Chapter 404: These boars have also become very girly, gentle and don’t fight (please subscribe and vote)

Soon, Li Shimin saw the large shed built in the yard, and the smell coming from the livestock shed made him frown slightly.

However, he still walked quickly and came to the shed. He saw the small space separated under the shed.

And in each space, there were actually four or five fat and strong black pigs lying there. But at this moment, these pigs were all lying lazily in the pig pens.

"...My dear, I'm afraid it really weighs two hundred pounds, right?" Zhao Kun, who was an experienced butcher, couldn't help but rounded his eyes and muttered.

"The one I just slaughtered the day before yesterday was put on the scale and weighed. It weighed one hundred and ninety-four and a half kilograms. How about it, my nephew is not lying."

Cheng Chubi glanced at Zhao Kun who didn't believe him. Now that he had physical evidence, he squatted in the house again. Cheng Laosan suddenly became more courageous.

"You said you castrated all the pigs, which ones are the castrated boars?" Li Shimin suppressed his inner excitement and smiled at Cheng Chubi.

"Those four pigs over there..." Following the direction Cheng Chubi pointed, Li Shimin saw four fat and strong black pigs, sleeping on the straw and snoring.

After looking carefully, he confirmed that it was indeed a boar and couldn't help but smacked his mouth. "In other words, after you castrate them, these boars can live in peace, right?"

Cheng Chubi nodded and said matter-of-factly.

"When I first bought them, there was a lot of commotion, and the housekeeper in the mansion said that if the boars are together, they will definitely fight every day."

"I just thought that the reason why the animals fight must be very simple, either because of stuttering, or because of... cough, to steal the sow's heart."

"???" Li and his son looked at Cheng Chubi who was seriously talking nonsense. He was trying to steal the heart of a sow...

Zhao Kun turned away his head immediately. Cheng Laosan was worthy of being Cheng Laosan. Such talkativeness was really a disservice to her.

"So, I thought about cutting off all their balls, but the result was as expected.

These boars have also become very girly, they are gentle and do not fight, and they only eat and sleep all day long, and eat when they sleep."

"After the sow is castrated, she won't attract the wind and butterflies anymore... Yeah, that's what it means anyway."

"And keeping them in such a small pigsty is to reduce their activity so they can gain weight..."

Cheng Chubi naturally cannot say that hormone secretion causes the fishy smell of pork.

Li Shimin twirled his long beard and listened to Cheng Laosan's description. Although this guy would say one or two uncomfortable words from time to time, Li Shimin finally understood the secret of Cheng's secret method of raising castrated pigs.

"In other words, you pigs, after just one year of raising them, can grow to nearly two hundred pounds..."

"Did you know that if an ordinary person raises a pig in their home, it only weighs one hundred, forty or fifty pounds from the beginning of the year to the end of the year?"

"...Uncle, that's because they don't feed them properly. If pigs are kept free-range, they naturally won't grow fast. If you want to fatten fast, you must feed them clinker, and they must be kept in captivity."

Cheng Chubi has also inquired in detail about pig farming in this era before. Generally speaking, most of them are semi-grazing and semi-penned.

A few families only raise pigs in captivity, but they all set aside large areas for pig houses, where the pigs can run and jump freely.

Moreover, they had never heard of methods like castrating pigs, at least not to the Cheng family.

That's why Cheng Chubi used his surgical skills to castrate all the boars into eunuch pigs, except for one who would be used as a future breeding pig.

As far as Cheng Chubi knows, whether it is a pig, a dog, or even a cat, all males must be castrated.

They all have a common emotional trait, that is, life is worse than death, and it is better to eat and wait for death.

This brings up a new topic. As the technical backbone of the township health center, Cheng Chubi can eat butchered pig meals a year.

At any rate, he often wanders around the fields, so he naturally knows who raises pigs in the homes of those people. Anyway, he has never seen anyone feeding them raw food, only clinker.

The farmer's uncle told him that only clinker-fed pigs can grow faster, so Cheng Chubi naturally used it rationally.

"Cheng Sanlang..." When the drooling Cheng Chubi was looking for a moment to moisten his throat, Li Shimin slapped the honest and honest Cheng Laosan on the shoulder.

"Very good, you're very good..." He was in a very happy mood, even Cheng Sanlang and Ke'er who usually seemed to find them particularly annoying.

At this moment, I feel that these two little dolls are so pretty and pleasing to the eye.

"You...well, you didn't say that you are good at cooking. In that case, why don't you invite me to try your cooking skills?"

"Of course that's no problem. Please ask uncle to go to the front hall. Brother Xian, could you please lead the way there? I'll go to the kitchen first..."

After watching Li Shimin and his son leave, Cheng Chubi ran straight to the kitchen and shouted in the style of the chief chef of Lu Guogong's mansion.

The whole kitchen yard started to get busy, well... it started to get busy in an orderly manner.

Li Shimin and Li Ke led the way to the front hall, and saw a middle-aged woman in formal clothes walking towards them from a distance.

It was Cheng Cui, Cheng Yaojin's wife. She was still a few steps away when Cheng Cui bowed down to her. "I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty, and see His Highness the King of Wu."

"Today I am visiting incognito. Madam-in-law, please don't be so formal." Li Shimin raised his hand to support her and said with a pleasant expression.

After a few words of greeting, Li Shimin entered the hall. He was a little confused and looked at the front hall of the Cheng Mansion, which had the style of a copycat Juyi Hall.

I really didn't know what to say, but portraits of the Cheng family painted by Yan Liben hung prominently on both sides of the wall.

On the other side were calligraphy works by Yan Lide. Thinking of the origins of these two works, Li Shimin's eyelids twitched.

The expression on his face became more and more like, well, you must control it and not lose your manners in the Cheng Mansion.

Then the host and guest sat down separately, and when Li Shimin took a sip of the tea, Mrs. Cui, who had already suspected the case, smiled brightly.

"May I ask Your Majesty if you know the treasured book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the Emperor Da'an Palace..."

"???" Li Shimin and Li Ke's father and son looked at this Cui lady in bewilderment, who liked to squint her beautiful eyes, and now she squinted even more.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Li Ke looked confused, but that's right. He really didn't know what treasures there were in Grandpa Huang's Da'an Palace.

Li Shimin's eyes were as wide as bells, and he finally closed his mouth after grinning exaggeratedly for a long time.

In his heart, he was angry and happy at the same time. The happy thing was that Cheng Sanlang seemed to be having a hard time being annoyed by his own mother in the mansion these days.

What makes me angry is that this bastard, in order to avoid the pursuit of his mother, actually claimed that the made-up "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was a secret treasure in his father's palace in Da'an.
