Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 236 Bamboo Products
There are three ways to kill a pig. The first is to suppress a pig with more people. The butcher stabs the pig directly from the bottom of the neck and then bleeds it.

The second trick is to have strong strength, take a thick wooden stick, and give the pig a hard blow directly on the head. The pig will fall straight down.

The third is the electric shock, which can straighten the legs in one stroke, not to mention pigs, cows are the same.

Of course, there are assembly lines for killing pigs abroad. Live pigs are pushed in, and a pig is decomposed in an average of one minute.

In the afternoon, Luo Cheng came with Chen Yan and the delivery driver. The driver worked overtime today and drove Luo Cheng's van. The traffic police also have to take a break at night, and usually there is no one to check for mixed traffic. But what you need to pay attention to is the drunk driving officer. If you encounter a drunk driving officer, they will usually check whether you have been drinking. If you encounter a serious offense, they will fine you for mixing things up.

Chen Yan came here to register the number of people working for Luo Cheng. She had no chance to participate in the pig killing feast. After she finished registering, she had to go back to do the statistics. In addition, the pig-killing banquet meant that the employees here and the people who invited the pig-killing people ate together, so they couldn't eat much. The rest is going to be distributed among all the employees.

Chen Yan didn't expect that she would receive such benefits just a few days after starting work. There are even points for pork. This industrial unit is different. Other units have performance and only receive some bonuses, without any human emotion. These days, when you give out a bonus of 100 yuan, you definitely don’t give out any pork to impress everyone.

The first pig was killed around four o'clock in the afternoon, and this was shared with everyone. Press and hold to bleed. There are people in the village who specialize in making pig blood, and there are people who set up large pots. Many people take the initiative to help, so you can share some of the pig-killing vegetables.

The master who kills the pigs is also hired here. There is no money. The two masters want the pigs to go into the water. He agreed to help Luo Cheng kill three pigs, but Luo Cheng asked the other two to be killed at eleven o'clock in the evening. They would just dry them to death without bleeding.

The master who killed the pigs said that there was no problem, but there were few people at night, so it was best to get some wine to get the two pigs drunk, and then beat them to death with a sap. Moreover, if the drunken pig is killed immediately and eaten, the meat is said to be more delicious.

I didn't even take off my clothes, so I just put on my shoes and went out.

In Luo Cheng's time, another day had passed, and Luo Cheng was doing preparations during the day. The cart was borrowed, and everyone still had a busy day on the mountain. I'm not digging a cellar anymore, but I'm cutting bamboo. It won't be summer again in a month or two. Luo Cheng still planned to cooperate with the commune and let them organize people to make some bamboo beds and bamboo chairs.

"I told you, don't ask. This is a whole head. I can't take care of you. He was still alive when he was caught, so I sent someone to notify the factory. He has only been dead for an hour or two now. You should send him to the factory as soon as possible. Handle it inside and let the people in the cafeteria do the bleeding, otherwise a lot of good things will be wasted."

"Chief Luo, this~~."

Luo Cheng did not respond to Master Zhu's continued questioning, but took them directly to the thatched shed next to the house. There was a pile of straw in the corner. Luo Cheng opened the straw and revealed what was covered up.

"Hurry up, why are you talking so much nonsense? This thing must be unusual, otherwise Chief Luo would not be able to explain that the person who came to deliver the message asked us to leave so early. Start the car and leave quickly."

In fact, this is also a better way to die for pigs. If you hold down and stab the pig to bleed, the pig will not die immediately. After getting drunk, there is no pain or fear anymore. As long as you are ruthless, it is much more direct than the first method. Of course, the main reason is that there is no suitable electric shock equipment. If that happens, you will lose consciousness in an instant.

"No, I was just too surprised. Two wild boars, how did you catch them?"

"Hey, Xiao Xiao, hurry up and do it, you damn wait until Chief Luo comes to do it himself."

~~
"Master, it's too early this time. I can't see my fingers."

"Come with me quickly. Don't ask any questions when you see anything. Just take it back to the factory."

It's just a waste of wine. Wine is cheap in this era, so Luo Cheng has no problem with it. For hitting the sap requires a lot of strength, Luo Cheng also wanted to try it, he was very strong. What's more, just in case, there are usually two people cooperating. If the person is not killed or is unable to move, the second person will immediately go up and make up for it.

There will still be a big market for this kind of things in the future, especially for some older people who like to be nostalgic and like this kind of thing. Times are hard these days. If you just bring some food from the future era, even if it flows into the black market, some people can buy it, but like in rural areas, apart from digging food from the fields, there is no extra income at all.

The pig was brought to the warehouse, and Luo Cheng asked the driver to go back. He has to wait here until twelve o'clock.

