Chapter 182: It's Time to Kill the Pig Again (Part II)
I saw a big round fat pig driven into the threshing floor by a young man, this fat pig didn't seem to know what fate he was facing, but he was leisurely looking for grass to eat on the field, and the young man behind him couldn't catch up, and finally could only push forward desperately behind his back, but the other party didn't move.

Seeing some funny scenes on the field, some ignorant children laughed one after another, but no one found out about the Li Zheng who was with Boss Liu, but looked at the big fat pig with amazed eyes.
"It's still a little thin, if you eat some hormones or something, you should be able to grow fatter!" Li Xiu looked at the fat pig on the field and was still a little dissatisfied, this pig is indeed much fatter than the slender pig just now, but it is still much worse than the pigs in the pig farms in later generations.
But this is also a helpless thing, even this pig is Li Xiu's business let Liu Boss open a small stove to feed, the main thing is to make it grow fatter, so that the effect of the caster is more obvious, of course, even if you don't open a small stove, the other casters in the Zhuangzi are also very fat, at least more fat than the first pig just killed.
"Brother Liu, where did you buy this pig, why is it so fat?" At this time, Zhao Lizheng, who was almost bald in the middle, finally reacted, and asked with a pair of cloudy eyes, Zhao Lizheng is over eighty years old this year, and he is the oldest person in a hundred miles, and he doesn't have to salute when he sees Princess Pingyang.
"Hehe, don't hide it from Brother Zhao, this pig is actually raised by my family, and we have a secret recipe in Zhuangzi, the pigs raised are all fat, this one is the fattest one of them, if it weren't for the hospitality of you, I would really be reluctant to kill it!" Boss Liu said very proudly at this time, he had been told by Li Xiu before, and deliberately didn't say what the secret recipe was, firstly, to hang the appetite of Zhao Lizheng and others, and secondly, things that were too easy to get were often not cherished too much.
"Brother Liu, we are not outsiders, just talk about any secret recipes!" At this time, the young man who was close to him just now also leaned over and whispered, can raise pigs so fat, and now the fat is so expensive, this pig alone is more than twice as expensive as ordinary pigs, it is simply an extra pig, and they naturally refuse to miss such a good thing.
Young Li Zheng's words also represent other people's thoughts, so they also gathered around to ask at this time, but Boss Liu just refused to say it, which made everyone helpless. At this time, Liu Dayan had already carried the second fat pig onto the stone platform, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the pig was slaughtered quickly, and when the pig was shaved clean and hung up to open the belly, the people around could see that there was a thick layer of white meat in the cut meat, unlike the pig just now that only had red meat, which also attracted many people's drool.
"A fat pig, just castrated to raise such a fatten?" Ma Ye was also surprised to see the dissected appearance of the fat pig at this time, this is probably the fattest pig he has seen in most of his life.
"Of course, you can't just rely on castration, and you usually have to feed some fattening things, such as almost all the leftovers at home go into this pig's belly!" Li Xiu smiled, castration only makes it possible for this pig to grow fatter, the most important thing is to feed and captive, with nutrition and less exercise, you can't get fat.
"I said why is this pig so fat, it turns out that you are opening a small stove for it, and most people don't even have enough food to eat, where are there any leftovers?" Ma Ye couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, he felt that Li Xiu was lying.
"Uncle Ma, this is just to better show the effect of castration, as long as the castrated pig eats more things that can grow fat, it will naturally become as fat as it is now, but if there is no castrated pig, even if you let it eat delicacies every day, it may not be able to grow like this!" Li Xiu retorted unconvinced when he heard this, the pigs that are not castrated are too active, and when they are full, they not only run around, but also the ordinary pigsty can't be encircled at all.
"Then what can a castrated pig grow like if it only eats grass and has nothing to eat?" Ma Ye didn't bother with Li Xiu about this issue, but asked again.
"There is a pig in the Zhuangzi that is fed like this, only grazing and occasionally eating some wheat bran, although it is not as fat as the one just killed, it is still much stronger than the first one." Li Xiu also smiled at this time, and fortunately he has incomparable prestige in Zhuangzi, and the tenants in Zhuangzi are not short of those pork money, so he can make Li Xiu so "nonsense".
"I see, then I'm relieved." Ma Ye finally nodded when he heard this, he was worried that others would not be able to achieve the effect of the pig in front of him after castrating the pig, and he would ruin Li Xiu's reputation, but now it seems that he is too worried.
Li Xiu and Ma Ye were talking in front, but Wednesday Liang behind them had been staring at the second slaughtered pig excitedly, although this was the fruit of someone else's labor, but he also had his participation, and it was also a very critical part, so he also felt extremely proud at this time, this feeling was something he had never experienced in his life.
