The Zhangjiang River slowly passed through the boundary of Yuzhang County and flowed into the distance.

Most of the time, the river doesn't seem turbulent, it just flows quietly.

Ten miles outside Yuzhang City, there is a swamp called Huyangxia, which is an inaccessible area in Yuzhang County.

However, early this morning, there were more than a dozen people here.

"Everyone be a little careful, this pig dragon likes to come out in the morning to bask in the sun, and this lake sheep is the place where the pig dragon is the most."

Qin Jincai held a special fork and carefully searched for movement around him.

"County Lieutenant, this pig dragon, when he first came out of the cave in the morning, he was the most sluggish, if we can find a few more at this time, maybe we can each carry one back today."

Xu Wenqiang is Qin Jincai's right-hand man, as a famous splash in Yuzhang County in the early years, and now he is very satisfied in the role of a bad person.

Few people in Yuzhang County are more familiar with the big and small things than him.

Coupled with his boldness and carefulness, when Qin Jin formed the Zhu Polong capture team, he was the first to think of him.

"Listening to you say that, it seems to be the truth."

Qin Jincai is also quite familiar with Zhu Polong, and after thinking about it, he feels that what Xu Wenqiang said makes sense.

As a cold-blooded animal, in the morning, its body temperature is slightly low, which will cause the blood circulation to be relatively slow, the limbs are slow to respond to nerve instructions, and even the vision of its eyes has deteriorated.

Of course, this truth, whether it is Qin Jincai or Xu Wenqiang, does not know.

They don't need to know, as long as they understand that Zhu Polong likes to come out in the morning to bask in the sun, and he is slow to react before he comes out, which is enough.

"County Lieutenant, this Gu family's shop has set such a high price, yesterday we just caught two pig dragons, and they gave the same money. If you keep catching this all day long, everyone will send it. ”

In the team, a member of the Qin family said with anticipation.

"I would suggest that you mainly come in the morning to catch the pigs and dragons, and try not to provoke them in the afternoon."

Xu Wenqiang once again recalled Zhu Polong's style of acting and put forward his own suggestions.

"Why not in the afternoon?"

"When the sun gets bigger at noon, the pig dragon usually stays in the water. At this time, it is very inconvenient for us to capture, and if we are not careful, there will be danger. ”

After Xu Wenqiang's words were finished, the people around him recalled the picture of the time they had seen Zhu Polong, which seemed to be consistent with what he said.

"County lieutenant, look, there is a pig dragon there, which is longer than a person, and this pig dragon is estimated to be nearly 100 catties."

A sharp-eyed team member, next to a bush of reeds, spotted a pig dragon basking in the sun.

"Wait a minute, let's do the same as yesterday, I will fork the head of the pig dragon with a fork, so that its big mouth has no chance to open, and then you find a few people to press on its back, Wen Qiang, you are the sharpest, find a chance to give this pig dragon a knife under the mouth, it is best to cut off its head."

Qin Jincai simply assigned the task, and a dozen or so people scattered around him.

The pig dragon in Yuzhang County is not like the huge size of the Lingnan side, as long as everyone is careful, there is basically no special difficulty.

In the past, it was only rare for everyone to form a team to catch it, so it seemed that when one person faced the pig dragon, he was weak.

Especially when you meet some guys who are relatively large, you really can't handle it alone.

"It's not good, this pig dragon has found us, it's going to run, fast, let's move smartly."

As soon as Qin Jin approached the reeds with the team, he found that the pig dragon began to stand up, looking indifferently in the direction of everyone.

Don't think that only humans are afraid of these beasts, in fact, almost all animals are also afraid of humans.

"It's running this way!"

"Bang!"

"I hit it."

"There's a hole in front, probably its cave, plugging it."

"Press it down, I'm shutting its mouth."

After a period of chaos, this nearly two-meter-long pig dragon was completely controlled by the capture team.

"Poof!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the pig polong was turned over, Xu Wenqiang gave it a knife cleanly.

This pig dragon is relatively large, if it is stabbed in the back, it is estimated that it may not be able to cause any damage.

But the abdomen is different, its nails are noticeably not as hard.

"Hiss!"

After being stabbed with a knife, Zhu Polong shook his head desperately, trying to open his mouth.

However, Qin Jincai's fork was specially made, which just stuck its mouth and couldn't open it at all.

