Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Successfully Bought

"Old Li, you called us three here, is there enough food for everyone?"

"Don’t worry, there’s definitely enough for you to eat."

Qu Xiaoli added another two scoops of sorghum rice right when Jin Erlin came in.

Today’s lunch is sorghum rice with cakes and tofu pudding.

With not much on the side, Li Xue harvested some chives to fry with eggs and then another dish of chives.

"Xue, make the cakes sweet; otherwise, there won’t be enough to eat."

Li Yungui and Jin Erlin were sitting under the tree roots, "Old Li, I heard you’re planning to set up a pig farm? Let me tell you, M City has a new breed of fat pigs."

"Really? Teacher Jiang mentioned looking for new pig breeds."

"Yeah, we brought some pork from there. I heard they can be marketed in ten months."

"Old Jin, I want to buy some piglets."

"I’ll give you the address, but I’m not familiar with the place. Once you’re set, give me a call and I’ll drive there."

"Okay, that’s great. You wait here while I go discuss this with Teacher Jiang."

Jin Erlin watched the bustling Li Yungui and laughed, saying to Li Manjiang, "Your dad is bound to succeed."

Li Yungui arrived at the Wei Family’s place while they were eating.

"Village Chief Li, have a seat and eat."

"No, thanks, Jin Erlin is at my place. He said he’s been to M City, and there’s a new breed of fat pigs there. Should we check it out?"

"Yes, let’s go take a look. Bring one of our village’s uncles to see. If it’s feasible, buy as many as you can. We can build a larger pig farm and later breed our own pigs."

"Alright, Jin Erlin gave me the address. Xiao Wei, you go take a look. Tomorrow we have to deliver public grain, so I really can’t leave."

Wei Kaiyun nodded, "Sure, I’ll go. You talk to Uncle."

"Can we go today?"

Wei Kaiyun wanted to say the pigsties weren’t built yet, so why rush to buy piglets? But he understood, given the current temperature is fine. Later might be too cold.

"Alright, you make the arrangements. We’ll take the bus to the city."

Li Yungui excitedly went to Uncle Li’s house to explain the situation.

"Sounds good, but these thirty piglets need someone to take care of."

"Uncle, rest assured. I’ll have Fifth Uncle look after them."

Li Yungui returned home, smiling, and sat next to Jin Erlin. "Old Jin, it’s settled. Xiao Wei and the village elder will go over this afternoon. If possible, we’ll call you."

"Alright, you’re really in a hurry."

"How can I not be? It’s about to get cold, and Teacher Jiang said pigs can catch colds too. By then, it’ll waste money."

Jin Erlin loved eating sorghum rice with tofu pudding. He had two big bowls and a cake.

"Your family’s food is delicious."

"Come around often for meals in the future."

After finishing the meal, Li Yungui took the address and letter of introduction from Jin Erlin to Wei Kaiyun.

Uncle was ready, so Old Yang drove them to the city.

Shi Xian didn’t insist on going this time, whether he realized it wasn’t a trip for fun or saw that his siblings weren’t going.

Anyway, he had a sweet nap with his mom at noon.

There are many trains to M City, and they got tickets as soon as they reached the station. Because it was close, there were no sleeping berth tickets, and the two squeezed for a while before finding seats.

"Xiao Wei, why so many people?"

"Uncle, this is normal. We’ll arrive by noon tomorrow."

"Hope we can buy them. Otherwise, the fare would be wasted."

Wei Kaiyun nodded with a smile. When they reached M City, they directly asked for the address.

They found the pig farm’s manager, who showed them around.

Uncle was very excited, secretly saying to Wei Kaiyun, "Xiao Wei, these pigs are great. Look at the meat on these fat pigs’ butts. We have to buy them."

"Alright, I understand. I’ll go discuss it with them."

Finally, they agreed to sell them fifty piglets, each around thirty pounds, at one yuan per pound, which means each pig is thirty yuan. These fifty pigs cost 1,500 yuan.

Finally, Wei Kaiyun bought two sows and one boar from them for another 1,000 yuan.

Wei Kaiyun called from the pig farm, and Jin Erlin didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.

"Xiao Wei, rest assured. I’ll send a car over right away."

"Captain Jin, make sure to bring more tarps and put some straw on the truck."

"Alright, got it. I’ll arrange it immediately."

"Also, please inform Village Chief Li about our estimated arrival time, so he can prepare in advance."

"Got it, got it. It’s no trouble at all."

Uncle was grinning from ear to ear. The trip was truly smooth.

The elder, being clever, made friends with the workers and looked at their feed. There were no secrets; they told him everything.

Now Uncle felt the trip was definitely worth it.

Wei Kaiyun thought since he’d come to M City, he should explore a bit and bring home some local specialties. So he asked the local manager specifically.

Uncle didn’t go out, feeling he should learn more. Though it might not all be useful, Yun Gui said Teacher Jiang had feeding methods, but learning more never hurts.

Wei Kaiyun wandered around by himself but didn’t find anything particularly good or not available back home. The supplies were quite similar.

In the end, he just bought two pieces of cloth and some snacks not available at home.

He didn’t visit the recycling station, not out of fear, but not wanting to cause trouble. freewebnσvel.cøm

Back at the pig farm, accommodations were arranged, but Wei Kaiyun was a bit displeased with the cleanliness. However, since they could leave by the next night, it was bearable.

Jin Erlin made arrangements, and the driver set off. He rode to Li Family Village.

Li Yungui received the news, filled with mixed emotions; happy that they had bought the pigs but worried about where to place them.

"Let’s put them in the livestock shed for now. We can arrange someone to clean up," suggested Li Cunshan.

"Alright, we’ll house them there for now. Fortunately, Doctor Liu can help check on them, in case any are sick."

Liu Xuefa now not only treated people but also regularly checked the chicken farm. Now he had the pig farm to manage as well.

Previously, with his pride and temper, he would’ve never done this, considering it a disgrace. But after the incident, he only felt warmth in Li Family Village.

So he let go of all his previous pride and was willing to do tasks he once scorned.

With many hands, they cleaned the livestock shed in a day and a half. It looked spotless, and Liu Xuefa provided disinfectant, making Li Yungui even more relieved.

They used many plastic tarps on the shed without hesitation, and he rode to the county supply and marketing cooperative, buying more thick plastic sheets.

Li Cunshan’s little pigs were also brought over, all housed together, as the night temperatures were already low.
