The Agriculture Goddess waved her hand, and the phantom of a pig immediately appeared before them. However, it was somewhat different from the pigs Viscount Rost knew.
Its most notable feature was that it seemed longer.
"What is this?"
Although he had a vague guess, Viscount Rost still asked.
"A new breed of pig we cultivated."
The Agriculture Goddess was not in the habit of keeping people in suspense. She said directly, "According to our observations, this new breed grows quickly. In just 180 days, it can reach over 200 jin. For every jin it gains, it consumes around three jin of feed. After slaughter, roughly 70 percent is edible."
"Furthermore, each litter produces eleven to thirteen piglets. It does not have high environmental requirements, tolerates both cold and heat, and will eat almost anything..."
"Other than having four more ribs than ordinary pigs due to its longer body, we have found no obvious drawbacks."
"Hiss—"
Viscount Rost's gaze toward the pig immediately became burning hot.
He had long paid close attention to agriculture within his territory. Among all the nobles on the continent, he was probably the one who understood this field best.
As one of the commoners' main sources of meat, he knew pigs inside and out.
And precisely because he understood, he found it terrifying!
Traditional black-haired pigs could also reach around 200 jin, but they needed nearly 300 to 400 days—more than twice as long as this new breed. Yet they ate no less, consuming over five jin every day.
By that calculation, it took nearly ten jin of feed to produce one jin of meat...
That comparison made the horrifying gap even clearer. With only one-third of the feed and half the time, they could obtain meat of the same weight.
More importantly, according to
