Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 99: Careful without leaving a trace

People of later generations are of course accustomed to eating meat, and even after eating meat to the point of getting tired of eating it, they have developed a diet such as vegetarianism. But these are absolutely unimaginable things in the eyes of ancient people. Without him, the cost of eating meat in ancient times was too high.

The vast majority of people can eat three to five meals of meat a year, which is considered a good family. As for the fact that there is meat all at once, only a real noble house can be realized.

Therefore, when Li Xin said that "eat meat every three times, five meals", both Zhang Song and Zhang Quanfu couldn't help but yearn for it. Even veterans such as Wang Gui, Zhang Ben, and Chen Hu, who have gone through poor times, couldn't help but look forward to looking forward—Master, can he really do it? Let the people in this whole village live a life that can eat meat?

A group of people came to Zhang Song's home. The pigsty was repaired behind his house. The pigpen is divided into two parts. On the left are the pigs that were castrated last time, and on the right are the pigs that have not been castrated. When the two groups of pigs were put in the Zhangjia pigpen, their ages were almost the same, but now it seems that the pig on the left is obviously a circle larger than the right, and they all lie lazily in the pigpen and sleep. Do not want to move.

After all, the pigsty was dirty and smelly, and neither Chen Youlan nor Xiaoling hid away with their noses. Li Xin asked Runniang to wait in place, while he led several other elders to see how the pigs were growing. Sure enough, it was very gratifying.

After listening to Zhang Tufu’s introduction, Cheng Chumo said in amazement: “I didn’t expect that removing that thing would have this effect. Xinzi, how did you know this kind of thing? But, is this pig different from a human being? Why didn’t the eunuchs in the palace gain weight?"

Li Xin was full of black lines, so he didn't bother to explain to Cheng Chumo this kind of silly explanation. Instead, he turned to Zhang Quanfu and said: "Old Zhang, you have also seen that the pig is really useful. After the pig was castrated, the spleen became smoother and warmer. They are not picky eaters and grow meat quickly. As long as every household in the village raises a few pigs next year, the villagers will not only have meat to eat, but also sell it for money."

Zhang Quanfu smiled bitterly: "If you eat, the village is used to living a hard life and is not picky about eating. But selling for money, I don't dare to think about it. Pork is stinky. Apart from the bitterness in the village, who would pay for such meat? eat?"

Li Tongdao: "Didn't I tell you? After the pigs are castrated, the meat will not smell." As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that words alone would hardly dispel people's stereotypes about the smell of pork. So he pointed his finger at the fattest pig in the pigsty on the left and said: "Zhang Song, come, just that pig, catch it and kill it. Today I will let you taste the craftsmanship and see what it is. Pork smells, you still can’t make it.”

Zhang Song tends to believe in Li Xin. After all, he has witnessed Li Xin's castration that can help these pigs grow meat quickly. So, without saying anything, he went in according to Li Xin's instructions and caught the pig.

Of course, these pigs are actually not that big, and they are estimated to be about a hundred kilograms or less, and they are not considered as adults. If Li Xin just wanted everyone to taste it, that would be enough.

Zhang Song is indeed a skilled butcher, and his stature is very burly, one person can easily subdue a pig and force it out of the pigpen. Li Xin motioned to Zhang Ben and Chen Hu to come forward to help, and the three of them successfully tied the pig to a long stool.

Li Datong: "There are two main reasons why you feel that pork is stinking. The first is that pigs that have not been castrated will continuously produce a kind of smelly substance in their body, and this substance will be distributed in its meat. , It will look very stinky to eat. Secondly, because you kill the pig without bleeding, you cook it bloody, and of course it will have a fishy smell when you cook it."

Zhang Song and Zhang Quanfu listened as if understanding. Chen Youlan and Xiao Ling were standing a little further away with their arms around Xiao Runniang, frowning slightly. They are not quite used to this kind of rough picture in front of them, especially the tied pig is still wailing, sounding very pitiful.

After Li Xin roughly explained the reason, he gestured with his hands and taught Zhang butcher **** pigs, how to bleed them, and how to deal with the internal organs of those pigs. Zhang Song listened attentively, remembering one by one in his heart.

After finishing all the lectures, Li Xin said: "I don't want to watch killing pigs. You can do it after I take them away. Let's go around first, and come back later."

Qin Huaiyu smiled; "What's so scary about killing a pig, why don't you just watch it here?"

They are the children of Jiangmen, who have an instinctive desire for killing, or how can they go hunting in the mountains every now and then?

Li Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't I like to deal with you uneducated people? Do you understand the gentleman? Go for a walk, go to other places, and give it to a professional. The butcher is good."

Seeing Li Xin's insistence, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo shrugged to keep up.

No one noticed that a smile suddenly appeared on Chen Youlan's face.

Only she knew why Li Xin insisted on taking everyone away, and refused to stay to watch the excitement of pig killing: because he didn't want her to see such a **** and violent scene.

It's so careful that it doesn't leave a trace. She thought so.
