Chapter 407: Beigang Pig Appears
Not long after, Li Runfa drove the car to the vicinity of Old Li’s pig farm!
As the vehicle slowly stopped, everyone got out.
When they arrived at the gate of the pig farm, they were surprised to find a large yard that looked like a farmyard in front of them!
This courtyard faces south and sits north. On the north side are several large tiled houses that appear to be extremely spacious. Although they look ordinary on the outside, the courtyard is furnished with everything you need.
Various precious flowers and plants occupy almost half of the yard. They are vying with each other in beauty and are breathtakingly beautiful.
In a corner of the yard, a clear mountain spring flows down from the top of the mountain and gathers into a small and exquisite pool here.
In the pond, several plump koi are swimming happily, as if showing people their happiness and freedom.
Gu Chang and Jiang Mozi stood in the middle of the yard, looking at this unique courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You really know how to choose a place! Not only is the environment here beautiful, but it also has good wind and water, and beautiful mountains and rivers. It's simply a Feng Shui treasure land!" Gu Chang exclaimed.
Jiang Mozi also echoed, "Yes, I have never seen such a beautiful place. It must be very comfortable to live in such an environment!"
Her eyes were full of envy.
"Hahahahaha..."
Old Li laughed heartily and said to Gu Chang and Jiang Mozi, "You two young people have good vision! Let me tell you, I chose this place after careful consideration and even invited several Feng Shui masters to take a look! They all said that this is an excellent Feng Shui treasure land!"
After that, Old Li greeted the two of them warmly, and while leading the way, he introduced: "Come, come, come over here with me, this is my pig farm!"
Gu Chang and Jiang Mozi looked in the direction indicated by Old Li, and saw a row of half-blocked pig pens standing at the downwind side of the southern hillside.
These pig houses extend along the mountainside all the way to the top of the mountain, like a long dragon winding through the mountains.
At this time, a group of piglets were leisurely foraging and playing in the mountains and forests.
They either lowered their heads to nibble on the grass or chased and played with each other, looking particularly lively and cute.
This unique way of raising pigs is called "wandering pig" by some people.
This method not only allows pigs to move freely and breathe fresh air, but also allows them to eat natural grass and wild fruits, ensuring the quality and taste of the pork.
The so-called wandering pigs are actually what we usually call free-range pig farming!
This unique breeding method allows pigs to roam freely among the vast mountains and forests, allowing them to freely forage for weeds and drink clear, sweet mountain springs.
Pigs that grow up in such a natural environment are very different from those that are kept in closed and small spaces and raised in factories.
These pigs wandering in the mountains have more opportunities for exercise and activity as they grow up.
They can run and play as much as they want, enjoying the freedom given by nature, which allows their bodies to be fully exercised and their muscles to become more developed and powerful.
Because of this, the texture of free-range pig meat is very different from that of ordinary pork!
The meat has a deep dark red hue, as if it contains the vitality and vigor of the mountains and forests. In addition, due to the large amount of exercise of the wandering pig, the fiber of its meat is relatively coarse, but full of elasticity.
At the same time, the fat content in the tendon area is also higher, which not only adds to the deliciousness of the meat, but also makes it rich in protein and has extremely high nutritional value.
In addition, the texture of Liuda pork is firmer and tighter, and the taste is better when chewed. The tender and juicy taste is unforgettable. Compared with ordinary pork, Liuda pork has a lower fat content, and the taste and mouthfeel are more mellow and rich, which makes people have endless aftertaste!
With every bite, you can feel the gift of nature and the traces of the pigs' happy growth.
Whether it is used to cook home-cooked meals or make exquisite delicacies, free-range pork can show its unique charm and bring diners an unparalleled gourmet experience.
Currently, most of the free-range pigs in China are local pigs raised by farmers. This type of pig has a long growth cycle and usually takes at least 10-12 months to be marketed. Their weight is generally around 200 kilograms.
In sharp contrast, those three-way pigs that are raised on feed can grow to an astonishing 3 to 400 kilograms in just half a year. The difference is staggering!
Because of this, the price of free-range pigs is relatively high.
When Gu Chang saw these pigs for the first time, he made up his mind: these were the Beigang pigs he had been looking for!
He could not hide his excitement and said to Uncle Li with a happy face: "Uncle Li, these pigs you raise are really great! They are the unique pig breed in Cangnan that we all thought was extinct - Beigang pigs!"
"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, this excellent pig breed would have disappeared from the land of China..." Completely disappeared!"
Gu Chang's happy expression was a little excited!
Old Li was also very happy and smiled.
“I never thought that by accident, I could have preserved the last breed of Beigang pig!”
"Your contribution is enormous!" Jiang Mozi also laughed.
Gu Chang roughly observed the activity range and dietary structure of these pigs. There are currently more than 200 pigs in this pig farm!
More than 200 Beigang pigs!
Gu Chang was completely delighted!
