Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 349
Ganjingzhuang.

Li Qinzai and Li Sujie squatted in the backyard, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

In front of them lay a cow, a living cow.

Li Sujie's hands and feet trembled, and he looked embarrassed: "Sir, is this not good?"

Li Qinzai was moved with emotion: "There is nothing wrong with it. Don't you always say that the disciples will do their best for you? Now, let's do the work."

Li Sujie said with an ugly face: "But this matter... I really dare not do it."

Li Qinzai said contemptuously: "You and I went to Baekje, participated in the war to destroy the Japanese country, and saw so many dead people that you dare not even kill a cow?"

"Sir, cows are used to plow the land..."

"But I have money."

"Sir, if the imperial censor finds out, the disciple will be scolded by the emperor."

"You just accidentally broke the cow, it's a big deal."

"Sir, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen..."

"In order to eat beef, we don't have to be gentlemen. It's good to be a butcher once in a while. Feel your conscience, don't you want to eat beef?"

Li Sujie hesitated to speak, then sighed heavily: "...Think about it."

"What are you waiting for?"

Li Sujie hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, picked up a small wooden stick at hand, closed his eyes and gently tapped on the bull's head...

Wave!
Li Qinzai was overjoyed, turned his head and shouted: "The fourth prince injured our cow, report it to the government quickly, and our family will have to pay a fine! Someone take the cow out and slaughter it!"

Liu Ah Si rushed in like a group of melodramas, took up the cow and left without saying a word, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. His movements were crisp and neat, coming and going without a trace, as if he had rehearsed hundreds of times in advance.

Not only did Li Sujie look dull, but even the cow that was led out was inexplicable.

Li Sujie stared blankly at all this, and said, "So... hurt the cow?"

Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "I'm injured, very seriously. Obviously I can't plow the land anymore, so I can only kill and eat meat."

"Sir, is it a bit of a joke?" Li Sujie said with difficulty.

"It's no joke, everything is reasonable and legal. Our family is a law-abiding citizen, and the fine we should pay to the government will not be less."

Li Sujie sighed, and murmured: "What a crime..."

"Wait, today you will be able to eat delicious beef, overcooked beef brisket, tripe that can be served in hot pot, cooked beef tripe mixed with cold dishes, beef veal, and a big stick of bone marrow that is full of fragrance, tsk, It's almost drooling." Li Qinzai looked forward to it.

Can't wait, got up and went to the back kitchen.

Today is another busy day, and the spirit and belly will be extremely full.

…………

The other courtyard has a banquet today, a feast of all cattle.

In the afternoon, the back kitchen was busy. The slaughtered cattle were divided into various pieces. Li Qinzai personally supervised the work, and even the internal organs that people in Datang never ate were not allowed to be thrown away.

The big bone sticks were stewed for three hours, from noon to evening. The soup was mixed with various spices and became thick and thick, and the fragrance wafted throughout the courtyard.

Shredded beef tendon, stir-fried beef is a must.

Beef tenderloin cut into steaks, the steaks eaten in the previous life must also be arranged.

Beef tripe and veal are boiled and served cold, mixed with wild vegetables and seasonings, and topped with sesame oil, refreshing and appetizing.

The frenzied Li Qinzai didn't even spare the bullwhip and the cow's eggs. He kept these for himself to eat secretly. Sprinkling cumin on the barbecue was equally delicious.

In the afternoon, someone leaked the news, and the students gathered in the backyard like a group of beggars, squatting on the ground pitifully, looking at Li Qinzai who was busy in the back kitchen.

Until the sun slanted, the heat was finally enough.

Li Qinzai scooped out large chunks of overcooked beef, beef bone sticks, and sheets of baked cakes from a large pot. A group of students squatted eagerly on the ground, holding bowls the size of washbasins, and ate them one by one. Got to sweat profusely.

After dismissing the students, Li Qinzai ordered his servants to bring all kinds of beef into the front hall.

In the front hall, Cui Jie and Jin Xiang looked curiously at the plates of beef cooked in various ways.

Cui Jie said in embarrassment: "Husband, eating beef...isn't it good?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The cows are dead, and the meat has been made into vegetables. Is it possible that I bury the cooked meat in the soil and give it a grand burial?"

Cui Jie rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "My husband has worked so hard to eat beef."

Li Qinzai glanced at Jin Xiang, and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, it's purely a coincidence, Li Sujie accidentally injured the cow, I just slaughtered it, and ate its meat reluctantly. Our family is a law-abiding citizen and never does anything illegal. "

"Since I have known you, I have rarely seen you do anything law-abiding." Cui Jie said angrily.

"Madam has never eaten beef before?" Li Qinzai asked curiously.

Cui Jie hesitated for a moment, and said: "I have eaten it a few times, but it was all caused by the cattle in my village..."

Then Cui Jie added in a more emphatic tone: "It was really hurt. I stumbled and broke my leg when crossing the ditch, so I had to kill and eat meat..."

"Just like me, you are killing with pain, eating meat with pain?"

Cui Jie chuckled, and even Jin Xiang's mouth curled up slightly.

"Okay, the meat is on the table, if you don't eat it, you'll be hypocritical."

Cui Jie and Jin Xiang looked at each other, hesitantly put down their chopsticks.

At the beginning, the second daughter made a uncomfortable and unaccustomed face. After the first bite of beef was put into her mouth, the second daughter's eyes lit up, and the speed of picking up the vegetables gradually increased.

In the end, I simply let myself go, released my nature, and became less and less particular about eating.

Li Qinzai looked at them with a smile and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Cui Jie nodded and said vaguely: "It's delicious, my husband's cooking skills are really good."

Jin Xiang didn't say anything, and he still maintained a cold personality in front of him, but he was extremely enthusiastic about the beef in front of him.

The three of them were having a good meal when a servant hurried into the hall and said: "Five Shaolang, His Royal Highness Prince Teng has arrived."

Li Qinzai was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Jin Xiang with doubts in his eyes.

Your father came to collect debts?

Jin Xiang was also a little surprised, his beautiful eyes appeared a little confused.

Li Qinzai pouted his chin towards Jinxiang, and raised his voice, "Just say I'm not here!"

Cui Jie was surprised and said: "Husband, His Highness Prince Teng is the father of the county lord, and he has been friends with the concubine's family for many years, how can my husband avoid seeing him?"

Li Qinzai said vaguely: "When I was in Bingzhou, I had a little friction with King Teng..."

Jin Xiang snorted: "It's not just a small friction."

Cui Jie became more and more astonished: "You...husband offended King Teng when he was in Bingzhou?"

Li Qinzai laughed dryly: "Actually, it was a misunderstanding. It's too late to explain, so I'll avoid it for now."

Jin Xiang sighed, got up and walked out, saying, "I'm going to meet my father."

Seeing that Li Qinzai was planning to run away in a panic, Jin Xiang couldn't help but said: "Uncle Li, the father has come, you can't hide, you should think about how to deal with him."

Li Qinzai tentatively asked, "How about... ordering the trilogy to kick your father out?"

Jin Xiang's almond eyes widened: "How dare you!"

Cui Jie on the side looked at Li Qinzai and then at Jinxiang.

Why is the atmosphere so weird?
