Chapter 56 Sophistication of the World
When everyone caught up with the spotted pig and carried the killed wild wolf back to the village, it naturally caused quite a stir.
Especially Wang Xiugang's mother-in-law, she was so happy that she couldn't even wipe her nose with saliva.
This situation is understandable. There are really few ways for farmers to make money now. Although raising pigs is not profitable, it is still the largest source of income for a family.
After months of hard work raising the pig, Wang Xiugang's family hopes that the pig will have a good year.
If the big spotted pig can't be found tonight, the couple will definitely have a troubled life this year.
But it was getting late now, the weather was cold and no one wanted to talk.
After talking for a few words, they went home.
When she got home, Wang Manyin was naturally questioned by Lanhua again. When she heard that the big spotted pig had been found again, she kept shouting thank God.
After dinner in the morning, many people in the village went to the breeding room compound to see the wild wolves, even the orchids were no exception.
To them, this is definitely something rare and worth talking about.
Lianzizui Wang Qingming immediately came up with a new word:
On the east mountain, wolves become spirits and eat animals first and then humans.
Eat this village, eat that village, eat all the way to the Jar Village.
There was a man named Wang Xiugang in the village who loved to sleep on the bed at night, unaware that a wolf had entered the pigpen.
The spotted pig that was being driven called "Hang Hang", and the anxious mother-in-law called her "Mother"...
Wang Yanqiang issued an order, and men, women, old and young all sent out troops.
With a gun in hand and a light on, I chased him all the way to the east of the old grave...
A wolf was shot four times and its fur was stripped off and stuck to the wall.
Wang Manyin originally thought that the wild wolf incident had nothing to do with him. He was cleaning the snow on the side of the cave dwelling when Wang Yanqiang and Wang Fugui came to his door.
"Uncle Yanqiang, brother Fu Nian, you are here!" Wang Manyin quickly came down to let Yan.
"Man Yin, are you okay this morning? Come with us to the supply and marketing cooperative and sell the wolf skins. Before the New Year, I will share the money with everyone." After Wang Yanqiang lit his cigarette, he directly explained the purpose of his visit.
Being able to hunt down the wild wolf last night is a credit to everyone. If the wolf skin is sold, everyone who sees it will have a share.
"Just two of you can go, how many people does it take to sell a wolf skin?" Wang Manyin asked in confusion.
"Aren't you familiar with the people from the supply and marketing cooperative? If you go, you can sell for a few more dollars. If you don't go in vain, this will be considered as work in the team, and you will be given half a day's work points."
"Okay," Wang Manyin didn't refuse after hearing what the other party said.
I am now a capable person in the village!
Anyway, there's nothing much to do in the morning, so it's good to earn half a day's work points.
These days, the production team's work points are very casual. Members are always at the command of the team leader. As long as the work is assigned by the production team, work points will be recorded.
So there are work points for sitting, work points for singing, and work points for memorizing things well.
Wang Manyin gave Lanhua an explanation and went to the supply and marketing cooperative with the two of them.
Because of Liu Qingli, Wang Manyin and the people in the local specialty purchasing sales department basically knew each other.
Entering the house, people kept smiling and saying hello.
As expected, this wolf skin also caused quite a stir in the supply and marketing cooperative.
After the fur master saw the wolf skin, he directly gave the price of fifty yuan.
Liu Qingli happened to get the news and rushed over. After saying hello to Wang Manyin, he smiled at the fur master and said: "Master Li, wolf skins are rare nowadays, especially those from Jingshuang. It's not easy for people to kill wolves. Let's add some more."
"
"Okay, let's add five dollars." The other party hesitated for a moment and nodded.
In the eyes of Wang Yanqiang and Wang Fugui, this is naturally an unexpected surprise and a sign of Wang Manyin's ability.
The sales agency had just replenished the goods a few days ago. There was no shortage of anything for the time being, and Wang Manyin had no plans to purchase any goods. After greeting Liu Qingli, he and Wang Yanqiang walked out of the souvenir purchasing department.
As a result, Wang Fugui had sharp eyes. He took just two steps and pointed at the two people at the door of the food station in the distance and said, "Look, are those Xiugang and Auntie..."
Wang Manyin turned around and saw Wang Xiugang and his wife squatting in the corner, muttering about something.
