Feng Yong turned around and looked, it was Zhang Bao.

I only heard Zhang Bao say, "Since you can give An Guo one more, I don't think I will mind giving me one more."

Why?

Guan Xing is my brother-in-law, you are my ...... Cough!

Forget it, for Zhang Xingyi's sake, just give it, it's not a big deal.

"Well, no problem, I'll write two more copies, and Zhang Junhou will also take one copy then."

"What kind of prince is not a prince, you are also a person who has become a prince, pay attention to your words and deeds."

Guan Xing frowned and said, "Besides, I am the same brother as Xingwu, you call me brother, why do you need to be so angry with Xingwu?" ”

Feng Yong's forehead began to sweat slightly, one is his brother-in-law, the other is the brother of his ex-girlfriend, and these two are good brothers, they don't seem to be very good in this life......

Zhang Bao seemed to see Feng Yong's thoughts, glanced at him, and gestured to Guan Xing with his eyes.

Guan Xing coughed and said, "Nanxiang is your territory, Siniang went there, let people pay attention, but don't let her suffer any grievances." ”

"No, no, no," Feng Yong wiped his forehead, "I've already passed the news to people to watch it well." ”

Did you pass the news a long time ago?

When Guan Xing heard this, he glanced at Feng Yong with some meaning.

Zhang Bao also squinted at the same time, with a strong sense of defensiveness in his eyes: What do you want to do?

What can I do? It was you who asked me to help look at it, and I said that the news had already been passed on to you, and you had this look in your eyes, what do you mean?

It's boring!

"Two brothers, I'll go and tell the kitchen to cook first."

Feng Yong really couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, so he had to smear the soles of his feet with oil.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao glanced at each other, but before they could speak, they saw Feng Yong retreat back a little embarrassed, "That, two brothers, what do you want to eat?" The younger brother asked the kitchen to do some by the way. ”

Alas, a bunch of people outside called themselves brothers, and when they returned to the house, there were two more brothers, and they were a little unaccustomed.

Guan Xing sighed, "The pig's trotters that Sanniang brought back to the house last time tasted good, they were delicious, and they were chewy when they ate, and there were several big, big pig's trotters." ”

"Big ......"

Feng Yong opened his mouth and snorted, the corners of his mouth twitched.

However, Zhang Bao was a little surprised and surprised when he heard that Guan Xing was going to eat pig's trotters, "Can that thing be eaten?" ”

Guan Xing nodded, "You can't eat what others make, but this is a small ...... Well, what this Feng Mansion has made is a must. If Sanniang hadn't said that it was made of pig's trotters when I ate it for the first time, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

"Since An Guo said so, then I'll have a few too." Zhang Bao nodded, and said to Feng Yong emphatically, "Big pig's trotters." ”

Feng Yong: ......

"Two brothers, I'm not a big pig's trotter."

Feng Yong said faintly.

Guan Xing glanced at Feng Yong with some concern, "Are you okay?" Why are you talking nonsense? ”

Isn't it true that His Majesty and the Empress suddenly came to the Feng Mansion to make this brother-in-law too nervous, causing the recurrence of the old disease?

"No one said you were a big pig's trotter, they told you to be a big pig's trotter."

Zhang Bao also said.

What the hell am I ......

I don't want to be a big pig's trotter!

Feng Yong glanced at the innocent two with resentment, and retreated in disgrace.

After a while, the smell of food began to fill the house.

Feng's food has never disappointed, Adou took a bite of praise at the banquet, and his chubby face was even more bulging because his mouth was stuffed with food.

In particular, I have a soft spot for braised pork, and I ate a mouth full of oil.

Even Zhang Xingcai, who is a woman, did not show weakness, not only swept away the sweet and sour pork ribs on her case, but even Feng Yong saw it on her face.

So he hurriedly ran down and asked people to make a few more portions of each dish, which satisfied the appetite of several people.

Before leaving, Adou also packed all the uneaten food in the house, and even Guan Xing originally wanted to keep two pig's trotters and bring them back to his house to eat slowly, but they were also taken away by Adou.

