Chapter 485: [Ten Thousand Butchers]

……

The courtyard of the Wang family is a mansion more than ten acres wide, located in the middle of the Wangjiazhuang. Now this large mansion courtyard is only inhabited by Gui'e and a few subordinates. To the east of the house is a dilapidated building area, full of low houses, some of which are still covered with straw, and the wind is afraid that the roof will be blown away.

The Wang family Zhuangzi is so simple, outside the main family's house and tenant area, there is a large field.

Gui'e took Li Chengqian around the fields, did not enter the tenant residential area, only took a few glances at the periphery, and then returned to the courtyard of the Wang family.

"You farmers here seem to grow too monotonous. Beyond a large patch of wheat, there is an acre or two of vegetables, and there is nothing else! Li Chengqian shook his head and said.

Li Chengqian didn't know much about farming, but when he saw the houses where the Wang family's peasants lived, he knew that their economy was very poor. If you can't get rid of poverty and become rich, you can't bring them income in this field!

Regarding Li Chengqian's theory, Gui'e did not get angry when she heard it, but looked at Li Chengqian with great interest, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Master Li, then how do you think this field can be planted?" ”

Now Li Chengqian, in Gui'e's eyes, is a powerful person who has a way and can conjure up ingenious tools.

Hearing that Li Chengqian had opinions about their farming methods, she suddenly thought that Li Chengqian had a new and good farming method, so she looked at him expectantly.

Li Chengqian didn't have much experience in farming, but he knew that if he wanted to make a fortune, he had to cater to the market. What the market needs and what it lacks. Just plant whatever you grow, so that what you grow can go into the market and be sold. It's much better to be able to make money than to keep planting a few acres of wheat!

"Food must be planted in the fertile land, this cannot be changed, if it is changed to other crops, then the government will come to the door to arrest people!" Gui'e reminded Li Chengqian, "But Master Li's statement is good, if you plant a few pieces of poor land with what Chang'an lacks, then selling them can make the tenants make a few bucks!" ”

Oh, didn't think about what to plant in this field. The government has to take care of it! However, Gui Gui'e did not directly deny Li Chengqian's words, and she also thought of using poor land to grow cash crops, which was also clever.

But seeing that she thought about it for a long time, she didn't say anything again, and her good-looking eyebrows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and she knew that she lacked market research, so she might not be able to come up with such a fantasy!

"There's no urgency about this, I'll go to Chang'an in the future and see what is not sold and there are people who want to buy it everywhere. That's it. Li Chengqian said, he thought of something at this time, and said: "Yesterday I saw the eggs of the big peasant brothers to thank me, these eggs must be very expensive." Then you can mobilize your tenants to raise hens together, lay eggs, and sell them for money! ”

That's all he said. Seeing Gui'e's face slightly embarrassed, Li Chengqian knew what she had in mind. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that eggs are given less, but just ......"

"Well, it's me who is thinking about it, Master Li is not such a person!" Gui'e smiled. She asked: "It's just that raising chickens consumes too much food, and raising one or two at home is just outside to find food, that's okay, if you raise seven or eight, then you have to feed them at home, so that there is not much food at home, how can you be willing to be eaten by chickens?" ”

"Who said that chickens should be fed grain, I have a way to raise chickens, I ......," Li Chengqian thought of a TV program he had watched before about raising chickens, and said.

When Gui'e heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at him expectantly.

At this time, a loud voice sounded outside the door: "Mrs. Wang, Wan Long has sent pork to your family!" ”

When Li Chengqian heard this voice, he stopped and turned his head to look at the door. Gui'e also turned her head to look out.

Seeing a big man at the door, wearing a black coarse cloth shirt, sleeves, and clothes around his waist, you can see the greasy smoothness, it seems that this is a butcher who kills pigs. ‘

When Li Chengqian was in the East Palace before, it was very difficult to eat a piece of pork, and then he fought hard to hit his head against the wall before he could eat pork. But in that struggle, it was already known that the Tang Dynasty people had a strange opinion of this pork, and they thought that the nobles could not eat pork, and that only the commoners would eat pork.

Pork is so delicious that it is despised?

Li Chengqian was very strange about this idea, but after seeing the live pig, he understood.

Scientists say that pigs are the most clean animals, but they are not clean by nature, in addition to environmental problems and man-made reasons. The pigs raised by modern farmers are all stolen to death, let alone the backward ancient Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, whoever has seen the live pigs of the Tang Dynasty will have no appetite for pork.

Because of this, Li Chengqian has reduced the number of times he eats pork.

But this is only the second reason, there is a more important reason: the ancient pigs were all black!

That's right, after Li Chengqian came to Datang, he didn't even see a white pig, the pigs were all black!

This is a particularly strange thing, how can there be no white pigs, there are so many white pigs in modern times, aren't they left in history, even Zhu Bajie on TV is so white and cute, there was no one in the Tang Dynasty?

If Li Chengqian can flip through the original book of Journey to the West, he will actually find that Zhu Bajie is not a white pig, but a black pig. It's not that Wu Chengen wants to demonize Zhu Bajie, but that the pigs of his era are also black. And the white pig "seems" to enter China at the end of the Qing Dynasty. I won't say much about the historical knowledge here.

Anyway, Li Chengqian couldn't find a white pig, so he couldn't eat it when he saw that the pigskin on the table was black, not to mention those Tang Dynasty nobles who were born with an aversion to pigs.

Now that I hear that this 10,000 butchers are coming to deliver pork, it seems that the Wang family often eats pork!

Gui'e next to her heard Wan Long's voice, her face was slightly embarrassed, why didn't this Wan Long have any eyes at all, there were distinguished guests here, and he actually shouted out like this. Not only did they stop discussing the new chicken raising law, but also let Li Chengqian know about the Wang family's pork eating, which was really a shame!

When Gui E and the two didn't make a sound, Wan Long came uninvited, walked in from the door, wiped his oily and black hands on his clothes, smiled at Gui E, and then looked at Li Chengqian with some hostility.

"Ten thousand butchers, you have worked hard, drink a bowl of water!" Gui'e's face returned to calm and said to Wan Long.

"Thank you, ma'am." He pointed at Li Chengqian and asked, "Who is this?" Is it a new tenant? ”

Gui'e introduced Li Chengqian's identity to Wan Long, and also told him about yesterday's water windmill, and there was a look of praise for Li Chengqian in her tone.

This made Wan Long very dissatisfied, and said: "We are very grateful that Master Li came to our Wangjiazhuang to help, but if this is known by the great butler Zhu of Huangzhuang, it will not be good." If you think that Master Li was kicked out by Butler Zhu, you can come to my Bandung as an apprentice, and you can live by killing pigs! ”
