Chapter 278 Buying Pigs
Village head Wang expressed the question in his heart: "What are you buying the piglets for? The piglets must be carefully raised, otherwise they will die easily. It is better to replace them with big pigs, which can be killed immediately."

Dad Wen explained with a smile: "Mr. Wang, it's like this. My friend said that he wants to change big pigs and small pigs. I guess he wants to raise a small piglet."

"Well, there are quite a few families in this Little Piggy Village who want to change out. Generally, the family needs to kill pigs next year to change Little Piggy. Otherwise, most families are not willing to change. If you still want It would be better to change that."

Village Chief Wang finished speaking happily, and looked at Papa Wen expectantly.

Dad Wen nodded with a smile: "If there are piglets, they must be exchanged, so let's go at the market price, how many big pigs and piglets you can exchange, we will convert them into cloth or white flour, you see feasible?"

Village Chief Wang thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Brother Wen, sit with your daughter for a while, and I'll go out and discuss with the big guys, can we make a deal?"

Dad Wen nodded with a smile and agreed: "Yes, why not, then you go, we will wait for you to come back."

Village head Wang got the answer and trotted out.

Dad Wen said at this time: "I guess I went out to make statistics."

"Dad, I don't think they may agree to change it according to the market price. What do you say if they don't agree?"

Father Wen took a sip of sugar water and said lightly, "It's impossible to disagree. Although the current national open policy has increased the supply of many things, not everyone can buy cloth and white flour."

Wen Shunian breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid of making various requests, so it would be good to solve it directly, convenient and quick.

About an hour later, Village Chief Wang came back, and said with a happy face: "I just went out to count the pigs that can be exchanged in the village. The big pigs can be exchanged for four, and the small pigs can only be exchanged for five. Do you want to exchange them?" ? Let me tell you first, the big pig has two black pigs, and the little pig has three black pigs."

After hearing this, Dad Wen got a little excited, and said with a smile: "Sure, a few of them are already pretty good, so have you counted the weight?"

"It's all counted. The five little piglets add up to 75 catties, the two black pigs weigh 240 catties, and the two white pigs weigh 360 catties. They all add up to 670 catties."

Dad Wen nodded with a smile: "Well, since the village is going to change, and the village head Wang has already counted, then my daughter and I will go to buy goods, you see?"

"Wait, wait, the people who exchanged pigs in the group told me what they want to exchange. I counted, there are nine households who exchanged pigs, and they needed to exchange nine hundred catties of flour and 25 bolts of cloth in total. They used the money they paid for their children’s education and some foreign debts.”

Father Wen and Wen Shunian looked at each other, Wen Shunian nodded slightly, then Father Wen smiled and said, "That's no problem, but there are only a few colors for the fabric, they didn't ask for a color, did they?"

Village Chief Wang immediately shook his head: "There is no requirement for this, and I will not hide from you that the reason why so much flour and cloth is exchanged is for the whole village, and then we can exchange what we need in the village, so that we don't have to go to the city to buy them back. I need a ticket."

When Wen Shunian saw the village chief finished speaking, he quickly got up and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, can I borrow the toilet?"

Village Chief Wang immediately pointed to a place outside the house and said, "Here, just go in that pigsty."

Wen Shunian hurried over and said while running, "Dad, you have to wait for me."
