After becoming a big farmer

Zhou Shu and Chen Jianjiao talked for a long time, and after another night, they rushed back to Xinzhou City early the next morning. Of course, Chen Zhixiong would only think that she was going to Guixi.

Chen Zhixiong watched the carriage go away, and muttered: "I don't know what happened to Brother An over there, but it's a pity that Huaniang refused to marry Yanniang to Brother An, otherwise..."

When Chen Jianjiao heard her father's words, she thought that her aunt wished to marry her elder sister to her brother. Fortunately, her uncle and elder sister had their own ideas and chose Qi Silang.

Thinking of Qi Silang, the tip of her tongue was slightly bitter, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart.

Zhou Shu didn't think about the matter of Qi Sanlang and Chen Jianjiao deliberately after returning home, but when she occasionally met Qi Sanlang in Chuting Township, she would inevitably pay more attention to her than before.

She still remembered that when she first met Qi Sanlang, he was a man with a slightly cold and arrogant face, but he had always been very quiet, but now his face was a little gloomy, and he was quieter than before.

Seeing him like this, Qi Wang took him to his piggery, pointed at his pig with a painful expression on his face: "I'll give third brother a pig, third brother can pick whatever he wants!"

Qi Sanlang looked disgusted: "What do I want your pig for?"

"Eat! My pig is delicious!"

Qi Sanlang felt a suffocation in his heart, he couldn't go up or down, but he was so angry, he said bitterly: "I'm not in the mood or appetite, even if the whole pig feast is in front of me, I won't be able to eat it!"

"Garlic pork ribs, braised pork, stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage, five-spice barbecue, stewed pork with potatoes..."

Qi Sanlang swallowed subconsciously, and when he realized that these delicacies were just his imagination, he gave Qi Wangwang a hard look and said, "You're never finished, what do you want to do?"

"I want to do business with the third brother!"

Qi Sanlang just wanted to choke her as before, but when he realized what she said, surprise instantly crept into his eyes.

"What did you say?"

Qi Wangwang said: "I know you have a lot of friends, third brother..."

Qi Sanlang thought to himself: "Who is this satirizing? If I have many friends, how can I describe the number of friends of the elder brother and the second brother?" many.Thinking of this, he did not refute Qi Wangwang's words.

"...And among the third brother's friends, many of them are classmates who met in Yixue. Although not every classmate has a reputation, they are at least learned people..."

Qi Sanlang couldn't help interrupting her: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Qi Wangwang was mysterious: "Does the third brother know child care? It is the kind of cultured child care, who uses professional methods in some knowledge, such as evaluation and so on, to recommend a certain product. Although it sounds different from me. It doesn’t matter if you are a pig farmer, but as we all know, people in the world, especially our rich and self-proclaimed superior official family..."

Qi Sanlang seemed to understand what she said earlier, but when he heard what she said later, his brows were frowned, and he thought to himself, is there such a thing as hurting himself?But thinking of Qi Wangwang's temper, he was relieved again.

"...the pork is disdainful, so many high-minded and proud scholars look down on pork. I think that if you want to change the thinking of the world, you have to start by changing the thinking of the scholars, so I want to make a deal with the third brother , please help my third brother to let those friends advertise in the circle for me, of course, if I can publish a book, like Su Dongpo's example of making Dongpo meat famous, I will naturally be more than happy."

Qi Sanlang: "..."

"Who is Su Dongpo?" he asked.

"A great writer who loves pork."

Qi Sanlang didn't believe it: "I've never heard of it!"

Qi Wangwang didn't argue with him so much anymore, and said, "Third Brother, do you agree or not?"

Qi Sanlang turned around and left, is he stupid?And would he care about cooperating with Qi Hopeful?What can he get?He didn't pay much attention to the money.

However, just two steps away, he turned back again: "If you agree to help me, I can consider helping you."

"Pigs are up to you. I can't help you with the matter of interceding with your father and begging to marry Sister Chen."

Qi Sanlang said angrily: "Forget it, I won't ask you for help!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Dare Qi hope to ask him for help, and he doesn't even pay any money, but only plans to pay with pigs?This is too stingy!Was he someone who would compromise for a pig? !

Two days later, he came to Qi Wangwang: "How do you write that advertisement?"

