Chapter 17: The Pit, It's a Wild Boar!
Compared with China 1,400 years later, the living conditions that this Datang can provide to wild boars are too generous.
Like what kind of smog, deforestation and opening up fields, bombing mountains and filling roads...... The endless destruction of the environment has caused a great deal of damage to the survival of those wild animals.
In addition to those primeval forests or nature reserves, wild boars can be found, that is the so-called wild boar sold on the surface, in fact, they are all considered domesticated, compared to the wild boar, whether it is meat quality or taste, that is not half a star.
"Brother Huang, this is the pig used in our palace to reward the palace maids and eunuchs?"
Looking at the wild boar with four hooves and claws and neck tied on the stone platform from a distance, Li Yuanba swallowed his saliva with some difficulty and asked.
"Woo, this ......" Li Shimin didn't know what was going on, for everything in the palace, except for what he thought he should know, the others had never asked.
Liu Sanshui is a good fellow. Zhi, after all, he has been by Li Shimin's side for so many years, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings.
He hurriedly took two steps forward and replied respectfully: "Fourth prince of Qiqi, this kind of wild boar lives in the mountains and jungles, and the meat quality is more delicious than those ordinary domestic pigs. Therefore, the queen mother specially told people to prepare these pigs, in order to be different. ”
"That's it!" Li Yuanba nodded when he heard this, but it was not difficult to see from his constantly flickering eyes that this thing must have some kind of ghost in his heart.
……
At this moment, next to the stone platforms, there were several men with five big and three thick, some of them pressed the hooves and claws of the wild boars with their hands, and some were holding a sharp knife with ox ears, gesturing back and forth on the neck of the wild boar.
And on a small platform not far from the stone platform, there stood a young woman wearing the uniform of a chef with a solemn expression on her face.
Looking closely, this young woman has a long figure, a delicate body, and although her face is not stunning, her wheat-colored skin and delicate appearance with green silk are quite capable.
The female officer who followed Li Shimin and the others into the backyard hurriedly ran over after seeing the young woman standing on the small platform.
After a whisper, the female officer led the young woman to the crowd.
"Wang Ran, the slave maid and the head of the food bureau, has seen Her Royal Highness the princess, the two adults, and the father-in-law Liu!" The young woman of Naming bowed to the depths of the crowd, and the number of greetings was divided into priorities, and she greeted all the people.
At this moment, the little girl was looking at the seven or eight wild boars on the stone platform with curiosity on her face, where would she care about the female officer in front of her, she just waved her hand indifferently and did not speak.
But just such an action made this Wang Ran embarrassed, whether he got up or not, he didn't get up.
"This little girl, in the end, is a child's heart!" Seeing this, Li Yuanba shook his head and said to Wang Ran: "Get up!" ”
Wang Ran cast a grateful look at Li Yuanba, stood up, and asked cautiously, "My lord, is this...... Is this boar still killed? ”
Wang Ran's concerns are not wrong, she is afraid that this bloody scene will scare Princess Gaoyang, after all, this is a princess, she has been high since she was a child, she is clothed and fed, where have you ever seen a bloody scene?
If she frightens the princess, she won't have enough of a hundred heads!
"Well, so be it, you wait a minute!" When Li Yuanba said this, he turned his head to Princess Gaoyang and said, "Girl, uncle will give you one last chance!" If you're scared, just go outside and wait, how about that? ”
"Fourth uncle, you really underestimate me! Last time I went out hunting with my father, I also followed my third brother to shoot two sika deer! ”
Hearing Li Yuanba's obviously disdainful tone, Princess Gao Yang immediately shouted dissatisfied.
Li Shimin has been fighting horses for half his life, and after ascending to the throne, he often thinks of the previous battlefields, in order to kill this mentality, I don't know which plaything gave Li Shimin an idea, that is, hunting.
Not to mention, this kind of movement that combines speed, eyesight, and force really stimulated Li Shimin's blood-boiling fighting spirit.
Therefore, in addition to some regular large-scale hunts every year, Li Shimin will also hold some small-scale hunting from time to time, and he especially likes to call his sons and daughters, as well as the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, to carry out the so-called hunting competition, and the final winner of each hunting competition will be rewarded by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
It seems that Princess Gaoyang said that she shot two sika deer, and it should be in this kind of hunting competition.
"Oh? I didn't think you're still a marksman? Li Yuanba laughed at Princess Gaoyang twice, and laughed.
"Humph!" The little girl raised her head high, looking arrogant, but even more delicate.
"My lord, the hour is almost up!"
Just when Li Yuanba was laughing at Princess Gaoyang, a man with five big and three rough men came over and said respectfully to Wang Ran.
Wang Ran turned his head and glanced at Li Yuanba and the others, and found that they had no objections, so he nodded to them, waved his jade hand lightly, and said solemnly: "Let's start!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
The man replied respectfully, returned to the edge of the stone platform, and shouted, "Brothers,. Guy Le~~~"
This man is a typical Shaanxi person, and his voice is very sharp.
"Hey, hey, hey~~~"
Every man who pressed the wild boar's leg on the edge of the stone platform shouted with red faces.
Suddenly, the man standing in front of the stone platform on the left side of the stone platform picked up a stick that was thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and when it was rounded, he hit it fiercely behind the ears of the wild boar.
"Wow~~~"
All the boars that were attacked in the back of the head howled in misery, and one or two even knocked out outright, but many more began to struggle violently.
"Bang dang, bang dang~~~"
"Wow~~~"
The wild boars were strong, and although they were tied with hooves and paws, and there were people on them, they rose up in the face of the threat of death, and they decided to put the last hand.
The sound of the stone platform where their strong bodies swayed, mixed with the heart-rending howls, made people's eardrums ache.
"What's it called! Knock~~~" The man from before roared again, and the stick in his hand circled again and fell down fiercely.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, the unexpected happened.
A fat and strong guy in the corner, obviously different from the other wild boars, suddenly broke free from the suppression of those men, and the rope that bound its four hooves was also broken in an instant.
"Whew!!"
The wild boar scurried down from the stone platform, and looked viciously at the man who had just thrown the stick behind his ear, and the fangs that were already protruding from the corners of his mouth flashed coldly, as if he was about to rush forward at any moment.
