Chapter 1183: One Litter, Eight Treasures
When Guo Dong said this, there was truly affection for the old Song family.
After all, if her clients found out that this medicine was also fed to pigs... it's over, it's over; she didn't even dare to imagine how her reputation would collapse.
Although she was confident that people would still buy it after it collapsed, the perception would be different.
However, before Song Tan could make a decision, she saw several young people running over from the mountain, panting; it was Sister Yanran and the other two.
"Auntie, I saw you posted on WeChat Moments!"
"Is the pig in heat?!"
The three of them looked excited and very expectant.
—But there's nothing to be expectant about a pig being in heat; this expression of yours really leaves everyone speechless.
The next moment, they saw Tang Xiaodong step forward directly:
"Auntie, there's no need to go through the trouble of finding a stud pig to mate; nowadays, we directly buy frozen sperm."
Grandpa Qi Lin had already taken out his phone: "Which breed do you want? I have contact information for all of them here."
Sister Yanran had become much fairer in the winter, looking delicate and gentle, as if she wouldn't even speak loudly.
But at this moment, she took out her tablet seriously and solemnly, showing Until Wu Lan photos of various pig breeds one by one:
"Generally speaking, if you choose a breed for a stud pig, we look at the size. If the sow is too small and the boar is too large, it's prone to dystocia."
"But our family's big white pig has grown too large, so basically there's no pressure regarding the breed; we just look at the focus..."
On that tablet, black-haired, white-haired, red-haired, and black-and-white-haired pigs... picture after picture dazzled Until Wu Lan, making her subconsciously ignore the frozen sperm mentioned earlier and instead ask:
"How do you choose this?"
Sister Yanran paused, then flipped back to the first photo.
That was a reddish-brown haired pig.
"I suggest choosing a Du Luoke pig; as a sire, the piglets born to the sow will have strong adaptability, and the lean meat rate is also very high."
"Most importantly, don't look at its reddish-brown hair; when mated with our big white pig, the piglets born will all be white..."
"Oh, oh, oh..."
Until Wu Lan didn't quite understand; black pigs are also white after the skin is scraped off, so why emphasize this red-haired pig?
But looking so strong, it should indeed be very good as a stud pig!
She immediately made the decision:
"We want this foreign pig!"
"Where is it? If it has to be transported from thousands of miles away, that won't do; it'll have to be raised for a long time."
Song Tan was helpless.
"Mom, didn't you hear what they just said? Frozen sperm. It means the pig doesn't have to come over; it just needs to be sent by express delivery."
"What?"
Until Wu Lan was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and at this moment, she didn't know what to say.
"This, is mating a pig nowadays so... is it like this?"
This kind of high-end, cutting-edge method clearly challenged a farmer who had only known old-fashioned ways of raising pigs all her life, but when she thought about it again, people on Douyin have frozen sperm, so why can't pigs have it?
It's just that...
"Is this expensive?"
She vaguely remembered when raising cows, Professor Song explained that there was some kind of frozen bull sperm sold for 660,000...
Cows have become so expensive, wouldn't this pig also be very expensive?
Sister Yanran smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, Auntie! The Du Luoke pig is currently the most common sire in our country; it's very cheap, I'll contact someone right now."
Lu Chuan, however, followed up and silently looked at the pictures for a few moments, then suddenly enlarged the picture to look at it carefully:
"This is a Du Luoke pig?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Song Tan knew a little habit of his—whatever he studies, he must study it thoroughly. He'll definitely write it in his book later; it's truly not wasting a bit of new knowledge.
"Are you writing about pigs?"
"No." Lu Chuan shook his head, then flipped through his reader group: "I always feel this pig looks very familiar..."
After searching for a while, he finally found that record.
"That... if you don't mind going to neighboring Huacheng to pick it up, this pig can be given to you for free as long as it's not slaughtered."
He posted a picture.
Inside, a Du Luoke boar was seen, sturdy and looking silly.
With a reddish-brown coat, the head and tail showing golden hues, sleek and shiny, clearly raised with great care, even its physique looked sturdier than the picture.
Ah, this...
Everyone paused, and even Grandpa Qi Lin leaned over to take a close look: "Who raised this? It's raised really well."
Huacheng isn't far; if it's in the city, it would take two hours to drive there.
