The three of them looked at the canned meat on the table, and even Su Che was not afraid of the hot hand and wrapped it in a cloth and picked up one of the cans and looked closer, although he could see and smell that the mouth of this bottle was not only corked tightly, but also sealed with beeswax and gum, but it was too difficult to accept that it was just so simple to ensure that the food would not spoil for a long time.

"Whether it's canned meat or canned meat, it's just a name." Su Che put down the clay pot, clapped his hands, and said, "But...... How can you be sure that these cans of meat will really last for months or even a year without rotting? ”

Huang Dalang replied without thinking about it: "Just open it for inspection when the time comes!" ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard it, and first thought that this was right, saying that it was useless to say how long it could be held, and it had to be opened for a long time. Thinking about it again, Cao Zhizhou said angrily: "Ziying, do you dare to ask Su Lao to miss the trip to the north and wait in Huangzhou to test this can of meat?" ”

Huang Dalang smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Students don't dare to delay the boss's trip, the boss can bring a canned meat to the north, open a can after three months, open another can after half a year, and so on, which is easy to carry is also the advantage of canned meat." ”

Looking at the total size of twelve filled meat in front of him, he also saw Huang Dalang's thoughts, Su Che couldn't help nodding: "Sure enough, the old man believes you." It just so happened that the old man intended to return to Yingchuan, and now for the Huangzhou tea ceremony, he will also go to Bianliang to take a trip, and after March, the old man should be in Bianliang, if as you said, this can keep the meat from rotting in March, and the old man will sing all over Tokyo for you, how? ”

"It's great!" Huang Dalang was full of confidence at this time, but he rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, the students still have something to ask for." ”

"Come on!" Su Che was in a good mood, although the canned meat in front of him looked unconscious, but he felt that Huang Ziying, who was full of confidence in front of him, could be trusted, and whoever called him master was Zhu Lao Wei.

"I'm tired of Uncle Yao, take pen and ink to draw paper!" Huang Dalang said a word to Yao Bo, the housekeeper of the Yao family who was waiting on the side, and then said to Su Che: "The student wants to ask the old man to draw a portrait of Su Shi and Su Lao. ”

Su Che was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "What do you want your brother's portrait to do?" ”

"Students want to use it to make a ...... Signs. Huang Dalang thought about it for fear that he couldn't speak clearly, so he simply waited for Uncle Yao to send pen and ink and drawing paper and drew a figure on it. The figure is a lying rectangle, with a vertical circle painted on the top in the middle and a blank space written below, and then pointed to the vertical circle and said: "The student wants to print the portrait of Su Shi Su and Master Su here." ”

Su Che saw that Huang Dalang's design modeled on the old godmother was quite novel, and couldn't help asking, "What is the use of this sign?" ”

Huang Dalang thought about it, and simply added two lines of small characters on both sides of the three characters of Dongpo meat, which are: Huangzhou authentic, don't counterfeit! If counterfeiting harms people, it will be punished by God!

Then he said: "The students thought that if there was a portrait of Su Shi here, the younger generation would definitely not dare to make a mistake." ”

Looking at the sign designed by Huang Dalang, and the big curse released on the sign, the three of them fell into stunned again, and it took a long time for Cao Zhizhou to wake up first, clapping his hands and saying: "Yes, as soon as this thing comes out, there will inevitably be Xiao Xiao coveted, if he gets a recipe to imitate it, it doesn't hurt, I'm afraid that they will make fake products to harm the people, this method is good!" In the future, as long as it is the canned meat sold in our Huangzhou, it will be labeled like this, and the people will know the truth at a glance. ”

Su Che and Yao Zheng also nodded again and again when they thought about it, and felt that it was very reasonable, and it was not uncommon for fakes to harm people in the Great Song Dynasty.

