Chapter 554: Plans Can't Keep Up With Changes
Chapter 554 The plan cannot keep up with the changes
Si Qing refused to sell it in anger. Is this price worthy of Qiongqi going to the mountains to catch wild animals for a long time?
Rather than selling them to those unscrupulous restaurants at a low price, it is better to catch them alive and let the villagers raise them so that everyone can still eat them.
At first, the villagers were quite happy with this, but as time went by and there were more pheasants and wild boars, problems arose.
Don’t you need food to raise chickens and pigs?
Even though the family members are diligent and cut the grass and catch insects every day, facing more and more pheasants, they are really unable to bear it.
Especially that damn wild boar, which was locked up with domestic pigs and fought every day, scaring the domestic pigs so much that they didn't even dare to eat.
In order to separate wild boars from domestic pigs, everyone can only separate the pig pen and divide it into two, raising domestic pigs on one side and wild boars on the other.
However, everyone was still a little annoyed when faced with the wild boars that ate a lot. Recently, there were fewer children running wild in the village, and all of them were caught by their families and hunted for pigweed.
Even Si Xiaocong and Si Xizhu recently had to hunt pigweed after returning from school at Si Zhengping's place.
Of course, no one was embarrassed to tell Si Qing about this matter, and Si Qing was naturally not aware of this problem.
Until that day, when Mrs. Wu saw Si Qing happily assigning the five pheasants that Qiongqi had captured to whom.
Finally, she couldn't hold it back anymore and said to Si Qing: "Auntie, are these chickens too many?"
Si Qing raised his little head: "What's wrong?"
Wu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Auntie, it's still early for the grain harvest. We don't have much grain left at home. Raising chickens and pigs consumes too much food."
"Then just kill and eat." Si Qing replied.
Wu smiled and shook her head and said, "Auntie, this is your thing, how can everyone kill themselves and eat it?"
"But if I give it to them, it's theirs." Si Qing thought for a moment. Could it be that she didn't express it clearly enough before, so everyone didn't understand what she meant?
So he said to Mrs. Wu: "Go down and tell them, give them chickens and pigs, and they can eat whatever they want."
"But grandma, wouldn't this be too wasteful? In fact, everyone wants to exchange chickens and wild boars for some money." Wu said.
Si Qing touched his chin and said, "It's not cost-effective to sell pheasants and wild boars. The prices are too low outside."
In fact, it's not that it's impossible to sell it cheaply, but Si Qing feels uncomfortable, and always feels like a fool by selling it like this, and has been cheated.
After thinking about it, Si Qing suddenly thought of a good idea.
She said to Wu: "Tell the people in the village not to sell pheasants and wild boars in a hurry. Except for what you eat at home, keep the rest until I come back from the county seat."
The next day, Si Qing got on the bullock cart and went to the county town with Si Jinbai.
This time she was planning to go to Magistrate Zhao and discuss with him the supply of meat at home.
After all, he is the county magistrate, so his daily meals must be indispensable for meat. If he can provide chicken, wild boar, etc. to County Magistrate Zhao, wouldn’t there be room for the pheasants and wild boars in the village?
Si Qing has almost thought that in the future, the village may be able to raise chickens and pigs, and then use the name of County Magistrate Zhao to provide meat, eggs and vegetables to the wealthy gentry of Yang County.
It’s just that the plan can’t keep up with the changes.
After Si Qing entered the city, he was about to go to He Changfeng's stall to eat wontons. Before he could go there, he saw a group of people running to the wonton stall to cause trouble.
This group of people slandered He Changfeng's wontons, saying that after eating his wontons, his pregnant sister-in-law suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and had a miscarriage on the spot.
As he spoke, he smashed the stall crazily.
He Changfeng was old and couldn't stop them from talking, and he was almost beaten by them.
