Farmer's wife comes to farm

Chapter 421 Pig Raising
But they don't sell pork, and there are no meat stalls in the town.

If a pig is killed, it may not be sold for fifty catties simply by relying on the people in the village.

If the pork is not sold for a day or two on this hot day, it will stink, and it will not be eaten at all.

Butcher Chen found two strong men to help lift it up, and took a large weighing pole to weigh the two pigs.

One head weighs 310 catties, and one pig weighs 610 catties, which together add up to [-] catties.

Although pork costs fourteen cents and fifteen cents a catty to buy in the town, the purchase price for a whole pig is not that high, only eight cents a catty.

Pigs are weighed with other things besides the meat, and the butcher has to bear some risks when buying and selling. These must be removed, and they can be converted into eight cents a catty.

610 eight-jin pigs were sold for a total of nearly five taels of silver.

Butcher Zhang settled the money on the spot, and then led the two pigs back.

"After I finish killing you, I'll scoop up a few bowls of pig's blood and get some meat." Butcher Zhang said.

"it is good!"

After sending Butcher Zhang away, the villagers gathered together and chatted a few words.

It's nothing more than envying the fifth house of the Qin family for earning so much money all at once.

It is not easy to raise a pig, and the Qin family has raised these two pigs for more than half a year, almost a year.

It's a little bit reluctant to sell it like this.

Because the Qin family sold it directly by weighing, the villagers who originally wanted to join in the fun and get some pig blood to eat had no choice but to give up their thoughts, and after a few words, they went back in twos and threes.

Su Qingyao saw that Shen's face was not very good-looking, and thought that Shen was comfortable, so she stepped forward and asked, "Sister Zhu, what's the matter with you?"

"Hey, the pig that has been raised for so long is sold all of a sudden, I feel a little bit reluctant to think about it!
It is sold now, and the pig will have to suffer a lot later! "

The two pigs raised by the Qin family had been fed by Shen's until they separated.

After feeding for a long time, there will naturally be some feelings, which is the same as raising kittens and puppies.

Now that it was sold, it was reasonable for Shen to be reluctant.

However, with so much efforts from the Shen family, now that the Qin family sold the pigs, the Shen family didn't get half of the benefits. Su Qingyao felt worthless for the Shen family.

Su Qingyao patted Shen's shoulder and comforted, "Sister Zhu, everyone is mortal, let alone a beast.

This is its fate, there is no other way!
It can only be said that in the next life, if you are reincarnated as a person, don't be a pig again! "

Shen twitched the corners of her mouth, "Yes, everyone has their own destiny, let alone a pig. Being a human is not easy!"

"By the way, sister Yao, I think it's good to raise pigs, let's build a pigsty later, and get two piglets back to feed, shall we?

A little piggy is only three to four hundred renminbi when it is caught, and it can grow two to three hundred catties when it is raised, and it can be sold for several taels of silver. After a year, it is also a good income!

Now that we catch the two ends, we can slaughter them during the New Year. Not only can we sell some money, but also the meat for the New Year, as well as pickled meat, don’t need to spend money to repurchase. "

Su Qingyao was moved by what Shen said.

Pig farming is really good.

Almost every household in the village raises pigs.

It's just that it's a little troublesome to feed normally, but the cost of pig food is not high after fetching some pigweed.

It is better to earn four or five taels a year by raising two heads than by farming.

"Sister Zhu, if you want to raise it, I'll discuss it with fourth brother, and it's not difficult to build a pigsty behind our house.

The two of us share it together, and one family is enough. "
