Feng Yong turned around and looked, it was Zhang Bao.

All I heard was Zhang Bao say, "Since you can give An Guo one more piece, I think you won't mind giving me one more piece.

Why?

Guan Xing is my brother-in-law, what do you mean to me...cough!

Forget it, for Zhang Xingyi's sake, just give it, it's no big deal.

"Well, no problem, I will write two more copies, and Zhang Junhou will also get one."

"You are no longer a prince, but you have become a prince. Pay attention to your words and deeds."

Guan Xing frowned and said, "Besides, Xingwu and I are brothers and sisters. Why do you need to be so hostile to Xingwu when you call me brother?"

Feng Yong began to sweat slightly on his forehead again. One was his brother-in-law and the other was the brother of his ex-girlfriend. And these two were good brothers. It seemed that neither of them were good...

Zhang Bao seemed to see Feng Yong's thoughts, glanced at him, and expressed concern with his eyes.

Guan Xing coughed and said, "Nanxiang is your territory. If Si Niang goes there, people should pay attention to it, but don't let her suffer any injustice."

"No, no, no," Feng Yong wiped his forehead, "I have already passed on the news, so people can watch carefully."

You actually sent the news a long time ago?

Upon hearing this, Guan Xing glanced at Feng Yong meaningfully.

Zhang Bao also squinted over at the same time, with a strong sense of defensiveness in his eyes: What do you want to do?

What can I do? It's you who asked me to help keep an eye on you. I told you that I had already sent the news, and you look at me like this. What do you mean?

So boring!

"Brothers, I'll go and order the chef to cook the food first."

Feng Yong really couldn't stand the weird atmosphere, so he had to grease the soles of his feet.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao looked at each other and didn't say anything. Feng Yong stepped back in embarrassment and said, "Um, brothers, what do you want to eat? I asked the cook to make some as well."

Alas, a bunch of people outside called me brother. When I got back to the house, there were two more brothers, which was a bit unaccustomed.

Guan Xing pondered for a moment, "The pig's trotters that Sanniang brought home last time tasted good, very delicious, and chewy when eaten. There were several big ones, big pig's trotters."

"big……"

Feng Yong opened his mouth, groaned, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Bao, on the other hand, was a little surprised and surprised when he heard that Guan Xing wanted to eat pig trotters, "Is that thing edible?"

Guan Xing nodded, "You can't eat anything made by others, but this little... well, the one made by Feng's house is outstanding. If Sanniang hadn't said it was made with pig's trotters when we ate it for the first time,

I still don’t believe it.”

"Since An Guo said so, let me have a few too." Zhang Bao nodded and said emphatically to Feng Yong, "Big pig's hooves."

Feng Yong:……

"Brothers, I am not a big pig's hoof."

Feng Yong said weakly and weakly.

Guan Xing glanced at Feng Yong worriedly, "Are you okay? Why are you talking nonsense?"

I wondered, could it be that His Majesty and the Queen suddenly came to Feng's house, which made the brother-in-law too nervous, causing the old illness to relapse?

"No one said you were a big pig's hooves, they told you to be a big pig's hooves."

Zhang Bao also followed suit.

What the hell...

I don’t want to be a big pig’s hoof either!

Feng Yong glanced at the innocent two people resentfully and retreated in defeat.

After a while, the aroma of food began to fill the house.

The food in the Feng Mansion never disappoints anyone. At the banquet, Adou took a bite and praised it. His chubby face looked even more round and happy because his mouth was full of food.

I especially have a soft spot for braised pork, and my mouth is full of oil after eating it.

Even Zhang Xingcai, a woman, showed no sign of weakness. Not only did she wipe away all the sweet and sour pork ribs on her plate, Feng Yong even saw on her face that he still had unfinished thoughts.

So he hurried down and asked someone to make a few more portions of each dish, thus satisfying the appetites of several people.

Before leaving, Adou packed up all the uneaten food at his house. Even Guan Xing wanted to keep two pig trotters and take them back to his house to eat slowly, but Adou took them away.

"Brother, don't worry. Although the pig's trotters are gone, there is still half a fan of pork in the kitchen. What else do you want to eat? I will ask the cook to make more later and have them delivered later."

Feng Yong quietly comforted Guan Xing.

Meat at this time was still very precious to most people.

During the Han Dynasty, pork was not only not relegated to the lowly status it was in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but on the contrary, its status was improved compared to the pre-Qin period.

There is a record in "Huainanzi" written by Liu An, a royal family member of the Western Han Dynasty: The husband's food is large and the pig is the top sacrifice, and the pig is not a wise beast like the elk, but the gods eat it alone...

In other words, pork is the finest meat and is usually used to offer sacrifices to gods.

There are even dedicated pig farmers in the homes of big landowners.