Qi Wangwang didn't know why he changed his mind, so he just said: "As long as they taste my pork, they can tell the truth how it tastes. If they write a poem, I will give third brother ten coins as a kickback. "Ode", I will give the third brother [-] Wen as a kickback."

If it weren't for Qi Sanlang not caring how much money she could give, he might be really pissed off by this stingy younger brother, he said: "You give me a pig, and after the work is done, exchange the money for pork, and the poems are written one by one." Pounds of pork!"

"make a deal!"

Qi Wangwang asked Qi Sanlang to pick a pig and let the servants in his yard carry it away, and then asked: "The third brother wants to entertain friends? For what?"

Qi Sanlang was taken aback, and hummed: "I will advertise for you, nothing else has to do with you, so don't worry about it."

Qi Wangwang was curious, but since he didn't say anything, she wouldn't bother to ask.Advertisement in Qi Sanlang's circle of friends is just one of the strategies she decides to develop the breeding industry. Not only does she want to increase the sales of pork, she also wants to change the world's perception of pigs!

When she has accumulated enough capital, she will raise other animals.

First of all, she has to raise cattle, because cattle only give birth once a year, and they are indispensable livestock in the farming society. If they raise a lot, if they cannot be sold at that time, they can be rented for a lot of rent.

Of course, although there is a market demand for beef right now, it is not allowed by the policy after all, so she will not start from this aspect.

Donkeys and mules are next. Donkeys are more common nowadays, but mules are rare. They are a hybrid of horses and donkeys. They have no reproductive capacity, so they are rare in number and more expensive than cows and donkeys.

The mule is undoubtedly the best "tool animal" among all domestic animals. First, it doesn't need much food to grow; second, it can endure hardships and stand hard work comparable to cattle; third, it is so strong that it can do the rough work of a donkey; and finally It has strong disease resistance, unlike horses that are pampered.

A cow is only five to seven yuan, a donkey is ten yuan, and a common horse is more than ten yuan. The price of a pony mule is the same as that of a cow. If it is an adult horse mule, the price will naturally go up.

Qi Wangwang’s major in university in her previous life included the subject of animal reproduction. She could raise horses and donkeys, and let male donkeys and female horses give birth to horse mules, and let male horses and female donkeys give birth to donkey mules, which can greatly increase the use value with economical value!

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to start the brand of her pork.Although people who have eaten her pork are full of praise for it and cannot forget the taste, but taking the Qi family as an example, Qi Chen will not take the initiative to advertise for her, so her pork is delicious, and it is only limited to Qi The interior of the home is gone.

This is not what she wants, and as the first pigs are about to be ready for slaughter, she is also contacting the butchers.Those butchers would not buy her pork at a high price because she was the fourth son of the Qi family. Instead, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qi family didn't want to be famous for having a son who raises pigs, so they lowered the price.

After all, it was the first time to cooperate, and she didn't intend to put on a high profile, so she tried to negotiate with the other party, and at least raised the price back to the normal level.

Lin Po felt angry for her: "Mr. Silang's investment in raising pigs is equal to the selling price. How can he make any money?"

Qi Wangwang is not in a hurry: "It's just two ends, let him have some sweetness first, and then it's time for me to take the initiative."

The butcher asked her to buy two pigs, one pig weighed 250 catties, and the two pigs cost a total of seven pennies. Although it seemed that he lost money, he actually made a lot of money after selling them.

First of all, the price of pork is not really cheap. More than 20 years ago, the price of pork was [-] yuan a catty. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the purchasing power of copper coins has declined, and the price has naturally increased. A catty of pork has been sold for [-] yuan a catty. up.

A pig weighs 250 catties, and pure pork also weighs [-] catties. He can sell it for eight pennies a head.Of course, he had to slaughter it himself, and he had to pay the workers below, but after paying the wages and taxes, he still made twice as much!

When his wife found out that he went to buy pigs from others, she was very puzzled: "We have pigs at home, why do we need to buy them outside?"

The butcher said: "Young lady, I don't know. Look at these two pigs, are they cleaner than the ones raised in our family? And I heard that they are gray and white pigs from Lingnan. They are white and fat, and they grew up on tea."

As he spoke, he laughed again, "We took advantage of Qi Silang, and I earned all the money for the pigs he raised!"

His wife was a little uneasy: "What if Qi Silang finds out and he comes to find fault?"

