Prince of Tang Dynasty

After lunch, Li Yu and his party went to the outside of Chang'an City.

On the way to the outside of Chang'an City, Changsun Jing and the others were very surprised when they learned that Li Yu was looking for a pig. They didn't understand why Li Yu was looking for a dirty and smelly pig.

Li Yu said that although the pigs are dirty and smelly, the meat is very delicious.Changsun Jing and the others did not believe this at all.

Ten miles outside Chang'an City, there is a village called Qianjiazhuang.

In order not to attract attention, the carriage that Li Yu and the others rode was an ordinary carriage, not a luxury carriage that showed their status.

The arrival of Li Yu and his group of children attracted the curiosity and attention of the people in Qianjiazhuang.Li Yu asked the villagers to find out where the village chief's house was on Monday and Tuesday.

Soon, Monday brought a lean, dark-skinned, gray-haired old man over.

The old man's name is Qian Dashan, and he is the village chief of Qianjiazhuang.

The village head was very discerning, and he could tell at a glance that Li Yu and the others were children of a rich family.He didn't know what the young masters of these rich families were doing in their Zhuangzi, and their attitude and tone were very polite: "Masters, I don't know why you are looking for the old and the young?"

Li Yu saw that the village chief was a little nervous, so he smiled reassuringly at him: "Old man, don't worry, we are not bad people, and we came to your village for business."

When the village chief saw that the little doll in front of him had red lips and white teeth, and a pale pink mole between his brows, just like the boy in the New Year picture, he couldn't help but relax his nervous heart.

"My lord, what can I do for you?"

Li Yu didn't go around and asked directly: "Old uncle, does anyone in your village raise pigs?"

"Hog?" The village head was startled when he heard Li Yu's question, and then a look of surprise appeared on his dark face, "Young Master, are you looking for Hog?"

Li Yu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I came to your Zhuangzi to look for pigs. Is there anyone in your Zhuangzi who raises pigs?"

It was the first time that the village chief saw a son from a rich family come to look for a pig, and he felt very strange, but he still replied honestly: "I have a pig at home, I don't know why this young master is looking for a pig?"

Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard that the village head's family raised pigs, thinking that he was lucky to find a family that raised pigs as soon as he came.

"Old man, I want to buy your pigs. How many pigs do you have?"

"Ah? Do you want to buy a pig?" The village head opened his mouth wide in shock, with an expression of disbelief, "Young master, do you really want to buy a pig?"

"Yes, I want to buy pigs. How many pigs do you have?" Li Yu's eyes were shining, and his small face was shining, "Can you take me to have a look?"

"Yes, yes, but my son, the pig is very dirty and smelly, are you sure you want to see it?" The village chief murmured in your heart, this young master is so weird that he came to look for the pig.

"Go, go, take me to see quickly."

Seeing Li Yu's impatient look, the village head felt even weirder in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Li Yu and the others warily.

"Young master, please forgive me for asking too much, what do you buy a pig for?" The pig is useless, it can't plow the land like a cow, and it can't guard the gate like a dog.His family raises pigs for food, but the meat of pigs is not tasty.However, because hogs have a lot of meat and a hog is cheap, his family bought a hog to raise.

Li Yu smiled and said, "For eating."

"Ah?" The village chief exclaimed, "My son, do you want to eat pig meat?" This rich and noble young man is really weird, he wants to eat pig meat, what's so delicious about pig meat.

"Yes." Seeing the village head looking at him strangely, Li Yu didn't bother to explain, "Old man, take me to see your pig first."

"Okay, this way please." Although the village head couldn't understand, he still took Li Yu and the others to see his pig.

The hogs of the village head's family were kept in the backyard of their house, and when they approached, they smelled a foul smell.Changsun Jing and the others quickly pinched their noses, with extremely disgusted expressions on their faces.

"It's a bit stinky." The village chief saw that Sun Jing was covering his nose with a disgusted expression, and thought to himself that these young masters are so stinky, why are they looking for pigs.However, this young man who looked like a boy didn't change his face, and he didn't dislike him at all.