"Brother, don't worry, although this pig's trotters are gone, there is still half a fan of pork in the room, what do you want to eat? Later, the younger brother asked the cook to make more, and someone sent it later. ”

Feng Yong quietly comforted Guan Xing.

At this time, meat is still very precious for most people.

In the Han Dynasty, pork was not relegated to the lowly status of the Tang and Song dynasties, but on the contrary, it was higher than the status of the pre-Qin period.

There is a record in the "Huainanzi" written by Liu An, the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty: The husband is tall and the one who is the animal is the best, and the god is not able to be virtuous than the beast elk, but the god is alone......

In other words, pork is a high-quality meat, something that is usually used to worship the gods.

In the homes of large landowners, there are even special pig breeders.

However, before the large-scale breeding of pigs in Nanxiang, most people in the world raised pigs, which was called herding pigs, that is, driving pigs to the wild to forage, like cattle and sheep.

This kind of grazing pigs have an extremely fierce character, and ordinary people really can't be pig killers, at least Kong Wu is strong, which is a necessary condition.

After castration, the pig will become docile, will not jump over the fence, suitable for house-raising fattening.

With the maturity of Nanxiang castration technology, pigs began to be housed in Hanzhong.

The manor-style agriculture in Hanzhong provided part of the food source for pig raising, and some came from wild pigweed, and some people even followed the example of Nanxiang, planting a large area of pigs and using stems and leaves as fodder.

And the bamboo in the ground can be dug up to serve as rations for the slaves on the estate.

From this point of view, the Xu family originally planned to sell it to Feng Yong, but in the end, Xu Niangzi, who was thrown to the ground by Feng Yong to farm, contributed a lot.

Solving the problem of feed sources, it is a matter of course that this way of raising pigs became popular, and even began to spread to Jincheng.

Now Wu Ming, the leader of the castration world, is the famous "knife" in Hanzhong, and takes his apprentices to run rampant in the pig houses of various manors in Hanzhong all day long.

Every time he attracted everyone to watch, he felt the envy of everyone with admiration, which made Wu Ming feel that his life had reached a climax and that his life had reached its peak.

Wu Ming is now one of the most popular figures in Hanzhong for the stewards of various estates, and every time he helps castrate pigs and chickens for other families, his waist bag will bulge.

The rise of the pig industry, in addition to providing meat to each family, also supplied a large amount to the workshops, ranches and mines in Nanxiang, so that the meat supply in Nanxiang is finally no longer tight.

In particular, the mine is hard work, with a lot of labor and a lot of calories that need to be replenished.

Without meat supplementation, the amount of food consumed is staggering and may not provide enough calories.

Let Wu Ming take his apprentices to various pig farms to help castrate, first, he wants his apprentices to accumulate more experience, and second, Feng Yong wants to promote the pig industry as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, it was the first industry to have an output effect in Nanxiang's education industry.

Now some people have begun to think of ways to dig up Wu Ming's apprentices, and the price is not low.

It's a pity that everyone underestimated the importance that Feng Yong attaches to the education industry - the castration industry also falls under the management of Nanxiang's education sector.

In addition to the shackles that were put on them openly and secretly, Nanxiang was known as the place where demons danced, and naturally had a special side compared to other places.

For example, Wu Ming, he has the identity of a subordinate official of the Yizhou Diannong School, although it is an official hat that cannot be smaller, and it is uncertain whether it can be regarded as an official position recognized by the imperial court.

But for those Cangtou Qianshou in Nanxiang who have just struggled from the food and clothing line, it is already something that they have longed for for three lifetimes.

Although only Wu Ming can wear the official hat, at least this is a kind of hope, a hope that cannot be seen elsewhere.

There is also a school where future generations can read and write, which is enough for those who have just turned over and become good books to stay here.

Not to mention those things like the welfare of food and clothing, and the bright future of children and grandchildren.

What can be given elsewhere by those who still regard them only as low-status craftsmen?

Therefore, Nanxiang Workshop Ranch is still a place where the broad masses of people want to settle down.

