Chapter 485: [Ten Thousand Butchers]

The Wang family's yard is a house with a width of more than ten acres, located in the middle of Wangjiazhuang. Now this large yard only has Gui'e and a few entrances. To the east of the yard is a dilapidated building area, which is full of low houses, and some roofs are covered with straw. When the strong wind blows, it will be afraid that the roof will blow away.

The Wang Family Village is so simple, and there are large areas of land outside the owner's house and tenant area.

Gui'e took Li Chengqian around the field, but did not enter the tenant's residential area, but just took a few glances on the outside, and then returned to the Wang family's yard.

"The farmers here seem to grow things too monotonous. A large area of ​​wheat is just one or two acres of vegetables, and there is nothing else!" Li Chengqian shook his head and said.

Li Chengqian didn't know much about farming, but when he saw the houses where the farmers in the Wang family lived, he knew that their economy was very poor. He could not get rid of poverty and become rich, because this field could not bring them income!

Gui'e was not angry when she heard Li Chengqian's theory. Instead, she looked at Li Chengqian with great interest and asked in a sweet voice: "Master Li, how do you think this field can be planted?"

Now in Gui'e's eyes, Li Chengqian is a powerful person with a skillful tool.

When she heard that Li Chengqian had an objection to their farming methods, she suddenly realized that Li Chengqian had a new and good farming method, so she looked at him expectantly.

Li Chengqian doesn’t have much farming experience, but he knows that if you want to get rich, you have to cater to the market. Plant whatever the market needs and lacks. Only by selling the things like this can you make money by entering the market. It is much better than planting a few acres of wheat all the time!

"Food food must be grown in the fertile land, which cannot be changed. If you change to plant other things, the government will come to capture it!" Gui'e reminded Li Chengqian, "But Master Li's statement is good. If you plant a few pieces of poor land into something missing in Chang'an, then selling it will make the tenants make a lot of money!"

Oh, I never thought about what to plant in this field, and the government would take care of it! However, Gui Gui'e did not directly deny Li Chengqian's words, and she also thought about using poor land to grow economic crops, which was also clever.

But after seeing her thinking for a while, she didn't say anything again. Her beautiful eyebrows became deeper and deeper, she knew that she lacked market investigation, and she might not be able to think of such a fantasy!

"There is no hurry to go to Chang'an in the future and see what you don't sell and you want to buy everywhere." Li Chengqian said. At this time, he thought of something and said, "I saw a farmer brother who gave me a spoonful of eggs to thank me. The eggs must be very expensive. Then you can mobilize your tenants to raise hens together, lay eggs, and sell them for money!"

After saying this, seeing Gui'e's face slightly embarrassed, Li Chengqian knew what she had thought of, and quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that there are fewer eggs, but just..."

"Well, it's me that I'm thinking about it. Master Li is not like this!" Gui'e smiled. She asked, "It's just that raising chickens is too consuming. Raising one or two at home is just a little bit outside to find food. That's okay. If you raise seven or eight, you have to feed them at home often. In this way, there is not much food at home, so why are you willing to be eaten by the chicken?"

"Who said I want to feed the chickens? I have a way to raise chickens. I..." Li Chengqian thought of a chicken-raising TV program I had watched before and said.

When Gui'e heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at him expectantly.

At this time, a loud voice rang outside the door: "Wang's husband is in, Bandung is here to send pork to your house!"

When Li Chengqian heard this voice, he stopped and turned to look at the door. Gui'e also turned to look out.

Seeing a big man at the door wearing a coarse black cloth clothes, sleeves and waist clothes, he could see the greasy and smoothness. It seemed that he was a pig slaughter.'When Li Chengqian was in the East Palace, it was very difficult to eat a piece of pork. Later, he tried to hit the wall with his head and ate the pork. But in that struggle, he knew that the Tang Dynasty's view of this pork was strange. They believed that the nobles could not eat pork. After eating it, they lost the portion, and only the common people would eat pork.

The pork is so delicious, is it contemptuous?

Li Chengqian was very strange about this idea, but later he saw the live pig, he understood.

Scientists say that pigs love animals that are the most pure, but they are not the ones who love them, but they can be clean. In addition to environmental problems, there are also reasons for their beliefs. The pigs raised by modern farmers are stolen to death, let alone the backward ancient times of the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, anyone who has seen live pigs from the Tang Dynasty has no food to eat pork.

Li Chengqian also reduced the number of times he ate pork.

But this is just a reason, and there is another more important reason: all pigs in ancient times were black!

That’s right, after Li Chengqian came to the Tang Dynasty, he never saw a white pig, all of which were black!

This is a very strange thing. How come there are no white pigs? There are so many white pigs in modern times, aren’t they left in history? Even Zhu Bajie on TV is so cute that there is no such thing as a result of the Tang Dynasty?

If Li Chengqian could read the original work of Journey to the West, he would actually find that Zhu Bajie was not a white pig, but a black pig. It was not that Wu Cheng'en wanted to demonize Zhu Bajie, but that the pigs of his era were also black. The white pig "seems" did not enter China in the late Qing Dynasty. I won't say much about the historical knowledge here.

Anyway, Li Chengqian couldn't find a white pig, so he couldn't even eat it when he saw that the pig skins served on the table were all black, let alone those Tang Dynasty nobles who hated pigs after they were born young.

Now that I heard that ten thousand butchers came to deliver pork, it seems that the Wang family often eats pork!

Gui'e next to her face felt a little embarrassed when she heard the voice of Wanlong. Why is this Wanlong look nonchalant? There is a distinguished guest here, so he shouted out like this. Not only did they stop discussing the new method of raising chickens, but Li Chengqian also knew about the Wang family eating pork. It was really a waste of time!!

When Gui'e was in and out of nowhere, Wanlong came uninvited and walked in from the door, wiped his oily and black hands on his clothes, smiled at Gui'e, and then looked at Li Chengqian with some hostility.

"Thank you for your hard work, Wan Butcher, drink a bowl of water!" Gui'e's face returned to calm and said to Wanlong.

"Thank you, husband." He pointed at Li Chengqian and asked, "Is this one? Is it a new tenant?"

Gui'e introduced Li Chengqian's identity to Wanlong and told him about the water windmill yesterday, with a tone praising Li Chengqian.

This made Wanlong very dissatisfied and said, "We are very grateful to Master Li to come to our Wangjiazhuang to help with the work. However, if Mr. Zhu from the imperial village knows this, it would be bad. If you think Master Li was driven out by Mr. Zhu, you can be an apprentice in my Wanlong place and you can survive by killing pigs!"
