Chapter 215 215. Master Zhang, the Pig Maker
Because of the shock of the Pig, Song Tan was much more simple and crude when picking the vegetable seedlings, and even added loofah and lentils.
In the eyes of the boss, he felt that she was very cheerful and a good customer, so he even suggested: "I think your vegetable garden is not small. It's fine this spring and summer, but when autumn and winter come, Do you want to build a greenhouse? If you want to build a greenhouse, come to me. Our family is very professional at this."
Song Tan hasn't decided yet.
It’s tiring all year round, so I plan to let my family rest in the winter. However, the resistance to rest probably comes from grandparents and parents.
After all, they can make money, and they will never want to miss it.
After returning home for a while, she had seen through her family’s money-grabbing mentality, and now she stopped talking.
I just asked in advance: "What can be grown in greenhouses in winter to sell?"
"Does that need to be said?" The vegetable boss said with excitement:
"Fruit, then you grow strawberries! At the strawberry base next to our urban area, a pound of strawberries costs thirty or fifty yuan during the Chinese New Year. You just have to say whether you make money or not!"
"As for other vegetables, Anything with green leaves, except cabbage, can be used in winter.”
Of course, those who do business have to boast about the good things. For example, they didn’t say that strawberries can’t be sold or the roads are closed. manage.
But for Song Tan, there are enough ingredients for 10 or 20 people at home for each meal. If you can't sell anything, you just pack up the vegetables and make sauce.
At most, you won’t make any money, and you won’t lose any money anyway.
She wrote this down and decided to think about it after Qiu and Dong were finished.
The most urgent task now is to bring Master Zhang, the pig maker.
Master Zhang is fifty-seven this year. In the city, he has just retired at this age, which is when he is full of energy. But in the village, he can already be said to be an old man.
He used to ride his bicycle back and forth in various villages to pick up work. Later, every household stopped raising pigs. When he got older, he lived in the town with his son.
Now I heard that someone was looking for me again, and the old man was quite happy:
"Isn't it forbidden to raise pigs at home? Do you still raise pigs at home? Are you sneaky?"
Song Tan laughed: "No, I have reported it. I don't raise them on the roadside, in the back hill." ”
Family farms can apply to raise pigs.
Master Zhang has a small satchel tied around his waist. It’s really not big, just about the size of a palm.
Song Tan glanced twice and asked Master Zhang to see it. At this moment, he patted the bag proudly: "The guys who are eating are all in there. They have been with me for more than 40 years."
"It's just that I haven't had much work in recent years, and my hands feel raw - what's going on with your pig?"
What can Song Tan say? Our dog stole a pup?
Let’s take a look at Spring and Autumn’s writing style: “Originally, all five pigs in our family were chopped, but a little wild boar ran down from the mountain some time ago, and we kept them together, so we decided to chop it to avoid fighting. . ”
That’s true. Wild boars run rampant in the pig pen. Domestic pigs have good tempers and are docile. It is not suitable if it affects their appetite and prevents them from growing meat.
But Master Zhang still has some regrets: "Your family is so lucky. You can't catch wild boars even if you go to the mountains. Why don't you keep them as breeding pigs?"
Song Tan was helpless.
Why? Because Ulan doesn't want to buy another sow.
According to her experience: “I haven’t raised pigs for several years. Originally, it would be quite risky to raise so many pigs this year. If I raise a sow and let it give birth to piglets, if something goes wrong in my family, Isn’t that a waste of money?”
“Be conservative in the first year.”
Furthermore, both Wang Lifen and Wu Lan think that wild boar meat is not delicious.
Since they had the power, Song Tan decided to give the wild boar a knife.
Since I was a kid, if I raise it for another year, the fishy smell will probably not be that strong at the end of the year, and maybe it will taste better!
Oh, the fairy sandalwood has been suffering for a long time! Master Zhang then nodded: "That's true. The wild boar has a good physique and a good temper after castration. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do it when it grows older."
He was also very happy: "I I haven’t killed a wild boar in the past few decades.”
After thinking for a while, he took out his cell phone: "Can I make a vibrato later?"
Song Tan:...
Yes, much more fashionable than her.
But she also reminded: "Be careful not to pass the review because of the blood."
"That's okay," Master Zhang was quite free and easy: "I can still post it on Moments."
"By the way," Song Tan hadn't asked yet: "How much does a pig cost here?"
Master Zhang thought for a while: "Originally, it should be twenty, but you are a wild boar, so I don't It’s quite rare, plus if you return home and pick up the car, I’ll give you ten yuan.”
Song Tan:...
If she wasn’t a cultivator, she would be holding it now. My hands on the steering wheel should be shaking.
Is it the case that her wild boar and car pick-up and delivery are not valuable, or is it the pig’s important belongings that are not valuable?
Master Zhang didn't notice her shock. This price was the market price in the village. After all, there are only two or three people who can cut pigs in all the villages. In the past, every household raised pigs. It was not a problem for him to earn three to five thousand from one job.
Of course, this price has not changed for at least ten years - because no one in the village raises pigs now!
He is now a retired old craftsman. If he doesn’t have money, just have it.
However, it is rare to have a career now, and Master Zhang is also looking forward to it: "In the future, you will have a piglet at home. Just call me when it is born, and I will come to your door to share it with you!"
That's a must!
Song Tan originally didn't want to raise old sows to give birth to piglets, but now the family has mentioned it, and it will be arranged sooner or later next year.
But at that time, the pig pen in the back mountain needed to be reorganized.
Hmm... I wonder if the house designed by Zhao Fangyuan can come with a chicken coop or a pig pen or something?
Master Zhang is also satisfied.
But soon, he thought of another thing: "Who are you going to invite to kill the pig?"
Song Tan: ...
It’s not like she’s in such a hurry. She’ll have to wait until autumn and winter, otherwise the pig won’t grow up and eating meat will be eating Ulan’s money. She can’t do that!
"Master Zhang, can you kill pigs?"
Master Zhang sighed sadly: "Oh, why can't you do it? I used to be with my brother - he is He specializes in killing pigs. "
"He was strong and held down the pig. As for me, I had a steady hand and was responsible for the knife. In fact, I knew that he was watching my child in the hospital. He spent all his money and deliberately took me to order some meat for his family.”
"It can't be done now. In the past two years, when he was high school, he didn't pay attention, and he left."
While talking, he rambled: "This man is old, so he has to control his food. A small bowl, no matter how delicious it is, you can’t eat too much.”
“My brother is a butcher. Every household has pig killer dishes, and he can even give him some water before he leaves. He had a much better life when he was young. Okay, everything is full of meat, and I am big and round."
"I am not losing weight even when I am old. No, when my blood pressure goes up..."
He wiped it again. He opened his eyes and said: "I can see clearly now. I will never eat more, not even one bite."
This quote is my Baidu report for 2021. But the real situation is that no one has done this for at least ten years...
So, let’s see.
I don’t care what price you pay when you go home.
