Princess of the auxiliary country

After Hongxiu stepped back, Huo Junyao also quickly wrote down the list of items needed for this purchase.

There are two pieces in total, the first one is the ingredients, chicken feet, duck feet, beef, tripe, beef tongue, beef tendons, and sheep hooves.

They are all animals that go into the water, and they are rarely things that people need.

As soon as I saw her writing this, the eldest princess immediately thought of hot pot.

But when she saw the second picture, the eldest princess frowned.

"Star anise, fennel, tangerine peel."

"Aren't these all medicinal materials? Yaoyao, why did you buy these medicinal materials? Is it because you feel uncomfortable there?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao was startled at first, and then remembered that there were still many things in Yu Chao that had not yet been fully developed. Most of what she had written so far were still used by drug stores.

"Mom, I'm fine. I use these to make delicious food."

"Can medicinal herbs be used to make delicious food?"

Huo Junyao didn't know how to explain it to her.

"Mom, don't worry. I can still deceive you. I will be the first to taste it when I make it. It will definitely have a unique flavor and is not a hot pot dish at all."

The eldest princess still believed in her daughter's cooking skills. After confirming again and again that she was not suffering from a physical condition, she said no more.

"Aunt Zhao, you first go and get ten dollars and give it to Aunt Xi, and ask her to arrange for someone to buy it."

Huo Junyao's villa currently only costs more than two dollars. Although the things she wants to buy are not too expensive, she can't let people have no money at all, right?
She, a mother-in-law, can't stand it.

Not long after, Grandma Xi left with the money and immediately arranged for people to go shopping. Before she left, she also told her that if she could buy more of those animals, she should buy as much as possible. It would be best if she could contact a long-term supplier. .

"Yes, prepare more. These are all good things. Don't worry you won't be able to finish them all. Especially the duck intestines, tripe and so on. Remember to buy more."

The eldest princess now likes these two things very much.

That afternoon, Grandma Xi bought a lot of things. In addition to the materials used to make brine, there were a lot of animals in the water.

Chicken feet and duck feet each weighed more than ten kilograms, three beef tongues, three tripes, more than 20 kilograms of beef tendons, and more than 40 sheep's hooves.

Looking at the materials, Huo Junyao said with some regret, "It's a pity that there are no pig ears or pig heads."

There are not many pig farmers in Yu Chao, and it is almost impossible to see pig farmers.

Almost no one eats pork. She asked Xiaochan and Hongxiu that this pork was considered cheap meat in the Yu Dynasty and had a very fishy taste. This taste was different from the mutton smell and was more difficult to eat. Swallow that kind.

Normally, ordinary people would not eat this stuff. Even if they are too hungry to bear it, they would rather eat wild vegetables than eat this stuff.

Huo Junyao, a person from later generations, didn't understand their reasons.

These people think that pork is low-class meat. This kind of meat can only be eaten by those with low-class status or slave status. If people with good status eat it, it is equivalent to a direct reduction in status.

She would rather starve to death than eat, she couldn't understand.

But it also reflects from the side how clear the hierarchy of ancient society was.

She naturally knows the cause of the fishy smell of the pork, but she has no way to deal with it yet. After all, that thing requires castration of piglets. She knows it, but she can't, and visually, people like Yu Chao don't do it either. Easy to find.

"What, you have nothing to eat? You actually want to eat pork?"

The eldest princess was a little angry. She really couldn't understand her daughter.

She won't talk about getting these animals into the water and cooking them as delicacies. After all, this stuff tastes really good.

But pork, she couldn't accept it no matter what. "Mom, you really underestimate this pork. It is a very good thing, but few people know how to breed it."

"Let me tell you, once someone figures out how to breed it, this pork will surely become a frequent guest on the tables of the common people and nobles for hundreds of years and thousands of years to come."

Seeing that she was serious, the eldest princess raised her eyebrows. To be honest, she still somewhat believed it.

After all, my daughter can even make delicacies like hot pot from animals that have been despised by hundreds or thousands of people. It's just pork. I believe she also has the ability to turn rotten food into something magical.

"Then do you know how to breed?"

"I know for sure."

Huo Junyao nodded without hesitation.

"Then you figure it out and we'll promote it."

"I'm afraid this won't work. This thing requires a very special craftsman."

"Oh? Tell me, maybe mom can help you look for it. Besides, you forgot that your dad is the Minister of Industry, and he has many craftsmen under him."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao pondered for a moment and felt that this thing really seemed worth a try. If it could be worked out, there might be a lot of delicious food in the future.

Twice-cooked pork, salt-fried pork, stewed pork belly, braised pork, ribs, etc.

"If you want to get rid of the fishy smell of pork, you have to start with the piglets. You only need to castrate these piglets."

When she said castration, the eldest princess and others' eyebrows jumped and they stared at her with strange expressions.

That look seemed to be asking, are you being too cruel?Did the pig mess with you?

After understanding the meaning in their eyes, Huo Junyao also noticed the black line on her forehead.

"I'm telling the truth. This not only removes the fishy smell of the pork, but also allows the pig to grow meat faster. It's like a toy to produce one or two hundred pounds of meat in a few months."

"And this thing is very easy to feed. It is easy for ordinary people to raise two or three pigs. If you raise them for a year, then a pig will be at least [-] kilograms. How much meat is this?"

The eldest princess's face suddenly became a little shocked.

If, as my daughter said, it can remove the fishy smell of pork, then this thing is really a good thing.

"Is this thing expensive? And is it easy to make a living?"

"I don't know if it's expensive or not. Why don't you ask Grandma Xi to find someone to find out? As for feeding, as long as castration is okay, then you can feed her with some weeds, wheat bran, etc., but the growth rate is relatively fast. Maybe a little slower.”

"But after one year, I still have to weigh more than 200 kilograms."

The eldest princess nodded, wondering if she should write a letter to the emperor's brother and ask him to lend it to two people?

But there is some question as to whether the people in this cleansing room are competent.

"Mom, can you find a craftsman in this field? If possible, we can get some piglets to try. This is really good stuff."

"This mother needs to ask someone, but it's hard to say whether it can be done."

"Oh, then there's Lao Niang. I'm going to the kitchen to make some things now. I'll prepare some things first so that you can try a bunch of new delicacies tomorrow."

After that, she got up and went to the kitchen directly.

To make braised food, you must first boil the brine, which takes time. You should be able to prepare the brine tonight, and you can simply braise some things tomorrow.
