Chapter 33 The people live on food

A few days have passed, the princess moved out of the palace as she wished, although it is also surrounded by heavy guards in the manor, but it is a little more quiet, in addition to the two couples, many friends who have not seen each other for a long time also came to visit, the princess's complexion is getting better and better, the imperial doctor also said that this shows that the princess's body has gradually improved, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian are also relieved when they hear the news.

Today is the opening day of Mickey's gold, silver and bronze restaurants, and Brother Liang has also prepared pork early, just waiting for the order from the satisfied side.

At the door of Mickey's Copper Restaurant, the news of the wind to eat and drink for free today has long been released, and at this time the door is surrounded by a sea of people, and the person who walked out of the house said to the people outside the door: "Everyone, from today the Mickey Copper Restaurant will open, although today is only a free tasting, but the price is written in the house, everyone thinks it is suitable to come!" ”

After saying that, he opened the door and let the guests in, and a group of people poured into the restaurant, only to see buckets of hot food and plates and chopsticks in the main hall of the lobby.

Everyone was a little puzzled when they saw this situation, and the shopkeeper on the side hurriedly explained: "Guests, please take the food by yourself, but remember to eat it all and don't take it out, otherwise you will be blacklisted by the store!" ”

Everyone didn't care, and when they heard that they could eat as much as they wanted, they all rushed to the meat bucket with attractive color, and the shopkeeper looked at the Zhengxiangye who everyone ate and said: "This store will also operate like this in the future, but you have to pay money, 100 Wen per person, if it is a child and the elderly, you can eat as much as you want, in addition to not taking out, you can eat as much as you want!" ”

Everyone ate it fragrantly, and when they heard that it cost one hundred wen per person, they also felt that it was a bit expensive, but when they thought that the meat here could be eaten casually, it seemed to be quite cost-effective, and a scholar who looked like Si Sven was eating with a mouth full of oil at this time raised his hand and asked, "What kind of meat is this?" It seems that beef and mutton are not this taste! But it's even better than the beef and lamb I've eaten before! ”

The farmer who came with him smiled and said, "Sun Xiucai, have you ever eaten beef and mutton?" I don't know, don't talk big! ”

Sun Xiucai's face flushed, "It's Wang Ba who talks big, and Ben Xiucai has a reputation for eating some beef, what's wrong!" ”

The farmer ignored him, and then took a big bite of the meat, "I haven't eaten it, but this meat is good, and I have saved enough money to bring the two of my family with me another day, and I have to starve him for three days and three nights before I come!" ”

The bare-armed man at the same table also said: "But it's good, this meat should be pork, but I don't know how the shopkeeper handles it, and it's a mess." No, the taste is even better than Yufengzhai's beef! ”

Hearing this, the farmer chewed the meat and said in surprise: "Big brother, you have also eaten Yufeng Zhai, I will eat more when you say this!" ”

Sun Xiucai looked at the attractive piece of meat but it was difficult to put down the chopsticks, "Pork?" ”

The bare-armed man also smiled when he saw that Xiucai like this, and the meat chewing in his mouth was even sweeter.

The shopkeeper greeted everyone, and the third floor was full, "Don't worry, let's sit down when someone leaves, if you don't mind, you can stand and eat, but remember not to take out, whether it is today or in the future, we have enough meat and vegetables, even if it is winter, we can ensure that there are green vegetables!" ”

The stunned Sun Xiucai walked to the shopkeeper's side and asked, "Shopkeeper, I heard that this is pork, do you tell me it's true?" ”

The shopkeeper was also a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there were still masters who could see it at a glance, but he didn't dare to deceive and said: "That's right, you listen to me, this meat is pork, and it was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to raise it, and there is no fishy smell, and you know that I am not lying after eating it!" ”

Sun Xiucai still couldn't believe it, and said with some anger: "Since it's pork, why didn't you tell me earlier, how can I eat such a cheap thing as a scholar." ”

The shopkeeper didn't react, but he walked down from the upper floor and said, "Why is it a cheap thing!" Pork is disliked because it has a fishy smell, but after this fishy smell is removed, it is delicious, whether it is a scholar, a farmer or a businessman, there must be very few opportunities to eat meat all year round, cattle should be kept to plough the field, the growth and size of sheep are too small, after the fishy smell of this pig is removed, it is also brought with simple feeding, heavy enough, how is it a cheap thing! ”

Sun Xiucai didn't know how to defend himself, but he still angrily pointed at the heart and the shopkeeper, and the bare-armed man also clapped his hands and smiled: "The little brother is right, they all say that the people take food as the sky, if you poor and sour Xiucai look down on this pork and leave obediently, don't make everyone unhappy." ”

Sun Xiucai only saw the eyes of the other people around him at this time, these peasant guards all looked at him with angry eyes, after all, this meat tastes so delicious, and the price is not too expensive, why let this poor and sour Xiucai's words come.

Whether it is pork or beef, the meat that can be eaten by the people is really good meat.

Sun Xiucai brushed his sleeves away, and he didn't know if he would regret not eating for free today, maybe he might come to taste it out of his own pocket in a few days.