However, before Nanxiang started raising pigs on a large scale, most people in the world raised pigs, which was called pig herding, that is, they drove the pigs to the wild to look for food, just like herding cattle and sheep.

Pigs raised in this kind of herding style have extremely fierce personalities. Most people really can't be a pig butcher. At least strong strength is a necessary condition.

After the pigs are castrated, the pigs will become docile and will not jump over the fence, making them suitable for fattening.

As the castration technology in Nanxiang matured, it became popular to raise pigs in houses in Hanzhong.

The manor-style agriculture in Hanzhong provides part of the food source for raising pigs, and part of it comes from pigweed in the wild. Some people even follow the example of Nanxiang, planting bamboo heads in large areas and using the stems and leaves as feed.

And the bamboo heads underground can be dug up and used as food rations for the slaves in the manor.

From this point of view, the Xu family originally planned to sell the couch to Feng Yongnuan, but was eventually thrown into the field to farm by Feng Yong. Mrs. Xu played a major role.

Having solved the problem of feed sources, it was only natural that this method of raising pigs became popular, and it even began to spread to Jincheng.

Today, Wu Ming, the leading figure in the castration industry, is the famous "Knife" in Hanzhong. He leads his disciples all day long in the pig houses of various manors in Hanzhong. Wherever he goes, pigs wailing and chickens and dogs jump.

Every time he attracts crowds of people to watch, he feels the envy and admiration in their eyes, which makes Wu Ming feel that his life has reached a climax, that his life has reached its peak.

Wu Ming is now one of the most popular people in Hanzhong among the managers of various estates. Every time he helps castrate pigs and chickens for other families, his pockets feel bulging.

With the rise of the pig industry, in addition to providing meat to various households, it also supplies a large amount of meat to the workshops, ranches and mines in Nanxiang, so that the meat supply in Nanxiang is finally no longer tight.

Especially in mines, it is hard work, with a lot of labor and a lot of calories that need to be supplemented.

If there is no meat supplement, the food consumed is staggering, and it may not provide enough calories.

Wu Ming asked Wu Ming to take his apprentices to various pig farms to help with castration. First, he wanted his apprentices to accumulate more experience. Second, Feng Yong wanted to promote the pig industry as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the first industry with output effect in Nanxiang's education industry.

Now some people have begun to think of ways to poach Wu Ming's apprentices, and the price paid is not low.

It is a pity that everyone underestimates the importance Feng Yong attaches to the education industry-the castration industry also falls within the management scope of Nanxiang education circles.

In addition to the shackles that were put on them overtly and covertly, Nanxiang was known as the place where demons danced, so it naturally had a special aspect compared to other places.

For example, Wu Ming has the status of an official subordinate to the Yizhou Diannong School. Although it is a very small official title, and it may not be regarded as an official position recognized by the imperial court.

But for the poor people in Nanxiang who have just struggled to survive from the food and clothing line, it is already something they have been longing for for three lifetimes.

Although only one Wu Ming can wear the official hat, at least it is a kind of hope, a hope that cannot be seen elsewhere.

There is also a school where future generations can learn to read and write, which is enough for those Guizhou heads who have just turned over and become good people to stay here.

Not to mention the benefits of having no worries about food and clothing, and the bright future of our children and grandchildren.

How can this be given by other places that still treat them only as low-status craftsmen?

Therefore, Nanxiang Gongfang Ranch is still a place where the broad masses of people want to settle down.

Compared with other places in Hanzhong, Nanxiang at this time was like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in later generations, with a strong attraction.

With the large influx of people, there are abundant human resources, and Feng Yong can reserve talents more unscrupulously.

Now Fengzhuang already has a large piggery, and there are even two castrations on the farm, both of whom were apprentices under Wu Ming and were transferred from Nanxiang.

Therefore, there was no shortage of pork at the farm, so Feng Yong found an opportunity and quickly improved his brother-in-law's favorability.

After all, after he leaves for Yuejun tomorrow, he will have to rely on his brother-in-law to help look after Zhuangzi.

"Today's dishes are all served in two portions, one for Anguo's house and one for mine. Especially the candied red meat, make more of it, it's delicious!"

When Guan Xing heard Feng Yong's words, he thought that this guy was quite sensible, but before he could speak, someone suddenly came over and interrupted.

"Now this pork has lost its old smell and tastes much better. You are even better at raising a pig than others. You are indeed a capable person."

As Zhang Bao spoke, he chewed his mouth and seemed to be licking the meat foam between his teeth. He was a little dissatisfied, "You didn't treat the emperor well when he came, so you did that little bit. You are so stingy." !Not enough to eat...burp~"

Then he burped.

If he couldn't beat him, Feng Yong would really want to beat someone's head.
