This group of people soon arrived at the Red River Large-scale Livestock Trading market, 47 kilometers away from Dafeng Village.

The entire market was quite large.

At the outermost edge of the market, the management has set apart more than a dozen free trading areas with railings. In different areas, farmers were selling their livestock. People were coming and going throughout the market, and everything was quite lively.

Seeing such a scene for the first time, Lin Momo’s eyes and mouth were all round, full of surprise.

… …

Lin Momo’s face made the audience in the livestream channel burst into laughter:

[The way Momo is looking around, it feels like it’s the first time a city dweller has entered the village, haha.]

[To be honest, Momo and I have the same expression now.]

[Me too.]

[Although I have heard of this kind of market before, this is the first time I have seen it.]

[Me too, I didn’t expect that watching a reality show livestream would give me the opportunity to see such a market.]

[Haha, this opportunity is probably only available in Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s  livestream channel.]

… …

This was true. The [Family Background] drawn by the other four groups of families was mostly related to the celebrity’s own expertise. Even if they occasionally drew some ‘down-to-earth’ profession, the celebrity dad would only record the program according to the planned script.

None of them would be like Lin Cheng and Lin Momo who would only do work in front of them, and it was even more impossible for them to come to such a market to buy chickens and ducks in person.

[Hahaha, I learned a lot from Momo and Momo’s Dad’s livestream channel.]

[+1, I feel like after watching the whole livestream of Lin Cheng, I can now open a small farmhouse.]

Lin Cheng and his party had already walked through the peripheral trading market and arrived inside the market proper.

“Most of those outside are retail transactions, while those inside are mostly formal and certified breeding farms and agricultural and livestock companies,” said Old Liu, the person in charge of the farm’s breeding area. He came with Lin Cheng and the others so he could introduce the market to them.

Compared with the external trading market, the internal market was obviously much more regulated: livestock, poultry, fishery… The sales of different types were divided into different areas, and different livestock—such as cattle, sheep, pigs and donkeys—were further separated and partitioned.

They followed the directions posted on the signs and first went to the place where they could buy the pigs they needed.

There were more than two dozen pig sellers here. The storefronts of the different merchants and companies were all neatly arranged on both sides of the road. Each family’s storefront has its own advertisement and introduction written on the outside. You could also see the sample pigs inside through the railings of the storefront.

Lin Momo followed Lin Cheng around the market and finally pointed at one of storefronts.

“Dad, I feel that the pigs from that family are better,” Lin Momo said.

Her criterion for judging whether a pig was better was actually very simple, that was, the place where the pigs were temporarily kept was larger and cleaner, and the pigs inside look more lively.

After Lin Momo explained her reasons, Lin Cheng and the other adults couldn’t help laughing.

But it didn’t matter: the price of piglets in the entire market didn’t vary by much, so it was okay to just go to the one that suited your eyes better, and the rest was all up to negotiation.

“Okay, then we’ll choose that one,” Lin Cheng said and took Lin Momo to the storefront she pointed to.

In the store, when he saw customers coming, the boss got up from his chair and walked out.

“How many pigs are you looking to buy, boss? Do you want to see adult breeding pigs or piglets? How many do you want?” asked the boss.

“Piglets, about 500 piglets, to be raised on the farm…” Lin Cheng briefly explained his needs to the boss.

Hearing that Lin Cheng asked for a large quantity, the boss’s eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, “Yes, we have piglets that have just been weaned, two months old, three months old, four months old, and half-a-year old piglets. Our family has them all.

“Furthermore, we breed our own piglets. We have our own large-scale breeding farm in Yangchang County, so we can guarantee good breeding and fattening. We also supply pigs to Xinghua and Anjia, so there is no need to worry about the quantity, and long-term supply is guaranteed. Absolutely no problem, we will deliver within the province.”

After that, the boss took out another stack of information and showed it to Lin Cheng and others. “Here are our certificates and inspection reports. We have strict data records for each batch of piglets, so in terms of quality, you can absolutely rest assured.”

The boss promoted his pigs to Lin Cheng and his party again, and finally invited Lin Cheng and others to their breeding farm.

… …

In the farm, the boss explained to them, “You see, our farms use semi-automatic mechanical farming. They are cleaned every day and disinfected every Monday. Feeding and excrement collection and cleaning are all automated, so it’s much cleaner than traditional pig pens, and in such an environment, pigs are not prone to illness.

“If you want well-bred pigs, that’s fine. If you want hybrid pigs, we have them here too.”

“We also have pure grain pigs here. We usually feed these pigs until 38 days before they are put into the slaughterhouse. They have to be fed to reach the right weight before they are put into the slaughterhouse. They can grow to about 200 kilograms. Although it takes a little longer to put them into the slaughterhouse, the rate of return is good, and pigs fed like this have good meat quality.”

After saying that, the boss turned to look at Lin Cheng and his party, and asked, “Don’t you think so?”

Lin Cheng: “…”

Xu Yi: “…”

Lin Momo: “…”

At this time, these three people perfectly exhibited what ‘three confused faces’ meant.

… …

[Haha, I guess Lin Cheng, Lin Momo, and Assistant Xu didn’t understand a word.]

[I guess I just understood the last phrase ‘the meat is of good quality’.]

[Three laymen came to buy pigs in person. The difficulty level is indeed too high.]
