Chapter 542 Killing Pigs?

Chapter 542 542. Killing pigs?

In fact, the quality of the rush this year is unusually good, so good that Song Youde has never seen it in all these years.

However, it is often difficult to tell what the things in the field look like, except for careful cultivation and good management. Therefore, everyone was amazed for a while, and no one took it seriously.

Until Song Tan's straw mat was sold for 999 at the cheapest and 1599 at the most expensive...

It's just a straw mat!

This really shocked Old Song, so much so that he was extra cautious when choosing materials to weave straw mats.

Now I regret that I was not too careful when splitting the rush, and a small part of the middle stem was split crooked.

The texture of this stem is slightly hard, and it feels different from the grass leaves when woven. If it is only a thin strand, it can be woven in to enhance toughness.

But some of them are too thick, so I have to split them again and cut off the old stems.

Look, Song Youde grins every time he picks.

When Song Sancheng went to pick them up, there weren't many in the corner, just enough for his arms.

Even so, Song Youde was reluctant to give them up.

If it were normal, he wouldn't have picked them out. If his granddaughter hadn't sold them too expensively, he would have to think about the quality all the time, for fear that others would find faults and scold them for having no conscience...

The old man had this pressure in his heart, and he didn't dare to show off in front of Wang Lifen even though he made a lot of money from weaving straw mats.

It was a good thing he didn't show off, otherwise he would have been forced to be honest after being beaten by the old lady.

Moreover, in previous years, when they weaved straw mats, the rush was originally yellow after being dried, and only after drying it would it bring out some green color without much luster.

Unlike now, even the chopped stems are green and glossy.

…

Song Sancheng didn't think so much.

No matter how green and glossy it is, wouldn't it be used to pave the pigpen? Only their family is so frugal.

It was hot, and several pigs were looking for places to sleep under the shade of trees on the hillside. They rarely returned to the pigsty except for eating.

Every night, the ground of the pigsty had to be flushed with a hose to remove heat, and there was no straw underneath.

However, with 7 pigs and such a small bundle of grass, Song Sancheng looked at it and found that it was not enough to cover the sleeping space, which was extremely cramped.

But that was all.

He didn't care, but several pigs immediately cried when they saw someone, and their stomachs were like bottomless pits. Song Sancheng casually shook the rushes evenly inside, and turned around to pour another bucket of water in.

However, in just a moment, two slightly smaller wild boars stood up from the shade of the tree and rushed into the pigsty with their feet shaking.

When he brought the water over, he found that the rushes just laid on the ground were being chewed by several pigs...

Song Sancheng was stunned and subconsciously wanted to go in: -

I don't know if this grass can be eaten, I have to stop them quickly!

But take another look!

Well, there are only half-broken remnants on the ground, and not a complete one can be seen. What is there to stop? Eat if you like.

After staring at it for a while, he suddenly realized: This pig... is it not growing a little bit right?

It's too big, isn't it? !

There are two large white pigs at home. This kind of pig grows fast. By the end of the year, it may be 300 kilograms - of course, it must be raised scientifically.

What is scientific raising?

Locked in a pen, eating every day, no room to move, and feed more fat and nutrition...

In this way, some breeds of pigs can weigh more than 300 kilograms a year!

For large white pigs like theirs, 300 kilograms is also possible.

But their pigs run all over the mountains and fields every day. When it rains, they can dig a mud pit by themselves. They exercise enough every day... Where can they get so much fat?

But even these pigs have been raised for 6 months now, but the big white pigs look like they are more than 200 pounds, fat and strong, much fatter than the pigs he remembered when he was a child!

When the brigade raised pigs decades ago, this pig alone had to be carried to the county for exhibition!

He looked at the ladle in his hand again - every day, they only added some wheat bran and rice bran, and the rest were all leftovers, wild vegetables, water plants in the pond, and some broken old pumpkins...

This is not a fat thing!

Looking at the three black pigs bought back, their physique is obviously smaller, but their whole body looks tight, and their four hooves are particularly powerful when they step on the ground.

Although they don’t look fat, this weight is definitely not less.

There are also the last two wild boars who entered the venue. Their physique is even smaller. At this moment, they are rushing around the mountain, chewing the broken rushes in their mouths and pushing each other. If they have two taels of fat, they will run away like this...

But, is the strength too great?

When he hit the tree, the whole tree trembled as if it was about to break...

...

When he went home and muttered this, his seventh cousin couldn't help but be greedy: "So, you said, the pig is already 200 kilograms, why don't you kill one first?"

Nothing else, just the big white pig.

There is a lot of fat, when the time comes, cut off a piece of lard and put it in the pan and stir-fry it vigorously until the lard residue is crispy and fragrant, and then sprinkle a little salt on it...

Oh my! It must be so delicious!

Song Sancheng:...Slurp.

Pour the oil and wait until it solidifies into white. Scoop a spoonful every time you cook...

Don't mention it, cooking with lard, especially cooking vegetables, is so delicious! Lard residue can also be used for cooking and stewing, and can also be used to make dumplings...

But now the pig is only 200 kilograms. What if I raise it a little more, can it really be 300 kilograms by the end of the year?

"No, no, it's not worth eating now."

He turned around and suggested: "Don't we still have soybeans? I'll take them to the town to get soybean oil. It must be delicious."

The seventh cousin glanced at him and said: "The chestnut orchard has less than three acres of soybeans. How much can we harvest from three acres of soybeans? A family would eat half a bag of pig's trotters when they stew in a pot. You still want to make oil?"

Song Sancheng: ...

Pigs are not good anyway.

He then suggested: "Don't we still have sesame seeds? Sesame seeds are also good... We can make oil after harvesting them next month. It must be very delicious!"

"Oh my!" The seventh cousin couldn't bear it anymore and started to mock: "Half an acre of sesame seeds can harvest a big pot, and the oil produced by pressing is about 30 to 40 kilograms - what, do you think 30 to 40 kilograms of oil can cook a few dishes?"

Seeing that the seventh cousin was determined, he could only make excuses: "No, no! Experts say that lard is unhealthy and it is easy to get sick if you eat it!"

This made the seventh cousin speechless.

Lard is unhealthy?

He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he saw Guo Dong enter the yard: "Uncle, don't listen to the experts! What's wrong with lard? Lard is healthy!"

"Not only is it healthy, it can also cure diseases! We who study Chinese medicine often use it to cure diseases! And it is very nutritious!"

"The main thing is to be moderate in everything. If you eat thick oil and red sauce every day, even peaches will become sick. This can't be blamed on lard."

After she finished speaking, she reacted: "Hey? Where's Song Tan? Have I dried my golden cherries? I'm waiting for the rice to cook here!"

There is another update that I can't finish tonight, so I'll finish it tomorrow morning.

Lard is really a good thing, and it is super fragrant when cooking. As I said, everything should be moderate.
