Chapter 10: Pigs

Physical training in the morning and standing posture in the afternoon.

As for the evening?

Forget it at night!

Many people in this era are malnourished, and seven or eight out of ten people suffer from night blindness.

I can't train at night, so I'll wait until they're ready.

Though they are full, though they have meat to eat, though they have money to take.

But such boring and arduous training made many bankers unable to stand running.

In half a month, there were thirty people who were driven away by Shi Jin and those who escaped by themselves.

For those who escaped, Shi Jin didn't care.

I can't stand this kind of training, how dare I take them to the battlefield in the future.

Those who are willing to stay, Shi Jin values them very much.

These people will be the tinder, their own henchmen, and an important part of their own army.

If the army is to be expanded in the future, they will be their squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders......

In order to envelop them, three meals a day are not only full, but also two meals of meat a day.

Those who stayed behind saw that Shi Jin was so kind, and they trained even harder.

After exercising like this for a month, many Zhuang Ke, who were originally thin themselves, finally raised some meat from their bodies under the double medicine of food and training.

Although the training volume of the Zhuang Guardian team is less than a quarter of Shi Jin's, it is like this, and their daily food consumption is also amazing.

Especially the meat necessary to replenish energy made Shi Fu, the housekeeper of Shijiazhuang, very heartbroken.

Pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, ducks and geese, these Shijiazhuang are fed, but the number is not much.

Among them, cattle are the treasure of the farm, and it is impossible to slaughter them.

If you eat meat, you need to buy a lot of it.

The monthly money of the banker, plus the food expenses of the banker, is not less than five hundred taels of silver a month.

On this day, Shi Fu approached Shi Jin and said, "Da Lang, their monthly money is already high. And the food you set is too good. It's not okay to go on like this, we can't afford Shijiazhuang! ”

Shi Jin shook his head when he heard it and said, "No, this treatment must not be reduced, otherwise you won't be able to train good soldiers and protect Zhuangzi!" ”

Shi Fu heard and hurriedly persuaded, "Da Lang, which Zhuangzi raised a farmer who has three meals a day and two meals of meat a day." Not to mention meat in other places, being able to eat twice a day is a first-class treatment. The monthly money plus the food expenses will cost five or six hundred taels a month, and Zhuangzi can't support it! ”

Now there are only 70 bankers left, and the monthly money is three hundred and fifty taels. Then the rest of the food will be nearly two hundred taels.

Shi Jin was taken aback when he heard it and said, "Two hundred taels of food? So expensive! ”

"Naturally, Dalang, take a look. And to be honest, the village protection team doesn't need so many people, I think thirty or forty is enough. Then eat three meals a day, and the meat is free. In this way, Zhuangzi can have a lot of money left over to buy the field! Shi Fu took a list and showed it to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin took the list and looked at it, and saw that in addition to coarse grains such as wheat and sorghum, the list also said mutton and dog meat.

Shi Jin asked, "Uncle Fu, are all the mutton and dog meat eaten for the villagers?" ”

Shi Fu heard it and asked suspiciously, "Of course, what else would you eat?" ”

"Why don't you eat pork?"

"Pork!" Shi Fu said in surprise, "Pig feeding is not easier than cattle and sheep, and it often smells bad and is not delicious, except for poor people, otherwise not many people love to eat pork!" ”

Pork feeding trouble? And the smell? Bad?

I remember that in the previous life, when I grew up, my family didn't raise pigs anymore, but that was because it wasn't cost-effective.

When I was a child, my family raised a few fat pigs, and Shi Jin fed them personally.

How can it be troublesome, how can it smell unpalatable?

Shi Jin recalled the memories of this life before he understood.

During the Great Song Dynasty, most people did not know that pigs were going to be castrated, so it was easy to fatten and make the meat more delicious.

Pigs are not better than sheep and cows, and stir-fry has not yet risen, and there are only three kinds of stew, boiling and roasting, which cannot best present the taste of pork.

Therefore, at this time, eating pork has not yet risen, and chicken and mutton are the main meats.

Thinking of this era, the technique of castration pig breeding and stir-frying have not yet emerged.

Shi Jin's eyes lit up, pig raising and restaurants have a head!

Thinking of this, Shi Jin said: "Uncle Fu, ask someone to buy a dozen little piglets and come back!" ”

Shi Fu heard that Shi Jin wanted to buy piglets, and hurriedly said, "Da Lang, what are you doing when you buy piglets?" ”

Shi Jin said with a smile, "Of course it's pig raising, and we'll eat pork in the future!" ”

Shi Fu persuaded, "Pork is really not delicious. ”

Shi Jin shook his head and said, "Uncle Fu, you just go buy it." Am I useful? ”

Joke, who dares to say that pork is not delicious. Pigs are treasures all over their bodies!