"But they should be selling pigs. They came here in the morning. Let's go over and see if they have been sold. This year's pig purchasing task in the village has not been completed yet." Wang Yanqiang also said.
It is said that Wang Xiugang's pig was almost driven away by a wolf last night, and they completely gave up the idea of raising it for a few more days.
I didn't even have breakfast today, so I drove the pigs to the food station to sell them at dawn.
"Xiugang, have you sold the pigs?" Wang Fugui greeted from a distance.
"Uncle Yanqiang, Brother Funian, Man Yin, why are you here?" Wang Xiugang saw an acquaintance and hurriedly got up with his mother-in-law.
"The three of us are here to sell wolf skins. What about you, have you sold your pigs?"
"No," Wang Xiugang cried sadly when he mentioned this.
"It hasn't been sold yet? What's going on? Aren't you two here a long time ago?" Wang Fugui asked puzzledly.
"The people at the food station said that my spotted pigs were overfed and they wanted to weigh them 20 kilograms. I disagreed. They asked them to put them in a temporary pig pen and wait until the afternoon to weigh them..." Wang Xiugang said,
Sighed repeatedly.
These days, selling pigs is different from selling cattle, donkeys and other livestock. They need to be weighed.
Therefore, many people will feed their pigs desperately before selling them in order to sell more pounds.
And before the pigs are weighed, if they poop or pee one more time, the difference may be two or three yuan... and the farmers will lose several days of work points.
Wang Manyin saw someone praying all the way while driving pigs: "My lord, don't hold your shit in and wait until it's weighed before you poop."
People who are more particular are afraid that the pig will lose weight by pooping and urinating while walking, so they even find someone to carry it to the food station.
He is really more careful than serving his biological father.
However, each mountain is higher than the other.
The members tried their best to make plans, but they couldn't stand up to the purchaser's mouth.
What Wang Xiugang refers to as "estimation" is when the buyer weighs the gross weight of the pig, he estimates how much food has been fed based on the size, roundness and flatness of the pig's belly. After making corresponding deductions, the remaining weight is the true gross weight.
This estimation process depends entirely on the buyer's eyes. In this way, there is a lot of room for manipulation.
It can be estimated at twenty kilograms for more. If you meet an acquaintance or relative, I will only give you 5 kilograms...
Moreover, the food station now collects pigs into four grades: special, A, B, and C.
That is, special-grade pigs must weigh more than 160 kilograms, grade A must weigh more than 150 kilograms, grade B must weigh more than 131 kilograms, and grade C must weigh more than 110 kilograms. If they do not reach the grade, they will not be purchased.
The prices for different grades are also different. The purchase price for Grade C pigs weighing 110 kilograms is 38 cents per kilogram, and the purchase price for special grade pigs is 56 cents per kilogram.
As far as pig farmers are concerned, if they sell a few kilograms less, they can move up a level and earn more than ten yuan more.
However, this all has to be graded by the buyer.
"These unscrupulous people will bully honest people. I saw a few people driving pigs and feeding them until their bellies were full. They didn't say anything at all and just weighed them." Wang Xiugang's mother-in-law said angrily.
"You don't plan to wait until the afternoon, do you? Wait a few hours, and the pig will lose at least ten kilograms even if it is still urinating. If it is rated one less grade, ten yuan will be gone." Wang Fugui frowned and said.
.
"What should we do? We don't know the people at the food station." Wang Xiugang was still crying.
"Manyin, you have connections in the supply and marketing cooperative, can you help?" Wang Fugui thought for a while and said again.
"I know the person, but I want to do something, so I have to buy him two packs of cigarettes." Wang Manyin replied.
They are all from the same village, so of course he is willing to help if he can.
However, there are some things that you need to make clear in advance. You cannot allow yourself to pay for a favor.
"I'll buy it, I'll buy it. But I don't have any cigarette tickets, what should I do?"
Wang Xiugang and his wife are just too honest and not used to giving gifts. This is also a common problem of many people. They always feel that giving gifts is a bit embarrassing.
But many times, favor exchanges are unavoidable. If you don't want to give gifts, you will be the one who suffers.
How much do two boxes of cigarettes cost? Even high-end Pegasus cigarettes only cost 30 cents a box.
The pigs at home can be fed evenly, and they can save seven or eight yuan in half a day.
