Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 170 IX Meat and Eggs

High-intensity training requires nutritional supplementation.Therefore, meat is not only a matter of taste and taste, but also a necessary source of nutrition.But the aquaculture industry in this era is individual breeding, and small farmers are mainly free-range. The cycle is long and the animals are thin. Of course, the taste is needless to say.

Later generations are fed with feed, and a big fat pig of more than [-] catties can be raised in half a year.

Now they are raised in captivity and free-range, and the food they eat is mainly pig grass and leftovers. This kind of pig has a long cycle, and the meat is tight and fresh. In terms of taste, it is more than a dozen streets away from the pigs of later generations, but it is heavy. It's also far worse.

Unless there is an accident, otherwise, the weight of a hundred catties will be the end. [

This is true for large animals such as cattle and sheep.Another problem with cattle is that although the Ming Dynasty did not strictly prohibit it, killing cattle would be condemned by public opinion, and beef is not very easy to buy.After all, the number of cattle needed in the cultivated land is extremely large, and the existing cattle are far from meeting the needs of the cultivated land. Except for a few strong cattle that were stolen and killed, most of the beef on the market are sick and dying old cattle that cannot work anymore. Used to kill and sell meat.

Sheep did not have such scruples, but at that time they knew that there were not many people herding sheep, especially in the residential areas dominated by Han people.

Chickens are the main source of meat for future generations, but not every family raises chickens these days, especially a small group of chickens, and no one will raise large numbers of chickens on a large scale.

In addition to being difficult to serve, I am afraid of chicken plague.

A chicken plague, the hard work is in vain, and it is not surprising that the capital cannot be recovered.Ducks and geese are better, but there are not too many around Fushan, and the number is far from enough for the army.

The number of livestock and animals raised by these common people has a certain number. After hundreds of years, the common people have agreed on the scale of raising according to the number of nearby residents and the number of people with purchasing power.Originally, before the appearance of Fushanying, military households along the coast seldom ate meat, even the fish they caught themselves, and most of them were sold to exchange for money for emergencies, let alone meat.

Only during festivals, military households would buy less meat for tooth sacrifices. However, during festivals, the number of slaughtered animals also increased, and it was a curve that both sides rose.

The military households were so impoverished that their standard of living was far worse than that of civilian households. This is also a clear example of the low status of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course it is different now. Zhang Shouren was born out of nowhere. Relying on the advantage of being close to the sea, he sacrificed this big killer that relies on the sea to eat salt. In addition, he developed a salt pond. The limelight has already affected the meat in the entire Jiaodong area. category market.

The share is still so large, and the number of people who eat meat has increased by a thousand times. Of course, the market cannot stand it.

Recently, in the Jiaodong market, the price of meat has tripled, and the price of eggs has more than tripled. There are complaints from the common people here, because their consumption power is not very high, and the meat and eggs are bought by Fushanying. Go, even if they spend money, they are not easy to buy. When they meet by chance, the price is beyond their consumption ability. In addition to the shortage of food, major commercial firms give priority to supplying Fushanying, which leads to rising food prices. The price of meat is higher, and the lives of the people around have been seriously affected.

When Zhang Shouren came back just now, he had already figured it out along the way.

Today, there are so many gentry and students ganging up on trouble, although many of them are jealous of themselves and looking for trouble, but more of them are still venting some dissatisfaction.
