hunting in 1986

Chapter 69 68 Buy a pig, the train skin is gone
Live pigs are live pigs, and the price is definitely different from pork, because live pigs not only contain pork, but also pig blood, pig viscera, pig bones and so on.

Moreover, if others butcher pigs, they also need to make a profit from selling the meat.

Generally, the meat yield of live pigs can be 60% to 80%, and wild boars are much worse.

Uncle Gun looks just like a "stick". He looked at his charming little daughter-in-law, and it was obvious that the latter was the head of the family.

There were two outsiders, Wang Yuan and his son, and Aunt Gun'er also saved face for Uncle Gun'er, and said with a smile:
"The head of the family, why don't we sell pigs?"

"Sell, sell!"

Several people immediately left the house and came to the pigsty. The pigsty these days is really dirty, with pig feces all over the place, even in the winter, there is still a bad smell wafting out.

"Hum~"

A few pigs huddled around in the pigsty, and occasionally went to the pig trough to eat some food scraps.

Wang Yuan wanted two pigs, and Uncle Gun readily agreed, and the remaining pigs were enough for the New Year.

The next day.

After dinner early in the morning, his cousin Wang Hu came to play with Wang Yuan. He knew from the little girl that Wang Yuan had gone to Uncle Gun’er’s house. Some old men.

Getting into the crowd, Wang Hu yelled: "Brother, brother, get out of the way, my brother is inside."

Wang Shuai sneered and said: "The pig is inside, your brother is a pig?"

"Hahaha~"

The old men laughed instantly.

"Hey~ Wang Shuaier, are you itchy again? Is it not enough to beat you up last time?" Wang Yuan was standing in the crowd weighing pigs, and pulled a young man away.

Wang Shuai was choked and speechless, turned his head and left angrily.

The people around laughed again in an instant, looking at Wang Shuai's leaving back with contempt, they thought this guy was too cowardly.

These guys around are just watching the fun.

There are too few entertainment activities in the Northeast countryside in this era. Even if Uncle Gun’er’s selling pigs is a new thing, and it has something to do with the interests of each family-if the price is high enough, they will also want to sell pigs. Sell.

The two pigs weighed 460 catties in total, and the money was weighed. When Wang Yuan gave 368 yuan to Uncle Gun, the people around him breathed heavily.

368 dollars!
Who is not envious?
Uncle Gun also knew that the money was coveted, so he hurriedly put the money into his pocket, and then wrinkled his face with a smile, and disappeared when he couldn't see it.

"Xiao Yuan really got rich! Just give me more than 300 yuan?"

Hearing the shouts from the crowd, Wang Yuan burst into tears and said: "Which is the money I gave? This money belongs to that buddy in my city. I'm just an errand runner at best, earning a few dollars at a time. .”

"Why lie to us? We don't want to steal your money, cut~" Someone made a suspicious sound.

"Believe it or not, but my buddy is a real bully, running errands with him is better than farming." Wang Yuan raised his chin slightly, and the word "啦Se" was written on his face.

He can't just be modest, explain, and keep a low profile. The villagers are not fools. The more modest he is, the more people will doubt him.

He took out half a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, and gave everyone a smoke one by one: "Come and try this cigarette, it's a good cigarette, the important people in the city smoke it.

Maybe my buddy will still need someone in the future, so I'll call the big guy to go, don't worry, the treatment will definitely be good! "

Human hearts are complicated. Although rural people are simple, they often have a lot of bad thoughts. They all live in the same village, and everyone can understand the situation of each household.

It turns out that although they are poor, everyone is poor.

Now Wang Yuan's family has become rich at a speed visible to the naked eye, and this has been hated by many people, or it has aroused many people's dissatisfaction.

But Wang Yuan drew a piece of cake and was willing to take everyone to make money together. In an instant, most of the hostility disappeared. Although it felt a bit inferior to running errands, but Wang Yuan, a "high-achieving student", was doing this, so why would he lose face? No more?
Immediately some people shouted loudly:
"Xiaoyuan, just call me if you have work, I'm here anytime!"

"And me, just don't need to pay for food!"

"Haha, if Xiaoyuan insists on giving you money, don't you want it?"

There were also people who were more shy and said in a low voice:
"Xiaoyuan, you can call me if you need help."

……

The price of 8 cents per catty was very attractive, and immediately two more families sold pigs.

