Chapter 232 Extra 2: Great Harvest (Part 2)
So the village chief went to coax Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen told him the method of brewing wine, but he didn't brew it himself.
Ever since the wine was placed in the cellar, I have been feeling uneasy and not sure if it will succeed.
I heard that the quality of the wine will be known in a month.
Aunt Dahua complained to Shen Qingyue, "I don't expect him to make anything delicious, as long as it's wine."
The dozen or so jars that Shen Qingyue had were also very popular among the Shen sisters.
It is only taken out for big occasions, and there are still eight jars left.
This wine gets better with age.
Shen Qingyue wants to keep these jars and drink new wine this year.
Shen Qingyue said: "Grapes are not enough."
No wonder she asked that, this year's grapes have become popular before they even go on sale.
She also has a need for winemaking.
Aunt Dahua said, "That's enough. There are plenty of grape vines on the mountain."
Aunt Dahua sighed, "Thank goodness we have the mountain. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to build such a large place."
Moreover, the temperature difference in the mountains is large, and there are strong winds and rains, so the fruits grow better than in farmland.
While the two were talking, three baskets of grapes arrived.
Aunt Dahua was afraid that they would rummage through the grapes, so she hurried over and said, "Don't worry, there are plenty of grapes. I'll help you get them."
There is no difference, except that the grapes shed grains.
If you were to be more rough, each basket of grapes would weigh about three or four pounds.
Although these things were also distributed to the helpers.
But Aunt Dahua is from the older generation and she is thrifty. These three or four pounds of grapes cost a lot of money.
Even if you have money, you can’t squander it!
Just like that, Aunt Dahua carefully picked up the grape roots and said, "Can this bunch be bigger?"
The other party said, "Okay, three more." After saying that, she couldn't help laughing: "I just wanted to buy one, but the waiting time is too long. I feel like I'm getting a bad deal by buying one."
"Who says it isn't? I'll buy some more too. Luckily I brought enough money."
"It just so happens that Shen Qingyue is here too, and the pigs are over 300 pounds. When will we slaughter them?"
This one sentence ignited the fire in everyone.
Killing pigs is good.
Last year, the little bit of pork we had was so delicious that it made everyone dizzy.
I didn't eat enough.
Although grapes are suitable for people of all ages, if you want to satisfy your craving, you still have to eat a big mouthful of braised pork. If it’s too salty, you can pair it with some rice or something.
I can't help but feel excited when I think about it.
Shen Qingyue said: "The pig is too small. I plan to raise it until the end of the year."
This pig will weigh 400 to 500 kilograms by the end of the year. It will taste even better then.
The people here joked, "I can't wait to get on the pig's leg and take a bite. Why are you bringing up pork for no reason?"
Shen Qingyue said: "If anyone wants to buy pigs, I can sell a few. You can take them home and raise them yourself." It can also make room for the pigpen!
When the pigpen was first built, the space was actually quite large.
Who would have thought that the more pigs were raised, the more they would appear.
There are now more than 90 pigs weighing 200 to 300 kilograms.
There are a hundred piglets weighing about a hundred pounds.
It's really quite a lot. There's no room for any more.
The people here were really tempted. But after hesitating and thinking for a long time, they finally refused: "No. Pigs are not that easy to raise."
Besides, now not only their village, but also the neighboring village has been encouraged to grow vegetables in small vegetable gardens.
There is only a small amount of space around the house, so there is no room to raise pigs.
Besides, the pigs here eat slop brought back from the canteen, and they eat very well. If they were here, they would have to rely solely on grain and pig grass to feed them.
That’s all manpower!
If you have that much time, you might as well come and do odd jobs for Shen Qingyue.
After much thought, they decided that raising pigs was a good idea, but they couldn't do it.
But Shen Qingyue said this at noon. In the afternoon, people from the pig farm came to Shen Qingyue and asked, "Are you talking about selling pigs?"
Shen Qingyue got goosebumps: "You are so well-informed."
They have such a small place, yet they have an insider knowledge of the pig farm.
The person in charge of the pig farm said, "Well, it doesn't matter who you sell it to, so why not sell it to us?"
The pig farm has been targeting Shen Qingyue's family since last year when their pigs didn't become popular.
But Shen Qingyue wanted to kill the pig herself.
They didn't get any, so Shen Qingyue took them to the steel mill and sold them. This completely established the reputation of her pigs.
Now there are imposter Shen family pigs appearing in the county.
Right now Shen Qingyue’s pigpen is full and she wants to sell a batch of pigs. Isn’t this an unexpected opportunity?
The pig farm is the best choice!
Shen Qingyue thought about it and agreed. It doesn't matter who she sells it to, so selling it to the pig farm would save her the trouble.
That's how we negotiated a price.
The price given by the pig farm is quite high.
He wanted to buy all 100 piglets weighing 100 kilograms each, and even forced Shen Qingyue to give him four big pigs.
Shen Qingyue, the big pig, was not willing to sell it, but the pig farm insisted on having it, and they ripped him off at a steep price.
There were only ninety large pigs left in the pigpen. These were the New Year pigs to be slaughtered at the end of the year. They couldn't be sold later!
I paid after the pigs were weighed at the farm. Before leaving, I couldn't help but sigh: "They were all piglets I picked from the farm, but why are the ones you raise different from those raised elsewhere?"
Shen Qingyue said: "It's delicious."
Pig Farm said: "It's true."
Others don't have such unique conditions.
One or two buckets of slop is not enough for so many pigs to eat, and only the ones in the canteen can withstand being fed like this.
The pig farmer said, "I have some piglets that are only a month old. Bring them back to raise." He also had a little idea. Maybe if he took more, he could sell them again by the end of the year!
Shen Qingyue said: "I'll ask my elder sister later."
The pigpen was still under the charge of Shen Mei. As every profession has its own expertise, Shen Qingyue did not jump to conclusions.
The people from the pig farm drove away in a smelly truck full of pigs.
Shen Qingyue was walking back when she saw a few people from other villages carrying grapes and chatting with the villagers.
Seeing Shen Qingyue walking by, he couldn't help but say, "Oh, your village has become very popular. Grapes, pork, all good things. People from other villages want to move to your village."
Shen Qingyue smiled and said, "Really?"
The people of Liujia Village said proudly: "Our village is good, no wonder others want to come here."
The villagers feel proud from the bottom of their hearts, and of course they have not forgotten who brought them this pride.
If there were no Shen Qingyue, their village would not be what it is today.
