Chapter 32 Deep Cultivation of Fuling County (9)
"Little girl, don't be nervous. Brother promises that the knife will be fast and will not hurt for too long."
"Howling~~Howling~~~Howling~~~"
"What does howl mean? Are you ready to get a knife? Hahaha, brother, I'm here...Oh! You hide again!"
"Hahahaha, Zhang Lingxing, forget it, let me do it!"
As time entered the twelfth lunar month of the 20th year of Yanxi, the New Year atmosphere in various parts of Shu Han became stronger and stronger.
Although the country has become weaker and weaker in recent years, the lives of the people have become more and more difficult. But no matter how difficult it is, is it still necessary to live the year?
Moreover, Fuling County has achieved a lot of achievements in economic construction over the past year. Unlike the people of other counties in Shu Han, the people of Fuling County only feel that the days of this year have improved very well than before. Therefore, the local New Year atmosphere is full of joy and expectations for the coming year.
As a child who came out of the countryside before traveling through time, Guan Yi’s favorite thing was to kill the New Year pig. That was the greatest comfort for the hard work of the year.
In the pen in the back mountain of the prefect of Fuling County, the longest pigs raised have been raised for ten months. The largest one has far exceeded four stones (more than 110 kilograms). Even according to the standards of the 21st century farm, it is time to slaughter. So Guan Yi selected the largest one and released it from the pen, and joined his staff to kill the New Year pig.
Unfortunately, although these young men have trained a lot of skills in the hunting team, everyone is not in a hurry to kill, but teasing the fat pig to play.
"Roar~~~~ Roar~~~" A wave of roar came from the backyard of the prefect's mansion. In an instant, two yellow and black figures appeared - these were the two young tigers that Qiao Qiang had carefully fed for more than half a year.
Hearing the tiger roar, the big fat pig became even more anxious. He saw the passage in the front yard and ran wildly. But just as it was about to run out, a figure flashed out quickly, quickly avoiding the fat pig's strong head, and accurately grasped its hind legs with both hands.
"Okay!" "The country is so powerful!" "That's right, it's much better than this fool Ling Xing." "Hahahahaha~~~".
A group of young people were having fun unbridledly. The oldest Liao Yong also took care of his white beard very drunk, but saw a group of happy young people. Another young man did not join this group, but was sad on the side.
"What's wrong, Dinglie? I can't bear to leave?"
"Haha, Uncle Yong, it's not that he can't bear to let it go. This beast does nothing every day, except eating and sleeping, so he should be killed. But after all, he was responsible for the encirclement. He watched them grow up day by day. If he had no feelings at all, it would be a real inhuman."
"Understand, you did a good job. Well, how much can you slaughter this year?"
"One hundred and thirty-five, except for the general who gave ten or ten to the latter. According to Brother Zifeng's wishes, the remaining 115 were slaughtered. All the fresh meat that could not be eaten was made into bacon."
"Well, so, my Fuling County soldiers and the guards of Fuxing Society will not lack meat next year. Dinglie, you have made great contributions. Yong is here to thank you for your behalf."
"No, no, Yong Bo, according to Brother Zifeng, everyone has their own affairs and needs to do their own affairs well."
"Well, Dinglie, are you ready for next year's breeding? I hope this meat will not be broken."
"Please rest assured that you have just prepared 60 sows and 20 breeding pigs. The goal of the pen next year is to slaughter 600."
"Oh, it can actually be five times more in a year. It seems that the prefect prefabricated personnel for you in advance. By the way, those barbarians are still obedient when they come to the encirclement? Is there anyone that makes you embarrassed? If you have any, say to the old man, I will kill you and establish your authority."
"No need." Sun Gang waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Yong, what did these barbarians eat in Qinjiabao before, and what did we eat here when we came here? When I first gave them pure rice, the group of guys came to cry together and kneel down to thank him... Why didn't they work hard? Alas, I used to be absurdly on CDs before, and I didn't know the sufferings of the world at all..."
The fat pig was eventually killed by Zhang Zun's knife. After releasing the pig's blood and washing his whole body, Guan Yi personally took the surgery and began to dissect the fat pig.
There are actually classifications for the lard that Guan Yi most likes. The two large pieces of lard in slices between pork and viscera are called pine oil. They are the place where lard is most concentrated. In pork, the ones mixed with skeletal muscles are called fat oil. In addition, there are skin oils mixed with skin tissues and water oils mixed with viscera tissues.
What Guan Yi needs is two pieces of oil.
After cutting open the pig's belly and extracting two pieces of oil, Guan Yi breathed a sigh of relief: It was a lot of weight.
Sure enough, I got the weighing and it was 10 kilograms!
OK, according to the general loss caused by boiling lard, 30% to 40%. The two pieces of oil from this pig alone can provide him with 6 to 7 kilograms of pure lard. After killing all of this batch of slaughtered pigs this year, you can get at least 500 kilograms of lard.
This is high-purity lard, which is basically fatty acid glycerol. The loss is extremely small when converted into soap through saponification. Basically, one pound of lard can convert 0.95 pounds of soap - this is pure soap. In fact, as a modern person, Guan Yi must add spices, water and other additives to it. In fact, one pound of lard can produce two pounds of soap.
Well, if a piece of soap is calculated at 100 grams, then this batch of lard can produce 5,000 pieces of soap. If sold to Mijia Store at a price of 500 yuan per piece, the income will be 2.5 million yuan! You can buy nearly 18,000 stones of rice or 30,000 stones of sorghum! And how much sorghum has been consumed in the past ten months? Even if sows and breeding pigs are counted, they will only consume less than 4,000 stones of sorghum! The profit margin is nearly 9 times! What a huge profit!
And this is just the profit brought by two pieces of oil. The profit generated by pork, pig skin, bristles, and pork bones are not included! What's more, there are oil wax and glycerol, which are both profitable things! And this is the first year of raising pigs, with extremely small output. If you can really slaughter three to five thousand heads a year in the future...
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
"Why are brother laughing?"
"Yes, brother, look at the corner of your mouth..."
"Suck~" After sucking the saliva from the corner of his mouth in a mess, Guan Yi shouted in high spirits: "I am in a good mood today, so I'll give you some discounts. I cook for you in person! Xiaoqi, go to the backyard to bring all the master's set of things over here!"
As a time traveler, if you travel back to the middle and late Ming Dynasty, your appetite can basically be satisfied: the Age of Discovery has begun, and most seasonings, especially peppers, have entered China.
If you traveled to the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, you can still accept that cooking was basically popular.
In the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, cooking actually appeared. But it was not the mainstream and was still in the exploration stage. Generally speaking, the food processing method in this era was mainly steaming and cooking. Therefore, Guan Yi's so-called homewares are a complete set of fully mature cooking tools.
The meat of the New Year pig that just slaughtered is the most tender. In addition, Guan Yi’s skillful stir-frying skills, although there are no seasonings such as MSG and Douban in this era, it is enough to allow the aroma to fill the backyard of the Taishou Mansion.
When he opened the top-quality rice wine specially sent by the Mi Family Business, Guan Yi held up the wine bowl and shouted: "Everyone, drink it! May my great man be better than one year, may my Fuling County be better than today next year, may we achieve unparalleled achievements!"
"Drinking!"
