Chapter 333 Processing of Bacon and Ham
Pigs are good meat animals, with fast growth and delicious meat, but they can only graze a small amount of grass and consume a lot of grain. Non-large households cannot breed them. I did not expect that Chaijiazhuang has such strong strength.

"There are so many pigs, Chaijiazhuang is really a rich place." Cao Zheng sighed.

Chai Lindao: "This is just the beginning. Some time ago, [-] gilts were sold on credit in Chaijiazhuang and its surrounding areas. By next year, at least [-] to [-] fat pigs will be sold."

"This, this, this is completely impossible. Brother, if it's Cao Zheng who doesn't believe it, it goes without saying that ordinary farmers have a land of ten or eight acres at home. They can grow some wheat and sorghum besides eating and paying taxes for themselves. The surplus grain is used to raise pigs," Cao Zheng said.Cao Zheng's family can also be regarded as a big pig raising family, raising four sows, and slaughtering dozens of pigs every year. It is because of this that he has a good understanding of the food intake of pigs. I can't raise so many fat pigs.

"There are newly planted sweet potatoes and potatoes in my village, all of which can produce four to five thousand catties per mu. Even corn can produce seven to eight hundred catties per mu, which is much higher than traditional wheat, sorghum, and soybeans. The most important thing is that pigs love to eat, and the meat grows quickly after eating, which is why so many pigs are released to farmers. The problem of selling more pigs is a problem. The business is going to make ham and bacon, which is convenient for long-term storage and sales, so I want to invite Cao Brother Zheng came out of the mountain to preside over this work, and trained dozens of experienced hands to come out.

Cao Zheng patted his chest and said, "I'm the best at this, and I promise to complete the task."

As he spoke, Chai Lin took a short knife with a scabbard from Chai Meng. It turned out to be a pig-killing knife made of iron. The knife was less than a foot long, but it was very sharp, with a sharp blade.

"Brother Cao Zheng, this knife is given to you, and it should be treated as a meeting gift." Chai Lin said.

The more Cao Zheng watched it, the more he liked it. He couldn't refuse this gift. What he needs most is a good knife.

"Thank you brother for giving me the knife. I will kill the pig for my brother so that everyone can eat the meat." Cao Zheng said.

Chai Lin said: "Okay, the position of supervisor of the pig processing workshop is reserved for you. Brother Cao Zheng doesn't have to rush there. When the caravan arrives someday, you can go with the big ship."

"Okay brother."

There were other customers in Cao Zheng's store, and he was busy greeting them.

Chai Lin, Chai Meng, and Shi Jin ate meat and drank wine in the guest room. Shi Jin said, "Brother, it's really surprising. The average farmer can raise two fat pigs, but my brother has tens of thousands of them."

"It's all the scraps left over from the grain processing workshop. It's worthless if you sell it. It's better to convert it into pork. It's not late autumn. After a few days, it will start processing bacon and ham as soon as it gets cold. Brother Cao Zheng is the teacher of Lin. Big apprentice, you have to take care of him." Chai Lin said.

Chai Meng said: "I don't think he may appreciate it, after all, the business of this store is good."

"If he doesn't go, then it's not our problem. If the coach asks, we can talk about it." Chailin said.In fact, when encountering such indecisive people, Wu Yong had the best solution, which was to burn his shop to nothing, and he obediently went there.However, Chai Lin's way of handling things is just the opposite. Chaijiazhuang is not short of money, and if the recruitment flag is raised, there will be people who eat food. There are many butchers who kill pigs, so recruiting people is still very easy.

Chai Meng really hit the spot, Cao Zheng went back to the kitchen, Cao Zheng's wife scolded: "Where do you come from for free food?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, you lady. That's Cangzhou Chai Daguan, how many times he has taken care of our business. Today I came with a letter from my master Lin Chong. I saw that the treasured knife on my waist is gone. Snowflakes Tie Dao, a good guy who is hard to find." Cao Zheng said.

