Chapter 994: Wild Boars Eat Meat

Li Yu's expression looked a little embarrassed, his mouth twitched slightly, and he was screamed by others who said that he was hungry, which was indeed a rather faceless thing.

As the future emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Yu is naturally a person with a good face, anyone with status is a good face, and Li Yu is not exempt from vulgarity.

However, Ang Lee is not an outsider, it doesn't matter much if he loses face a little in front of Ang Lee, besides, he can also go back.

"The scream of Li Shilang's stomach is not small!"

Li Yu pouted and said.

Li An opened his mouth and smiled, and said: "It's time for dinner, it's not normal if your stomach doesn't bark, let's go, let's eat food from the Tang Dynasty, haha!" ”

"The food of the Tang Dynasty? This metaphor is good, and it tastes even better. ”

Li Yu said with a smile, and followed Li An to the barbecue place below.

After this conversation, Li Yu can at least be sure that Li An is on his side, and in this way, he is much more relieved, he knows better than anyone about the current situation in the court, he knows that his father's situation is very bad, if it weren't for forbearance, it is estimated that something would have happened a long time ago.

To say that Li Yu is also a hard-working child, his father has been under residential surveillance, and his biological mother died not long after he was born, so Li Yu has not been able to enjoy real maternal love since he was a child, and he has no idea what kind of emotion maternal love is.

Since no one loves himself, he must love himself, and he needs to be strong, and it is precisely because of this strong character that Li Yu has achieved very good political performance after ascending the throne, and he is a good emperor.

The local chicken soup and roast wild boar have been made, and the next main task is to eat one word, eat all the delicacies, fill your stomach first, and then continue to enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains of Datang.

Roast wild boar is made in full accordance with Ang Lee's requirements, while roasting wild boar meat while constantly smearing edible oil and various seasonings on the surface of the pork, and in order to be able to roast and roast thoroughly, the surface of the wild boar is cut with many stripes, so that the aroma of various seasonings is easier to enter the inside of the pork, in addition, after the internal organs of the wild boar are hollowed out, a lot of seasonings are also stuffed inside.

The wild boar produced by this method of production must be extremely fragrant, and it is many times sweeter than the wild boar meat made without anything.

Chicken soup, spotted-winged partridges and hares and other small prey, all have been made, each is a peerless delicacy, and because of the large number of people in the group, if there is no wild boar, there will definitely be people who are not full, of course, even if these game meat is not enough to eat, there is not much problem, when the departure is to bring enough food, all kinds of pastries and staple food are not lacking, will not let anyone hungry.

Ang Lee's principle is only one, that is, eat the game first, if the game is not enough, he will use the food he brought, and if the game cannot be eaten, the rest will be given to the guards.

However, before eating and drinking, no one can accurately judge whether the game is enough to eat, so it is necessary to follow the emperors and grandchildren first, prepare all the delicious food for them, let them all eat enough, and the rest of the people can eat the rest of the game to their heart's content.

"Local chicken soup, spotted-winged quail soup, braised hare meat, roasted wild boar, each dish is a rare delicacy! The smell is mouth-watering. ”

Li Yu walked in front of the food, and a very happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, it's all ready to eat."

Li Shi finished drinking the pigeon soup just now, but it was obvious that he hadn't eaten enough, how could such a little food feed Li Shi, a little gluttonous cat.

"Father, I want to eat roast wild boar, it's so fragrant!"

Tang Er put his little thumb in his mouth and looked at Li An flatteringly.

Li An looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and eat!" There was enough food for the children, and the guards each tasted a piece of roast boar first. ”

Several cooks hurriedly began to distribute these delicacies, and the best and fattest food was distributed among the emperors and grandchildren, and the next ones were distributed to the attendants, and the worst wild boar was distributed to the guards, and they themselves were even worse to be kept.

Li An and Li Yu shared the best food, better than the emperor's grandson, the chef is not a fool, naturally knows who has the highest status among all people.

"This wild boar is fragrant and crispy, more delicious than the roast wild boar I have eaten before!"

