Chapter 028 Private Discussion

[Incubating…]

The primary breeding area can hold a total of ten animals. Tang Yuan picked around and finally found two fertilized eggs from the stored eggs. He placed them in the breeding area, and then the breeding area displayed the "hatching" prompt.

The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was that the newly built breeding area was about the same size as the cabin next door.

But when she thought about eating chickens, eggs, and even raising pigs after raising them, the discomfort in her heart instantly subsided. These days, nothing is more important than eating. Raise chickens now and pigs in the future. She can eat as much meat as she wants, even if she has to sleep on the floor for a few years.

Tang Yuan stood at the entrance of the breeding area and looked at it for a while, and his mood gradually became happier.

The next step is to wait for the chicks to hatch.

She turned around, went back to the wooden house, picked out a batch of good eggs from a basket, took them out of the wooden house, and walked towards Aunt Cao's house.

As soon as I reached the door, I met a woman walking out with a child in her arms. She must be Aunt Cao's daughter-in-law.

Tang Yuanchong smiled at her and said, "I'm here to see Aunt Cao."

"She's in the house," the woman said, and she called back, "Mom, someone's here to see you."

"Who is it?" Aunt Cao came out of the house and greeted Tang Yuan with a smile when she saw him. "You are here. I have been waiting for you. Come in quickly. Let's talk inside."

She took the small basket of eggs from Tang Yuan's hand and placed it on the table.

"How many are there?"

"There are 25 eggs in total. Don't worry, they are all good," Tang Yuan said, removing the straw for her to see for herself. "If Aunt Cao needs them later, I can bring more."

"Of course it's needed." Aunt Cao went to the kitchen, took a container, and passed the eggs over one by one. After confirming the quantity, she took the same amount of bacon as agreed between the two.

During this time, Aunt Cao's daughter-in-law had been standing at the door holding the child. She didn't come in until Tang Yuan left with the small basket. She asked, "Mom, was that the man who exchanged eggs with you?"

Changing things was allowed at this time, so she naturally didn't say much.

"Yes, there are 25 eggs. I exchanged them for some bacon. It's just right for Xiao Mian to make egg soup," said Aunt Cao. "I'll make you a bowl of it later."

"I don't need it," the woman shook her head, "Just give it to Xiao Mian."

"Yes, we'll change it after we finish eating. With the conditions in our house, why would we save one or two eggs?" Aunt Cao made the decision directly. "You too, can't always think about the children, you have to think about yourself too. We women have to think about ourselves. Let me tell you, the woman next door looks so filial. Others say so, but I think she's suffering. And..."

The woman listened, knowing that she was going to gossip again, and felt helpless. But perhaps it was precisely because Aunt Cao loved gossip and knew exactly which family was doing well and which was not, so she would not make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

According to her, the worst thing a person can do is not to look for trouble. People who look for trouble are just trying to endure hardship. Not only will others have a hard time, they will also have a hard time.

"I know. I'll listen to Mom. She'll also make a bowl of eggs for lunch. If we can exchange them, we won't be short of these eggs." said the woman.

"That's great," Aunt Cao nodded, looking at her daughter-in-law with satisfaction, "I said that people like my daughter-in-law are filial. They can live a good life themselves and also help their family members live a good life. That's good."

…

Tang Yuan brought the bacon back and cooked himself a bowl of bacon rice at noon.

The bacon rice was cooked in the game space, and water was boiling in the coal stove outside, just to let people know that she had turned on the fire.

She hadn't eaten meat for a while, and now she just steamed a few pieces of bacon with rice, and she felt the fragrance lingering in her mouth, which aroused her desire to eat meat again.

The two brothers who sold pork were bound to fall out sooner or later, but if there was no one behind the scenes fanning the flames, it might take a long time for the relationship to break up.

She licked her lips, still hoping to take over some of the pork business as soon as possible.

After dinner, before it was time to go to work, she went back to her room and read with the door open. Occasionally someone passed by the door without even saying hello to her.

Her taciturn personality has spread in the factory. Everyone knows that she is not talkative, especially after Tang Jianguo's accident, she has become even less talkative.

But no one thought that there was something wrong with her. They just thought that she was too traumatized and too sad, so she became less talkative.

This also allowed her to take advantage of "Xiaofang's" body to go out for a walk every morning. She would be less noticeable if she stared blankly in her room than in the boiler room.

When the time came, she simply packed up, took the "old reference book", and went to the boiler room to continue daydreaming.

Not long after she sat down, she changed her body and read a book in the game space.

During this time, she had read through her high school textbooks bit by bit. The familiar knowledge that had been gradually forgotten was recalled in her mind, and she quickly mastered the high school knowledge.

She had considered the college entrance examination, but felt it was not appropriate.

Tang Yuan's physical condition was only up to the third grade of elementary school, and her "dull" personality made it almost impossible for her to teach herself to go to high school in two years.

