Chapter 504 Selling Pigs
Liu Chen arrived home quickly, and the children gathered around him.
"Uncle Chen, you are back."
Liu Chen brought vegetables this time, but he didn't bring anything to eat.
"Let's go home."
Liu Chen rode his motorcycle back home.
The children followed all the way. When Liu Chen arrived, the children followed him.
When I came to the yard, I saw that the children had caught a lot of birds in the yard, including all kinds of birds.
"Uncle Chen, give me some candy. Let's see how many I got for you."
Liu Chen was really speechless. He had enough dealing with squirrels during this period, and he really didn't want to deal with them anymore.
"You naughty kids, didn't I tell you that I don't want squirrels?"
"Chen, look carefully, this is not a squirrel, this is a bird, you are an old turtle dove, this is a magpie, this is..."
The boy Gou Sheng pointed at the birds on the ground and introduced them one by one. After introducing them, he didn't even know what birds they were.
Liu Chen also admired these children. They worked so hard for a few candies. He didn't know why these children were so good and how could they catch so many birds?
Liu Chen looked at the ground. There were dozens of birds there. He had enough. He really didn't want to deal with so many.
"You guys, I really don't want to do it anymore. This bird tastes delicious, but plucking its feathers is really troublesome."
"Uncle Chen, it turns out you don't want to pluck your hair. It's not easy. Let's help you, but you need to add a piece of candy."
Liu Chen stared at Gou Sheng, this guy is quite good at doing business, and he also knows how to bargain.
"Okay, no problem. Please clean it up for me and add two more candies."
When the children heard that two more candies were added, they were all excited and became more energetic to work.
Liu Chen found a larger basin, and he didn't even have to boil water himself. Gou Sheng was very busy with his naughty child.
Liu Chen looked at these children and said, "It's quite good. This candy is so good. I can eat meat again tonight."
"Ah Chen, this kid is so awesome. I don't know how he can be so capable and get so many candies."
"I can't help it. I have relatives in the city. This guy is really lucky."
"These candies are not cheap. These children are in for a treat."
The aunt and aunt who were sewing the cloth tiger pillows heard the conversation between Liu Chen and the children, and they were talking while sewing the pillows.
They know that Liu Chen usually gives three pieces of candy to his children. If you add two pieces to this, it will be five pieces of candy. These are White Rabbit toffees. These five pieces are a lot of money. Liu Chen also
It's so generous. There are so many candies, which can be exchanged for rice and noodles.
"Gousheng, just eat two pieces of your candy later, and save the remaining three pieces for the New Year."
"Goudan, it's yours too, but you can't eat it all at once."
"Mazi, did you hear that? You can only eat one piece, and give the rest to me. I will keep it for you to eat during the New Year."
The aunt and aunt who were sewing pillows shouted to their children one by one.
"Okay, got it."
Anyway, I will have five pieces of candy later. This gives my family two or three quick snacks. I still have two or three pieces, which is enough.
These are White Rabbit milk candies or corn gummy candies, which are much more delicious than the fruit candies sold by supply and marketing cooperatives.
The children worked together and took care of the birds in a short time.
Gou Sheng brought it to Liu Chen and asked Liu Chen to check whether it passed the test.
Liu Chen looked at the prepared birds in the basin. Yes, it seemed that these children were paying attention.
Liu Chen thought to himself, it seems that these candies are still good. I will bring more next time. These candies are really good in this era. They are as useful as money.
In front of the children, the money is very useful. If the children have money, it will be taken away by their adults. They can eat the candy themselves. If there are more candies, the parents will take them away, leaving two pieces to eat during the New Year.
But they can also eat a piece or two.
"Okay, let's share this candy, five yuan per person."
Wang Mudan felt a little distressed when she heard that Liu Chen gave five pieces of candy to each of the children. These were White Rabbit toffees and corn gummy candies. They were not cheap. Liu Chen gave them to the children every three days.
It’s fake that we don’t feel bad, but it’s not easy to stop it, right?
Liu Chen didn't care. This candy was exchanged for this large basin of bird meat, and it was also treated cleanly. How great is this? It's a good deal, isn't it?
"Dong, dong..." The bronze bell in the team rang.
Liu Chen was confused at first, what's going on? Why is it ringing at this time? Is something wrong?
Liu Chen was about to ask Wang Mudan what was going on when he saw everyone put down their needles and threads and ran out quickly.
"Uncle Chen, hurry up. There must be something urgent in the team. Hurry up and gather in the team." Gou Sheng knew that the bell rang a few times, which was regular.
Everyone ran towards the grain drying field. This must have been an emergency, otherwise everyone wouldn't have run in such a hurry.