Li Yu was born in a rural area in his previous life, and his family raised several pigs. When he was young, he often went to the pigsty to feed the pigs, and he was used to the stench in the pigsty.

The pigsty of the village head's house is very simple, just a thatched house, and it's not big.There is a large cesspit behind the thatched hut, and most of the stench comes from here.

"Young master, please come in."

The village head opened the door, and a big and fat pig came into Li Yu's eyes.

The pig was eating and grunting.

When Li Yu saw the pig, he immediately felt cordial, thinking that he had finally seen a live pig.

Seeing Li Yu looking at his family's pig with bright eyes, as if his family's pig was like some kind of rare treasure, the village head felt that this young man was even more weird.

Li Yu visually estimated that the pigs in Xiacun Chang's house weighed about [-] catties, and they could kill [-] to [-] catties of pork.Looking at the muddy pig, Li Yu swallowed greedily.Don't blame him for being greedy, it's been a long time since I ate pork.It is no exaggeration to say that in Li Yu's eyes, the pigs that are eating at this time are braised pork, boiled pork slices, braised pork ribs, fried pork...

Li Zhi walked to Li Yu's side, pointed at the dirty and smelly pig, and asked, "Little fish, can it really be eaten?"

"Of course you can."

Changsun Jing and the others thought it was too stinky, so they didn't follow Li Yu into the pigsty, but stood outside.But standing outside, the stench was still so bad that they felt sick.

Changsun Ze couldn't bear it first, and ran away covering his nose and mouth.After a while, Changsun Jing and Changsun Xu also fled.When they fled to the main gate of the village chief's house, they retched unbearably.

"Old man, I want all of your pig." Li Yu couldn't wait to eat braised pork, "How much does your pig cost?"

The village chief was surprised: "Do you want the whole head?"

Li Yu nodded: "Yes, I need the whole head."

The village head is an honest man, so he didn't see that Li Yu was a son of a rich family, so he took the opportunity to trick him. On the contrary, he persuaded him earnestly, "Young master, pig meat is not tasty, are you sure you want to buy it?"

"I'm sure, and sure." Li Yu knew that the village chief was doing it for his own good, so he wasn't impatient, "Old man, just tell me how much your pig is worth?"

Seeing that Li Yu insisted on buying his family's pig, the village chief didn't try to persuade him, "My lord, pigs are very cheap, just give me five hundred Wen."

Li Yu was startled, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Five hundred Wen?"

The village chief thought that Li Yu thought it was too expensive, so he quickly said, "Four hundred Wen is also fine."

Li Yu was speechless when he heard the price, a pig weighing more than 100 catties was only [-] Wen, which is too cheap!

Zhou Yi walked to Li Yu's side and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, a pig is about four or five hundred Wen."

Li Yu nodded slightly, suppressing the shock in his eyes, "Old man, how about it, I will give you seven hundred coins, you help me kill this pig, and cut out its meat for me, what do you think?" Like?" He originally thought that a pig would be worth at least one or two taels of silver, but he didn't expect it to be only four or five hundred Wen, which is really too cheap.However, it's normal to think about it. Nobles and rich people don't eat pork, they like to eat mutton. It seems that only ordinary people eat pork, so the price is not expensive.

"My lord, it's too high. You can just give me five hundred Wen." The village chief waved his hands in fright when he heard that Li Yu wanted to give him seven hundred Wen. He didn't dare to charge more money from these rich kids.

"Old man, it's only seven hundred Wen." Li Yu said in a tone that could not be refused.

"This... is really too much."

"Not much." Li Yu said, "Old man, I want you to kill this pig right now, do you think you can do it in time?"

"Should we kill now?"

"Yes, after killing it, I will bring the pig meat back to Chang'an City, so I will trouble you as soon as possible."

The village chief thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to kill the pig right now."

"It's troublesome."

Li Yu from the village chief's family was so polite, and said flatteredly: "Young master, I'm going to find someone." After speaking, he quickly added, "Young master, please go to the old and young's house to sit for a while. , It will take some time to kill this hog."

"it is good."

Seeing that Li Yu had finally come out, Changsun Jing and the others hurried towards him, "Little Yu'er, do you really want to buy pigs?"

