Pig Killer

Chapter 169

"Then sell it somewhere else. How can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?" Shen Hui'e looked at the Wang couple with clear eyes and said briskly, "Is this bacon and sausage made in the neighboring county?"

"Yes! But not much." Wang Su thought about it carefully and said to her.

"Things are valuable because they are rare, so good things are easy to sell." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "The advantage of this bacon is that it can be stored for a long time."

"Okay! Now we are more confident." Wang Su looked at her excitedly and said.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Shen Hui'e said to them with gentle eyes.

"We'll see you off." Wang Su and Qi saw her off.

Not all pigs are pickled and made into bacon and sausages. Some pig farmers raise too many pigs at home and kill one or two to spread the risk. The rest will be killed after the national mourning period.

So Shen Hui'e doesn't have to worry about killing the pigs now and can just push them back.

After eating the steamed buns and drinking the corn porridge, Shen Hui'e looked at Xiao Douzi and the others who were cleaning up the dishes and said, "Sit down, sit down, I have something to tell you."

"What does mother want to say?" Li Nu looked at her with his bright eyes and asked.

"I went to collect pigs today and went to Brother Wang's house first to ask them how the bacon tasted and whether the meat was good." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"Is it okay?" asked the big tiger impatiently.

"Good! It has a unique flavor and the fragrance of wood." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile in her eyes.

"It's delicious!" said the raccoon happily, "It can be sold."

"Yes! The wine shop has come to negotiate the purchase of bacon and sausage." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes emitting a sparkling light and said, "The price is very high."

"That's good! I'll feel at ease once I get the money in my hands." The big tiger looked at them with his black eyes and said.

"The wine shops and restaurants have been closed for three months, and we are short of food." The raccoon slave looked at them with eyes like black grapes and said, "In the middle of winter, there is a shortage of food, except for radishes and cabbages. I am about to throw up after eating them for three months."

"I'm worried?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep eyes and said, "I'm worried that it won't sell well."

"There's nothing to worry about. Are you still worried about selling it?" Da Chong said to her with his eyes wide open.

"We have no problem selling it, we're just worried we won't get the price." Shen Hui'e looked at them deeply and said.

"How is that possible? Didn't mother say that things are valuable because they are rare?" The big tiger asked her with innocent eyes full of confusion.

"But now there are many pig farmers making sausages and bacon. They are not rare, on the contrary, they are relatively abundant. Low grain prices hurt farmers, which is why in a good year, the price of grain has fallen instead of rising." Shen Hui'e kindly reminded them, "I believe that the owners of the wine shops and restaurants in the county have almost taken all the bacon from the pig farmers." She looked at them with a raised eyebrow and asked, "What will they do?"

"What else can we do? First we have to lower the price!" Da Chong said without thinking.

"How to press it?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with interest and asked.

"It's just like when we sell pork, people bargain with us!" Da Chong said, looking at her with his big, innocent eyes.

"This is just the lowest level of bargaining." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and charming eyes and said, "The pig farmers are too loose. They can just take the price they bargained with one pig farmer and go to another pig farmer to negotiate, and they can even lower the price."

"Ah!" The raccoon looked at her with eyes as round as black grapes and said, "You can still do this!"

"Compare prices from three different stores!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her bright dark eyes.

"Mother, mother, what should we do?" the big tiger asked anxiously, grabbing her arm.

"Think about what you would do if this happened to you first?" Shen Hui'e asked him with her eyes as gentle as jade.

"Me?" The big insect pointed at himself, and his black pupils turned around. "We are all pig farmers in the same village. If we poke it, it will be broken." The black pupils lit up instantly. "Let's hold the price together and don't let them lower it!"

Shen Hui'e nodded with satisfaction, "That's a good idea." She raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "But you are talking about one village, what if it is another village! Can you convince the villagers to join in?"

"Well..." Da Chong looked at her hesitantly and said, "Isn't it a good thing not to lower the price?"

"When there are many people, there will be many disputes. Everyone has his own little plans and calculations." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "I can beat their so-called promises with very little benefit."

"What will mother do?" asked Li Nu nervously, grabbing her arm.

"As for me! I will win over the pig farmers, especially those who are in urgent need of money, and give them a high price, then declare it to be a low price to the outside world. As long as I open the door, I will make up some rumors to cause panic. The pig farmers will become a mob, a group of scattered sand, and a defeated army." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a gleam in her eyes.

Da Chong and the others were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and it took them a long time to close them.

