Chapter 81 Boss Cao, this is not making waves!(1/3)
The purse in Ganmei's hand was already somewhat in shape. Xiyu didn't say anything when he saw the other party like this.
Now that the other party can have his own opinion, he is happy to see it come to fruition.
"Why did Alang come back so early today!"
Naturally, Ganmei knew about Xi Yu going to the military camp for training every day.
However, it is still early now, so Gan Mei is a little surprised that Xi Yu came back so early today.
"The training has been put on hold for the time being. I have to find a way to provide the soldiers in the barracks with meat!"
He explained casually to Gan Mei, who was a little surprised.
"Meat?"
"Is there not enough food and grass in the military camp?"
"Two days ago, Mrs. Sister-in-law and the others sent over a piece of beef that was beaten to death. If Alang needs it..."
"Not enough!"
The Cao family would often send him some meat and the like. Either Cao Cao got the venison from somewhere, or he killed a cow one day!
These meats are enough to supply the actors.
But if you want to supply the supply camp and maintain their training, it is simply not enough!
"I have already thought about it. I will take Dian Wei and the others to the mountains tomorrow and bring back some wild pigs!"
"Wild pig?"
Ganmei was puzzled, shouldn’t the meat be inedible?
But since Xi Yu had said so, Gan Mei didn't say much. At this moment, she seemed to think of something again, and then she raised her head and looked at Xi Yu.
"Alang, I heard that Sister Zhaoji has composed a new song. Do you want to take the time to listen to it?"
Regarding the previous proposal, Ganmei still took it to heart.
I mentioned it casually at this time, but I actually wanted to match up my husband.
When Xi Yu heard this, he didn't think much about it and just shook his head.
"I've been very busy recently and don't have much time. I'll talk about it when I have time!"
At the moment, on the one hand, he has to train soldiers, and on the other hand, he has to plan for spring plowing, even though he has already gained experience in the previous year.
This year's spring plowing will hopefully be smoother, but he still needs to do it.
Moreover, he expected that in a short time, Cao Cao would continue to conquer Xuzhou.
At that time, the baggage camp will also be responsible for transporting grain and grass.
Hearing what Xi Yu said, Gan Mei nodded.
The next morning.
Xi Yu, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, together with more than a dozen soldiers, rushed directly to the mountains.
In this era, wild beasts are very common in the mountains and forests, and it didn’t take long for the three of them to encounter a wild boar.
A group of people were lucky enough to encounter a nest of wild boars.
Dian Wei took the lead and knocked down the adult wild boar with one punch. Soon, everyone returned to the military camp with two adult wild boars and a litter of piglets.
After learning that Xi Yu, Dian Wei and others had hunted wild boars back from the mountains, the entire Cao camp was obviously a little surprised.
No one really eats wild boar these days.
However, Xi Yu didn't pay attention to this. After calling the soldiers who were usually responsible for raising horses, Xi Yu began to discuss with them the method of raising pigs.
"Castration?"
The soldier in charge of raising the horses was a little dazed. He didn't understand why Mr. Xi was looking for him.
On weekdays, he is only responsible for feeding war horses, and he doesn’t know anything about things like pigs!
What's more, he has never even castrated a war horse.
These days, war horses are scarce. Anyone who dares to castrate a war horse will be beheaded.
"Sir, I really don't know how. I'm just responsible for raising horses!"
……
"What are you talking about, you are in the military camp discussing with people how to castrate wild pigs?"
Xi Yu was looking for someone to help castrate wild pigs in the camp and Cao Cao soon heard about it.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao quickly led people to find Xi Yu.
"Fengyi, what's so good about this wild pig?"
When Cao Cao led Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai to see Xi Yu, he was leading Dian Wei around a wild pig and looking him up and down.
The wails of the wild pigs are endless.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao's whole heart trembled.
"Brother is here!"
When Cao Cao asked why wild boars were castrated, Xi Yu casually began to carefully explain the benefits of castrating wild pigs.
If Xi Yu remembers correctly, this pig was researched by someone at the end of the Han Dynasty.
He heard that it seemed to be Hua Tuo, but he couldn't find where Hua Tuo was at the moment.
But this does not prevent him from knowing the benefits of pig farming!
In fact, in this era, some people raised pigs at home. After Xi Yu took Dian Wei and others to get the wild pig back.
He then heard some soldiers in the camp saying that some people were raising pigs.
However, the practice of raising pigs has not yet become popular.
Those people raise pigs just to prevent them from starving to death during disaster years.
But the pigs of today are very different from the owners of later generations. Not only are they thin, but more importantly, they are a bit ferocious.
"There are so many things to pay attention to?"
After hearing Xi Yu talk about the benefits of pig farming, Cao Cao didn't have the slightest doubt. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to hug the King of Sleeves.
"What's wrong with the pig? I'll help you!"
As he spoke, Cao Cao tied his robe around his waist, took a small knife from the soldier beside him, and walked straight towards the wild boar.
"Dian Wei, come and help me hold him down!"
After shouting at Dian Wei, Cao Cao was already sharpening his sword.
This process happened so fast, Cao Cao wanted to take the initiative, but before Xi Yu opened his mouth, he saw that the other party had asked Dian Wei to pin the wild boar to the ground.
The two big men were sticking their butts out, one was pressing the wild boar's body hard, and the other was holding a knife and swiping it at the wild boar's crotch.
Cao Cao's skills were extremely fast. He only heard the wild boar wailing. When the sound fell, Cao Cao had already stood up from the wild boar.
"If there's anything difficult, it's just a matter of one knife!"
While speaking, Cao Cao conveniently put the things in his hands aside, and walked towards Xi Yu as he spoke.
Xi Yu moved back.
What do you mean, Boss Cao? You just chopped off a pig's hand and you still want to pat me on the shoulder?
Cao Cao didn't notice Xi Yu's intention to step back. After finishing the work of killing the pig, he immediately washed his hands in the copper basin beside him.
After the matter with the wild boar was completed, Xi Yu began to explain to the soldiers how to deal with the wild boar in the future.
Next, these wild boars need to be castrated.
After learning that some of the people raised pigs, Xi Yu also began to order people to collect pigs from people's homes.
The current wild boars need to be kept in the military camp for the time being.
After a few months, it will be almost ready and it will be ready for slaughter.
After finishing the work with the wild boar, Xi Yu led Cao Cao and the others into his tent.
"My lord, I'm here not because of the wild boar!"
Xi Yu guessed that Cao Cao was somewhat impatient now.
They attacked Xuzhou before, but now most of Xuzhou has been captured by Cao Cao.
Before the beginning of spring, Cao Cao's intention to attack Xuzhou had already been exposed, and it was even obvious.
The entire Cao camp knew it well.
Before the spring plowing, Cao Cao planned to attack Xuzhou.
Sure enough, as Xi Yu spoke, Cao Cao sat in the top position and nodded.
"After the new year, the imperial court has ordered to change the reign name. From this year on, it will be the Xingping reign name!"
To be continued...