Compared with other places in Hanzhong, Nanxiang at this time was like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in later generations, and had a strong attraction.

With the influx of a large number of people, there are abundant human resources, and Feng Yong can be more unscrupulous in talent reserves.

Now Fengzhuang already has a big pig house, and even Zhuangzi is equipped with two eunuchs, both of whom are apprentices from Wu Ming's hands, transferred from Nanxiang.

Therefore, there is no shortage of pork in the village, Feng Yong found a gap and hurriedly brushed his brother-in-law's favorability.

After all, after he leaves for Yue tomorrow, he has to rely on his brother-in-law to help take care of Zhuangzi.

"There are two servings of all those dishes today, one for Anguo Mansion and one for my Mansion. Especially that candied red meat, make more of it, it's delicious! ”

When Guan Xing heard Feng Yong's words, he thought that this kid was interesting, but before he could speak, someone next to him suddenly came over and interjected.

"Now this pork is no longer the smell of the past, it is much more delicious, you kid is even better at raising a pig than others, he is indeed a capable person."

Zhang Bao said, and chewed his mouth, it seemed that he was licking the meat foam between his teeth, but he was a little dissatisfied, "You didn't entertain the emperor well, so you did so much, you are stingy!" It's not enough to eat...... Hiccup~"

Then there was a full hiccups.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, Feng Yong really wanted to beat someone's dog head with his eyes open and talking nonsense.

But thinking about Zhang Xingyi, it is normal for Zhang Bao to look at himself unpleasantly.

Forget it, bear with it first.

"Brother Zhang, that's not called candied red meat, it's called braised pork."

Feng Yong first corrected Zhang Bao's mistake, and then said, "The ingredients at home are only enough to make one serving, if you want to make more, you have to buy ingredients in the city, if it is too late today, I am afraid it will be too late." ”

When Adou and his wife ate, the entourage they brought over was qualified to follow the table, but it was these four people who made the chef of Feng Mansion busy, and the condiments in the kitchen were almost all at the bottom.

Zhang Bao sighed, "I'll let someone send a fat pig over tomorrow, and then you can let someone do some more, it's always okay, right?" ”

"Tomorrow I'm going to Viet Nam to take office."

Feng Yong squinted at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao snorted sullenly, and nodded dissatisfiedly to Feng Yong, "You kid is not kind, in the past, whenever there was a good thing, you would send a copy to my house, but now you have changed ......"

I'm damn it!

Feng Yong has the heart to kill this Zhang Bao!

Which pot is not opened?

Or is it in front of my brother-in-law, on purpose, right?

"Ahem, Xingwu, tomorrow he will leave for Yue, there are many affairs, so don't bother. One serving is enough, and when the time comes, you can have people send the food to Zhang's mansion and let the uncle and aunt of the Zhang family taste it too. ”

Guan Xing finally opened his mouth, the first half of the sentence was said to Zhang Bao, but the second half of the sentence was directed to Feng Yong.

On one side is a brother-in-law, on the other side is a brother, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, Guan Xing finally reconciled with the mud and proposed a solution.

It's just that Guan Xing was still unwilling in his heart after all, and he couldn't help but secretly pulled Feng Yong and commanded in a low voice: "Tomorrow, I'll let someone send some pig's trotters over, and you can ask someone to help me make a few big pig's trotters, it's always okay, right?" ”

Several families close to Feng Yong are now following the example of Hanzhong and raising some pigs in the Zhuangzi outside Jincheng, but the cooking techniques are still backward and far from the level of Fengfu.

"No problem, no problem."

Feng Yong nodded repeatedly.

My brother-in-law's request is naturally necessary.

After all, although Guan Xing didn't like him at the beginning, he didn't embarrass himself at all when he married Guan Ji, which made Feng Yong feel that his brother-in-law's character was still very good.

Zhang Bao looked at it from the side, and immediately felt a little sour.

After the car drove onto the official road, he said, "This Feng Mingwen is still closer to An Guo after all." ”

I wanted to send a fat pig over for him to do, but he refused.

