Chapter 178 Grain Processing
Then marinate it in a jar. It will be marinated for more than 20 days before it can be sold. The large jar must also have the date of marination written on it.
This is actually a monopoly business, because salt is in charge and is not allowed to be sold casually. Pickles are managed by salt, and there are not many pickle workshops in total. Xuzhou sells a lot on its own territory and exports it. In fact, the cost is very low, the labor is cheap, the vegetables are grown by themselves, and salt is dried by the beach.
Compared to the lively pickled vegetable shop, the grain processing shop is even more lively.
Wang Heng organized sergeants these days
There are a total of 200 sets of stone mills and 200 sets of stone mills in the grain processing workshop covering an area of 20 acres.
This was built by Lu Bu's old senior, Lord Tao Qian. In order to prevent the enemy's besieged food from the war, the grains that were all contained in the city, and the mills and stone mills that processed the food were naturally also in the city.
Dozens of donkeys were pulling a mill and crushing the corn. The corn had relatively large particles. If you feed the pig directly, it would be difficult to digest. After crushing and crushing, it would be very good to feed the pig.
The person in charge of the pig farm was also there, and Lu Bu asked him: "How many big fat pigs are there now?"
"Sir, there are more than 1,200 fattening pigs with more than 200 kilograms, and more than 400 kilograms. Now we are using corn, dried sweet potatoes, bran, and grass powder top dressing. Although it is cold, it grows very vigorously."
"The pen is sure to keep warm. The roof of the pig house should be repaired and reinforced. In addition, the feed ratio of yours is not scientific enough. I remember telling you that you should add fish meal."
Seeing Lu Bu’s questioning, Qin Zhubo immediately came over and explained: “The lord was too busy a few days ago and didn’t have time to ask him. We didn’t know what fish meal was. We asked the fishermen nearby that it was small fish such as white fish. They fry it in a pot, stir-fry it thoroughly, and then crush it, and it was fish meal. But this kind of fish meal is expensive than pork.”
Lu Bu secretly said that he was careless and forgot that this was an era of poor materials and backward technology. Freshwater fish and fish meal was expensive and very unprofitable.
The small fish in the sea that is said to be rotten without water is a good choice for processing fish meal. The fish meal is very nutritious. After eating it, the pigs have a bright fur and grow more quickly. Only a few kilograms of grain can be mixed in a hundred kilograms of grain.
"The fish meal problem is put aside first. I will find a way to solve it next year. The problem of pig house insulation must be improved immediately, especially the young pig houses, which use yellow mud and red bricks to build fire walls and kangs to keep warm, so as to prevent the piglets from freezing to death. I will go to check in three days."
"Okay, lord. Let's do it now."
Qin Yilu and the owner who was responsible for raising pigs left. It was not because they were not serious about doing things, but because of the restrictions of the times, they believed that pigs should live in a relatively simple and rude manner.
However, the pig has poor stress resistance. Once a cold wave comes, heavy snow falls, and the damage will be severe.
The owner of the pig farming master Bo muttered: "What's the matter? Build a kang and a fire wall for the sow pig, which is better than my father's treatment."
Qin Yilu glared at him: "Correction of your attitude, the lord did not stop you from building a fire wall for your father, not to mention that the governor's mansion raised so many pigs, but Lord Lu did not eat meat alone."
"No, no, I'm just talking."
The two of them trotted around, and there were quite a few pig houses between mother and son, totaling 300. Each pig house had about ten pigs, totaling more than 3,000. No wonder Lu Bu arranged for heating facilities to be built as soon as possible.
Qin Yilu summoned more than a dozen technicians from the pig farm to see how to make a reasonable job. The kang is obviously not suitable. Pigs are different from people and will not be so honest on them.
After discussing, we will build a small fireplace. The outside of the pig house will burn fire and warm the inside. The smoke will walk through the walls and warm the walls. The only thing to note is that the roof is made of a wooden shingle structure and needs to be paid attention to fire protection.
The pig's destructive power is too strong, so he can only use red brick cement to make a fireplace to reinforce a layer of yellow mud to prevent fire.
This is a pig house run by the government. The pig houses of each army are mostly smaller. Taking Xuzhou Iron Cavalry as an example, only a hundred pigs were raised, and as soon as autumn began, I arranged to keep warm.
Lu Bu also had to re-emphasize that raising pigs is easy, but raising pigs is difficult.
"Lu Tong, beat drums and gather generals."
Dongdong, Dongdong, the low war drums were ringing, dull and powerful.
The generals arrived soon, but although there are many soldiers in Xuzhou now, there are really not many generals.
Chen Gong was a military advisor and also led troops. Hao Meng and Zang Ba, there were only three main generals in total.
After visiting, Chen Gong asked: "Lord, what's the matter? Call us over in such a hurry."
"Big, big things. Master Yu Ji predicted that this year is cold and the winter is extremely cold. The pig farms of each army, especially the pig houses, will be arranged to build a fireplace immediately."
The generals breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought it was a big deal, so I did insulation a few days ago. Some soldiers lived in the pig farm day and night, and prepared warm wooden boxes. Once the temperature dropped, they would put the pig in. Four bonfires were set up near the pig house. Once the temperature dropped sharply, the bonfires would not go out day and night, which could dispel the cold." Zang Ba said his method.
Lu Bu nodded: "It turns out that there are many people and great power. Your method is good. I have to arrange a pig farm to set up a few bonfires and light them when the temperature drops."
In fact, bonfires are also disadvantages. They cannot be used in strong winds, but it doesn’t matter. Xuzhou has plenty of coal and cheap coal. You can build several stoves with red bricks. You can light coal and firewood. This will ensure the maximum safety around the pig house, and ensure that the pigs can survive the winter safely.
Hao Meng was surprised: "Why does the lord attach so much importance to the issue of pig farming?"
"The quality of pig farming determines whether soldiers can eat meat. The quality of diet determines the quality of the military advisor's physique. Otherwise, when others eat meat, you can only watch it, so you must pay attention to pig farming."
These days, the cattle cannot be eaten, and it is an important productivity.
Although sheep can be eaten, they have few fetal numbers, slow growth and small size.
The one that can be eaten is pigs. Pigs grow fast, have a large number of fetuses, and have strong resistance to disease.
Chen Gong was very anxious because the pig farms under their army were not managed well. Once the temperature suddenly dropped, the piglets would have to freeze to death.
After distributing the bill, we all went to arrange the pig farm.
At this time, the pig farm was busy, building fireplaces, processing roofs, and adding wheat straw to the sows and piglets to keep warm.
If a pig can speak, he will definitely be very curious. What is this?
In addition to the issue of food and drink, it is also a question that concerns whether the theory of pigs and food security in the world proposed by Lu Bu can be realized. It is necessary to ensure the survival rate of pigs, and keep warm during the winter.
Zhu Bin, who is far away in Teng Country, is studying pig ingredients at this time, such as corn, sweet potato, bean cake, and bran. What proportions should be reasonable? This is a new topic, because when people are not full, they are too advanced to study pig nutritional matching, and people are still not used to it.