Li Yu put a piece of crispy yellow and oily wild boar meat into his mouth, chewed it lightly a few times, and praised it sincerely.

"Huh! The roast wild boar that I personally directed, the taste still needs to be said, looking at the whole Datang, I can't find a second chef who can cook than me, if I say that I am the second chef of Datang, no one dares to say that I am the first, do you say yes. ”

Li Ang boasted proudly, and looked at the several imperial chefs next to him.

"What Li Shilang said is that our skills can't even be compared to Li Shilang's nine cows."

Several imperial chefs complimented.

Li Yu's expression was a little embarrassed, he had always been a little unable to see through Ang Lee, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, chefs are relatively lowly skills, no one will show off their cooking skills, and even feel a little ashamed to be able to cook, but Ang Lee has shown off his cooking skills more than once, which makes many people unable to figure it out.

After all, they are people of this era, and their thoughts have great limitations, and the Confucianism they have been exposed to since childhood have made it clear that the gentleman is far away from cooking, and continues to pass on this idea, so that the people born later also think so, so that people with high status will not cook by themselves, and even, in an ordinary family, men do not cook, and the task of cooking is given to women, and the cooking industry that men specialize in is also considered a cheap industry.

Of course, Li An comes from later generations, and the environment in which he lived since he was a child is different from that of the Tang Dynasty, and the ideological structure is naturally very different, the aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty all think that cooking is not something that a man with status should do, but Li An feels that a man with status is understandable to occasionally cook something delicious, which can better show a person's versatility and warmth, and he is called a warm man in later generations.

Ang Lee, a warm man, is not generally good at cooking, after his guidance, the imperial chef in the palace has made great progress in the quality of cooking, no chef is not convinced by Ang Lee, and worships Ang Lee as a god-like figure, so he almost didn't build a shrine to worship.

"Mr. is so good at cooking, why don't you become an imperial chef!"

Li Shi is too young, and he doesn't know much about the matter of Junzi Yuan's cooking, so naturally he won't have any scruples, he can say whatever he wants, and his identity is also relatively noble, even if he says something wrong, it doesn't matter, who dares to investigate the fault of the future emperor.

"Shi'er, don't talk nonsense."

Li Yu opened his mouth and taught a lesson.

Li An said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Shi'er is right, it's a pity that someone like me who is so good at cooking doesn't go to be an imperial chef, isn't it!" Ha ha! ”

"Li Shilang is a person who does big things, how can he be a small imperial chef?"

The imperial chef casually followed.

"You kid, I'm afraid that this official will rob you of your job! Hahaha! ”

"Hahaha!"

The imperial chef naturally knew that this was a joke, Li An was such a capable person, he would only snatch the imperial chef's job when he was sick, and the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would never agree.

"Kids, do you think wild boar is delicious?"

Li An opened his mouth to ask the emperor grandson who was tasting wild boar, he had already drunk pigeon soup just now, so the emperor and grandson liked to eat solid wild boar meat more at the moment, and the wild boar meat made according to Li An's method was indeed very delicious, and it was mouth-watering at a glance.

"It's delicious."

The emperors and grandsons replied in unison.

"Do you think there is any difference between wild boars and domestic pigs? Who's going to say. ”

Ang Lee asked with a smile.

"Sir, wild boars are taller and stronger, and domestic pigs can't beat wild boars."

"Sir, wild boars hurt people, domestic pigs are very obedient and will not hurt people."

"Sir, domestic pigs are too lazy, every day in addition to eating and sleeping, wild boars run around in the mountains, not as lazy as domestic pigs."

"Sir, wild boars have a pair of tusks, while domestic pigs do not have tusks."

The emperors and grandchildren expressed their opinions separately.

Li An nodded with satisfaction, and said: "What you said is very good, it seems that you have all thought about it seriously, but what you said is not complete, and there are more differences that have not been said, think about it again?" ”

"Sir, domestic pigs have no freedom, domestic pigs can only stay in the pigsty, while wild boars can walk in the mountains and go wherever they want."

"Sir, the domestic pigs are fed, but the wild boars are not fed."

