to ask for quantity, so they only asked for a few seeds each time. In this way, basically every family in the door would give one or two seeds.

Of course, most of them are common seeds, corn kernels, wheat kernels, etc., which cannot meet the variety requirements proposed by Yan Bugui.

Therefore, two hours later, the four of them went to the market and took advantage of the lunch break to ask for the remaining seeds and successfully completed the task.

……

after get off work.

Duan Jinsheng took Xiao Yun to the farmer's house where the piglets were being sold.

This is a village on the edge of the city. The two of them drove out to save time.

As the leader of a team, Duan Jinsheng still has some power. As long as he is not at work and does not run too far, even if he is seen by the leader, he will turn a blind eye.

Duan Jinsheng drove the car and the two of them drove at high speed all the way to the farmer's house before it got dark.

When he saw Duan Jinsheng again, the farmer subconsciously took a step back. Duan Jinsheng had bought half of the piglets from him in the morning, and he still felt a little scared.

Duan Jinsheng looked at Xiao Yun somewhat embarrassedly and walked forward slowly.

"Comrade, didn't we agree this morning that I would come over to buy piglets after get off work tonight?"

Perhaps fearing that the farmers might misunderstand, Duan Jinsheng pulled Xiao Yun who was beside him.

"Comrade, he bought it this time."

The farmer looked at Xiao Yun and examined him from head to toe.

Xiao Yun was wearing a large army green cotton-padded jacket and had a faint smile on his face. When he saw the farmer's gaze, he hurried forward.

"Comrade, my relative is also from the countryside. The pigs he raised were bought by the production team and slaughtered for meat. He wants to raise a few more and asked me to buy them. Do you think it's convenient?"

Seeing Xiao Yun's sincere look, the farmer hesitated for a moment and nodded twice, "Okay, as long as you can accept the price, you can pick any one within five."

Xiao Yun smiled, glanced at Duan Jinsheng, and nodded.

Then the farmer took the two people into the pigpen.

In the pigpen, an old sow was lying on her side, with nearly ten piglets clustered around her belly.

At this moment, they are eating milk happily.

Looking at so many piglets, Xiao Yun took the opportunity to chat with the farmers.

"Comrade, you have about ten of them, right? Why are you only selling five?"

The farmer fished out his pipe from his pocket, lit it and took two puffs, then waved his hand and explained to Xiao Yun: "Two of these piglets will be kept and sold, and three will be sold to others. Only five can be sold."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Yun and asked, "How many does your relative want to buy?"

Xiao Yun stretched out three fingers and shook them, "Three, two males and one female."

The farmer nodded. "If you want to eat meat, the two boars need to be castrated, otherwise the meat will become smelly. Do you want me to help you?"

Before Xiao Yun could say anything, Duan Jinsheng held his chest and spoke, "Comrade, if he is castrated, what if he dies before we get home? These days are not easy, if we buy a dead piglet, no one can accept it."

The farmer waved his hand while holding his pipe in his mouth, "No, I have been beating pigs since I was a child. I have done this job for many landlords in the past. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Duan Jinsheng no longer questioned it.

Xiao Yun slowly said, "How about this, I don't know what my relative wants, you can castrate one of the males first, so that if they need meat later, he can take care of the other one when he gets back."

The farmer nodded, and immediately helped Xiao Yun to pick the pigs.

The three piglets cost a total of thirty-six dollars, plus fifty cents for castrating a boar, for a total of thirty-six dollars and fifty cents.

Xiao Yun readily handed the money to the farmer, and then he and Duan Jinsheng each picked up a burlap sack filled with piglets and left the pigpen.

Xiao Yun originally wanted to buy one at a time, fatten them up and eat their meat, but after thinking it over he decided not to do so.

The reason is very simple. It is normal to raise a pig to 300 kilograms for meat.

Excluding the internal organs and bones, there is at least 150 kilograms of pure meat left.

Eating a pound of pork every day is enough to last for half a year, not to mention the occasional fish, chicken, and other foods, which is still acceptable.

But there was one thing Xiao Yun couldn't accept, and that was that he had to buy piglets every year and wait for them to grow up before he could eat them.

At the same time, Xiao Yun had no idea whether one pig was enough to eat.

This is troublesome.

If Xiao Yun bought boars and sows, after they reproduced, by the time the meat of one pig was eaten, the other piglets would have grown up. By then, he could have a complete supply of meat again.

Besides, now that I have piglets, at least I can be guaranteed to have lard for every meal in the future.

Fat can be used to refine oil, and lean meat can be fried into jerky in addition to cooking. This is not only convenient, but also provides a more convenient and delicious dry food when driving out.

After comprehensive consideration, Xiao Yun decided to buy three. Although he felt bad about spending more than 30 yuan at once, he had to do it.

It is worth mentioning that even if Xiao Yun had no money, he could still bring food back to the compound.

After all, how could the people living in the courtyard know whether Xiao Yun had money? They had no way to verify it.

After returning to the city by car, Duan Jinsheng wanted to send Xiao Yun to his relatives' house, but Xiao Yun refused.

Where did these relatives come from? It was just an excuse made by Xiao Yun.

Duan Jinsheng confirmed several times and after making sure that Xiao Yun didn't need it, he drove away alone.

Xiao Yun carried two bags and turned into an unknown alley. After checking that there was no one around, he went straight into the space.

The space is quiet and peaceful.

The hen that had been incubating eggs earlier had already hatched the chicks, and was now leading the chicks to kick the soil in search of insects to eat.

The other rooster still stood proudly on the side, occasionally glancing at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun untied the two bags and the three piglets were released.

Just like the three chickens before, they were restless outside, but immediately became quiet once they entered the space, but were still lively.

One of the castrated piglets still had a large amount of purple medicine on its butt. It kept screaming in pain when it entered the space, but it became quiet as soon as it entered the space.

Xiao Yun casually broke off a few corns and threw them away. At the same time, he also picked some watermelons and cantaloupes and crushed them for the piglets to eat.

Because of the season, these things could not be given to Xiao Aiguo.
