Chapter 210 Buying Pigs
"Most people don't need this thing. Many people may have encountered it before, but they didn't pay attention to it. Therefore, not many people have this thing on them."
"But it should be easier to collect this way. I have some here, but not a lot. I want to give you more of them together so you don't have to run back and forth again."
"No problem, thank you for your help"
"That's polite. I should thank you for taking care of my business."
Old Chen laughed out loud.
He had helped Qin Xingyue collect the things she needed over the past year, but Qin Xingyue had not treated him unfairly.
The two drank tea and chatted for a while.
Qin Xingyue went out and walked around the trading station. Now that she was out, she should relax. She didn't want to live such a stressful life.
After all, she is getting stronger and stronger. Besides wanting to keep herself alive, she also wants to live better and more freely, so proper enjoyment is also a part of her life.
The reputation of this trading station is growing, and more and more people come here. In addition to Lao Chen's own people, some people also come here specifically to take out things they don't need to see if they can exchange them with other people for things they need.
Old Chen did not stop this, but he asked those who came here to set up stalls to pay a certain amount of protection money.
Those people naturally disagreed at first, but after learning their lesson, they became obedient.
Of course, Lao Chen has his own way of doing business, and that has not changed even in the end times.
Those people paid protection fees, and he helped them solve their problems. When someone wanted to steal their things, the people in their small mountain village also came forward to help him solve the problem.
From then on, those people no longer had any complaints and became obedient friends. They also admired Lao Chen very much. As a result, more and more people came here, and her reputation became more and more famous. Similarly, she also had more and more good things here.
Qin Xingyue was walking with her little black dog on her back. When she reached a certain place, she saw someone selling piglets. Her eyes lit up and she immediately went over to them.
"How do I exchange this? What do you need? I want all these little pigs."
Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up and he looked up at Qin Xingyue.
But when he saw that she was alone, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Beauty, you should know how difficult it is to eat meat now. If I didn't need food now, I wouldn't be willing to sell it. So if you need to buy it, I don't want anything else, just exchange it for food."
"My requirements are not high. For this kilogram of pork, you need to exchange it with two kilograms of grain. Here are four piglets. I weighed them and they weigh 63 kilograms. If you want all of them, you need to exchange them with 126 kilograms of grain."
He said it, but he didn't actually hold out much hope.
120 kilograms of food. How can ordinary people easily come up with 120 kilograms of food now? This is enough for a person to live for many days.
What can I say about pork? Among those who have no shortage of food nowadays, if someone wants to eat meat, some people are willing to exchange two kilograms of grain for one kilogram of meat.
But in the hands of people who are short of food, it’s fine if they can’t afford to exchange it, and even if they can afford it, no one is willing to exchange it.
After all, food is life-saving. To exchange two kilograms of other food for one kilogram of meat is something you would do only if you are crazy.
If you want to eat meat, you can't make the exchange like this. Otherwise, after eating the meat this time, you will be hungry in the future.
The woman in front of him didn't look like someone who could produce 120 kilograms of food.
He gritted his teeth. Although he didn't hold out hope that the other party would buy all of them, as long as the other party was willing to buy one, or even if that didn't work, he would be willing to kill one and exchange it for a few pounds.
There was no other way. He couldn't afford to raise these pigs now. Compared to eating pork, he needed food more. He couldn't last long with just the pork. But as long as he replaced it with other food, or more food, then things would be different.
In just a short while, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Qin Xingyue took a look at the pigs. Although they were both food, one was meat and the other was vegetarian. Two kilograms of other food could be exchanged for one kilogram of pigs. This was not an exaggeration. She was not short of other food, but she was short of pork.
And this is a live pig. I can raise it myself and it will grow bigger. If...
Thinking of this, she asked: "Can these pigs mate with each other?"
I was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to ask this question, but I still answered truthfully: "There are two boars in here, but they are still small now, and they will be fine when they grow up."
Qin Xingyue nodded: "Okay, no problem, keep these pigs for me, wait for me"
It would be even better if they could mate. I would raise them in the space first, and then let them mate when they grow up. Then they would give birth to more piglets. In this way, I would not be short of pork to eat.
This is a good deal.
So after saying something to the pig seller, Qin Xingyue went back to find Lao Chen and borrowed some food from him. She promised that she would have someone deliver the food to him after she returned to Tianyue.
Although she had food in the space, she couldn't take it out like this, so she could only borrow some from Lao Chen first.
Hearing this, Lao Chen was stunned for a moment. Food is of vital importance nowadays, and more than 120 kilograms is not a small amount.
He looked at Qin Xingyue and nodded: "No problem, I'll have someone get it for you later."
Although 120 kilograms is not a lot, it is not so heavy that he cannot bear it. He believes in Qin Xingyue's character. If he really loses the bet, it will only be these 120 kilograms.
"Thank you."
Qin Xingyue nodded.
Old Chen asked curiously: "Why do you need so much food all of a sudden? Are you facing any problems?"
"Nothing, I want to buy pigs, but they only want to exchange them for food."
Qin Xingyue told the truth.
After hearing this, Lao Chen didn't know how to react. In the end, he could only raise his finger at Qin Xingyue and said, "You are so generous that you are willing to exchange so much grain for such a small amount of pork. I would not be willing to do so."
"Haha, you have to have a balanced diet and eat meat occasionally."
Qin Xingyue made a joke. Just at this time, Lao Chen's people also brought the food. After thanking Lao Chen, she easily picked up the 120 kilograms of food and went to find the pig seller.
Old Chen and his men behind him opened their mouths slightly wide when they saw Qin Xingyue carrying the 120-pound thing so easily.
