Chapter 171 Suggestion, fight?
"Wanwan, why do you want to castrate them?"

Without looking at how the butcher castrated the piglets, Wei Jingyi asked in confusion.

"Pigs grow slowly because they think too much, always thinking about doing that thing. If you castrate them, they will just eat and sleep every day, and naturally they will become fat and strong in a short time. It can also remove the fishy smell of pork, making it more delicious. The same principle applies to cutting off their tails."

This time Shen Xiangwan did not keep the secret and stated her intention directly. Although mutton, chicken, duck and fish were also delicious, she still preferred pork. Although one hundred pigs seemed like a lot, they had a large family and she was worried that there would not be enough to eat.

"Ah? There is such a thing?"

The two were stunned, and then they couldn't help blushing. What did she mean by always wanting to do that? How dare she say anything? However, after this treatment, can the piglets really grow fast and well, and the meat will no longer have a fishy smell?
"How long will it take for them to grow up after being castrated and their tails docked?"

Hearing their conversation, the butcher who was processing the piglets suddenly asked. Although he didn't know if it was true, he was still very interested in what Shen Xiangwan said. If it was really as she said, castrated pigs with their tails cut off could grow faster and get rid of the fishy smell, pork might become the first choice of the people, and more people would raise pigs in the future. As a butcher, and the first person to process the piglets, he would not have to worry about having a good life in the future.

"If you feed it well, it shouldn't be a problem for it to reach 200 to 300 kilograms in about half a year."

Shen Xiangwan did not hide it. Pigs are omnivorous animals and eat basically everything. But people in this era are not able to get enough to eat, so they can only eat grass at most. If they are mixed with feed from the future world, they can be slaughtered in about three months.

"real?!"

Two or three hundred kilograms in half a year?
The butcher widened his eyes in disbelief. You know, the pigs they are raising now may not weigh 200 kilograms in two years.

"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can buy two piglets and try it out. I believe you'll get the answer in no time."

Knowing that he was not questioning but simply shocked, Shen Xiangwan smiled slightly. Since she had found someone from outside to castrate the piglets, she was naturally not afraid that he would spread the matter. The people of the Apocalypse Dynasty were suffering too much, and she wanted to do something for them. If everyone could raise pigs, not to mention getting rich, at least there would be an extra meat dish on the table, right?
"Okay, I'll try it when I get back."

Piglets were very cheap, and the butcher was not so poor that he could not even afford to eat, so he made a decision immediately. If the deal went through, it would be of great benefit to him.

The butcher was very fast and soon he finished dealing with the piglets in one pen. He then took two servants with him and climbed into the pigpen next door.

"I'll ask the third brother to buy two piglets later."

Zhao Dashan trusted Shen Xiangwan very much and made the decision without much thought.

"Uncle Zhao, if you believe me, buy more and kill them all during the Chinese New Year. I'll teach you how to make sausages and bacon, and then you can take them to the county town to sell them, and you'll earn a lot of money."

Turning her head to look at him, Shen Xiangwan suggested with a smile. Anyway, they were not short of money now. If they bought a few dozen piglets, they would have dozens of fat pigs by the end of the year. After a little processing, they could be made into sausages and bacon for sale. The value could at least double. It should not be difficult to make two or three taels of silver from a pig. Of course, it also depended on whether he dared to take a gamble.

"Sausage and bacon?"

Zhao Dashan couldn't help but feel a little confused, and secretly considered the possibility of purchasing a large number of piglets.

"Yes, it's processed pork. I'll send you some tomorrow to try, and you'll know how delicious it is."

If she hadn't said it, she wouldn't have felt it, but as soon as she heard it, she was definitely a little greedy. Next time she went to the city, she had to make some.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your aunt."

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Dashan turned around and ran out in a hurry. Shen Xiangwan didn't have time to call him and could only shake his head helplessly.

"How about our two families pool our money to buy two piglets?" Seeing how excited they were talking, Wei Jingyi turned around and discussed with Wei Jinghan in a low voice, not knowing whether the piglets would be expensive or not.

"Well, we'll go ask about the price of the piglets later."

Who can resist the temptation of meat?
Especially since this meat is very profitable, their only worry is whether they can buy piglets with the little money they have.

"If you want to raise pigs, I can lend you money first."

"what?"

Shen Xiangwan's voice suddenly sounded, and the two of them were stunned reflexively. After looking at each other, Wei Jingyi said, "Thank you, Wanwan. We still owe you one hundred taels of silver. If you continue to lend it to us, when will we be able to pay you back?"

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to become like Wei Jingchun and the others, who only know how to take and suck blood. Wanwan said something very right, the family doesn't owe them anything. If there was no family in those years, how many people in the imperial city would care about them? Since they have enjoyed the honor given by the family, they must also bear the disaster brought by the destruction of the family.

Now that they have all established their own families, it is time for them to shoulder their own responsibilities and not rely on their family for everything, especially money.

"Okay, you guys go back and discuss it first. If you need anything, just go find your mother directly."

After making sure that they were sincere and not pretending to make excuses, Shen Xiangwan did not force it. When she turned around, a relieved smile spread across her fair and delicate face. The Wei family was not entirely made up of top-notch people.

The strong laborers in the village were either helping the Wei family to farm or digging ditches. The people they hired from the county were responsible for building houses and schools. Everyone had a clear division of labor and were busy. After lunch, with nothing to do, Shen Xiangwan simply returned to her room and went into the space to continue studying her little treasures.

"Knock down!"

Standing in front of Shen Xiangwan's door with Wu Shuiyu, Wei Ling'er knocked on the door. After waiting for a while without getting a response from inside, she couldn't help but knock again, this time with a little more force.

"what happened?"

Hearing the noise outside, Wei Chengyi walked out of the study. With him were Qingying and Yuan Xiu. They were discussing how to seize the power of Datong County.

"Something happened downstairs, and my mother asked me to come find my second sister-in-law."

"Squeak!"

As Wei Ling'er finished speaking, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened from the inside. Shen Xiangwan pretended to be dazed and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing happened. It's just that you bought the people but haven't arranged for them yet. Two of them started fighting. Mom asked me to ask you how to deal with them."

They all knew that those people seemed to be of some importance to the Second Sister-in-law, which was why they did not deal with them directly but had to alarm her.

"A fight started?"

It seems that these masters have been underestimated!
Shen Xiangwan paused in rubbing his eyes, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips. They actually dared to fight openly. Did he really think they were dead?