Coupled with the fact that the three strong men pressed on its body, this pig dragon became the first trophy of the day for the capture team in a few moments.

"The brothers are all good, and the first five hundred dollars are in hand today!"

Qin Jincai looked at the pig dragon under his feet with satisfaction, and felt that the errand arranged for him by His Royal Highness the King of Chu was really good.

Looking at Datang, the Qin family is nothing.

But specifically in Yuzhang County, the Qin family is still a little powerful, so it can be regarded as a poor family.

If His Royal Highness the King of Chu is willing to support his family, then at least in the Hongzhou territory, the Qin family still has a chance to get ahead.

"County lieutenant, look, is there a pig dragon crawling over there?"

Huyangxia is worthy of being a no-man's land in Yuzhang County, and the frequency of Zhu Polong is obviously higher than that of other places.

Soon, Qin Jincai led the capture team and started a new round of hunting.

……

To the west of Yuzhang County, a large courtyard was bought by Gu Panpan.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, these pig dragons are so ugly, is its skin really useful?"

Watching the helper remove the skin of Zhu Polong's abdomen and dry it naturally on top of the bamboo pole, Gu Panpan couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

"Whether it's useful or not, it's not something you need to worry about. Anyway, after the leather tanning of this pig Polong, you can arrange for someone to transport it directly to Chang'an City, and the clothing shops in the Chu Wangfu will buy them all, and you will definitely not be allowed to do a loss-making business as much as you want. ”

Although Li Kuan couldn't afford to buy a crocodile bag in his previous life, when the female ticket was unhappy, he cured all diseases, and he still understood this truth.

Small square bags, chain bags, messenger bags, bucket bags, shell bags, box bags, woven bags, jelly bags, Boston bags, platinum bags, backpacks, dumpling bags, tassel bags......

There's always one that can do it.

If you don't understand, let's do it again.

Although there may be no way to directly process the skin of this pig Polong into a finished skin that can be made into a bag in Yuzhang, it is made into a semi-finished product and transported to Chang'an City for further processing, which is more in line with Li Kuan's vision.

In later generations, a Hermes crocodile bag was measured in millions at every turn, and it scared people to death.

Even if it is a brand that is not famous at all, as long as it is a genuine crocodile bag, it will cost thousands of dollars to say the least.

Therefore, Li Kuan is not worried at all that there will be no market for the skins of these pig dragons after they are transported back to Chang'an.

In the eyes of the people of Yuzhang County, it is a useless pig Polong, but in their own eyes, it is a treasure.

Imagine that when the ladies of Chang'an City travel, they all hold a pig dragon bag in their hands when they travel, well, this name is not very good, just call it the golden bag.

Crocodile skin is known as the gold in the skin, and this gold bag is also a more appropriate name.

"Lord Wang, can you really eat the meat of this pig Polong?"

Qing'er, a snack merchant, saw the real divided pork and dragon meat, but thought of today's dinner.

"This ...... Is this thing really edible? ”

Gu Panpan swallowed his saliva, and looked at the piece of pork dragon meat that was not very thick.

As a Jiangnan person, Gu Panpan usually eats less meat than mutton and fish.

Now that she saw the pig dragon covered in pimples, His Royal Highness the King of Chu actually wanted to eat its meat, and she felt so unacceptable.

However, Wu Meiniang on the side didn't think so.

In her opinion, in order to encourage the people of Yuzhang to make every effort to remove the harm of the pig dragon, his prince actually took the lead in eating such an ugly thing, which is simply the Buddha spirit of "I don't go to hell, who goes to hell".

It is worthy of my favorite His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Whether it's good or not, you'll know at night."

Li Kuan replied noncommittally.

Li Kuan seems to have eaten crocodile meat by chance in his previous life, but he has no impression.

Still, it's edible, he's sure.

The people of Yuzhang County, usually eat meat a few times a year, if eating pig Po dragon meat is accepted by everyone, it can be regarded as a supplementary meat source for everyone.

The most important thing is that for Yuzhang County, the best way to completely reduce the harm caused by Zhu Polong is to make this thing edible.

But anything that can be eaten, in the future generations of China, there is no need to worry about it being too much, endangering the environment or human safety.

Look at the later generations of crabs and carp in Europe and the Americas, and if this is in China?

Hi Da Pu Ben!

……

Yayi Pavilion was chartered today.

