This King Zhou is not stupid

"Are you sure it doesn't smell like salted fish or bacon?"

"Head, don't worry, I haven't eaten salted fish before, it's not like this!"

The wolf demon was still very confident in his sense of smell.

"According to my experience, nine out of ten pork is sick and died."

"My lord, my lord, this is a small business." The shop owner came over in a panic.

Bigan didn't like this, he said coldly: "Open the warehouse and conduct routine inspections. If there is nothing to do, it's none of your business. If you have something to do, you have to come with me."

"It's not good, you don't know, sir, you can't open the door if you store some food."

There is indeed such a saying that some food cannot be opened after being stored during the production process, but it is not what the Yin Shang should have. The way of eating food in the Yin Shang is not that complicated.

"Open the door." Bigan's voice was as cold as the twelfth lunar month and winter.

"well."

There was no other way, the shopkeeper had no choice but to open the warehouse. As soon as he entered the room, the smell of mixed ingredients could indeed be faintly radiated.

And the wolf demon pointed to one of the pig's hind legs and said: "That's it, smell, um, it seems to be a bit smelly."

"Nonsense, we are all fresh pork, how could it be smelly." The shop owner glared at the wolf demon and said, "You dog's nose is not good."

"You have a dog's nose, but I have a wolf's nose! Dogs and wolves have different noses."

The wolf demon also glared at the store owner, bared his teeth, and scared the store owner into hiding behind Bigan.

The other cultivators next to him wanted to complain.

'Is there really a difference in appearance between a dog's nose and a wolf's nose? '

"Check again, is there plague on this piece of pork?"

Immediately, a monk came up to check with his magic weapon. The magic weapon swept across the pork, and a yellow light shone from it.

"Returning to my lord, there is a little plague. It is undoubtedly the pork that died of illness. In addition, this piece of meat does smell a little bit. I can smell it."

"My lord, this meat has indeed been stored for a long time, but we plan to cut off the smelly part and sell it cheaply. People will come to buy cheap meat every day." The shop owner hurried over and said.

"Sell cheap?"

Bigan turned his head to look at the shop owner and said, "I'll pay you for this piece of meat, do you dare to eat it?!"

The apologetic smile on the store owner's face was immediately suppressed by Bigan's fierce tone.

"My lord, you don't know that even now, there are still many people who can't afford to eat meat. The beggars on the roadside, let alone meat, they also eat leftovers from bad rice."

The shop owner also tried to reason with Bigan, but this rebuttal didn't matter, it made Bigan angry.

"Are you asking me why the people in the world don't eat minced meat?!"

"I don't mean that, sir, but the fact is that this meat is still edible, so it would be a pity to throw it away." The shop owner had seen Bigan before, but it was the first time seeing Bigan so angry.

Bigan was also so angry that he gritted his teeth.

' After all, I have underestimated these people. If you can 'fight wit and courage' with these people, the king can think highly of the veterans. '

"call."

Bigan took a deep breath, and then said: "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, can you make money by opening a restaurant in Chaoge?"

"Yes, of course you can, but you can only make a small fortune." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

In fact, everyone knows that opening a restaurant in Chaoge can make a fortune. This is the most populous city, and it is also the most convenient city for trade.

"Since you want to make a fortune in Chaoge, you have to abide by the rules of Yin Shang. The rules of Yin Shang are also the rules of Chaoge. Now you sell food with potential safety hazards. Violators will deduct thousands of dollars. This time I will only deduct a thousand dollars. money, but if you commit the crime again next time, it will be doubled according to the law, and I will deduct [-] yuan from you! I want to see how much money you have deducted!"

"understand."

How could the shopkeeper not understand Bigan's thoughts and nodded repeatedly.

"It's just that you don't understand, my lord. These ingredients can't be preserved for a long time in summer, and they will inevitably stink."

"From the time of Emperor Xuanyuan, no one dared to sell spoiled food in the main city of a country! Don't talk about the seasons, the king has already taught the people how to make bacon. Isn't that enough?"

