Huo Gang has already killed a few sheep and a cow here, because it is winter, all the meat is placed in the cool room, and the outside is a natural refrigerator.

"In this way, you will bring a whole pig and bring it, and kill the pig today, and we will eat pork today." Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Chief...... This pig ...... Isn't it good if you eat it? Chef Ma hesitated for a moment before he spoke cautiously. In his opinion, people like the chief should eat beef, and meat like pork should not be eaten by the chief.

"Haha, okay, I know what you're thinking, in fact, pork is not cheap at all, you don't understand, pork is the real food, and it is a food that can make all people healthy! And the whole body of the pig is a treasure. Huo Gang said with a laugh.

Huo Gang's words made the three chefs stunned for a moment, but Chef Ma still bent down and said for the first time: "Yes, leader, then we will go now." ”

Most of the pigs, cattle and sheep were raised outside the city, but behind the Chief's Mansion, next to the stables of the Chief's Mansion, a small number of these domestic animals were raised, of which there was only one pig.

This pig is the largest of these pigs sent by the people, about 200 catties, this weight is not the largest in later generations, but it is already a big pig in this era.

Don't worry about killing pigs, Chef Ma directly found a butcher in the city, although this butcher has not killed pigs much, but he has obviously killed cattle and sheep many times, and he is already very skilled, not to mention that Huo Gang is commanding beside him.

First kill the pig, put all the pig's blood in a basin, then boil a large pot of hot water, and begin to remove the pig's hair, and when the pig's hair is completely removed, the pig has become white and fat, and then the pig is directly hung up.

At this time, not only Huo Gang was there, but when they heard the news, Wang Shan and Wu Ping also rushed over, of course, they were not here to eat meat, but to "persuade" Huo Gang, but as soon as they came in, Huo Gang directly assigned them a task.

"Wang Shan, you record it, and promote this news next year, this pig's whole body is a treasure." Huo Gang said directly.

"This ...... Be. The words of persuasion were directly blocked in his mouth, Wang Shan directly agreed, and Wu Ping simply stopped talking, they all knew Huo Gang too well.

Huo Gang pointed to the pig hair that had faded next to him, and then said, "Pig hair can be used to make a pig hair brush." ”

After the pig's internal organs were thrown out, Huo Gang pointed to the pig's internal organs and said: "The internal organs of the pig can be eaten, for ordinary people, they are all rare and delicious, at least compared to eating without meat, they are all delicious." ”

"Also, the small intestine of the pig, after cleaning, the pig's blood is poured into it, and then put it in the steamer to steam out, which is the blood sausage, which is also a rare delicacy."

"As for the pig's large intestine, that is, the fat intestine, clean it several times, after cleaning, with dogwood and so on, this is a rare delicacy!" Huo Gang was embarrassed to say that he liked to eat fat sausages in his previous life, and it was best to have a little smell, and fat sausages that did not smell at all were not fragrant.

"For example, pig blood, pig liver can replenish qi and blood, such as after a pregnant woman gives birth, eat some pig blood, pig liver is good, pig trotters and the like are cleaned, and the stewed soft rotten can replenish qi and blood."

"By the way, pig blood can also be used as an additive for pigments, and someone will study this by someone, so you can record it."

"And lard, after refining it, put it in a cool place, it will not be bad all year round, which is for ordinary people, they can eat oil all year round, and replenishing oil and water can make people more energetic, whether it is a soldier or a common person, the work is more powerful, and people are healthier." Huo Gang pointed to the lard in the pig's belly and said.

Hearing this, Wang Shan and Wu Ping hurriedly recorded that oil and water are very important to people, and later generations said that the food list was a little longevity, but in fact, there was no shortage of oil and water in later generations, but in ancient times, it was ...... In the era when there was no vegetable oil, human beings were extremely short of oil and water, and at this time, there would be no light and long-lived food.

In this era, eating more meat will lead to a long life.

Of course, there is another role of lard Huo Gang did not say, that is, pork can make nitroglycerin and nitroglycerin.

The specific method is actually very simple, lard plus caustic soda, that is, sodium hydroxide, that is, baking soda and hydrated lime can be easily obtained after treatment, and the latter Although the whole Dahan cannot achieve industrial alkali production, it has found relevant deposits, so it is not difficult to make it.

The lard is heated and then added to the caustic soda to separate the soap and glycerin.

