Daily Life of Pig Farming in 1970

78

Su Yaoyun was very curious about what Mr. Shen wanted to say to them, and looked at him eagerly with an anxious expression.

　　She had to be anxious. If she didn't go now, she suspected that she wouldn't be able to eat the roasted pork belly that she had been craving for. There were too many people and too little porridge.

　　Old Yan noticed that Old Shen hadn't gotten to the point for a long time, and couldn't stand his hesitating look, so he quietly pushed him with his hand.

　　The look in his eyes suggested: If you keep hesitating, we'll have no more meat.

　　Su Ming also noticed that Mr. Shen seemed to have concerns, so he said, "Professor Shen, if you have any questions, just tell us. We will do our best to cooperate with you."

　　Elder Shen then coughed and said, "Your pig breeds are good. I want to import some back to H Province to continue my research."

　　Su Ming's expression suddenly paused, his eyes looking between Elder Shen and Su Yaoyun in confusion, "This..."

　　Su Yaoyun was also confused for a moment, "Teacher, do you want to introduce these pig breeds into H Province for research?"

　　Elder Shen nodded and said, "That's right! We'll pay you the price. Yaoyun, these pigs are of such good quality that we can't just sell them for meat."

　　Old Yan also trembled his beard and chimed in, "That's right! We should put these pigs to good use and make some contributions to our research. I'm sure the people outside can understand this."

　　After thinking for a moment, he added: "Of course, we don't want all of it. We'll leave some for them."

　　It was rare for Su Yaoyun to see these two old men showing such a united front. He squinted his eyes at Old Yan, and always felt that the image of Old Yan eating so much with a pig's trotter in his bowl was not convincing enough.

　　Moreover, in her opinion, the pigs from Sujia Village have already entered the research scope of the institute, so there is no need to purchase and import them specially.

　　Perhaps sensing Su Yaoyun's doubts, Elder Shen simply said, "Although we can do research here, after all, these are Sujia Village's pigs, and their ownership is always problematic."

　　After hearing what Mr. Shen said, Su Yaoyun thought

　　After thinking about it, I felt that it made sense and asked, "Teacher, how many heads do you think are appropriate to order? How will we transport them to Province H when the time comes?"

　　Mr. Shen was just thinking about the appropriate number when he heard Mr. Yan cough lightly. His eyelids twitched as he winked at him and secretly counted with his hands.

　　Elder Shen paused, pretending not to notice, and said, "Five, I will report to the higher authorities and send the pigs back. Village chief, do you think this number is okay?"

　　Su Ming really likes scholars. When he heard that Mr. Shen wanted to use these pigs for research, he agreed on the spot. "That's great! We can lower the price and just pay according to the cost."

　　Although Su Da was a pig-guarding slave, his ideas were similar to his father's. As for Su Yaoyun, both parties were important people to her, so she kept silent and let them talk.

　　Mr. Shen wanted to decline, but Su Ming's attitude was firm, so he had to nod. The two of them quickly finished their conversation and decided to go out for a meal.

　　Only Old Yan had a gloomy look on his face and followed the two of them in a somewhat unhappy manner.

　　Five heads is better than nothing. I just don’t know if I can get some meat from Shen Xuemin.
