The reason why foie gras can become the top western cuisine is that the foie gras produced in the west is not ordinary foie gras, but a very large special foie gras, which can also be understood as fatty foie gras. The method is very cruel, and it is a great physical devastation for geese.

Everyone knows that the naturally grown goose has a very small liver, and the taste is quite general, but the western goose liver is very large. A complete goose liver weighs about 700-800 grams, which is about a pound and a half. Such a huge foie gras occupies a large part of a goose’s body, which seriously exceeds the size of the liver. The damage to the goose’s body is obvious.

The technique of making this kind of foie gras is also very simple and cruel, that is, when the normal goose grows to ten all around, it begins to forcefully feed, about 3 weeks, every day all 3 About the second time, the so-called gavage is to use a tube to reach the goose’s stomach, and then infuse a large amount of prepared corn into the goose’s stomach, so that a large amount of excess fat accumulates in its liver, and then A hypertrophic liver grows.

The huge liver of a goose’s body is a kind of fatty liver. Even if this goose is not killed, it will not survive for too long. Lifespan is much less than ordinary goose. However, the purpose of breeding this goose is to take foie gras. In this way, no one will consider the lifespan of the goose. After all, in the eyes of humans, goose is a kind of food that’s all, there is nothing at worst, even if let goose eat too much bitter, it should be.

The cost of foie gras is high, because the whole goose is to take one liver, and the remaining body parts are not valuable. However, the proportion of foie gras in the body of the goose is at least much higher than the proportion of the fish brain in the body of the fish. Therefore, the cost of foie gras is relatively good, at least more reliable than eating fish brain tofu.

Westerners are usually reluctant to eat foie gras because they are not rich enough, or the bottom people in the West are not very rich, and there are many places that need to spend money. That’s a bit better, if you eat foie gras as a meal every day, the average ordinary 100 people really can’t afford it, especially the top big foie gras, the price is even higher.

If Li An wants to eat top-grade foie gras, the difficulty is not that big. After all, there are many surnames of 100 surnames in the Great Tang Empire, but Great Tang does not have the custom of eating foie gras, nor does it have the technology to produce fat foie gras. If you want to eat foie gras, you must tell the production technology of this kind of foie gras to ordinary surnames, and let them be responsible for the production.

According to the production process of foie gras, it takes at least 4 months to eat foie gras, but most of the ready-made adult geese can be taken directly for use, so it only takes 2 3 weeks. Fatty foie gras can be made.

And it is about this time before the New Year, so as long as Li An starts now, then, during the New Year, you can let yourself eat delicious foie gras.

Li An can raise geese in his own house. However, the area is relatively limited. Ordinary 100 surnames can be used to help breeding. The effect will be better. Just give a special tube to the 100 surnames and let the 100 surnames force feed as required That’s it.

This can be left to the servant, and Li An does n’t need to do it himself. After all, there are many people who breed big geese in Beijing. Just find a few hundred and then just follow Li An ’s method. Very convenient and simple.

There is one last type of top food in Europe, that is caviar. It ’s not a big deal to hear the name. Caviar is available everywhere. It ’s not unusual. Caviar does n’t seem to be at worst.

But European caviar is not a caviar of ordinary fish, but an egg of sturgeon. It is a precious fish. At the beginning, it was a fisherman on the Volga. And the love of ordinary old performance, which later spread to France, is regarded as a treasure.

Because only sturgeons over the age of 60 can make top-grade caviar, the production of caviar is very limited, and as a result, the price of caviar remains high.

Li An has eaten a lot of caviar, but they are all the caviar of carp and crucian carp, the sturgeon caviar, no matter whether it has been tasted in previous life and this life, this must be said to be a great regret.

The Great Tang actually has sturgeon. It lives in the Yangtze River of the Great Tang. It is called the Chinese sturgeon. It is the largest fish in the Yangtze River. The male fish has a weight of 200 kg, while the largest one can have 500 jin. It looks like a very large fish.

