Chapter 88 Leading the whole village to prosperity
Zhao Tan took a bite of the braised pork in the bowl, his mouth full of oil, but he said, "After all, they are outsiders. How could the government agree to let the Xiao family be the head of the village?"
The so-called village head is always selected from the local people, and I have never heard of anyone from outside being a village head.
Over there, the Ma family had beaming joy on their faces. Several brothers in the family sat at each table, taking turns to toast.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal and if they were obedient, they would spit out the food as if it were free.
In addition to compliments, some people were genuinely curious: could digging a little deeper in the pigpen have such a magical effect?
The man from a certain family grabbed Ma Laowu and said, "Son, tell me the truth. Apart from what you just said, did you not feed the pigs anything special?"
Ma Laowu was a straightforward person, and he immediately shook his head and said, "No, uncle. I just want to ask you, if people eat like that, will their health be better?"
The man thought about it and it seemed to be true.
“It’s the same principle. Pigs eat so well, so why don’t they grow fast?” said Ma Laowu.
This sounded reasonable, so the man asked, "How much can you sell a pig for?"
"I really don't know about that." Ma Laowu scratched his head. The eldest brother was in charge of most of the pigpen matters. "Why don't you ask my eldest brother?"
Lin Xi, who was not far away, heard this conversation and walked over with a smile, "Uncle, you can ask me, a buyer, better than anyone else. I can tell you the truth. I buy the pigs raised by the Ma family at 15 taels per head."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped what they were doing.
Fifteen taels!
If their pigs were taken to the county town, they could be sold for at most twelve taels. But now Lin Xi asked for fifteen taels.
And you don’t have to run outside.
"Really?" The man was surprised and couldn't help but doubt. No matter how fast a pig grows, it is just a pig. How can it be sold for three taels of silver more for no reason?
"The pork you eat today is all from this pig farm. Doesn't it taste better than usual?" Lin Xi said.
After she said this, everyone began to taste the pork carefully.
Before, they were so busy stuffing the food into their stomachs that they had no time to taste it.
Now try it, it tastes really good, Lin Xi really didn't lie.
"Everyone, the reason we are holding this banquet today is, firstly, to celebrate the release of the Ma family's pigs, and secondly, to promote this pig farm to everyone."
"As you can see, the pigs raised here grow fast and sell for a higher price than those raised at home. However, there are still many vacancies that have not been used. If anyone in the village is willing to cooperate, they can contact the Ma family to sign up."
The man just now was in high spirits, "How do we cooperate?"
"It's very simple," Lin Xi said, "I will provide you with the method of raising pigs, and you can raise them according to my method. After you raise qualified pigs, I will directly purchase them."
"Is it that simple?" The man couldn't help but doubt. Everyone can raise pigs.
"Yes, it's that simple." Lin Xi paused, "However, I will provide the next batch of piglets."
Lin Xi has already checked the system. Each piglet costs 20 points. With her current points, she can exchange for a lot.
However, some people are still worried, "Sister, a piglet costs more than two taels of silver, and our family can't afford it."
"It doesn't matter," Lin Xi smiled, "If your family is in financial difficulty and can't afford the money, you can use the money from selling pigs in the future to offset it."
In this way, even if they cannot afford the money, they can still have a chance. This is great news for the poor families in the village.
Lin Xi added, "When this batch of piglets matures, keep a few breeding pigs, and you won't need to buy more later."
After hearing this, many villagers were moved.
If you invest two taels of silver in a pig, you can harvest fifteen taels in the future, which means a net profit of thirteen taels.
As for the labor they paid, they had no intention of keeping account of it. As for the vegetables they fed, the family had to eat them anyway, so they just needed to grow more.
"Hey, Ma Shanfeng, I want to sign up."
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
Everyone was so dazzled by the ten taels of silver that they didn't even bother to eat and went to the Ma family to sign up.
Zhao Tan saw the reactions of these people and felt uncomfortable.
It is indeed impossible for the government to allow the Xiao family to be the village head, but from the current situation, even if the Xiao family does not take the position, the villagers have placed the Xiao family, especially Lin Xi, in an important position.
What on earth does Lin Xi want to do by spending so much money to buy people's hearts?
After dinner, Lin Xi stayed in the village for the next few days. She was going to make a new batch of bacon.
This time the harvest was huge and it took a lot of effort just to kill the pigs and divide the meat.
However, thanks to the large quantity, Lin Xi was able to classify pork into several grades, and the price of the most expensive bacon was raised to one hundred and fifty cents.
Dai Jin'er almost fainted when she heard the price. Who is so rich that she would be willing to buy 150 cents of bacon?
Soon, Dai Jiner realized that she was worrying too much.
As soon as the most expensive batch of bacon came out, the owners of all the restaurants in Fenghe Town gathered at Lin Ji, and everyone was scrambling to buy the most expensive batch.
Linxi’s bacon has always tasted good, but the ones it sold previously were not differentiated by category, so it was difficult to differentiate them.
Now that the batches are larger and can be divided into different grades, the shop owners have long been eyeing Linxi's bacon.
When they asked for cooperation before, Lin Xi had always disagreed. Now that they have finally waited for a new batch, they rushed over immediately, fearing that they would be snatched away by their competitors.
Hong Sheng was at the front, "Boss Lin, your fish has always been supplied to our Jinxiulou, we have a good relationship, how much bacon do you have, I want it all!"
The other bosses were immediately unhappy when they heard this. "Boss Hong, since you have already bought their fish, you should give us a chance for the bacon. We will buy it at the original price and will not let Lin Ji lose a penny."
"That's right, how can Jinxiulou be the only one in the market?"
Lin Xi had a similar idea. It was indeed inappropriate to let one company dominate the market.
After careful consideration, she selected four restaurants with good reputations and sold all of the top-quality 100 kilograms of bacon.
As for the other bosses, Lin Xi did not let them go either. "The prices of the dishes in your restaurant are quite reasonable. It is not cost-effective to buy my bacon. In fact, the ordinary ones are more suitable."
The bosses thought what Lin Xi said made sense and brought some ordinary bacon.
After some promotion, Lin Xi successfully sold 500 kilograms of ordinary bacon.
At the end of the day, the total amount of silver he earned was sixty-five taels.
[Drops, experience points increased by 65 points, current total experience points are 706 points.]
Lin Xi looked at the balance of her account with satisfaction, while Dai Jin'er was stunned. She felt that Lin Xi was making more and more money.
Just when Lin's was about to close, a sedan chair suddenly arrived outside.
The master walked straight into Lin's, swaggering, and said to Lin Xi, "My master wants to see you."