The butcher was not afraid, and said: "Then Qi Silang looked like he was raising for fun. The Qi family has a lot of money, so he won't take this little loss to heart."

Before dawn the next day, he slaughtered two pigs, processed them, and sold them in his own butcher shop.Those who get up early to buy vegetables are basically the surrounding residents and the back kitchens of restaurants. Although those who can afford to go to restaurants to eat are basically people with a certain family background, but the price of mutton is around 130 yuan a catty, and the family of small officials cannot eat it often. Not to mention people who are just small and well-off, so pork is also a secondary choice for these people.

Anyone who comes to buy meat can find that the butcher’s pork seems to be better today than in the past. People who don’t know much can’t tell the difference, but those who choose pork vegetables and fruits all the year round can tell at a glance that the meat has a good texture and tight texture. And tender, it will bounce back when pressed, and the fishy smell is not obvious.

"Today's pork is so fresh!" The meat buyer yelled, and it seemed to be sarcasm.

The butcher knew that he was ridiculing that his pork was not fresh in the past, so he argued with him: "My pork is fresh every day, but your eyes are still sharp. Today's pork has a lot of background!"

Everyone was curious: "What is it?"

The butcher proudly said: "This meat was raised by Mr. Qi's Sirang. You all know that Mr. Qi's Sirang is a delicate brother. He also raises pigs in a different way. He not only raises them with fresh potato seedlings and rice bran, but also feeds them. They bought tea, so they called their pigs 'tea-scented pigs'!"

Everyone laughed and said, "Then I have to smell the fragrance of tea!"

Some people said they couldn't smell it, some people teased Qi Silang about raising pigs, but some people were already immune to Qi Wangwang's behavior.Although the butcher's words do not know the truth or falsehood, they did arouse people's interest.

They all had bad tastes in their hearts, thinking: "Qi Silang raised pigs for me to eat himself." It was as if they were riding on the heads of Qi Silang and the Qi family.

So the butcher's pork was quickly robbed.

The butcher made a lot of money, and his deeds were spread by word of mouth, and soon Qi Chen knew about it.He was really angry, so he caught Qi Wangwang to come over and scold him. Upon hearing the words, Fang rushed over and said, "Brother Chun didn't decide to raise pigs today, why did you go earlier?"

Qi Chen's face was livid. Earlier, Qi hoped to raise pigs for his family and friends. This did not hurt his Qi family's face, but once her pork was sold, it would be different.

Qi Wangwang is also a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "It doesn't matter whether they laugh or not, as long as I make money."

Qi Chen scolded: "Am I short of your food and clothing or your monthly money? Are you taking advantage of money?"

Qi Wangwang was protected by Mrs. Fang, and he scolded as if he was tickling Qi Wangwang. He became more and more angry, and finally waved his sleeves and left, not bothering to care about her anymore.

Zhou Shu was also curiously inquired and sympathized with because of this matter: "Yan Niang, don't be too sad, although that Qi Silang is a bit generous, but his family background is good..."

Zhou Shu didn't take those sympathetic words to heart at all: "I'm not sad, Shiro has a good family background, is pretty, she is also gentle and considerate to me, and takes care of me in every possible way. Eat meat. Such a good gentleman, where can I find him!"

Everyone: "..."

They obviously wanted to take the opportunity to hit Zhou Shu, so why did this man take the opportunity to show off instead? !

These people have only watched the joke for two days, and the wind direction seems to have changed. First, some poems praising the deliciousness of pork have been circulated in the scholar circle at some time, and some people even wrote "Ode to Pork" pointing out that Qi Wangwang How delicious the pigs are.

Of course, the circle is still small.

And the butcher also slowly discovered that more and more people came to him to buy the "tea-flavored pig" raised by Qi Wangwang, because after he sold out the tea-flavored pig on the first day, he sold it on the second day. But according to the feedback from the butchers, if they eat the pork from the butcher's house after eating the tea-flavored pig, they feel that other pork is no longer pork.

The butcher was very angry at first, why is his pork not pork?It's a pity that all the tea-flavored pigs were sold out, otherwise he would have to have a bite. Is there really that much difference between this tea-flavored pig and ordinary pigs!

He was angry, but the feedback from the people made him see "Qian Tu". After thinking twice, he decided to raise his own pigs for a while longer, and then went to Qi Wangwang to buy tea-flavored pigs. According to this momentum, He can't lose anything.