Satisfied to see everyone back to the atmosphere of grabbing meat to eat, but also said the business of today's opening, "Since you have eaten today's dishes will naturally have a rating in your heart, we hope that you can tell your friends around you, just tell the truth, whether it is to tell the owner of the housekeeper, or to tell the relatives who are farming at home, in short, I hope you can help us promote this small store." ”

Everyone nodded yes, but in fact, no one knows whether they will do what they say, and everyone who is nodding their heads will speak again, "In Qingyi Fang and Zi'an Fang, there is also our Mickey Silver Restaurant Mickey Gold Restaurant to open tomorrow, Mickey Silver Restaurant is the same as ordinary restaurants, but the price is a few points cheaper, and the taste is a few points better, presumably everyone can also know through the dishes of Mickey Copper Restaurant, our price and taste are excellent!" Mickey Gold Restaurant does not need everyone to promote, Mickey Gold Restaurant only accepts reservations, which we have advertised internally, if everyone wants to eat, you must set a seat and menu at least two hours in advance! ”

Mickey's Restaurant is in full swing, and the issue of pork is debated in the court, and the rotten people still think that pork is a cheap thing, but the people who really care about the people have already tasted the taste of pork.

Wei Zheng is like this, when a group of old ministers criticized the prince, Wei Zheng bowed his head and was grateful, and bowed to Li Chengqian in front of Li Shimin, which made the group of old rotten people very embarrassed.

Li Shimin was also surprised, "What does Zheng Guogong mean by this, if the prince has anything wrong, just say it directly, why bother my son." ”

Li Chengqian was also a little frightened, he hadn't taken this group of old decay seriously, but seeing Wei Zheng, who had always been cold to him, Li Chengqian panicked, and cursed in his heart, he had to use his own name, although he also ate the pork himself, but he didn't expect it to make such a big fuss.

"Why should Zheng Guogong be like this, just admit his mistake." Li Chengqian helped Wei Zheng up, a little helpless.

The ministers behind him were indeed very happy, although Wei Zheng has always been known for his outspokenness, but no one knows what he is like in his heart, every time something finds him on his head, he ignores it. When encountering things he is not used to, and no matter how many people are involved behind him, he is always outspoken.

At this time, Wei Zheng was like this, after being helped up by Li Chengqian, he turned around and pointed at the group of old and decrepit people, and scolded angrily: "Rotten! You group of people will only make Datang gradually decline, and only people like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can revitalize Datang! ”

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, Li Shimin's eyes were a little more suspicious, and the faces of the ministers were also changeable.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Why did Zheng Guogong say this, please explain it!" ”

Wei Zheng straightened his sleeves, walked to Li Chengqian's side and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his subordinates to improve the breeding method of pigs, and through some means to make pork not smell fishy, these ministers have already found out, and please take a look at it!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a book of recitals from his sleeve, Li Shimin took the recitals and took a general look at them, and found that there was nothing new, and he already knew it, so he nodded and motioned for Wei Zheng to continue.

Wei Zheng was also unambiguous, and then said: "Your Highness still remembers the Weishui Alliance!" ”

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, the court was instantly quiet, Li Chengqian couldn't help but stay away from Wei Zheng a little, but Li Shimin's eyes were a little more fierce, "If you have something to say, don't talk about it!" ”

Wei Zheng knew that Li Shimin didn't like to hear about these old things, but since he decided to do so, he would continue to do it in the past, "The minister knows that the matter of the Weishui Alliance is taboo, but if we can't face the shame of the past, how can we wash it off, the Turkic people are physically stronger than our Tang soldiers, and some people even say that one Turkic soldier has resisted ten Tang soldiers, no matter how true or false this statement is, but the Turkic body is indeed stronger than us!" ”

After a pause, Wei Zheng said again: "This is mainly because the grain of the Turks was robbed and given to them by our Datang, while they themselves only raised cattle and sheep, and they had meat to eat. Our soldiers in Datang can't eat meat a few times a year, not to mention the people of Datang, water can carry boats, and boats can also be overturned. If the water is stable and deep enough, then the boat can move faster and faster, and the hull can become more and more powerful! ”

Li Shimin understood what Wei Zheng meant, and hurriedly asked Li Chengqian: "You can really get rid of the smell of raising pigs with this method?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and didn't speak, but Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has already tasted this pork, and there is indeed no commotion." It tastes good and delicious, and Wechen suggests that he should eat pork from the royal family to set an example. ”

Li Chengqian also said embarrassedly: "Yes, father, the son has not eaten this pork less recently, it is very delicious, and there is no fishy taste." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and was about to make an order, but Wei Zheng said: "Emperor Qi, Prince Qi, the old minister still has a reluctant request, I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will be fulfilled." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Zheng Guogong, please speak, why do you have to act like this." ”

Wei Zheng then spoke, "Please also ask Your Highness to make the breeding method of this pig public, so that the people can eat this cheap meat!" ”

Li Chengqian's little eyes were still rolling, and Li Shimin had already made up his mind, "This matter is agreed, and it is so decided." ”
