Chapter 173 Expanding the Pig Farm
Shen Qingyue carried Xiao Hei out to play. The puppies in the village were all running around. Being carried around by someone showed how much they loved him.
Xiao Hei was also very proud, wagging his tail from side to side, and humming from time to time, beckoning Shen Qingyue to look at him.
Xiao Hei is a cute dog. He gets so excited when his chin is scratched that he even lets others touch his ears!
When the other dogs in the village saw this, they all chased after the dog and barked. Xiao Hei didn't need to bark, he just whimpered twice. He just looked at Shen Qingyue pitifully.
He Zhengchen went out with Shen Qingyue. As a child who grew up in the city, he had to help chase the dog.
The dog was not convinced after being chased away. It turned around and barked several times before leaving.
He Zhengchen came over and saw that Xiao Hei was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep. He Zhengchen used his hands to play with its ears.
Xiao Hei was unhappy about being touched and pulled his ears back!
He Zhengchen was so angry at the hypocritical behavior of this little dog that he laughed: "They say that dogs rely on their masters for power, and it's true. He was very well behaved when he was with me before, but now he has a temper."
Of course, Shen Qingyue also noticed that the dog was a bit arrogant.
Dogs have different personalities just like people do, so I specifically asked, "Are you such a puppy?"
The puppy whined and looked at Shen Qingyue with its watery eyes, as if it was soft and tender.
Shen Qingyue was amused by the dog and raised her eyes to ask He Zhengchen: "How did you pick such an interesting puppy?" It's so funny.
He Zhengchen said, "He's the best-looking of the litter."
It was still a puppy when I brought it home.
Now that I have raised it for a while, its fur has become shiny black and it looks even more majestic, like a little tiger.
This little puppy with a majestic appearance can guard the house on weekdays, but as soon as it comes into contact with Shen Qingyue, it wants to be hugged, and even uses its two little paws to cling tightly to Shen Qingyue's hands.
Very scheming.
No wonder the wild dog saw him and couldn't help but bark at him. It was unhappy with Xiao Hei.
The two of them walked together and came to the pig farm.
The strong women hired here are all from other villages. They are also poor people with no one to rely on.
I heard there was a pig farm here, so I volunteered to come. One of them was called Aunt Li, and the other was called Aunt Xu.
The pigpen here is clean and flushed daily. Twenty piglets, and I still have to cook their food. They've grown quite a bit after just a few days. The half-grown pigs are the most voracious eaters, and they're always howling at their food bowls, even though they've only just finished eating.
As soon as Shen Qingyue arrived, Shen Mei noticed her. She smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shen Qingyue said, "Come and take a look around." Anyway, the work is almost done now. With so many people on hand, she also needs a proper rest.
He Zhengchen couldn't help but say, "Big sister, the pigs here are really well raised." They looked clean and plump.
The villagers joked that they would come to buy pork in winter, and if things continued like this, they would be able to slaughter a batch of pigs for the New Year.
The eldest sister said, "This pig is easy to raise. It doesn't get sick easily and it grows fat." She was also very nervous before raising the pig.
I go to the library every day to copy books, and I take care of the pigs very carefully. I am afraid that the pigs will get sick. I have to cook the pig food every day. I take care of them very carefully!
I have never encountered any of the terrible diseases mentioned in the books.
Seeing the pigs gaining weight, Chen Mei was filled with ambition: "I'd be happy to bring back twenty more."
Shen Qingyue’s canteen needs a pig a day.
Chen Mei wanted to offer her own pork so she wouldn't have to buy it. Furthermore, pigs raised at home don't need feed, so the meat is more flavorful and safer to eat.
Shen Qingyue said, "Okay. I'll go to the pig farm later and ask him to pick out some more piglets."
Chen Mei said, "Yeah." She had loved raising this thing since she was a child. Now she felt a sense of accomplishment.
The current pig farm is located in a very remote area of the village, and many people don’t come here once a year.
Now that we are raising pigs, many people come to visit when they have nothing to do.
After staying for a while, someone asked them to go back.
When Shen Qingyue returned, she found that it was Liu Jiandang and Liu Jianjun. They seemed to have suffered a lot and their skin had become darker after returning from outside.
During this period, they went out to learn skills at their own expense. Shen Qingyue also heard that now that the house in the county has been delivered, they will naturally come back to set up a decoration team.
They came back to find Shen Qingyue. The renovation team of more than ten people had almost gotten used to it.
Shen Qingyue had already prepared everything on the first floor, all for business.
Reserve the plumbing and electrical outlets. Modify the kitchen chimney. Whitewash the walls. Use carpentry to build tables, chairs, and benches. Set aside the shelves.
More than 20 stores are decorated like this. This way, they can have a unified style and purchase items in a unified way.
The renovation was also quick. There were six more houses, and Shen Qingyue planned to decorate them as model rooms, with six houses and six different styles.
There are simple and affordable ones, grand and luxurious ones, fresh and simple ones, brightly colored ones, warm and comfortable ones, and pure Chinese classical ones.
There were several people in total. Shen Qingyue divided them into two teams. Liu Jianjun led six people to do interior decoration, and Liu Jiandang led six people to do storefront decoration!
In addition to basic salary, everyone also receives dividends, which is enough for these people to support their families.
Shen Qingyue had used all her previous money to buy a house, and she still had some money on hand but had to use it for cash flow.
The first thing a renovation team needs to do is buy building materials. These are very valuable.
To renovate 30 houses, she needs to spend at least 30,000 yuan. Now she has many employees, and her daily expenses are huge. She earns and spends continuously, plus she needs to purchase goods.
Shen Qingyue had recently spent a lot of money on building a pigpen and a cold storage, and she was out of money.
He Zhengchen said, "I have it." He directly gave all his belongings, 200,000 yuan, to Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue doesn't want it.
He Zhengchen said, "This money is just for me. I'm glad you can use it."
Shen Qingyue wanted to say something else.
He Zhengchen asked, "Do you think my money is not enough?"
Shen Qingyue had no choice but to say, "Then I'll use yours for now. I'll definitely return it to you when I have it."
He Zhengchen said, "You don't have to return it. Just keep it for your use." After a while, he added what he wanted to say in his heart: "What's the difference between yours and mine?"
Shen Qingyue glanced at him, and He Zhengchen turned his head away embarrassedly.
With He Zhengchen's financial support, Shen Qingyue now has a lot more money.
They simply gave them the money for the building materials. To find the cheapest materials, the Liu brothers went to the provincial capital to buy them. Including shipping costs, they could still save a third!
Moreover, there are many styles of panels in the provincial capital. Once the materials are returned, the decorators suddenly feel confident. Just wait and see, the decoration will definitely look good.
