Chapter 43 It’s time to start raising pigs



[The plot states that after our nation was destroyed, the Emperor of Sang made overtures to the barbarians, hoping that the two countries could stop for negotiations, and the barbarians readily agreed.]

[The two countries trade with each other, and the barbarians have become the best allies of the Sang Kingdom. They are the real ones to help if anything goes wrong.]

Qin Yuanhao:!!

No, he had to develop agriculture quickly and then arrange people to negotiate with the barbarians.

[Now that I think about it, it feels like I have a lot of things to do. I’m still a baby!]

[Speaking of Manzi, I really miss roasted whole lamb, roasted lamb legs, and lamb soup. Is there no chef who can make such delicious food?]

[Be sure to use a young lamb, quickly blanch it in boiling water, then marinate it with scallions, ginger slices, salt, soy sauce, and sugar color for at least three hours. This way, the lamb will be fragrant when roasted.]

[Be sure to use good charcoal when grilling, and keep turning it over during grilling. It is best to grill it for a full hour, until the sheepskin turns golden brown.]

[Add some grilled skewers, various vegetables, fruits, and meats, and the deliciousness is unimaginable.]

Qin Yuanhao swallowed silently. It's not like he had never eaten roasted lamb before, but the taste was too strong and he didn't like it very much.

But why is it that every time the little princess describes food, it sounds so exciting?

The Concubine Chen noticed that the father and daughter looked so greedy, as if they were cast from the same mold, so she quickly called Liuying over and whispered a few words to them.

When dinner started, Qin Zhenzhen realized it was not in the usual restaurant, but in the garden.

[Wow, there really is roasted whole lamb, this is so delicious! ]

【Why do I still smell alcohol? 】

Concubine Chen asked Liuying to serve the wine. "Your Majesty, this is the plum blossom wine I brewed at home. Please try it."

"Yao'er, how many more surprises do you have waiting for me?" Qin Yuanhao took a sip of the wine. "I didn't expect Yao'er to be so good at brewing wine. It's really good."

[When I grow up, I want to drink the wine brewed by my mother.]

[Hey, hey, why haven't you started eating this kebab yet? It's most fun to grill this stuff yourself.]

[Sprinkle with cumin, salt, and chili powder if you have any, but it's okay if you don't. Make sure to add a layer of oil.]

When Qin Yuanhao heard what the little princess said, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and actually started grilling skewers himself.

Then, as the little princess said, sprinkle the seasonings on it while grilling.

[There's actually cumin powder. This must have been tribute from other countries. If we could produce it ourselves, I think the people would be able to eat it too.]

[Hey, there's only lard. People don't even eat much pork, let alone lard. No wonder they look so pale and skinny. It's because there's no oil.]

[I remembered, there was a skill book about pigs before, I almost forgot about it, let me take a look.]

If you want to increase pig production, you must start with the breeding stock. You must also pay attention to the postpartum care of the sows and their mental state. The piglets must be castrated in a timely manner...

While Qin Yuanhao was grilling skewers, he kept the little princess' words in mind.

But this pig farming also includes postpartum care for sows and castration of piglets.

This asked him to explain to his ministers.

Otherwise, just put the blame on the late emperor.

Not right, not right.

[Our Great Qin pigs are not castrated, and their smell is strong, so the people are not willing to eat them. Naturally, few people raise them. As long as you can raise pigs according to the methods in the skill book, the pigs will not have that unpleasant smell, and the pig production will also increase dramatically.]

[It would also boost our Great Qin's economy, and selling this pork to the barbarians would be a great benefit.]

[Even better, we can sell them all over the world. Every pig will have our Daqin logo on it. This is a pig that is unique to Daqin.]

"Hiss..." Qin Yuanhao was not paying attention for a moment and was burned by the rolled-up charcoal fire.

Does the Qin Dynasty have to have this pig?

Zhou Mian was shocked and scared and didn't dare to speak.

Your Majesty's kebabs seem to be getting burnt.

[Dad, my dear dad, your skewers are already cooked. If you grill them any further, they will get burnt.]

Qin Yuanhao quickly handed the skewers in his hand to Zhou Mian, motioning him to try it.

It’s almost messed up, so I can’t give it to the Concubine Chen first.

"Yao'er, just sit there holding Zhenzhen, and I'll roast her."

The concubine nodded obediently, sat on the stone table, picked up the roasted lamb and put it into her mouth.

My eyes lit up instantly. The mutton had no taste at all, only the aroma of roasting. It was not difficult to bite, but it felt more fragrant the more I chewed.

She tried the mutton soup again. It was so delicious and fragrant that she liked it even better than the roasted lamb.

"Your Majesty, please don't bother for now. This barbecue is delicious."

Zhou Mian prepared himself mentally and took a bite of the mutton skewers. His expression changed from cautious to surprised in seconds.

"Your Majesty, this mutton kebab is so fragrant. It doesn't have that unbearable smell."

[It smells delicious. It would be even better if it had enough seasoning. After all, everything can be grilled.]

[The majority of Daqin's people now raise chickens, but the number of chickens is not stable enough, and chicken plagues occur from time to time.]

Yes, there's also African swine fever. Even in the future, it's been imported from other countries, ravaging our pig population. Fortunately, if there's a shortage of pigs, the country will use its reserves, and specialized institutions will raise pigs, and there's also fresh frozen pork.

[Don't mention it, this method is really good. It can deal with national emergencies, balance the rise in pork prices, and prevent social unrest.]

This method is actually similar to stockpiling food. We should not only stockpile food, but also stockpile useful food and animals.

Qin Yuanhao handed the roasted lamb to Concubine Chen while listening.
