When the visiting group arrived at the pig farm, they were shocked again: rows of neat pig houses, all made of bricks and tiles, and even the floor was covered with thick cement. They were clearly numbered at a glance.

Some people couldn't help but ask: "You Jiapigou are really willing to invest. With these red bricks and cement, wouldn't it be good to build a house?"

Captain Zhang recovered from his pride for his son and choked the other party:

"We are using good steel to our swords. We will get rich first and then build a house. We will live in a big brick house and be extremely poor in the house. Isn't that interesting?"

This made sense, everyone nodded, and then entered the pig farm, where they saw a man in work clothes walking towards them carrying two buckets of pig manure.

He was still humming a tune in his mouth: "I have a pig's head in my body, and Zhu Bajie is causing trouble in Gao Laozhuang. I have a pig's head in my body again, and Zhu Bajie's son is Little Kerang."

"Are you Zhang Zangzi?"

Old Party Secretary Liu came up and took a closer look. Yes, it was Zhang Pangzi.

At the beginning of winter last year, Zhang Ganzi went to their village for a blind date, and the one he introduced was his widowed niece.

I had long heard that Zhang Ganzi was a lazy man, so during the blind date, I specifically asked him to help with some work.

Of course, it's not a heavy job, it's just cutting the corn grass into small pieces with a guillotine, which can be used to feed cattle and horses.

As a result, when the meal was ready in the house, I went outside to see that there was no bundle of grain and grass, and no one was there.

It was Party Secretary Liu's niece who had good ears. She heard something moving in the grain and haystacks, so she went over and took a look. Zhang Zhanzi was sleeping soundly inside.

Secretary Liu was so angry that he went up and kicked the lazy man awake. He even beat him away without even leaving any food to eat.

It was precisely because I was so impressed that I recognized this piece of shit at a glance today.

Zhang Gangzi squinted and said, "Who are you? You look familiar. Don't get in the way. I haven't finished picking the pig manure yet."

"Zhang Gongzi, can you do this dirty work?"

Secretary Liu was a little unconvinced and asked again.

"What's wrong with this job? It's much better than digging out thatched cottages."

Zhang Gangzi rolled his eyes and seemed to remember: "You are Liu, the eldest brother of Shoulin Village, and Wang Cuihua's uncle, right? Last year on a blind date, you kicked me several times. Today, when we came to my territory, I happened to kick you back."

."

This guy was wearing boots, and the soles were covered with pig shit. He was so frightened that Party Secretary Liu quickly hid behind the Party Secretary's grandfather. He was now sure that this Zhang Pangzi was still the same bastard thing.

The old party secretary immediately went over and gave Zhang Gangzi a kick and shouted: "Go to work quickly, this is a guest from our village."

Zhang Gangzi then reluctantly carried the pig dung and walked away, leaving a smelly smell all the way.

"This kid is really more promising than last year."

Party Secretary Liu gave a fairly fair evaluation. After all, even lazy people know how to work, which proves that people also have ambitions in their hearts.

Everyone has actually felt it for a long time: Although Jiapigou is not yet rich and even borrowed loans, in the whole village, everyone is motivated and has hope in life. Is it possible to get rich far away?

When I arrived at the pig house, I looked at the little piglets, eating food, drinking water, and growing meat, and I felt even more envious.

"This is about five to six hundred piglets. Can you raise them? Give us half."

Captain Wu wanted to share half of it when they met. Who wouldn't be greedy when they saw this pig farm?

"Old Wu, you really have a mouth like a lion. We piglets eat dry food and drink water automatically. There are only three people in the whole pig farm, one is crushing feed, one is feeding the pigs, and the other is shoveling shit. Why can't we raise them?

"

The old branch secretary cheerfully refuted the other party, now that I have a piglet in my hand, I don't feel panic, since it was you who begged me anyway.

"Okay, okay, let's just beg you, Jiapigou Head Office. I owe you a favor this time."

Old Party Secretary Liu is still able to bend and stretch, and just put his words to the point. The rest depends on Jiapigou's choice.

Party Secretary Grandpa and Captain Zhang looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then the old Party Secretary said: "We live in eight villages within ten miles, no one can ask for help from anyone, and even Secretary Sun is here, how can we get this face?"

Give."

Everyone was happy when they heard it, and it was a worthwhile trip to get the piglet back.

There was also an unexpected gain. The development of Jiapigou gave them a sense of urgency, which invisibly added a lot of motivation and inspired them.

"But, the price..."

Grandpa, the branch secretary, brought the conversation back again.

Upon hearing this, the heads of these branch secretaries and captains were all shocked: Sure enough, they were still going to be slaughtered.

