Chapter 235 Leading the villagers to make a fortune
235 Lead the villagers to make a fortune
The second day, early morning.
Wang Fuhai came early in the morning, and he also brought two carriages with a cage added to them, just like the prison carts for catching prisoners, for pigs.
The car stopped directly next to Zhao Dong's house.
After Zhao Dong went to inform the villagers, not long after, many villagers came one after another with pigs.
The first one to visit was Shitou’s house. He fed a total of three pigs, one sow and one good-looking boar, which were reserved for breeding, and the other was neutered and fattened.
Wang Fuhai was sitting in front of Zhao Dong's house, with four or five burly men standing beside him, holding a large scale.
Seeing the stone pulling the pig over, Wang Fuhai got up and went to check it. When he saw that the pig was live and there was no problem, he asked four burly men to lift the pig and start weighing it.
"Housekeeper, the total weight is one hundred and forty-three catties!"
Zhao Dong hurriedly picked up the notes and wrote them down.
Zhao Zhitong happened to be Muxiu today. She was standing next to Zhao Dong, watching the excitement. At this time, she heard the big man shouting the number of catties, so she picked it up in a milky voice and calculated: "4290 Wen."
Wang Fuhai was still clattering his abacus, when he heard Zhao Zhitong's milky cry, he subconsciously looked up at her, and then looked down at the numbers on the abacus.
Sure enough, it was 4290 words, even Wang Fuhai was surprised, this baby calculated too fast, the key point is that she didn't use the abacus yet.
So, he nodded and said, "It's exactly 4290 Wen."
The surrounding villagers all exclaimed, and kept praising Zhao Zhitong for being so smart.
Shitou’s daughter-in-law: "That's not true, he is a student who is attracted by Meng Xuexue, can he not be smart?"
"No, no, the ancestral grave of Zhao Dong's family is smoking!"
"Hey, don't say that, Brother Dong has been expelled from the family tree by Mrs. Wang, but it has nothing to do with the ancestors. This is because God sees that Brother Dong is a good person!"
…
At this time, the boy on the side had already taken out four cans of serial numbered copper coins from the cash box, counted out two hundred and ninety copper coins, and handed them to Shi Shi.
Looking at the four strings of copper plates, Shi Shi’s eyes were wide open, and he couldn’t close his mouth in a smile. He took the copper plates with both hands nodding and bent, feeling that the copper plates were heavy.
He had never seen so much money all at once in his life, and he couldn't hide the joyful expression on his face.
The eyes of the surrounding villagers also stared straight.
At this time, the next villager who sells pigs has arrived.
The bustle on their side soon attracted many people from the same village to watch the fun. Those who didn't follow Zhao Dong to raise pigs, looked at the crackling copper coins, and their intestines turned green with regret.
The Mrs. Zheng hid in the crowd, watching all this quietly, even if she was jealous.
Wang Fuhai stayed at Zhao Dong's house for almost a day, and did not bring all the pigs back until evening.
And the story of raising pigs and making a fortune with Zhao Dong spread throughout the village.
After night, many villagers came to the door with their things.
Stone and the others came first. They made money, so they came to thank Zhao Dong.
The next ones are those who want to join the gang.
Some villagers are not bad, but they have no knowledge all their lives, they are short-sighted and timid, but they are all pure and good people.
Zhao Dong only told them that if they wanted to follow him, they had to listen to him.
Those people promised again and again that they would be obedient.
Zhao Dong let them join.
However, when someone like the Zheng family came, Zhao Dong directly refused.
He got it with a half-smile: "I'm really sorry, you are late. The village chief said earlier when he was speaking in the village that the number of places is limited."
"Now the quota is full, and if more people are raised, the price of pork will drop. Isn't this unfair to other partners, don't you think so?"
As soon as these words came out, those villagers who had already signed up began to speak for Zhao Dong.
Naturally, they hoped that they could earn two more money.
"Yes, Aunt Zheng, you should go back, anyway, you have said that you don't care about the money you make from raising pigs."
"Yes, our crops were destroyed this year, but we hope to make some money by selling pigs. For Chinese New Year, Aunt Zheng, don't be so selfish!"
Zheng was so angry that he wanted to say something.
Shitou's daughter-in-law clicked her tongue: "Zheng Shi, what they said is very polite, don't be shameless!"
"When you opposed raising pigs, you were the loudest. I don't know how you have the face to come here. If I were you, I would find a place to turn in, so I have the face to join."
"Yes, yes, shameless."
The Zheng family was scolded anxiously, and finally snorted coldly: "I joined to give you face, I don't know good and evil, don't let me join, I don't care, I will raise myself!"
"Then you go home and raise it yourself, what are you doing here?"
"That's right, that's right, get out!"
Finally, Mrs. Zheng was so scolded that she lost her face and ran out blushing. Of course, this was not shame, but she didn't know what shame was.
She was just so scolded that she couldn't speak, she couldn't hold back.
And those who also said that they want to sink Tang Zhao Dong, saw that Mrs. Zheng was kicked out, they didn't have the old face to speak, and left Zhao's house one after another.
Finally, Zhao Dong's pig raising partner joined five more families. Up to now, there are a total of twenty-six families, which is good enough.
After that, when someone came again, Zhao Dong rejected them all because they were full.
So, Zheng and Wang ran to the village chief.
After the village chief listened to their complaints, he looked serious and said in a deep voice: "As I said in the village at the beginning, the number of places is limited. You are timid and fearful, and you don't want to trust Zhao Dong. , I didn’t seize the opportunity, and now I’m jealous, who can you blame?”
The village chief not only did not help them, but instead gave them a lesson, and the villagers left angrily.
Thus, some of these people had their own ideas, such as the Wang family and the Zheng family, gathered two or three of their kind, and prepared to raise pigs in partnership.
Zheng swears: "I don't believe it, we can't raise it!"
"That is, what is so difficult about raising pigs, my family has always raised them!"
…
Zheng said fiercely: "We are not allowed to join, I think it is because we are afraid that we will raise better and steal their business!"
"I think it is, Aunt Zheng, we will follow you, we will raise it ourselves, and steal their business!"
"Yes, grab their business!"
Thus, these like-minded people gathered together, vowing to grab the attention of business.
Some other villagers who didn't grab the quota to join were unwilling to follow Zheng and the others, so they went home.
Thus, Zhaozhai Village was divided into three camps.
A camp headed by the Zhao family, a camp headed by the Zheng family and the Wang family, and the last one is a neutral villager who does not stand on either side.
After hearing that the Zheng family also raises pigs, Zhao Dong just smiled and didn't take them seriously at all.
