Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 276 Ten Fat Pigs

They also have a trying attitude. If it is true, they might sell it in the future.

I caught a pig and weighed it, and it weighed 230 kilograms.

The total is two hundred and seventy-six dollars.

Zhang Weiguo gave the money directly to the village chief, and only then did the village chief confirm that it was real.

A person’s work points for a year are less than 100 yuan.

That's just about seventy yuan, just a small fraction.

Seeing more than 200 yuan, the villagers were very happy.

If they didn't have a mission to complete, they would have wanted to sell all the pigs.

If you sell all these pigs, you can get nearly two thousand yuan.

This is a huge sum of money for a village.

If they had so much money, they could buy a lot of food.

With so much food, they can live a good life.

Zhang Weiguo collected the pigs and asked the villagers to move them onto the car.

Zhang Weiguo drove away and took the pig to the old winery.

Unload the pigs into the pigsty and then feed them.

I added bean cakes to the pig feed to supplement the pigs' nutrition.

The next day when he arrived at the factory, Zhang Weiguo gave the buyer ten yuan.

This made this person very happy, and the other buyers were very envious.

They also want to make the ten dollars.

Zhang Weiguo asked them to try their best to find it, and he would give them ten yuan if the deal was successful.

They just need to provide one clue, and Zhang Weiguo will handle the rest.

Zhang Weiguo doesn't care about money at all.

No matter how much it is now, two months later, the price will not be the same as it is now.

Zhang Weiguo will sell it to the factory at the price two months later.

At that time, the price of pigs increased by several dozen kilograms, which was enough to make up for the current price difference.

Everyone else thought they had made a great deal, but Zhang Weiguo did not lose anything.

One of them is that Zhang Weiguo has a place to raise pigs and enough food to feed the pigs.

If you don't have enough food, if you raise the pigs for two months, not only will they not grow, but they will also lose several pounds of meat.

At that time, you will lose money on your pigs, and even a higher price will not make up for these losses.

You also have food for pigs and bean cakes, which all cost money.

If you want a pig to grow meat, you have to feed it well and keep it from moving.

Pigs can only grow meat by eating and sleeping.

In the following period of time, Zhang Weiguo often went out to pull pigs. Sometimes he asked for money directly, and sometimes he asked for part of the money and part of the food coupons.

Zhang Weiguo has received ten pigs, all of which are being raised in the old winery.

Most of these buyers have already earned ten dollars.

“Those who haven’t made money should keep working hard, and those who have made money should keep working hard.”

When they see others holding ten dollars, they are really envious.

It's not difficult to make this money.

They only need to provide a piece of information, and Zhang Weiguo will negotiate the rest.

The price is high, and there are food coupons to trade. No one can resist such temptation. As long as they are willing to sell, the deal can be made.

The price is the same, one dollar and two cents, no higher and no lower.

This ensures fairness. Everyone pays the same price, even if they ask each other.

No one will feel unbalanced and think that they have sold at a loss.

Others were selling it for RMB 1.2, but I sold it for RMB 1.1, so I lost money.

That simply won't happen.

They talked to each other and decided that if the price of pork was not less than 1.2 yuan, then don't even think about buying it.

Only Zhang Weiguo can afford such a price; no one else can afford it.

Moreover, seven or eight kilograms will be deducted from the weight of the pig.

Zhang Weiguo not only offers a high price, but also does not deduct any price. The price is exactly the amount weighed, neither more nor less.

No one can say anything. Even if there are opinions, there is no problem and you can choose not to sell.

Zhang Weiguo would not break the rules just because of a pig.

You have broken the rules. Others are thinking of doing the same thing, but you tell them how to do it. Then they have no way to do it.

In just a few days, Zhang Weiguo received ten pigs.

The task is now half completed. From now on, there is no need to rush and I will just search slowly.

There was always a few more pigs to be found.

During this period, Zhang Weiguo did not return to the courtyard and lived in the old winery. Zhang Weiguo was afraid that if the pigs' diet was changed suddenly, the pigs would not be able to adapt and might have problems.

Anyway, Ran Qiuye doesn't live in the courtyard anymore, so it doesn't matter whether Zhang Weiguo goes back or not. He just needs to go back and take a look sometimes.

Zhang Weiguo lives in the old winery. If he doesn't go back for a long time, he is really worried that his house will be robbed.

There is also a thief named Banggeng in the courtyard. This guy is really awesome.

Even Zhang Weiguo was afraid of the lock, which might not be able to protect him from this guy.

This kid has a great talent for stealing.

If this kid develops in this area, he can achieve great success.

There is a special line of work that does just that.

They are thieves, also called pickpockets, a group of people who specialize in stealing things. They have a special name in this city, which is Buddha's hand.

Zhang Weiguo didn’t know what this group of people were like because he had never met them before.

But these people do have some strength as they are able to form their own faction.

There are all kinds of people, and Zhang Weiguo has never come into contact with any of them.

Everyone is trying to make a living, and Zhang Weiguo has no opinion on these people.

Especially the Buddha's hand, Zhang Weiguo was still very curious about what kind of skills these people had.

How did they practice to be able to steal other people's things without being discovered?

Some people say that they practice using soap in water, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.

They all start practicing from a very young age, and will only release them after practicing for a few years and achieving some results.

Zhang Weiguo always wanted to know if he could find out if these people were stealing his things.

If they can't find it, how great must such a person's skills be.

If Banggeng joins them, he will definitely be able to make something of himself.

There are all kinds of people hiding in Sijiu City, not only people from all walks of life, but also some descendants of the previous dynasty, and even quite a few eunuchs.

Even though these eunuchs have no children, they have been in the palace for so many years, it is impossible to say that they don't have a good thing.

Later, even the emperor fled, so how could the things in the palace not be stolen?

These eunuchs all have good things in their hands, but they just don’t take them out.

They will also adopt a son to take care of them in their old age. Without good things, where would they get the money?

Their wealth is certainly not as good as those of princes and nobles. Their family background is rich, and it is the wealth accumulated by several generations.

These people don't know how to work and they all live on their ancestors' property.
