Zhang Feng was in a good mood when he saw that the matter was settled.
He patted the disappointed Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Zhou, do a good job. I can guarantee that if I, Zhang Feng, can't teach you to become a Jinshi in the imperial examination three years later, I, Zhang Feng, will present my head to you!"
Ma Zhou was shocked when he heard this.
He hurriedly said, "As a teacher, you can't do this! It's already a great honor to be able to study in the academy. As a teacher, please don't do this. Otherwise, Ma Zhou will only feel ashamed to face you! "
Zhang Feng knew that Ma Zhou would feel aggrieved in his heart.
This would directly affect the growth of these pigs. He then said carefully, "I know that you must think that raising pigs is such a lowly and shameful thing. How can a Confucian student be entrusted with such a lowly and shameful thing? You're wrong. If it's an ordinary pig, I naturally won't let any of you touch it. Even if you want to raise it, I will drive you out! "
"But this is different. The porridge that you eat every day has this pork in it. Let me ask you, how many people can afford to eat mutton now? This pork is basically the main source of income for the people. However, this ordinary pig can only reach a weight of about 50 kilograms after a year. Moreover, it is extremely thin. However, I have found a way to make this pig grow to 200 kilograms within three months! "
"Moreover, it doesn't have a foul or fishy smell. Not only that, I also want to use this pork to replace the realgar powder in the porridge. When the time comes, it will be able to enter the elegant hall and become the Emperor's breakfast. The reason why I didn't ask others is that I'm worried!" "You're very careful.
"You are meticulous, and you are a scholar. You know what these animals need to eat, and so on. These are all knowledge. If there is a little problem with one of them, it will affect the taste of the pork. That is why I asked you to come. Do you understand my difficulties?"
"I'm doing this for the welfare of the people in the world. I'm making an excellent breakfast for the Emperor!"
Finally, Ma Zhou was shocked by Zhang Feng's persuasion.
He couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Three months? Two hundred catties? And it doesn't have a foul or fishy smell? This … is something prepared for the Emperor? For the welfare of the people in the world … "
"Yes!"
Zhang Feng continued to tempt him, "Think about it. Isn't this what the Sages said, 'Bow your head and be willing to be an ox, frown and be pointed at by thousands of people'?"
Zhang Feng's famous sentence erupted once again.
He didn't care if Ma Zhou could understand him or not. In any case, he just said whatever he wanted to say.
The flesh on Ma Zhou's face trembled as he spoke.
He was abnormally excited.
What is this?
This was a teacher imparting moral principles!
This was something that could never be learned from books, poems, etiquette, or the Book of Songs. But now …
Zhang Feng was also pretending to be impressive.
As for the purpose …
Let's not talk about it then.
It was all to trick Ma Zhou and let him raise pigs for him with peace of mind. After all, he had been craving this thing for more than a day or two.
After that, Zhang Feng took Ma Zhou and the old Xiucai and knocked on the old eunuch's door.
The old eunuch was from the palace and was called Eunuch Gao. However, her common name surprised Zhang Feng.
His name was Gao Zhengyi.
"Eunuch Gao!"
Gao Zhengyi opened the door and was somewhat displeased.
"Old Man … Old Man already said that you can call me Old Gao or Old Gao. You brat, what are you trying to do?"
Eunuchs who left the palace were generally not allowed to use the name of the palace, nor could they use the word 'eunuch'. After all, it was a disgrace to the royal family.
Moreover, Gao Zhengyi was also flustered.
He was originally cleaning people in the palace, but after he left the palace, he became involved in the business of raising pigs. Although they were all Daoists, it was still somewhat embarrassing.
At this moment, Zhang Feng scratched his head embarrassedly. He didn't mind at all. His skin was as thick as the city wall.
"Well, I found a few helpers for you today. This is Ma Zhou, my brother. He has experience in raising … well, this is Zheng Tufu, and his son Zheng …"
"Ahem, I'm Zheng Fengxian."
Zheng Tufu's son knew how powerful this master was. Seeing that Zhang Feng didn't know his name, he hurriedly added.
"Today, I was thinking that since you all live in the same building, you should basically take care of each other in these matters in the future. Old Gao, I'll leave this matter to you. As for what you want, you just need to tell Ma Zhou."
Old Gao pursed his lips.
He glanced at Ma Zhou, who was as thin as a monkey, and then at Zheng Tufu and Zheng Tufu, who were as strong as iron towers. His gaze involuntarily fell on the three's crotch, and the three couldn't help but turn pale.
Old Gao pursed his lips.
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it. Well, since we're all working for Prince Zhang, let's start the knife test today?"
When Zhang Feng heard that, he hurriedly winked at Zheng Tufu.
"Old Zheng, what are you waiting for? Old Gao is going to accept disciples. What are you waiting for? "
Zheng Tufu was stunned for a while, then he hurriedly slapped the back of Zheng Fengxian's head and roared, "Brat, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?"
Zheng Fengxian was a little dumbfounded.
What was there to learn about blacksmithing?
It was not as satisfying as a butcher's knife.
