The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 135 Drop by
When Shiliu heard this, she hurriedly said: "That's great! Let's go buy it when we get back!"

Li Jizhong's father-in-law's family is in Zhangjiacun, not far from Dafengji. It is indeed a convenient way to pass by on his way back.

The mule cart entered Dafengji first, and Shiliu stopped by Datong Warehouse to tell Ding Fuguang that someone had sent duck eggs and asked him to help collect them.

Ding Fuguang heard that Xinglongzhai's business was good today and that Wang Mian had increased the reservation quantity. He knew that eggs must be used for the salted egg yolk. A salted egg yolk is an egg, so he immediately said: "Why don't we use it in the future?" Set up a point in this warehouse to collect eggs for you. When the time comes, you can go directly to the warehouse to pick them up or I will have someone deliver them to you. The eggs from these ten miles and eight villages can be collected for you, which saves you the trouble. A lot of trouble.”

Pomegranate laughed when she heard this, "That's great, but I'll be troublesome to my adoptive father!"

As he said this, he reserved five taels of silver for him, specifically for collecting eggs, and would make up for it when it was gone.

Ding Fuguang couldn't help but ask her about the meat floss again. Hearing that the meat floss must be made from whole lean meat, he said directly: "That's easy to say! I'm familiar with several butchers who sell meat at the market, and few people buy the lean meat. , I’ll negotiate a price for you, and I’ll save you a penny or two. I’ll ask them to cut off all the lean meat and send it to me, and then I’ll ask He An to send it to your home.”

Pomegranate felt warm in her heart when she heard this, "Father, isn't this too much trouble for you?"

Ding Fuguang smiled and said: "I am only a daughter like you, and it is rare to have a daughter! What are you telling me about whether it is troublesome or not? This is just a matter of convenience for me!"

"Is it enough to collect lean meat from just a few butchers? How about I contact a few more butchers in the city for you?"

After listening to his words, Shiliu knew that he regarded her as one of his own family members, and it was only natural to say troublesome and polite words to his family members, but no one should give unconditionally, even family members, should reciprocate the same love.

She smiled and agreed, "The meat floss can be stored and the meat is used a lot. It would be good if we could contact more people! With the help of my adoptive father, I have saved a lot of things."

"That's right, if anything happens from now on, just talk to your stepfather!"

After leaving Dafengji, the mule cart turned around and turned down a trail in Xianci. After walking only two or three miles, it entered Zhangjiacun.

Zhangjiacun is a small village. There are only about thirty households, all with the surname Zhang. Naturally, everyone knows Li Jizhong, the son-in-law of Zhangjiacun. No, as soon as the mule cart entered the village, he was approached by an old man walking around the village entrance, "Isn't this?" Jizhong! Come to see your father-in-law! Huh? Who is this little girl? "

Li Jizhong greeted with a smile: "Where is the third uncle taking a walk? I have something to do at my father-in-law's house! This is my niece, her family's mule cart!"

After hearing this, the third uncle glanced at Shiliu and said, "This belongs to your cousin Jihe's family, right?" Obviously everyone knew that Li Jihe's family was booming recently.

Li Jizhong responded, "Yes! Third uncle, I'm going to my father-in-law's house first. See you later!"

With that said, he drove the mule cart and continued towards the village.

We passed several houses along the way, all saying hello, until we arrived at Zhang’s house.

"Uncle is here! Uncle is here!" The little boy in the yard saw it with keen eyes. He immediately shouted into the house to announce that grandpa was here, and then he went to the door and opened the door, "Uncle!"

"Brother Ming!" Li Jizhong smiled and touched his head, and asked Shiliu to get out of the car and go to the courtyard together.

The courtyard wall of Mr. Zhang's house is a fence, and the gate is too small to allow the mule cart to drive in until it is unloaded, so it had to stop at the door.

Inside the house, listening to Brother Ming's shouts, Father Zhang, his son and daughter-in-law came outside.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother——" Li Jizhong greeted people.

When Father Zhang saw his son-in-law coming home, he smiled broadly and hurriedly waved people into the house.

Zhang's two younger brothers were busy calling themselves brother-in-law. Pomegranate also called people sweetly, so she followed Li Loquat's call and called her grandpa and uncle.

When Father Zhang saw her, he thought she looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he recognized the person and said, "Hey, is this the little girl from Jihe's family?"

"Yes!" Li Jizhong answered: "Dad, I'm here to ask if your butcher has come to order the two New Year pigs? If not, my niece will buy them!"

When Father Zhang heard that his son-in-law had brought people here to buy pigs, he said, "Not yet! I'm planning to ask your eldest brother to go to the market tomorrow to contact the butcher! Your cousin's family wants to buy a New Year pig? Both ends. want?"

"I want them all!" Li Jizhong said, "I have to ask my eldest brother and my second brother to help me send them over quickly!"

"Sure! What a big deal! Let your eldest and second brothers deliver it!" Father Zhang agreed without saying a word, and immediately took his son-in-law to the backyard to watch the pigs.

These days, pigs are fed only pig grass and bran. There is no such thing as pumpkins and sweet potatoes that later generations would feed pigs if they couldn't finish them all. People don't have enough to eat. Sweet potatoes and vines are about the same. Of course, pig feed is more No more!

Therefore, the piglets that weigh about 40 to 70 pounds bought in the spring of a year will only weigh 230 to 40 pounds at most when they are fed to the New Year pigs in the twelfth lunar month or sold.

The selling price of live pigs is only about sixty-seven yuan per pig to two yuan per pig.

A pig weighs about two hundred and forty kilograms, which is two ounces of money. Just like the pigs the Li family sells every year, the Li family can raise pigs of about two hundred kilograms every year.

A 240-pound pig can produce approximately 180 pounds of meat. Fifteen cents per pound, which is 7 cents per pound, as well as pig offal, pork bones, and suet, are not worth much money at all. , butchers also make a lot of money.

Anyway, you won't lose money if you buy pomegranate directly from the pig. After removing the lean meat, the rest is used for cooking, so you still have to buy it.

Of course, if I can get Ding Fuguang's help in negotiating to buy only lean meat in the future, I can save a lot.

At the moment, these two pigs are for sale.

The Zhang family's two pigs weighed about 200 kilograms each. Pomegranate was given seven yuan per pig according to the market price, and the money was paid on the spot.

Then, the eldest and second brothers of the Zhang family quickly helped drive the pigs out of the pen and returned to Xiahe Village with Shiliu and the others.

Driving pigs also requires skill, otherwise, the pigs will come out of the pen and run around, and you won't be able to catch them.

The eldest and second brother of the Zhang family send their pigs to the butcher in Jishang every year. They have a certain skill in driving pigs, so just traveling a few miles is really not a problem.

The journey went smoothly and they rushed into Xiahe Village and were sent directly to Shiliu's house.

Pomegranate wanted to let them in to have a bowl of sugar water and rest. The two of them waved their hands and said that they were just coming to see their eldest sister, so they went with Li Jizhong.

The tribesmen who were busy building houses also laughed and joked when they saw Shiliu come back with two pigs.

"Did Pomegranate buy a pig to kill the pig for the New Year? When will it be killed? My uncles and brothers are all here to help with the pig's pressing!"

Pomegranate said with a smile that it was getting dark today and she would kill the pig early tomorrow morning. She would wait for her uncles and brothers to help butcher the pig. The pig would be killed for rice!

As for this moment, it is important to quickly move a car full of eggs and duck eggs into the warehouse.