Li Kuan directly arranged for the cook he brought to Yayi Pavilion to be responsible for today's meal arrangement.

This is not because Li Kuan wants to let these officials and masters in Hongzhou see the food in his palace, but the chefs of Yayi Pavilion, none of them will use pig polong meat to cook.

In order to let everyone see this "whole feast", Li Kuan thought about a few dishes.

After His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to Hongzhou, he took the initiative to entertain everyone for the first time, whether it was the Hongzhou Assassin History or the Yuzhang County Order, these people all came to the appointment site early.

"Envoy, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu specially arranged for his cook to go to the back kitchen of Yayi Pavilion to prepare food."

Zeng Xing followed by Lu Wei, the assassin of Hongzhou.

The county officials are not as good as the current management, for Zeng Xing, more often, how to let Lu Weigao look at himself is the most meaningful thing.

"This official has long heard that the food of the Chu Palace's mansion is a must in Chang'an City, but I didn't expect that we were not in Chang'an City, but we had the opportunity to taste such food, which is a blessing."

Lu Wei was very satisfied in his heart, he felt that Li Kuan, as the dignified king of Chu, treated him with great courtesy, which could be described as a great way to give himself face.

Of course, he also fully supports the promotion of Nanyang rice planting.

"Is there anything else going on? At that moment, Xia Guan will have to taste it well. ”

Zeng Xing, the county magistrate of Yuzhang County, is obviously not as rich in information as the history of Hongzhou's assassination.

However, when Lu Wei and Zeng Xing were talking, Qin Jincai, who was not far away, wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't know whether to remind his boss.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived!"

After everyone greeted each other in Yayi Pavilion for a while, Li Kuan also stepped on the time to come over.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

After some politeness, everyone sat down in a priority manner.

The custom of Chinese people is that they like to talk about things at the wine table.

Li Kuan didn't want everyone to just sit there and talk awkwardly, because he was going to leave Hongzhou in a few days, and he had nothing to talk about with them.

So, it was just a cup of tea, and the guys at Yayi Pavilion began to serve the food.

"Zhu Po Long Ball Soup, please use it slowly."

The shopkeeper of Yayi Pavilion personally talked about a copper basin from the man's plate, and the steaming dish was brought to the table.

"Pig Po Dragon Ball Soup?"

Lu Wei couldn't help but repeat.

I have been in Hongzhou for several years, and I am also a frequent visitor to Yayi Pavilion, this pig Po dragon ball soup, but it is the first time I have heard of it.

"Braised pig Po dragon palm, please use it slowly!"

Before Lu Wei could start eating the strange pig polong ball soup, the shopkeeper brought another strange-looking dish to the table.

"Come, this king will taste this pig dragon ball first and see what it tastes like."

Li Kuan knew that if he didn't move the chopsticks, these people would not dare to do it first.

Of course, as soon as he finished saying this, Qing'er, who was standing behind him, took the initiative to step forward and serve him a bowl of Zhu Po Long Ball Soup.

Seeing that Li Kuan took the lead in eating, he didn't dare to eat it, right?

Lu Wei endured the discomfort in his heart, and also sandwiched a pig Polong pill into his mouth.

There is no strange smell as expected, and there is no special reaction.

When you bite into it, it feels quite elastic and a little sticky.

Lu Wei's eyes brightened slightly, and his face became much more natural.

The meatballs made of this pig polong meat, I didn't expect it to be quite tender, and I wanted to take a second bite after eating a bite.

It's not quite what I imagined.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this is the first time for Xia Guan to eat this pig Po dragon meat, I didn't expect that inside this rough appearance, the meatballs made of its meat are actually very tender."

Although Lu Wei still hasn't fully understood why Li Kuan invited everyone to eat pig and dragon meat in Yayi Pavilion.

But it didn't prevent him from taking this opportunity to pat himself on the back.

"This red braised pig Po Long, you all try it."

Li Kuan's ability to bear flattery is not ordinarily high.

The idle sycophants can't make him react anymore.

At Lu Wei's level, it's too watery!

After that, fried pork dragon steak, garlic pork dragon meat, and braised pork dragon tail......

In the entire table, there was not a single dish that did not use Zhu Polong.

By this time, whether it was Lu Wei or Zeng Xing, they finally realized something.

It seems that a character like His Royal Highness the King of Chu, even if it is a meal, contains deep meaning.