But when he found Qi Wangwang and wanted to talk about cooperation, Qi Wangwang said: "There are no suitable pigs!"

The butcher couldn't believe it: "There are still so many pigs, why are they gone!"

"The pigs in this area are only six months old, and the ones in this area are bigger, only seven months old, and the pigs I sold to you are only eight months old, so I want to keep them longer, at least keep these pigs Raise it to three hundred catties."

The butcher's eyes widened: "It's only been eight months, and it weighs more than 200 catties?!" Like the ones raised by the villagers themselves, they only barely weighed two hundred catties after one year of raising them. How did Qi hopeful raise them?

Qi Wangwang didn't understand this point. The pigs she raised grew very fast. If they were placed in modern times, they would definitely be said to have taken hormones.But the truth is, she just followed the scientific feeding method, and these pigs grew so fast.

The butcher didn't care so much, he pointed to those fat pigs: "Then these can be sold!"

Qi Wangwang shook his head: "I want to keep these few ends for myself to eat, and I want to give these two ends to my future husband's family. There are others who want these."

The butcher was startled, and thought, could it be that someone beat him?So he made insinuations about who was robbing him of the deal.

Qi Wangwang pretended to be sophisticated, but the butcher was really intimidated by her, and couldn't figure it out, so he had to raise the price.

Qi Wangwang learned a few negotiating skills with Zhou Shu, and she took advantage of the butcher's eagerness to buy pigs and raised the price step by step.

The butcher played a few tricks with her, and found that he might not be able to make a consistent amount of money in the end, and was about to retreat when Qi Wangwang pretended to have heard the name "Tea Fragrance Pig" unintentionally, and said, "I heard this name before." Yes, but my pig also grew up eating tea, so it is very appropriate to name the pig with tea fragrance. And in the entire Xinzhou City, I am afraid that only my pig can be called tea fragrance pig!"

The butcher has a steelyard in his heart. It has to be said that Qi Wangwang's pigs seem to be very popular, and his name will only become more and more famous with the status of the Qi family. If he raises the price of pork by then, He is not bad either.

So he spent [-] pennies to buy three pigs that Qi hopeful was going to leave to the Qi family, and when he slaughtered them again and sold them in the butcher shop, he also put up the signboard of "tea fragrant pigs" .

Many people were curious: "Is this the tea-flavored pig raised by Qi Silang? I heard that the taste is not like ordinary pork, and it also has a faint tea fragrance..."

Where did the butcher eat it, but this did not prevent him from boasting in order to sell the pork: "That's right, this is a real tea-flavored pig!"

……

Qi Wangwang happily goes to Zhou's house to share the joy of her pig's popularity with Zhou Shu, but finds that both Zhou Shu and the Chen family seem to be preoccupied.

She asked Zhou Shu, "Did the tea garden suffer from some kind of trouble again?"

Zhou Shu said: "After the news of the marriage with the Qi family came out, no one dared to make things difficult for the Zhou family anymore. My father and I are not worried about these things, but about Jiao Niang."

Zhou Shu also didn't treat Qi Wangwang as an outsider, and told her that Chen Zhixiong knew from somewhere that Qi Sanlang wanted to marry Chen Jianjiao, but Qi Chen refused to agree because of his family background.

So he came to find Zhou Yuanwai and the Chen family, hoping that they would adopt Chen Jianjiao as their adopted daughter. In this way, she and Zhou Shu would become sisters, and since Qi Silang could marry Zhou Shu, then Qi Sanlang could naturally marry Chen Jianjiao .

Not to mention Zhou Yuanwai, even Mrs. Chen was shocked by his proposal. Zhou Yuanwai, who was finally in shape, was so angry that he lay back on the hospital bed again. parted ways.

Qi Wangwang was stunned: "Is this considered selling a daughter? But is there still such a sale?"

This idea is really coquettish. She has heard of people who find someone to recognize their adopted sons and daughters in order to be registered in the family, but those households are all based on the premise of the death of their father, and Chen Zhixiong simply sold his daughter. ah!

She muttered: "I went home recently and found that my father's attitude seems to be a little loose. It must be that the third brother is really persistent, and father can't hold him back, so he let go!"

