Some officials watched His Majesty move his chopsticks, took a bite, chewed deliciously, and had a hint of a smile on his face, and they were a little impatient.

Especially the noble officials who didn't know that it was pork, looked at the blood sausage, sauerkraut, copper hot pot, and some ingredients in it, the small fire was churning, the aroma was wafting, and their index fingers moved.

After His Majesty tasted it, they dared to move their chopsticks, as if revealing a salivating gesture.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you waiting for, get off the chopsticks!" Luo Zhaoyun urged with a smile.

"Obey the order—" These officials also responded with a smile, feeling that His Majesty was kind and kind at this moment, unlike in the past, when he was meticulous and not angry and arrogant in the Jinluan Palace.

"Come on, colleagues, let's move chopsticks together!"

"Okay, this official tastes this."

"This brittle bone looks weird, I don't know what."

These officials greeted each other, politely, and moved their chopsticks to pick up the dishes they were interested in.

There are older people and there are younger officials, so they put down chopsticks separately, and the first choice is different, and it is almost the same with curiosity.

"Well, yes, yes, this dish tastes good."

"This meat is also quite fragrant!"

In an instant, the officials were full of praise and admiration for the dishes they had eaten, and then they began to taste each of them, all with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Is this the meat from Fanbang, it feels very special, but it's not beef, mutton and horse meat." Xin asked.

Many people shook their heads, unable to guess the origin of the meat.

However, some people whispered: "This seems to be pork, but the taste is not quite right, and there is no fishy smell." ”

"Pork, that kind of black pork?"

There is only one kind of black pig in the world, and many people have the appearance of a black pig in their minds, and they suddenly feel bad, one by one dumbfounded, a little dumbfounded, can black pork be eaten?

Even if it can be eaten, it is only eaten by the poor and untouchables!

Some Guan Longxun and noble officials suddenly changed their faces slightly, and their eyes looked at His Majesty, seeing that the emperor was eating very energetically, if it weren't for this, they would think that this was the emperor deliberately losing their face and humiliating the nobles.

But at this moment, even His Majesty is eating these dishes, doesn't His Majesty know?

"Minister, there is something to play!"

"Chen is going to play too."

There were Yushi and noble servants, who got up from the table, and then walked to the middle open space, knelt down and bowed, claiming to give advice.

Luo Zhaoyun stopped his chopsticks, his eyes swept the scene on the table, he had already guessed a few points, sneered in his heart, and asked: "When the Zhuqing family is feasting with the monarchs and ministers, they don't feel at ease to eat and drink, which spoils everyone's interest, what's the urgency, it must be played at this time, what do you usually do?" ”

Some courtiers listened to His Majesty's reprimands and already felt His Majesty's unhappiness, but there was a relatively straightforward character of the imperial history, and they still insisted on admonishing: "Your Majesty, the ministers are worried that Your Majesty has been deceived, these so-called delicacies, delicacies from the mountains and seas, are all fake, and they are made of black pork, pig offal, and ......."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the smell of black pork is difficult to hide, and it is not easy to raise, and the common people are still unwilling to slaughter and eat, not to mention the nobles, some people use this thing to confuse Your Majesty, their hearts can be punished!"

"Your Majesty, please be aware of this matter and thoroughly investigate ......"

Luo Zhaoyun put down his chopsticks, patted the case and shouted, "Enough." ”

The dozens of officials kneeling on the ground, as well as the people sitting at the front of the wine table, were somewhat nervous, after all, the king was angry, and he didn't know who was going to be unlucky.

"Let me ask you, did you notice that something was wrong with the first oral food just now, or did you feel that it was fishy?"

"This ..... Not really. A group of people who entered the admonition shook their heads and told the truth.

Luo Zhaoyun asked again: "What do you think of the taste, have you never eaten this dish, and it tastes delicious?" ”

"Well, the taste is passable." Some officials replied stubbornly.

"It's not just passable, it's a new Dahua food!" Luo Zhaoyun made the final decision, first defined pig killing dishes as new cuisines, which were judged from the taste and taste.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhaoyun looked at Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Shunde, Xiao Yu and others, and asked: "Political Affairs Hall, people from three provinces and six departments, above the second grade, think that the taste of these dishes should not be called 'food'?" ”

Fang Xuanling got up, stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are at least half of these eight dishes in one pot, which is very suitable for the appetite of the ministers, I have never eaten like this before, and I deserve the word food." ”

Wei Zheng's character was upright, and he also got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the taste is delicious, and the method is unique, although I have seen black pigs and eaten black pork before, but compared with this, it is really very different, and the gap is very big." Among them, I am afraid that there will be new practices and innovations, and if they can be popularized, they will benefit the society. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde is household department bowed down and said: "The minister agrees with Wei Zheng's words, this table of dishes is not bad, the minister has never eaten it, and I feel that this pot of dishes, when eaten, is not inferior to the taste of mutton and beef." ”

As these second-grade officials continue to praise, the faces of the third- and fourth-grade officials kneeling on the ground are getting worse and worse, and they seem to feel that everyone has a high degree of recognition of the new dishes, and they don't care whether it is black pork.

What's going on here? Could it be the pork of Fanbang?

Yes, it must be so, the meat of the Central Plains black pig is ashamed, this is a folk conclusion, even many ancient books record the same, only pork is not edible, since the pork on this table has no fishy smell, it must be from other varieties of the Western Regions.

A lot of people are starting to think like this!

At this time, Gao Shilian, who is also the secretary of the household department, stood up, bowed, and then said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, every dish on this table, the ministers have tasted it, and the taste is different, but it is very tasty, and there is no peculiar smell, which can indeed be called a delicacy." The minister wants to ask more, I don't know if this copper pot dish has a name? Even if this meat quality is really related to black pork, but it is different from the rumors, there is no fishy taste at all, and there is no discomfort when you eat it. ”

Gao Shilian's words resonated with most officials, if these dishes can be popularized among the people, the people can also eat them, and the pork, which was not eaten much before, will suddenly become delicious, and the quality of life of the people will be improved.

At present, the people usually can't eat meat, and the poor people in many places are like vegetables, skinny like firewood, barely enough to eat and wear, and their physique is very poor, and they need meat to replenish their bodies.
