Chapter 102: Blending

All I can say is...... A high-ranking princess like Li Lizhen, who often lives in the palace and doesn't understand the feelings of the people, certainly doesn't know about pork.

Because she may have never seen pork since she was a child, let alone a pig.

But today it is a rare opportunity.

"Your uncle is here today, so shall we make a meal of pork?"

"Good!"

The four little ones all said yes, and then Li Chong asked Li Li again, "Do you want to ...... Do you want to try it too? Raised by his own family."

It's really not that Li Zheng lied to her, many people are prejudiced against ancient pigs, but in fact, pigs can still be eaten.

For example, in "Mulan Ci", there is a sentence of sharpening knives to pigs and sheep.

Your sister has been fighting outside for twelve years, and when she comes back, you give her fishy, smelly, and untasty pigs?

That's obviously impossible.

Bai Juyi also wrote in "On March 5 of the second year, Zhai Bi Kaisu was a food puppet and gave his wife Hongnong Junjun", "Remembering the beginning of the same prison, the family was poor and the chaff was dregs. Why cook pigs and sheep if this is the case?"

Bai Juyi's good friend Yuan Zhen also wrote, "The village sacrifices at four o'clock, killing all the chickens and dolphins."

It can be seen that the pork from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties can not only be eaten, but even eaten only during major festivals.

Because pigs are really not easy to take care of, even more difficult to take care of than sheep, and they have to be castrated, and if they are infected during castration, a small pig may be scrapped.

Suffice it to say, the cost of raising one pig can sometimes be higher than the cost of raising a hundred sheep.

Then why did the ancients still raise it?

In fact, some things can be seen from some agricultural books.

Because pigs eat feces, pigs also excrete manure, so that they can be fertilized, which is the top farm fertilizer.

And it doesn't waste any nutrients.

Of course!

Li Chong raised it at home, so he definitely didn't need to deliberately let the pigs eat.

And it is said that pigs eat feces because they suffer from pica, have worms on their bodies, or lack trace elements.

Anyway, whatever......

When Li Zhong said this.

Li Lizhi really didn't seem to understand anything.

He also said, "Pork, is it delicious?"

As for the slaves and maids in the palace, Li Chong looked at their appearances and didn't seem to understand much.

In fact, if you want to eat Datang's pig, you may not be able to eat it.

Because it's so hard to find a pig compared to the sheep that can be found everywhere in and out of the city.

After all, since the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, people can't eat enough, and you still raise pigs.

Li Chong also saw that the price of grain has not been too high in recent years, so he raised more than a dozen.

Anyway, there are also people to take care of the vegetable garden of the new house in the south of Chang'an City.

"It's delicious, you'll know if you've eaten it."

The four concubines recalled, as if they were also deceived by their own Langjun in this way.

But......

As long as you don't think about pork cheap, indeed!

This pork is indeed better than mutton.

After all......

Lang Jun: When he makes it, he will put honey and sugar very luxuriously.

But I'm afraid it's too late to do it now.

I can only wait until tonight, maybe I can eat.

Soon......

A slave put on a hat and rode on a horse, and went to report to the steward of the vegetable garden in the south of the city, and asked him to arrange for the pork to be slaughtered and delivered by the afternoon.

……

In an unfamiliar environment, the key is that there are so many people watching.

This more or less made the young Li Zhi a little uncomfortable.

And in order not to make him feel uncomfortable, Li Chong simply let everyone disperse, leaving the four little ones to play with Li Zhi.

Of course!

Li Zhong and Li Lizhen are also there.

In addition, there were some slaves and maids standing guard around them.

"What's the best thing to play?"

Li Zhong only pondered for a moment, and then came up with a game of throwing sandbags.

The four little ones haven't actually played this game, but the rules, as long as you say it once, basically understand.

In order not to bully the five people, Li Chong will also be on a team with Li Li, and the remaining five of them will be on a team.

Not for a while.

The four little ones went crazy, and some people also told Li Chong that this sandbag hurt a little because it was filled with sand and thrown on the body.

Li Chong felt that it was not interesting if it didn't hurt.

In fact, playing with sandbags is to play with this feeling of pain and happiness.

Only when it hurts, you will hide.

Only when it hurts, when you receive it, you will feel very refreshed.

Of course!

Having said that, next, Li Chong still made people quickly change to paper.

It's also become easier to catch.

Li Zhi was still a little wooden at the beginning.

Whether it's the action or the input of the game, it seems to be half a beat slower than the others.

But then, as everyone's movements became larger and more excited, his movements slowly let go.

From standing like a pillar at the beginning, to running with others, to being smashed to the end of the game early, and squatting on the side to watch others play, the pity on his face.

When it was time to throw it on the other side, he, as the one who threw it, immediately began to exert himself.

Li Chong naturally tried his best.

And......

He found the paper boring, and he asked to change back to the sandbag he had at the beginning.

With the sandbags shuttling back and forth, Li Chong finally put a little pressure, otherwise, if he used paper balls, Li Chong felt that he could resurrect Li Lizhi infinitely.

Li Lizhi can't help it, she is dressed today, so she is not suitable for playing this game.

The shoes are still upturned and cloudy.

It's good not to fall down on your skirt.

Li Chong also tried to hold her, after all, relatively speaking, Li Li's quality is still quite light, but in this way, he is more likely to be thrown off by the five little ones.

When he ends, Li Lizhen will not be far from the end.

"Eh, I'm hiding!"

"Come on, throw me!"

In the end, Li Chong alone made the five little ones so angry that they jumped to their feet.

And to make it easier for them to throw themselves off the field.

Lee also allowed them to attack from four directions and could pass sandbags.

This makes the whole sandbag throwing process even more intense.

And......

Li Zhi also has more opportunities to get involved.

It wasn't until later that Li Chong sold a flaw slightly and was thrown by Li Zhi.

The little guy was finally so excited that his hands trembled.

"Oh, win, win!"

was surrounded by four small people and high-fived, Li Zhi's whole face was red.

Speaking of which......

Of the five, he was the oldest.

"I'm tired of not playing!"

Li Zhong sat down, took the tea from the slave's hand, and poured a mouthful.

"Aye, you can't be fooled, it's time for us to do the next."

Someone tugged at Li's sleeve.

I don't know who said it again, "A-Niang, you are the same."

Then Li Lizhen felt full of confidence.

Already standing off the line, ready to throw.

"Come on!"

She said.

However, she is the most dish.