As for her current physical condition, strictly speaking, she is still an "illegal resident". No matter how well she studies, she cannot take the college entrance examination. However, for her, the focus is on learning knowledge, and a diploma is secondary.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she sat against the wall, continuing to read the book in her hand.

Soon, it was time to make a deal with Sun Dong.

This time, Tang Yuan waited in the dilapidated house early until Sun Dong quietly walked in.

As soon as they met, he immediately said, "Sister Fang, we have caught the man. From now on, that man will not dare to follow us anymore."

Tang Yuan was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Sun Dong immediately explained the matter clearly, and then said: "I just taught him a lesson. He sprained his leg, and he dared not speak nonsense without evidence. Otherwise, he would be charged with false accusation, which would not be good for him. This way, we can move around more in the future."

"With just a few eggs, why bother walking around?" Tang Yuan wondered.

"Although it's just a small order, I can deliver the freshest eggs to you," Sun Dong said immediately, "Don't worry, Sister Fang, I can come every day."

"No need. Just come every two or three days. There aren't many eggs these days," Tang Yuan said. Seeing that Sun Dong wanted to talk, he spoke first, "If you want to do something, why don't we talk about collaborating on another thing."

"What's the matter?" Sun Dong asked immediately.

"You know, there used to be a pork seller on the black market..."

"Yes, I know that gang." Sun Dong also just learned about the situation of those people, but when he talked about it now, he was very clear and logical. He started from when he met Zhao Zhiqiang, and said that he had been free these few days, so he deliberately kept a closer eye on the two brothers and even found out where they raised pigs.

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You even found out where they raise pigs?"

"Yes, ever since Guo was arrested, it's been a mess over there, with no one to guard it. I need to raise more than 30 chickens to keep one pig, so it's easy to find," Sun Dong boasted. "If I wasn't a kind person, no one would notice if I stole one or two."

"Is there any benefit in stealing it?" Tang Yuan looked at him. "Do you have enough space in your house to store the pork? And can you keep it from being discovered?"

"Uh..." Sun Dong was choked, "Well... it should be possible to find it carefully, but I won't steal it. Don't worry, Sister Fang. Although I am a speculator, I am a good person. I just want to make a living, so I will never do anything sneaky."

"I really plan to let you do something sneaky," Tang Yuan said. Seeing him stunned, he continued with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to steal. I just have an idea. Listen to me..."

Sun Dong moved closer and listened to her talk, and after a while his eyes lit up.

"Can you do it?"

"I'm asking you if you can do it. It's not convenient for me to go to your place. Since you can, I naturally want you to go. It depends on whether you have the courage." Tang Yuan looked at him meaningfully.

Sun Dong rubbed his hands and said, "Pork is 80 cents, no, don't mention it, 90 cents a pound. I sell eggs for 5 cents each, and I have to sell 20 eggs to buy a pound of pork. This is a big deal."

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"Raising chickens is the same as raising pigs. We have to raise them anyway, and it doesn't take much effort," Sun Dong said in a low voice. "If we do this business now, can we still catch up with the business during the Chinese New Year?"

"Do you dare?"

"Of course I dare. Why shouldn't I? I'm already a speculator. What difference does it make if I raise more or less?" Sun Dong said excitedly. "Even if it's Zhao Zhiqiang, can he really fight with them and cooperate with us?"

Tang Yuan put his hand to his mouth and whispered to him the method.

Even if the two of them were in an environment where no one would notice them, they had to avoid being overheard, not to mention that what they were discussing was not a good thing.

Sun Dong listened to him, nodded repeatedly, and chuckled: "I understand. If we do this, the two sides will have to quarrel. There are so many pigs, and they have gone their separate ways. We have to give Zhao Zhiqiang a few more, even if it's just three or four more. If we raise them for a few months, we will not only have enough to eat during the New Year, but also enough to sell."

After saying what he needed to do, Sun Dong sold the eggs he brought to Tang Yuan. After Tang Yuan left, he stayed alone to think about what to do.

That night, he quietly carried the props to the top of the hill where the pigs were raised, and slipped in despite the loose defense.

The props in his hand were very simple, just some red potions.

Since the reason for the conflict between Zhao Zhiqiang and Zhiyong was because of the sale of sick pigs, let the conflict between the two become more intense. Only when the quarrel is intense enough will the conflict between the two become increasingly irreconcilable and the two can truly go their separate ways.

"I am a good person and will not do anything bad. But since you, Liu Zhiyong, are so cruel, don't blame me for being unjust and selling sick pigs! I will make all your pigs become sick pigs!"

He had no direct interest in these people, but he almost bought the pork. When he thought that the pork he almost bought was sick, he was naturally very angry.

He had no problem doing this today.

What's more, he can also make money from this incident.

As expected, I can still eat meat by following Sister Fang.
