Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 542 542. Killing Pigs?

In fact, the quality of rush grass this year is exceptionally good, so good that Song Youde has never seen it in all these years.

However, apart from intensive cultivation and careful management, there is often uncertainty about what the things in the field look like.So everyone was amazed for a while, and no one took it seriously.

Until Song Tan, the cheapest straw mat sold at 999, and the most expensive at 1599...

It's just a straw mat!
This really shocked Lao Song, so that he was extra cautious when choosing materials to weave straw mats.

Now I regret that I was not too careful when splitting the rush, and a small part of the stem in the middle was split crookedly.

The texture of this stalk is a bit hard, and it doesn't feel the same as a blade of grass when weaved. If there is only a thin thread, it can be woven into it to enhance its toughness.

But it was a little rough, so I had to cut it again to cut off the old stalk.

No, Song Youde grinned every time he picked something.

When Song Sancheng went to hug him, there were actually not many in the corner, just a bundle with his arms closed.

For this, Song Youde was still a little bit reluctant.

In normal times, it would be impossible to pick them out. If it wasn't for the fact that his granddaughter sells things so expensively that he can only think about the quality all the time, he is afraid that others will find faults and scold them for not being conscientious...

With this pressure in his heart, the old man made a lot of money weaving straw mats, but he didn't dare to show it off in front of Wang Lifen.

It's also fortunate that he didn't show off, otherwise he would be forced to be honest if he was beaten by the old lady.

What's more, in the past when they weaved straw mats, the rush rushes were originally yellow after drying, and only when they were dried did they show some dull blue color.

It's not like today, even the cut off stems are greasy green.

...

Song Sancheng didn't think so much.

No matter how green and oily it is, isn’t that the rest of the pigsty?That's why their family is so frugal.

It was hot, and several pigs were all over the hillside looking for a place to lie down under the shade of the trees, and they didn't go back to the pigsty very much except when eating.

The floor of the pigsty has to be washed with a water pipe every night to remove the heat, and there is no straw underneath.

However, with 7 pigs and such a small bundle of grass, Song Sancheng looked at it, and found that there was not enough room to sleep, and it was extremely cramped.

But that's all.

He didn't pay attention, but the pigs screamed immediately when they saw someone, their stomachs were like a bottomless pit.Song Sancheng shook the rush rush inside casually, and turned his head to pour another bucket of water into it.

However, in just a short while, two wild boars with slightly smaller stature stood up from the shade of the tree, and rushed into the pigsty with jerky steps.

When he brought the water over, he found that the rush that had just been spread on the ground was being chewed by several pigs...

Song Sancheng couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously wanted to go inside:——

I don't know if this grass can be eaten, so I have to stop it quickly!

But look again!
Well, there are half and half pieces of debris left all over the ground, and I haven't seen a single one, so what's the point?I love to eat and go.

Now staring at it for a while, he suddenly realized: Is there something wrong with this pig's growth?

Is it too big? !

The family has two large white pigs. This kind of pig grows fast and may weigh 300 catties by the end of the year—of course, it must be raised scientifically.

What is scientific feeding?
Closed in the pen, eating and eating every day, no room to move, and more feed to increase fat and nutrition...

In this way, some breeds of pigs can weigh more than 300 catties a year!

For big white pigs like theirs, 300 catties can do it.

But their pigs run all over the mountains and plains every day, wishing they could make a mud hole when it rains, and they exercise enough every day... Where is there so much fat?
But these pigs have been raised for 6 months now, but the big white pig seems to weigh more than 200 catties, fat and strong, much fatter than the pig he remembered when he was a child!
Back when the brigade raised pigs a few decades ago, this pig alone had to be carried to the county for an exhibition!
He looked at the scoop in his hand again—every day, he added some wheat bran and rice bran, and everything else was leftovers, wild vegetables, aquatic plants in the pond, and some broken old pumpkins...

This is not something that grows fat!

Looking at the three bought black pigs again, their physiques were significantly smaller, but they looked tense all over, and their hooves stepped on the ground with extra strength.

Although it doesn't look fat, but this weight is definitely indispensable.

There are also the two wild boars who entered the field last, their physiques are even smaller, and they are rampaging all over the mountain at the moment, chewing the broken rushes in their mouths and arching each other, even if there are two taels of fat, they have to run away like this ...

However, is the strength too much?

When I bumped into that tree, the whole tree trembled as if it was about to break...

……

He went home and muttered, but Seventh Cousin couldn't help being greedy: "Then you say, the pig is enough to weigh 200 catties, why don't you kill one first?"

Nothing else, just the big white pig.

There is a lot of fat, so when the time comes, cut off a piece of suet and fry it in the pan until the oil residue is crispy, crispy, fragrant, and then sprinkle some salt...

Whoops!That must be delicious!
Song Sancheng: ...Suck it up.

Fill the oil again, wait until it solidifies into white, and dig a spoonful every time you stir-fry...

Not to mention, stir-fried vegetables with lard, especially stir-fried vegetables, are simply delicious!Lard residue can also be used for stir-frying and stewing, and can also be used to make buns...

However, the pig weighs only 200 catties now, if it is raised again, will it really be able to weigh 300 catties by the end of the year?

"No, no, it's not worth eating now."

He turned his head and suggested: "Isn't there still soybeans? Can I take them to the town to squeeze soybean oil? It must be delicious."

The Seventh Cousin glanced at him: "The chestnut garden is full of soybeans, and the amount of soybeans is less than three acres. How much is the three acres of soybeans? The whole family can't wait to eat half a bag of pig's trotters. You still want to squeeze oil?"

Song Sancheng:  …

Anyway, pigs can't.

He then suggested: "Isn't there still sesame seeds? Sesame seeds are fine too... Press the oil next month when you harvest it, it must be very fragrant!"

"Ah!" Seventh Cousin couldn't bear it anymore and taunted: "The sesame seeds on half an acre of land can be harvested in a big pot, and the pressed oil weighs about thirty or forty catties—why, what do you think thirty or forty catties of oil would be? , how many dishes can you cook?"

Seeing that the Seventh Cousin was determined, he could only make excuses: "No, no! Experts have said that lard is not healthy, and it is easy to get sick if you eat it!"

Now the Seventh Cousin is speechless.

Is lard unhealthy?
He opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he saw Guo Dong enter the yard: "Uncle, don't listen to the nonsense of experts! Why is lard unhealthy? Lard is healthy!"

"Not only is it healthy, but it can also cure diseases! Those of us who study Chinese medicine often use this medicine to treat diseases! And it is very nutritious!"

"The main thing is to pay attention to moderation in everything. If you want thick oil and red sauce every day, even flat peaches will have to make up for it. You can't blame lard for this."

After she finished speaking, she came to her senses: "Hey? Where's Song Tan? Have my golden cherry seeds been dried yet? We're waiting for the rice to cook over here!"

　There is still one more night that I can't finish writing, so I will make up tomorrow morning.

　　Lard is really a good thing, and the stir-fried vegetables are also super fragrant.Again, everything has to be in moderation.
