struggle in ancient times

After careful care by the ranchers, it is a pity that one of the piglets died, and the others are growing well.

Liao Tingyu looked at the fat and fat piglets in the pigsty and said with satisfaction: "Okay, I don't need to worry about it now, just leave a few people to raise the pigs."

The others looked at each other, what about their extra people?

Liao Tingyu didn't let those people idle for long, and let them serve Yang Zi.

Liao Tingyu pinched his nose and frowned, "Why is it so smelly!"

"My lord, we have already cleaned it every day, but the smell on our bodies is a bit strong, especially the sheep over there are much more smelly than ours." The person who served the sheepfold said immediately.

"Oh!" Liao Tingyu got used to the smell, and asked the people beside him: "What is the difference between these sheep and our people? Why can't I see it?"

Next to them were a big family raising sheep and a few curious wealthy businessmen who came over and looked at the sheep carefully: "There is not much difference. I heard from other adults that the methods of breeding are different. It should be because of the different methods of serving them."

Liao Tingyu nodded, "In this way, let's divide the sheep into three parts and divide them into three sheep pens. The sheep in the first pen will be reared according to their method, the second one will be reared according to our method, and the third one will be kept for mating. "

Several people nodded. Cows and horses are not so troublesome. They are different at first glance. Liao Tingyu directly sent people to select high-quality cattle for breeding.

After two years of hard work by everyone, I finally got a horse suitable for growing here.

This kind of horse has both the toughness and endurance of the horse on the grassland, the size, and the docility here.

This time, Zhao Yuan and his group persuaded Liao Tingyun to report the great achievement this time. After all, this horse is an important material that can change the situation of the battle.

Liao Tingyu thought about it and felt that he should report more on this website. After all, he has been an official here for so long. Apart from improving the lives of people here, he has no other political achievements.

These are all things to say. In the first year, Liao Tingyu's pigs grew up.

"I didn't expect that it could grow so fast after cutting it off," said a group of people who came to visit.

"Do you know why? Because as long as he cuts it off, he will know how to grow flesh wholeheartedly, and will not think about it." Liao Tingyu said with a smile.

"Okay, I've raised them for so long, it's time to slaughter them and eat them. Have you asked the butcher to come over? Today I'm going to get a pig to reward everyone. Everyone has paid a lot this year. I hope that next year During the year, everyone will make persistent efforts to make our county better and better." Liao Tingyu said.

The pig that came out was hung with a red cloth, and others drove it to an open place with bamboo poles.

The chef was also sharpening his knife there, looking at the meat cut out by the butcher, the meat was delicious, especially the fat, tender and elastic.

"My lord, the meat looks quite good, and I don't know how it tastes like, but I don't seem to have such a strong smell now." The chef patted the lump of meat and praised.

"What kind of thing this thing is depends on your chef's skills." Liao Tingyu said as the host.

"My lord, don't worry, I will definitely use all my strength to let you have a good meal today."

When the hot dishes were served on the table, all the people smelled the aroma of the dishes and sighed: "I have eaten pork for so many years and never thought that there is still fried pork without that smell. "

"It's true, and the pork is glutinous and tender in the mouth. I have to say that the chef of Yipinju is still so good."

"Actually, the most important thing is that this pork is good. I have never used such good pork in all my years of growing up."

After eating this meal, several businessmen saw an opportunity. Since Liao Tingyu found out about their tricks, they could only do their own business honestly, and they didn't make much money for nearly a year.

And this meal of pork gave them hope, and I don't know if the county magistrate will let them do the pig business.

Several people discussed it and planned to ask the county magistrate when they were free.

"You said you want to do this pork business, that's fine. I didn't hide these things from you. If you think this business is easy to do, you can do it." Liao Tingyu agreed after hearing their benevolence and indifference.

But what surprised him was that he originally thought that these people wanted to get involved in the horse business, and he planned to pick one of them to do it, but he didn't expect that no one would stand up.

Liao Tingyu looked at these people, "Are you all planning to do this pig business? The market is so big, and the power consumption is so big, are you sure? And I didn't hide it from others, ordinary people You can also go straight down with a knife, it doesn't need to be difficult!"

Liao Tingyu looked at just a few people and said: "To be honest, after getting along for so long, I also know what kind of people you are. Although I said that I haven't done too many good things, it's not a big crime. , I still hope that you will consider it carefully.”

