The matter wasn't debated for too long. However, some people who had raised pigs at home before would often visit the pigsty to see the pigs. Several of them discussed with her about buying one from her to raise next year, naturally without any money, but they would pay with labor or other means.
She didn't agree immediately, saying she'd talk about it next year. However, she discussed pig-raising experiences with those who had raised pigs before and discovered that people in this dynasty didn't know how to knock pigs down. Without knocking pigs down, the pork would have a gamey smell.
The pigs raised by Song Zhuiyan were all pounded, so they naturally didn't have a muttony smell. Moreover, those pigs could have been slaughtered several months ago, but because of her sudden time travel, she had been raising them.
After raising them for so long, and then not feeding them any more feed, they only ate sweet potato vines and pig feed every day, so the pork naturally tasted better. Although pigs fed with feed grow faster, their pork is actually not very tasty and has a bit of a fishy smell.
Pigs fed with pig feed and dishwater grow slowly, but their pork is very fragrant, and the soup made from it is also very sweet.
But that's not the point. Zhong Qingyi said with some hesitation, "Those piglets don't seem to weigh even thirty pounds." Could it be that they killed the sow and ate the meat?
Of course, Song Zhuiyan couldn't tell him that she had killed a pig weighing about 100 jin (50 catties) that she used to raise in her hometown. She could only bite the bullet and say that she had killed a piglet.
He can't exactly go out of his way to count how many piglets are left, can he?
As for whether he could tell whether it was pork from a small pig or a large, fat pig, so what? She was adamant that it was pork from a small pig.
"Isn't this the New Year? It's freezing cold, and cutting pig feed is tiring. We'll have to slaughter them sooner or later anyway, so what does it matter if they're a little bigger or smaller?" Song Zhuiyan said indifferently.
Many supermarkets sell roast suckling pig, roast whole rabbit, and roast suckling lamb in their deli sections. Zhong Qingyi wouldn't be that saintly, would she?
If you think piglets are so cute, how can you eat them?