An Guo wanted to send a few pig's trotters over for him to do, and he was full of answers.

The difference between intimacy and alienation is clear at a glance.

It wasn't like this before, I think at the beginning, when the woolen cloth first came out, Siniang was the first person in Jincheng to put on a sweater.

Although Mingli, like An Guo, looked at Feng Mingwen unpleasantly, in fact, Zhang Bao himself knew that characters like Feng Yong were rare husbands.

Otherwise, why would An Guo say that Feng Mingwen is not good, that is not good, but Sanniang's family affairs have no meaning of making things difficult at all?

It's a pity, it's a pity......

"Xingwu, can a fat pig be compared to a few pig's trotters? Those who don't know still think that you are going to put on a feast, but there are many things going on in his house in the past two days, so don't add to the chaos. ”

Guan Xing glanced at Zhang Bao angrily, "After he goes to Yue Wan to take office, when the affairs of this mansion are free, if you really want to eat, talk to me then, and I will help you pass a message." In this Feng Mansion, I can still say a few words. ”

This Feng Mansion is not as good as before, and now it is a Hou Mansion, so it is natural that someone will be in charge on weekdays.

Guan Ji was going to go to Yue Yong with Feng Yong, so Guan Xing naturally had to take on the responsibility of helping take care of Feng Mansion.

The people of Feng Mansion are not prosperous, and there is no way to do it.

The reason why the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was willing to favor Feng Yong and agreed to Guan Yinping to follow Feng Yong to Yuedong was not only Feng Yong's special situation, but also because Feng Yongnai was the only seedling and wanted Guan Yinping to give birth to an heir for the Feng family as soon as possible.

Not only the Feng Mansion, but even the Guan family and the Zhang family, the situation was not much better, so Guan Xing Zhang Bao had the cheekiness to ask Feng Yong what kind of secret method for the disciples.

"yes, I didn't expect this."

As soon as Zhang Bao heard Guan Xing's words, he suddenly slapped his thigh, "It's better to be clever with your thoughts." ”

Then he smacked his lips and asked in a low voice, "An Guo, I didn't expect this pork to be so delicious, do you think we should let Zhuangzi outside the city raise more pigs?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Xing nodded, "Xingwu and I thought about it." After Nanxiang changed the method of raising pigs, the meat quality was much fatter than before. ”

"What's more, this pig raising is also much more convenient than before, and there is no need to bother at all, compared to other meats, it can be regarded as an easy thing to obtain."

Both of them were born in a family of military generals, and they knew that meat was indispensable for practicing martial arts on weekdays.

Why do you have to treat the soldiers and try to give them meat before the war? Isn't it because of eating meat that you have the strength to fight?

It's a pity that meat is still too rare in normal times, and most people can't afford to eat it at all.

Nowadays, the method of raising pigs in Nanxiang is much simpler than before, as long as you build a pig house at will and put the pigsty in it.

Quyuan plough and Baniu plough have now been fully promoted in Dahan, Dahan grain is abundant year by year, if the family has more fields, they are willing to take some bran to feed the pigs.

In addition, be diligent, go to the wild to cut some pigweed, not to mention more, it is still okay to raise a few pigs.

Not to mention the families with large fields.

Guan Xing thought of this, and couldn't help but be shocked, if this is really the case, wouldn't there be more and more people who can eat meat in the future? This is also a major matter related to people's livelihood, right?

It's not going to ...... It's also my brother-in-law who has calculated it a long time ago, right? Otherwise, this method of raising pigs in Nanxiang, why don't you come out early or late, but it will come out after the grain is abundant?

And the abundance of food also has a lot to do with him!

Then at this time, coincidentally, caramel was also made by him, and the candied red meat, sweet and sour pork ribs made of caramel and other exquisite foods that even the royal family did not have also appeared, plus the trend of growing sugarcane sugar in Nanzhong......

The sum of all adds up to Guan Xing's illusion of interlocking and precise layout.

He turned his head and saw that Feng Zhuang was bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, which had a resplendent taste, and at the same time, in the shadows, there seemed to be a sense of unfathomability.