"This..." Several people hesitated, they glanced at each other, and saw firmness in each other's eyes.

"My lord, please show us a clear path." Xu Jing saluted.

"Actually, the road is already clear. You can continue to do what you did before, but the place where you buy the goods has changed." Liao Tingyu said.

Several people glanced at each other and said, "My lord, can we raise those animals ourselves?"

Liao Tingyu nodded, "Except for horses."

This was really a pleasant surprise. I thought that I would never be able to get involved in the business after being caught, but I didn't expect the county magistrate to be so generous. This is a way of making money.

They originally thought that these things belonged to the county magistrate once they were divided into the ranch, or they were shared with the general, after all, the general also got involved.

"The area I circled has now been assigned to General Zhao's army. You can take a good position in other places, but you still have to register with the yamen first, and everything will be handled according to the rules." Liao Tingyu said.

"My lord, don't worry, we are the most disciplined."

The next day, Liao Tingyu received a lot of gifts, the best one was a turquoise handle, which was very beautiful in shape, and it was already emerald green before being played with it.

Suddenly became Liao Tingyu's new favorite, and Huang Zilan was in a better mood, "These people really have winks, these things are good things!"

"These things they exchanged are like that. Their things are worthless on the grassland, but they are valuable here, and the worthless things on our side may be very precious there. They rely on this to accumulate property. This line is broken. , basically broke one of their thighs, and I revealed that they exchanged cattle and sheep with those people, so they were so cautious, probably because they wanted to wait for me to be transferred from the post of the county magistrate, and then come out to make trouble Bar."

Huang Zilan nodded, "That's right, your term of office seems to be coming to an end soon, and the higher-ups are also coming to investigate the situation here, and I don't know whether to stay or get promoted."

"What the hell, it's still so long, let's kill the pig first, I really want to eat pig sausage." Liao Tingyu felt that these were things beyond his control, so he might as well not think too much about it. It didn't work either.

"Since you want to eat, let's let the chef do it. Even the chef's craftsmanship is really good. I also want to know how the food you are thinking about tastes like?" Huang Zilan said.

"All right, I'll teach him how to do it. I'll send some over to the capital so that they can have a taste." Liao Tingyu calculated that this pig can make several hundred catties of pigs anyway. Big Intestine, gifts are enough.

The steps to make this thing are quite complicated, and a lot of materials are used. Just to make a pig, it took the chef three days. Especially filling it with meat is the most troublesome.

After it dried, Liao Tingyu made a few knots.

"Second brother, this taste is really good. It's salty and a bit spicy. It tastes like smoked bacon." Liao Shi picked up a chopstick and chewed it in his mouth.

The chewiness of this thing is quite for you, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

"Indeed." Deng now eats very delicately, and I don't know if it's because he often hangs out with other people, even eating has a bit of a noble lady's temperament.

Liao Ming didn't care so much, anyway, being polite would be a disadvantage, and he saw that the second son saw a lot of things here, but there were also many people to give to, so he planned to let the big one over there when he had time. The cook got him some too.

"That's right, this stuff is pretty good. If I can't make this taste with the old pigs at all, I'm a bit pity now. The pigs are less processed. Zhao Yuan asked for three pigs and ate one, and now there's only one left." There are more than a dozen of them, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated!" Liao Tingyu said melancholy.

"Indeed, it's a bit small. The latest batch of piglets haven't grown yet, and we have to wait half a year to eat them." Liao Ming nodded. In fact, it's a bit early to eat this pig now. After all, it's only one year old. All pigs have to be raised for four or five years, and even one-year-old pigs can only be regarded as tender pigs.

It was in the old village that anyone who dared to slaughter and eat a pig that was about one year old would be scolded.

It has to be said that since their son became an official, they have eaten more and more abundantly, and it has become less and less like they came out of the village.

Now that they have achieved so much, Liao Ming has the idea of ​​going home again. He wants to go back and repair in the ancestral hall, and show off his son's great achievements by the way.

When Liao Tingyu heard about Father's plan, he reckoned that this matter should be a knot in Father's heart.

Perhaps the village is just a familiar and unfamiliar starting place for him, but for Dad, it is the place where he was born and raised, and he cannot give up.

"Since Dad wants to go back, let's go back, and donate some money for me to buy some fields to make their life easier." Liao Tingyu said.
