A few days later, Zhu Wenyan brought more than 20 piglets to Song Yuehua.
Pork prices are high now. A piglet costs two taels of silver, which is twice the price at normal times.
These piglets are almost enough. It would not be worthwhile to buy more. The total cost is 40 taels of silver.
Looking at the remaining 590 taels of silver, Song Yuehua secretly vowed not to take the gold ingots.
Liu Xue was so excited when she saw the 20 piglets sent to the mountain, "Master, we can finally raise pigs again!"
"Do you still remember how to raise it?" Song Yuehua said.
Liu Xue held the struggling piglet in her arms and said with a smile, "Of course I remember. I am feeding pigs in my dreams now."
Dreaming about raising pigs? What's wrong with this?
Song Yuehua was too lazy to talk to her about this. It was enough for her to see her happy.
"It would be nice if there were a few more." Liu Xue said.
Song Yuehua sat beside him and chopped cabbage sticks. "It's enough to raise these 20 this year. There's no profit in high input and low output. Let's wait until next year and raise 200 pigs at once."
"200?" Liu Xue took a breath of cold air, and then said timidly, "How about raising 100 first?"
"Look at what you have achieved!" Song Yuehua said with a smile.
With the arrival of piglets in the yard, Grandma Xi became busy. In addition to checking the health of the piglets, she also had to cook pig food.
Ding Cuigu picked up the chopped vegetable leaves to feed the chickens. After hearing what Song Yuehua said, she also joked, "If we raise 200 pigs next year, I'm afraid Manager Liu won't have time to meet people."
"Meet each other?"
Liu Xue quickly waved to Miss Ding Cui, and meeting Song Yuehua's eyes, she could only say, "Matchmaker Tang said that several people from other villages have taken a fancy to me and asked if I would like to take a look..."
"I had never thought about this kind of thing before. Later, Bai Shu advised me, and I thought about..."
Liu Xue said this, blushing and lowering her head.
Song Yuehua had really forgotten about this matter. Now that it was brought up, she said gently, "If you meet someone you like, get to know them well. If they are someone you can entrust your life to, then naturally you will get married."
"Master, don't you object?" Liu Xue asked.
Song Yuehua asked curiously, "Why should I object?"
"I see that the master is about my age and has no intention of seeing me, so..."
When Liu Xue finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Song Yuehua opened her mouth. She felt so wronged. What was going on?
"No matter what I do, I won't stop you from getting married!" Song Yuehua said excitedly, "This isn't some evil cult, what are you thinking!"
Liu Xue nodded quickly and comforted him, "That's not what I meant. I was just overthinking it."
"Oh..." Song Yuehua felt helpless.
Liu Xue picked up the chopped vegetable leaves, stood up and said, "I'm going to feed the chickens."
After lunch, Song Yuehua went directly to Tang the matchmaker's house from the compound.
"Oh, what a distinguished guest!" Matchmaker Tang said with a smile.
Song Yuehua was a little overwhelmed and could only say, "Aunt Tang, I'm here to ask about Liu Xue."
"Xiaoxue," Matchmaker Tang said with a smile, waving her handkerchief, "Don't worry, don't worry. Come in and have a drink of water first, and then we can talk slowly."
After entering, Song Yuehua drank a sip of tea and asked, "Aunt, Liu Xue and I have a master-disciple relationship. It is reasonable for me to inquire about this matter. Do you think it is right?"
"Once a teacher, always a father. It's most appropriate for you to come and inquire." Matchmaker Tang said with a smile.
This time, the matchmaker Tang was introducing was for the son of Huang Dayong's father-in-law, who was 21 years old and four years older than Liu Xue.
I was originally in contact with people before the drought, but then I encountered a three-year drought and was trapped for three whole years.
When they entered the compound, they saw Liu Xue, who was pretty and capable, and she really caught their eye.
There are four people in the family. In addition to the eldest daughter who married into Huang Dayong's family, there is also a third daughter who is 16 years old this year. She is the second son who is the same as Liu Xue's. The family has one acre of land and he is also a hard-working man.
After hearing this, Song Yuehua asked, "21 years old, so he was 17 before the drought. Generally, men start looking for a date at the age of 16. He hasn't found anyone in the past two years. It seems that he has a lot of thoughts."
Matchmaker Tang said helplessly, "Young people are always full of pride."
As for whether it was arrogance, Song Yuehua didn't say anything, she just said, "Let's not talk about any skills, just say that the family has only one acre of land, and the family conditions are average, so the adults don't plan carefully."
"During the three years of drought, so many craftsmen came to the village. Whenever the family had an idea, Grandpa Zhou could mediate. I don't know if the adults were short-sighted or just lazy."
"This..." Matchmaker Tang was at a loss for words.
Song Yuehua added, "Huang Dayong's family are all powerful people. His wife doesn't have a very good temper, but she is always involved in gossip in the village. Maybe she was not well disciplined when she was at her parents' home."
Matchmaker Tang was suddenly speechless.
Having said that, Song Yuehua stopped talking and took Matchmaker Tang's hand, smiling and saying, "Aunt Tang, please help me get rid of this relative from the Huang family."
"As for Liu Xue's matchmaking, I'll have to trouble you. Now that she has agreed, you can't let her down. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, but you have to help me find a very good young man, with good character, a good family, ambition and not lazy, and a handsome appearance."
After hearing this, Matchmaker Tang was a little confused, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out?"
Song Yuehua said, "I can't let Liu Xue belittle herself. She is so good, of course she deserves a good man."
