Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 557: Taking in the pigs raised by San Huzi

It was cold in the morning. Er Mazi was woken up by Xu Qing and said with a confused look on his face:

"Qingzi, what time is it?"

"seven thirty."

Er Mazi shook his head and woke up faintly. He saw Xu Qing putting on shoes, wiped his face with his hands, and then quickly used his feet to hook up the black cloth shoes that were covered with mud.

Last night, both of them slept in their clothes. As soon as they put on their shoes, they walked out of the office.

At this moment, the factory yard was deserted and damp, and the sky was slightly bright, revealing the white color of fish belly.

Xu Qing huddled up and walked towards his truck. He stretched out his hand and touched it. A biting chill hit his fingers. However, he had to quickly put half a load of corn on the truck into the grain station warehouse early in the morning, and also had to give it to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Several branch factories sent grain there.

Xu Qing turned to Er Mazi and said:

"Brother Mazi, start the car quickly. I'll ask Lao Suntou to open the factory door."

Er Mazi said "Hello", raised his hand to open the door of the cab, and climbed in.

The twenty piglets are all fat and fat now. If you look at them from one end, they weigh at least 1,780 pounds.

Xu Qing nodded, saw Lao Wu coming out of the warehouse, and called out:

At almost ten o'clock, Xu Qing, San Huzi, and four workers in the breeding workshop of the meat factory tied up a large black pig with a thick rope in the presence of San Huzi's mother, daughter-in-law, and other villagers living nearby. Okay, let two strong men lift it up with hoe handles, put a large scale in the middle, and take advantage of the situation to weigh it.

The onlookers' eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

Hui Dehai, who came here specifically to keep an eye on the weighing, shouted, which immediately caused an exclamation of surprise.

Xu Qing stood in San Huzi's pig pen, discussing with San Huzi about collecting the pigs today.

Sanhuzi and his wife have been raising pigs for more than half a year. They are much tanner and tired and thinner than last year, but they have raised pigs that are fatter and bigger.

The meat factory and the grain station warehouse are not far apart. When Xu Qing walked over, Er Mazi had just parked the truck at the entrance of the grain station warehouse. Old Wu and several workers who came from the city on bicycles early in the morning were pulling the truck from the left side. The carriage opened, and sacks of corn were picked up and carried to the warehouse.

Xu Qing looked up at the sky, thought for a while and said, "It's on your side."

He closed the door and walked over alone.

It is not easy to raise black pigs to such a big size.

At nine-thirty in the morning, with the sun hanging in the east and shining brightly, Er Mazi drove a truck full of grain back toward the city.

Xu Qing took out a cigarette, handed one to Er Mazi who jumped out of the cab, stood aside and smoked:

"Brother Mazi, after the corn is unloaded, just watch and pack the white noodles and corn noodles. Today is the last day of the National Day. The canteens of several branches are waiting for you."

Xu Qing didn't say anything more. After smoking outside the warehouse, he stubbed out the cigarette butt with his toes, turned around and walked to San Huzi's house.

Sanhuzi was wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with four or five patches on it. He no longer repaired bicycles in the city, so he didn't pay much attention to whether it looked good or not. Anyway, it was enough to wear it. He said to Xu Qing:

Old Wu hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Big shopkeeper, no problem!"

"Old Wu, we have to deliver food to several branches today. Keep an eye on it. When everyone arrives, please make your hands and feet more flexible."

"Qingzi, should I do the weighing at my place, or should I ask you to do the weighing at the meat factory?"

Xu Qing walked to the door of the concierge, knocked on it, and asked Lao Suntou to hand over the key through the window. Then he opened the factory door and asked Er Mazi to drive the rumbling truck to the grain station warehouse first.

Er Mazi puffed on the smoke and said, "Don't worry, Qingzi, take care of me."

"One hundred and eighty-three pounds."

Sanhuzi's mother and daughter-in-law were happy and beaming with joy.

As for the price of pigs, Xu Qing and San Huzi discussed it and set it at 80 cents per catty.

One is that after the New Year, with the pace of reform and opening up, pork prices across the country have increased, and 49 cities are the capital. Compared with other places, the price of pork has increased slightly, with the retail price reaching 1.2 yuan.

The price of pigs has also risen accordingly.

Secondly, Sanhuzi raises pigs using the bran remaining after processing wheat in the warehouse of Xuqing Grain Station.

Xu Qing didn't ask for a penny, so he discounted the price of one yuan per catty for pigs in the market.

Regarding the price, Sanhuzi and his wife agreed, and Sanhuzi's mother had no objections.

This pig weighs one hundred and eighty-three pounds and can be sold for one hundred and forty-six-four yuan.

There are still nineteen pigs that have not been weighed. Sanhuzi's mother dare not think about how much money she will end up with if all twenty pigs she raises are weighed.

The onlookers' eyes widened as they saw the twenty pigs being weighed one by one. Xu Qing gave San Huzi 2,728 yuan.

Everyone was stunned and stunned.

They knew that Sanhuzi spent a lot of money to buy piglets, but piglets are so cheap. Sanhuzi sold the pigs for more than 2,700 yuan, even if half of them were the cost of buying piglets, but in half a year, they were I made more than a thousand yuan, which is much better than farming.

The villagers who were watching were all envious of Sanhuzi. They felt secretly moved and felt that raising pigs was really good.

Xu Qing collected the pigs happily. He neither asked Sanhuzi to starve the pigs for three or four days, nor did he deliberately lower the price like other pig collectors, but just accepted them directly.

Many villagers who came to watch looked at the thick pile of money in San Huzi's hand and couldn't contain their envy. They surrounded Xu Qing and asked:

"Boss Xu, if we raise pigs, can you collect them from us just like you collected pigs from Sanhuzi today?"

