Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 52: Thoughts triggered by braised pork

For people like Cheng Yaojin, cursing and kicking others is the norm. This is a manifestation of love. It's just for the juniors like Li Xin that he values ​​very much, so he kicks and scolds so affectionately. If he changes other people, he will ignore it.

When Li Xin walked out of Cheng's house rubbing his sore butt, he kept thinking about this in his mind, chatting to comfort his injured heart.

Fighting is pro, cursing is love. Forget it...and, what can I do if it doesn't? He couldn't beat and beat, and he couldn't win with scolding. People still occupies the status of elders. Li Xin was also helpless, only silently enduring the "bullying" of this old gangster.

After returning home, the lovely Runniang very obediently brought Li Xin a glass of water. Li Xin drank in one sip and returned the empty cup to Runniang, which finally succumbed. I have to say that the life of this kind of feudal small landlord is really uncomfortable.

I don't have much to do every day. I like to sleep until what time I like to sleep. Occasionally I cook by myself and cook some good things to eat. The small days are happy.

However, the chefs in the palace have been feeling a lot of pressure recently, and almost all of them are about to close themselves. As a chef, the most important thing is of course her dignity in cooking. However, this dignity has been crushed hundreds of times by Li Xin's various postures, almost to pieces.

Before the journey, Li Xin always thought that the so-called prince should of course be rich in clothes and jade, and he was full of taste. However, when he really crossed over, he discovered that the imagination of the chefs in the Tang Dynasty was too poor for food. If he wants to eat something good, he can only do it himself.

The cook felt uncomfortable at first, but after tasting Li Xin's dishes, she completely took it. Unexpectedly, my prince still has such a craft! She immediately cried and begged Li Xin to teach her how to cook.

If you know your shame and then be brave, you can teach a child.

Li Xin is not a hidden person, let alone after teaching his own cook, he still enjoys it by himself? Happy to save trouble. Therefore, every time he later came to the kitchen to cook, he would let the cook to watch and observe, and sometimes even he didn't do it himself, and he just asked the cook to do it.

However, in general, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although Li Xin tried hard to make a mess of food, some things are still not easy to deal with.

Although it’s not allowed to kill cattle casually these days, as Li Xin, it’s not difficult to get some beef. What’s difficult is that he wants to eat potatoes and beef but can’t eat them. Potatoes are probably still growing wildly in the horns of America at the moment. It.

Li Xin was originally an engineering student, and it was no problem to create a large ship that could handle ocean-going voyages. The only problem was that he had no money.

Ocean voyages are of course profitable, and it is very profitable. In the past, small countries like Portugal and the Netherlands all relied on overseas colonization to make a lot of money. Who said that Datang could not take this route?

However, just like doing business requires capital, it is not easy to pool the start-up capital of an ocean-going fleet. With Li Xin's strength alone, even if he has many whimsical ideas in his mind, it is absolutely impossible. of. Taking the poor finances in the early years of Datang, the whole country could not even raise money for a fleet, so Li Xin finally chose to temporarily shelve his plan to conquer the stars and the sea.

Forget it, potatoes and beef are definitely not available for the time being, so I still want to be practical.

In fact, braised pork is the most likely good thing Li Xin will eat at this stage.

Although there is no mature soy sauce available for the time being, it is fine to stir-fry with raw sugar. By the way, the technology of sucrose extraction these years is also too bad. The sugar made is all black, red, black and red, and the sweetness is also low, which is completely inferior to the white sugar of later generations.

Li Xin touched his chin, remembering the experience of later Anglo-American capitalists starting from the sugar industry, and secretly said in his heart: "The wine business is set up first. After the first wave of capital is accumulated, you can turn to the south and buy a few sugarcane gardens for sugar business."

He knows the general steps of fine extraction of sucrose, and some details can be left to the sugar workers to explore slowly. This is another big monopoly business.

However, the distillery's affairs have just begun to be a bit eye-catching, and now it is too far away to start thinking about sugar production. Li Xin shook his head, drove away the unnecessary thoughts, and then returned his thoughts to the braised pork.

Raw sugar and salt can roughly replace soy sauce...Wait a minute, Datang's current salt-making technology seems to be immature, and the cost is very high. The green salt with the best color is generally used for brushing teeth. It is about 500 yuan per catty, and the coarse salt that the people usually eat is about 300 yuan per catty. Many people can't eat salt at all and can only use something called "vinegar cloth" to season them.

The so-called vinegar cloth is cloth that has been dried after dipping in some brine. When you need to season it, you cut some and put it in a pot and boil...In short, it is sour and salty, which is disgusting.

After all, Chang'an is the capital of Datang. Although most people don't have much money in their hands, they can still afford coarse salt and low-quality salt. The worst is that the poor people in more remote areas and the soldiers fighting outside, even a piece of vinegar cloth can be used as a treasure.

When Li Xin was picky about food, he heard Wang Gui and his veterans talk about the hardships of fighting outside, so he knew these things.

Or...should we make a difference in salt production?

Li Xin naturally thought so, but he quickly rejected this year. Since ancient times, salt and iron have been the two major resource industries strictly controlled by feudal dynasties. The families that are qualified to operate these two industries are all political forces with a deep background and strong strength. Li Xin, a small king of Chu, is not enough to blend in.

However, since Li Xin does not intend to be involved in the salt industry, the method of salt production can be generously handed over to Li Shimin, and he should make a little contribution to Datang, hoping that more people can enjoy high quality and low price. The salt, it can be considered that Li Xin did not come to this Datang in vain.

No, aren’t you talking about braised pork? Yes, sugar and salt, and finally the most important question: pork.

Don’t people these days know that raising pigs requires castration? After being castrated, the pig’s temperament is docile and manageable, and it’s delicious and lazy all day long. It grows wildly. There is no **** hogenone and skatole in the meat, and it doesn’t taste a bit nasty. It’s a treasure.

This shows how important castration is!

Li Xin thought about it, but still felt that he had to go and talk with the farmers in his own land in order to be able to eat this fragrant bowl of braised pork.

Didn't they also encounter drought this year, and nothing was harvested? Just so, teach them how to raise pigs scientifically. In this way, Li Xin will also have good pork to eat, and they will have an extra income.
