The birth of the Estuary Pig meant Dragon-Blooded pork was not far off.

In other words, the Estuary Pigs would be able to mate by October this year, and another batch of piglets could be born next January or February.

There should be little pork to eat around next February. Excellent—Dragon-Blooded pork. I wonder what it will taste like! he thought expectantly.
At the same time, he thought of the Dragon-Blooded Dairy Cows.

Once the pasture grows lush enough, the Dragon-Blooded Dairy Cows can be moved over.

After inspecting the Estuary Pig piglets, he rode Loki around Black Horse Island, inspecting the construction progress of every new town.
At present, Port Town on Black Horse Island had already begun to take shape. With the