Sturgeon is a large migratory fish. Usually, the Chinese sturgeon inhabits the coastal continental shelf from the west coast of North Korea in the north to the southeast coast of China in the south. After living in the ocean for 9 to 8 years, when the gonadal development is close to maturity, it will migrate to the Yangtze River in groups, reaching the upper Yangtze River and the lower Jinsha River to breed.

Every summer and autumn, they gather at the mouth of the Yangtze River, tracing the river to the Jinsha River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to spawn, and the young sturgeon down the river to the Eastern Sea, which grows in the deep water of the Yellow Sea.

In the spawning population, males are generally 9 to 20 years old and females are 6 to 2 19 years old. The Chinese sturgeon also has a large spawning volume. A female sturgeon can produce 1000000 pieces of roe at a time, but the survival rate is not high, and the final adult is still a small number.

After spawning, the female broodstock soon descended into the river. The spawned eggs adhered to the rocks or gravel at the bottom of the river. Under the condition of seventeen-eighteen degrees of water temperature, the fertilized eggs hatched after about 5 6 days and nights, just after the membrane The larvae have huge yolk sacs, resembling tadpoles, drifting down the water, and start feeding after about 3 days.

In the spring of the following year, the young sturgeon gradually descended into the river, and appeared in the Yangtze River estuary from May to August. After September, the young sturgeon, which had reached 5 cm in length, left the shallow water tidal flat of the Yangtze River estuary for cultivation and growth. The Chinese sturgeon lifespan can reach 8 Years old is a kind of fish with a relatively high lifespan, and it has a longer life than many animals raised by humans. Moreover, it is still wild. If it is artificially cultivated, the lifespan of the sturgeon may break through 9 years old.

However, the Chinese sturgeon is a first-class key wildlife protection in the later generations of China. It is known as the giant panda in the water. No one dares to kill the Chinese sturgeon, otherwise it is a death penalty. No one dared to talk about this issue, so as not to cause trouble to themselves.

However, Li Shizen has a record on Compendium of Medicinal Herbs, saying that the liver of Chinese sturgeon can treat scabies, fish flesh can make up for the deficiency of Qi, and the body is healthy. The roe is as big as the small beans, and eating can kill the small ones in the stomach. Insects, in short, are very certain of this food, but do not know how it tastes compared to European caviar.

For comparison, it is also very simple. Catch the Chinese sturgeon and take its caviar to make caviar. Then, go to the Volga River to catch the sturgeon. Also take its caviar to make caviar. Compare the 2 caviar and compare , You should be able to compare who is better.

Chinese sturgeon is easy to handle, as long as the fishermen are ordered to fish in the river, they will always get it, and the sturgeon on the Volga River is not so easy to obtain. After all, the Volga River is still in Europe, and it is too far away from the Great Tang. Now The railway hasn’t passed through yet, and it may be very difficult to sturgeon from there.

At least, the 100 surnames of Great Tang have not yet pursued caviar. So, even if there are merchants of Great Tang near the Volga River, they are reluctant to transport sturgeon back to Great Tang within 1000 miles because there is no profit. Not a fool, how could it be possible to do something that does not benefit?

Speaking of the three great foods in Europe, truffles are just a wild fungus, foie gras is just a part of the body of ordinary poultry, and caviar is just the roe of sturgeon, it seems not at all something special, but it is because of its rarity and upper layer The pursuit of, so that these seemingly inconspicuous food has become the top luxury ingredients, have to sigh.

Before the New Year, Li An wanted to get caviar, so he could only go fishing in the Yangtze River, and truffles could be sent to Lingnan to find. Before the New Year, get a horse back to Chang’an, It shouldn’t be a big problem As for the hypertrophic foie gras, it is not difficult to start feeding as soon as required. Before the New Year, at least a pound of fat goose liver can be fed, which is 3 times larger than normal foie gras without pressure.

This New Year’s Eve, these 3 top-class delicacy, Li An must be eaten, but also to allow their families to taste these Western top-level delicacy, so in the New Year’s situation, Li An has been Dispatched a few men and women to set off, I believe these servants will be able to handle the errands they account for.

