"As far as you know, this prince asks you, is it just this pig?"

Li Yu was a little crying and laughing, but Cui Tong was stunned for a moment, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there are not many people in the East Palace, just this pig is enough for us to eat, chop it into meat filling, make it into dumplings, and we can eat it to our heart's content." ”

said, and said, "I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thrifty, so I didn't dare to make anything else, so I only made dumplings, and today is also suitable for eating dumplings." ”

Li Yu waved his hand, "Don't say it, I don't blame you, Prince Ben just thinks that there is too little pig, you go out right now, buy me pigs, buy as much as you can, and after you buy it, you will kill Prince Ben." ”

Hearing this, Cui Tong became more and more puzzled.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing buying so many pigs?"

"Make bacon."

"What is bacon?"

Li Yu was distressed, and said, "Don't worry about it, you just go and buy a pig for the prince, and you will know when you make it." ”

Cui Tong sighed, and then did not hesitate, and after taking the money, he took a group of people to buy pigs.

In this part of the capital, there are still a lot of pigs fed.

However, for many families, pigs are not for eating, but for digesting manure, Cui Tong walked along a street and bought dozens of pigs.

After buying these dozens of pigs, I hurried to a slaughterhouse in the west of the city, which was a special large-scale slaughterhouse, after all, it was okay to kill a pig in the slaughterhouse of the East Palace, and it would be a bit difficult to kill so much.

The people of the capital were very strange to see that the East Palace had bought so many pigs at once.

"Do you think the prince is sick, what are you doing with so many pigs?"

"You be quiet, dare to say that the prince is sick?"

"What's this, the prince won't care, I'm just curious about what he is doing with so many pigs."

"It must have been killed and eaten."

"That's not enough to eat."

“…………”

The people talked about it, and Cui Tong heard a little bit about it, but after he heard it, he was also at a loss, he knew that his prince wanted to make bacon, but what was bacon?

Dozens of pigs were quickly killed in the slaughterhouse, and after killing them, Cui Tong ordered more than a dozen carriages to hire more than a dozen carriages to pull the cut meat to the East Palace.

Even though it's winter, the smell of blood from the pork still doesn't smell pleasant.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the pork you asked for is ready, and it is all cut according to the style you ordered."

The pork was cut into strips, about a foot long, and after Li Yu saw it, he was still very satisfied, and then he smeared the salt that had been prepared by someone on the pork, and then began to smoke.

Smoking is a very long process, this pork, it took a total of two days to finally smoke the finished smoke, but even so, it is not edible, and it has to continue to dry.

At this time, the news of the prince's killing of pigs had spread throughout the capital.

On the side of the Tiger and Wolf Army, after Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda finished training, they chatted in the barracks.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed dozens of pigs, do you want to give us food?" Cheng Yanjin said, he couldn't help but drool, they are training here, but they can also eat meat, but they can only eat meat, not enough.

Thinking of dozens of pigs, the people of the entire East Palace can't eat them all, so it must be to reward them, the tiger and wolf army, right?

Niu Jinda rolled his eyes and said, "What you think is quite beautiful, it has been two days since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed the pig, and we have no movement here, obviously not for us to eat." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yanjin was suddenly a little lost, but he became more and more curious in his heart, there are so many pigs, and they are not for them to eat, who is it for?

Palace.

Li Yuan also heard the news that Li Yu killed the pig, and after hearing it, he was very strange.

"Someone, go and call the prince into the palace."

The prince killed the pig, this matter was too big in the capital, in Li Yuan's opinion, the impact on the prince was a little bad, if he couldn't figure out why Li Yu did this, he had to be mad.

After Li Yu got the order of the palace people, he entered the palace with a piece of bacon.

"Father, you asked your sons to enter the palace, but you want to ask your sons why they killed pigs?"

Li Yuan snorted, "It's good that you know, a prince, what to do when you kill so many pigs, it will make the people laugh." ”

Li Yu didn't care, and said, "Father, the son is going to make bacon." ”

"Bacon?"

"This is it." Li Yu took out a smoked black bacon, Tang Yuan saw this, and immediately pouted, "Can this still be eaten?" ”

"Of course you can eat it." Li Yu said, handing the bacon to the eunuch next to him, "Cut it." ”

The eunuch received the order, and after cutting the bacon, he saw that the inside of the bacon was very beautiful, which made people have a thirst for appetite.

"Father, this bacon can be stored for a long time, and it can be eaten when it is cut, if the army is marching and fighting, we can take this thing with us, we can avoid cooking for a long time on the way, saving time, that is the speed of the soldiers."

Li Yu said the reason why he made bacon and ham, not to satisfy his appetite, but to increase the speed of the march.

With this, the soldiers and horses can make a long journey without resting, so that a sudden attack will take the enemy by surprise.

After Li Yuan listened to Li Yu's words, his expression was shocked, he had fought for half his life, and naturally understood the importance of the speed of soldiers to the soldiers on one side.

If you can be fast, it will be equivalent to winning half of the first.

Suddenly, Li Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to make such food, since this is the case, then I will order people to make more, if there is a war, send it to the soldiers." ”

"With the support of my father, then there must be no problem in this matter."

After the father and son said this, Li Yuan suddenly wanted to taste the taste of bacon, Li Yu smiled, and then ordered someone to take it to the imperial dining room.

The taste of bacon is very fragrant, and the stir-fried dishes are even more fragrant, and after Li Yuan took a bite, he was full of praise.

"It's delicious, it's delicious......"

When the two were eating and chatting like this, a voice suddenly came, "Okay, the two of you opened a small stove, and you didn't even call me." ”

It was a woman's voice, three parts squeamish, three parts angry, and three parts angry.

After Li Yu heard this voice, he knew who it was, and now in the entire Tang Kingdom, there was no one else who dared to talk to them like this except for his sister Xiangxiang Princess Li Xiang.

Li Yu looked up and saw Li Xiang coming over, but as soon as she came over, Li Yu took a mouthful of meat and gave it to him, "Brother, don't I think about you?" ”

Li Xiang pursed her lips, she wanted not to eat it, but as soon as she smelled the fragrance, she couldn't help but open her mouth and bite down.