Liu Chen also wanted to ask everyone what was going on. Seeing everyone running happily, he decided not to ask. We'll talk about it when we get there.
Soon, everyone gathered at the grain drying field.
Captain Liu and the cadres from several teams are here, and the members of the commune have also arrived one by one.
Captain Liu saw everyone coming and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. The commune has issued documents. All pigs weighing more than 100 kilograms will be sent to the food station. Everyone must send them now."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, this commune has issued a document, it won’t work if you don’t deliver it.
Liu Chen looked at everyone, dumbfounded, what are you doing? He was planning to eat bird meat at night, why should he send it to him now? Are he going to let others eat dinner?
"Hongwu, you greet everyone, ask all the young people in the team to be called, and let the women raising pigs go home."
Huzi told Liu Chen that it was time to go to the fair to sow pigs, and the time had come.
Liu Chen thought about his own pigs. Anyway, Liu Chen raised wild boars, but he couldn't handle them. He was still waiting to kill them during the New Year, which was only two months away.
Everyone quickly dispersed and went home to catch pigs.
Some people are quite happy, but others are complaining: "My big spotted pig has just gained weight in autumn, and it will be taken away soon."
As usual, the people in the team here brought large carriages, carts, etc.
Liu Chen thought to himself how good this tractor was, so he went to Captain Liu and asked him to use a tractor to transport it, which would save time and make it easier.
"You kid, you have a smart mind. Okay, go and drive the tractor."
Liu Chen thought to himself, this is not his smart thinking. The main reason is that he doesn't want to push the cart.
"Oh, Youdi, hurry up and chase her, the pigs have all run away."
"Ah Chen, come down quickly and chase the pig. My pig has escaped."
Several people chased the pig desperately, and several people came on board. It took a lot of effort to catch the escaped pig.
It took several people to tie up the pig with great difficulty, and everyone was so tired that they were out of breath.
"Be careful. All pigs that meet the standard must be tied up. Once they are tied firmly, they cannot be allowed to escape." Liu Jiefang held the book and looked at it as he spoke.
There is no way, in this era, Liu Chen knows that this pork is a good thing. Although the counterattack has been won, pork is still in short supply, and those that meet the standards must be arranged.
Wang Mudan told Liu Chen that in these days, there are targets for raising pigs. The Liutang production team must raise at least fifty fat pigs a year. If everyone can raise pigs, then they are allowed to kill them at will.
If you are caught eating something or selling it selfishly, you are speculating and it will cause big trouble.
In this day and age, if you raise pigs, you must sell them to the state, and everyone must abide by this.
Liu Chen thought to himself, no matter what, he had to keep the wild boar anyway. If he killed it during the Chinese New Year and handed it over, he would definitely not hand it over.
It doesn't matter to Captain Liu anyway, after all, the team has almost enough support.
These days, the annual pig sale is a big deal.
There were about ten people in the team following him, and Liu Chen was driving a tractor, so naturally he had to go.
In fact, Liu Chen really didn't want to go. He had no choice but to ask him to drive a tractor.
"Dad, how much does a pound of pig cost now?"
Liu Jiefang looked at Liu Chen, shook his head and said, "It depends on how the level is graded."
Liu Jiefang told Liu Chen that his pigs were doing well this year and were quite fat, so they would probably be sold at a good price.
Liu Chen drove the tractor, and many people worked together to catch the pigs and load them onto the tractor. One vehicle would definitely not be able to do it, so a large carriage had to follow, as well as a pallet truck, all of them followed.
Some of the children were also clamoring to go, and the parents glared a few times. At this time, if the children were acting up, they would be beaten. In this era, it is common for children to be beaten.
Anyway, everyone has nothing to do, just beat the children and play.
Liu Chen drove the tractor in front, and the other cars followed.
As he scurried toward the team, the pigs on the car howled.
The golden monkey saw it and was startled. He carried Gungun on his back and ran to the tree to watch the fun. It was also startled.
I was afraid that these people would tie me up again and drag me to the commune to play.
Liu Chen was still very upset. Wouldn't it be better to send it to him tomorrow morning? At this time, he hasn't eaten dinner yet. It seems that he won't be able to eat dinner tonight.
In fact, everyone is used to skipping dinner. This is a normal thing. In the past, everyone had one meal and skipped the next one. If you skipped one or two meals, then this is a normal thing.
The journey was mighty and turbulent, kicking up clouds of dust.
Driving a tractor is fast after all, and we arrived at the food station not long after.
Liu Chen took a closer look, my God, this is a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder.
At the entrance of the food station, there was a queue like a dragon, with hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, mule carts, donkey carts and flat carts. It was so vast and even spectacular.
This was the first time for Liu Chen to see such a spectacular pig selling scene. The queue was probably two miles long, so it was effortless.