The old rule of killing pig rice, pig water and not easy to divide the leftovers are thrown into the cauldron to cook, and the best fat meat is also cut off and cooked separately, most of which are distributed to those old people, which is part of filial piety, and there is still a bowl left, Liu Lao Da served it to Li Xiu, but Li Xiu has never liked fatty meat, so he pointed to Ma Ye, although he is the master, but Ma Ye is the highest person in their group.
Ma Ye never knew how to be polite, and took this bowl of fat and ate a few large pieces in a row, and Li Xiu next to him felt tired of panicking when he looked at it, but Ma Ye ate it with relish. However, he suddenly stopped halfway through eating, and casually handed the bowl to Wednesday Liang behind him: "Here, this meat also has your share of credit, how about tasting it?" ”
"Ah~" Wednesday Liang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and hurriedly excused himself, "Xiao...... The villain doesn't dare! ”
"Let you eat, what does mother-in-law do?" Ma Ye is a fiery character, and he directly said in a commanding tone, but against people like Wednesday Liang, Ma Ye's commanding tone can have an effect, but I saw that Wednesday Liang didn't dare to say anything at all, and immediately reached out to take it, and then ate it under Ma Ye's gaze, but the circles under the eyes of Ma Ye turned red, and Li Xiu felt that it was probably the reason why the fat was too delicious.
Li Xiu and Ma Ye's status is too high, staying here will only make Liu Boss and these tenants feel uncomfortable, so they left after dividing the pork, according to his prior instructions, Liu Lao will take out some wine and chat with these fathers and villagers, and then pretend to be drunk and then reveal the secret of the castration, then the surrounding Zhuangzi will definitely scramble to invite Wednesday Liang to castrate, and when the gelding pig produces results, this method will naturally spread slowly.
After returning home, Li Xiu handed over the pork to Yuechan and instructed her to cook a few dishes, among which he specially asked for a front elbow and instructed Yuechan to make a Daodongpo elbow, which was Li Xiu's favorite in his previous life, but unfortunately it should not be eaten often, after all, it is too greasy, and eating too much is not only easy to gain weight, but also not good for the body.
After the dish was ready, Li Xiu and Ma Ye set up a table in the garden, and the two chatted while eating, and soon talked about the honeycomb coal that had just been listed, so Ma Ye said very excitedly: "Boy, haven't you seen the grand occasion after our honeycomb coal is listed, nearly half of the charcoal shops in Chang'an are closed, and every household is rushing to buy our honeycomb coal, and our honeycomb coal workshop is open day and night, but this is still not enough for the shops in the city to sell, and the others are similar. I guess our honeycomb coal workshop needs to be expanded. ”
"Hehe, it's okay to expand, but Uncle Ma, you should also pay attention, now that the weather is cold, the demand for honeycomb coal is naturally large, but after the beginning of spring, the demand for honeycomb coal will definitely drop, and then the scale of the workshop is too large, and the output is too high." Li Xiu kindly reminded at this time.
"Don't worry, I have a spectrum in my heart, and we have discussed it, even if the expansion of the workshop is planned in advance!" Ma Ye laughed loudly when he heard this, he has led the troops for so many years, and he still understands the truth of planning in advance.
Li Xiu nodded reassuringly when he heard this, and then he suddenly said with some curiosity: "Uncle Ma, which companies have you found to partner in the honeycomb coal business, are they reliable or not?" ”
Li Xiu is a lazy person, he came up with the idea of honeycomb coal, and he usually helps Ma Ye with some small business ideas, such as the publicity methods when he opened, but for other things, Li Xiu is too lazy to ask, and even the business partners that Ma Ye is looking for are not very clear.
"Don't worry, the people I'm looking for are either trustworthy or powerful, such as the princess's sisters, in addition to some powerful people in the court, and even I have been to Pei Lian's mansion, but that old slippery head was stared at by everyone, and he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he gave up this good opportunity to make money." Ma Ye laughed again when he heard Li Xiu's words, this time it was thanks to the joint efforts of his business partners that he had smashed the charcoal industry controlled by those families in one fell swoop.
"Then I'll be relieved." Li Xiu also nodded at this time, now that honeycomb coal has been accepted by most people, the next thing is to make that kind of heating stove with exhaust pipe, and he doesn't have to worry about this matter, Ma Ye They also specially built a few new furnace workshops for this purpose, and people who have the power and are not short of money are indeed easy to do.
But at this moment, Ma Ye suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Boy, among those people who partner with me, there is one person who is very interested in you, and there is something I want to ask you for, so I want to see you." (To be continued.) )
