The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 848: After all, in this era, no one knows the

The smell of the pigsty is indeed a bit big, but it can't stop the steps of the Emperor Datang.

Li Shimin ignored the trembling eunuchs and handymen, but went straight to the pigpen.

I saw the pigsty. The pigs with fat heads and big ears were lying in the pigsty and humming.

Someone walked staggeringly, came to the pig trough and arched, and found that the two-legged creature that came to the front was not here to feed themselves.

So he hummed two times in dissatisfaction, stepped on his short legs, returned to his position and lay down.

Li Shimin stared blankly at the fat pig who had despised himself.

Looking at its belly, which seems to be able to cling to the ground at any time, I was about to take a deep breath, and then hurriedly raised my hand to cover his mouth and nose.

The horse Zhou on the side, ignoring the stains, craned his neck and carefully looked at the fat, strong, and lazy pigs.

Can't help but turn around and ask the **** in charge. "How long have these pigs been raised, and how old were they when they arrived?"

The **** in charge did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied.

"These pigs were all piglets when they arrived, and the smallest ones were only ten kilograms.

The heaviest is no more than 20 catties, and it has been raised up to now, exactly one year and three months. "

"How are these pigs different from those raised by ordinary people in Datang?"

The eunuch's face was a little shy, but in the end, he replied inwardly.

"This... these are all castrated, whether they are boars or sows, all have been castrated."

Ma Zhou stared blankly at those very lazy steers who were not willing to move at all. They were as vigorous and rough as the pigs they usually saw.

Just eat and sleep like this, and eat as soon as you fall asleep. I don’t usually have much entertainment. I don’t even have a place to go for a walk. I don’t even have a chance to estrus. It’s strange not to get fat.

Next, under Li Shimin's order, the **** called someone and weighed the pig again.

It took a long time before we weighed one head, and heard the number reported by the eunuch, it was two hundred and twenty catties.

It was heavier than the pig that Li Chengqian called before. Now, Li Shimin and others have nothing to say.

"If the smell of pork is not so fishy..." Ma Zhou looked at these fat-headed pigs, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

Li Shimin couldn't help recalling the various pork cooking delicacies that Cheng Chubi had contributed to him, and swallowed and smiled.

"Ma Qing, the taste of this steer, I have tasted it, it is not fishy at all, and it is very delicious."

Ma Zhou and Fang Xuanling looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, Li Shimin still saw suspicion in their eyes.

Li Shimin couldn't help being a little unhappy. The emperor of Tang dignified, could he still deceive his courtiers?

Ma Zhou made a salute to Li Shimin and said in a serious manner.

"Your Majesty, the taste of this steer is aside for the time being. It is indeed very rare for these steers to grow so fat in more than a year."

"I just don't know whether this method of wering pigs can be promoted to benefit the people of the world."

Li Shimin stroked his long beard, his eyes fell on Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian's eyes turned, he didn't have much right to say about it.

"Father, the child thinks it's best to call Brother Chubi to come and consult in person on this matter."

Li Shimin was right when he thought about it. Except for that kid, no one knows more about the method of wering pigs, and the stuff he tinkered with called fodder must be his secret recipe.

"In that case, Zhao Kun, you immediately send someone to Zhao Cheng Saburo to enter the palace. Go ahead."

"The two Qings, let's just walk around in this east palace first, and wait until Cheng Saburo arrives."

#####

After receiving the news, His Majesty waited for himself in the East Palace for the purpose of the steer. Of course, Cheng Chubi, who was discussing university affairs with Li Ke, did not dare to neglect.

Asked Li Ke to rush towards the East Palace with him.

Entering the main hall of Li Shimin of the East Palace, I saw Li Shimin chatting with Fang Xiangye and Ma Zhou, while Li Chengqian sat aside in a precarious manner.

Li Shimin saw Cheng Chubi and Li Ke come next to each other, so he smiled. "Sit down without paying a courtesy."

"The steer raised in the East Palace now weighs as much as two hundred catties. Your kid has done a great job again."

Cheng Chubi couldn't help but enjoy, two hundred catties, it seems that the kind of pure natural feed without additives is still wide.

"This is also thanks to the trust of my uncle and your highness, so I can act boldly with my nephew."

"However, Fang Qing and Ma Qing both have questions. The old man thought, no one knows steers better than you, so I asked you to come here in person and explain in person."

"Of course there is no problem, just ask the two of you." Cheng Chubi confidently said to the two of them.

Fang Xuanling's main question was whether this castration method was very complicated and whether it was easy to promote.

The problem of the horse week is entangled in the breed of pigs, how much feed they need to feed when they grow so large, and how old they can grow if they are neutered and stocked.

Cheng Chubi answered one by one according to the memory in his mind. The method of steering pigs is very simple, but as long as a butcher has practiced a few times, he can master it proficiently.

Facing Ma Zhou's question, Cheng Chubi still had something in his mind. After all, he made the pig feed, and the brochures were very clear.

"As for how much feed the barrow can eat to grow to this size, there is a basis for it, and it is probably one to two to five to three."

"That is to say, one catty of meat for a steer needs to consume about two and a half catties to three catties of feed. When they grow to two hundred catties, about one pig needs five to six hundred catties of feed."

"If it is stocked, the feed consumed will be much less, but the growth of the pigs will be correspondingly slower."

"Generally speaking, if you stock it in a year, it can grow to between 120 and 140 kilograms. For specifics, you have to experiment before you know it."

Ma Zhou stroked his short beard ~lightnovelpub.net~ and shook his head in disbelief.

"From this point of view, it is indeed much better than a pig that has not been castrated.

Pigs that have not been castrated, if they are bred, it is normal to have 70 or 80 catties in one year, and if they can have 100 catties, it is extremely rare. "

Hearing Ma Zhou's words, Cheng Chubi couldn't help being amused. He raised his brows to show off his profound knowledge of pig breeding.

After all, in this era, no one knows the casting technique better than him. Even a master who specializes in purifying eunuchs can never cut a thousand people in a lifetime.

But myself, the chickens, rabbits, and pigs castrated before and after the crossing can't be beaten by two thousand.

"Of course, pigs who haven't been castrated, regardless of male and female, think about slap...cough, thinking about those unscrupulous things all day long.

The castrated pig has no eggs, and what mood is there to talk about love, so in addition to eating and sleeping, naturally gain weight quickly. "
