"Lord Wang, the food supply of the guards is the responsibility of the old slaves, and it should be regarded as high among all the nobles of the Great Wall. Manager Xue still thinks it's not enough, please forgive the old slave for not agreeing! ”

Laifu was also beside him, and when he heard Xue Li and Xi Junmai say this, he was immediately unhappy.

"Xue Li, don't you think I'm greedy for the guards' rations?"

Seeing Laifu say this, Xue Li immediately became embarrassed with a smile, "Come to the housekeeper, look at what you said, I have no intention of doing so." And I can testify for you that the food of the guards and maids in the palace is indeed no worse than that of other noble families. ”

"Then what do you mean by not having enough meat? Even Your Majesty doesn't eat meat three times a day, don't you still want everyone in the palace to eat three meals a day? Laifu saw Xue Li admit his cowardice and did not let him go.

During this time, Xue Li was training with these guards, and he ate more food than everyone else in the palace combined.

"Well, this king knows."

Li Kuan was speechless, and he basically understood the problem.

In recent years, everyone's diet has very little oil and water, according to the current training amount of the guards, it is normal to eat three or four catties of rice a day, and the reason why I didn't hear about this problem when I was in Liangzhou is mainly because Liangzhou is located in the frontier, there is no shortage of cattle and sheep, and even eating mutton is cheaper than eating grain.

Now that I have returned to Chang'an City, I don't want to eat beef, which is forbidden by the Tang Dynasty; In the case of mutton, there is naturally it, but the price is definitely completely different from that in Liangzhou.

Nowadays, all kinds of internal affairs of the Chu Wangfu are basically managed by Laifu, how much is everyone's monthly money, and how much is the expenditure of the public middle school, there are fixed numbers, and naturally they will not be promoted at will.

This has led to today's situation.

In the final analysis, Datang's meat supply is too small, and of course, it can also be understood that Datang's living standard is still too poor.

Xue Li and Laifu looked at Li Kuan's grim expression, and they were silent.

"Uncle Laifu, is the price of pork much cheaper than mutton?"

"Pork......" Laifu had a constipated expression, to be honest, he hadn't eaten pork for so many years, only those poor people would occasionally buy it to eat, "Lord Wang, this pork is cheap, but it's poisonous!" ”

"Huh? Is pork poisonous? Li Kuan suddenly felt that his outlook on life and worldview had been subverted.

The second senior brother, who was a must-have on the table of the Chinese people in later generations, is now considered poisonous?

"Yes, Lord Wang, it is said in the medical books: When a pig is killed, it is shocking to the heart, and it is impossible to eat too much." Laifu also looked at Li Kuan with a surprised expression, "I don't believe you asked Lin Ran."

"Lord Wang, pork is closed to the blood veins, weak muscles and bones, weak human muscles and bones, don't eat it." After Lin Ran returned to Beijing, he followed Sun Simiao to perform surgery in the silkworm room for several days, and it was rare for Li Kuanai to be in the other hospital, so he followed beside him.

"The muscles and bones of a weak fart will only be weak if there is no meat to eat." Li Kuan was speechless when he saw that even Lin Ran thought so, "Uncle Laifu, you will send someone to buy a pig from a nearby village now, this king wants to let you see whether pork is delicious or not!" ”

After Li Kuan's words were finished, Lin Ran and the others all looked at each other, not knowing what kind of play their prince was going to do.

……

The arm couldn't twist the thigh, although Laifu was reluctant in every way, but since Li Kuan had spoken, he had to send someone to buy pigs.

Fortunately, there were some villages near the palace annex, and I quickly bought one and came back.

"So small? Is there a hundred pounds? ”

Li Kuan looked at the second senior brother in front of him whose limbs were tied with ropes, his mouth kept howling, and his eyes were frightened, there was no doubt.

Eating pork, it is naturally the best to have a big fat pig, this kind of pig with no 100 catties, it looks like it is malnourished, the cheekbones are high, and the body is dirty, no wonder only the poor people eat pork.

"Lord Wang, this pig has been weighed, it is ninety-two catties, it is already very rare, and the farmer has raised it for more than a year." Laifu looked at his master with an aggrieved face.

All right!

Li Kuan felt that his ideas had been subverted again.

In later generations, those pigs had about 200 catties casually, and some Montenegrin pigs could grow to three or four hundred catties, and the pork sold in the market basically did not have been bred for more than half a year.

Compared to the pig in front of me......

It seems that everyone's ancestors are not easy!

"Who will kill a pig?" Li Kuan felt that he couldn't talk to everyone anymore, so let's start directly.

"Lord, I will! Let me try it! Xi Junmai volunteered, and without waiting for Li Kuan to reply, he walked over and picked up the pig on the ground and threw it into the air, and the knife fell down, accompanied by the screams of the pig, and a pig's head and the pig's body were separated.

"Smack!"

The pig's head and body hit the ground at the same time, and at the same time, the pig's blood spurted out of the pig's neck splashed in all directions!

"Holy!"

Li Kuan couldn't help but come up with a mantra for later generations!

It's called killing pigs?!!!

Li Kuan was completely speechless, fortunately the pig's blood did not splash on him, otherwise he would have been depressed.

I originally wanted to have a pot of pig blood soup......

"Good knife technique!" Xue Li cheered, which can be regarded as pulling a group of confused people back to reality.

Li Kuan was also powerless to complain anymore, seeing that Xi Junmai continued to give pork leg hair three times and five by two, and opened his stomach, pieces of fresh pork appeared in front of him.

"Let's have a braised pork, forget it, I can't find two taels of fatty meat, and I can't make this braised pork." Li Kuan began to think about what to eat tonight, "Braised pork ribs, roast pork knuckles, cold salad pork ears, fried fat sausage with sprouts, meatballs, and a tubular bone radish soup, it should be about the same." ”

Some dishes are very time-consuming to make, and Li Kuan is naturally not in the mood to toss now, so let these people who think pork is poisonous see what the taste of pork tastes like.

In the kitchen of the annex of the Chu Palace, a group of cooks were nervously busy.

Li Kuan and Laifu spent a lot of words, and after arguing about what Meng Fuzi meant by "gentleman is far away from cooking", they finally came to the kitchen.

These dishes are not difficult, the key is that everyone has never thought of so many before, and all kinds of dishes are either boiled or stewed, and the taste cannot be compared with later generations.

It was just half an hour's work, and all kinds of unheard of, unseen pork products appeared in front of Xue Li and the others.

"Lord Wang, I am a doctor, the so-called doctor's parents' heart, this medical book says that pork is poisonous, but Lord Wang, you insist on eating pork, then I will test the poison for the prince first." Lin Ran looked at the braised pork ribs with an enticing fragrance floating in front of him, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Nope! This kind of thing should be what I, a guard, should do, so I'll give it a try. Wang Xuanwu, who hadn't spoken much, directly picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of pork ribs, and quickly put it in his mouth.

Wang Xuanwu made a move, and everyone turned their heads to stare at him.

I saw that this guy first held his mouth, and after a few breaths, his mouth suddenly stirred rapidly, and he looked at the plate of braised pork ribs in front of him with bright eyes, and continued to raise his chopsticks without waiting for the meat in his mouth to swallow his stomach.

At this time, there is no need to say anything, everyone can't help it.

Originally, the fragrance was very attractive, and Wang Xuanwu had this expression, so what are you waiting for?

"Lord Wang! I'll also try if this braised pork ribs is poisonous! ”

"Lord Wang! I'll see if those meatballs are poisonous! ”

"This cold salad pig ears have a strange shape, so let me test the poison."