This is what Xu Qing was waiting for, and he loudly said to everyone who asked: "As long as you raise pigs, I will raise Sanhuzi's pigs today, and I will raise yours next year."

When the onlookers heard this, they were all elated and secretly made up their minds to raise pigs like San Huzi in the coming year.

Who let them see with their own eyes today that Sanhuzi made money.

At noon, San Huzi sent all twenty large black pigs into the breeding workshop of Xu Qing Meat Factory, then scratched his head with his hand and said to Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, it's not right to collect pigs today."

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingxiao asked.

Sanhuzi said solemnly: "Qingzi, brother, I have never seen other people collect pigs. Usually they will tell the owner of the pigs not to feed the pigs a few days in advance. If you collect them like this today, what will happen to the pigs' stomachs?" The food and water are not meat, so a pig must weigh more than ten kilograms."

Xu Qing smiled and waved his hand and said: "San Huzi, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry to kill these twenty pigs, and I don't need to be like other pig collectors.

My brother, you can raise pigs, which is a great help to me.

In the morning, you also saw that the people in your village want to follow you in raising pigs next year. From now on, my meat joint factory will collect pigs, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to accept them. "

San Huzi thought about it and felt that what Xu Qing said made sense, but he still reached out and took out the money on his body. He counted out two hundred and fourteen yuan based on fifteen kilograms, and forced it back to Xu Qing and said:

"Qingzi, you have helped me a lot over the years. I can't ask for these two hundred yuan. It belongs to me. I can't bear any less, but I don't want any extra."

Xu Qing looked at San Huzi with a smile, thought to himself, took out a cigarette, handed one to San Huzi, and they walked out of the breeding workshop together.

Xu Qing understands how to collect pigs. The reason why he is not like other pig collectors is mainly because he has the ability to divide one into two. He uses his ability to divide into two and does not need to care about those unworthy details.

If you starve the pigs for a few days before harvesting, you can lose more than ten or twenty kilograms on the scale.

But his top priority is to collect more pigs and collect more pigs.

Make the meat factory profitable as soon as possible.

If you just focus on petty profits and make calculations, you won't be able to harvest many pigs throughout the year, and you won't be able to use the split-in-two ability.

Familiarity is more important than familiarity, Xu Qing can figure this out.

However, Sanhuzi just sold the pigs raised this year to Xu Qinghou.

Not long after the turn of the day, it was time for the sow to give birth. Sanhuzi and his wife came to Xu Qing and said:

"Qingzi, my wife and I recently made a plan to raise twenty more pigs next year. I just found out that there are some breeding pigs in Tong County. I also plan to buy them. I will find others to buy them every year in the future. Piggy."

Xu Qing heard this and said happily:

"San Huzi, this is a good thing. When are you and Sister Wang going to leave?"

Sanhuzi became nervous for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak. After a moment of silence, he said:

"Qingzi, when Er Mazi doesn't drive your truck to the countryside, I will hire your truck to go to Tong County to bring back the two breeding pigs and piglets."

Xu Qing heard that San Huzi came here to borrow a car and said with a smile:

"The day after tomorrow, the weekend after tomorrow, Er Mazi said that he will accompany his wife to Tianjin to visit his distant relatives. He will not be able to come back until Wednesday next week. From the day after tomorrow until next Wednesday, you can use my flesh connection these days. factory truck.”

Sanhuzi nodded gratefully and said, "Qingzi, brother, thank you."

Three days later, on Monday morning, Sanhuzi brought a young man whom Xu Qing didn’t know into the meat factory and said to Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, this is my brother-in-law and his younger brother. He can drive. We will go to Tong County today and try to come back tomorrow afternoon."

Xu Qing stood outside the office door, looked at the young man next to San Huzi, then took out the truck key and handed it to San Huzi.

The next afternoon, when the sun was still hanging in the sky, San Huzi returned from a trip to Tong County. After unloading the piglets and breeding pigs in his pig pen, he and his wife cleaned up the truck compartment and returned it to Xu Qing. Don't.

After that, he started raising pigs non-stop.

When the people in Sanhuzi's village saw this, they all imitated Sanhuzi, built pig pens, bought piglets, and followed suit.

Xu Qing was extremely happy. Sanhuzi had been raising pigs for one year and had taken the lead, leading most of the people in his village to raise pigs. From now on, the pigs could be collected nearby.

Ermazi has been harvesting pigs from surrounding towns for more than a year, which also made many people in the towns consider raising pigs last year.

These days, Er Mazi can collect a cart of pigs and bring them back in almost two days.

As a result, there is no spare room in the pig house in the breeding workshop.

As for the slaughtering workshop, Hui Dehai and his apprentices were killing pigs all day long.

Xu Qing suddenly felt that the market for pork from his own meat factory must be expanded immediately.

It's not enough to just deliver it to the canteens of the No. 3 and No. 5 Red Star Steel Rolling Plants.

Harvesting pigs was a big problem last year, but after a year, the situation is much better now.

In the storage workshop, the three freezers were filled with pork every day, which forced him to buy three more freezers yesterday.

Xu Qing secretly felt that it would be difficult for the meat factory not to make money this year.

Harvesting pigs is easier than last year, and pork prices have increased.

The tight supply of pork in Sijiu City has not eased.

Xu Qing watched Er Mazi drive the truck out of the factory, turned around and returned to the office, picked up the phone and called his old classmate Li Guohua.

However, it took more than two years for the country to reopen, and the economic improvement can be seen. However, when you make a call, you still have to ask the post office to transfer it first.

Xu Qing could only sit on the chair in front of his desk. After the call was connected, he said:

"Guohua, I, Qingzi, want to tell you something."
