Chapter 105 Meeting a Thief on the Road
Li Shimin, who slumped on a chair to digest after the meal, said slowly, "Master, why is your pig so delicious?"

Li Xiao doesn't want to move, and the reason has been explained to many people, and he repeats, what's the point.

"Your Majesty, let Huaiyu tell you, I am really fed up!"

In Qin Huaiyu's heart, am I not full?He shook his head and said helplessly, "Master Zan said that as long as this pig is castrated, it can grow rapidly and can get rid of most of the peculiar smell. Also, after processing the distiller's grains left over from the brewery, it can also be fed to the more than 1000 pigs. As for pigs, pig manure can be used to fertilize field crops after fermentation.

This is called, what is it called? "

"Ecocycle!"

"For the ecological cycle, this is the cycle!"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, "Gao, you raise a pig in a chain. Send me a few pigs later, and then let the people from the imperial dining room come to your village to learn the craft."

Li Xiao shook his head quickly, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's because those pigs haven't grown up yet, it's a pity to eat them now!"

If this is agreed to Li Shimin, then what about Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, wouldn't they all be arranged?
Occasionally, it’s okay to eat a roast suckling pig. If you give it away once, there will be no second time?Sending them every now and then, you are not in charge of the family and don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt!

"Stingy, I'll go buy it when I get home!"

Seeing Li Xiao's stinginess, Cheng Yaojin became annoyed, "Could it be enough to castrate him before eating?"

Li Xiao instructed with a shy face, "Uncle Cheng, the little piglets don't have much smell and can be eaten directly.

But if you want to have no peculiar smell in the big pork, you have to castrate the little pig when it is full moon. If you don’t mind the trouble, send some people to my pig farm to learn it, and it will be fine in three or two days. "

Li Xiao had no choice but to change the method instead of giving benefits to the uncles, "You guys can also send your cooks to come to my Zhuangzi to learn how to cook, just remember to bring some beef that fell to death!

If you study, you will definitely waste a lot of meat! "

Li Jing and the others nodded their heads dubiously, and Li Xiao was like a fox who had eaten a chicken, secretly smiling, now the boss is generous, I don't charge you tuition fees, and pay it with beef!
After drinking and eating, Li Xiaoke politely sent Li Shimin and the others away. A group of people came either ashamed or sad, but they were all full of joy when they left. That is why Li Shimin and his actions were so awkward, and they bowed their waists. , Did you eat too much?Not so!

"Master, master!"

Li Xiao turned around and saw Guanshi Zhou running over from the shed in a hurry, "What's wrong? You're in a panic."

Manager Zhou didn't wait to catch his breath, "Just now someone came to report that the greenhouse was stolen!"

"what?"

It's not a big joke that one's own cattle farm can be stolen. Is being a guard just a display?
Li Xiao asked anxiously, "What was stolen? How much is it?"

"Understood, my boss, the strawberry greenhouse, the strawberries in Sanlong, the red one is gone!"

Li Xiao's head froze, and he asked in confusion, "The strawberries were stolen? Are the other things still there?"

"I went to count just now, and only the strawberries were stolen."

Li Xiao let out a long sigh, I understand, no wonder Li Shimin and the others bent their backs when they left. It turned out that they had something in their arms. If they were really thieves, why didn't they go to the glass workshop after sneaking into Niuzhuang?

Take something anywhere, and you won’t have to worry about the rest of your life after selling it!

"The guards on patrol, did they just change their guards?"

"Yes, we will change when the time comes."

"Then you asked the last batch of escorts, what's the situation?"

Zhou Guanshi replied in a reasonable manner, "Their defense changes are seamless, is it necessary to change?"

Li Xiao sighed softly, "Then if your own people went in to pick it up, would you say that the guards would give special instructions when handing over?"

"Of course not, the shipment is not recorded by them, oh! You mean"

Li Xiao quickly waved his hands, "Don't mess around, I didn't say anything!"

Then he went back to the house and muttered, "People's hearts are not ancient, isn't it just that I didn't give you pigs for my property? But the piglets really didn't grow! As for playing like this?"

In winter, it is a little quiet.

This morning Li Xiao slept in again.

The pork that was not eaten last time was marinated and smoked into bacon and sausage.

"No, eat meat in the morning."

Li Xiao complained about the cook's brain circuit while drinking millet porridge.

The stewards outside the hall were in a hurry as always.

"Boss, there are two matters. Li Gang, the prince's young teacher, went last night."

Li Xiao paused for a while, "Are you in your 80s?"

"I'm 85. I'm too old. I haven't made it through this winter." Steward Zhou said softly.

Although Li Gang is a well-known killer of the prince, he has nothing to say, "Old Zhou, prepare your things according to the etiquette, and I won't go."

"Okay, boss, there is one more thing. Just now Carpenter Cai sent his apprentice to report that the wool carding machine he researched has produced results."

"Oh? This is good news." Afterwards, Li Xiao ate the millet porridge in a big gulp, and went to check alone to see how the wool carding machine worked.

In the new workshop by the Bahe River, the hydraulically driven wool carding machine is running creakingly.

"Old Cai, did you succeed?"

Carpenter Cai heard the voice, held a handful of wool in his hand, and showed joy, "My lord, the first few times it was stuck after running for a while. The longest time was running for three hours. After yesterday's improvement, It's been running all night."

"Not bad, it's good to be able to run for six hours. Let's run it for a few days first. If there are no problems, we will make a few more. The wool sent by Xue Yantuo has already arrived in Taiyuan."

Carpenter Cai said with some embarrassment, "My lord, we don't have much wool. The wool in hand has been combed many times. During the test, I asked my apprentices to mess it up by hand before trying it again."

"Can't buy it?
"There is no place to buy them. The sheep slaughtered in Chang'an City are kept for their fur and made into jackets. Only grassland people who raise sheep will shear their wool."

Li Xiao sighed helplessly, "Just do it according to your method. After you have combed it, then manually disturb it. There is also the matter of cleaning the pool. The scale should also be expanded. After washing the wool with alkaline water, the sediment left behind will be transported. Go to the soap workshop.

Lanolin can also be used to make soap. "

After that, Li Xiao went to the strawberry greenhouse and searched the whole greenhouse, only three or four catties of red ones.

With gifts, he rode a horse and walked to Princess Changle's mansion.

Along the way, the content of common people’s conversations has changed a lot. The popularity of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" has dropped, and the popularity of the Cyclamen auction has also passed. Most of the chatter is about the New Year, and the price of goods has risen.

In front of the princess mansion, the gatekeeper saw Li Xiao approaching, and the two gatekeepers immediately stepped forward, leading the horse and pedaling, "My lord and princess are in the mansion."
