In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 801

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang Yong stepped out of the dormitory, Chen Da, the deputy commander of Chen Jiajun, approached him and gave him a task: to slaughter a pig!

That's right, it's slaughtering pigs!

As early as just after the Spring Festival last year, Chen Dao bred a breed of pig called the White Pig. Compared with the native pigs that are common in Xia Kingdom, the White Pig is obviously superior. Although it has the disadvantage of having a relatively poor taste, its merits outweigh its flaws!

For the people of Xia, whose food was generally lacking in oil and fat, the white-skinned pig, which grew relatively quickly and had a high fat content, was undoubtedly an excellent breed of pig.

The white-skinned pigs not only grow quickly, but also reproduce well. Now, a year later, the total number of white-skinned pigs in the village has exceeded 2000, thanks to the breeding of white-skinned pigs by Chen Dao and others.

Today happens to be the day when Chen Dao plans to put the first batch of white-skinned pigs on the market.

"Don't make such a fuss."

Seeing Fang Yong's strong reaction, Chen laughed and said, "Slaughtering pigs isn't anything shameful, why are you making such a big deal out of it!"

"Uh……"

Fang Yong scratched his head. For someone like him who had once struggled to get enough to eat, slaughtering pigs was certainly not a shameful job, and he didn't think of it as a lowly thing like those high-ranking officials.

only……

Fang Yong hesitated and said, "But I've never slaughtered a pig before!"

"It doesn't matter if you've never killed anyone, as long as you have the strength!"

Chen said with a grin, "As you know, the village is on holiday recently, and there's a shortage of manpower. If the soldiers of our Chen Family Army don't take on this job, I'm afraid Dao Ge'er will have to step in himself!"

Mr. Chen slaughtered a pig?

Fang Yong's eyelids twitched involuntarily. Although slaughtering pigs was not a lowly job, Fang Yong still found it hard to accept that his most respected Mr. Chen would be the one to slaughter pigs!

"Stop talking, General, I'm willing to go slaughter pigs!"

In order to prevent his most respected Mr. Chen from personally slaughtering the pig, Fang Yong had no choice but to volunteer to take on the task.

"Okay! Wait a moment, I'll go get a few more people!"

Before long, Chen Da found several more soldiers from the Chen Family Army. After obtaining their consent, he led five soldiers, including Fang Yong, to the village's pig farm.

At this moment, Chen Dao and all the managers of Chenjia Village gathered at the pig farm. Fang Yong and the others saluted Chen Dao upon seeing him.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Ah."

Chen Dao nodded in response and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work!"

Fang Yong and the others all shook their heads. They felt from the bottom of their hearts that it was an honor to be able to do things for Mr. Chen, and they did not feel that they were working hard at all.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin!"

Chen Dao gave the order, and Chen Hualong, the factory manager in charge of all affairs of the pig farm, immediately took action, sending people to lead out five fat white pigs from the pigpen!

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of everyone present as they gazed at the plump, white pig.

In the Xia Kingdom, pork was considered a cheap meat by many people of the lower classes because it had a very strong odor that could not be masked by adding any amount of spices.

Therefore, the upper class of the Xia Kingdom almost never ate pork.

Of course, the upper class in Xia Kingdom doesn't eat pork because they have other options; they can eat chicken, duck, or even mutton and beef.

For ordinary people, even pork, which is extremely smelly, is still a rare food. Not to mention, even if pork is not eaten, it can be used to render lard.

In short, for ordinary people, Pigsy is a treasure from head to toe, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most precious treasure in their hearts!

However, because the native pig breeds of Xia Kingdom are of inferior quality, grow slowly, and have a low fat content, the people of Xia Kingdom do not actually like to raise pigs. This results in very little pork being sold in the market, and the working class can hardly afford to eat this meat, which is considered cheap meat by the upper class.

However, this situation is about to change!

The white-skinned pigs bred by Chen Dao not only reproduce quickly, but also grow extremely fast. They can grow to 200 jin (100 catties) in about half a year. If the white-skinned pigs can be bred on a large scale, it may be a little difficult to let all the people of Kyushu have a bite of meat, but it is not a problem to let all the people of Chenjia Village, and even the entire Taicang County, have a bite of pork.

Whether or not the white-skinned pigs should be bred on a large scale depends on whether the villagers of Chenjia Village can accept pork as a food.

Although all the leaders of Chenjia Village believed that white-skinned pork would sell well in the village, this was just speculation. Before the white-skinned pork was actually on the market, no one dared to be sure whether it would sell well or whether the people would accept this kind of meat. This was one of the reasons why Chenjia Village had not bred white-skinned pigs on a large scale before.

"Let's begin slaughtering the pig!"

At Chen Dao's command, Fang Yong and the other four men, who had been brought by Chen Da, immediately grabbed pig-slaughtering knives and, under the guidance of Chen Hualong, the pig farm manager, plunged the knives into the pig's neck.

The white pigs, in pain, were driven by their survival instinct to struggle violently. The force of their struggle would have allowed an ordinary person to break free in an instant.

However, Fang Yong and his four companions are now all mid-level martial artists, so it's impossible for them not to be able to control a 200-pound pig. This is why Chen Dao specifically asked Chen Da to call in soldiers from the Chen family army to slaughter the pig.

Pigs may seem harmless at first glance, but when they really start struggling, they are so strong that it would take three or five men working together to hold them down.

Only a martial artist with immense strength like Fang Yong could easily subdue them.

Even while holding down the white pig beneath him, Fang Yong was still able to free up one hand to catch the pig's blood gushing from its neck.

After the white pig beneath them stopped struggling and the blood was collected, Fang Yong and his four companions began to slaughter the pig under Chen Hualong's guidance.

"This pork doesn't seem to have a very strong fishy smell?"

Chen Lian picked up a piece of sliced ​​pork, smelled it, and then spoke.

"Because these pigs have all been castrated!"

Chen Hualong smiled and answered Chen Lian's question: "The boars in the pig farm, except for those kept for breeding, are all castrated. This is a method that Brother Dao taught us!"

Chen Dao, who traveled from Earth, naturally knew that pigs needed to be castrated.

Many people think that pigs are extremely lazy animals, but that's not actually the case!

Just look at the wild boars in nature; they are energetic, irritable, and aggressive, often fighting with other wild animals or breaking into villages and destroying villagers' houses and farmland.

In short, pigs are animals that can't sit still, and as we all know, whether it's humans or animals, when they exercise too much, they gain weight more slowly...
