Jing Tian remembered that in his previous life, he saw that in the cultural relics unearthed in the Han Dynasty, there were already records of raising domestic pigs, but why did almost no one raise pigs in Taihe Township?

"Hey!" Because of the awkwardness of the morning, Jing Tian inexplicably brought some temper when he spoke to Chen Liang. "Why is it that there are almost no pork sellers? Do you know? ”

Chen Liang was a little helpless about Jing Tian's little awkwardness, but he still raised a gentle smile and told Jing Tian the reason, his tone seemed to be coaxing a child.

It turned out that among the six animals of this era, that is, "horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs", pork was the meat with the lowest status. Since some people have raised domestic pigs, pork has been disliked by people because of the unpleasant smell in the meat. Only the poor and lowly will raise pigs to eat pork as a last resort, and even the common people with decent families rarely eat pork on the table.

Why? Could it be that the pork eaten in the previous life has undergone some special treatment?

When it was time to go back, Jing Tian's whole person was immersed in contemplation, but she almost searched the almighty Baidu and WeChat circle of friends, but still found nothing.

After visiting the markets throughout the county, there was no one selling pork. It wasn't until in a relatively remote corner of the scatter where wild things were sold that Jing Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. Although those black guys were covered in mud, Jing Tian still recognized the "second senior brothers" she had been thinking about for a long time at a glance.

"Little brother, how do you sell these pigs?" Jing Tian didn't care about the unpleasant smell here, and stepped forward to ask excitedly.

The seller was a thin man, wearing a linen cardigan, and his body was stained with black mud in several places. He saw that Jing Tian was just a little girl, so he was a little lazy to take care of it: "Little girl, this is not a place for you to play, this is a wild boar, and it is crazy to hit people." Go and go, don't be here, I'll be hurt for a while, but don't ask me Zhu Lao Er to lose money. ”

Wild boar? Are you kidding? The one that Chen Liang called a few days ago is a wild boar! Jing Tian said: "Wild boars have big fangs, and there are long and hard manes on their heads, you are clearly a domestic pig!" ”

"Nonsense! I'm a wild boar! You little girl don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Zhu Laoer, who was exposed, seemed to be a little angry. An uncle next to him sighed and said, "Second brother, forget it!" Nobody wants these pigs. At the beginning, the big guys advised you not to raise pigs, but you didn't listen...... Alas......"

Zhu Lao Er seemed to have been poked in the sad place, and squatted behind the stall with his head in his hands. It's been several days, and none of these pigs have been sold. His daughter-in-law was sick and waited for the money to buy medicine, but the money in the family asked him to buy pig seedlings.

Hey? The situation in front of him made Jing Tian a little confused, as for it?

The uncle was also a good person, and when he saw that Jing Tian was still standing in front of the stall, he looked puzzled, so he opened his mouth and persuaded: "Little girl, go quickly!" It doesn't smell good either. The second child is not aimed at you, his family is sick, waiting to sell the pig to buy medicine. ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Jing Tian thought of the situation that Chen Liang had introduced to him, and suddenly understood a little, and said with a smile: "I'm here to buy pigs today!" Little brother, how many do you want to sell? How much is the price? ”

The little brother named Zhu Lao Er felt like a pie falling from the sky and hitting him, and he was a little at a loss with excitement. In the end, with the help of that enthusiastic uncle, the price of two little piglets was set for a penny of silver.
