Chapter 66 Going to the countryside to collect pigs and set up a new business?

The following days were peaceful and fulfilling.

Wei Hong went to work every day, practiced martial arts and made skins, occasionally studied "Hundred Herbs and Pharmacy", or went to meet a few close friends to drink tea and listen to music. His life was very comfortable.

As for Zhuji Meat Shop, there have been many changes!

Since the second-in-command Tan Fei took over the control of the meat shop, Zhu Sihai and the third-in-command Zhao Mingjie have been sick and have not appeared again.

Some people say that they want to set up a new business!

Some people say that they have found a new backer!

Wei Hong was too lazy to pay attention to this, and just buried his head in work every day.

Tan Fei was a serious person. After he came to power, he neither suppressed anyone nor retaliated against the knifemen of the big in-command faction. He just made some adjustments to the daily work.

Now Wei Hong and others have to slaughter pigs and sheep before dawn every day. After breakfast, they have to follow Tan Fei to collect pigs outside the city, and the workload has increased a lot.

Early in the morning

Tan Fei personally led the team out of the city.

Wei Hong, Li Daniu and more than ten other people each pushed a wheelbarrow, lined up in a long line, and walked on the muddy and winding mountain road.

"Damn it!" Li Daniu couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "We are not responsible for collecting pigs on weekdays. Now we have to work outside in the wind, sun and rain every day. Several pairs of shoes have been worn out. Even the time for practicing martial arts has been reduced a lot. It's really unlucky!"

"The second-in-command has just taken power. How dare he leave us in the shop? Naturally, he has to bring us out and keep an eye on us personally. Those who stay in the shop to sell meat are all trusted by him." Wei Hong laughed dumbly and didn't complain too much.

He is a man who can endure hardships!

Moreover, his martial arts strength is increasing day by day, so walking on some mountain roads is not tiring.

"It's okay to be a little tired." Li Daniu couldn't help but stammered: "It's just that running around outside is a little unsafe after all. Who knows what ghosts you will encounter..."

Wei Hong naturally understood what he meant.

What he was worried about were dangers such as bandits, strange things, and wild beasts.

These days, bandits are rampant and chaotic, and there is no safety in the city.

"Don't think too much." Wei Hong comforted him carelessly: "Pigs are only collected within a few dozen miles of Shendu. What bandits dare to run wild here? Erdangtou has been running around all year round and nothing has happened. Our situation is much better than the turbulent places in other states. Be content!"

"That's right!" Li Daniu couldn't help complaining: "But Erdangtou is also a fool. He can just go to the water and land docks to find the boat gang to buy pigs. Why go to the mountain villages to buy pigs?"

"The boat gang transports pigs from other states all the way, so the price is naturally much more expensive. How can it be more cost-effective to buy pigs by yourself?" Wei Hong chatted casually.

But there was no resistance in his heart.

It's good to go out for a walk every day, which is better than staying in the city all day.

After a hard climb, everyone finally arrived at the first destination along the rugged mountain road.

This is a village hidden in the mountains. A stream flows down from the mountains. There are hundreds of yellow mud and thatched houses built on the hillsides on both sides. Many farmers are working in the fields at the foot of the mountain. There are also children laughing and playing on the village roads.

If you ignore the pale and thin appearance of these villagers.

I am afraid Wei Hong will really praise it as a paradise.

"Hey!" As soon as everyone entered the village, a goat-bearded old man in sackcloth clothes came up to greet them, and said with a happy face: "Tan Dangtou, I haven't seen you for a while, come in and have some tea first!"

"No need." Tan Fei waved his hand and said: "We have to go to other villages later, your Zhangjia Village is just the first stop, please hurry up, village chief!"

"Hey, hey, hey, good!" The old man in sackcloth clothes hurriedly called around: "You filthy guys have heard it, right? Who has pigs to sell, quickly take Tan Dangtou to take a look, so as not to waste the noble man's time."

"Tan Dangtou, please go to my house first, my pigs are fat!"

"Let's go to my house first, my pigs have been raised for half a year!"

The villagers all gathered around when they saw this.

Each of them was full of flattery and expectation.

In this era of backward productivity, livestock raised with leftovers and pig grass can be said to be the biggest source of income for farmers. Farmers are reluctant to eat them at home, so they naturally hope to sell them at a good price.

Tan Fei walked around the pig pens of each family with ease.

While negotiating the price with the villagers, he asked people to start loading pigs.

Wei Hong took a bamboo pig cage from the wheelbarrow, endured the stench and walked into the pig pen. With the cooperation of Li Daniu, he quickly loaded a pig into the cage.

The villagers brought out a scale and weighed it again and again before deciding the weight.

"147 catties, 18 coins per catty, total price 2 taels 6 coins 46 coins." Tan Fei said without raising his head: "Ergou's, get the money!"

"Thank you, Mr. Tan!"

A farmer immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Wei Hong couldn't help but silently calculate the account in his heart.

The butchers sell pork by part, and the price is about 38 to 43 wen per jin.

But the live pigs in the village can only be sold for about 18 wen, which is more than double the price. No wonder Tan Fei came all the way here to buy pigs.

A pig is raised for more than half a year and only sells for more than two taels. The farmers are probably having a hard time.

"It is not popular to raise castrated pigs in this world. If they are castrated before raising, the pork will have less fishy smell, and a pig can weigh 300 to 400 jin."

Wei Hong suddenly had an idea, should he raise pigs for profit?

With the information gap of castrated pigs, if he wants to raise pigs for money, he will definitely make a lot of money.

But after thinking about it seriously, he smiled and killed this unrealistic idea.

He is not short of money now. He doesn't have enough time to practice martial arts and kill pigs every day, so how can he have time to get involved in pig farming?

Once he starts raising pigs, the secret of castration will be impossible to keep.

What can Wei Hong use to form a monopoly? So he is too lazy to think about such a thankless job that doesn't make much money.

In a few months, he will enter the blood refining realm!

A lot of small forces are willing to ask him to be affiliated, and the silver will be delivered to the door automatically. Why bother?

Thinking of this!

Wei Hong gathered his mind and continued to weigh the pigs and load them.

It's good to get familiar with the process now. After all, if he sets up his own business in a few years, he may have to come out to collect pigs himself.

"Yes!"

Wei Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his forehead in annoyance.

How can you make more money by killing pigs for others than by killing pigs yourself?

If he sets up his own business, he can not only take care of all the pigs and sheep in the butcher shop, but also earn a lot of money. Why not?

At that time, he can recruit a group of butchers and implement the assembly line slaughtering mode!

He is responsible for bleeding, and his subordinates are responsible for cutting and cutting meat. Killing dozens of pigs a day is like playing, and the profit is at least seven or eight times more.

Isn't it wonderful?

"But opening a butcher shop is not easy. There are many things involved. It takes a long time to plan!" Wei Hong murmured in his heart.

Asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and rewards
