Chapter 767 - Chapter 767 757. Its a pig _1
Chapter 767: 757. It’s a pig! _1 Chapter 767: 757. It’s a pig! _1 Boss Chang pondered, and decided maybe now was not the time to talk business.
He turned to look at Song Tan–Boss Xiaosong was pretty and a girl, he figured she would likely have a nice temper and be easier to communicate with.
“Boss Xiaosong, can I go and take a look at Vegetable Field Mountain and the Chestnut Garden?”
Song Tan thought for a moment and replied, “Sure!”
Just then, Seventh Uncle also instructed, “Go and check up on the mountain first to see if Qiaoqiao is playing with Dabao, Erbao, or Big White again? It’s been so long and there’s neither sight of sweet potato vines nor chestnuts!”
Every single day was filled with classes, learning culinary arts, doing menial chores, and having to spare a thought to accompany the dogs, cats, geese, and the like at home…
Just by seeing how the new geese already bowed their heads to him, calling him brother, one could tell that in this house, this silly boy was the busiest.
Song Tan wasn’t bothered and just nodded, “Then, Boss Chang, shall we first go take a look at Chestnut Garden? There are wholesale buyers coming over in a few days to take the whole place.”
Boss Chang was somewhat surprised–as a restaurant owner, chestnuts required cold storage, which meant high costs, and the prices might not be economical, so he only planned to buy some to use as ingredients.
But what he didn’t expect was that not only did the vegetables sell well in this remote place, but there were even people booking the chestnuts in advance.
The condition of the roads would mean the transport costs were bound to be significantly higher, right?
“Of course!” He said eagerly, “I want to see it for myself too.”
The truth was, those who had come to book the Chestnut Garden hadn’t tasted the goods yet, so the pricing had not been discussed at the moment.
But the two bosses frequently sent earnest messages, clearly not the type to give up easily.
This summer, relying on the peaches, they had made a tidy sum, and now joined forces again, waiting for the transport team they contacted to be available to directly bring them over.
Zhang Yanping thought it over and decided to go up the mountain with Song Tan as well.
…
Boss Chang was a quintessential restaurant owner, wanting to pluck and taste every green leaf he encountered along the way.
Up the slope they ascended. The cemented pathway had been constructed, naturally, it was not as rugged and muddy as before.
The tender leaves on both sides swayed in the wind, speckled with dewdrops that, when blown by the breeze, splashed onto one’s face, carrying a cool mist.
The rainbow in the sky had faded away, and Boss Chang gazed at the mountains shrouded in clouds, the undulating slopes, and the pool in the middle of the basin that resembled an opal.
The high-pitched calls of geese echoed, followed by a group of ducks waddling behind…
“Life in the countryside, it’s truly wonderful!”
As he was sighing with content, his smile still on his lips, suddenly a dusky behemoth burst out from the side of the field!
Good gracious, it was the very definition of a “pig charging downhill!”
–It was a pig!
–“It’s really a wild boar!!!”
Boss Chang in his life had never yelled so loudly, his voice nearly splitting!
In that instant, time seemed to fly so fast that he had no strength to dodge aside.
Yet it also seemed to slow, slow enough for Boss Chang to watch the fair-skinned, gentle-smiling Boss Xiaosong reach out to grab and haul in the pig’s ear!
Then with a slight kick of her foot, the wild boar laid down, even making a grunting sound.
He suddenly stiffened his neck, a cold air rushed into his lungs, coughing and in complete disarray.
“Eww…” Song Tan didn’t pay him any mind, just slightly disgusted as she pulled a handful of grass to wipe her hands, “Why is there so much mud on this pig’s ears!”
Just then, Qiaoqiao came up the path with a willow switch in hand, panting, and said,
“You, you really are so disobedient? I told you not to go into the vegetable garden when we’re walking–huh, Sister, you caught it!”
Song Tan raised an eyebrow, “What happened?”
Qiaoqiao looked at the pig pinned down by Song Tan and struggling to get free, and huffed, “Dahei is just too unruly!”
“As soon as I stepped into the field, I saw it stealing sweet potatoes! It ate half and discarded half, wasting so much food, so I tried to persuade it to eat properly. After it was full, it still wanted to root around… I said I’d bring it to see its babies… But it’s not listening, always wanting to go through the vegetable garden…”
The willow switch in his hand was obviously snapped off in preparation for a quick lash.
But considering what that pig looked like, and thinking about Qiaoqiao’s temperament, it was probably just a scare tactic.
Song Tan lifted her foot, “The mother of our two pigs, huh?”
The wild pig immediately stopped rooting and stood obediently still, not moving an inch.
Qiaoqiao nodded, “See?”
Boss Chang almost ran out of breath–See? See! That’s not how you handle a wild pig! These creatures can fight tigers… and he’d just be a condiment to a tiger.
Aren’t you supposed to be people from the countryside? What gives you the right to be so bold? Don’t wild pigs on the ground deserve some respect?
Thankfully, the grim-faced robust man, Zhang Yanping, was a normal person; he asked right then,
“Qiaoqiao, you just used the branch to whip it up here?”
Qiaoqiao sounded surprised, “Oh no, we were given Dahei’s babies, how could I whip it like that? I just tap with this when it goes off track… It’s got so much mud on it, I don’t want to touch it.”
Zhang Yanping was also taken aback, “And it actually listens to you?”
Qiaoqiao gave him a blank look, “I feed it sweet potatoes, and winter melon candy, and dried pumpkin… Why wouldn’t it listen to me!”
“These were all prepared for my Baobao!”
Song Tan: Understood.
The faint Spiritual Energy on Qiaoqiao’s body does tend to make animals naturally drawn to him, at the very least they wouldn’t attack immediately.
And those treats in his pocket… were simply irresistible sugary temptations for any pig.
Luring it with these all the way here, it’s normal for the wild pig to be compliant.
However…
“Is it that by the time you came up this slope, you had fed it everything?” Song Tan asked with a smile.
Qiaoqiao nodded sheepishly, “Over by Chestnut Garden, there’s only Dabao and Erbao, so I only brought a little.”
Everything had been fed, yet the wild pig was still here, just standing, sniffing the air in front of it, seemingly sensing something different about Song Tan.
And Qiaoqiao looked at her with a pitiful expression, “Sister, it rooted up a chunk of our sweet potatoes, what do we do?”
Song Tan wasn’t worried in the least, “What’s there to be scared of? Just make it pay us back.”
Boss Chang listened numbly, not sure if he was crazy or they were.
Today he was determined to see how this wild pig was going to repay the debt!
While thinking this, he also shifted stealthily to stand behind Zhang Yanping, just in case the wild pig charged again.
Song Tan looked at the burly wild pig in front of her, “Dahei, why aren’t you repaying what you owe? Are you planning on dodging the debt?”
She feigned a sigh, “No choice, to deal with a deadbeat pig like this who refuses to pay back, it seems I’ll need to send it to the pigsty for some re-education.”