Lu Chuan paused: "A reader of mine raised it; someone gave it to him back then, saying it was a golden-blooded small fragrant pig, and its hair would turn pure gold when it grew up."
The reader was also quite wealthy, living in a large villa, so he didn't mind raising one for fun.
As a result, the pig came back and could eat, poop, run, and sleep, rooting in the lawn and overturning flower beds in the yard...
But because it was too cute and smart, the family couldn't bear to throw it away...
Then things went wrong.
First, this golden bloodline can really grow!
Second, the hair color not only didn't turn pure gold, but instead became increasingly reddish-brown.
Eating more and more, growing bigger and bigger. From a small fragrant pig to a medium fragrant pig, and now to a giant pig...
Everyone gave up on the hope of it being fragrant all over and golden all over, only praying for it not to grow anymore.
But now, this pig is already a full year old and an adult!
In the photo Lu Chuan showed, there was even one wearing a birthday hat!
It's just that it's too big, really too big!
Looking through the chat history, the reader complained in the group that he really couldn't raise it anymore.
It's not because it eats too much or he can't afford to raise it, but because he lives in a self-built villa, and the elderly take the pig out for a walk, and they've been targeted twice in a row.
Once, the other party wanted to take the pig and run, knocking the person directly onto the roadside flower bed; fortunately, they weren't hurt.
Another time, they climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, attempting to take the pig away.
The elderly heard the noise and came out, nearly causing another accident.
【I can't take it anymore.】
【I really have feelings for Xiangxiang.】
【But it really won't work; it's too strong, it looks very delicious! But the first two times were lucky; if they really run into someone ruthless...】
【I can't put them both in danger for Xiangxiang's sake; this place is too remote, and I don't live here alone usually. The two old people love planting vegetables, love farming, and love interacting with neighbors, so that's why they are here...】
Song Tan looked at the chat history, then looked at the time—
"Posted the day before yesterday, it shouldn't have been sent away yet, right?"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Lu Chuan recalled: "He has been posting about adoption for this pig for a long time."
But in many places, they promised well verbally, but when he proposed that the pig could not be slaughtered, or buried after accidental death, plus some liquidated damages, the other party wouldn't be happy.
"I thought his pig was raised very well; if you always need a stud pig, perhaps you can try bringing it back."
Thinking about it, he added:
"If the cost of feeding the pig is too high, then choose frozen sperm."
And at this moment, Sister Yanran and the other two were already staring at those photos and videos, sighing constantly.
"Raised really well!"
"This physique is a bit too big, what do they feed it every day?"
"It wouldn't be a loss to bring it back as a stud pig! Because raising a pig costs only one or two thousand yuan a year for food. But now frozen sperm is also very cheap and convenient, so it's hard to say which is better."
"Why do I feel it still has muscles?"
Until Wu Lan was a bit tempted on the side.
Well, her thinking was very simple: getting such a big pig for free, it should mate many times a year...
The food the pig eats doesn't count as expensive for a year, and when the pig pen is moved to the river beach, there will be more.
If there is a stud pig at home, it should be more cost-effective than this frozen sperm over time, right? It can even be lent out!
She didn't know the market, just turned to look at Sister Yanran and the others.
In the end, Song Tan made the decision:
"Okay! Bring it back!"
Until Wu Lan breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and hurriedly said: "Then hurry up! It'll have to adapt for two days after bringing it back."
Lu Chuan responded: "Wait a moment, I'll contact him first."
And Song Tan looked at him curiously: "Are you going with me? If you go, will you have to reveal your identity?"
Lu Chuan nodded: "I'll go with you. The reader trusts me, I have to show my face to put him at ease. Furthermore, my appearance isn't really a secret; the website has released pictures."
It's just that the picture was taken when he first became famous; he was still very green, and his mental state, skin, and various conditions were not as good as they are now.
Plus, after the magical work of the photo editor, it didn't look as much like him.
And on the reader's side, receiving the private message from Lu Chuan, he was silent.
What to do? The emotions were complex for a moment, and he couldn't digest them.
He met the author he liked; maybe he could even get a photo and autograph, which was quite exciting.
The annoying thing he complained about in the group was kept in mind by the author, who now gave a solution and agreed to sign a contract swearing not to slaughter it... woo woo woo, the fairy-like good author has him in mind!
