Chapter 542 542. Kill a pig?
In fact, the quality of rushes this year is exceptionally good, so good that Song Youde has never seen it in all these years.
However, apart from intensive cultivation and good management, there is often uncertainty about what the things in the fields will look like. So everyone was amazed for a while, but no one took it seriously.
The cheapest straw mat sold by Song Tan is 999, and the most expensive one is 1599...
It’s just a straw mat!
This really shocked Lao Song, so much so that he was extremely cautious when choosing materials to weave straw mats.
I regret it now. I was not too careful when I split the rushes, and a small part of the stem in the middle got crooked.
The texture of this stalk is slightly hard, and it feels different from grass blades when braided. If only a thin strand is braided, it can be braided in to enhance its toughness.
But some of them were too thick, so I had to cut them off again with a knife to cut off the old stems.
No, Song Youde grinned every time he picked something.
When Song Sancheng went to hug him, there wasn't much in the corner, just a bundle with two arms folded together.
At this point, Song Youde was still a little reluctant to part with him.
Normally, this would not be a problem. If his granddaughter hadn’t sold things so expensively, he could only think about the quality all the time, for fear that others would find fault with them and scold them for their lack of conscience. ...
With this pressure in his heart, the old man made a lot of money by weaving straw mats, but he did not dare to show off in front of Wang Lifen.
It's a good thing he didn't show off, otherwise he would have been forced to be honest if he had been beaten hard by the old lady.
Moreover, in previous years they wove straw mats. After the rushes were dried, they were originally yellow, but only the dried ones brought out some dull green color.
Not like now, even the chopped stems are shiny green.
…
Song Sancheng didn’t think too much.
No matter how green and moist it is, isn’t it just using the leftovers to build a pig pen? That's why their family is so frugal.
It was a hot day, and several pigs were all over the hillside, looking for places to lie under the shade of the trees. They rarely returned to the pig pen except when eating.
The floor of the pigsty has to be flushed with a water pipe every night to remove the heat, and there is no more straw underneath.
However, with 7 pigs and such a small bale of grass, Song Sancheng looked at it and found that there was not even enough space for sleeping, and it was extremely cramped.
But that’s all.
He didn't pay attention. On the contrary, several pigs screamed immediately when they saw someone, and their stomachs were like bottomless pits. Song Sancheng shook the rushes inside evenly and turned around to pour another bucket of water in.
However, in just a moment, two slightly smaller wild boars stood up from the shade of the tree and rushed into the pig pen with bumpy steps.
When he brought the water over, he found that the rushes that had just been laid on the ground were being chewed by a few pigs...
Song Sancheng couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously thinking about it. Go inside:——
I don’t know if this grass is edible, so I have to stop it quickly!
But look again!
Okay, there are half-broken pieces of debris left all over the ground, not even a single one is visible, so what’s the point of stopping it? Eat as much as you like.
After staring for a while longer, he suddenly realized: Is there something wrong with the appearance of this pig?
Is it too big? !
I raise two large white pigs at home. These pigs grow very fast and may weigh 300 kilograms by the end of the year - of course, they need to be raised scientifically.
What is scientific breeding?
They are kept in a pen and fed every day without any room to move. The feed also needs to be fattened and nutritious...
In this way, some breeds of pigs can weigh more than 300 kilograms a year! A big white pig like them can handle 300 pounds.
But their pigs run all over the mountains and fields every day. When it rains, they wish they could dig out a puddle. They exercise enough every day... Where can there be so much fat?
But these pigs have been raised for 6 months now, but the big white pig looks like it weighs more than 200 kilograms. It is fat and strong, much fatter than the pig he remembered when he was a child!
Back when brigades were raising pigs a few decades ago, just one pig would have to be carried to the county exhibition!
He looked at the gourd in his hand again - he only added some wheat bran and rice bran every day, and the rest were all leftovers, wild vegetables, water plants in the pond, and some broken old pumpkins. The...
This is not something to gain weight!
Looking at the three bought black pigs, they are obviously smaller in size, but their whole body looks tight, and their four hooves are very powerful when they step on the ground.
Although it doesn’t look fat, the weight is definitely indispensable.
There are also two wild boars that entered the scene at the end. They are even smaller. They are running rampant all over the mountain, chewing the broken rushes in their mouths and pushing each other back and forth. Even the two taels of fat pigs have to run away like this. ...
But, isn’t the strength a bit too much?
When he hit the tree, the whole tree shook as if it was about to break...
...
He went home and muttered like this, Qibiao But the master couldn't help but said: "Then you said, the pig is already 200 kilograms, why don't you kill one first?"
I don’t want anything else but that big white pig.
There is a lot of fat. When the time comes, cut off a piece of suet and fry it vigorously in the pan until the oil residue is crispy, brown and crispy, and fragrant. Then sprinkle some salt...
< br>Ouch! Then you will have to lose your teeth!
Song Sancheng: ...suck.
Put the oil in again, wait until it solidifies into white, scoop out a spoonful every time you cook...
Not to mention, stir-frying vegetables with lard, especially stir-frying vegetables, is simply delicious! Lard residue can also be used to stir-fry, stew, and make steamed buns...
However, the pig weighs only 200 kilograms now. If it is raised again, will it really weigh 300 kilograms by the end of the year?
"No, no, it's not worthwhile to eat now."
He turned around and suggested: "Aren't there still soybeans? Can I take them to the town to squeeze soybean oil? It will definitely be delicious."
The seventh cousin glanced at him: "The chestnut orchard is full of soybeans, and the soybeans are less than three acres. How much can be recovered from three acres of soybeans? The whole family wants to eat half a bag of stewed pig's trotters, and you still want to squeeze the oil?"
Song Sancheng:...
Pigs can’t do it anyway.
He then suggested: "Aren't there still sesame seeds? Sesame seeds will do too...press the oil when harvested next month, it will definitely be very fragrant!"
"Ah!" Seventh Cousin I couldn't bear it anymore and started sarcastically: "Half an acre of sesame seeds can be harvested in a large pot, and the oil must be about thirty or forty pounds - why, do you think thirty or forty pounds of oil can be used to stir-fry a few vegetables?" ?"
Seeing that the seventh cousin was determined, he could only make another excuse: "No, no! Experts say that lard is unhealthy and you will get sick easily!"
Now the seventh cousin was speechless.
Is lard unhealthy?
He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he saw Guo Dong entering the yard: "Uncle, don't listen to the experts! Why is lard unhealthy? Lard is healthy!"
"Not only healthy. , it can also cure diseases! We who study traditional Chinese medicine can use this to treat diseases! And it is very nutritious!”
“The main thing is to pay attention to the moderation of everything. Even flat peaches have to make up for their flaws, and the lard can’t be blamed.”
After she finished speaking, she realized: "Hey? Where is Song Tan? Have my golden cherry seeds been dried? I'm waiting for the rice to be put into the pot!"
There is still one more night to write, so I will finish it tomorrow morning.
Lard is really good, and it’s super fragrant for cooking. Again, everything must be done in moderation.