"Chief Luo, what are you doing in such a mysterious way?"

"Chief Luo, Chief Luo is here."

Let some people in the commune earn a little money so that they can buy food on the black market. Many kind-hearted people would not fight for wild vegetables in the fields with people fleeing the famine.

"Here we come, wait a moment."

At eleven o'clock at night, Luo Cheng and the driver drove back on the night road. There were a little more than two and a half pigs in the car. It's impossible to use up a pig directly for a pig-killing feast. It's enough for everyone to eat fresh pig blood, a little pig offal, and a small half head of pork.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the morning that Luo Cheng waited for the car from the factory to arrive. However, Luo Cheng was waiting at home this time, and he had fallen asleep long ago, so he was woken up by the shout.

Luo Cheng didn't reply to Master Zhu's words before, and it was even less likely to reply to a car apprentice this time. Luo Cheng gave each of them a cigarette and went back to the room to continue sleeping. There were only two pigs, each one weighing about 260 pounds. Drivers these days are very strong, no matter how strong they are. Both the master and the apprentice could hold up a pig on their own.

The two of them could lift a pig and throw it onto the trunk of the car.

"Chief Luo, why don't you go back to the city today? You can take our car."

"No, I'll take the afternoon bus back. I still have some things to deal with here. By the way, Master Zhu, please remember an address and go directly there tomorrow morning. It's best to arrive around five o'clock to pick up a batch of chili peppers. When you return to the factory, tell Director Sun about this and ask Director Sun to pay three hundred yuan from the finance department and hand it over to me tomorrow morning."

"Chili, this is good stuff. The recent dishes in the cafeteria are too tasteless. Don't worry, Chief Luo, I will definitely be there on time tomorrow."

You have to do everything in your acting. Just like what Director Sun said last time, the funds for the activity are not enough. If you use them up, you can have them given away. I gave Luo Cheng 500 yuan last time. It was no problem to buy these two pigs. If I bought other vegetables, it would be like asking Luo Cheng to advance money again.

Two pigs add up to 500 kilograms. If you go by the current black market price, 500 yuan cannot buy more than 500 kilograms of meat, but more than 500 kilograms of pork refers to the slaughtered pork. Luo Cheng's two wild boars are considered hairy pigs. After being processed, a two hundred and sixty kilogram pig, excluding water and other things, will first lose dozens of kilograms, and the skeleton and pig head will weigh several dozen kilograms again. Really pure meat, about half at most. Of course, if you shave all the meat off the bones, there will be a lot more meat.

So if you spend 500 yuan to buy raw pigs, you can buy two pigs. However, on the black market, it can be sold at a higher price. The price of pork with meat stamps has not changed, around 65 cents. But the prices on the black market have been rising. Last year, Luo Cheng took some good meat and sold it on the black market of Hei Niu. He could get it all for one pound and a pound.

At that time, if it sold for RMB 1.5, I could probably sell them all. At this time, it is definitely no problem to sell a pound of meat for two yuan, and it is still the kind of situation where you may not be able to buy it if you want it.

After Luo Cheng explained to Master Zhu, he really went back to his room to sleep this time. After returning to the room, not long after, Luo Cheng heard the sound of a car starting outside the house, and then the sound of vehicles driving. Everything became quiet, and Luo Cheng also fell asleep.

Tianming, Changcheng West District, Nanxiang Road.

"Master He, Master He~."

"Sister Liu, why are you here so early? Did something happen in the cafeteria?"

"Director Sun asked you to go to the factory quickly. This is serious. Chief Luo of the Purchasing Department has brought two wild boars over. They are still intact and not disemboweled. They said the wild boars died at night. Hurry now. If you go and deal with it, you can get a lot of pig blood."

"What, wild boar, two more. Come on, go to the factory quickly. He died at night, and a lot of blood may have been frozen in the body. But a lot of blood should still be released. When you get to the factory, hurry up and arrange for someone to boil water. .”

"Master He, I understand. Chief Luo of the Purchasing Department is really capable."

"That's right, so Director Sun will be in the factory early?"

"Yes, when I went to work, Director Sun was already watching over us. Someone should have informed him that there are two big wild boars, so he can't come. How long has it been since there were no meat dishes in the factory, although before I got a batch of eggs in a few days, but they can't compare with meat."

It was still around five o'clock in the morning when Master He was called away from the canteen of the machinery factory. As for Director Sun, he was actually called out earlier. Master Zhu had returned to the city before dawn, and Luo Cheng had promised that the two pigs should be bled immediately. If it takes a long time to die, forget it. At most, the meat will be fishy and all the pig blood will be wasted.