Bigan's stern questioning got nothing but a wry smile from the waiter.

"But there are always customers who like to eat fresh meat, and they can't always eat bacon."

"hiss--"

Bigan gasped, and pointed at the waiter, his fingers were shaking.

"Although what you say is reasonable, I still want to kick you for the king! You greedy thing!!!"

Bigan really moved his foot, and kicked the shop owner on the back. The monks next to him were a step slower in reacting, and failed to stop him.

The shop owner was also kicked several steps away and rolled twice on the ground.

At this time, the monks of the Human Ministry stopped Bigan.

"My lord, no, you can't enforce the law violently!"

"It's the first time I've seen an adult so angry."

"Isn't your lord a civil servant? How can you be so fierce when you kick someone?"

"Let go!" Bigan also took a few long breaths, tidying up his somewhat disorganized appearance and tiara. Regardless of his being a civil servant, he is also a royal family.

It's just that it's a little rusty after becoming a sub-phase.

He also noticed his gaffe, and saluted slightly to the shopkeeper who stood up: "I kicked you, it was my dereliction of duty, I will pay for any compensation, I will still be punished if I should be punished, but you should be fined for selling illegal food Be sure to hand it in, the next time you commit a crime, it will be double, remember it!"

"Yes, yes, my lord, go slowly."

The store owner was also smart, he didn't argue with Bigan, it was a good thing that he got kicked by Bigan.

Next time Bigan will not dare to embarrass him too much, but the stinky food cannot be sold, otherwise the fine will be two thousand or four thousand, and they will be able to buy live pigs and kill them now.

Chapter 170 Nine: The words of a woman, the law of housekeeping!

"I'm furious!"

Bigan was seldom angry, but that trader kept making nonsensical reasons, such as 'small business' and 'difficulty for the butcher', and Bigan knew it. None of these guys had a family with real estate and wives and concubines together.

"Even if it's summer and autumn, it's still difficult to store food. Can't we give up some profits and sell some seasonal ingredients? Did the people eat meat in this season before?!"

"Why should Yaxiang get angry?"

One of Bigan's civil servants hurriedly poured tea for Bigan and said, "This season, not to mention the common people, even the meat we eat is bought and killed immediately, and the smell will be deodorized overnight. There is no way."

Bigan also looked at the teacup and sighed: "Few butchers would kill pigs in summer. A few years ago, even salt, the material used to marinate pork, was expensive, and it was a waste to marinate pork. Now The price of salt has gone down, and you can eat salted pork, but still want to eat fresh pork? Does it mean that the king will eat dragon meat in the future, and they also want a piece of soup!"

Not to mention, if one day there is a dragon meat breeding industry chain, then the common people may really eat dragon meat.

However, there are many problems. The difference in difficulty between raising dragons and raising pigs and sheep is not 01:30, and the cost of various expenditures, cultural acceptance, dragon protests and other issues must also be calculated.

So Di Xin didn't eat it.

It is the business of the powerful to eat, but Di Xin doesn't eat it anyway.

"Hey, what they said actually makes sense. It's just that they are too greedy. The bacon is really delicious. Last time I stayed up late to work, my wife made me a bowl of bacon porridge. It was delicious."

"That's right? It's summer and autumn now, so how can we preserve meat? Is it necessary to let the world be in a cold winter forever? Isn't that..."

Bigan stared at the steaming teacup, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind, which, as the saying goes, is enlightenment.

He pinched his chin and said in thought, "Wait, I seem to have thought of something just now."

"Master Bigan, have you thought of anything?"

"oops!"

Being disturbed by his subordinates, Bigan beat his chest and stomped his feet angrily.

"You man, why are you interrupting my train of thought at this time? I seem to have thought of a solution to the problem just now!"

Bi Gan got up angrily, and he was about to go to find Di Xin, but the official raised his hand in embarrassment and watched Bigan leave.

Finally, he said aggrievedly: "I just want to say that if you don't drink it, the tea will be cold."

----------

When Bigan went to look for Di Xin, Di Xin was visiting the garden with the harem. The back garden in summer and autumn is full of flowers and fruit blooming, which is a special scene.

