Chapter 219 Buying a Castrated Pig
Xiangchuan has almost forgotten the pig slaughtering scenes he saw when he was a child. The few things he remembers are the scenes of his family going to the village pig farm to carefully select big fat pigs before the Chinese New Year. At that time, Xiangchuan, who was still a little kid, disliked the pig pen. Every time he followed his parents to the pig farm, he mainly went to the small vendors near the pig farm to buy some snacks or small items. After his parents finished selecting the pigs, they followed him to the slaughterhouse.

When my parents discussed the selection of pigs, castration was occasionally mentioned.

The reason why she still remembered this word was that after she entered junior high school, she read some time-travel novels in ancient times and often saw eunuchs in the novels being called "castrated people". Every time she saw this word, she would think of castrated pigs, and wondered if it was the same as eunuchs, a pig whose lower thing had been cut off.

But at that time she was already living in the school dormitory and didn't have much time to stay at home and listen to her parents' chatter. In addition, she had to deal with class placement tests and the high school entrance exam, so she had no time to study this thing.

As time went by, she forgot about it.

If Kagawa hadn't seen the pig with broken genitals at the pig farm this time, he probably wouldn't have remembered this incident.

"Castrate a pig... Castrate a pig..."

Kagawa muttered to herself and quickly opened Geegle to search. She felt that a big reason why modern pork was so hard to swallow might be related to this castrated pig.

Half a minute later, Kagawa hurried to Butler Yasui.

"Manager Anjing, excuse me, that pig—" Kagawa pointed at the fat pig whose life was cut off, "Can you sell that pig to us? I can pay in cash!"

Sausage was in a hurry. If he delayed any further, this castrated pig that he had finally found by chance would have to be sent to the farm and made into feed to feed the carnivores in the nature reserve.

When she thought about the fact that many castrated pigs might have been eaten by carnivores so far, while humans like them were still struggling to eat pork, Kagawa could even imagine the scene of modern people being laughed at by people in the 21st century.

Of course, as a time traveler from the 21st century, Kagawa can't laugh now.

What she needed to do most now was to get the castrated pig as soon as possible.

Manager Yasui was startled by Kagawa's anxious tone. She looked up at the individual whose size stood out among the herd, and wondered why Kagawa had ignored the other high-quality and healthy pigs and chose this one?

However, although she was full of doubts, since Kagawa, who was exposed to the information turbulence, had spoken, Manager Yasui did not mind giving her some convenience.

"Of course, these pigs will be disposed of later anyway. If you want to buy them, Kagawa, I can give you a discount." Manager Yasui said, opened his personal terminal, and sent a message to the financial staff.

It happened that the financial staff were checking the bills with the employees at the meat processing plant who were loading defective pigs. As soon as Manager Yasui sent the message, the financial staff rushed over in less than a minute.

Hearing that someone wanted to buy defective pigs, the financial staff looked at Kagawa with a questioning look in her eyes. However, she was too embarrassed to ask too much in front of General Manager An Jing, so she showed the price list in the terminal to Kagawa in a businesslike manner. The financial staff introduced: "The average price of a healthy pig is about 5,000 star yuan. This student wants to buy defective pigs, so we can give you a 30% discount. Is this price acceptable to you?"

When the financial staff asked the last question, they were actually very nervous. You know, the price of a whole edible cow is only 8,000 star yuan. Although pigs are cheaper than cows, the taste of pork is simply indescribable, so almost no one considers buying pigs, let alone a whole pig.

The well-behaved girl in front of him seemed to come from a well-off family. She probably used her own pocket money to buy the pigs this time. Otherwise, she would not consider buying cheap defective pigs, but the healthy pigs in the pigpen. The financial staff thought. Although he felt a little sorry for An Jing, the manager who had been investing his energy in the pig farm, he felt guilty for letting her watch the girl's pocket money go down the drain.

It is better to buy half a cow than a whole pig. The financial staff was preparing to persuade her when Xiangchuan showed her personal terminal.

"Can I pay directly?" Kagawa asked with a blink.

Seeing Kagawa's unhesitating look, the financial staff could only swallow the words on the tip of his tongue and open the payment page obediently. After the 3,700 star yuan were deposited into the account, the financial staff returned to his work station with a heavy heart.
-
Kagawa paid the money, which meant that he had transformed from a student visiting the pig farm to a small customer of the pig farm.

Although she only bought a pig, small amounts of money are still money. In addition, Manager Yasui was curious about Kagawa's intention of buying the pig, so he directed his employees and AI robots to transfer the castrated pig out of the team as soon as possible.

While the adults around them were working, the three members quietly approached Xiangchuan, and Ouyang Yating was the first to ask:

"Kagawa, what's the point of buying that pig? If you're going to buy one, why not buy the ones we just saw?"

Buy a good pig, at least it will be less unpalatable when cooked, Ouyang Yating added in her mind.

"Hey, you don't know this. I just looked up information and found out that castrated pigs... pigs with their penis cut off, taste much better than ordinary pigs."

Hearing this, Aino and Liang Gong held their lower bodies with complicated expressions. Although it was the pig whose genitals were cut off, this statement really made male creatures feel a sense of substitution and phantom pain.

"Is it so troublesome? Cows and chickens can be eaten directly, so why did ancient people bother with pigs like this?" Ino said with disdain.

"In the past, it was because pigs grow fast and have a lot of fat, so poor people can eat more meat. Later, it was purely because pork, lard and pig offal can satisfy the picky modern... 21st century people."

Kagawa coughed lightly. It was a close call, I almost let it slip. Modern people are not picky, otherwise why would they eat liquid and solid foods for thousands of years without considering eating raw tomatoes and cucumbers?
Ouyang Yating and the other two looked at each other. Although they still doubted whether pork could become delicious, they still agreed with Xiangchuan's comment that people in the 21st century were picky.

The students of Agricultural University Affiliated High School have formed a stereotype about the picky eating habits of people in the 21st century when they saw the steamed buns in Yuexiang Restaurant and the school cafeteria. After all, modern people can be satisfied with just a meat bun for a lifetime, but people in the 21st century are tirelessly developing sugar buns, beef buns, and vegetable buns. Even a chicken can be fried, roasted, or made into chicken soup.

Experts and scholars from the Institute of History even believe that the reason why advanced science and technology have not been developed in the 21st century is that contemporary people have focused their energy on studying food!
Kagawa: No, there really isn’t such a thing…right?
