My village can't be like this

Chapter 387

Hearing Zhang Jianwen's shout, Zhang An walked to the door and immediately saw a car full of black rolling mountain pigs.

These guys have small heads, but their noses are very long, much longer than those of ordinary pigs.

This is because they often move around in the mountains and prefer to use their noses to dig into the soil.

Therefore, the snout of this kind of mountain pig tastes leaner and is full of muscles.

But when eating, you have to remove the outer skin. After all, they often use their noses to dig into the soil, and the outside has long been covered with a layer of old skin.

If you don't remove it, you won't be able to eat it at all, and it won't stew well in a pot.

"Oh, uncle, our two families want this cart of pigs. You only need two, just pick out the rest and give them to me. There is no need to pick."

Most people buy piglets based on their mouth shape and appearance.

If a pig has a good mouth, the food will naturally taste delicious, so generally piglets with good pig mouths will grow quite fat.

But Zhang An doesn't pick on these things here. As long as it's not a sick pig or a defective piglet, he doesn't care.

Even a piglet that can't think straight, is too skinny and doesn't eat much will become fat when it comes to their home.

When Zhang Jianguo went to sell piglets before, he bought a piglet that didn't like eating very much.

When I came back, I was often nagged by Wang Fang at home, but in the end, the guy had a good meal at Zhang An's house.

In the end, he was white and fat and was carried to the big desk.

It was probably a smart piglet that knew that its life would be in danger if it gained weight, so it only ate a few bites per meal.

He probably thought that he would eat less pig food so that he would not gain too much weight and could live longer than his other brothers and sisters.

But unexpectedly, Zhang An's pig food was no ordinary pig food, even if that guy didn't have a great appetite and usually only took a few bites of pig food.

In the end, I succumbed to the temptation of pig food and completely forgot about my previous dream of losing weight.

Because around the time the piglet was bought, the pigweed used to cook pig food in Zhang An's home was all cut from Zhang An's space.

And in order to help them develop good eating habits, Zhang An added some space spring water when cooking pig food.

Space spring water has a magical allure to animals. No matter if they kill animals, they can't even walk when they see the spring water, let alone the most gluttonous among animals, the second senior brother.

"That won't work. You still have to choose what you should choose. After all, this is a business."

Because the owner of the piglets was a relative of Zhang Jianwen, he wanted to avoid suspicion and insisted on letting Zhang An pick first.

After saving it, some people will say that he is wrong in every possible way.

"Then I won't be polite to you, uncle."

According to Zhang Jianwen's moral character, if Zhang An didn't choose, he would not pick first.

So Zhang An didn't be polite to him, stepped onto the carriage and started picking piglets, otherwise he would have been in a stalemate for a long time, which would be a complete waste of time.

Although he was picking pigs, Zhang An always took them as soon as he saw them, so he didn't look like he was picking pigs.

After all, there are only ten piglets in this cart. Zhang Jianwen only needs two at home, and the rest are his, and it doesn’t matter whether he chooses or not. .

"Okay, uncle, I'll leave you with the last two ends and pull them back."

There were two piglets in a pig cage. Zhang An picked up four pig cages and got out of the car and put them in the yard.

There was still a pig cage left on the carriage, and the two piglets inside were so fat that they were almost as round as balls.

Those two little pigs are good pigs at first glance. Their staple food will definitely taste very good and they will grow faster. Otherwise, they would not have grown like a round ball at such a young age.

"It's not Zhang An. Take these two pigs back and give me two thinner ones. Otherwise, the skinny pigs will be given to you. How can you do this?"

Zhang Jianwen knew that those two ends must have been specially left for his family by Zhang An, but how could he accept it.

It would be fine if someone else sold it, but this was a relative of theirs, and they were about to exchange it with Zhang An for two piglets.

Of course, Zhang Jianwen would not choose the thinnest one.

After all, when others sell things, the best and the worst are usually paired together and sold together.

The same goes for piglets. Piglet dealers usually mix better-looking piglets with worse-looking piglets and sell them together.

"Okay, uncle, just take them away. Don't look at the fact that some of these little pigs are thinner, but if you look at them again in two months, they will definitely be bigger than your two little fat pigs."