"Of course I'll buy it, I've already paid for it."

Changsun Ze and the others looked shocked: "Little Yu'er, you..." For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

"It will take some time to kill the hog. We can go around." Li Yu suddenly thought that he was not only looking for the hog but also tea when he came out this time. "Old man, does anyone in your village grow tea?"

"My lord, do you want some tea?"

"Yes, I want freshly picked tea leaves, do you have them in your village?"

"We don't have any in our village, but there is tea in the Chenjiazhuang next door. You can go and have a look, my lord."

"Thank you, old man." Li Yu called Zhou Yi in front of him, "You stay here and watch the butcher, I'll go to the Chenjiazhuang next door to have a look."

"Yes, sir."

Li Yu asked the village chief how to get to Chenjiazhuang, and then took Changsun Jing and the others to the next door Chenjiazhuang.

Chenjiazhuang is not very far from Qianjiazhuang, five or six miles away, and it will be a short journey by carriage.

"Xiao Yu'er, what do you want tea for?" Changsun Jing asked puzzledly, "there should be a lot of tea in the palace, so you don't need to come here to collect tea, right?"

"You don't understand." Li Yu shook his head and didn't say much, "I come here to collect tea, and I have my own use."

Li Yu asked Tuesday to find out where the village chief's house was.After inquiring, the group went directly to the village chief's house.

After meeting the village chief, Li Yu said straight to the point that he wanted fresh tea leaves just picked from the tea tree, and the more the better.

Chenjiazhuang is the village that grows the most tea in the nearby villages, and it is mainly sold to teahouses in Chang'an City.

When the village head heard that Li Yu wanted a large amount of tea, he was naturally very happy and quickly said yes.However, I'm afraid I won't be able to give Li Yu much today.

At this time, ordinary tea leaves have just grown, and a tea tree does not have much fresh tea leaves, unlike in summer when it is lush.

Li Yu also knew about this situation, and said that he would send people to collect tea every day during this time.

He collected all the tea leaves in Chenjiazhuang, adding up to more than 40 catties of young leaves, and he calculated that he could make almost ten catties of dry tea leaves.

Before leaving, Li Yu told the village chief of Chenjiazhuang that he would send people to collect tea every afternoon starting tomorrow, and told the village chief not to sell the fresh leaves to others.

After collecting the tea leaves, Li Yu asked to send them back to Changsun's mansion on Tuesday, and asked Changsun Wuji to find some experienced tea masters by the way.

These tea masters must be trustworthy, because these masters will follow him to do things later.

Li Yu also instructed that on Tuesday, when the fresh tea leaves were sent back to the Changsun Mansion, they should spread out the fresh tea leaves to dry quickly.

After receiving the order on Tuesday, he hurriedly sent the forty catties of fresh tea leaves back to Changsun's mansion.

Li Yu then asked the village head of Chenjiazhuang whether there was tea in other villages besides Chenjiazhuang.

The village head of Chenjiazhuang told Li Yu that among the dozen or so villages nearby, their Chenjiazhuang planted the most tea, but the other villages also had tea, but not a lot.

Li Yu thought about it, and first collected tea in a dozen villages outside Chang'an City.After the loose tea was made and it was welcomed, he asked Aye to send people to the south of the Yangtze River to collect tea leaves.

After collecting the tea leaves in Chenjiazhuang, Li Yu asked the village head if anyone in their village raised pigs.

One pig is definitely not enough to eat. After he asks the cook at the carp restaurant to make delicacies such as braised pork, boiled pork slices, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs, pork will definitely be in short supply.

Li Yu's luck is good, there are many people in Chenjiazhuang who raise pigs, and some of them have old sows who gave birth to piglets a while ago.As soon as Li Yu heard that there were little piglets, Li Yu thought of roast suckling pig.

"Village chief, I want all the hogs raised in your village."

The village head of Chenjiazhuang was shocked by Li Yu's "tough" words, and he had an expression of disbelief: "You want them all?"

"Yes, tell the hog breeders in the village, and I will come to collect the pigs in two days." Li Yu saw that he said to collect the pigs, but the village chief didn't understand, so he had to change his words, "It's the hogs."