Even more excited!
Then the long-standing problem of Xiangxiang's placement was also solved, and naturally, he felt very relieved and surprised.
But looking at the silly eyes Xiangxiang was looking at him with, and thinking about its thoughtful and gentle performance on weekdays...
"Baby!"
The reader cried out: "Dad let you down!"
The old mother at home also realized something, and at this moment, she was conflicted and hesitant: "Do you really want to send it away?"
"Didn't you install that surveillance for the house? Now the price of pigs is also cheap, so no one should come to steal it."
"At worst, I'll take Xiangxiang to crowded places in the future, not giving them a chance to snatch it..."
Compared to the son, the original owner, the old parents had raised Xiangxiang the longest. Unfortunately, this pig is now several hundred jin, and they can't even pull it when it runs.
Although Xiangxiang is very well-behaved and won't run, like last time, if someone wants to use a rope to catch it, it will suddenly charge around.
The old mother thought of this and sat down sadly, unable to speak.
The son also sighed.
"Better safe than sorry."
"If you go to a crowded place, the other party might not dare to take action, but what if Xiangxiang suddenly charges and hurts someone? Wouldn't that be a bigger problem?"
This won't work, that won't work. The mother said carefully:
"Then is the family you found for Xiangxiang a good one? It's so strong, it must be very delicious. What if it gets eaten by someone later?"
"If this were in the past, in the countryside, I wouldn't let you raise this; it would definitely have to be eaten as meat."
The son confirmed: "Mom, don't worry. They are willing to sign an agreement with me, and they have several pigs at home! Buying Xiangxiang is to let it be a stud pig, they will raise it well."
"One drop* ten drops of blood, is it a bit harmful to the body?" The old mother spoke incoherently, her eyes full of reluctance.
Son:...
"Mom, be rational! It's still a bachelor."
"And if they really didn't want anything from it, why would they raise it? If someone like that wanted to take Xiangxiang away, I wouldn't agree either."
"And look!"
The son brought his phone over: "Look at the environment of this family, look at this grassland, look at this river beach. And the newly built idle pig pen..."
"Xiangxiang will definitely be happier here than being penned in our small house! How long has it been since it went for a walk? The ground in the yard is about to be overturned."
Speaking of this, the old mother stood up again:
"Almost forgot, I came into the house to get a shovel to shovel its poop."
"Sigh, now I don't dare to take it out; it was so good to poop in the septic tank next to the pig farm in the north before. Now this pile of poop has to fill a garbage bag... day by day, just throwing away garbage."
The son listened silently, then lowered his head to confirm the message again, unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiangxiang is quite good, it's just really, it's too hard to serve!
Dad's little piglet!
It's all my fault for not having the ability to pack a farm for you!
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu."
"Hmm, I'm here."
Lu Chuan was driving, responding helplessly to Song Tan's call: "Aren't you just waiting for this answer from me? Are you satisfied?"
"Be content, little pig. Xiao Lu sounds so good!" Song Tan stretched her legs lazily.
"Why do I have another nickname?" Lu Chuan was curious: Is this a skill possessed by girls in love?
Or does every boy have a unique name in front of his girlfriend?
But—
"This can't be blamed on me."
Song Tan looked serious, holding back her laughter: "Didn't you look carefully when my mom was flipping through the pictures just now?"
"There's a type of pig, national treasure color, called the Lu Chuan pig!"
This time, Lu Chuan was truly speechless.
After a while, he said helplessly: "Let me see."
Song Tan held back her laughter, holding it in until she was hemming and hawing, and only after a long time did she find the picture and hand it to him; there was a simple line of introduction above it that made Lu Chuan feel even more speechless:
"Still the maternal line?"
"Hmm... cough, hahahahaha Lu little pig!"
"One litter, eight treasures!"
She laughed so happily, the car filled with joy and relaxation.
This world only had the two of them.
No need to worry about the innocent and ignorant Qiao Qiao being taught wrong, no need to worry about parents thinking she's not steady, and even less need to make relatives or employees think she's unreliable.
And Lu Chuan also forgot his name at this moment, just silently grabbing her hand.
Because he knew that Song Tan like this, not a sister, not a daughter, not a boss...
Will only appear in front of him. ===== CHAPTER 1184 =====
