Chen Xuanxuan planned to build a new house after repairing the wall.

However, she was completely broke this year. She had spent all the money she earned from selling sticky rice.

However, if she raised and fattened up the 12 piglets and then sold them in the county town, she should be able to get a huge sum of money.

She asked around and found out that pork, especially the fat and lean pork belly, was 40 wen per catty.

As for other parts of the pig, it was more than 30 wen per catty.

Therefore, if the base price of the live pig she sold was 20 wen per catty, then a 200-jin pig would be worth about 4,000 wen. That is, a full four taels of silver.

There are 12 big fat pigs weighing 200 jin each. If they are all sold, she can get 50 taels of silver.

Since Chen Xuanxuan has carefully calculated this account in front of Gu Yanzhang, Gu Yu'an and Yu,

they all know very well that the most valuable property in the family is not only the precious food, but also the 12 piglets.

Gu Yu'an is a very shrewd person.

He looks at those pigs as if they are some big treasures.

He is not very reassured about those people in the Yu family. He is worried that they are not raising pigs carefully and have not spent time and effort to help their family raise pigs well.

So, from the day he got the 12 little pigs, he ran to the land upstream of Xiaoyue River and slept in those mud houses every day.

He cooked three meals for them every day.

He let the pigs eat well, sleep well and have fun.

Sometimes, Gu Yu'an would sing folk songs for them.

Sometimes, he would make fish soup for the pigs and add dishes to them.

Gu Yu'an served the pigs as if he was serving his ancestors, with special care.

And Chen Xuanxuan also began to try to make the kind of pig feed for fattening pigs at home.

Chen Xuanxuan knew that many farmers in modern society would buy special pig feed, which was mainly corn flour made from corn stalks and corn kernels.

In addition, a lot of things are added to the corn flour. For example, sweet potato flour, taro flour, alfalfa, bean flour, and bone flour. There are also some other additives.

Some unscrupulous people will feed the pigs with clenbuterol. And some other messy chemicals.

In this ancient society, clenbuterol is not welcome. Because if a pig wants to be sold at a high price, it must have a lot of fat.

Because the lower-class farmers like to eat that kind of fat.

Eating those greasy and oily fat in big mouthfuls, they feel that their lives are happy.

They are people who do not eat oil all year round.

During festivals, they can eat a meal of greasy meat. They will bring this up all year long and tell all kinds of people about it.

Because they really have a special feeling for fat meat.

Some people think about eating meat every day, and what they really want to eat is that kind of fat meat.

Thinking of the pigs in their own family, they must be raised fat, not thin. Chen Xuanxuan repeatedly told Gu Yu'an that the pigs must eat more and sleep more. They cannot be allowed to run out and exercise all day long.

The meat on the wild boars in the sports field is mainly that kind of lean meat.

Modern people who eat too much greasy fat meat don't like fat meat very much. However, the lower-class people in ancient times were completely different.

They actually didn't like wild boar meat, which didn't have much fat on it.

Gu Yu'an also kept in mind all the things that Chen Xuanxuan had told him.

So, he fed the pigs all kinds of food all day long.

Seeing the pigs lying on the dry grass to sleep after eating, Gu Yu'an felt an indescribable sense of peace in his heart.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuanxuan was at home making the fermented feed.

She bought the old grains, and after careful consideration, she killed all the bugs inside, added the yeast, and then put it into a big barrel. After covering the barrel with several layers of sorghum leaves, she covered it again.

The temperature in September was still quite high. After Chen Xuanxuan's tossing and turning, the things she had made before smelled of alcohol.

Chen Xuanxuan actually didn't know how to do this at the beginning, but she bought a booklet on how to raise pigs on the Qionghehe app.

She followed the steps in the booklet step by step.

She also didn't know whether the pig feed she made with a strong smell of alcohol could be eaten? Would the pigs have any side effects after eating it?

However, she felt that if she wanted to make more money, she should take some risks.

After re-boiled the pig feed that smelled of alcohol, she asked her husband, Gu Yanzhang, to drive a donkey cart and take the bucket of pig feed over.

The piglets couldn't just eat the pig feed. Something had to be added to it when it was cooked.

After Gu Yanzhang brought the things over, he followed Chen Xuanxuan's instructions and added a lot of things to the food that smelled of alcohol. Then put them all in a pot and cook them together.

After they are cooked, start feeding the pigs. When

they are full, they start to doze off.

Those little pigs are like this every day, and before they know it, they start to gain weight.

This is the first time that Chen Xuanxuan has raised pigs in her two lifetimes.

Chen Xuanxuan has always felt uneasy about the way she raises pigs.

She heard from Gu Yanzhang that those little pigs have gained weight without them noticing, and their weight has increased rapidly recently. She was really worried, so she went to check it out in person at noon one day.

She found that those little pigs were indeed gaining weight. The little pigs that used to weigh only a few pounds now weigh more than 30 pounds. Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but laugh.

Because she suddenly thought of this: in modern society, men who like to eat, drink, and don't like to think about things actually have this body type!

Men who like to drink and eat for free are most likely to gain weight.

The reason why the 12 piglets she raised were so fat must be because there was a lot of alcohol in the cooked food.

When she thought about her own pigs, she might really make a fortune. Chen Xuanxuan smiled and said, "Okay, our pigs are really well raised."

"As long as we continue to raise them so carefully in the next year, we will definitely have a big harvest next winter!"

With expectations for the future, Gu Yanzhang's family was particularly happy and satisfied.

And Gu Yu'an took better care of the 12 piglets.
