If a fairy lives in your head, your whole family will become rich

Chapter 72
"Ah, my chicken wings! Eight sisters!!"

Xiang Wulang lowered his head just in time to see Bamei take away his chicken wings and yelled.

Xiang Dalang, who was next to him, knocked him on the head and said, "There are so many meats and vegetables. What's wrong with giving your eighth sister a chicken wing?"

Xiang Wulang: "."

He didn't say not to feed Bamei.
Although the banquets in rural areas are not as luxurious as those held by wealthy families in the county town, the banquets are more abundant. The villagers can fill their bellies and happily pack up the remaining meals to go back.

"Brother Tianan, are you full?" Xiang Tiange asked Ge Tianan.

"Come on, hurry up, don't you want to go see Mr. Xiang's house and see some pigs?"

Qu Xiang grabbed two dumplings made of white flour mixed with vegetables and meat from the table and stuffed them to Ge Tianan, "Here you go, I saw you didn't eat much just now. You must not be full now. Take it with you on the way." Eat, let’s go see some people’s wild pigs!”

Qu Xiang had never seen a pig being bred. Although he knew that pigs had to be castrated in order to grow faster and have better meat quality, he had only read about it in a book. He was familiar with the process of bred pigs. Never seen before.

Qu Xiang has never seen it, and Xiang Tiange has never seen it either. Although there are people raising pigs in Taohua Village, in the past, the family thought the place where pigs were raised was dirty and smelly, so they never let her see it.

But now that Xiang Tiange is older, Lao Xiang's family also knows that she is more sensible. In addition, there are several brothers watching her, so the adults are relieved that she goes out to play.

Naturally, Xiang Tiange would not say that he went into the dirty and smelly pigsty. Even though Xiang Sangong's family cleaned the pigsty diligently, the place where the big pig lived was still very smelly.

And the piglet breeding will naturally not be carried out in the pig pen.

That's why Xiang Tiange wanted to go to Xiang Sangong's house with his brothers to see how they slaughtered pigs.

Xiang Sangong is the only family in Taohua Village that raises pigs. Therefore, the houses built by Xiang Sangong's family are all brick houses. Besides the village chief's family, Xiang Sangong is also the richest family in the village.

But now the villagers of Taohua Village are not so sure, because there is also an old Xiang family. Although the old Xiang family's house is still a stone house, their family has sent all their grandchildren to school!

Even if the school repairs are reduced by half, the total cost is not a small sum, so the villagers in Taohua Village feel that Lao Xiang's family should be richer than Xiang Sangong's family now.

When Xiang Tiange and the others arrived, they hadn't even started slaughtering the pigs yet!

This pig was naturally not picked by the villagers of Taohua Village, and no one had this skill.

I asked Sangong’s family to hire a specialized pig-stewing craftsman from Dashan Village next door to help with the pig-stewing. Dashan Village is much larger than Taohua Village, with more than 100 households. Therefore, Dashan Village also has two li long and one li long. The chief is in charge of one hundred households in Dashan Village, and the other chief is in charge of the remaining dozens of households and the twenty households in Taohua Village.

Because Dashan Village is relatively large, there is a market in it. Villagers from several nearby villages will come to the market in Dashan Village to buy or exchange things if they do not want to go to the county seat.

After all, no one is willing to go all the way to the county town just to buy a piece of meat or a piece of tofu, right?

So I usually buy it at the nearest market!
Xiang Tiange and others watched as Xiang Sangong's family grabbed piglets one by one from the pig pens nearby and stuffed them into cages specially made for piglets, and then moved the cages with piglets into the yard together.

The pig butcher has to do the pig slaughter in the yard, because the space here is spacious and the sight is bright, and it can be cleaned and used as a cushion to keep it clean!The pig-picking craftsman also has to ensure the survival rate of the pigs that have been cut from his hands. Otherwise, if too many pigs are cut out under his hands, his reputation for relying on survival skills will be ruined.

Therefore, the pigmakers have to choose a place to castrate the piglets!

"It's started, it's started!!!"

There were other children from Taohua Village who came to watch the slaughtering of pigs like Xiang Tiange and others. When everyone saw the pig-sharpener finishing sharpening his knife and grabbing a piglet and was about to start slaughtering the pigs, they all shouted excitedly.

Xiang Tiange also shouted excitedly along with them. She didn't know why she was so excited. Everyone was shouting like this anyway, so she just followed.

The pigmaker's craftsmanship was indeed extremely exquisite. Xiang Tiange felt that she hadn't even looked at it carefully when he grabbed a piglet and put it into another cage with the knife in his hand.

"Aunt Shui, are you going to slaughter all these piglets? Aren't you going to keep a few as breeding pigs?" Someone nearby who had a good relationship with Xiang Sangong's family asked curiously.

Aunt Shui, who is Xiang Sangong's eldest daughter-in-law, is now the head of Xiang Sangong's house. Aunt Shui said: "If I don't stay, the two pigs I raise have already eaten enough food in the house. No more." , I can’t afford to raise them anymore! I will only keep two of these piglets, and when they are weaned, I will take them to the county and sell them.”

When they heard that she was going to sell the piglet, some people who had been very interested in the fact that they could earn so much money by raising pigs asked, "Aunt Shui, how long will it take for this piglet to be ready for slaughter?"

"If you feed them more food and feed them more, they will usually be born in nine or ten months. If it takes a little longer, it will be about a year!" After saying that, Aunt Shui looked up at the person who asked this question in confusion and said, "What? You?" Do you want to raise piglets at home?"

This piglet is not easy to raise. Not only do you have to take good care of it, but you also have to worry about whether it gets cold or hot. Otherwise, if it gets sick, the piglet will not live long.

The person who asked this question obviously also had this level of worry. When he heard that it would take so long to raise pigs before they could be slaughtered, and that raising pigs cost a lot of food, the person thought about it and gave it up. He waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I'm just curious. Ask!"

While a few people were talking, the pig butcher had already finished carving all 12 piglets.

Xiang Tiange stared at the cage containing the mutilated piglets with his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open.

It wasn't until she was pulled away by her brothers that she slowly came back to her senses, ran over and said to Qu Xiang, who was also a little surprised: "Have you counted them?"

Qu Xiang nodded: "Yeah, I've counted."

"Wow - there are actually 12 little piglets! They were all born from the belly of a big pig. How could it give birth to so many piglets?"

Xiang Tiange was shocked!

Qu Xiang, who was next to him, was also shocked, "The book only records the pig maker, but I didn't see that a big pig could give birth to so many piglets."

The two looked at each other and sighed: "Big Pig is really working too hard!"
