After Zhang Feng threw all the matters of Xiao Mountain to Yu Shinan and the others, he looked around and saw Ma Zhou not far away, holding a big bloody basin and washing it by the river. A group of children were downstream of Ma Zhou, fighting for the things that Ma Zhou had thrown away.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but remember something important.
"Ma Zhou."
Zhang Feng called from afar. In an instant, Ma Zhou was stunned. He hurriedly threw down the basin and ran over.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
Zhang Feng nodded and pointed in the direction of the pig farm. "Let's go, let's talk while we walk."
"Now, how's the matter of slaughtering pigs?"
When asked about this matter, Ma Zhou's face showed an extremely excited expression. "Teacher, I haven't been to the pig farm for some time. Previously, Old Gao, Butcher Zheng, and I selected a few unusually active breeding pigs and bred them successfully. At present, most of the remaining pigs have been slaughtered."
"Then how's the situation? I'm asking about the mortality rate and survival rate. "
Zhang Feng nodded and asked.
When asked about this, Ma Zhou became even more excited. "I'm thinking of reporting this matter to you when I teach next time. At present, the mortality rate is basically from an average of 30 out of 100 deaths. But now, it's less than 10. Moreover, after these pigs were deleted, they are not as active as before. They eat and sleep every day. Instead, they are fatter than those pigs."
"Half a month ago, Old Gao took a litter of full-term pigs and tested it. He found that these pigs, after being fed with the feed prepared by Old Sun, increased their weight to about 90 pounds in half a month!"
This really made Ma Zhou excited.
Previously, when he was asked to slaughter pigs, Ma Zhou was really unwilling. If it weren't for Zhang Feng's private teaching every three days, he wouldn't have been willing to do it. How could a student raise pigs?
Moreover, his students had been ridiculed by the students on the mountain. They smelled of pig shit.
However, slowly, Ma Zhou also discovered the magic of Zhang Feng and the joy of raising pigs.
Every day, he would record the growth, eating, and sleeping status of the pigs. That was not all. Every day, when he weighed the pigs, that was what excited him the most. As long as he saw a pig getting thinner, he would stop eating and thinking about why the pig got thinner.
How could he not feel a sense of accomplishment when he saw a pig gaining weight by an average of one catty every day?
The most important thing was that the pig meat that the shops and food factories were eating on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain were all made by him, which gave him an inexplicable sense of achievement.
As Zhang Feng listened to Ma Zhou's nagging, he couldn't help but look at this guy in doubt. This guy was really born with the appearance of a pig farmer. It seemed that he had found the right person to raise pigs.
"Ma Zhou, let me ask you something. Answer me honestly." Zhang Feng interrupted Ma Zhou's nagging as if he was presenting a treasure. "Do you only slaughter the toothed pigs, or do you slaughter them together with the sows?"
Ma Zhou heard and was a little confused. "The sows need to give birth, but Butcher Zheng on the mountain refused to let us slaughter them. Old Gao also said that there was no need."
"Who said so?"
Zhang Feng asked and then pointed at the door of the pig farm. The two of them then entered Ma Zhou's room on the second floor.
Before the two of them sat down, Butcher Zheng brought his son and Old Gao, whose hands were covered in blood, up to the second floor.
"Aiyaya, Fengzi, why didn't you tell us that you were coming? We should at least clean up this place! Look at this mess. Clean up, clean up. "
Butcher Zheng hurriedly cleaned up the room and kicked Xiaohu Zheng. "Why aren't you making tea for your Brother Fengzi?"
"No need, I just passed by here to take a look."
"By the way, Xiaohu, I think the academy will officially start teaching tomorrow. You should go too. Don't always deal with the pigs!"
Butcher Zheng's face trembled. He hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "Fengzi, you said Xiaohu can go too?"
"Didn't I say it before? I want Xiaohu to become the best butcher in the Tang Dynasty. I will do what I say, but you let him stay here all day. That's your fault. How can he be successful like this? "
Butcher Zheng was overjoyed.
He kicked Xiaohu Zheng's butt and roared, "Why aren't you kowtowing to your Brother Fengzi, no, your teacher?"
Xiaohu Zheng knelt down with a thud.
Zhang Feng was speechless.
"Get up. I said that kneeling in the academy is not allowed. This is the last time!"
"Butcher Zheng, I told you last time to help at the foot of the mountain. Why did you go up the mountain again?"
Hearing that, Zheng Tufu pointed at the dense swarm of pigs on the back mountain outside and said, "Isn't it because we can't fit all these pigs? I'm always worried about letting this brat and Ma Zhou herd the pigs. Besides, I'm worried about leaving Elder Gao here alone. "
Butcher Zheng had worked with pigs all his life. Although the food factory was very suitable, there were too many butchers there. It didn't matter if he was there or not. However, it was different on the mountain.
Nothing here could do without him.
Pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, which one of them didn't need him to take care of?
He wouldn't be at ease if he left it to an outsider.
Zhang Feng stared into Butcher Zheng's eyes. Seeing that he sincerely wanted to stay on the mountain, he took out a feed formula from his chest and said, "Well, since you like dealing with pigs, cows, and sheep so much, I'll give you an important task now."
Zhang Feng pointed at a piece of paper and said, "This is the feed formula list. You just need to mix it according to the ratio. Now, leave the things here to Elder Gao. I'll arrange for someone to deal with it. You go to Chang 'an and open a feed factory as fast as you can. As for the rest, you can go to Li Gan and ask him to deal with it for you."
"Then, I heard that the pigs in the other prefectures are being fed according to our method, but it's not a good idea to keep eating. Since you know how to feed pigs, do you want to go to the other prefectures of the Great Tang?"
