415: Chapter 415: What Does It Matter to Me If He’s Raised to Death?

“You old coots, why did you bring so many people along?

I kindly invited you over for a meal, and this is what you do to me,” Elder Ye complained, rarely pulling a face as he stared at these old friends.

Truth be told, it was rare for them to see Elder Ye like this, as he was normally quite good-tempered.

“Don’t be like that.

We just wanted to liven things up a bit by taking this opportunity to see young Zhao Guang,” one of the elders chimed in.

Zhao Guang’s own status certainly wasn’t enough for their attention, but the things he brought with him qualified him.

Those items were indeed of great benefit to the health of the elderly, including the industry of those five pigs.

Especially the Healing Potion, which alone was enough to incite countless people to want Zhao Guang as an honored guest even though they were not qualified.

“Delicious, truly unimaginably delicious,” an elder began to eat.

Seeing Elder Meng start eating, the others didn’t bother with more idle talk and hurried to join in.

“This taste is no less than that of bluefin tuna; in fact, it even surpasses it.”

Could it really be so exaggerated?

Zhao Guang felt strange.

Bluefin tuna had always been known as one of the highest-grade meats among fish, but he had never tasted it and really didn’t know what it tasted like.

The thought of his future life with sushi made with this fish made Zhao Guang lose his appetite completely.

Unexpectedly, they thought so highly of his fish, which implied a worry-free business market in the future.

“Couldn’t you try some sashimi or something?”

Zhao Guang hastily replied, “Please spare me, Elder Xu.

Although this is a farmed fish, it’s a freshwater fish after all.

Who knows if there are parasites or anything?” This was not really a farmed fish; it was wild.

And parasites from the Otherworld, who knew if they could be even more harmful?

He dared not let them try it.

It would be better to wait until after the fish had become acclimatized.

He had forgotten that there were people who liked their fish raw.

“Xiao Zhao is right.

Why do you always like raw things so much, not afraid of getting a stomach bug?”

“Exactly, let’s wait and see.

Oh, Xiao Zhao, about this fish…”

Elder Ye quickly interjected, “Don’t even think about it; this is a gift for me.” He knew these old friends too well, anticipating what they were about to request even before they spoke.

“You really do talk too much nonsense.

Nobody said anything yet.”

Zhao Guang hung his head.

What could he say?

He was simply a junior.

It wasn’t a matter of capability, but these were elderly men of great age and great contributions to their country.

Out of respect, Zhao Guang couldn’t treat them the same way he did others.

Yet, who had arranged today’s seating order?

All the elders at one table was fine, but why was he seated here too?

And if that wasn’t strange enough, why was Ye Zhi placed right beside him?

In this way, it really seemed like he was meeting the parents, with a whole group of elderly parents at that.

Ah, Zhao Guang sighed inwardly.

Better to follow Ye Zhi’s lead, eat without speaking.

Just because Zhao Guang didn’t want to talk, didn’t mean the others would let him off that easily.

A while later, Elder Han suddenly said, “By the way, Zhao Guang, are you aware of what’s happened with other people breeding the five pigs?”

Zhao Guang blinked in surprise.

What?

There were many who bred them, right?

Seeing Zhao Guang’s confusion, Elder Han continued, “Yes, many people have tried to breed five pigs and claimed that they just died.

Despite using numerous people and various methods, they couldn’t survive.”

Elder Xu objected, “They have their own breeding methods.

It was said from the start that ordinary methods would hardly succeed, but they didn’t listen.

What can you do?”

“But that’s the problem.

After others’ five pigs died and were examined, it was found that their fatal issue was an irrational body structure that caused their muscles to crush their internal organs, leading to death from excessive fatness,” Elder Han explained.

“Many are now doubting whether there’s really nothing wrong with the five pigs.”

Zhao Guang smirked inwardly.

It turned out that the time bomb he had left was detonating, right on schedule.

“Well, we have a specialized bio-magnetic field breeding method, without which it’s impossible to maintain them,” he responded.

“Besides, by the time five pigs grow to the point of death by obesity, they are already capable of reproduction and ripe for slaughter.”

Elder Xu nodded, his recent focus being mainly on transport matters in their province.

Being close by, he was more familiar with the Mantou Breeding Farm, and indeed, Zhao Guang’s words were correct.

Elder Han also nodded, “Since there’s no issue on your side, we don’t need to concern ourselves with the others.

Don’t bother with them.”

Those people simply wanted to use this as an opportunity to drive down the price of the five pigs, or put pressure on to extract the breeding methods—it was common knowledge that five pigs were valuable.

If people stopped breeding or selling them altogether, these troublemakers would be the first to panic.

Severing the lifeline of those clinging to hope, cutting off the longevity prospects of the influential, it would spell death for the instigators.

Then Elder Meng spoke up again, “Speaking of which, your breeding has no issues, right?

When can we expect supplies to resume?” The cut-off had been quite long.

Without the meat of five pigs, everything felt off, and many were sliding back into their old health issues.

Indeed, only the meat of five pigs was the key to maintaining their health.

In fact, Zhao Guang could have resumed supplies long ago as his domain had gotten on track.

However, due to the population’s growth outpacing the natural breeding rate of the five pigs, a large-scale supply remained unfeasible.

After some thought, Zhao Guang cautiously said, “Small-scale is no problem, but a large-scale supply isn’t possible.

Bread Pigs are fine, we can supply those on a large scale.”

This was his way of telling them that if they wanted some, it was best to keep it quiet because a small number wouldn’t be a problem.

Everyone’s eyes began to swirl, pondering how to secure some.

After all, if these goods hit the market, the price would be astronomical.

With their salaries, they would never be able to afford it.

As for the Bread Pigs, that was another story.

They were becoming increasingly common.

Unfortunately, while Bread Pigs tasted good, they didn’t possess the same beneficial effects on the body.

Of course, due to the branding of five pigs, the price of Bread Pigs remained high.

Their greater numbers meant these elders could often enjoy them.

“We’ll take care of that matter; it’s not a big deal.

But about the White Marlin, could you provide more of that?”

“Yes, I’d also prefer fish over meat,” another elder joined in.

Several elders looked at Zhao Guang as if their eyes were light bulbs, making him feel immense pressure.

“I’ll check when I go back.

There might be a few more,” he replied cautiously, not daring to bring too many without further tests.
