Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Anyway, they raise animals all year round at their farm, so it's not a problem if it's cold in winter. Liu's father and his family had already thought about it. When conditions at home get better, in the second half of autumn, they will add a fire wall to each small compartment in the farm. They will light the fire wall in winter and try to maintain a more constant temperature.

At that time, we will build some partitions on top of the farm and grow some vegetables in the winter.

If they can’t finish eating it themselves, they can take it to the city and sell it for money.

Liu Caixia shook her head, thinking far away, and retracted her thoughts: "Fourth Brother Tian, ​​let's make a deal. For our peace of mind, I will let the boy at home write a contract, and both of us will have a guarantee."

The two signed a one-year contract, and within that year, they would buy any chicks that Tian Sige brought in for five cents each, regardless of whether they were his own or those he had brought in.

Chicks are not available for sale all the time.

Anyway, since this business has been given to Tian Laosi, he won’t have to worry about other things.

Tian Laosi got this benefit, so naturally he wanted to help others get things done, so when he left, he invited Liu Hao, "Haozi, if you have time, come back to the village with me now, settle down earlier, and feel at ease earlier."

Liu Hao looked at Liu Caixia; "Sister Caixia, there are still six little rabbits in the cage. You feed them here. Brother Tian Si and I will go to the village and ask about the town over there. I have already contacted several villages in this town. I have long wanted to go further to understand the situation. Now that Brother Tian Si is leading the way, I will go. If it is too late, I will come back tomorrow. The children will stay here for one night, and I will take them back when I return to the village tomorrow."

"Okay, go ahead. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Liu Hao drove the ox cart with Tian Laosi on board, and headed towards the east of the city under Tian Laosi's guidance.

The ox cart traveled for more than an hour and, after going around a hill, saw some neatly arranged houses in the distance, as well as some fields, with some people still working in the fields.

Tian Laosi: "Haozi, we have arrived at Wuqing Village. I will take you to see the households that raise sows. Our village is backed by a mountain, and many villagers raise pigs. People from other villages in the town come to our village to catch piglets."

"Thank you, Fourth Brother Tian."

"It's okay. Thanks to you, I followed you back on the ox cart. I'm not tired at all."

Tian Laosi followed Liu Hao into the village in a bullock cart. The children playing at the entrance of the village all looked over at them. Their village also had a bullock cart, which belonged to the village chief's family. No other family had one. Seeing Tian Laosi sitting on the bullock cart, a little boy stood up and called out, "Fourth Uncle..."

"Tiedan, Fourth Uncle is busy, you can play by yourself!"

"Oh fine."

The little boy was very obedient. After watching for a while, they went back to playing in the mud.

"That's my eldest brother's youngest son."

Tian Laosi explained to Liu Hao: "Let's stop at the open space over here. There is a sow over there on the other side of this path. Her belly is very big now. I think she can give birth to a lot of piglets."

"Row"

Liu Hao tied the cow to a stone on the side of the road, followed Tian Laosi across a gravel road, and came to the fenced courtyard wall, "Is Brother Gao home?"

Seeing no response from inside, Tian Lao Si asked again: "Is Brother Gao home?"

The door inside was not closed, so there must be someone at home, probably working in the vegetable garden in the backyard. Sure enough, after a while, a woman in her fifties came out, accompanied by a younger woman with a plump face.

"Tian Laosi, Lao Gao has gone to the field. What do you want from him?"

"Aunt Gao, I came to ask about the piglets. When will Brother Gao be back?"

"I guess I won't be back until later. Tell me what you want to say. Do you want to order some piglets? Did you know that your old Tian has already ordered two piglets?"

"It's not me, it's not me, Aunt Gao, it's my brother. He's from Xiushui Village in Kaoshui Town. He came with me today just to ask if there are any piglets left at my house. Can I leave some for them?"

Aunt Gao didn't look happy when she heard him say that. Every year, piglets in their village can be sold, and some people can't buy them even if they want to. Otherwise, there are two more sows in the village this year. It's also because this year is a good year. Even if the piglets can't be sold, they can still sell them for money after keeping them for a few months. It's always a good deal.

"Tian Si, although we have a lot more people raising sows this year, our family has already decided to give away eight piglets. We can only give away eight if more than this number is born. I can't guarantee the previous number. You know what might happen if only six piglets are born in this litter, or even less. There is no fixed number for this."

"Okay, Aunt Gao, how about this? You can keep all the ones that are over eight, and don't reserve them for others. Do you think this is okay? Haozi, how about you give some deposit to Aunt Gao? Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye on them and will never let you suffer any loss."

Liu Hao naturally believed in Tian Laosi, after all, there were interests hanging in his balance.

"Okay, okay, Aunt Gao, I'll give you twenty wen as a deposit, and all the extra piglets in your family will be given to me. What's the price?"

"This brother is a real man. Tian Si also knows the price. It depends on the number of piglets ordered. Sometimes it will fluctuate. But don't worry, it's a long-term deal, not a one-time deal. Several nearby villages come to our village to buy piglets. We will give you the same price as you give them."

"Thank you, Aunt Gao."

The two parties signed an oral contract under the witness of Tian Laosi, and Liu Hao finally paid a deposit of twenty cents.

Under the leadership of Tian Laosi, the two visited several other families raising sows in the village one by one, and found that the situation of each household was similar.

Tian Laosi took Liu Hao to walk on the ridge of the village field. The ox cart was still parked in the dam near the first house. The roads in front of the village were indeed small roads, which were easy for oxen to walk on, but it was not very convenient for the carts behind to come in.

Liu Hao parked the ox cart there. There was nothing valuable on the cart. Tian Laosi asked Aunt Gao to help keep an eye on the ox and make sure it didn't get stolen.

However, these days no one dares to steal these animals. The cows are registered with the government, and being caught stealing cows is a serious crime.

"Haozi, there will be fewer piglets this time, but there should be more piglets later. Farmers raise a pig in the spring and kill it at the end of the year, so few people buy piglets in the meantime.

Unless there is an accident with the piglets during the production, some of them will die and there is not enough energy to raise a new one. Therefore, in the second half of the year, the piglets born by sows are difficult to sell.

They don’t know how to breed sows. They can’t afford the risk. They can’t sell the piglets, and they can’t afford to raise them. The meat of such small piglets is not much. It’s not cost-effective.”
