Chapter 832

~8 min read 1,511 words

Greenhouses cannot be built in a day or two.

Within the range of 15m wide and 100m long, not only does the land need to be cleared first, but they also need to prepare suitable thick steel frames.

This kind of greenhouse is not disposable, but is made as high as possible, with thermal insulation cotton added to the top layer, so it can be used every winter in the future.

The price is also a bit higher; the cost of such a shed is 60,000—and that's only for two mu of land.

Song Tan couldn't help but click her tongue—no wonder fewer and fewer people are engaged in agriculture now; for those large agricultural households, just building this shed every year is a significant expense.

Not to mention the rising labor costs and the increasingly unsatisfactory weather...

In short, considering the time issue, the stingy Song Tan rarely added 5,000 yuan, the requirement being as soon as possible!

It's rare to encounter such a good client, and after asking around, the Old Song family has contracted several hundred mu of land in the village. The people installing the greenhouse rarely opened up this Yuncheng market, and at this moment, they did a very thorough job—

No other meaning, just that if they do it on a large scale next year, don't forget them!

After going back and forth, the villagers went to help, and soon the frame began to take shape.

"And those that were adopted, how pitiful! How can it be! The body hasn't been raised well yet, and you're already worrying about selling puppies. You're quite cruel."

"How can you ask that?" Sun Ge thought the young man was really ignorant:

"What do you mean by 3,000 each, explain it clearly to me."

Master Jiang is now eating until he is ruddy and increasingly round; he has his own appeal when talking about anything to eat. Wu Lan didn't consider it at all and nodded quickly:

"If you think this one is too hard to chew, take a few out of the cellar later. I'll cut them into thin slices and fry them; that's crispy, crunchy, and sweet, delicious."

Oh my!

"Only after being dried like this can it be considered a success; if you tie the bag well later, it will be fine for a year."

Sun Ge raised his eyebrows: "What are you saying? Da Wang is loyal to us and didn't ask you for money, so why are you selling his children?"

"This Da Wang has been raised for half a year, and he has eaten as much as a pig."

"Oh right, pack five jin first and mail it out this afternoon."

Wu Lan:......

No, no, no!

As for the two little wild boars... sigh, this kind of pig that doesn't cost money has no advantages, and it grows too slowly. Now it looks like it's only about 200 jin, so it probably can't be slaughtered this winter!

However, Song Tan is a typical person who doesn't care after spending money. After all, there are so many capable people in the family, so she doesn't need to worry about that.

"Okay!"

But slaughtering a pig is not that fast.

When there's nothing to do, feed them some vegetable trimmings; every day, I feel heartbroken and frown when I fish out a big bone from the dog's food, but now I'm even taking the initiative to feed them sweet potatoes...

Wu Lan:......

The two white pigs grow slower, but the meat looks firm, and it must be more fragrant to eat.

Sun Ge happily called Qiao Qiao: "You go to the cellar and see if there are any sweet potatoes that weren't picked out and went bad? If there are, pick them out, peel them, and feed them to Da Wang."

"And Da Bao and the others, haven't they been running around the mountains recently? Tell them, don't catch wild chickens, and wild rabbits can't be caught either! If there's nothing to do, catch two more wild boars..."

Ah, thinking of this, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone—before mailing the sweet potatoes over, the other party even sent her a thank-you message.

It was Qiao Qiao who was suddenly puzzled: "Eh? What do you mean by only spending 3,000 yuan in total? Didn't little Song Tan say that 3,000 for one was selling at a loss?"

Everyone:...... Why did little Song Tan tell him all about that, hey!

Sun Ge thought for a while, and finally sighed: "If it really doesn't work, take them to be neutered! Otherwise, it's quite hard to keep giving birth to puppies."

The people on the mountain were stunned, and then laughed.

"They have done us a favor, so we should take the initiative to pay a New Year's call according to reason—but you young people don't talk about that, Tan Tan, you should also take the initiative to ask, right?"

Wu Lan turned her head, serious: "Qiao Qiao, change Da Wang's name later, call him Zhong Wuyan."

Song Tan slowly turned her head and called her by her full name:

However, the dried sweet potatoes in front of her are also quite good. When relatives come to the house for the New Year, grab a plate of this and put it on the table, it's enough to kill time.

Sun Ge also couldn't help but roll his eyes at her: "What Zhong Wuyan, Xia Yingchun, look at our village, whose dog eats such a big pot of meat bones a day?"

"That's really hard!" She stared at the dried sweet potatoes in her hand: "It's going to pull my teeth out."

She suppressed a laugh: "It's okay, little Song Tan is still looking for partners for them. When they give birth to puppies later, we'll sell his children to get our money back."

The other party didn't even mention medical expenses after being hospitalized, which clearly shows that they don't like such social interactions. Moreover, the short chats over these few months can more or less figure out the other party's concise style.

Master Jiang was happy: "When it was only dried for two days before, it was soft and chewy. I asked you to come and eat it, but you said you were busy."

The three white pigs in the family are growing rapidly now, looking like they are 300 or 400 jin. Sun Ge will never mention slaughtering until the twelfth lunar month.

Don't rich people who live in cities now like this kind of simple rural style? And when slaughtering a pig, there are many people, and it's lively, so no one feels awkward; instead, it's more comfortable than paying a formal New Year's call and sitting together solemnly.

"Tan Tan, they saved someone and were hospitalized themselves without saying anything. Do you want to ask if they are coming to our house for the New Year?"

Wu Lan thought, does this still need to be asked?

Wu Lan has to admit this: raising dogs, that can't be calculated economically; once raised, there's only a loss.

"And our family's few treasures? You go and ask around the ten miles and eight villages, whose dog is so smart and well-behaved? We only spent 3,000 yuan to buy them, and you still want to sell the puppies... are you that short of money?"

Hey, the family's economy is better, and my mom's speech is so full of humanistic care!

"Wu Lan!"

No need to ask where to mail it to; Zhang Yanping thought for a while:

Sun Ge suggested: "You ask about the other party's meaning first. If they are willing to let us pay a New Year's call, I will leave two more big pig legs for the New Year."

And that white one is a sow; I must have her give birth to another litter next year.

However, since everyone in the family said so, Wu Lan pondered slightly: "Otherwise, I won't mention the New Year's matter, just ask if they are willing to come over and eat our family's slaughtered pig dish?"

Now that the family's life is prosperous, everyone didn't deliberately avoid the fact that Song Tan was once injured, and they spoke very frankly.

She clapped her hands and asked Zhang Yanping: "Are the packaging bags ready? 200 grams per bag, seal them first, and call Qiao Qiao to sell them."

She is quite daring to think, and at this moment, she spoke very generously: "I don't pick big or small."

"Okay!"

The white pigs and wild boars are mixed, and the piglets born should grow meat and be fragrant, and we can save a lot of money on buying piglets...

Forget it, let's talk about it next year.

At this moment, she was at the entrance of the factory, reached out and pinched a piece of dried sweet potato. It took a long time to tear off a piece with effort, chewed it in her mouth for a long time, and finally tasted the sweetness that slowly permeated.
