Chapter 324
There is a saying in ancient times that every generation of dogs slaughtered by Zhengyi, most of them are scholars. From this, it can be seen that most butchers in ancient times slaughtered meat dogs instead of killing pigs for a living like later generations.
This is because most of the meat eaten by the ancients was mutton or dog meat. Although some people ate pork, they were very few.
The reason is nothing more than the fact that pigs in ancient times not only produced low meat, but also had a bad taste. The ancients would rather use various condiments to deal with the fishy smell of mutton and dog meat than toss pork. This shows that pork The taste is really indescribable.
Xiao Jie, as a time traveler from later generations, of course knows the reason. It is nothing more than because the boar's estrus period is too long, which causes the pork to have a strong smell, and the pig not only eats less during the estrus period, but also has a bad temper. Also irritable, resulting in no growth of meat at all.
Since it is said that all evils and prostitution are the first for boars, the best way is to cut off the source of all evils. As long as the pigs of the future generations go through this knife, they will instantly have no desires and desires, and the rest of their lives will only be eaten and slept. , and didn’t like to move anymore, each of them was full of fat, and the meat production increased in an instant.
Moreover, once the boar is castrated, the pork will no longer have that smelly smell, and it will instantly become a delicacy that everyone loves.
Xiao Jie adhered to the compassionate feeling of not only wanting to feed the people, but also to let the people eat well. He decided to let Daning and the general pig farming flourish everywhere in the future. Pork can enter thousands of households and become the delicacy on the table of every ordinary people.
But in fact, Xiao Jie also sent someone to find out, and found that people in this era knew that castrated pigs could remove the smell of mutton and increase pork production, but they had not popularized castrated pigs on a large scale, simply because castrated pigs were easy Died from wound infection.
However, the ancients did not learn microbiology, did not know the existence of bacteria and germs, and did not know how to disinfect and sterilize the wounds. Therefore, eunuch pigs could easily die from germ infection.
But this is a trivial matter for Xiao Jie, after all, his first pot of gold after crossing is distilled wine, and it is not easy to distill disinfectant alcohol with a higher concentration.
However, another important reason why the ancients were unwilling to raise pigs is that pigs are so edible. If you raise a dog, the dog usually feeds some leftovers, and occasionally finds food by itself. It will also find grass and leaves to eat.Only pigs eat too much food. Ordinary people are hungry and full, so how can there be so many leftovers to feed pigs.
But once corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are promoted in the future, most people will have a certain amount of food in their homes, enough to support one or two pigs, and they can cut some sweet potato vines and sweet potato leaves to feed the pigs from time to time. Anyway, this stuff is only a few days old It grew back again.
It's just that there are still very few people raising pigs among the people, Xiao Jie can only send people to collect and buy a large number of live pigs from the people first, and then use the knife together, but he didn't expect that Lian Yi's work efficiency is so high, and he will respect the next day The people in the room went to the Sili Xiaowei's mansion, and Xiao Jie could only ask them to temporarily place them in his own mansion, arrange for them to treat them well, and at the same time ask his own soldiers to educate them about how to clean their wounds with alcohol Disinfection knowledge.
It's just that as soon as he heard that these people from the respect room lived in Prince Qi's mansion, Xiao Jie felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of many people in the mansion looking at him, Xiao Jie even saw a trace of resentment in their eyes, which made him a little baffled.
That night, Xiao Jie wrote and drew in his study as usual, and under his pen, a silkworm room took shape.
Jamsil is the room in the palace where castration is carried out, but from a certain point of view, it is also equivalent to the earliest surgical operating room. After all, in addition to cleaning and disinfecting the knife and wound, the disinfection and sterilization of the place where the knife is used is equally important.
Just when Xiao Jie was about to finish his work, there was a light knock on the door, followed by Su Yao's soft voice: "husband, may I come in?"
"It's okay, come in." Xiao Jie couldn't help shaking his head helplessly. He had told Su Yao many times that she could enter her study room at any time, but Su Yao still insisted on knocking on the door every time to get his permission before coming in. In other words, this matter is related to the rules of Prince Qi's mansion and the majesty of King Qi. As Princess Qi, she must lead by example, and Xiao Jie can only let him come.
The door was gently pushed open, and Su Yao walked into the study with a bowl of hot tea, but Xiao Jie noticed that Lao Hu, the housekeeper of the palace, followed Su Yao into the study, but kept his head down and dared not Look at Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie suddenly understood a little bit in his heart. In all likelihood, the housekeeper Lao Hu wanted to find him, but he didn't dare to say it, so he begged Su Yao to intercede.
However, he was a little curious for a while, thinking of the strange eyes that the people in the mansion looked at him recently, he also wanted to know what happened recently, and why the people in the mansion always felt weird.
Su Yao brought hot tea in front of Xiao Jie, and said with a smile: "husband, it's like this. Recently, there have been some rumors in the mansion, which made many people in the mansion feel uneasy. I only think it's a big deal to ask Huber to find me. I am not good at making decisions by myself, so I brought Hu Bo to see my husband, and I hope my husband will forgive me."
Xiao Jie suddenly realized, no wonder the mansion looked at him not quite rightly recently, it was these rumors that caused his feelings, but for a while he was more curious about what kind of rumors could make people panic in his mansion.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Lao Hu, and said with a helpless smile: "Hu Bo, next time you can just tell me about this kind of thing, there is no need to go through the princess."
Lao Hu took a look at Xiao Jie, and he didn't know where the courage came from. He suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, and begged: "Your Highness, forgive me, this old slave is forced to do so. There is no disrespect towards Concubine Su and Concubine Tao, and I dare not molest the female relatives in the mansion... I just ask His Highness to show mercy and not castration on us... We really don't want to become men and women. "
Xiao Jie was dumbfounded for a moment, and he also understood why everyone looked at him strangely these few days. The people in Ganqing Mansion thought that they recruited the people from the Respect Room to eunuch all the male servants in the mansion.
But it's no wonder, as the king of Qi, he can indeed use eunuchs as servants in the palace, and there are indeed several palaces in Luoyang who find someone to castrate the male servants because they are worried about their male servants. These male servants have all signed contracts of selling themselves, and there is no room for objection or rejection.
Now Xiao Jie suddenly brought the people from the respect room back to Prince Qi's mansion, which naturally made all the male servants in the mansion panic. In the end, he always recommended the housekeeper Lao Hu to come forward for them, hoping to persuade King Qi Xiao Jie to take back his order.Lao Hu didn't dare to approach Xiao Jie directly, thinking that the princess has always been kind-hearted, and the king of Qi has always respected the princess, so he thought of asking her to come forward to persuade the king of Qi.
Although Su Yao guessed that with Xiao Jie's character, she would not think of imposing castration on the male servants in Qi's mansion, but seeing the panic-stricken appearance of the servants in the mansion, she still decided to bring Lao Hu to ask Xiao Jie clear.
At this moment, Xiao Jie looked at the terrified butler Hu, and then at Su Yao who was smiling and silent. He really felt a little ridiculous.
What is this called!The pig hasn't been eunuched yet, but it has disturbed his family.
