"Chop this meat into squares, and then...", today Yang Er invited the envoy to the festival, Li Chen personally cooked, and commanded the chef to make a dish, braised pork.

The chef was skeptical about whether pork could be served. Pork is more fishy, the Tang Dynasty ate beef, mutton, goose meat, and fish, and pork was eaten less, on the one hand, because it was too fishy. The second is that the pigs are very dirty.

The fishy smell is good, the sheep is actually fishy, and what kind of muddy sheep is dead, you have to sprinkle a lot of seasonings to cover up the fishy smell. Although the pork is fishy, it can be delicious if you are willing to eat it. It's just that the pig is too dirty, which gives people a bad impression, and ****** because of the pig's dirty, it is forbidden to eat pork.

In fact, pigs are not dirty at all, mainly because people raise them illegally. Pigs give the impression of being dirty, probably because of the smell and the mud they are covered in. The smell is caused by humans, and you keep the pigs in such a small place, eating and drinking Lazar, can it not stink?

In the case of mud, it is a pig that will roll in the mud in order to suffocate the parasites on the skin. The same is true of buffalo.

Pigs are said to be stupid, but pigs are not stupid, and among mammals, pigs have to rank fourth in wisdom. He remembered that a teacher said, don't look down on pigs, there was once a girl who went to the pigsty to help raise pigs, what did she do for internship.

The pigsty was relatively clean, and the girl helped the pig to take a bath, and the pig kept arching her, and she thought that the pig was playing with her, but the old pig farmer saw it, and her soul was scattered, and she was hurriedly pulled out. There was a wall behind her, and the pig nearly arched her to death.

Well, having said so much, the Tang people still don't eat pork much, Li Chen has no ability or energy to correct the Tang people's cognition, and the only thing he can do is to make the pork delicious.

pork, until the Song Dynasty, was made by Su Dongpo, a big foodie. Before that, the nobles didn't eat, the poor gritted their teeth, they didn't have the knowledge, and they didn't have the ability to make it delicious.

In order to make braised pork, Li Chen has been preparing for a long time, in fact, he has already asked people to prepare pigs. It's not pork, it's pigs. He bought the half-sized pig and asked someone to castrate. He hadn't raised pigs, but he had heard. Pigs have to be castrated, so that they are easy to find fat, and the meat does not taste so fishy.

Some people criticize that Chinese love to ride geldings, which is actually similar to this principle. If you are castrated, it is easy to find fat, and people can march hard for a long time, but if a horse is like this, it is easy to lose fat, lose weight, and reduce physical strength. Castration, the horse is easier to control, and it is easy to find fat.

Why don't Westerners do this? This involves the different concepts of the use of cavalry in the East and the West, and it would be too long to continue.

Li Chen gave the pig to the gelding, and sure enough, the pig quickly became fat and big, and the meat was less fishy. Only then did he dare to offer treasures, he believed that if he could be famous for thousands of years, he would definitely be able to conquer the Tang people who did not eat pork.

First chop the meat into squares, blanch it first, then smear it with soy sauce, and then fry it, don't fry it for too long, take it out and rinse it with cold water immediately. ’

Then put the meat pieces in the pot, add this small packet and add sugar, first boil over high heat, then change to low heat and slowly simmer, control the heat by yourself, burn until the meat pieces are burned, and you can pinch it off. ’

Li Chen has never eaten Dongpo meat, at least he has never eaten authentic Dongpo meat, Dongpo meat looks like it has to be tied with straw, Li Chen doesn't know why it has to be tied with straw. He didn't teach the cooks how to use it, he just told them to cut the meat into square pieces and simmer it until it was cooked through. This is how to make braised pork, so I think it should be about the same.

The cook did it according to Li Chen's method, and Li Chen supervised, if he really wanted him to do it, he couldn't do it, he would watch it, he would eat, and if he really wanted to do it, there would be a problem.

The cook picked up the bag and sniffed it, but he didn't know what it was, and he choked, "It's just some spices." ''This can also be eaten?'' ''Don't you eat all the pepper?'' As soon as the cook thought about it, he threw the bag down, and Li Chen saw that it was okay and went out.

He didn't see it, and as soon as he went out, the cook opened the other bags that had not gone down, and wanted to know what was inside. In fact, even if he demolished it in front of Li Chen, Li Chen didn't mind. As early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, said that star anise can remove the fishy smell of meat, and cooks will be very rare in the past hundred years, in fact, he has little knowledge, and the circulation of information in the Tang Dynasty is not so convenient, so the chef will not know.

It should be mentioned here that Li Chen originally went to a Chinese medicine store to buy star anise. In modern times, Chinese medicine stores will also sell things such as star anise and five-spice powder, because such things can be used in medicine themselves. It's just that in these years, it seems that things like star anise are still used as spices and seasonings, but not as traditional Chinese medicine.

After turning around for a while, after watching Elysium, he returned to the kitchen, opened the stewpot, the aroma was permeating, Li Chen took the chopsticks and inserted a piece of meat, directly through the meat. Be careful to scoop up a piece, cut it into portions, and share it with a few cooks and helpers in the kitchen.

