1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 38 You Pingcun Brigade are really brave!

Scrap yard.

Su Wenchen did not go directly into the house to find the manager of the scrap yard.

He planned to get to know the other webmaster's general personality before going in to negotiate with him, so that he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Hey, comrades in front, please make way and stop blocking the road so I can pass first!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Su Wenchen. After hearing the voice, he immediately turned around and saw a young man carrying a heavy wooden table with broken legs.
Su Wenchen's eyes lit up when he saw this and he quickly went over to lend a hand.

"Come on, comrade, let me help you carry it over!"

The other party never expected Su Wenchen to be so enthusiastic!

But it was obviously much easier with two people, so he quickly said, "Thank you so much, this old-fashioned furniture is good in every way except that it's too big and too heavy! I carried it all the way back from someone else's house! I was exhausted."

Su Wenchen was a little curious.

"Don't you push a wheelbarrow when you go out to collect waste?"

The young man replied, "Of course it's a cart. This is the first thing I bought when I went out today!"

"My master thought it took up too much space, so he asked me to carry it back! Other people's tables are usually unusable after breaking two legs, how come this one only has one leg left?"

Su Wenchen took a look at the table and found that of the three broken legs under the table top, only one was just broken, and the other two legs had been sawed off, leaving very old marks.

"It should be this table. One of its legs was broken a long time ago. The owner was reluctant to replace it, so he probably sawed off the leg on the same side and directly placed one side of the table on the stove and continued to use it."

"Only this one should be a newly broken mark. It must have been replaced because it is really unusable now!"

The other party looked at the table and said, "It's true. You can see that the marks here are obviously different."

After Su Wenchen saw that the two had become a little more familiar with each other, he began to inquire.

"Hey, buddy, let me ask you something. How many kilograms of pork bones can you collect in a day?"

The young man was a little confused. "Pork bones? Sometimes we produce a few kilograms a day, sometimes dozens of kilograms. During the New Year holidays, we may produce hundreds of kilograms a day. It all depends on how many pigs the meat processing plant kills!"

"You can't buy edible pork bones from us. The ones we collect are inedible! They are sold to fertilizer factories to be made into fertilizer. They are the stinky kind!"

Su Wenchen's eyes flickered. "Fertilizer factory? You help them recycle pig bones. It seems that their factory doesn't have any unplanned materials to exchange with you!"

"Of course, why would we need smelly fertilizer? So we buy it at four cents a pound and sell it to the fertilizer factory for five cents. Even so, they are not happy! They even say that the factory is in trouble and we are all brothers!"

"Bah! What's wrong with the brother unit? The brother unit can't eat for free!"

"But why are you asking about pork bones? Oh~! I understand, your team also needs to make fertilizer, right?"

"You can just go and find our webmaster. He's very easy to talk to!"

Su Wenchen's eyes fell into a brief contemplation.

We sell it to the fertilizer factory for five cents a pound. If their team wants to purchase it, the price must not be lower than this!
If the price is just the same as the other party, will the scrap yard choose them?
They are a chicken farm, by the way.

For the scrap yard, it is obvious that eggs are much more attractive than fertilizers, as all the employees here are city dwellers.

We are all brother units, isn't it common to exchange some unplanned supplies with each other?
Although many of the items at the scrap yard are discarded from the city, many of the items that require tickets are still difficult to get in the countryside.

Wait for the two of them to lift the table to the place where the discarded furniture was placed.

The young man rubbed his arm.

"Come on, I'll take you to see our stationmaster. Don't worry, the stationmaster will sell you pork bones just for my sake!"

Su Wenchen was a little confused. Are you so proud?
But the next moment Su Wenchen knew the truth.

Because the other party didn't even knock on the door, he just opened it and rushed in.
Pick up the glass of water on the table.

"Gulp-Gulp!" He drank half a glass of water and sat down in front of a middle-aged man. "Uncle, you don't know how exhausted I was just now. I walked halfway across the county carrying a table weighing dozens of kilograms."

The middle-aged man saw Su Wenchen walking in from behind.

He said directly to the young man in front of him, "Comrade Li Cheng, how many times have I told you to address others by their titles when you are working!"

Then he glanced at Su Wenchen.

Li Cheng understood immediately.

"No, Stationmaster, this is a brother I just met. He's here to buy pork bones for the brigade. His name is..."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to ask you what your name is!"

The middle-aged man next to him saw this and understood it immediately. He waved his hand and said to his nephew.

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, just go out and wait!"

After the young people went out.

He immediately pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down. Are you here to buy pork bones for your team?"

Su Wenchen shook his head.

"That was Comrade Li Cheng's guess when he heard that I wanted to buy pig bones. I came to buy pig bones for feed for our brigade's chicken farm."

Su Wenchen did not intend to deceive the other party deliberately, and he would know the answer with just a little question, so there was no point in deceiving the other party.

"You said you were purchasing pork bones on behalf of your Pingcun Brigade chicken farm? But as far as I know, Pingcun Brigade only has a small pig farm!"

The manager of the scrap yard looked at Su Wenchen questioningly.

Su Wenchen coughed lightly.

“There was only a small pig farm before, and now there are two chicken farms!”

"Two chicken farms!" After hearing Su Wenchen's words, the other party looked at Su Wenchen in astonishment.

After a moment, the other party showed an admiring look and said.

"You, the Pingcun Brigade, are really brave! The neighboring county just had a chicken plague last year, and you actually dared to go to two chicken farms this year."

Su Wenchen just smiled and said nothing.

He did not say the exact number of chickens raised in the two farms.

It is obvious that the other party thought that they could build two chicken farms, so the number must not be too small, otherwise why would they go through all this trouble!
Su Wenchen didn't intend to explain it clearly. It was most beneficial for him to let the other party fill in the blanks on his own.

He didn't tell a single lie from beginning to end.

At this time, the stationmaster of the scrap yard had already begun to speculate secretly that Pingcun Brigade could build two chicken farms, and at least one chicken farm would have to have a thousand chickens.

It’s not easy to buy eggs around here now.

Because of the chicken plague at the neighboring state-owned chicken farm last year, the state-owned factories in the city and several surrounding counties lost their stable supply of eggs.

So now these factories have each sent buyers to collect eggs from farmers.

This action not only caused the price of eggs in the surrounding area to rise steadily, but even the supply and marketing cooperatives lost their stable supply of eggs.

It is naturally impossible for a small unit like theirs to compete with the wealthy state-owned factories!
It is now difficult for supply and marketing cooperatives to transfer large quantities of goods from other places, because eggs are different from pigs. The damage rate is too high if they travel long distances.

At this moment, he really admired the Pingcun Brigade. They seized the opportunity very well!
