Chapter 62: Braised Pork

"The head of the house, the little one has driven all our pigs here, hehe, these dozens of pigs are the best of the best, I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

He Er was carrying an account book in his arms, and as soon as they met, he hurriedly handed it to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang nodded, flipped through it casually, and was a little surprised when he saw that these pigs weighed nearly 10,000 catties in total.

He patted He Er's shoulder and said with a smile:

"You're very good, it's been a hard time, go back to the house and get some reward money from the account office!"

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's not hard......" He Er waved his hand again and again.

At first, Chu Yang asked him, the cook, to be in charge of raising pigs, and he still muttered a little in his heart, but after this period of time, he gradually got used to it, especially when he saw that the group of little piglets grew from small to big one by one, and finally grew into this rich appearance, not to mention the satisfaction in his heart.

"Master, do we have to give away all these pigs? I'll tell you the truth, the little ones have feelings for these big guys. ”

He Er looked a little reluctant, but Chu Yang scolded angrily.

"What's wrong with this, you have the feeling of raising pigs and pets? Roll on, don't you still have some piglets left at home, just keep them raised! ”

"Okay! The little one of the family is gone! ”

He Er smiled sheepishly, waiting for this sentence, and after completing the handover procedures, he ran away.

"Lord, He Er, this is a mistake and ...... again"

Seeing that Chu Yang was a little confused, Fan Xu leaned over and said with a smile:

"Back then, you didn't let him be a cook, he was afraid that you would drive him out of the house, and now that the pig raising thing has come to an end, he is afraid that he will become a useless person, this person, what he is most afraid of is insecurity, especially born in this world, who would want to leave if he can meet a family master like you."

Chu Yang smiled and shook his head.

"If you have something to say in the future, don't engage in these twists and turns in front of me, and I don't know who I learned from!"

Fan Hao said yes again and again, but he was secretly speechless in his heart.

My good master, in this world, you have to be thoughtful and quick-witted, and who can play with you!

Now that there are pigs, the rest of the things are easy to do, Chu Yang asked these fat pigs to be slaughtered on the spot in an open space behind the camp.

In the big camp, there may be nothing else, but the most are weapons and strong men.

Under the leadership of Fan Xu, a professional butcher, it only took half a day for the seventy or eighty fat pigs to be slaughtered and neatly placed on the stones.

Looking at the bewildered soldier, Chu Yang pointed over there.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't dare to go over and divide the pork, be careful of being robbed by others!"

Originally, Chu Yang thought that this would definitely cause a robbery, but he found that the soldiers looked at him with strange expressions.

After a long time, one of the soldiers mustered up the courage to ask:

"Are you planning to use pork as our food for this month?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

Since the Warring States period, the salaries of soldiers in the army have not been real money, but grain.

Even in some places, if there is not enough food, the salt is not fresh.

It's just this pork......

The soldiers looked at Chu Yang, and they all wanted to say something.

"If you have anything to say, it's all big men, what do you look like!"

Seeing Chu Yang speak, the soldier before said weakly:

"Adults are willing to find a way for us, it stands to reason that the small ones shouldn't pick and choose, but this pork is really fishy, it is difficult to swallow, in Surabaya, even the poorest people, unless absolutely necessary, will not eat such things, so ......"

The soldier's words were not finished, but Chu Yang already knew it in his heart.

In this era of barter, if even the poor are not willing to ask for it, then I am afraid that they will not even be able to exchange it for an egg.

It's just that since he dared to use these as food, he naturally thought of a foolproof plan a long time ago.

"Come on, bring things up!"

With Chu Yang's order, he saw the family members coming over with a large cauldron.

Chu Yang walked to the stones, cut off a few catties of pork belly with the dagger he carried with him, and turned around and walked back.

He first boiled the meat in hot water, then poured a small jar of lard into the large pot next to him and sprinkled a handful of frosting.

It didn't take long to see the frosting in the pot gradually turn black, and it was already starting to bubble.

Chu Yang skillfully cut the pork belly, threw it into the pot, and after a while, the originally white slices of meat were suddenly wrapped in a layer of golden armor, showing an attractive color.

Next, Chu Yang added liquor, spices, light soy sauce and soy sauce that had been made from soybeans some time ago.

After everything was done, Chu Yang closed the lid of the pot and sat down on the chair next to him.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the soldiers couldn't help but whisper.

It is said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, especially a big official like the county lieutenant, where can he do such vulgar and pickled things.

This lieutenant of Chu County is really a little peculiar!

But after a while, everyone involuntarily began to drool frantically.

The whole camp was filled with a strong smell of meat.

"This ...... What is this! How could it be so tempting! Oops, I'm drooling! ”

"This smells so good, it's even better than the dinner party in the county guard's mansion a few years ago, I was on duty at the time, oops, I'm going to be hungry!"

"Wine! There's also the smell of sake in it, what the hell is it? ”

The soldiers all looked crazy, kept looking around, and soon focused their eyes on the cauldron beside Chu Yang.

Seeing that their military master was sleeping on the chair, none of the soldiers dared to make a sound, so they could only stare at the iron pot and lick their tongues vigorously one by one.

An hour later, with the gurgling sound coming from the cauldron, Chu Yang yawned, and then stretched his waist and stood up lazily.

Seeing the red-eyed appearance of the soldiers, Chu Yang raised a smile on the corner of his mouth and walked to the pot table.

Under everyone's gaze, the lid of the pot was attached.

For a moment, the audience erupted in the sound of swallowing saliva.

Fragrant! It's so fragrant!

"What are you looking at, why don't you line up and wait for dinner!"

Fan walked over scoldingly, holding a large spoon in his hand.

"Even if your ancestral tomb is smoking, you can actually get the head of the family to cook it yourself, now you bastards are blessed! Hmph, Lao Fan, my ugly words are ahead, if anyone dares to chew his tongue in front of the head of the family, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

"Understood! General Fan, rest assured, we are not those ungrateful people! The military master treats the little ones like this, and the little ones naturally swear to follow! ”

Seeing that the soldiers said this, Fan Hao nodded.

"That's pretty much it, alright, take out your utensils and start serving the meat!"

As soon as Fan Xu's words fell, the soldiers rushed over, each holding their own food utensils, and some people didn't have them, so they took off their helmets directly.

After getting the meat, he didn't care about the heat, so he poured it directly into his mouth, and he sucked in pain one by one, but there was a satisfied expression on his face.

"Oh my God, is this really pork! How can it be so delicious, even compared to those chickens, the lamb is not bad at all! ”

"It's not bad at all, it's better than those things! Oops, hurry up and finish it, and you can go scoop it again! ”

"Still want to eat? Go on a dream, don't you see that those dogs have already scooped up the third time, and they are counting the balls! ”

The soldiers squatted together, gobbling it up for a while, and it didn't take long for the huge pot of braised pork to be eaten cleanly.

After they had eaten and drunk, the soldiers gathered together and chatted in groups, still with a sense of unfinished business on their faces.

They swore they had never eaten anything so delicious in their lives!

At this time, they looked at the unprocessed pork on the stone, and their eyes were different.

An hour ago, these lowly things that no one cared about, but now they have become fragrant and gluttonous, and they are expected by everyone.

After all, if there is no fishy smell, then pork is no worse than other meats.

With braised pork in front, all soldiers are sure that they can exchange these pork for what they want.

They looked at Chu Yang, and their eyes became hot.

They know that with such a boss, as long as they work hard and down-to-earth, the future will naturally be bright.

"Lieutenant Chu is really powerful, he is great at learning, he is very good at leading soldiers, I didn't expect this cooking skill to be so powerful, isn't it the reincarnation of a god?"