And Li An also frequently took time to hunt, sometimes he went alone, or about an individual, Li Yu often accompanied Li An to hunt together.

When Li An goes out hunting alone, the harvest is always very rich. After all, Li An has secret weapons in his hands, and when he goes out with Li Yu, Li An often does not use his secret weapons or can only secretly There will always be restrictions on its use, and the harvest will be relatively less.

In order to protect the limited wild animal resources, in many cases, Li An will leave a way out to the wild animals in groups, for example, it is clear that it can catch a dozen of them, and only stop killing 2 or 3, so stop it. This population can reproduce better.

Of course, if an animal with extremely high reproductive ability, Li An is not so soft-handed. For animals with extremely strong reproductive ability, such as hares, one breeding is one litter, and the number is very large, especially in rugged mountainous areas. It is absolutely impossible to kill hares, unless it takes effort to destroy the forest, so it is possible to exterminate the rabbit community. After all, rabbits cannot survive in Desert and cities. Only the wild environment such as forests is their survival. Ground.

The most likely weather in winter is snowy weather, and especially when the weather is extremely cold, the ground snow will take many days to melt completely, and if continuous snowfall is encountered, it is very likely that the original snowfall has not yet melted The phenomenon of new snowfall covering it again has caused great troubles for the travel of ordinary 100 people.

After all, if the road surface is full of snow, the resistance of the vehicle is very large. The sled is suitable for traveling in the snow, but in the capital of Great Tang, most people use vehicles, and there are not many sleds. No matter how much snow there is, there is not snow everywhere, and there are many others that are artificially damaged, that is to say, the snow is not stable, especially inside the capital, as soon as there is snow on each road, Imperial The Court will organize a large amount of manpower to clean up the snow, so that the main roads in Beijing do not have snow, which will meet the convenience of the old 100 people. In this case, there are sledges and hairs, which are simply not available in the city. .

In addition, on the main roads outside the city, there will also be personnel from the Imperial Court for snow removal work. Even the Imperial Court section of the capital is equipped with advanced snow removal vehicles.

There are many ways to clear snow. For example, you can sprinkle salt on the road surface, which is conducive to the fusion of ice cubes. You can also use hot water to rinse the snow. The fused snow will soon flow into the 2 side trenches, and will not be in the An ice layer is formed on the road surface, and in addition, fire roasting can also be used.

Of course, the cheapest and most reliable method is to use manpower to pile the thick snow on the 2 sides of the truth. This method is the most economical and environmentally friendly. The only drawback is that it is too laborious. Estimate, clean up After finishing a road, the person responsible for cleaning can be exhausted and half dead.

However, in the capital of Great Tang, the most important thing is the manpower. So many 100 surnames and military bureaucracy can be used to support a fixed number of professionals.

For example, a section of snow at the door of each 100 surname must be responsible for cleaning itself. In addition, each household must also deploy personnel to clean up the snow on the large and small cross streets. As for the snow on the main road, there will be someone Specially organized to temporarily recruit idle old 100 surnames and give them certain remuneration to help these 100 surnames help clear the snow.

For the snow on the road outside the city, the army and the government are responsible for it, and it can also recruit ordinary ordinary 100 people who are idle, so that the number of people is strong, and they can finish the work faster and better.

This winter, it has snowed a lot of snow, but the days near the New Year, a bigger university, the snow is thick and thick, which makes the relevant section of the Imperial Court very busy, recruiting everywhere Ordinary 100 old people who are free to organize more manpower and strive to clean up the road earlier so that vehicles can pass through the city normally.

In addition, many businessmen have also begun to donate money and materials, even directly to ordinary old 100 surnames, so that old 100 surnames can take action to clean up the road as soon as possible. After all, once the road is blocked by snow, the merchant ’s goods It will not be able to circulate smoothly, so not only will it be impossible to make money, it may even cause very serious economic losses due to the backlog of goods.