"You really want them all?" The village head of Chenjiazhuang and the village head of Qianjiazhuang thought Li Yu was too strange, so they came to their village to buy pigs.

"I want all of them. If your relatives also have pigs, sell them all to me."

"Yes, yes! Our relatives have several families that raise pigs, and they are all very fat." The village chief of Chenjiazhuang didn't understand why Li Yu bought pigs, but it was a good thing for them.You must know that no one eats hog meat, and it cannot be sold at a good price.

"Give it to me, and I will trouble you to slaughter the pig."

The village head of Chenjiazhuang patted his chest and said with a smile: "No problem, we will help you slaughter it well."

After Li Yu told the village head of Chenjiazhuang again, he left.On the way back to Qianjiazhuang, Changsun Jing and the others looked at Li Yu like they were looking at a lunatic.

"Little Yu'er, are you crazy, buying so many pigs at once." Zhang Sunjing felt that Li Yu was crazy, "No one will eat pig meat."

"Brother Jing, remember what you just said, don't eat pork at night." Li Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled with an inscrutable expression on his face, "Pork is ten thousand times more delicious than you imagined. .”

Changsun Ze didn't believe it, so he sneered: "There is nothing delicious about pig meat, the nobles don't even eat it."

"That's because you don't know how to eat it." Li Yu had inquired that pork was always steamed in the Tang Dynasty, so of course it didn't taste good. "The pork I made will make you change your perception of pork, just wait and see."

Li Zhi nodded at the side: "Xiao Yu'er is the best at making food, every time he makes something very delicious."

Changsun Jing and the others thought about it and found that it was true.Every time the food that Xiaoyuer makes is weird, but very delicious, like that pizza and fried noodles.

When Li Yu and the others returned to Qian's Village, Qian Dashan and the others had already killed the pig and were currently cutting the meat.

Li Yu hurried over and told Qian Dashan how they cut the meat.In addition to cutting the meat, Li Yu also specially asked Qian Dashan to pick out all the bones.

In addition to meat and bones, Li Yu also asked Qian Dashan and the others to get out the internal organs of the pig. Pig lungs, pig liver, pig kidneys, and pig intestines are all good things.

Seeing that Li Yu even wanted something as disgusting as the large intestine, Qian Dashan and the others were too shocked to speak.

Changsun Jing and the others were also frightened by Li Yu, thinking that he was completely crazy.

Li Yu didn't bother to explain to them, so he asked Qian Dashan and the others to clean the pig's internal organs.

Qian Dashan and the others have never eaten the internal organs of pigs, so they don't know how to clean them.Li Yu had no choice but to teach them how to clean.

The pig's large intestine was too dirty and smelly, no one wanted to wash it, so Li Yu had no choice but to pay the villagers of Qianjiazhuang to wash it.In the end, it was washed by Qian Dashan's wife.Li Yu asked Qian Dashan's wife to wash the pig's large intestine with salt, which could clean the pig's large intestine.

After the whole pig was divided, it was almost the end of Shen Shi.Li Yu and the others didn't dare to stay any longer. After thanking the villagers in Qianjiazhuang, they left in a hurry.

Before leaving, Li Yu told Qian Dashan that he would come to buy pigs in a few days, no matter if it was a small pig or a big pig, he wanted it.

When Qian Dashan heard this, he immediately said that he would let the villagers sell the pig to Li Yu.

After Li Yu and the others left, the villagers in Qianjiazhuang thought he was a weird person.

On the way back to Chang'an City, Li Yu explained to Changsun Jing and the others in detail the various ways to make and eat pork.Li Yu's eloquence is good, and he is very good at describing the color and aroma of braised pork.Just hearing what he said, Changsun Jing and the others were so greedy that they salivated.

Hearing Li Yu's description of how delicious the pig meat was, Zhang Sunjing and the others immediately looked forward to it.

Back in Chang'an City, Li Yu didn't go to Changsun's mansion in a hurry, but went to the carp restaurant, and handed over the carload of pork he brought back to the cook of the carp restaurant.

