Fortunately, there was a knowledgeable person like Old Liu at the scene.
Old Liu exchanged a few words with the boss and finally decided on the type, quantity, and age of the first batch of piglets to be purchased, and selected the batch number of the piglets on the spot.
When negotiating the price, it was finally Lin Cheng’s turn to take action.
After some haggling, Lin Cheng finally negotiated the deal at a price discount of 16% ± 2%.
While Lin Cheng was signing the supply and sales contract with the farm owner, Lin Momo disappeared.
When they walked outside to the breeding area, they found Lin Momo squatting outside a small breeding pen, playing with the piglets inside through the iron railings, having a great time.
The pig pen where the piglets were being raised was very clean. There were only a dozen piglets in it. The piglets were just the size of a baby. They were pink and tender, with small white down on their bodies.
When Lin Momo reached her fingers through the fence, the piglets would stick out their pink snouts and poke Lin Momo’s fingers with their noses. Lin Momo would move to the other side of the fence, and the group of piglets would take little steps with their short legs and squeeze together, running to Lin Momo’s side, and then poking Lin Momo’s finger with their snouts again as if to say ‘hello’.
“Dad, these piglets are so cute.” Seeing Lin Cheng come out, Lin Momo jumped up to Lin Cheng and pulled him to the pig pen.
“Ah, this. This are the rosin pig we just bred last year. The genes were imported from country D. This kind of pig is nearly half the size smaller than the average meaty pig. These are piglets that have just been weaned, only 28 days. The weight is about seven or eight catty, and it will only weigh about a hundred catty when it grows into adulthood. However, this kind of pig has a good fat-to-lean meat ratio and good meat quality. Some customers like to buy it for roasting whole pigs, whole pig feasts, and bacon. Market demand is pretty okay,” the boss introduced from the side.
Seeing that Lin Momo liked it, the boss simply took one out of the stall and wanted to give it to her.
“If you like it, take one back to your farm to raise and play with,” the boss said to Lin Momo with a smile.
This was not surprising. Lin Cheng would be their long-term customer in the future. It didn’t matter if they give him an extra piglet, and the boss was secretly hoping that if Lin Cheng found this kind of pig to be good, then he would order several hundred more from him.
… …
As soon as the boss said this, the barrage area in the livestream channel suddenly became lively:
[No, wait, the boss wants to give this piglet to Momo?]
[Momo doesn’t want to keep this as a pet, right?]
[No, although these little piglets do look cute now, they are also pigs, the kind of pigs that can grow big.].
… …
However, after hearing the boss’s words, Lin Momo’s eyes lit up and she asked, “Really?”
“Really.” As the boss said this, he very ‘fastidiously’ pulled out a red braid from somewhere and wrapped it around the little piglet’s front legs, tied it into a bow around its neck, becoming a make-shift leash, and offered it to Lin Momo.
Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng uncertainly.
Seeing Lin Momo’s hopeful look, Lin Cheng finally nodded.
Lin Momo’s smile bloomed immediately. She said to the farm owner with a big smile on her face, “Thank you, uncle”, and then carefully took the little pig’s leash from the man’s hand.
The little pig was very obedient. When Lin Momo picked her up, she just snorted twice and then let Lin Momo hold her.
… …
In the livestream channel, things have already exploded:
[No! Momo, you can’t do this, you are a little fairy, how can you keep a pig as a pet!]
[Isn’t it cuter to have a kitten, a puppy, or a bunny? Why raise pigs?]
[Momo, put down the pig in your arms, you are still our little fairy.]
[Hahaha, congratulations to Momo for getting Peppa Pig. One year later, you will also gain 200 kilograms of sausages.]
[I think I need another emoticon in my phone, and the title is ‘Girl Holding a Piglet’.]
… …
Unfortunately, Lin Momo could not see the audience’s unanimous ‘resistance’. At this time, she had already reached a very happy friendship with the little pig in her arms.
Under the introduction of the farm owner, Lin Cheng and his party quickly finalized the purchase of chicks, ducklings, and fish fries.
… …
[Fortunately, the owner of the place didn’t give Lin Momo another duck or chicken…]

After completing their purchases, Lin Cheng’s party returned to the farm.
Seeing Lin Cheng coming back, Assistant Xiao Yang rushed to greet him.
“Boss, the people from the technical team you asked for have arrived, including the team leader. A total of 8 people have come and are temporarily staying in the reception room,” Assistant Xiao Yang said.
Lin Cheng nodded, “Invite them to the conference room, I will be there right away.”
“OK.”
Lin Cheng quickly went to the conference room. After briefly greeting the technical team, Lin Cheng went directly to the topic.
“Are you sure you can establish a unified CNC management platform1 on the farm and the other ideas I mentioned in my request?” Lin Cheng asked.
“No problem,” the head of the technical team nodded and added, “Based on the information you provided us regarding the needs of the farm, we made a preliminary plan.”
As the person in charge spoke, he motioned to his subordinates to turn on the projector and introduced things to Lin Cheng, “First of all, according to your requirements, we will install sensor monitoring in the entire peripheral area of the farm. Of course, in order to save costs, we’ll tap into the existing equipment, and after debugging, integrate it into our overall system and continue to use it.
“Then for the hotel public areas, zoos, and playgrounds—in addition to establishing independent facility and equipment management and control systems for each area, their security systems will also be integrated into our overall control system.
“In addition, there is the CNC management of farms that you wanted to prioritize. We can add an electronic number to each poultry pen, enter an electronic tag for each livestock, and carry out intelligent management and breeding based on the number and tag information. In addition, the mini program you requested will also include functions such as real-time viewing of the breeding situation on the farm, breeding information of a certain number, traceability of source information, booking, and reservations on the user terminal…”
… …
This meeting did not require the cameraman from the program team to avoid anything. Therefore, the audience in the livestream channel were also treated with the same information that the person in charge was introducing to Lin Cheng.
[What is he talking about? Does anyone understand?]
[It feels like Lin Cheng is going to do something big.]
[I don’t fully understand the technical stuff, but I’m able to grasp the meaning. Lin Cheng seems to be planning to build a fully automated CNC system in the breeding farm and future production workshops. In addition, he also plans to build a small program to allow viewers to be able to watch some work scenes in the farm areas and orchards, as well as the breeding and growth of livestock. In addition, you can also purchase farm products through the mini program.]
[Holy shit, if that’s the case, wouldn’t I be able to pick a beautiful little piglet at the farm, watch it live every day and watch it grow up, and finally customize it into the meat products I need and then buy it?]
[That seems to be the meaning.]
[Awesome.]
[I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it anymore, hahaha.]
[However, this method seems to be really good. You can buy fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry, and products directly from the farm. The shopping experience would be great.]
[AWESOME, I’m already looking forward to it.]
[Me too, rubbing my hands.]
T/N: I don’t mind watching a livestream of a piglet I’ve ‘adopted’ but I won’t be able to eat it anymore 😱
A few years back, it became a trend to get a ‘teacup pig’ for a pet. But even a so-called ‘miniature’ pig would still grow to hundreds of kilos as an adult, wreaking havoc in the living room. This isn’t a problem for Lin Momo tho—she has an entire farm haha.
