Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 114

Winter is coming, and the farther north is in Sardinson, the colder it gets. Many people have already put on fur clothes, but the cold weather has not quenched the heat in their hearts. Putting into work, they have more job opportunities this winter. Whether they are working in factories or working in engineering teams, the income they get is enough for their families to have a comfortable winter. In their spare time, their attention All on their pigs.

In Sardinson County this year, almost all those who can raise livestock have raised pigs, which were brought back from the castle by the territorial people.

Pork is not delicious this year, except for suckling pig nobles who hardly eat pork, so the price of sows that can conceive and give birth is much more expensive than that of boars. A group of sows are raised on the farm in Kezhen to cultivate offspring breeds. Of course, it is more cost-effective to buy cheap boar piglets.

Moreover, boars are also easier to grow fat than sows. Generally, boars are fatter than sows.

The colonists took Piggy from the castle in March and April. At that time, the piglets were heavier than the piglets of the same age. By June, they had already weighed 50 to 60 pounds. At that time, everyone was very happy. This is the weight of pigs that they have raised for seven or eight months before the winter when the pigs are released for slaughter.

Anyone who has raised pigs knows that once the pigs grow to a certain weight, they will not grow anymore, and they will even lose weight if they are raised, so many people think that these piglets grow to fifty or sixty pounds is the limit, so one by one At that time, I couldn't help but run to the steward in the castle who was in charge of sending them piglets and asked if they could receive pigs.

They figured it out very clearly. When they first went to the castle to pick up the pigs, they agreed that two-thirds of the meat on the raised pigs would go to the castle, and the rest would be theirs. At this time, they killed the pigs and said Maybe they will be able to raise a few more before winter.

So when they went to ask the castle if they would accept pigs, they also asked if there were any piglets that they could take.

In this way, in winter, they have a lot of pork to eat.

Of course, the castle disagreed. The stewards had already given orders, telling everyone who came to ask that these pigs would not be harvested until winter.

They had to tell the people who came to ask again and again: "Why are you worried, the Countess said, these pigs can grow to at least seventy or eighty pounds, kill them now, and the rest Do you want to supplement the dozens of pounds?"

The people who raised pigs couldn't believe it when they heard it. A pig shepherd who used to raise pigs was the first to jump out and say, "Can it grow to 70 to 80 kilograms? Sir, are you kidding me? It used to be possible. I've never grown into a pig that big."

"Isn't there a pig that was stoked before, or the earl sent it to you for free? Has this kind of good thing happened before?" The representative lady can't raise it. When she was inciting pigs, didn't you think that those piglets were not big enough to raise? Now look, aren't they big enough to raise? Isn't it difficult to raise them?"

The people who opened their mouths did not speak.

They really couldn't accept the matter of fanning the pigs at first. They always thought that the piglets who were fanned would not live long. When they first brought them back, they were worried every day, worried that the piglets would die someday, but they have been living well. , and has a better temper than the pigs who have not been incited. In the past, the residents had small houses and no livestock sheds. They lived with livestock. In winter, they even needed to sleep together with the body temperature of livestock to keep warm. If they had bad tempers Domestic animals are prone to accidents if they are not careful.
