"Including my wife and I, there are a total of 11 people on the pig farm."
"Only 11?" Lei Lanting couldn't believe his ears.
"Eleven is already a lot. When my wife and I were young, we only had eight people running the pig farm. Because I have had too much administrative work in recent years, I hired two more people."
Lei Lanting originally wanted to ask him if he wanted part-time workers, but when he heard this number, he was like a deflated ball and fell silent.
"Your efficiency is really high." Dong Qiangqiang said with emotion.
"Haha, Luke's factory next door is about the same size as mine. There are 13 people. Mainly because he doesn't do a lot of things himself as he gets older, but I am different. I like raising pigs." Fleischer said, Pointing to a corner: "Here, there is a free-range pig."
Following the direction he pointed, Dong Qiangqiang and the other two saw a strong pig penned alone in a larger pen in the corner.
Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting were both shocked: This pig is really big!
"We checked it after we brought it back from the outside. Fortunately, it didn't contract any diseases during the time it was kept outside and was very healthy. But its temperament and size have grown a lot. I want to temper it first. I want to temper its wildness before putting it with other pigs. I also want to see if it will become smaller if it eats the previous feed." Fleischer walked over and said with a smile, "I'll give him some money. I gave him a fancy name, Jack."
Everyone walked to Jack's pig pen and saw the owner approaching. Jack seemed very happy, humming softly while circling in the pig pen and wagging his little tail.
Seeing Jack's size, Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting both took a breath. Dong Qiangqiang asked tentatively: "This pig weighs 300 kilograms, right?"
Fleischer nodded: "5 months, 318 pounds."
Dong Qiangqiang's heart sank and he glanced at Lei Lanting beside him. Lei Lanting happened to be looking at him as well. The two of them communicated tacitly with their eyes and thought of a question at the same time.
"Are those pigs that ran away also that big?" Lei Lanting asked uneasily.
"Before they ran away, I would record their weight every day. Among the few that ran away, the heaviest one weighed more than 260 kilograms, and the lightest one weighed more than 160 kilograms." Fleischer recalled, "But now how much No one knows."
"I have some questions about the hunting requirements you just mentioned. You..." Dong Qiangqiang was about to speak when he suddenly saw Lei Lanting winking at him. He immediately realized that he had something to say to him, so he quickly changed his words. , "Do you have a bathroom here?"
Fleischer pointed at the door and said, "Just turn left and then left again when you go out."
Dong Qiangqiang nodded at Lei Lanting as he walked out. Lei Lanting hurriedly said: "What the hell, I'll go there too."
The two of them trotted out of the pig farm gate, turned two corners and came to a remote corner.
"What did you want to say just now?" Dong Qiangqiang asked curiously.
Lei Lanting looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "Did you just want to ask him if you could catch pigs using alcohol anesthesia?"
"How did you know?" Dong Qiangqiang was a little surprised.
"I guess you are going to ask this, but I don't think you can ask." Lei Lanting said solemnly, "And you shouldn't ask in any other way you can think of."
"Why is that?" Dong Qiangqiang was even more curious.
"If you ask and he says no, should you use it or not?" Lei Lanting said quietly, "If you don't use it, you might not be caught, but if you use it, it's against the law. What will you do then?"
"This..." Dong Qiangqiang was speechless for a moment. He had not thought about this issue just now, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to violate the rules."
"You have to think clearly, the method he approved may not necessarily catch the pig, otherwise he and the hunters would have caught it long ago. He has just told us all his requirements, and he didn't say anything else, so we can't I didn’t ask, so we don’t know if other methods are considered violations. But I think it’s too much to say that there are too many mistakes. If they don’t let you use the method you asked about, will you still be able to earn this money? Moreover He has restricted the use of many methods, and there are not many that can be used. If you look at Jack’s size, he is much larger than the wild boars you encountered at that time.”
"But if we use a method that he is not allowed to use, what if he wants to catch pigs with us? Wouldn't he see that we violated the law right away? What if he doesn't pay us later?"
"I don't think so," Lei Lanting shook his head, "Think about it, his pig farm is so big, there are so few employees, and his wife is traveling again, how can he have the time and time to keep an eye on us? We don't have the time and energy to keep an eye on us. If you are not a professional pig catcher, it is possible that you will work in vain for a month. How can he have time to leave the pig farm and run around with us without caring about so many things? "
Dong Qiangqiang thought about it and realized that what Lei Lanting said made some sense.
"If we can't catch the pig, we won't get a penny as a result. But if we catch the pig using a method that is not prohibited by him, no matter whether he buys it or not, isn't the pig still in our hands? Even if he does If you don’t buy it, won’t all the farmers in this area buy it? Even if Hans doesn’t help us sell the pigs, we can go to the restaurants and ask one by one. Isn’t that the truth?” Lei Lanting calmed down. He said, "His neighbor, Luke, might buy it. So the key in the end is whether we can catch the pig."
Lei Lanting's words are well-founded and logical. Dong Qiangqiang was sincerely impressed after hearing this: "Okay, Lao Lei, your ability to see problems is getting better and better."
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's approval, Lei Lanting said with a smile: "I also appreciate talents, so isn't this trying to get closer to you? But old Dong, you are good at everything, but sometimes you are too upright, rigid in doing things, and love to get into trouble. , not easy..."
"Wait a minute," Dong Qiangqiang stretched out his hand, "Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"Hey, just take it as a compliment."
"Nacheng, I'll listen to you, I won't ask any more. But apart from this, there is another thing that is quite tricky," Dong Qiangqiang frowned and said, "You said before that I have a company, but where can I find a German company with him?" Sign a contract?"
"What I want is that we agree first and then talk about it. When we go back and prepare to catch the pig, we will ask who has a company around us. A two-pronged approach. Otherwise, if you just say no, the matter will be ruined." Lei Lanting explained.
"But we are all classmates, who has a company under his name?" Dong Qiangqiang asked worriedly.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Lei Lanting looked very confident, "We will definitely find a solution. I believe in you."
The two discussed for a while before walking back to the pig farm.
Hans was the only one in the pig farm wandering around the pig pen boredly, and Fleischer didn't know where he went. Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to ask Hans if there was anything else, he saw Fleischer quickly walking out from behind a door.