Zhang An was too modest to say this. It didn't take two months, at most half a month, and these piglets would definitely change a lot.

And if Zhang An wants them to grow faster, he can just throw them into the space for a few days, which is basically equivalent to raising them outside for several months.

Besides, the space is so big and the ground is full of fresh green grass.

The mountain pig is a breed that yearns for freedom, and the space is undoubtedly suitable for them.

"Yeah, your pigs are so good at growing, so I won't be too lazy to be stubborn with you."

After listening to Zhang An's words, Zhang Jianwen thought of the pigs that Zhang An's family had raised before.

The previous batches of piglets were obviously bought and raised by Zhang Jianguo and his family.

But in less than two months, Zhang An's pigs looked bigger than theirs.

At first, Zhang Jianwen thought it was because his family was reluctant to feed him corn, so he started feeding him corn noodles.

But in the end, the longer time passed, the bigger the difference in the size of the pigs between the two families became.

By the end of the year, there is no problem for Zhang An’s pigs to grow to more than 300 kilograms, or even bigger.

As for their pigs, they can only grow to more than 200 kilograms a year. It is basically impossible to exceed [-] kilograms.

More than once, he had suspected that Zhang An's family was feeding feed. After all, feeding pigs with feed did make them fatter.

But when I went to Zhang An's house, I didn't find a feed bag.

When it was time to kill the New Year pigs at the end of the year, he believed that the Zhang An family had not bought feed to feed the pigs.

Because the taste of pigs raised on feed is obviously different from that of pigs raised on pure grains.

Especially for pigs fed a lot of feed, the taste and texture are worse, and the pork still has a fishy smell.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jianwen stopped worrying. Anyway, Zhang An's family is good at raising pigs, so a few thin pigs are not a problem at all.

Finally, with the help of Zhang Jianwen and his relatives, several people lifted the eight pigs into the pig pen and then opened the pig cage.

These pigs have not been disciplined by him yet, Zhang An will definitely not let them out now.

He planned to keep them in there for a few days. After all, if they stayed there for a long time, the piglets would slowly call this place their home.

After Zhang An gave them ideological education, he let them play outside, and they would not think about going home until dark.

Only then did Zhang An find out that the man selling the pigs turned out to be uncle Zhang Jianwen's nephew.

That is, the nephew from my aunt's family, Zhang Ping's cousin, named Jin Xiaobo.

"Brother Jin, this is Piggy's money."

After closing the pigsty, Zhang An returned to the house and took out the money.

One pig costs forty, eight pigs costs three hundred and two.Although ordinary piglets are weighed by the pound before being sold, this Gunshan pig is different from ordinary pigs.

There are relatively few people selling, so the price is calculated based on the whole head.

But it’s not expensive at all. A piglet weighs about ten kilograms, so it only costs more than three yuan per kilogram.

However, there are also thinner piglets, so if you pay 40 yuan per head, you will lose a little bit.

But Zhang An didn't care about the money. After all, the pigs were delivered directly to the doorstep, saving the family the effort of selling the pigs.

"Brother Zhang An, some of your piglets are relatively small, so take the 20 yuan and calculate it as 300 yuan."

Jin Xiaobo only took 320 yuan from the [-] yuan handed over by Zhang An, and didn't ask for the rest.

If they were sold with a big one and a small one, he would naturally not give up the price.

But Zhang An had just left the two biggest piglets to Zhang Jianwen, so Jin Xiaobo wanted to give up the price.

After all, he is related to Zhang Jianwen's family, and they are relatively close.

Zhang An would naturally not refuse if someone offered him a price. That's how business is, and it's not just a favor.

"Uncle, please sit down first. I'll get you some tea. I forgot about it just now."

They were busy cleaning up the pigs just now, so the three of them were still standing in the yard talking.

After paying the money, Zhang An remembered this and greeted the two of them.

"No need to be busy, we have to take the pigs back. The carriage is blocked on the road, making it inconvenient for others to get in and out."

Zhang Jianwen refused Zhang An's invitation to stay as a guest, and drove home in a carriage with his nephew.

After watching them leave, Zhang An walked to the pigsty again.

The little piglets, who were humming and barking just now, seemed very quiet now.

It turned out that Xiaohu and his family members were lying at the door of the pigsty watching them.

