Shi Wen and Yan Kexing first went to the production area where their livestock were exhibited.
The exhibition area allocated to them was indeed small, only a few square meters. It was crammed full of sheep, mutton, and pigs. Fu Meng barely managed to carve out some space for geese and Bresse chickens.
Shi Wen this, Fu Meng finally understood why Fu Meng and the others hadn't brought the big guys over; they simply couldn't bear to leave them behind.
Fu Meng looked up and saw them, then hurriedly greeted them, "Please feel free to wander around."
Shi Wen asked, "Brother Fu, what else do you want to do?"
Fu Meng: "I'll go fetch a bucket of water to wash the sheep and the pigs."
Shi Wen, looking at the sheep and pigs that often rolled around on the ground, getting all dirty, was filled with questions. "Is it necessary to clean them?"
"Yes, we greet guests from all over the country with the best attitude," Fu Meng said with a smile. "And there are also various merchants crowding in."
Shi Wen his hurried and energetic demeanor, Shi Wen could only say, "Then you go ahead and get busy."
Fu Meng didn't even have time to say much to them. He just smiled and greeted them before going back to his work.
Shi Wen and Yan Kexing continued exploring. The exhibition was indeed huge, much larger than Shi Wen had expected.
As they strolled around, they discovered that some animals were simply brought out for exhibition, while others were both exhibited and sold.
The animal's owner also seems to be hoping to attract more customers through this exhibition.
Shi Wen quickly took a liking to a group of black pigs.
His pigs are all sheep-type pigs, which were originally bred specifically for fattening meat.
Despite their efforts in breeding and improving their livestock, which have resulted in a slightly reduced proportion of fat and a more marbled lean meat, their pigs are still generally considered to be on the fatty side.
Shi Wen has always wanted to see if there's an opportunity to raise other types of pigs that are more suitable for their tastes and also better suited to local breeds.
However, other pigs have a drawback: they are generally not adapted to such a cold environment, and if a group of pigs were brought over from elsewhere, they would easily die.
The black pigs that Shi Wen and Yan Kexing saw this time were a cold-resistant breed cultivated in J Province.
J Province is a vast and diverse region with a wide variety of climates. Shi Wen a look and found that the black pigs are from a place at a similar latitude to ours, and the climate information I found online doesn't seem to be that different either.
If the black pigs can adapt to the environment in their place of origin, they should be able to adapt to the environment here as well.
Shi Wen asking the owner of the black pig, "Are you planning to sell your black pig?"
The owner smiled and said, "Yes, we brought it out to promote it. If you're interested, you can try the meat of our black pig. This is pork jerky, and this is pork floss."
Shi Wen took a bag of pork jerky and a bag of pork floss, and shared them with Yan Kexing.
Both of these snacks taste pretty good.
To be fair, the quality of the black pork is far inferior to that of their sheep and pig meat; the meat is not nearly as fresh and appealing.
However, the meat of these black pigs is quite good compared to that of ordinary pigs, with a unique tenderness that is somewhat Shi Wen of the local pork I ate as a child.
Shi Wen Yan Kexing, I asked with my eyes: How is it?
Yan Kexing nodded.
Since the black pigs were quite good, Shi Wen didn't hesitate much and ordered two uncastrated female piglets from the owner.
These two sows are both six months old. After being taken back to their ranch and cared for for six months, they should be ready for breeding in the summer or autumn.
The quality of piglets produced in the first year may be average, but after two or three generations of breeding, their meat quality will definitely get better and better.
Shi Wen is now considered a big shot in the livestock industry and is very confident in his ability to breed qualified pigs.
Besides buying a black pig, the two also went to see some rabbits.
Unfortunately, the rabbits on display here are of mediocre quality, at least not meeting Shi Wen's expectations. He originally wanted to buy a group of rabbits to put on the mountain, but now it seems unnecessary. Buying goats would be better than buying rabbits.
The goats he saw were all quite nice, but after asking around with a friend, he learned that there were even better goats available elsewhere, so he abandoned the idea of buying goats directly at the exhibition.
They didn't buy many items, but they actually made quite a few deals at the exhibition.
Just from Shi Wen seen, there are over two hundred orders.
It's easy to imagine that this exhibition greatly promoted exchanges within the local livestock industry.
Shi Wen they stayed here until after 5 p. m. before going home.
When we got home, the dogs had already driven the livestock back.
Shi Wen specifically checked the app, and it showed that everything was normal and there were no unexpected issues.
Except for the White Tiger.
I only discovered when Shi Wen at the app that White Tiger's location was actually at their store.
Shi Wen at Yan Kexing and said, "Did we forget to close the door this morning? It seems like White Tiger sneaked in."
Yan Kexing: "No, I'm very sure. I was the one who closed and locked all the doors in the end."
Shi Wen, "That's a bit strange."
Shi Wen until now, Shi Wen hadn't felt that anything was wrong.
He and Yan Kexing bags and bags of local specialties they had bought at the exhibition, preparing to return home—the black pig they had purchased wouldn't arrive for another two days, and for now they only had the snacks they had bought at the exhibition.
Shi Wen pressed the fingerprint lock to open the door, but unexpectedly, he smelled a pungent odor as soon as he pushed the door open.
He looked closely and saw that the sofa, floor, and table in the living room were covered in red sauce, which extended all the way into their indoor kitchen.
Shi Wen Shi Wen a lot in his life, but this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a horrific indoor scene. At that moment, he was completely stunned, whether from the spiciness or something else.
Yan Kexing nearby, said, "It's chili sauce."
Shi Wen, "I know it's our chili sauce, but who spilled it on the floor?! White Tiger?!"
Shi Wen carefully walked towards the kitchen, avoiding the chili sauce, stepping on the clean floor. He heard rustling noises coming from the kitchen.