"Isn't this a betrayal of other pig farmers?" The tiger slammed the wooden table angrily and said, "In the countryside, people will stab you in the back." He said angrily, "Aren't you afraid of being like the grain store owner?"

"Little guy, most people are only concerned about immediate benefits, and they don't consider long-term things!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her sparkling eyes and said, "There is a patient at home who needs life-saving money. The owner of the wine shop offered a high price, but you still won't sell it. He claims it's a low price and very little profit, trying to win them over."

"Everyone is having a hard time this year, and there is not much surplus food at home." The problems raised by Shen Hui'e are all difficult and realistic.

"But there is no surplus food in the grain store now!" The tiger blinked and thought for a while and said, "At least we can eat this bacon ourselves."

Shen Hui'e raised her lips and said, "That's true. It depends on how the pig farmers choose!"

"If it were my mother, how would she let the pig farmer persevere?" Li Nu said cleverly, looking at his mother with watery eyes.

"Let's be frank and let the farmers tell us about their current difficulties. Let's work together to find a solution. Let's work together!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Or selling to other counties requires organization. There are too many unknowns. For them who have never traveled far, the risk is too great."

"You can ask uncle to help you with this." Da Chong looked at her with sparkling eyes and said.

"Smart guy." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "This is just your idea." She smiled and said, "I have already reminded Wang Su and the others, let's see what they do!" Pointing to her own eyes, she said, "Look carefully, look carefully. Everyone has different ideas, and everyone looks at the problem from their own standpoint."

"Oh!" The big bug nodded obediently, tilted his head and blinked, "A bystander sees more clearly."

"Yes! Because there are no interests involved, we can look at the problem impartially and objectively." Shen Hui'e looked at them gently with crystal clear eyes.

"Isn't this easy?" Li Nu looked at her with wet eyes and said.

"It's not easy. It's very difficult." Shen Hui'e pointed her index finger at the tip of her upturned nose and said, "Because people's hearts are biased." She grabbed her hand and placed it on her heart. "Did you hear the sound?"

"I heard it." Li Nu nodded and said, "It's the same as the pulse."

"This is the heart! See how it's not in the center!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "Everyone has their own relatives and friends."

"Second sister, are you home?" Shen Changsheng shouted towards the house from the gate.

"It's my uncle." Da Chong jumped off the bed and went out in his straw sandals.

"You kid, it's so cold outside!" Shen Hui'e stood up and chased after him.

"I'm wearing rabbit skin socks!" Da Chong said with a smile, looking at Shen Changsheng at the gate of the courtyard and said, "Uncle!" and bowed.

"Where is your mother?" Shen Changsheng asked her with his dark eyes.

"I'm here!" Shen Hui'e walked over and said.

"Come and help me unload the things." Shen Changsheng looked straight at her and said.

"Oh!" Shen Hui'e nodded hurriedly. When she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Shen Penglai standing in front of the carriage. "Third brother is here too." Her black eyes flickered. What was in this carriage? It made the third brother dare not leave the carriage.

"You guys watch over the carriage while my third brother and I move the boxes." Shen Changsheng instructed.

The Shen brothers moved the boxes, which were as big as two camphorwood boxes, into the main room in two trips.

"Uncle, what's in it? You two look very tired." Da Chong asked curiously.

"Flour!" Shen Changsheng said in a low voice.

"What?" The big bug looked at them in shock.

"Where did you get it?" Shen Hui'e looked at them nervously and said, "There is no food in the grain store in the city right now."

"Of course it's not our county. It's too small to store much food." Shen Changsheng smiled mysteriously at them and said, "Guess where it was obtained?"

"Oh! Uncle, please stop keeping us in suspense." Li Nu grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Let's sit down and talk." Shen Hui'e pointed at the kang, then took off her shoes and got on it.

Shen Changsheng leaned forward and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at them with a smile in his dark eyes and said, "I got it from Hezhong Prefecture."

"Hezhong Prefecture is still big, it's not comparable to our small county." Shen Hui'e nodded in understanding, "They have obvious advantages." She looked at him with concern and said, "They must have spent a lot of money!"

"Well! Food prices have skyrocketed." Shen Changsheng looked at them deeply and said.

"The imperial court doesn't care about this? If you continue like this, aren't you afraid of something happening?" Shen Hui'e said angrily with her deep and bottomless eyes.

"We don't know about that." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his dark eyes and shook his head slightly.

"That's right! You don't have to give food to the Huang family, they've bought it." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said, "Just eat the food yourself."
