Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 36 Killing Pigs

"The rest will be rewarded to you! Sir, although I am poor now, I will not treat those who help me badly."

Wan Fu was very happy when he got a reward of more than 500 Wen, and immediately thanked Qian'er: "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for the reward."

Xue Lang waved happily: "Mo Zhu counted the money for buying pigs to Wanfu. Wanfu can go to rest after taking the money. Call me when it's time to kill the pigs, and I'll go and have a look."

"Here."

Xue Lang was very happy because he bought a fat pig, so he called Changjian and asked him to go out and buy some baking soda for him tomorrow morning.Tomorrow, I don't need to go to the plantation, and I don't need to go to the meeting with Her Royal Highness, so I will hold a meeting with Cao's subordinates and organize craftsmen to make Quyuanli.

Probably because the biological clock had been adjusted, Xue Lang fell asleep on the bed.Lamei, who was waiting for the night, woke him up and said that Wanfu came to report that it was time to kill pigs.

Xue Lang quickly got up, dressed with Lamei's help, washed up hastily, and followed Wanfu out——

Xue Lang's father, whose hometown is in the countryside, has brought Xue Lang back several times, and he has seen the slaughter of pigs several times.I have always heard people say that the way the ancients killed pigs was different from that of modern people, that's why they didn't eat pork.

Xue Lang didn't believe it. Could it be possible to kill a pig?Now that he has traveled through time, it is just a matter of field inspection, how much he has the spirit of seeking knowledge.

Xue Lang clicked 32 likes for himself.

Xue Lang took Changjian and followed Wanfu out through the side door, the carriage that Wanfu had set up was already parked at the door.

Xue Lang got into the car, thinking that Wanfu really knew how to do things, and everything was ready.However, it is clear that Xue Lang did not enjoy his life——

The carriage is two-wheeled, and the road is a dirt road. No matter how flat it is, it can't compare with the concrete road, so this carriage ride is so sour!
Although the horse walked slowly, it swayed back and forth, making people very uncomfortable.Enduring the discomfort, Xue Lang imagined that this is walking slowly. If you run at a high speed when you are on the road... it is not impossible for your bones to fall apart.So, who is willing to travel across the country after crossing?Stand up and promise not to kill you!
Xue Lang decided that he would save money and build a carriage!Before solving the problem of ride comfort, if anyone asks him to travel far, he will be in a hurry with whom!
No wonder the ancients always said that the fatigue of the journey was very serious, but it turned out that they were just telling the truth, without any exaggeration-everyone would give up after being upside down for a few days.

Wanfu stored the pigs at the Huotou camp in the military camp. The soldiers in the Huotou camp are good at slaughtering livestock, so it is very suitable to store them here.

"Lang Jun, the little one asked Ah Zhou to help him slaughter, and promised to give him a hundred Wen for his hard work, which was already given yesterday."

"You're doing well, I know that."

"Your Majesty has a great reputation, I'm going to call Ah Zhou now."

Wanfu went in and called out a short and thick man with a beard. This man's beard was like Zhang Fei in the TV series. It grows like a circle of black fine burrs.

With such a unique beard, it looks like a butcher's material.Ah Zhou came over and bowed to Xue Lang: "Master Xue is good, I have wronged Master Xue, and there is no place to sit."

"You're welcome, I just have nothing to do to come and have a look, I'm sorry Zhou."

"Master Xue is being polite. So this is the beginning?"

"let's start."

Ah Zhou was obviously ready to kill the pig, and the boiling water was already boiling on the cauldron stand.He called out three strong men, and quickly put down the closed fat pig, tied the rope neatly, carried it out and put it away——

The fat pig let out a miserable scream, which attracted a group of people to watch and see them greet Ah Zhou, obviously they were all gangsters.

While arguing with his colleagues, Ah Zhou pulled out a lancet and stabbed at the pig's neck. A young man who had helped him tie up just now immediately took over the clay pot that was going to hold the pig's blood. The dark red pig's blood It sprayed out and flowed down along the crossing, except for some splashing on the ground, not a single drop got on Ah Zhou.

Obviously, there is no difference between killing pigs in ancient times and killing pigs in modern times.The reason why the ancients did not eat pork was obviously because of improper cooking.Think about the fact that the development of cooking technology is related to people's living standards. The cooking method of stir-frying was not available until the Song Dynasty.The seasonings that are commonly used in later generations are not used now, and many of them are still used as medicinal materials.

The cooking of pork, in the Tang Dynasty, who was not used to using many seasonings and could only cook and stew, how could it be delicious.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, in the modern age of rich and diverse cooking techniques, if you meet someone who can't cook, the fried pork will not taste good.Not to mention the Tang Dynasty!Therefore, it is still for the sake of cooking, and has nothing to do with the method of killing pigs.

After bloodletting and shaving... Ah Zhou led the people and got busy.

"Youyang!"

Suddenly hearing the voice of Her Highness the Princess, Xue Lang turned around quickly. Sure enough, Her Highness the Princess in military uniform was standing at the gate of the gang camp not far away, and did not come in: "Why are you here?"

There was a sense of embarrassment of being caught by someone who had done something bad, Xue Lang said embarrassedly: "Go back to Your Highness, I am watching the slaughter of pigs."

In other words, His Highness in military uniform is so handsome!What does it mean that a woman does not give way to a man, just look at His Highness and you will understand.Xue Lang felt a little itchy and really wanted to draw it!
"Kill pigs?"

"The subordinate asked Wanfu to go out and buy a fat pig yesterday, and asked Ah Zhou from the gang leader camp to help slaughter it."

Her Royal Highness nodded, and only told A Zhou: "A Zhou, if Master Xue has any orders, you should do your best."

"Here! Don't worry, general, I understand."

Princess Pingyang nodded, then turned around and took the people away, without asking Xue Lang why he bought the pig, or whether he wanted to kill and cook it.

The biggest official didn't say a word, and the rest naturally stopped talking about what they couldn't eat, and they all followed Princess Pingyang.

Xue Lang should thank Princess Pingyang for coming this time, no, the people in the gang leader camp are more careful and serious in their work, and their efficiency is very fast.It's not that they didn't do their best just now, but after all, they didn't pay attention to it now.

With Princess Pingyang's instructions, Xue Lang simply beat the snake and put it on the stick, and asked Azhou to help him divide the fat and lean meat, cut them up and send them to his mansion, leaving Wanfu to wait, with Changjian Go back first——

It's almost time for work.

After returning to the house for breakfast, Mo Zhu blocked him when he was about to go out: "Lang Jun!"

Imposing!

Xue Lang was taken aback: "Why?"

"Lang Jun went to see the butcher and was seen by the princess?"

"Yeah, it's probably because the pig screamed so badly that it attracted people here!"

Xue Lang was a little embarrassed, and originally wanted to keep a low profile.

Mo Zhu's face turned green, and he rushed over and took off Xue Lang's clothes. Xue Lang was startled, and pressed his belt tightly: "Mo Zhu, what do you want?"

While grabbing the belt from Xue Lang, Mo Zhu said: "Lang Jun went out to watch the slaughter of pigs, he must be bloody, Hurry up and change clothes!"

Hearing that this was the reason, Xue Lang let her do something, and changed into a robe again.

It is clear that there is no need to see Her Royal Highness today, it is fine to change it or not, but Mo Zhu insisted, of course Xue Lang did not have her understanding of the local situation, so he chose to listen to her opinion.