'It's delicious. Is this really pork? As soon as everyone ate it, they immediately praised it, which is simply a delicacy that only has in heaven. Just looking at the thick fat, oily and shiny, it makes people's appetite move, and the aroma, with chopsticks, a little force will break the meat, melt in the mouth, this is really...

'It's delicious. A cook had just finished praising and was about to go to the pot to fish, but the chef slapped him down, "It's going to die, it's for the guests." Don't serve it up yet. Eat late and do it again. ’

The braised pork was ready, Li Chen and the cook studied several other dishes, and Li Chen planned to make the famous pig-killing dish. The pig is really a farmer's treasure, and it is useful all over the body, can you point out that part of the pig is useless?

Probably not, let's not talk about pork, pig bones, pig skin, pig trotters, that can't be used, can't be eaten? The whole body of the pig can be eaten, not to mention the pig scalp, even the internal organs, but it has to be treated, if it is not handled well... Li Chen shuddered, for a while, he didn't eat the large intestine, because he once ate a large intestine, and it was very bitter... I'm sorry if you saw this during a meal.

In addition to the inside, the pig also has an appearance. In modern times, pigs are finely divided, and because they have to be ground meat, even the shaved skin is taken out and sold. There are also pig bristles on the outside, which can be used as toothbrushes.

Li Chen originally just wanted to eat braised pork, so he raised a few geldings, and when he killed the pigs, he saw them throw away the pig's internal organs, and then he remembered that pigs were farm treasures. If he studied it carefully and made the whole set of pig-killing dishes in advance, the people could have more meat to eat. It is not a small help to improve the lives of the people. This is a good thing for a long time.

I don't know what's going on. Li Chen was a little irritable, what do you want to discuss about killing pigs? It's nothing more than that the blood can't be left to flow, it must be collected, and when the time comes, it will be poured into the large intestine as a blood sausage, and what about the large intestine and pig lungs

Washing, if you can't wash it, it will be terrible. It's just washed and cleaned, and it's two dishes. Well, it's a bit of a hassle, how do you wash it to be clean?

I used to hear that cola is used to wash the large intestine. Where did Datang get Coke? There are also pig lungs, which are troublesome to clean, and if they are not cleaned, the pig lungs are full of mucus and cannot be eaten at all. I just hate that I haven't learned it before, or even seen it, and I can only consume more manpower for today's plan.

That's still a lot of manpower to solve, and the more troublesome thing is probably sauerkraut. The method is not difficult for him, the blood sausage is not only with sauerkraut to taste, with pork, or it is also very good to eat directly, his mother used to be very good at making sauerkraut, Li Chen has learned more or less two hands. The trouble is that the sauerkraut will not taste good until it is eaten in winter or autumn, and now it will have to wait, but it will be soon.

There is nothing to discuss when discussing pig killing dishes. In fact, he was worried about what happened to the banquet upstairs. It's not that he doesn't want to come forward, the question is why did he come forward, he only felt the class when he came to Datang, he was not a literati, just a businessman.

As a literati, it is easy to pirate two poems at will, but it is really difficult for him to explain them. Start learning now? This has not been more than ten years of hard work, how can you figure out the teacher.

As for attending as a businessman? In terms of his self-esteem, he really can't let go. I really don't want to attend to talk about people's identities. So I can only ask Yang Er, people are professional, and they know that they are high-level like Yang Er, they can't say that they are prostitutes, it's not so easy to kiss Fang Ze, many of them are selling their art but not their bodies.

They are more like courtesans, relying on their wrists and connections to get by, matching this, intermediary, and dealing with things that are not easy for others to handle. Naturally, the benefits cannot be less.

'How's it going?' It's getting late, the guests are gradually leaving, many people go to renew the stall, Yang Er doesn't stay overnight, there is no problem on the first and second floors, seeing Yang Er going downstairs to leave, Li Chen stepped forward and asked.

'I did what I could do, and the rest depends on Tian Envoy's handsomeness. Yang Er greeted many people for a long time, and he was also a little tired, shook his head, didn't say anything more, and left.

Li Chen's face was not good, he thought about it carefully, and sighed, now things are like this. Wang Tong can't count on it.

That day, he went to Wang Tong, he complained all the time, Shao Ze had to meddle in the affairs of Pengcheng regardless of his face, and directly sent the old pawn to act as a thug.

This made Li Chen resentful and very helpless. If this method doesn't work, Shao Ze is still a scoundrel, as long as he sends those old pawns to make a fuss two or three times in Paradise, don't do business. Those old pawns are much more difficult to deal with than the scoundrels or rangers. What's even more terrifying is that after one wave, there are still two waves, and thousands of people have to be guarded, how will he deal with it? When that day really comes, he would rather burn Bliss on fire than cheapen others.

'You, what do you say. Wang Tong was surprised, pointed at Li Chen with one hand, and opened his mouth widely, "I said, how about we create an opportunity to wipe out the Silver Sword Army?" ’
