The production team had a rule about the number of state-purchased pigs to be submitted each year. Before this quota was met, neither the team nor private individuals were allowed to slaughter pigs. Xu Changqing didn't believe Bai Chenggang was unaware of this.
But the fact that he'd even ask meant this year's quota for state-purchased pigs was already set. This meant families who had raised two pigs could slaughter one soon.
Of course, even with the quota set, a family could only slaughter one pig for themselves. Her family's two pigs had lost some weight in the last two months; they had been doing very well before that.
Still, even though they hadn't been raised as well as last year's, they were still much fatter than pigs from years past. She had taken a look when she first got home today, and their weight was already sufficient to meet the standard.