Su Che was also straightforward, took a piece of drawing paper and sketched a portrait with only a few dozen strokes, but Huang Dalang looked dissatisfied, shook his head and said: "Boss, I'm afraid this is the appearance of Su Shi's old age, and the beard is too great to see the appearance clearly." The students remembered that Mr. Su Shi had only passed the age of confusion when he came to Huangzhou to take up his post, so it was better to ask Mr. Su Shi to draw a picture of Mr. Su Shi's appearance when he was young. ”

Su Che saw it himself, and also felt that Huang Dalang's words were reasonable, and when he started writing again, Huang Dalang did not forget to ask: "It's best to have a smiling face, after all, this Dongpo meat is going to enter the homes of ordinary people, and there is that ...... hat."

As one of the three Sus in later generations, although Su Che is strong in politics and history, as well as poetry, but his painter Danqing is also extremely good, at the request of Huang Dalang, a smiling, wearing a hat, with a short beard The image of a middle-aged Su Shi suddenly jumped on the paper.

Even Su Che took the sketch of the sign drawn by Huang Dalang, and drew a miniature version in the vertical circle blank, Su Che, who was over seventy years old, sat down after throwing the pen, and after taking a few breaths, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his big sleeve casually, hahaha laughed, but looked at the sky and said: "Dalang, what do you think?" ”

At this moment, everyone knew that the Dalang he called was not Huang Dalang, which also made Huang Dalang feel that his responsibility suddenly became heavy...... If you mess up this, you won't lose your own face.

Now that the big thing has been decided, Yao Zheng hurriedly gave Huang Dalang a look to help Su Che back to the main seat, and then asked Yao Bo to add a seat for Huang Dalang to sit with him at the last seat.

After Su Che drank a cup of pain, muddy tears welled up in the old eyes, and said: "Because of the Wutai poetry case, my brother was demoted to Huangzhou, and the old man was also demoted to Yunzhou...... Woooooo ”

This Su Che remembered his dead brother, who is qualified enough to persuade, even Cao Zhizhou is not qualified!

However, although Su Che is old, he is not dim, and after his emotions subside, he can remember what is going on, and began to ask about the fact that Huang Dalang bragged that he could sell Dongpo meat all over the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in three years, and he could make pork at the banquet within five years.

As mentioned above, in the Song Dynasty, like the Tang and Sui dynasties in the previous dynasty, beef was the most expensive, followed by mutton, and pork was cheap.

One of the reasons is that at this time, the domestic pig breeds in China are black pigs domesticated by wild boars, not to mention white pigs, even flower pigs are rare, and they have just begun to be domesticated in the Huguang generation, and the characteristics of black pigs are thick and hairy, and the meat is firm, and because the castration technology at this time is not mature (castrated piglets have a low survival rate), the smell of pork is also very strong, so the rich people do not like to eat, only the poor buy to improve their lives.

Speaking of the Song Dynasty to eat mutton is also from the royal popular customs, Song Zhenzong imperial kitchen slaughtered more than 350 sheep a day, Song Renzong slaughtered more than 280 sheep a day, Song Yingzong Dynasty reduced to 40 a day, to Shenzong although the introduction of pork consumption, but the imperial kitchen consumes "mutton 434,463 catties and 4 taels" a year, and pork only uses "4,131 catties", less than a fraction of mutton consumption.

Even, even when Su Dongpo was mixing in Tokyo, although he ate sheep every day until he was tired of it, and wrote a poem saying that "ten years of Beijing is tired of fat", but when he was sent to Huizhou under residential surveillance, he was still attracted by the killing of sheep by the official party once a month. As a criminal official, he was no longer qualified to eat the mutton supplied by the official party at that time, so he quietly got some mutton bones and went back to roast them to satisfy his hunger.

Therefore, the pork of the Song Dynasty is not the main meat of the scholar class, or pork is still low-grade meat, but in the ordinary people, pork is the staple food, "Tokyo Menghualu" said that in the late Northern Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of pigs were purchased by the traffickers from Sixiang and sent to Bianliang, Tokyo every day, and the pork vendors in the city were not counted, and there were full-time butchers responsible for slaughtering these pigs and sending meat to the tables of ordinary people.