Pig kidney, tonify the kidney and fill the essence. Pig bitter gallbladder, auxiliary anti-inflammatory. Pork belly, dissipate accumulation and benefit the stomach. Pig liver, nourishing blood and eye. Pork liver, phlegm and cough. Pork bones, calcium supplement. Pig's trotters, replenish weakness and strengthen the waist. Pig's blood, a good product for iron supplementation. Pig heart, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves.

Bristles, which can be made into brushes, are essential for painting firearms maintenance brushes.

Pork skin, in addition to being made into leather, can be made into dishes such as pork skin jelly and has a beauty and emollient effect.

Shi Jin spoke, no matter how reluctant Shi Fu was, he could only buy it, but he only bought five or six little piglets back.

The eunuch Han Dynasty existed, and it is recorded in the fragments of the "Green Capsule Book" written by Hua Tuo.

It's just that it hasn't been promoted.

The little piglet was bought, and Shi Jin called the butcher in the village to come over.

In this era, if you want to talk about the structure of animals better, that is, the butcher is the most familiar with it.

Under Shi Jin's guidance, the butcher performed castration surgery on the piglets in three or two knives. The operation is called fast and accurate!

After the piglets are castrated, it takes three or two months to see the results.

However, when I saw the pig and thought about the dishes such as sweet and sour pork ribs and braised pork, Shi Jin's gluttony was hooked.

There are a few big pigs in his farm, and the butcher also comes. If you don't slaughter your own internal organs, you're really sorry for yourself.

And he can also invite Shi Taigong to enjoy the delicious food, and he can also dispel Uncle Fu's concerns.

Shi Jin picked the fattest pig from the pig pen and shouted to the butcher, "Slaughter that pig, eat the whole pig feast tonight!" ”

Whole Pig Feast!

The butcher was very surprised that Shi Jialang wanted to eat pork.

Although I was surprised, Da Lang said Zai, then Zaibei!

The butcher neatly tied up the fat pig weighing more than 200 catties with a rope and hung it on a large log, just when he was about to kill the pig with a knife.

Shi Jin shouted, "Don't stab the pig's heart, do as I say." Put the wooden basin under the pig's neck, shave the ground hair in the position to be poked for me first, and don't fall into the basin with blood for a while, then you won't eat your head. ”

The butcher obeyed the order to wash the pig's neck with clean water, then took the sharp knife in his mouth in his hand and plunged it into the pig's neck.

The white knife goes in, and the red knife comes out.

Blood gushed out, and then it fell into the basin in a river.

After a while, the wooden basin was soon filled with pig's blood, and the big fat pig, who was struggling desperately, also died.

The butcher untied the rope with a knife, and then, with the cooperation of the householder, put the pig in boiling water, scalded and shaved.

It didn't take much effort to wash the pigs, and the butcher slaughtered them neatly.

Some liver, the butcher just wanted to throw it aside and take it to feed the dogs.

Shi Jin hurriedly stopped, and then asked the family to throw the internal organs into another wooden basin.

Then on the side, instruct the cook to cut the large intestine, small intestine, and powder intestine respectively, the powder intestine only needs to be washed with water, and the small intestine and large intestine are washed with water first, and then added coarse salt to rub and clean.

By this time, the butcher had already broken down the pigs.

A pile of pork belly, a pile of pork ribs, a pile of pig's trotters, a pile of lean meat, and a pig's head split in half.

After slaughtering, according to the custom, the butcher was given three catties of pork, and then fifty yuan was given as a hardship fee.

As soon as the butcher left, Shi Jin instructed the cook to clean the pork bones quickly, and then threw them all into a large pot and boiled over the fire.

Boil for an hour, add salt, oil, and white radish to make soup.

Half of the pork belly is finely cut into filling, braised lion's head, dumplings, stuffed tofu.

Half of the pork belly is made into braised pork and plum button meat.

Slice lean meat and stir-fry with celery, radish, etc.

At dinner, a plate of dishes was served, watching the stir-fried kidney flower, stir-fried leeks with pork liver, pork offal soup, pork ribs with sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, prune button meat, and stir-fried large intestine with sauerkraut. Dongpo elbow, pig's feet stuffed peanuts, pork ribs stewed lotus root......

Not only was Shi Fu stunned, smelling the aroma and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Those family members were even more drooling.

Shi Taigong looked at the table full of dishes that had never been heard of and seen before, and said, "Da Lang, how did you come up with these dishes!" ”
