Chapter 157: Pig-raising craze in the village



Chen Xuanxuan thought that she had to think of a way. Make those people in the village shut up. Otherwise, her father-in-law would start urging her to give birth as soon as he got the chance.

It would be fine if he urged his grandson's wife to give birth to a son, but he would drag her into it every time...

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanxuan finished her breakfast and started to pull Gu Yanzhang to the upper reaches of Xiaoyue River.

There, her three big sows gave birth to dozens of fat piglets at the beginning of this spring.

These piglets, like their pig father, have all black hair. When they were feeding, they kept humming in their mouths.

Because the Gu family raised pigs very well and earned a lot of money, their family had a great year. This year, in Gujiagang and Chenjia Village, those who are a little bit ambitious and want to make more money and live a good life have such an idea.

That is to raise a few pigs at home!

Those villagers used to worry that the pigs they raised at home would not survive, or that the pigs would be infected with swine fever. However, as long as they think of the Gu family raising more than 10 pigs, all of which are well raised and fat, they will say, "Why can't my family raise pigs if they can raise them?"

Therefore, those who have a little idea have recently gone to the Gu family and look at the piglets here every day.

They plan to buy one and raise it at home.

After raising one, you can kill it and sell it in late autumn next year.

A big fat pig weighing four or five hundred kilograms can earn more than ten taels of silver!

So raising pigs has a future.

Since a piglet costs 500 coins. Some poor families who can't even support their own people can only come here every day to enjoy the sight.

And some people save money and choose here and there in the yard. It took them nearly half a month to save the money to buy pigs and take home the pigs they liked.

Of course, all these more than 40 piglets were cooked by Gu Yanzhang himself.

Chen Xuanxuan was also among them, quietly showing off her skills.

Because there were no antibiotics available for people and animals in ancient times. So, if you got sick, you got sick, and you had to rely on yourself. How could ordinary poor people afford to take those small packets of Chinese medicine that cost a few taels of silver?

So, the pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks, etc. here can only wait to die if they get sick. There is no way to cure it.

But the situation in Chen Xuanxuan's family is completely different.

Because she wholesaled a whole pound of antibiotics on the Qiongheihei app.

She cooked that stuff directly in the pig food.

Sows, boars, including her two donkeys and five ducks, are now eating it.

Sometimes, she also used the anti-parasitic drug produced by the Qiongheihei app on them.

That is the albendazole tablets she was secretly taking some time ago.

Although her whole family eats animal food, this stuff works.

Not long after eating, Chen Xuanxuan found that the whole family had worms in their stool. Chen Xuanxuan

had discovered that because rural people don't pay much attention to hygiene, and they are not very careful about what they eat, almost everyone has roundworms, hookworms and so on.

Because these parasites are so common, many people feel hungry again within less than an hour after eating.

Moreover, they like to grind their teeth when they sleep. No

matter how much they eat, their faces are still yellow. There is not much meat growing on their bodies. They always look malnourished.

...

Because Chen Xuanxuan gave the whole family and the animals they raised some deworming medicine and antibiotics from time to time, they all got better visibly.

At least, the whole family gained weight.

Their faces also had a rosy glow.

And the pigs, big and small, were all fat and full of life.

Therefore, anyone who bought a piglet from Gu's family would secretly say that Gu's family was very good at raising pigs.

They all felt that it was a good deal to spend 500 coins to buy a pig from him.

“Hey, how is your piglet? Has it eaten?”

“Hahaha, it has. It eats well!”

In order to make more money, many families in Gujiagang hold their piglets every day.

Some people even treat their piglets as their own grandchildren.

When acquaintances meet, the first question they ask is not “Have you eaten?” but “How is your piglet?”

Because everyone knows that if piglets are raised well, they can make a lot of money. Therefore, most people here regard pigs as the most important property of their families.

Some people even think that pigs are more important than the fields that can feed them.

After the pig-raising craze started in Gujiagang and Chenjiacun, Chen Xuanxuan started another small business with her family.

They sent the sausages made by their family last fall to the county town to sell little by little. After

a winter of smoking and roasting, the sausages became very attractive in color.

Since the seasoning and the whole process of sausage stuffing were all done by Chen Xuanxuan herself, so far, no one else in the Gu family knows how to make sausages...

Chen Xuanxuan now eats sausage glutinous rice every day.

There is also sausage pot rice.

The carefully smoked sausages are very fragrant whether they are braised or roasted, or stir-fried in a pot.

It can be said that every time Chen Xuanxuan made sausages at home, the whole Gujiagang, including the people of Chenjia Village, almost every household could smell it.

Because this fragrance is really too fragrant.

What's more, the people of Gujiagang and Chenjia Village are farmers themselves.

In this era, how could farmers eat meat every day? !

Slightly richer farmers, for example, small landlords with dozens of acres of land, can only eat meat once or twice a year.

Not to mention those poor families with only a few acres of thin land.

There are still many poor families in Gujiagang.

They don't smell meat all year round. Now, since the beginning of spring, the delicious smell of meat wafts out of Gu Yanzhang's yard every day. So when it's time to eat, people in this village basically hold a broken bowl and sneak to the vicinity of Gu Yanzhang's house. There, they smell the strong smell of sausages while eating the porridge in their hands with a pale face.

Porridge, they eat porridge every day.

And there is no oil, no salt, no meaty smell. There is no fragrance at all.

Huhu is made of various old grains, such as last year's beans, grass roots dug last year, and moldy old rice bought in the county town... They are casually mixed together, put into the pot, add a few spoons of water, and simmer directly.
