Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 242 Pork price increase

Everyone got up very late the next day.

And when I woke up, I didn't feel hungry.

A whole fat sheep was eaten by them like this, it's no wonder that they are hungry.

So, after waking up, Qin Tian didn't even eat breakfast, and started to smoke the bacon directly.

Smoked bacon is much more convenient than roasted whole lamb, as long as it is hung up and smoked, but it can only be smoked and cannot be roasted by fire.

In this way, Qin Tian finally smoked some bacon until Shen Shi in the afternoon.

The color of these smoked bacon is very bright. After all, there is soy sauce in the spread, and the soy sauce is very colorful.

After smoking, Qin Tian immediately took a piece to the kitchen, he wanted to make a dish to taste first.

In fact, this dish is also very common, it doesn’t even have a name, it just cuts bacon into thin slices and stir-fries them with green vegetables.

After it was fried like this, Qin Tian asked everyone to taste it.

Because I ate too much last night, everyone didn't eat in the morning, and ate a little at noon. By the time of Shen Shi, they were already a little hungry.

So everyone was welcome, picked up the steamed buns and ate them.

This green vegetable is originally bland, but after being mixed with bacon, the taste has a fragrance, and it tastes particularly delicious.

And the bacon, with a layer of smoked burnt green on the outside, and very tender meat inside, tastes even more delicious.

They ate up a dish without eating much.

"Sir, I never thought that the fried dishes made from smoked pork would be so delicious." Tang Rong couldn't stop thinking.

Even Lu Huaniang felt that this dish was simply delicious. Although it was just an ordinary home-cooked dish, it was even more delicious than those delicacies from mountains and seas.

"This is more smoked. If it is dried for a few months, it will be really cooked. You can eat it directly, and the taste is absolutely good."

Hearing what Qin Tian said, several people couldn't help drooling again.

However, Qin Tian didn't say much to them. After ordering his servants to continue smoking the bacon according to his previous steps, he sent the smoked bacon and roasted whole lamb to Princess Jiu.

After the ninth princess got these, she only left a few pieces of bacon, and then ordered people to bring these things into the palace.

It was the end of the year, and the vacation was about to begin, so the court had to do some things before the vacation, and Li Yuan became busier than ever.

So much so that when I was busy, I didn't even have to eat lunch.

The snacks brought to him by the eunuch before were still on the table in the royal study, and he only ate one occasionally. The eunuch wanted to persuade him to eat more, but he was worried about being scolded, and was very entangled.

However, Li Yuan was reviewing the memorial when suddenly his nose moved.

"What, why is it so fragrant?"

As soon as I asked, a little eunuch hurried in: "My lord, the ninth princess asks to see you, she brought you some food."

"Oh, let Xiao Jiu come in."

The eunuch ran out, and Princess Jiu came in after a while, and behind him, two eunuchs followed, one carrying mutton and the other carrying bacon.

When Li Yuan saw these things, he immediately stood up: "Xiao Jiu, what is this, it smells so good."

Princess Jiu cut a piece of mutton for Li Yuan: "Father, please taste it."

Li Yuan picked it up and ate it. After taking a bite, he suddenly felt that the meat he ate in his previous life was rubbish.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, did you make this?"

The nine princesses said: "Father is joking, my son knows how to cook, these are all baked by Qin Tian."

"Qin Tian?" Li Yuan was taken aback, why did Qin Tian make so many novel things recently? How did this kid grow his head?

"Not bad, not bad, this tastes good, let him come to this year's palace banquet, and bake a few for us to eat."

The nine princesses quickly responded, and then said: "Father, although the roasted whole lamb is delicious, the significance of the bacon is extraordinary. Bacon is easy to preserve and can be eaten directly. If it is equipped in the army, then I will go to the army in the Tang Dynasty." The speed is much faster, even if you go deep alone, you don't have to worry too much about food and grass..."

After the Ninth Princess finished speaking, Li Yuan's expression changed. Originally, he was immersed in the delicious food. He never thought that bacon would have this effect. The key to marching and fighting lies in the speed of soldiers. The faster the marching speed, the better the opportunity , the greater the possibility of victory.

If the whole army doesn't have to worry about making a fire, and can live with steamed buns and bacon, it will save a lot of time.

This thing really means nothing to war.

"Okay, good stuff, it's really good stuff. I didn't expect that the food made by Qin Tian would have this kind of effect. Someone, go to the Qin Manor to deliver a decree to reward Qin Tian with a hundred gold, asking him to tell the method of smoking bacon, Teach it to the firemen in the army, let them make bacon, in case of emergencies.”

Immediately after Li Yuan gave the order, some palace servants went to the Qin Mansion to pass the decree. Qin Tian was surprised when he saw the one hundred gold. Getting one hundred gold, this real reward, made him feel very good.

"My lord Qin, the Holy Majesty said that you should not delay too much in teaching how to make bacon in the army. It is best to go as soon as you can. This reward has been given, so you can't neglect it."

Qin Tiandao: "Don't worry, father-in-law, how dare you neglect, after I clean up here, I will rush to the army immediately."

The palace man nodded, and then retreated.

After the palace servants left, Qin Tian called Uncle Fu over.

"Go back to Qin's Village and ask our villagers to raise a large number of pigs from now on, as much as they can."

Hearing this, Uncle Fu was puzzled, and said, "Master, the pigs we raise now are enough for us to eat, what else do we need to raise, and let everyone in the village do the same, why...why?"

Qin Tian sighed softly: "Didn't you hear what the palace man said just now, the Holy Majesty wants the army to keep bacon on hand for combat, and the army needs a lot of bacon, and at that time the pork must be bought from the people, and the pork will be ready when the time comes The price will definitely increase, we are now raising pigs, and we will wait to make money when the time comes, and tell the folks that we must raise more.”

With such an explanation, Fu Bo immediately understood that his young master was seeking the welfare of the villagers, and raising pigs would definitely make money.

So without hesitation, Uncle Fu immediately made preparations and rushed to Qinjia Village, because Qin Tian has always had prestige, and Uncle Fu also explained the reason, the whole village immediately started raising pigs without any hesitation. stand up.

The previous pigsty was too small, so they expanded the pigsty, and even built a few larger pigsties. Anyway, Qin Tian said, if you want to raise more, then they will raise more.

The Qin family village started to raise pigs in a hurry. It can be said that almost every household is raising pigs. If the conditions are good, they will raise more, and if the conditions are poor, they will raise less. Anyway, there is no one who does not want to raise pigs. Even Qin Fei has followed suit.

At this time, Qin Tian went to the barracks.