Although this woman is unruly, she still understands the basic etiquette, and said: "I was wrong, I think they are mysterious, and they gave you a treasured sword, what do you want?"

"There are a lot of pigs to kill in his farm, and he wanted to hire a skilled butcher, so my master recommended me. This is Mr. Chai, and this is the training envoy of the Cangzhou regiment. He has thousands of people in his hands. My master has all I'll make a living at his place. I'll have to continue if he gives me a face. Besides, the situation in Qingzhou is getting worse day by day. It's hard to say how long our store can last. We have to leave a way out for ourselves." Cao Zheng said.

Cao Zheng's daughter-in-law talked, and said: "The head of the family still has the foresight. Seeing bandits everywhere in the good Qingzhou, it is time to make a good plan. You take two apprentices to Cangzhou to have a look. It is not appropriate for me to stay and guard the shop. If so, you also have a way out, if it suits me, I will go there."

"What did you do in the past? The business of our store is very good." Cao Zheng said.

The mother-in-law grabbed Cao Zheng's ear and said, "I don't know that you are like a boar when you come out."

"Don't mess around, don't mess around, I'll go and have a look, and send someone to pick you up if it's appropriate." Cao Zheng said hastily.

After eating, it's getting late.At about ten o'clock in the evening, Chailin waited out.

Cao Zheng said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Chai Lin said, "We're leaving, you just need to remember the past sometime."

Cao Zhengdao: "No way, Qingzhou is no different than other places. It is very dangerous during the day, and it is even more dangerous at night. Bandits and bandits are everywhere. This place is very close to Qingfeng Mountain and Erlong Mountain. If you encounter bandits It's troublesome."

Chai Lin slapped the sword on his waist and said, "I'm going to meet the bandits when I go out at night. The dwarf tiger in Qingfeng Mountain dared to attack my Chaijiazhuang. Tonight, I will meet him while the moon is passing by." .”

Cao Zheng couldn't stop him, and he had no choice but to send the three of them out of the inn. In a blink of an eye, they were already a hundred meters away.

Cao Zheng rubbed his eyes, "Oh my god, these three people know how to do light work, and they're gone."

Mrs. Cao Zheng cleared the dinner table and came out and said: "The head of the house, there are 20 taels of silver on the dinner table. Mr. Chai is really a showman."

"You mother-in-law is very short-sighted. You can't be like this in the future. Friends from the rivers and lakes, come to have a meal, even if you don't give money, it's worth nothing." Cao Zheng said.

The mother-in-law curled her lips: "I don't know who is stingy, but when Yang Zhi came to eat free food, you cut off the gate of the courtyard."

"Ahem, cough, I'm going to feed the horses, it's getting late, I'm going to bed." Cao Zheng said and went to the stables.

Let's talk about the three of them taking advantage of the night and rushing all the way to Qingfeng Mountain. How much time did it take, and they soon arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.

In the hazy moonlight, this mountain stretches for more than ten miles, like a giant dragon coiling across, and the waterfall on the mountain can be heard rushing down from a long distance.

Chai Lin sighed and said: "A mountain without water is called a mountain, and a mountain with water is called a dragon. This mountain is rich in spring water, and it is a treasure land of geomantic omen."

Shi Jin said: "Brother, these bandits live in this geomantic treasure, no wonder they make trouble."

"Brother Shi Jin, there is no need to worry. I know the four leaders of this cottage. The first leader, Jinmaohu Yanshun, was originally a cart driver. , is also a despicable and shameless villain, cruel and violent. The third is Sun Erniang, who makes steamed buns on Dashu Shizipo. The fourth eldest, Zheng Tianshou, is a silversmith. Only this fourth eldest has no serious bad deeds. What the other three did , has a very bad reputation in the Jianghu. A person like this can't achieve anything, and he can be killed with a snap of his fingers." Chailin said.

Chai Meng said, "Brother, what shall we do?"

"Let's go up the mountain first, and then we'll talk about finding their lair."

The three of them hid in the dense forest, avoided countless traps, and came to the camp on the hill.
