Chapter 340

Jin Rong frowned slightly, the imperial court clearly forbade the slaughter of farm cattle.The current emperor sets an example. Not only does the plow plow every spring to show that he attaches great importance to farming and oxen, but also, he has not seen beef in the palace for more than ten years.

Jiang Yifan explained: "The cow slaughtered by the cattle farm has a record in the county government. The record shows that this cow has injured a hind leg and is no longer able to work hard."

Qi Younian also said from the side: "I should have told Liu Ye just now. This is a cow, and the milk production was good at first, but after the leg was injured, there was not much milk left. Several breedings were unsuccessful, and it was improper to keep it. It is useful, but it can’t be sold for a price. It has been raised for more than a month, and it is waiting to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.”

Jin Rong's brows were loosened. Slaughtering cattle at will would not only hinder farming, but if they were exploited again, the cattle farm he and Jiang Yifan might be guarded by the imperial court.If there is reason and evidence, and it has been filed with the government, then it will be another story.

"Tch!" Guan He looked at Jin Rong with disdain in his eyes, "Sixth master, how does he employ people? He doesn't even know the temper and human nature of his subordinates. Qi Ye will leave someone behind Such a trick? Sixth Lord is simply asking too much."

Jin Rong leaned towards Guan He: "Isn't it just eating beef a little later, seeing how promising you are, not only have you not improved in so many years, but you are not as good as the past."

Guan He retorted and said, "I'm getting old, and it's inevitable that I won't be promising when I'm old. The sixth master was not much better when he was young. He didn't stay in the capital well, and came here to squeeze a young woman to do things for you."

"What do you know? I know people and make good use of them. Qi Ye is showing talent and ability. We each get what we need. You are a wanderer with no sense of responsibility, how do you know this?" Jin Rong said.

"Why didn't I see Mrs. Qi get anything, but I only saw you..."

"Senior brother," Jiang Yifan interrupted him hastily, "Let's not quarrel, it's more important to eat and drink. Isn't senior brother waiting for the beef? Sixth Master is busy bickering, so he can't care less about using his chopsticks."

Guan He immediately pointed the finger at Jiang Yifan, "And you, with Master Rong Liu, you have no principles in life, right? I am your elder brother, do you know that you should help me suppress the arrogance of your sixth master? , instead of just thinking about calming down and being a good old man."

Qi Younian and Wang Qiao were stunned at the same time, Jin Rong let out a chuckle, waved his chopsticks and said, "Come here, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." He picked up a piece of beef and bit off half, chewed and swallowed it carefully, and praised, "It tastes delicious." Not bad, it’s well cooked, and the meat is of good quality and chewy.”

Naturally, Guan He didn't care about Jiang Yifan, so he picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. While savoring the whole piece, he praised vaguely: "It really didn't disappoint me. The beef tastes good. Last night I could smell the aroma of boiled beef, but there are people busy in the kitchen all the time, which makes me hungry."

Jin Rong was in a good mood, and didn't care about the quarrel with Guan He just now, and said, "It's really convenient to be attached to the cattle farm, otherwise how can I eat beef so openly. Even in the capital, I can't buy beef a few times a year. "

Guan He raised his wine glass, gestured to Jin Rong, and said, "You're right, and you've done a good job. If it weren't for your cattle farm, there wouldn't be cheese, and even if you want to come to this little Guan Small village. In that case, wouldn’t you miss out on a lot of interesting things and a lot of delicious food? Come, Guan Mou respects the sixth master.”

Qi Younian and Jiang Yifan exchanged glances, they ate food with chopsticks without saying a word.

Then, Jin Rong, who had tasted the lamb liver, said to Guan He: "This lamb liver is also good. Brother Guan, try it. I didn't expect that the lamb liver would taste like this after being poured with vinegar and minced garlic."

Guan He echoed, "The dishes served on the table at his house can't be wrong. You have never lived in his house, and you don't know that Mr. Qi, the granddaughter, is thinking about what to eat all day long. Every day when you see the ingredients in the kitchen , just find trouble with the cook, what kind of sweet, sour, sweet and sour, sweet and salty and sweet, boiled, fried... Anyway, you can try and try hard when you take something My son's tossing. After such a toss, if you still can't come up with a few good dishes, wouldn't it be a waste of hard work for the mothers."

Jin Rong asked with a smile: "Brother Guan despises Ye Zi tossing?"

Guan He immediately retorted, "Why? I'm praising her, can't you hear it?" As he spoke, he picked up another chopstick of bean sprouts, "This one is also good. The bean sprouts fried in this way are refreshing and crispy. It’s greasy. Let me tell you, it’s only pleasant to eat delicious food made with ordinary ingredients.”

Jin Rong glanced at him, the biggest use for Yuan Fan to find this guy is to eat, right?

Several people chatted and bickered while eating, and after a while, two hot dishes were served, namely braised mutton in red and twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts.The red braised mutton is bright in color, and when served at one end, the table is filled with the strong aroma of stewed mutton.And the bright green garlic sprouts in the plate of twice-cooked pork, on this winter table, are bright and make people feel comfortable

Guan He looked at the plate of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, and smiled and asked Zi Ning who was serving the dishes: "Did your mother Liu cut off the garlic sprouts planted by your aunt to make this dish?"

Zi Ning nodded solemnly, and said: "Mama only cut one plate, and left another plate for the eldest lady." Then she blessed her and went down.

Jin Rong was taken aback for a moment: "I sent such a sincere girl to Ye Zi?"

Guan He almost burst out laughing, and quickly ordered the plate of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts and said, "Don't worry about that, it's not easy to have such an idea of ​​being green in the severe winter. Come and try it, I have eaten this dish in autumn, the taste of meat and The taste of garlic sprouts is blended, and the taste is quite good.”

Qi Younian also thought it was funny watching Zi Ning go out, Zi Ning always just obeyed orders and didn't worry about other things, she might not be sincere, but she was too lazy to deal with many unnecessary things, but her own Ye Zi liked her personality quite a bit.

The old man held back his smile and said: "This braised mutton is also good. It tastes delicious. The radish and potato are very tasty. It will give you a long appetite."

Guan He also strongly recommended: "It's really good, not only the radish and potato are delicious, but the key is that the mutton is well stewed, fat and thin, rotten but not firewood, it completely melts in the mouth."

Jin Rong picked up a piece and ate it, and it was really delicious. It didn't have the smell of mutton at all, but only the strong smell of meat remained, plump but not greasy.

Guan He looked at Jin Rong's rich expression, and said with a smile: "Not bad? I didn't know until I came here that besides spices and cooking methods, sheep is also the key to stewed mutton. His family's sheep is helped by Zhang Baokui from the cheese workshop. The grasses that are raised and the sheep are fed are all particular, so there is such a delicacy."

After that, the hot dishes were served separately, such as steamed chicken wings, sweet and sour pork ribs, grilled fish with cheese, fried fungus with yam, and a clear stewed oxtail soup.

Except for fried fungus with yam, Jin Rong and Jiang Yifan had never eaten anything else.

Jin Rong didn't speak much, just moved his chopsticks, and tasted everything, and each dish had its own flavor.He bit a piece of ribs and asked Guan He: "Brother Guan has eaten all these dishes?"
