Li Mengxi has brought the pig testicles over and plans to wash them and roast them for his brother to eat in the evening.

At this time, a question loomed in front of Li Mengxi - where to put the pigs?

This piglet was too small to be used for surgical experiments, so it was castrated to be raised.

Piglets grow very fast. After one month of raising them, they can grow a lot, which is very cost-effective.

However, when Li Mengxi was about to lead the piggy away, he suddenly realized that there was nowhere to throw the pig.

Pigs are easy to carry around. The army now makes baskets, and the piglets are put into the baskets and carried away immediately.

The problem is not carrying pigs, but raising pigs.

If you are a human being, whether a soldier or a civilian, you should eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

Eat two meals to ensure you don't starve to death.

If a piglet is put in a basket and carried on its back, then the pig will follow the human's schedule and can only eat two meals a day, one early and one late.

However, the purpose of raising pigs is to make them grow meat. Pigs can eat a lot, and pigs have very strong digestion capabilities, so they can eat a meal every once in a while.

If we only feed a little bit in the morning and a little bit in the evening, the piglets will starve all day long, and the hungrier they will become, the thinner they will become. This makes raising pigs extremely cost-effective.

The pigs were put in baskets and could not be fed from time to time during the march.

If you want to raise pigs well and make them grow fast and fat, you must feed them more and constantly.

This requires a car again.

You need to put a small cage in the car. There is a pig trough in the cage. Put a lot of food in the trough. The piglets can eat when they are hungry and eat when they are hungry. They will grow very fast.

Maybe the pigs will be big enough to kill before the war is over.

The current situation in the military is that if there are too many pigs, there will be serious logistical pressure, but raising only one pig will not bring any logistical pressure at all.

how so?

Because there is a large amount of abundant manpower in the military that is not being used.

Thousands of civilians dispersed like ants every evening when they set up camp.

In the wild, there are not many wild vegetables that people can eat, but there are quite a few that pigs can eat.

In the past, there were no pigs in the army, and no one would dig up the pigweed.

Now there are piglets. When the farmers collected them in the wild, there would be thousands of people. They would just pick up some pigweed and each person would pull out one root, and there would be enough to bury the piglets.

Li Mengxi went to the carpenter's camp and asked Lu Li to make a pig cage.

Lu Li said, "We've already found someone to do it."

Li Mengxi was stunned. He couldn't remember when he told Lu Li about making a pig cage?

I may have said that I forgot, there are too many things going on day by day, and I can’t even remember them.

A truck for raising pigs is necessary.

You have to raise piglets. If you buy larger pigs, dogs, or sheep, you need to use these small animals for intestinal suturing tests.

In order to ensure the success of the experiment, the small things must be tightly tied and fixed after the operation.

Animals are different from people. If you tell people not to move after the operation, the people will obey and stay still, and the animals will definitely move.

Therefore, once suturing begins, at least one trolley will be needed to serve as a suturing test bench.

The importance of pallet trucks is becoming more and more prominent.

It seems that there is a huge difference between vehicles and manual labor, tools and no tools.

The piglet was temporarily placed in the carpenter's camp, and Lu Li was asked to take care of it and prepare food to feed the pig.

Feeding millet and wheat would be too wasteful.

There are many animals that pull carts in the army. Apart from grain and grass, there is also a lot of bran. People with bran are not easy to digest, so it is suitable to feed the animals.

He went to the baggage team and received half a bag of bran. Li Mengxi carried it back and gave the bran to Lu Li, who asked Lu Li to help feed it.

Just now, Li Mengxi asked Lu Li to help take care of the pigs. Li Mengxi walked forward, and Lu Li was looking for something to feed the pigs. He wanted to look for it, but when he couldn't find it, Lu Li thought, just use his own grain to feed the pigs.

The matters assigned by the military advisor cannot be botched.

Lu Li had already thought about feeding the piglets with his reward grain.

As a result, Li Mengxi was extremely considerate and came back with half a bag of bran.

There was no need to waste his own food. Lu Li took the bran with a smile.

Bringing bran to Lu Li was just a matter of taking care of him.

The piglet was very lively and jumping. Because the piglet had just been castrated, it was restless and humming here and there. Lu Li mistakenly thought that this piglet was jumping around very much.

The egg has been castrated. If it were you, you would jump too.

Pig testicles are edible. Li Mengxi ate them when he was a child.

When the castrated pig eggs were washed, it became dark.

At night, I went to have dinner with Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Li Mengxi was very familiar with Guan Yu and Liu Bei, so there were no more rules.

Li Mengxi had a small appetite, so he finished eating first. Li Mengxi drew his own short knife and put pig testicles on the knife to roast.

This is a simple Teppanyaki.

Guan Yu was curious and asked what was being burned.

"Pig eggs." Li Mengxi said casually.

Guan Yu was stunned, then laughed.

He just drank a mouthful of porridge, smiled wildly, and immediately choked. The choking made Guan Yu cough again and again, and he was so embarrassed.

This time, Li Mengxi couldn't help but laugh.

Guan Yu calmed down after a while, with a curious look on his face, and asked Li Mengxi if he killed the pig, why did he bother the pig and castrated it?

Then, Li Mengxi popularized the benefits of castrating pigs to Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

He also said sincerely that after the piglets are castrated, when the pigs grow up, the pork will not be fishy or smelly at all, and the meat will be fragrant and delicious.

When the time comes, use meat that is neither fishy nor spicy, cut off some fat, cut it into half-sized pieces, add soy sauce, minced onion, ginger and garlic, sprinkle with a little salt, a few Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon and other spices, etc.

Put it away, forget it if it's not there, then add less water, lower the fire, and simmer slowly.

After half a day, the meat is cooked. When you pick up a piece, it becomes rotten and melts in your mouth. It is not very delicious.

As he said that, Li Mengxi said what he said to the point of drooling.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu even forgot to drink porridge.

How does pork taste? Liu Bei and Guan Yu also ate it on weekdays. Pork is very unpalatable, not as good as chicken, duck, and mutton.

Li Mengxi said that the meat of castrated pigs is delicious. This is a novel and unheard-of statement.

So the three of them made an appointment to kill the pigs and eat their meat when the piglets grow up, to see if it tastes that good.

"It's a deal!" Li Mengxi smiled.

It must be delicious, no doubt, it has been verified by later generations.

If pork is divided into grades, high and low, the meat of domestic pigs, boars are more delicious than sows, suckling pigs are more delicious than big pigs, and castrated pigs and eunuch pigs are more delicious than uncastrated ones.

Not long after, Li Mengxi felt that the pig eggs were baked, so he took out the knife and prepared to cool it for his brother to eat.

Guan Yu reminded at this time, "Xi'er, the knife cannot be burned by fire, because it will not be strong once it is burned."

Li Mengxi raised his head, slightly startled. With Li Mengxi's lack of common sense and little accumulation of knowledge, he couldn't understand why the knife lost its strength after being burned.

He also couldn't figure out whether what Guan Yu said made sense, or whether it was just superstition. For example, there was a superstitious belief that a knife was a murderous object. Once it was burned by fire, the murderous intent would be gone. He didn't know if that was right or wrong.

The knife cannot be burned by fire, but when it is forged, it is made from iron with a temperature of thousands of degrees. The knife cannot be burned by fire. What is the principle?
