"Huh? Really? You really don't want to return the goods?" The farm owner gave Qin Suyun a suspicious look. "If you return the goods, I won't be returning the 20,000 yuan deposit!"
"Boss, don't worry! I promise I will come to pick up the goods tomorrow morning." Qin Suyun nodded, and almost patted her chest to make a promise to the farm owner.
Taking a look at what the pigs looked like wasn't a big deal. The farm owner thought about it, nodded, and walked with Qin Suyun into the pigpen. As they walked, he introduced the pigs to Qin Suyun, saying, "We saw these fragrant pigs from farmers in the neighboring province. They were well raised and sold well, so we wanted to give them a try. But I didn't expect that the fragrant pigs shipped from other places by the neighboring province could be raised well. But when they came to us, problems arose... In the first few days, there was no problem. They ate and drank well, but within a week, these piglets seemed to be having trouble acclimatizing. They had no major problems, but they kept having minor ones... Tsk! It's really strange. Our two provinces are so close to each other, and the climate and environment are similar! Logically, this shouldn't happen!"
The farm owner really couldn't figure out what had happened, but the pig farm was so small, so the owner took Qin Suyun and quickly walked to the place where the little pigs were fed.
Because these piglets were small to begin with and were all sick, the farm owner put all of them in one pigpen to prevent the diseases carried by these little pigs from spreading to other piglets.
When Qin Suyun looked over, she found that these little pigs were exactly as the farm owner had described. Not only were they all listless, but they were also very thin. Some of them even had ribs clearly visible. They were so much worse than the four chubby little piglets she had bought before, which were light pink in color and full of energy!
"Look, this is what happens to these pigs." The farm owner looked at the dozen or so little pigs in the pigpen with a worried look on his face, and his irritable mood was self-evident.
Look at those little piglets, their bones are so thin, can they still be called pigs? His dogs are stronger than these pigs!
The little pigs looked so sick that the farm owner felt that he had not yet made back his money and that he would lose money on the first batch.
Just as the farm owner was about to sigh and lament that raising small fragrant piglets was not so easy, Qin Suyun, who was standing next to him, looked up at the farm owner. The woman's watery eyes looked at him with a smile, "Boss, I wonder how much these small fragrant piglets are for? I have never seen such small fragrant piglets before. They are very cute. I want to buy a few to take home as pets. What is your price?"
"Huh? As a pet?" The farm owner looked at Qin Suyun in a daze, and his twisted neck seemed to make a rusty gear clicking sound, as if he didn't understand what Qin Suyun said at all.
"Yes, it's a good pet. Isn't it said that pigs don't grow up? Many people abroad like to raise them." Qin Suyun said with a smile, as if she didn't notice the astonishment on the farm owner's face. "But boss, how do you calculate the price? Your little piglet looks sick. If it continues like this, it won't have much time left, right? So how about selling it to me at a lower price? It's better than letting it die in your hands. It's such a waste."
"But you won't be able to keep this pig alive if you take it back." The farm owner touched his forehead, looked at Qin Suyun with a troubled expression, and continued, "I'm not bragging, but our farm's breeding technology is one of the best in the entire Yunhai City, and we've been praised by the leaders several times! On weekdays, many farmers who don't know much about breeding will come to me to learn... So if you buy this pig, there's a good chance you won't be able to keep it alive. If you want to keep a small fragrant pig as a pet, you might as well get two dogs."
"The big yellow dog that guards our house has recently given birth to puppies. If you like them, I can give you one later." After all, the customer was a big customer who came today, and the farm owner didn't want to cheat him, so he persuaded him seriously.
"No, just this little fragrant pig. We have a lot of dogs at home. If these pigs die in my house, I will take them to our dogs as a snack." Qin Suyun waved her hand nonchalantly, with a firm look as if she just wanted this little fragrant pig.
The farm owner tried to persuade the woman, but after a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "In that case, I'll sell them to you at a discount. I paid over 800 yuan for these little pigs when I bought them. Back then, meat prices hadn't risen so high. If they were sold now, the price would be at least double."
"I won't lie to you. Although these pigs are sick, they are meat after all. So 300 yuan per head cannot be any less. This is because you just did a big business with our family." If the price is less than this, the farm owner would rather keep the pigs at home. Anyway, the price of pork is so expensive now. Ordinary pork that used to cost ten yuan now costs for forty or fifty yuan. In some places, good meat without skin can even be sold at a high price of fifty or sixty yuan.