But they had no choice but to admit it. After all, even if they had money, they wouldn't be able to buy so many piglets during this period of time.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Of course, the sooner you buy piglets, the better. Otherwise, by the end of the cold weather, the piglets will not grow up and will freeze to death.

"Old Zhang, how much do you piglets cost per pound? We'll give you an extra ten cents. What do you think?"

Old Party Secretary Liu was very cruel and gave a price.

The villagers who followed were overjoyed: Qingshan was right. In just a few days, the price of piglets has risen a lot.

Grandpa, the branch secretary, did not say a word, but kept smiling and shaking his head.

"Then add two cents per pound, let's do it at the head office!"

After saying that, Party Secretary Liu was a little angry. This was not taking advantage of the situation, it was too unethical.

The party secretary still shook his head, and the commune secretary Sun felt that it was a bit too much. Just when he was about to say a few words of justice, the old party secretary spoke:

"The rabbits haven't eaten the grass on the edge of the nest yet. We all belong to the same commune and have all been affected by the disaster. Can we, Jiapigou, make money from you without conscience? The cost is fifty cents per catty. We don't want to take advantage of it.

It’s done.”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they were all overjoyed:

"Old Zhang, you better be more particular about Jiapigou!"

"That's so generous. If you need us from Shoulin Village for anything in the future, just say hello!"

"We are doing the same in Qianqian Village!"

Jiapigou immediately gained a lot of goodwill. Secretary Sun of the commune also smiled and praised the village cadres in Jiapigou for their good conduct.

On the other hand, the villagers like Uncle Boss and others who came with us were secretly unhappy: What about selling them at a high price as promised?

It's heartbreaking to think about it. If the piglets were sold for an extra two cents per kilogram, they would almost be able to make back their money.

Who wouldn’t be happy to start a business without capital?

Even if some piglets are damaged during the breeding process, it won't be too distressing.

Only Liu Qingshan knew the inside story and laughed without saying a word. He had worked out this strategy with his grandfather, the party secretary, and his uncle, the captain.

The rest was simple. The pigs were caught and weighed, and the piglets were put into large baskets one by one. Then the village sent several large carriages to deliver them to various production teams.

"It's almost noon, let's have a bite of rice at Jiapigou."

Grandpa, the party secretary, said hello, but everyone was eager to take Piggy back to the village and refused. Even Secretary Sun of the commune rode his bicycle and went back with him.

The trend of eating and drinking has not yet taken off.

After all the outsiders left, the villagers began to complain.

"Everyone, don't worry, we actually made a profit."

Liu Qingshan stood up and explained to everyone: "This piglet has been raised here for more than a week and has gained several pounds."

Yes, everyone suddenly realized that the piggy was almost twenty kilograms. If such a big piggy went to the market, no one would buy it.

Even if someone buys it, the price will have to be pushed down hard.

He was thinking a lot, and he quickly figured it out: "What's more, we pigs are well fed, so we just soaked the scales and took a lot of advantage."

Everyone continued to nod. Everyone had gone to the buying station to sell pigs. After arriving there, they would deliberately dry you for two hours until all the feces and urine in the pigs' stomachs were emptied before they were weighed.

So after all calculations, I actually made a profit and gained a good reputation.

Reputation may seem useless, but in fact it is very useful.

For example, when young men and women are introducing a partner, a boss like Zhang Gangzi has a bad reputation on the street, so naturally no one wants to pay attention to him.

As the good reputation of Jiapigou spread, girls from eight surrounding villages were proud to marry in Jiapigou, and the young men in that village no longer had to worry about finding a wife.

Even if the girl marries to another village, she still feels righteous.

These can be regarded as the hidden benefits brought by a good reputation. It seems that the party secretary is very cunning and thinks long-term.

If we only covet the immediate benefits and offend all the people in the village, even if someone proposes marriage in the future, as soon as they hear that they are from Jiapigou, they will think of this and say a few depressing words, and the marriage may be ruined.

Woolen cloth.

After thinking about it, everyone stopped complaining and went about their work happily.

After the crowd dispersed, the old party secretary patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder: "Qingshan, what a good boy, it's all your credit for our Jiapigou to be so proud for the first time!"

Whether it is building greenhouses or raising pigs, Liu Qingshan has always been the leader behind the scenes and has contributed a lot to it.

"Hey, Grandpa Party Secretary, do you want to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your position?"

Liu Qingshan said jokingly.

"I really want to, but I'm afraid that if you don't do it right, Qingshan, you will go to college in the future and become a national cadre after graduation. I'm afraid that you will never want to come back to our Jiapigou."
