Chapter 1235: Pork
Grandpa Wang and Father Wang were silent. Sun Shan was right. When they sent the broker to study, they only wanted him to become a scholar.
If you are lucky, like the brother from the main branch, you can pass the imperial examination and become a juren. You can't even dream of anything more.
Xingyazi was better than expected. He passed the imperial examination at a young age. Even if he kept making progress, he still achieved his goal.
A person can do things according to his ability.
Lord Sun just said that even if the whole family mobilized resources to support Xingyazi to study at Yuelu Academy, the chances of him passing the imperial examination would not be very high.
Mr. Sun is a teacher of Xingyangzi. He has always admired Xingyangzi and hopes that Xingyangzi will have a bright future.
But the facts are another matter and cannot be forced.
Father Wang nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir. Without you, we would be in the dark and wouldn't know what to do."
Compared with the previous official, and the one before that, Father Wang had great trust in Sun Shan.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. Things will work out when the time comes. Just go with the flow. It's almost New Year, so we should be happy. And Jiaxing is so promising, having become a scholar at such a young age. We should be even more happy."
When Sun Shan said this, Grandpa Wang and Father Wang couldn't help but laugh.
Sun Shan then said, "Take two pieces of pork back later. My pigs are ready for slaughter. Take them back and try them to see if they are delicious."
Sun Dali initially raised pigs at the vegetable field experimental base, and later moved to the rice field experimental base, raising a total of ten pigs.
When Sun Shan arrived in Chenzhou Prefecture, Nanny Wang butchered several fat pigs to make bacon.
Now that the New Year is approaching, the remaining pigs need to be slaughtered for the New Year.
Grandpa Wang and Father Wang have sent so many generous gifts, so giving two pieces of pork in return is also reasonable.
When Grandpa Wang heard this, he said happily, "Sir, have you killed your pigs? Oh, I heard from people outside that your pigs are very good, fat and plump, really big pigs. Many people also want to know how you raise pigs."
Grandpa Wang's cloudy eyes gradually became clearer.
Mr. Sun is good at growing vegetables, farming, and now he is also good at raising pigs.
And what can't Master Sun do? I never thought a scholar could do anything. I really envy Grandpa Sun for raising such a good son.
Father Wang also smiled and said, "Yes, sir, your pigs are really fat. We have never seen such fat pigs. Oh, sir, you are really capable."
Sun Shan shook his head repeatedly and said, "That's not a special skill. Fattenness depends entirely on food. My pigs have three meals a day, plus extra treats every now and then. They have to be fat."
Sun Dali disliked the Sun family guards for having nothing to do, so whenever he had free time, he would ask them to go up the mountain to chop firewood and pig grass, so that the Sun family's pigs had to eat constantly for twelve hours a day.
Add rice bran, bean cake, fish feed, etc. and mix them together to feed the pigs.
Because they eat a lot and eat well, pigs grow fast and become fat.
The Sun family does not raise pigs on a large scale, so it is relatively difficult for them to get swine fever.
As long as the pigsty is kept clean, the pigs will not get sick so easily.
As a result, the pigs became white and fat, attracting a lot of onlookers.
After Sun Shan learned how to farm, he also gained a reputation for raising pigs. Many people came to the pig pen to ask for advice on how to raise pigs.
When I heard the word "eat more", I was speechless.
Everyone knows this simple method of raising pigs, but the problem is that there is no way to make the pigs eat more.
There is not enough food for people, so how can there be more food for pigs?
When everyone heard that Mr. Sun raised pigs by eating them, they immediately lost interest.
They felt that this was rubbing salt into their wounds, making them feel that they were worse off than what Lord Sun's pigs ate.
Sun Shan kept crying out that he was innocent, so when they came to question him, he naturally told the truth.
The method is there, but Sun Shan has no control over whether he can raise the baby or not.
Yesterday Sun Dali killed all the remaining fat pigs.
Sun Shan summoned the people from the government office and gave them some benefits. Of course, only those with a regular salary could get them.
It’s not that he wants to exceed the limit, but the amount of pork is limited. If all the pigs are distributed, there won’t be enough pigs in Sun Shan’s house.
A piece of meat and some pig offal were given to the subordinates together to let them feel their superiors' meticulous care and generosity.
County Magistrate Wang received a large piece of fat meat and a pig heart, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
To be honest, this is the first time I have received benefits from my superiors, even though they are insignificant.
But Lord Sun was so eccentric that County Magistrate Wang became numb.
The first time Shangguan gave me some pork, I had to express my gratitude: "Sir, your pigs are well-raised. Look at this pig, how tempting. My father loves to eat big fat pigs the most."
County Magistrate Wang didn't like eating fatty meat, but he couldn't resist the old man in his family who liked to eat it, so the meat sent by Sun Shan was a great relief.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. I'll send it to you next year."
Wu Zhubo received a piece of pork belly and a pig lung, and he was very happy. Only a fool would give something for free.
Although Lord Sun was a bit stingy, he was still more generous than the previous county magistrates. No county magistrate had ever given away benefits.
Haha, you can take Mr. Sun’s pork back and have a meal with it.
I said gratefully: "Sir, your big fat pig is really well raised. I must raise one next year. I am looking forward to the pork from your house."
Sun Shan said cheerfully, "Master Wu, raise more next year and I'll give you more."
When Wu Zhubo heard this, he was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
Sun Shan presented Instructor Deng with a large piece of rump meat and said with a smile, "Instructor, you've worked hard this year. It's because of you that the students in Yuanlu have done so well in the exams. You've eaten my fat pork, so next year you must teach me more talented students."
Teacher Deng looked at the large piece of pork with excitement and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir. Next year, I will definitely urge my students to study hard and live up to your expectations."
Everyone looked at Teacher Deng's pork, then looked at their own, and couldn't help feeling upset.
Do you have to be so biased?
Not only was he biased, but he was also biased in front of them.
Teacher Deng’s pork is not only the largest but also the most delicious.
As for them, they seemed to be just a foil for Deng Xiaoping.
But everyone has gotten used to it. Lord Sun has always been on good terms with Instructor Deng, and it is the painter who has revealed his true feelings.
Who can blame them for being two scholars who appreciate each other? No one else can get into their circle.
Sun Shan distributed pork to his subordinates, and naturally he also gave pork in return to those who gave him gifts.
Grandpa Wang and Father Wang happily took Mr. Sun's pork and went home happily.
And after returning home, the woman is asked to offer the meat to the ancestors first, and then give it to the family's teeth.
I hope the brokers ate the pork from Lord Sun’s family.
I wish I could be like Mr. Sun, pass the imperial examination, be blessed with a lucky charm, have a bright future, get what I want, and win the imperial examination.