After buying a total of 4 pigs, Wang Yuan found another man in the village, Liu Weiguo, and asked him to put on a bullock cart to help transport the pigs to the city.

Liu Weiguo was in his 40s, slightly hunchbacked, wearing a patched black padded jacket and thick padded shoes, exuding a shabby and honest air.

Liu Weiguo was the one who just said in a low voice, "If you need help, you can call me." When he heard that he was going to the city, his head was buzzing instantly.

There was helplessness and confusion in his cloudy eyes.

"Xiao...Xiaoyuan, do you need a letter of introduction first when you go to the city? What do you write in the letter, just sell pigs?"

"You don't need a letter of introduction. Let's go, Uncle Wei. I'll ride next to you."

"Okay then, let's go right away."

Liu Weiguo didn't want to be underestimated by Wang Yuan, a young man, so he took a breath of courage and started driving the ox cart.

Wang Yuan actually understood Liu Weiguo's hesitation.

The latter has lived half his life and has never been to the city, plus many people coax the officials in the city to be vicious... so it is very normal to be afraid.

A few years after the production team was disbanded, and a few years after getting an ID card, the management was really strict before.

Wang Yuan was riding a bicycle on the left, and Liu Weiguo was driving an ox cart on the right, with a few tied pigs grunting.

Talking and laughing along the way, the worries in Liu Weiguo's heart dissipated a lot, and he laughed at himself: "I'm old and old, and I've been an idiot again."

……

After entering the city, looking at the tidy streets, the low buildings on both sides, and the bicycles and cars running around on the street, Uncle Wei felt very novel.

"How can the little iron car run? It's really capable."

There is a yard behind the restaurant, which was rented by Li Shen to store sundries, and now it happens to put 4 pigs in it.

Li Shen was very satisfied with the four pigs, and nodded frequently. He would definitely make a lot of money by making pork into vegetables and selling them.

"By the way, Xiaoyuan, Zheng Lian is eating in the restaurant, and his frowning face seems to be something difficult."

"Okay, then I'll go see him."

Wang Yuan frowned in an instant. The cash in his hand is really about to bottom out, but as long as he can sell the pine nuts, he can immediately become a millionaire household!
"By the way, this is my Uncle Wei Guo, not an outsider. Give my uncle some hard food."

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."

Li Shen smiled and nodded to Liu Weiguo. The latter felt very respectable in an instant, and Wang Yuan did not ignore him, and what he said made him feel very comfortable.

He walked out of the small courtyard quickly, walked around the alley on the west side, and came to the main entrance of the restaurant. It was not yet time for dinner, and there were not many customers in the restaurant.

Zheng Lian was sitting in the corner, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about, and he didn't notice that the cigarette he was holding was burning his fingers.

"Uncle Zheng, Uncle Zheng... Uncle Zheng!!"

"Hey...what the hell!"

Zheng Lian, who came back to his senses, quickly threw the cigarette butt away, and blew on his fingers, but luckily nothing serious happened.

"Xiao Yuan, when did you come?"

"It's been a long time, and you haven't responded when I've been calling you." Wang Yuan sat down across from Zheng Lian. The latter seemed to have not slept well, and his face was haggard.

"Tell me, what happened? It can't be about the pine nuts, right?"

"You really guessed right." Zheng Lian's tone was three points of despair, three points of helplessness, and four points of anger: "I don't want the pine nuts anymore, Xiao Yuan, you can find another buyer, hey~~~"

"Why, you made it clear."

"The train skin is gone, I don't know which dog snatched it, it's really a mess..."

Zheng Lian was so angry that his liver hurt, and he yelled for several minutes before he stopped, causing the diners in the shop to look sideways, wondering why this old man was so violent.

After Zheng Lian's anger subsided, Wang Yuan finally understood the reason of the matter. The train transport capacity is very tight these days, and the long-distance communication between different places mainly depends on the train.

One ticket for one freight car, the ticket in hand means that this car is used by a certain person in a specific transportation, which is very precious.

Zheng Lian's ticket was obtained through an informal channel. Now the ticket is directly invalidated by others, but the money spent will not be refunded.

But Zheng Lian also found out that someone had taken a fancy to his carriage, but he didn't say in detail who the other party was who gave him the news.

"Well, maybe... I can get a piece of train leather." Wang Yuan pondered slightly, and then said slowly.

"Um!?"

Zheng Lian sat up straight for a moment, and for a moment he suspected that he had heard wrong, just because of Wang Yuan, a rural kid! ?