Zhou Shu frowned, Qi Wangwang didn't think these two things were related, but she felt that there must be a connection. First of all, how did Chen Zhixiong know that Qi Sanlang was asking to marry Chen Jianjiao?

She only told Chen Jianjiao about this matter, and she resisted marrying Qi Sanlang at that time, obviously she couldn't have brought it up by herself.

Secondly, how did Chen Zhixiong know that the Qi family rejected the marriage because Qi Sanlang and Chen Jianjiao were not in the same household?He must have known about this, that's why he wanted Zhou Yuanwai to recognize Chen Jianjiao as his adopted daughter.

She didn't think that Chen Zhixiong's father's love suddenly broke out, and he did it for Chen Jianjiao's happiness. He probably thought Chen Jianjiao was a cash cow. Saburo's husband...

Zhou Shu soon thought of Chen Zizai. Although Chen Zizai did not come forward in this matter at all, and even came out to oppose Chen Zhixiong's doing so, his attitude was not tough.

It's a pity that Zhou Shu didn't know if there was any contact between him and Qi Sanlang, and what role he played in it.

"Since the future father-in-law has already refused, I think Sister Chen's father won't be so ignorant to mention these things again, little lady don't have to think so much, look, there are wrinkles!" Qi Wangwang said.

Zhou Shu looked at Qi Wangwang, who was still so carefree and heartless, with fierce eyes: "What did you say?"

After all, he picked up the bronze mirror and looked at his face, "Where are the wrinkles?"

Qi Wangwang pointed to his brow: "Here."

Zhou Shu: "..."

She couldn't hold back, and still chuckled.

After being made such a gag by Qi Wangwang, her mood really improved.She couldn't even imagine how boring her life would be without Qi Wangwang by her side in the future.

Thinking of this, she was slightly taken aback again, and then slowly realized that Qi Wangwang seems to occupy more and more positions in her life.

-

At the beginning of October, the weather was noticeably cooler—yellow-green leaves appeared sparsely on the original emerald green branches, and the leaves that fell on the ground were yellow and green.

Many people have put on interlayer clothes, and the cold drink sellers in the streets and alleys have completely disappeared, and more hot food sellers have turned instead.

Before dawn every day, restaurants and food shops opened early, selling steaming breakfast food.The staple foods include rice, porridge, vermicelli, cakes, steamed buns and buns. Of course, there are also delicious noodles and dumplings for the northerners.

The most popular recently are pork steamed buns and pork vermicelli.Of course, these fillings are not all pork, and many people specify the pork of tea fragrant pig.

Since Qi Wangwang's tea-flavored pig became famous among ordinary people last month, more and more people who were lucky enough to eat pork buns in a small number of restaurants have also remembered the name of "tea-flavored pig".

Because with the popularity of tea-flavored pigs, the price of tea-flavored pigs and pork has also increased accordingly. Many people who seldom eat pork once or twice a month can’t afford it anymore. They can only buy some pork buns and go back to taste the taste.

Someone was very puzzled by this, and sneered, "Isn't it just pork? Does it taste better if it's more expensive? Aren't you being taken advantage of?"

People who have eaten tea-flavored pork hesitated and said: "Tea-flavored pork is delicious, but I don't know why, after eating that pork, I feel much more energetic, and I can work faster than usual!"

Although some people echoed his words, they were quickly refuted: "Of course you have enough energy to work after eating and drinking. What's the matter with pork? Even if it's related to meat, it's probably because you haven't eaten it for a long time." It’s meaty, so it’s rare to eat it once, and of course it’s delicious.”

Some people "suddenly realized", and some people with a little more money could not resist the temptation of tea-flavored pigs, and would still buy them and eat them.

Of course, because the price of tea-flavored pigs is a bit high, the people at the bottom still cannot afford them, and some literati who can’t afford mutton will choose tea-flavored pigs. , I also disdain to eat.

Even so, this has already brought a lot of profits to Qi Wang, and she can further expand the scale of the Vitality Garden!

The author has something to say: two in one.

-

In the Song Dynasty, there are relatively few records on the price of pigs sold, and the price has been rising in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, so the price here will also rise compared to the Qinghe landlord period.Summary: Those who sell pigs are all nonsense, there is no need to be serious.

In addition: the steamed buns in the article are actually steamed buns, the steamed buns in the text are still steamed buns, and the steamed cakes are the modern steamed buns.
