"What's that?"

At this time, he was in the palace, and Ying Zheng was the lord of Great Qin.

on their own turf.

I still don't believe it, what's the hard thing to do?

"Beef!"

Xiao Zhengtai blinked and looked at Ying Zheng.

In later generations, beef was not a rare thing, and some butcher shops and supermarkets sold it.

But not in Daqin, because cattle are the main labor, one less is equivalent to a lot less harvest.

So, here, cattle have become protected animals, and no one is allowed to slaughter them without permission, let alone sell them!

Since he came here, he has never eaten beef, let alone hot pot, and his saliva has flowed two miles out!

"You said you need beef for hot pot?"

Sure enough, Ying Zheng frowned immediately after hearing these two words.

Not slaughtering cultivated cattle without permission has been written into the law, Yingzheng is the lord of Great Qin, is the leader of Great Qin, must be strictly observed, set an example!

"Well, beef is best in hot pot, if you really don't have it, butter is fine!"

After seeing Ying Zheng's expression, Xiao Zhengtai had no choice but to retreat.

Beef can be replaced with mutton, but not at the bottom of the pot.

That thing really doesn't smell like butter!

"No need, let's eat beef hot pot ...... today!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and Jingfu immediately stepped forward to listen to the order, "Tell the imperial dining room to prepare beef!" ”

"Huh? Does it really work? According to Qin's law, isn't it forbidden to kill cattle? ”

"That's right! I didn't say I was going to kill the cow! ”

"And ...... you?"

Xiao Zhengtai pointed to Jingfu, who had already been ordered to run out of the door.

"Qin Lu said that no one is allowed to slaughter cattle without permission, but there is a second half of the sentence, if you are old, disabled, or die unexpectedly, after reporting to the government, you are also allowed to slaughter!"

Ying Zheng stroked his beard and glanced at him with a smile.

Good guy, Yingzheng is taking the lead in exploiting loopholes.

Later generations heard that Cheng always committed suicide by biting the Jin family's cow, but he didn't expect that the fight would start from Yingzheng!

It seems that the rules and regulations of the law are set for the common people, and the royal family and nobles still do whatever they want!

"Then if anyone wants to eat beef one day, just create an accident!"

"Haha, that's no way, you can't do it all right, the cow is raised when it's old, and you have to dig a grave when you die, right?"

"That's right!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded.

In this era, there was a shortage of food, and there was almost no surplus food in the people's homes, and the meals were all corn and simple boiled vegetables.

Mutton is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.

The pork has not been castrated, and the smell is very strong.

If the cattle are not allowed to eat the dead and wounded, the people will have no chance to open meat!

Moreover, a cow cannot be used for a lifetime, there will always be a time when you are old and can not plow the land, and the fertility of the ploughing cattle is not strong, resulting in high prices, ordinary people still have to rely on the money from the old cattle to sell meat, and then subsidize a little to buy new ploughing cattle!

Thinking about it this way, this regulation is still quite humane, if it is really one-size-fits-all, it is still the people who complain!

While the two were chatting, King Bock had already returned, holding a tray full of two large plates of beef!

"Alas......! Poor cow, you are going to die an unexpected death! ”

Xiao Zhengtai shook his head in feigned regret.

He said no, but his body honestly reached out to catch the beef.

Staring at the beef on the plate, Xiao Zhengtai's gluttonous saliva almost flowed out!

"Jingfu, go and help me find some red-hot carbon, and another copper tripod, not too thick!"

"Yes!"

"Father, mother, you wait here, I'll go back and get the secret weapon!"

After Gyeongbok left, Xiao Zhengtai also ran out.

If you want to stir-fry a perfect hot pot base, in addition to butter, chili is definitely the soul.

If there is no hot pot with chili peppers, then it is not called hot pot!

The backpack given to him by the system is like a Qiankun bag, all the reward things are packed in it by him, and he can take them wherever he goes!

After a while, the original imperial meal was taken away, the charcoal fire and the copper tripod were supported, and Xiao Zhengtai also ran back with his little short legs and started his performance.

Boil the butter first, then add the chili pepper, put all kinds of spices, and boil the water for a while to open the shabu!

Ying Zheng and Lian'er have been sitting on the side and staring at the little guy's movements, and after a while, Xiao Zhengtai finally showed a satisfied smile!

"Hmmm! Fragrant! That's the smell! ”

The heat rose up, and Xiao Zhengtai took two sharp breaths, and the familiar taste almost brought tears to his eyes.

Pick up the beef slices and pour them into the copper tripod with a 'bang'.

"Isn't this just antique? How can it be called hot pot with beef? ”

Ying Zheng pointed to the copper tripod and asked.

Antiques have been around for a long time.

It comes with a gurgling sound when the ingredients are poured into the water!

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is boiled in clear water, and it is only the poor families who eat like this!

"Father, come and taste it, this taste is different from antique soup?"

Xiao Zheng is too lazy to distinguish it, and he will know if he tastes it differently.

Don't look at the cooking skills of the cooks in the imperial dining room, the knife skills are good!

The beef slices are thinly sliced, and you can eat them after a few seconds of blanching them in the hot soup base!

The only regret is that there is no sesame paste, Xiao Zhengtai asked for a few seasonings in the imperial dining room, plus his own existing ones, barely ready to use!

"Good! Lian'er, let's try it too! ”

Seeing that Xiao Zhengtai was enjoying eating, Ying Zheng also came to the case, picked up his chopsticks, learned from Xiao Zhengtai's appearance, and sandwiched a piece of beef into the copper tripod.

Dip some ingredients and put it in your mouth.

"Huh?"

When the meat slice is entered, the spicy feeling of the base immediately fills the mouth, followed by the smooth and tender feeling of the beef.

Together, the two are a perfect match!

"Delicious! Delicious! I never thought that antique soup could be so delicious! ”

After a belly, Ying Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.

"Father, I've already said it, this is called hot pot, not antique soup, the two are not the same grade at all, okay?"

Xiao Zhengtai stuffed beef in his mouth and kept rolling his eyes at him.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, shocked Yingzheng with hot pot, and rewarded with a high-end recipe! 】

Yo!

And a windfall?

He didn't do it on purpose this time.

I just don't want to lose my belly!

It seems that it's right to follow Yingzheng back to the palace, and the rewards are constantly exploding!

There are rewards for eating any hot pot, but if you arrange them according to the recipes of later generations, won't the rewards be directly full?

"The cooking method is almost the same, is there such a big difference between the two with the addition of butter?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously while stuffing slices of meat into his mouth.

"Butter is only part of it, and part of it is chili pepper!"

Xiao Zhengtai held the chopsticks, flipped through the copper tripod a few times, and found a piece of red dried chili.

This thing was not introduced to the interior from the Americas until the Ming Dynasty, and people in this era have never tasted spicy!

Ying Zheng, who tasted chili peppers for the first time, was addicted.

Jingfu on the side held a handkerchief and kept wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead!

There is no one who eats spicy hot pot in the summer!