But Luo Cheng said that pig blood was a good thing these days and should not be wasted. The only choice was to inform Director Sun, and Director Sun was in charge of logistics. When he heard that two wild boars had been brought back, how could he still think about sleeping. Regarding this matter, when Director Zhou comes to work, we will discuss how to deal with it together.

Use whatever amount you can spare to cook meat dishes for the employees in the cafeteria, and keep some for entertaining. How to deal with the pig bones? Even if it is because of two pigs, it is not an exaggeration to hold a leadership meeting.

This is also a machinery factory, and there are not many production task indicators. For example, steel plants shout slogans every day to increase production, but there is no oil and water in the canteen, and the work is strenuous, so just shouting slogans is useless. If you can prepare meat dishes for once, it will really stimulate your enthusiasm and make you scream while working.

The kitchen in the canteen of the machinery factory is quite busy this morning. Anyone in the factory who has free time will come here to take a look. I don’t know how this news spread. Anyway, it’s not even eight o’clock yet, and everyone in the factory is talking about the two wild boars that were brought into the factory today.

Everyone is very active in their work, but many people are anxious because they don’t know whether the news is true or false, and whether they will be able to eat meat at noon today.

Luo Cheng didn't know that because of the two wild boars, everyone in the factory was paying attention. He didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning. There was actually a pig's hind leg left on his side, which was left from the pig that held the pig-killing feast. Naturally, this has to be taken back to be stewed. Zhao Qian is about to give birth. Luo Cheng is somewhat affected by the future era, so he will try to supplement her as much as possible.

After waking up, Luo Cheng didn't get up immediately. He didn't plan to go to Chen Laizi's place for dinner. He was too lazy to walk for half an hour just to have a meal of whole grains. For some people who cannot afford to eat, it doesn’t matter if they have food and can walk for an hour or two.

At noon, Luo Cheng went to the home of his father-in-law, accountant Zhao. I told him about bamboo weaving, and this time he came to talk to him in the name of the lumber factory.

It is said that the lumber factory collects bamboo, and also collects bamboo woven chairs and bamboo beds. If the commune has residents who can do this, they can earn some money to support their families. This is a good thing for the commune, and even if the lumber factory in the urban area really needs it, a bamboo weaving factory can be established in the town.

The establishment of a bamboo weaving factory actually scared Luo Cheng. He originally wanted to use deceit to do this, but if he established a bamboo weaving factory, he would be exposed. In fact, these days, as long as there is stable demand, local units can apply to build factories.

These days, we pay attention to planned production. As long as there are units connecting with each other, the commune is very willing to see it. Because there is stable production, formal employees can be arranged.

But Luo Cheng currently only plans to let the lumber factory purchase the commune's things on his behalf after returning to the city. And it's still the same old trick. If you collect one chair, Luo Cheng may actually take nine of them from the commune to the future era.

Luo Cheng also felt that being in the same town all the time was too restrictive. He had already thought about it and waited until his baby was born. In the name of purchasing, I started going out. Go to other cities, actually provinces. In an era of limited information, in fact, the lack of information is not a disadvantage for Luo Cheng, but an advantage.

If you are cooperating with other units across provinces, and Luo Cheng himself does have a work unit establishment, as long as you verify Luo Cheng's identity, you will not consider that he will make trouble on behalf of himself.

The most important thing is that Luo Cheng is a fool, and his messy things directly reach the future era. He couldn't find it even if he wanted to, because he couldn't find where he stacked his goods. Under such circumstances, no one really doubted him.

Accountant Zhao felt a little regretful when he heard that the demand was not stable and that he could not set up a bamboo weaving factory or something like that. But this is a good thing after all. The other thing is that Luo Cheng wants a lot of bamboo. To be more precise, he wants bamboo strips, which he can pay for.

There are a lot of bamboos on this mountain, because Changcheng is originally rich in bamboo. In spring and winter, there are a lot of spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots. Unexpectedly, bamboo can be sold for money, and there are people who specialize in making bamboo strips, and Luo Cheng can buy it at a higher price. This alone is enough for Accountant Zhao to go to the secretary and treat it as a serious matter.

In order to ensure food production, people from all over the country who have gone to cities to find jobs in the past few years, and those who have not worked for more than five years, have been sent back to the countryside in the name of streamlining the urban population and solving the problem of unemployed youth in the cities.

In addition, primary schools have been opened in township brigades. There is no quota for teachers in these brigades to teach children to read. Instead, they receive food based on work points. But in addition to work points, there is a wage subsidy. The wages are paid for by the commune.

Finances are tight, and it is normal for teachers in the brigade to often take several months to receive their salary. Because they have to wait until the grain is sold and the township has money before they can afford to pay the teacher's salary.

You can make money by selling bamboo strips. If you have money, you can meet some of the expenses in the town. Naturally, there is no reason to let it go.