Three parts nitric acid plus three parts sulfuric acid are then mixed with four parts glycerin to make a simplified version of nitroglycerin.

This thing...... It can be used to heal diseases, and of course it can also be used as explosives!

But now it makes no sense to say this, because there are too few pigs, although pigs have been bred a lot, but it still needs a certain amount of promotion, mainly for most people, the storage of pork is a big problem.

But this Huo Gang knows, it's good to make pickled pork, when he was a child, Huo Gang killed a pig every winter, and pickled pork can be eaten for a year, and it will hardly be bad.

The butcher found by Chef Ma is very skilled, and he also knows that he is working for the leader, so he is naturally very hardworking, and he has handled everything according to Huo Gang's instructions, and then under Huo Gang's command, Chef Ma began to remove all the meat on the bones, put the pure lean meat separately, and cut all the fat and thin pork into pieces, and then put them in a large pot.

Then the fire was lit and the oil was refined, and when the lard in the pot became more and more and more, and the meat inside became browned, the air was filled with a unique fragrance.

Huo Gang asked Chef Ma to take out a bowl of refined pork belly, the golden pork belly no longer has a greasy feeling, no seasoning, a little salt, everyone can smell a unique fragrance.

Huo Gang ate a piece, and when the familiar taste began to bloom in his taste buds, Huo Gang suddenly had an urge to cry, he had been in this world for so long, and what Huo Gang ate was not good, so he was a little better than ordinary people later.

But to be honest, in Huo Gang's opinion, the food of the Tang Dynasty is similar to the food in the United Kingdom in the future, all in all, it is difficult to explain.

Although it is fine enough, it is delicious, and it is really not delicious.

At least the Chinese food at this time has not really bloomed its charm, of course, it is not that there is no food at this time, but the food at this time is often not eaten by Huo Gang.

After eating a piece for all of them, Huo Gang looked at them and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Do you still think this pork is cheap? ”

Wang Shan and the others smiled embarrassedly, they knew at once whether it was delicious or not, at least they all thought it was better than beef and mutton...... Mutton is already a luxury for people in this era, although it has a smell, but in this era when meat can't be eaten, no one will pick on this kind of thing.

It's not that so many people in later generations think that the taste of mutton is innate, no, it's purely because there is no shortage of oil and water. If a person is born with boiled vegetables, and then boiled noodles, and eats black flour buns and the like, there is no oil and water at all, and you will feel bad when you see mutton? Stop it.

But mutton has some flavor, and beef is even more indescribable, although many people think that beef is eaten by nobles, but Huo Gang thinks that it is purely because beef can't be eaten that people think so.

This is reality, not a martial arts movie, just a person who enters the restaurant can say, Xiao Er, come to two catties of beef.

In ancient times, cattle could never be killed casually, and killing cattle casually was a crime in the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and the beef that could be eaten came from accidental death, or old death.

Most of them are old and dead, and they can't plow the land anymore, so they can only eat it, and you can imagine how old such beef is.

Compared with pork, which is very tender meat, which one is delicious, you can imagine.

In fact, from a scientific point of view, the smaller the animal meat, the more tender and nutritious it is.

"Okay, take out these fried meat scraps and make dumplings to eat."

"Then pour all the meat and the oil into a large urn." Huo Gang pointed to the refined oil and said.

Chef Ma processed these meats according to Huo Gang's method, and the large urn was also used in later generations, and there were also pottery in this era, which was fired out and had thick walls. Half of it is used for water, or something else.

After the lard and pickled pork were done, Huo Gang began to teach them the skills of stir-frying, which according to history, at least in the late Song Dynasty, because the economy of the Song Dynasty at that time was very developed, and the people's living materials were also greatly enriched, and when vegetable oil and animal oil began to increase, people had ordinary oil for stir-frying.

And at this time, Datang can't even eat enough rice, let alone oil and water, how can there be such an extravagant way of eating stir-frying.

When dishes with a fragrance that had never been felt before, ribs, etc., were brought to the table, almost everyone was frantically swallowing the saliva in their mouths, including chefs like Chef Ma.

"Okay, there are more dishes to cook today, you all stay to eat, and you have marked the way the lard and pork are preserved, and then you can pass it on." Huo Gang said seriously.

"Yes." Wang Shan and Wu Ping both nodded, "Chief, can mutton fat be kept like this?" ”

"Yes, yes, but there is too little oil on the sheep." Huo Gang thought for a while and said, "But it's also a way to preserve." ”
