Returning to his hometown to raise pigs, a pig-slaughtering feast went viral online.

Chapter 7: Perseverance and Business Opportunities Near the Pigsty

At this moment, Qin Feng was adjusting his phone, and on the screen, he could already see many pigs rooting in the dirt in the yard.

"Auntie, this is what I installed in the live stream room."

"In the future, city dwellers will not only be able to buy pork, but also watch how the pigs are walked around 24 hours a day and know how they know it. Wouldn't that make our local pigs even more famous?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Xiao Feng, you're so thoughtful." Aunt Chen said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng named his live stream "Watching the Pigs Take a Walk, Waiting for the Meat to Be Cooked".

Within an hour of starting the broadcast, the number of viewers in his live stream room kept increasing, reaching at least fifty or sixty thousand.

The comments section was also constantly scrolling.

"You're so kind, streamer, to show us local pigs?"

"Not bad, look at this pig, it really knows how to enjoy itself! It even knows to go find some shade to cool off!"

"Haha, look at that pig, it's actually stealing other pig feed?!"

"I think watching this is much more stress-relieving than watching TV dramas. I think I could watch it for an entire afternoon."

"....."

Many people are discussing it, finding Qin Feng, this streamer, to be incredibly interesting—he's actually livestreaming the lifestyle of a local pig?!

So many people started sending rockets, saying that Qin Feng from Zhihu was too kind.

Looking at the excited crowd, Qin Feng suddenly had a good idea.

"Family members, we've come up with something new here: the adoption program."

"Three thousand yuan a pig. From now until the end of the year, you're in charge of these pigs. You can name them whatever you want, and I'll put up a small wooden sign for them."

"You can come and watch here anytime. If you can't come, you can watch it every day in the live stream. I also guarantee you 150 jin (75 kg) of meat by the end of the year. If you're short even an ounce, I'll make up for it. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the order notifications in the backend started pouring in like dumplings being dropped into a pot, which shocked Qin Feng.

They were absolutely amazing!

After passing by, Uncle Li glanced at the live stream and then at the payment notification that popped up on his phone, which shocked him.

"Xiao Feng?? People actually want to buy this?? Three thousand yuan to adopt a piglet?? I can hardly believe it, I really don't know what they're after??"

"What else could you want? Isn't it just peace of mind?"

"Uncle Bo, actually, people in Chenglu believe in this. They watch the pigs grow up day by day, and they don't feed them any weird stuff, so they feel safe eating them," Qin Feng said.

He was well aware of the city dwellers' plans; they were very particular about food.

Three hours later, all two hundred pigs had been adopted.

"Xiao Feng, more than two hundred piglets have actually been adopted. In the past, they would have been impossible to sell. Even if they were raised to adulthood, their value would have dropped."

"Now it's great! All the piglets that were just born have been reserved. Life is so promising!" Li Bo couldn't stop smiling.

Their lives here are finally not so difficult anymore.

"Alright, Uncle Bo, they've all been adopted. Go and inform the cooperative staff to get things started!" Qin Feng said.

"I'll go right away."

After saying that, Li Bo rushed off excitedly.

They spent the entire afternoon doing this: putting signs on the pigs that netizens had adopted.

It's all about naming the pigs they adopt, like "Fugui" (meaning "wealthy") or "Wangcai" (meaning "prosperous"), and the names they come up with are all sorts of different things.

This struck Qin Feng as particularly interesting.

As evening approached, Qin Feng took out his phone and opened the chat window with his colleague. She had posted a picture of the office building at night with the caption: "Working overtime again, I'm exhausted."

After reading it, Qin Feng smiled and typed a word below.

"I'm chasing after the pigs every day now. I have to get up at five or six in the morning to feed them, and then I have to watch over them under the scorching sun at noon. I also have to clean the pigpen at night. It's very tiring, but I feel very fulfilled."

"Look at these green hills and clear waters, it's much better than office buildings."

After sending the message and disappearing, he put his phone in his pocket and turned to feed the pigs.

He looked at the pigs in the pigsty and muttered something to himself.

"Grandpa, look at our pigs here, aren't they raised quite well?"

The book in the pigpen seemed to understand, and it came over with grunts and scrambled around the trough for food.

Qin Feng was secretly delighted to see this.

He thought raising pigs seemed like a good idea.

However, what Qin Feng didn't know was that the message he sent to his female colleague was like a seed that might actually sprout one day. She quit her job in the city and went to Qin Feng's place to raise pigs and manage the cooperative, which became a well-known story among the villagers.

Of course, that's all in the future.

.....

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the cooperative's sign was already up, with the villagers already busy at work.

Everyone had their own things to do, but they were all very excited.

After all, they've already found a way.

That day!!

Another important person has arrived in their village.

At this moment, Qin Feng was combing the hair of the pigs at the entrance of the pigpen. This was a new trick he had come up with, thinking that smoothing the pigs' hair would make them grow longer.

Actually, he just can't sit still; he likes to interact with pigs and stuff.

Just then, he heard a sharp creak, and a black minivan stopped there, causing quite a commotion.

This made Qin Feng frown, wondering who had arrived.

The car door opened quickly, and a middle-aged man stepped out. His hair was slicked back, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite respectable.

Compared to the people in the village, he felt a bit out of place.

Immediately after seeing Qin Feng, the middle-aged man quickly came out and handed Qin Feng a business card.

His tone was polite, like that of a city dweller.

"Hello, Mr. Qin."

"I am the purchasing director of Fresh Food & Delicious Food, and my surname is Liu."

"I came here because I've heard you raise excellent local pigs, so I'd like to collaborate with you. What do you think?"

"Purchasing Director for Fresh and Delicious Foods??" Qin Feng took the business card and was stunned.

"I know your platform. You're here to discuss cooperation? Then come in and have a seat!" Qin Feng didn't refuse and led the man into the office he had just tidied up. He even made him a cup of tea.

"Director Liu, please have some tea. We don't have any good tea here, so please bear with us."

"grateful!!"

Director Liu thanked him and then sat down opposite Qin Feng.

He then opened his black briefcase and took out a contract.

"Mr. Qin seems to be a straightforward person, so I'll keep it brief."

"Our platform has seen your local pork and thinks it's quite good. Therefore, we'd like to package all the pork from you and your cooperative. As for the price, it will be 10% higher than the market price. What do you think?"