These piglets are still very young. Looking at the tiger cubs that are as big as lions, they are so frightened that they dare to scream.

And according to the relationship in the food chain, pigs are herbivores, while tiger cubs have the blood of green wolves.

So fundamentally, this group of rolling mountain pigs are tightly restrained by Xiaohu and the others in terms of blood.

"It's okay, don't be too scared. You will be a family from now on. They are the bodyguards I have specially found for you. If you establish a good relationship with them, you can walk around in this village from now on."

Zhang An comforted a few piglets, and then turned around to drive away the tiger cubs.

Seeing Zhang An chasing the dogs, Xiaohu and the others returned to their dens dissatisfied, just looking back as they walked.

Maybe it's because this group of piglets has just arrived. Xiaohu and the others are curious about the piglets and are observing these new tenants.

It is absolutely correct to say that they are tenants. The animals living in this circle basically have to pay rent to Zhang An.

Dahua's family and several stags use their antlers to pay off debts.

When Bohu and Qiuxiang gave birth to two deer cubs, Bohu used his own urine to repay the debt.

The Dahei couple help with the work all year round. Chickens, ducks and geese contribute a lot of eggs every day. Sometimes Zhang An's family has to sacrifice a few family members when needed.

The big tigers are responsible for looking after the house and the courtyard, and the sheep sometimes contribute milk and even mutton.

The only ones who could do it for free were the Dahuang family, and they didn't give Zhang An anything.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch. One day, they will have to use their own bodies to repay the rent they have owed over the years.

Not to mention these little piglets, at the end of the year it will be time for them to pay their rent.

While there was no one at home, Zhang An brought these piglets into the space.

After spending some time, I finally educated them, although they were not as understanding of human nature as Xiaohu and the others.

But now this group of piglets can understand some of Zhang An's instructions, such as circling, eating, etc.

But even so, Zhang An had no intention of letting them out and keeping them closed for a few days until the plantains were dug up.

Otherwise, if they are released now, they will run into the orchard and seriously affect other people's work of digging plantains.

After coming out of the space, Zhang An also picked up a few mud balls.

Although they are said to be mud balls, they are not actually mud balls, because these mud balls are hollow in the middle and contain space grapes.

This is a foreign method of storing fruits. Zhang An only remembered it some time ago.

In fact, he doesn’t understand either, but the future is a big world on the Internet, and you can see a lot on your mobile phone.

For example, this method is what Zhang An saw on a short video.

Once he went to the orchard to pick grapes, and he picked a lot because they were cheap.

So on a whim, I searched online on how to preserve grapes for a long time.

It turned out that this method could preserve grapes for several months. Zhang An didn't know what to think at the time, so he tried it himself.

Sure enough, those grapes were preserved for more than four months and can still be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Although it is not as long as half a year as mentioned on the Internet, four months is a lot, and Zhang An's technology is not mature yet, so it is normal for the time to be shorter.

So some time ago, he had an idea. After remembering this method, he immediately picked some grapes in the space.

After all, the grapes in the space are so delicious. Zhang An really wants to give some to his family, but he has put it aside for no reason.

Now that he thought of this method, he immediately made a lot of mud cakes in the space and put a lot of grapes in them.

By now the moisture on the mud balls had dried, Zhang An moved them all to the cellar and stored them.

In order not to make the old mother suspicious, Zhang An specially placed them behind a pile of sweet potatoes.

That is the innermost part of the cellar. Normally Wang Fang would go in there to get things and would not go there.

In a few days, when the soil is completely dry and dusty, Zhang An will take it out.

It will definitely give Su Ying a surprise. After all, since she was pregnant, besides being sleepy, she also likes to eat very much and her appetite has greatly increased.

But in this day and age, not many fruits are available in this season.

Su Ying had eaten a lot of the fruits sold on the street and was already tired of them.

When the time comes, take out these grapes and give her a change of taste.

After placing the mud balls, Zhang An blended some white wine made from blood rice into the space.

When it is basically blended to more than 50 degrees, it is almost ready.

Most of this batch of blended liquor was stored in the cellar of the spatial courtyard by Zhang An.

Only a dozen jars were taken out and placed in the wine cellar they had just dug.