The chefs of the Carp Restaurant came from Shangshi Bureau, and they were the ones who made all the delicacies that Li Yu made before.

The cooks were of course shocked when they saw Li Yu give them a wagonload of pig meat.Although they had known for a long time that His Highness King Rui liked to cook some weird food, but pork...was beyond their acceptable range.

Li Yu couldn't wait to eat braised pork, so he first taught the cooks how to cook it.

The cooks who didn't pay much attention to pig meat at first, heard Li Yu's braised pork, their eyes lit up, and they looked eager to try.

There are three chefs in the carp restaurant, and Li Yu asked one of them, who is older and has rich experience in cooking, to specialize in braised pork.Then, he taught the second cook how to make braised pork ribs.Finally, he taught the third cook how to roast pork belly.

I will teach these three dishes temporarily tonight, and he will teach the others tomorrow.

After listening to Li Yu's explanation, the three cooks were stunned again.They have been cooks for more than ten years, or even decades, but they don't even know that pig meat can do this.Just hearing what His Royal Highness Rui said, they knew that the taste must be very good.

When Princess Changle and the others learned that Li Yu had returned from outside Chang'an City, they rushed to the Carp Restaurant and asked Li Yu what he was doing to collect tea outside Chang'an City, and why he bought pig meat.

"Sister, the reason I collect tea leaves is to make the tea I told you about before." Li Yu had been a tea salesman in his previous life, and specially studied tea knowledge, as well as the tea ceremony.He knows how to make a lot of tea. "Sister, just wait. You will be surprised when I ask someone to make the tea I'm going to make."

"It's mysterious." Princess Changle reached out and tapped Li Yu's forehead, "Then I'll wait."

"Eldest sister, I assure you, you will definitely like to drink the tea I made." Li Yu said firmly, "It's not good, hit me."

Seeing Li Yu's swearing, Princess Changle smiled with great interest, "Okay, if it doesn't taste good, I'll beat you."

Chang Sun Chong asked in amazement: "Little Yu'er, what are you doing buying pigs outside Chang'an City?"

"Brother-in-law, you will know later." Li Yu smiled meaningfully, "It will be an eye-opener for all of you and a feast for your mouth."

Hearing what Li Yu said, Princess Changle and Changsun Chong became even more curious.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you guys do it first, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." After speaking, Li Yu went to the kitchen to stare at the braised pork.

Because there was no casserole, Li Yu asked the cook to slowly stew the braised pork in a clay pot.At this time, the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of braised pork.Li Zhi and the others, who followed Li Yu, smelled the aroma of braised pork, and their eyes widened.

Braised pork should be stewed slowly, at least for an hour.It's only half an hour now, and there's still half an hour before we can eat.

Li Yu had no choice but to resist the urge to eat braised pork, and turned to see how the boiled pork slices and braised pork ribs were doing.

At this time, there is no chili, so the boiled pork slices are naturally less tasty, but the overall taste is still good.

"The boiled pork slices still need to be improved."

"Your Highness, is there something missing?"

"What material do you think is missing?"

"The slave doesn't know."

"You can make boiled pork slices according to your ideas." There is no chili, so the cook can only find a way to fill this gap, "I brought back such meat, just for you to cook."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Yu tasted another piece of braised pork ribs, but the taste was not good because of the lack of chili.Without chili, there is really a lack of soul.He also let the cook do his own thing and redo the braised pork ribs.

"Almost forgot the sweet and sour pork ribs." Li Yu hurriedly told the cook how to make the sweet and sour pork ribs, and asked him to make them quickly.

Li Yu gave the boiled pork slices and braised pork ribs to Princess Changle and the others for a taste, and they received shocking expressions from their pupils without any surprise.

After the braised pork was ready, Princess Changle and the others were shocked to the point where they looked skeptical about life.

The author has something to say: I want to eat braised pork, oh, oh, oh, oh...Shanghai braised pork is really delicious.Also, Dongpo pork, delicious!

Boiled pork slices, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs, grilled pork belly... drooling, I feel like I'm writing a food article.

Little cuties, if I don't say it, you don't leave a message.If you don't leave a message, I will have no motivation, poor JPG.