Almost all the concubines from the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard came, and Di Xin felt the feeling of being surrounded by all the girls.

It's just that the beauty is competing for beauty, it's terrible, except for the fragrance, it's more interesting to listen to the ministers' report on state affairs in the Longde Hall.

'Hey, other people's harems are always more fragrant than your own. Why don't you see other people's harems today? Sure enough, the harem you conquered is more interesting. Long live pure love! '

However, the concubines worked very hard to please Emperor Xin.

Di Xin was surrounded by a group of Yingying and Yanyan, but he was not very interested. He really hoped that a minister would report the important matter immediately, and then he could get away.

"King!!!"

Di Xin's eyes lit up, is this what the legend says? !

Bigan also rushed to the back garden in a hurry, and when he saw Di Xin surrounded by concubines, he realized something was wrong.

"Ah, my lord, excuse me."

"No, Yaxiang, don't go!"

Di Xin stretched out a hand from the gap between the bodies of the concubines.

"The concubines make way for Gu, and Yaxiang has something to do with Gu."

A group of concubines who had been neglected for several years all looked at Bigan. Bigan felt a little bit in his heart, but he still walked in front of Di Xin.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

"Say, talk, talk, whatever happens."

Di Xin is also a fine person. In order to make the harem harmonious, he also embraced the concubine Huang beside him. After all, it is not the time to go to court, and most of these harems are the daughters of princes and nobles.

Don't be too indifferent, too indifferent and accidents will happen.

"That's it, Your Majesty, I would like to ask, is there a way to store food for a long time without changing the deliciousness of the food?"

"Yes." Di Xin thought of it at the time.

"What way?!" Bigan hurriedly asked, he just came to ask, but Di Xin really knew.

Di Xin didn't rush to tell him, but joked: "Of course, buy a live pig and bring it home. Whenever you are hungry, you can eat it raw. This is definitely the freshest method."

Di Xin's joke made the concubine in the harem burst into laughter, only Bi Gan was embarrassed.

"Is Your Majesty serious?"

"of course not."

The smile on Di Xin's face faded, and he said seriously: "There are ways to keep food as fresh as living things; there are ways to store food for a long time, but it is very difficult to combine the two. !"

Although Dixin had technologies such as 'refrigerator' and 'vacuum packaging' before traveling, it is absolutely impossible to keep it as fresh as a living thing.

From the moment the ingredients die, or in other words, from the moment the ingredients leave the original place of production, the degree of deliciousness will be compromised.

But the premise of eating is to fill the stomach, and the second is to enjoy the taste.

"Yaxiang, Gu doesn't look like you are such a person who enjoys life, why ask Gu this question."

"It's like this. During this inspection, I found that many vendors were selling stinky meat because the food could not be preserved. I was also obsessed with ghosts, and I was rude to ask the king such a stupid question."

"Stupid? Yaxiang is serious. From Gu's point of view, this question is very serious, very serious."

After Di Xin straightened his face, even the concubines around him didn't dare to laugh anymore, and Bigan also noticed that Di Xin seemed to be a little concerned about this issue.

"Does Your Majesty have some ideas in mind?"

"Yes, but it's still the same as before. If I don't say anything, I will remind Yaxiang to see if Yaxiang can come up with it, and this method is in the back garden."

'Right here in the back garden? '

Bigan looked at the back garden, besides people, flowers, birds, stones, soil and pool water, is there anything else?

'These things can also store ingredients?No, the king never jokes. He has used this method to remind the ministers several times. The king is exercising my ability to think actively, and I cannot shame the king. '

Bigan also stood up and began to watch in the back garden, he looked almost everywhere.

Even the concubines made way for him, focusing on Bigan one by one. Originally, the topic of today should be Di Xin, but now it has become Bigan.

'Yaxiang, thank you for your hard work, and help me share the pressure. Di Xin smiled wryly in his heart. He really didn't want to play tricks, but it was indeed time to exercise the thinking ability of the ministers.
