Datang: God-level Choice

The female relatives have all gone to the side to talk privately about their daughter's family, and the rest Qin Huaidao and Li Er and their husband-in-law are chatting nonsense here.

"The first batch of super hybrid rice planted is about to mature and harvest soon. Don't your father-in-law want to witness it in person?"

Qin Huaidao smiled slightly.

"It's the Jiahe that my virtuous son-in-law said last time, which can produce many kilograms per mu before."

0 Li Er was overjoyed when he saw Qin Huaidao's sure look.

Although potatoes have been gradually promoted, the people of the Tang Dynasty are not too active, and more of them regard potatoes as dishes, and their acceptance as a staple food needs to be improved.

But rice is different. It was originally the staple food of the common people.

The Guanzhong area, which used to be a perennial drought, was rich in the national treasury, and with the emergence of concrete materials, a large number of water conservancy measures were built, and now the situation has eased a lot.

Especially this year, the weather is beautiful. Since the beginning of spring, the rain has been abundant, which has provided extremely convenient conditions for the cultivation of rice in Guanzhong.

Grain is the foundation of the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Li Er has always attached great importance to the guarantee of grain. Now that he hears that the per mu of rice is about to be harvested, he is full of anticipation.

"Compared to rice, my son-in-law has a new gift for my father-in-law."

Qin Huaidao said with a smile

"what gift"

Li Er looked expectantly

"Today's sky is dark and one night, tomorrow, my father-in-law can see this gift, and you can also do it yourself."

Qin Huaidao snickered secretly in his heart, he already had a plan to deceive the unscrupulous old father-in-law

Chapter [-]: Li Er, the first pig butcher in the Tang Dynasty

(Fourth more! Ask for full order!)

"My son-in-law, you can tell me now, what is the other gift you want to give me?"

After breakfast, Li Er could no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart.

"It's actually very simple, it's just a special kind of hog"

Qin Huaidao said with a smile

"This thing is ugly and dirty. My son-in-law actually took it as a gift. Could it be a pig fairy?"

Li Er said with a look of disgust.

Qin Huaidao was speechless and shrugged his shoulders. Li Er is definitely a good-looking person, and he directly brought the Tang Dynasty into a society where people are judged by their appearance.

In addition to being talented, the officials who can be admired by Li Er are also very important in their appearance. I'm sorry for being too long. The audience was basically brushed down by the prefects and magistrates of various states and counties in the first round of the imperial examination, including the livestock here. the same

The reason why people in Datang don’t eat pork is not only because the breeds of pigs are not good at present and they are not well raised, but also because the breeding techniques are not good.

And the standard of meat and fishy in the Tang Dynasty is also very strange, cattle cannot be eaten, and slaughtering cattle without permission is a serious crime, even if it is a natural death of cattle, it must be reported to the government. punishment

Horse meat is unaffordable, and a batch of ordinary horses costs about two yuan: and horse meat is sour, it is not delicious at all, so few people eat horse meat.

As for chickens and ducks, strangely, they are not considered meaty in the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the meaty meat in the Tang Dynasty is mainly sheep, plus some deer and rabbits that are occasionally hunted, so eating meat is not enough. became a very rare thing

Historically, the large-scale consumption of pork is also thanks to Su Dongpo, a famous student who was relegated to Huangzhou. The reason why Su Dongpo ate pork was because he was poor and had no choice, and he liked delicious food, so he began to study pork. cooking method

In fact, dishes made of pork are much more popular than beef and mutton, and the cost of raising pigs on a large scale is much lower than that of cattle and sheep, making them more suitable for flying into the homes of ordinary people.

The meaning of the simplified Chinese character 家 is to raise a pig in a cave house, which has become a symbol of a wealthy family.

"Father-in-law, it's just because the way pigs are raised is not appropriate. In fact, when cooked, pork tastes much stronger than beef and mutton."

Qin Huaidao said with a smile

Qin Huaidao is very familiar with the cooking of pork and can't be more familiar with it. He can say dozens of tricks casually, tossing out a table full of pigs.

"real"

Li Er hesitated for a moment and said, he has experienced Qin Huaidao's cooking skills several times, and he is much better than the royal chef in the palace. Coupled with Qin Huaidao's various glorious achievements, he has a little more trust in his heart.

Could it be that the pig Qin Huaidao wanted to recommend to Li Er was more mysterious than ordinary pigs. "Of course, and this pig is very useful. The bristles can be used as brushes to clean the barrels of guns, the skins of pigs can be used as boots, and pork is rare. tasty

The most important thing is that pigs are omnivorous animals. They only need bran and bean dregs and some wild vegetables and water plants. They can be fed to more than [-] kilograms in ten months. Even ordinary people can afford to raise a pig. , If it is air-dried and waxed, meat dishes can be seen on the table for a year.”

"The most important thing is that this sow thief can give birth, and a litter of more than a dozen piglets is not a problem at all. Raising pigs can not only be delicious, but also profitable."

Empress Zhangsun, Li Lizhi and others on the side took a bite, and they also became curious in their hearts.

Could it be that Qin Huaidao can really make any tricks out of pork? Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "In today's Datang poor people, there are also pigs, but the breeds and feeding methods are not perfect, so the pigs raised look dirty and smelly. , each is relatively small”

"In this case, it's a big event that benefits the country and the people, but is this pork really delicious?"

Li Er pondered for a while.

He has always claimed to be an emperor who loves his people like a son, and he has some understanding of the lives of the people. He naturally understands what it means for the people to have a meat dish on the table.

This is already a higher level of enjoyment than the abundance of food and clothing, and it belongs to the well-off level of the Datang version.

"Father-in-law might as well go along with your son-in-law to meet him."

Qin Huaidao said with a smile, the previous system reward, but there are ten ready-made pigs, you can show your cooking skills well
