Master Jiang's request is not difficult. Originally, their trip was for the cattle and sheep in Mobei, but now they are bringing back more living animals.

Murong Li also knew about the trade plan, so he nodded and agreed to Master Jiang's request.

"Okay, when the prince returns to the capital, he will definitely send you live cattle and sheep. After you breed more, you can eat meat to your heart's content!"

Hearing what he said, Master Jiang's chubby face immediately burst into laughter, and he quickly poured Murong U Li a glass of wine himself to express his gratitude.

Before Shi Qing, his appetite for food was not very strong, and he could not fully understand Master Jiang's pain.

There are no cattle or sheep, there are other animals, so you shouldn’t give so much just to order cattle and sheep!

Shi Qing thought about it and asked.

Lord Jiang said with another bitter look.

"There are also beasts, and the hunters will catch some from time to time, but these game have a strong fishy smell and the meat is of poor quality. It is really not that delicious!"

Shi Qing didn't expect that Mr. Jiang was also a food lover.

"Then what kind of meat do the people of Tonganzhou eat?"

Shi Qing was aroused by Mr. Jiang's curiosity. Is the meat in Tong'anzhou really unpalatable, or is this person too naughty?

Mr. Jiang was also straightforward. He turned around and gave instructions to the maid next to him.

After a while, the maid brought over a large bowl of stew.

Shi Qing's sensitive nose smelled it okay, the meaty aroma was rich with a hint of fishy smell, which was okay!

When the maid put it on the table, Mr. Jiang signaled Shi Qing to have a taste.

Shi Qing had a detoxifying pill, and he was not afraid of being poisoned, so he actually picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

It is soft in the mouth, the meat is not woody, and the sweetness and saltiness are moderate. It can be seen that the cook has a good grasp of the heat.

If there is any problem, it is that the fishy smell in the meat affects the appetite.

Seeing him frowning slightly, Mr. Jiang knew that the young master must have tasted it.

"Master, what do you think? The chef at Xiaguan's house has processed this, otherwise the smell would be even stronger!"

His words made Shi Wen Shiwu on the side also become curious, so he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it too.

Isn't this just meat? It's not much different from what they have always eaten. It even tastes better because of the chef's skill.

Shi Qing swallowed the meat and drank some tea to clear his mouth.

"It does have a fishy smell. Is this the meat that people often eat?"

"Exactly, this is the meat of a kind of beast called dolphin. It has a docile personality compared to other beasts. It grows quickly and eats everything without being picky. Therefore, many people's homes feed this kind of domestic beast for food. edible."

Dolphin? Isn't it just a pig?

Only then did Shi Qing suddenly realize.

The meat his family usually eats is chicken, duck, and fish, which he later purchased from the system. He really didn't notice that everyone was eating such fishy pork.

Mr. Jiang seemed to have found a confidant and poured out his bitterness to Shi Qing.

"Young master, you now understand how I feel. This time we are all going to the North. By then, if you have eaten the beef and mutton there, you will know how painful it is for you. The meat has no fishy smell at all, and some of it is... It has a milky fragrance, even if it is dipped in a little salt, it will still be so fragrant~ I am drooling just thinking about it!"

Shi Qing found it funny, Master Jiang is really a foodie!

However, he had seen a documentary in his previous life. It seemed that pigs had to be raised in pieces before they were raised.

The first is to save costs: pigs can be slaughtered in 6 months after cutting, which saves feeding costs.

The second is to make the meat taste good: before the pig is castrated, the sex hormones secreted will make the meat taste unpleasant, but after the pig is castrated, it will not have this smell, and the meat will taste delicious.

The third is to facilitate management: pigs after cutting are relatively quiet, without the stimulation of sex hormones, the pigs have a docile temperament and are relatively easy to manage.

The fourth one seems to say that if male and female pigs are raised in the same pen, they are prone to estrus, and the female pigs are prone to pregnancy, which will make it difficult for them to eat well and grow meat.

Therefore, not only boars but also sows must be mutilated.

Thinking of this, Shi Qing knew what the problem was. The pork he bought from the system was cut into pieces and naturally had no odor. Only then could Shi Wen Shi Wu feel that whatever he bought was delicious~

"I've heard of a way to reduce this fishy smell..."

Mr. Jiang's eyes lit up. If he could get rid of the fishy smell of dolphin beasts, he wouldn't have to spend a lot of money to buy cattle and sheep from distant Mobei and raise them. After all, there is not such a large pasture here for cattle and sheep to eat.

The other three looked at him strangely, as if they didn't expect Shi Qing to even know about this kind of breeding issue!

Shi Qing saw that the people here were all men, and what he was about to say seemed a bit cruel. He paused for a few seconds, and Master Jiang urged him impatiently.

Shi Qing picked up the teacup and moistened his throat and said.

"I heard that cutting off the eggs of a dolphin beast can make the meat more delicious. The dolphin beast will also reduce its heat and grow more meat. It can be ready for slaughter in up to six months!"

His words made several men stare, their legs tightened unconsciously, and they all picked up teacups to drink tea...

However, Mr. Jiang is more eager to eat meat.

"Is what the young master said true?"

"It's true, it's really true!"

Mr. Jiang was thoughtful, and it seemed that he really took it to heart.

After a few people finished eating and sat for a while, they got up and left. They had to continue on their way.

Mr. Jiang was also very grateful and sent the person out of the city gate.

"If the method mentioned by the young master works, when you return, I will definitely hold a banquet for you. I will also ask you to remember your request and bring back cattle and sheep to ease your homesickness. !”

Murong Li took the money and naturally nodded in agreement. Then with a wave of his hand, the team continued on their way.

After that, a new profession emerged in Tong'an Prefecture - craftsman, a craftsman who was responsible for cutting off the testicles or ovaries of livestock.

This is based on the instructions of the adults in the state. The craftsmen will make a cut on the part to be chopped, hook out the pig's testicles or ovaries, and then cut them off with a knife. After a few days, the pig's testicles will be cut off. The wound will heal with almost no scars.

At that time, many people laughed at Jiang Hongcai and discussed privately whether the governor had special preferences. Unexpectedly, half a year later it would be a really sweet scene!

When the piglets grow up and are ready for slaughter, they are not only fat and strong, but the most important thing is that the meat is less fishy and tastes much better whether it is stewed or roasted.

Those who raise pigs make a lot of money by selling pigs, and they even sent Mr. Jiang a lot of pork to express their gratitude!

And Jiang Hongcai did not take all the credit. He wrote to His Majesty the method of cutting and said that it was the credit of the people around the fourth prince.

After receiving the advice, Murong He sent people to Tong'anzhou to verify, and brought back a few chopped piglets to feed in Huangzhuang, ready to taste it himself.

Since then, the people of the Central Plains have finally been able to eat the meat of dolphins and beasts that is not shameful, the cooks have also been put to use, and the delicious people have a good taste!

Due to the change in meat quality, the demand for dolphins has also increased. Many farmers have begun to raise pigs. People's diet has improved, farmers' families have also increased their income, and more farmers have entered schools. , all because of a small idea that caused many chain reactions...
