Lu Yuan hung up the phone and quickly ran to the backyard, where he saw that there were originally five pigs, but now only three remained.
The old man walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, and seeing Lu Yuan standing in front of the pigsty in a daze, he immediately went up to him.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yuan? Are you spacing out?"
Lu Yuan pointed to the three pigs that were fast asleep in the pigpen and said, "Grandpa, I remember we had five pigs in total, how come there are only three left now?"
Grandpa looked at Lu Yuan as if he were a fool and said, "Xiao Yuan, have you forgotten that last month you said you wanted to improve everyone's meals and you killed two animals?"
Lu Yuan looked suspicious, then pointed to himself and said, "Huh? I was the one who made this request?"
"Of course, otherwise, who would dare to touch the pigs in their house!"
Lu Yuan scratched his head, recalling what had happened before. So much had happened in this period of time. It seemed that he had just mentioned the matter of slaughtering the pig casually at the time, but he did not expect it to be done so quickly. It seems that he had been living a good life for too long!
Alright! In that case, we'll have to use pigs from the dimensional space!
So Lu Yuan returned to his room again. However, Wei Xiaoshan had gone downstairs to the kitchen to make pickled vegetables and canned fish with her mother and Lu Yuan's mother, in order to find something to do. After all, there were too many fish in the family pond, and the family couldn't finish them all. Although they would occasionally take some out to improve the meals of the people in District 3, storage had become a problem, so they could only make canned fish.
Lately, the house has been emitting a strong smell of rotten fish. Lu Yuan asked Xiao Shan and found out that the first-floor room has been used as a storage room. The weather is relatively good now. If they had made these pickled fish during the hot weather before the flood, the fish would probably have gone bad before they were even made. But it's much better to make them into canned fish. At least they will last longer than if they were put directly in the refrigerator. After all, it's been cloudy lately, and even the solar panels are not very effective.
Upon entering the dimensional space, Lu Yuan looked at the pigs there. There were five smaller ones, piglets that had been born just half a month ago. They already weighed over 100 pounds and were growing exceptionally well. Their skin was red and their fur was shiny, indicating that the meat was of very good quality. However, Lu Yuan did not intend to harm these pigs.
After all, if these piglets were to grow for a few more months, their weight could reach a thousand catties or even more. In addition to the five piglets, there are two large pigs in the space, which are bigger than cows. Lu Yuan has not weighed each pig, but he estimates that they will weigh no less than a thousand catties.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yuan decided to ask the other party how many kilograms of pork they needed. He didn't plan to send five of his own pigs, since the piglets had only been growing for half a month and it would be a waste to kill them.
So Lu Yuan took out his phone and dialed Chen Ke's number. It seemed that Chen Ke was negotiating with a group of people, and it was noisy and chaotic.
"Brother Lu, what's up? Has the pig problem been resolved? They're urging us to send the pigs over right away!"
"Yes! Of course I know. By the way, is the other person here? Let him answer the phone!"
"Okay! Brother Ning! My eldest brother is on the phone! He wants to talk to you!"
Chen Ke called out, then the voice on the phone disappeared, followed by a hoarse voice that sounded very unpleasant.
"Hello, I'm Ning San, and you must be Lu Yuan!"
"It's me! Hello, Third Brother Ning!"
"What do you want from me? Haven't we already discussed everything? You bring the pigs, and I'll give you the land! We'll exchange the pigs for the land! Is there anything you don't understand?"
The other person's tone was not friendly, clearly because they were annoyed at not getting what they wanted, but they couldn't retaliate, so they could only speak coldly.
"Brother Ning, I just wanted to ask how many pounds these pigs weigh! I'd like to slaughter them and send them over to you!"
After hearing this, the other party paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Of course, the bigger the better! Let's make this clear first! Piglets won't do; each pig must weigh at least 200 jin (100 kg)! We won't do it if it's less than that!"
After listening, Lu Yuan immediately felt reassured.
"Alright! Don't worry, Third Brother, I'll go back and slaughter the pig and deliver it to you! But since a whole pig is hard to carry, I'll just chop it up for you! That way, I'll make it a thousand catties for you!"
"Yes, hurry up! Several other clients are interested in this land! If you delay any longer, I can't guarantee that you'll still be able to buy it from them!"
Lu Yuan sneered inwardly. These days, these unclaimed territories are not worth buying, and people don't even want them if they're given away. Everyone is trying their best to exchange goods for food, otherwise they'll just have to wait to starve!
"Okay! I'll do it as soon as possible! Third Brother, just wait!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan hung up the phone and looked at the two big pigs in front of him, lost in thought.
"Which one should we kill? Forget it, let's weigh them first! Let's try to get enough weight from just one!"
So Lu Yuan moved a huge scale out of the small wooden house and placed it on the lawn. Then he put the largest black pig on the scale. The scale Lu Yuan bought had a maximum weighing capacity of 5,000 catties. He believed that apart from the cattle he raised, nothing could exceed this weight.
As soon as the black pig stepped onto the scale, the pointer suddenly swung, and Lu Yuan's heart tightened.
"Holy crap! No way, one foot weighs two hundred pounds! Goodness, what kind of pig is that?!"