Therefore, the sick pigs that no one ate before are now bought by people for seven or eight yuan per pound!
After all, this is a fragrant pig from their family.
"Okay, then I'll take all 17 of them. I'll see if one or two can survive." Qin Suyun said with a smile. She had spent so much money on those lambs and piglets before, and now the price is so cheap, how could she not be tempted?
The farm owner stared at Qin Suyun in astonishment. He never expected that the woman in front of him would actually buy back all the sick pigs in their family. Could it be that this woman thought her breeding skills were particularly great?
The farm owner smacked his lips and finally asked, "Do you really want to buy it? If it dies later, I won't be responsible. If you come to trouble me, I won't recognize you either."
"Don't worry, boss. I will never cause you any trouble." Qin Suyun smiled. She always felt that the farm owner in front of her was a very vigilant and cautious person.
17 piglets were neither too many nor too few. The farm owner prepared three cages for Qin Suyun and put all the dozen or so piglets in them.
Seeing that she had bought so many piglets, Qin Suyun thought about it and bought an extra bag of feed from the boss.
In addition to selling mature pigs, cattle, sheep, and their offspring that can be slaughtered for meat, the farm also sells some medicines and feed that are commonly used by these livestock.
She had already purchased the medicines for pets and livestock online, but she didn't stock up on feed. She planned to buy livestock and poultry and then go to the city to buy them wholesale.
After all, feed is not like pet medicine, and it would be too conspicuous if it was sent by express package.
The feed at the farm is more expensive than the one sold directly in the market. She doesn't have that much money, so she decided to wait until the day after tomorrow to go to the market for a walk.
After Qin Suyun made up her mind and paid the money, she took the livestock home.
The other chickens, ducks and geese were still alive and kicking when they returned home, but the condition of these 17 little pigs was even worse than before they got on the bus. They all lay sickly in the cages. Even when she opened the cage doors, few of the piglets were willing to move and come out.
Seeing this, Qin Suyun became a little anxious. She hurried upstairs to take out the jade dew that had been stored for the past few days, took out a few water boxes, filled them with clean water mixed with jade dew, and placed them in front of the piglets.
Perhaps it was the animals' natural instinct. When the clear water with jade dew was brought over, the dozen or so sick little pigs and other livestock and poultry all stared at the water boxes in Qin Suyun's hands.
It's like they have some kind of radar installed on them!
But she herself did not have such a feeling at all. In fact, if it were not for the strange behavior of Dahei and the other two guys, she might not have known the purpose of these jade dews so quickly.
These little piglets, who were so sick that they didn't want to get up, all stood up and stumbled over to drink water when they saw Qin Suyun put the water basin in front of them. The other livestock were no exception.
Qin Suyun added clean water mixed with jade dew twice, and food with jade dew once.
She didn't dare feed it to them anymore. She always liked but also feared this magical jade dew. She was afraid that if they accidentally ate too much at one time, other side effects would occur. She was also worried that the output of the jade dew would not be enough to keep up with her consumption speed.
Therefore, even with so much drinking water, she only added one drop of Jade Dew each time.
The piglets that had drunk the drinking water were gradually becoming more energetic and spirited than when they first arrived, as if they were gradually recovering. Qin Suyun then added another drop of Jade Dew to their food.
The little pigs recover at an amazing speed, and they look completely different every time you go to see them.
Qin Suyun stared at the piglets that began to jump around in the pig pen and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this jade dew was even more practical than she had imagined. "It seems that when I go to pick up the meat tomorrow, I can ask the owner of the farm to help me buy back a batch of small fragrant pigs. I can also ask the owner to help me castrate them before I come back."
The market owner bought this batch of mini pigs with the intention of raising them as breeding pigs, so none of these piglets have been castrated.
However, castrated pork tastes much better than non-castrated pork, and it also grows faster and fatters more easily than other non-castrated pigs.
Sometimes it’s tiring to make money and it’s tiring to spend money!
Especially when she had to move so many heavy objects by herself every day and had no way to find anyone to help, she felt even more tired.
The farm owner was asked to help deal with the cows and pigs in advance, but when Qin Suyun got up early the next morning and drove to the farm, she found out that the "dealing" the farm owner meant was very different from what she had imagined. Qin Suyun stared at the things in front of her and was dumbfounded for a moment.