"Sir, the domestic boar looks fat and cute, and the wild boar is so fierce that it makes people scary to look at."

The emperors and grandsons also gave some examples to prove the difference between domestic pigs and wild boars.

Li An nodded more satisfied, and said, "Your answer is so good, Mr. is very satisfied, very satisfied!" Hahaha! Well, I'm going to ask you a few questions. ”

After pondering for a while, Li An looked at the emperors and grandchildren and asked, "Do you know what wild boars eat?" ”

"Sir, wild boars eat grass!"

"No, the wild boar's fangs arch back and forth in the grass, and the wild boar must eat the grass roots."

"Wild boars eat leftovers and eat grain."

"Where are the leftovers in the mountains, wild boars eat the fruit!"

The emperors and grandsons replied.

Li An smiled and said: "You are all right, these things are the food of wild boars, there are no leftovers in the mountains, but if someone estimates that they are lost in the mountains, wild boars will also eat them, but the things that wild boars eat, in addition to grass, grass roots, and fruits, also eat insects, bird eggs, mice, hares, and juvenile fawns, as long as they can be killed, he can eat them, and even, rotten and spoiled carrion, wild boars can eat them." ”

This is not nonsense, wild boar is a typical omnivore, that is to say, as long as it is food that people can eat, wild boars can be eaten, and the food that humans can not eat, wild boars can also eat, it is simply all-in, it seems that there is no food that wild boars can not eat, if it is a selection of foodies in nature, wild boars can definitely be on the list.

"Wow, wild boars are so powerful! Can you eat so much? ”

The emperors and grandsons exclaimed.

"What is this, if you are very hungry, wild boars can also prey on scorpions and snakes, and even, you can also prey on young beasts, such as small wild dogs, small wild leopards or something, as long as the wild boar can beat it, he can hunt it, very powerful!"

This is also verified, later generations of scientists who specialize in the study of wild boars, their task is very simple, that is, desperate to study the living habits of wild boars, including what wild boars eat and do, what hobbies and so on.

Through the research of scientists, these characteristics of wild boars have been discovered, and the recipes of wild boars are known, compared to humans, the sense of smell of wild boars is too high, it can smell the smell of eggs far away, and follow the smell to carefully find the location of the eggs, and in this process, the female bird will leave the nest, and use the noise she makes to attract the attention of the wild boar, hoping to lead away the wild boar, however, as a foodie, the wild boar will not be fooled, it will have nothing to do with the wild birds around, continue to look for the location of the eggs, When found, they eat the eggs.

Scorpions and poisonous snakes are very dangerous and pose a threat to wild boars, however, wild boars are born with a certain immunity to these toxins, and a bite from poisonous snakes and scorpions is not fatal, so wild boars can eat scorpions and snakes.

As for the ferocious beasts, although they often eat wild boars, they are adult beasts with hunting experience, and in the juvenile stage before they are adults, these little cheetahs and small hounds cannot beat wild boars, so it is very likely that they will become food for wild boars, that is, cheetahs will eat wild boars, but wild boars can also eat juvenile cheetahs in some cases.

For wild boars, the natural predators are all kinds of meat-eating beasts, among which, the most threatening are tigers and wolves, and these two animals eat the most wild boars.

The tiger's attack power is very strong, and there is not much pressure to hunt wild boars with huge bodies, however, tigers are generally reluctant to hunt strong male wild boars, and are more willing to hunt female wild boars and baby wild boars, after all, the fangs of strong male wild boars are too terrible, in case of hurting the tiger, it is likely to cause the tiger to lose its ability to hunt, so as to starve to death step by step, although the example of a male wild boar killing a tiger is very rare, but the tiger has to consider this situation.

The wolf attack on the wild boar is much more insidious, they will not clash with the wild boar head-on, and choose to besiege the wild boar, the wolf on the front is responsible for attracting the attention of the wild boar, and the attacking wolf is behind the wild boar, specifically responsible for attacking the perineal part of the wild boar, so that the wild boar will bleed a lot because of the injury, and eventually, the wild boar will become weaker and weaker because of excessive blood loss, so that it will be eaten by the wolves.
