Chapter 181: Your Majesty, Listen to My Explanation (I) The Second Watch Has Arrived!

"A hundred days? Isn't that yet yet ripe? Li Erzheng chewed on the duck meat in a big gulp, and when he heard that the breeding period of this kind of duck was only one hundred days, he couldn't help asking: "Although I don't know much about farming, I know that it takes half a year or a year for a duck to grow up." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And you only raised them for 100 days and slaughtered them, do you not know that they will grow meat by raising them? And if the mother duck can still lay eggs, you can send it to the dinner plate before it grows up with your appetite, it's just... It's a bastard! ”

Li Er was not lightly angry, and even his face had become vaguely angry, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest grandson was still around, and Zhang Yi's performance today was not bad, he might have been pulled out to play the board by him.

"Your Majesty is angry!" The eldest grandson hurriedly patted Li Er's back, and then reprimanded Zhang Yi with his teeth and claws, and said, "Boy, why don't you hurry up and admit your mistake to Your Majesty?"

It's too greedy to the point where you're greedy! Tell this palace, is this the only roast duck you have? ”

Although the eldest grandson was angry, her mind was all on Li Er, but she naturally didn't think about Li Er's use of a hundred days of ducklings as ingredients.

After all, as Li Er said, as long as you are a farmer, you don't know that the maturity period of ducks takes more than half a year, and from the perspective of personal interests, even if you want to eat ducks, you can't use such duck meat.

You must know that there is a difference between one pound of duck meat and two pounds of duck meat, not to mention that there is not much food needed to raise ducks.

It can be said that the cost of raising a duck is extremely low!

That's right, as long as you wait a little longer, these ducks can not only grow meat, but also lay eggs, with Zhang Yi's cleverness, he should not be able to see the gap between the two.

Therefore, the eldest grandson thinks that the roast duck in front of him is nothing more than a few of the ducks that Zhang Yi wants to pat the two of them, so he selected a few from the ducklings, which is not a big deal!

After listening to the eldest grandson's words, Li Er also thought of this.

After all, Zhang Yi is not stupid, and he is also very smart, with his whole personality of wanting to get into the eyes of money, Li Er also thinks that these roast ducks should be caused by Zhang Yi's sycophancy.

Although I am still a little unhappy with this luxury, my face has improved a lot.

Zhang Yi didn't have such consciousness at all, and for Li Er and the eldest grandson's self-braining, his next sentence immediately slapped Li Er's anger in the face.

I saw Zhang Yi arch his hand towards Li Er, and then as if he didn't know the situation in front of him at all, he respectfully said to the eldest grandson: "Niangniang misunderstood!" If you use old duck to make roast duck, you can't make such a smooth taste! ”

While speaking, Zhang Yi held the duck skeleton on the plate in his hand and explained: "Because adult ducks are adults, the bones are very hard, and the meat will become relatively soft, which is not only difficult to chew, but also difficult to grasp the baking time.

However, a whooping duck like this one is different! Because they are ducklings, the bones are very tender, the meat is quite smooth, and the marinated taste is even more flavorful! ”

When he was explaining with relish, and he was very proud of inventing such a delicacy, Li Er couldn't help but get angry anymore.

The wine glass was 'snapped' by him, and it was immediately thrown to the ground by Li Er.

The porcelain pieces flew one after another, and the whole venue was immediately shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

"Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson was also taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed Li Er.

And the other princes, princesses, and even the guards and palace maids all resigned themselves to fear on their faces.

"Your Majesty, listen to the minister's explanation!" Zhang Yi was also shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't expect that Li Eryi's tantrum would have such a big aura.

However, some of him was only surprised, and immediately quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the result of using ducklings as ingredients has actually been carefully studied and deliberated by the ministers and the elders of Zhangjiazhuang, not only is it not extravagant and wasteful, but it is even beneficial to the country and the people!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yi say this, Li Er slightly suppressed the anger in his heart again, but his eyes were still staring at Zhang Yi to see how he explained.

You must know that Datang has now reached the brink of poverty no matter where it has gone through natural disasters and military disasters, and in such a situation, in his opinion, Zhang Yi's behavior of slaughtering ungrown ducklings just to satisfy his appetite is a sign of promoting unhealthy tendencies.

If this kind of sign cannot be stopped, once this kind of extravagance is formed in society, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Datang.

It is precisely because of this that Li Er is extremely angry at Zhang Yi's approach!

"Your Majesty, as you said, it takes half a year for a duck to grow, but in this half a year, the growth of the duck has changed with the continuous growth of time!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but take two steps back, avoiding Li Er's might, and explained: "Let's start with the growth stage of the duck!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yi picked up a small stone, drew a straight line on the ground, and said after marking three distances in front: "I divided this growth stage into three parts, which are the juvenile stage, the growth period and the maturity stage!" You see, Your Majesty, this short distance represents the growth time of the duck in its juvenile years! ”

Li Er fixed his eyes and saw that Zhang Yi's hand was pointing to the front of the distance, and according to Zhang Yi's explanation, he could also distinguish it very clearly, so he nodded in agreement, and then motioned for Zhang Yi to continue.

Zhang Yi said: "At this stage, the ducks eat less, but the growth is relatively fast, in about 20 days they can generally grow to three taels, and some can reach four taels!" And once they get through this stage, then they will usher in the golden period of their growth - the growth period!

This stage is a little longer, as marked by this line, it lasts for more than two months, but during this time their food will gradually increase, the same, their weight will also grow rapidly, and by the hundredth day or so, then such a duck will generally exceed three catties!

Of course, if we adopt the feeding method carefully researched by Zhangjiazhuang, we can make them weigh up to four catties! But after this stage, into the maturity period, duck food consumption will not be reduced, but their growth will become slow, it can be seen that this stage for duck input and output has been disproportionate, unless wait until the egg is laid, otherwise the previous benefits will all be consumed at this stage! ”
