The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu came directly under the shade of the tree with a bowl of sauerkraut noodles, put the noodles on the stone table, and put down a few cloves of garlic.

"Uncle, please try it." Li Fu handed the chopsticks to Li Yuan.

"Noodles?" Li Yuan looked at the noodles, then at Li Fu, and then his eyes fell on the big bowl of noodles.

"Yes, sauerkraut noodles, sauerkraut made of pork, with cucumber shreds at the bottom." Li Fu said: "A mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of garlic, I wouldn't trade it for a god."

"Give me a plate of your pervert." Li Yuan said: "Put more, I haven't eaten much in the palace recently."

"Okay, this thing, if you want to eat it, nephew will give you enough." Li Fu said with a smile.

"You kid, if you have enough, why don't you send more to the palace." Li Yuan said unhappily.

"For God's mercy, nephew really sent it." Li Fu said.

For the palace, no matter how much they gave, it was not too much. Besides, the business was not big now, and he had to make money.

"Okay, I know, I won't tease you anymore." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Then he picked up the chopsticks and took a chopstick of noodles.

The noodles were wrapped in rich sauce, with fine meat and cucumber shreds in the middle. When you take a bite, the noodles are chewy, the cucumber is refreshing, the meat is full of flavor, and the mouth is full of salty and fresh.

"Well~ Not bad." Li Yuan was full of praise.

"Take another bite of garlic." Li Fu reminded.

Li Yuan took a bite of noodles and a bite of garlic, and he got more and more addicted.

"Don't say, your noodles are better than the imperial chefs in the palace." Li Yuan said: "I have eaten a lot of noodles, but I have never eaten as much as you do."

At this time, Li Yuan was sweating profusely and didn't care about his image. He was like an old man from an ordinary family.

Li Fu came over with the egg and put it on the table. He also made himself a bowl of noodles. The uncle and nephew sat at the stone table under the shade of the tree and ate the noodles.

"The pork here is different from other places. It doesn't have such a strong fishy smell." Li Fu said.

"I just noticed it when you said that. I thought you used some sauce to cover up the smell." Li Yuan said.

After all, the meat sauce was covered with brown sauce. Li Yuan thought that it was because of the salt and soy sauce that covered up the fishy smell.

The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty liked to eat everything, including cranes, bears, deer, and even frog meat, but they just didn't like pork.

The most popular meat was naturally mutton.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records:

"Pigs eat anything, lie down anywhere, look at the sky, and walk like sick men. They are lustful, their meat is cold, and their appearance is extremely ugly. There is no animal worse than this. If people eat them, they may be infected by their nature."

In fact, it is also because there is no technology to castrate pigs nowadays. Pigs that have not been castrated have bad tempers, low meat yields, and people cannot afford to feed them if they eat too much.

Pork is a cheap food.

But after Li Fu made it, Li Yuan did not dislike it, otherwise he would not have picked up his chopsticks.

The child personally cooked for his elder, even if he was the emperor, even if the bowl was pork, so what?

But the taste was really beyond his expectation.

"I asked several families in the farm to raise pigs." Li Fu said, "When the farm is short of meat, we kill one and have something to eat. The weather is hot and the meat is hard to preserve, so we put it in the well and it can last for three to five days. As for the rest, we can't eat it all anyway, so we sell it cheaply to the farmers in the farm.

People can grow stronger and stronger by eating meat, and they can work more."

Li Yuan nodded.

If pig meat tastes like this, it is not impossible to eat it.

However, Li Fu is not short of money now, so why does he eat such cheap meat?

"If you want to eat meat, why don't you eat mutton?" Li Yuan asked.

He even thought in his heart that he would reward Li Fu with more mutton after returning to the palace.

"Different meats have different flavors." Li Fu said: "Compared to mutton, pork is less valuable and easier for the people to accept. I don't know about other places, but how many families in the village can afford to eat mutton? Even if they can afford a meal, it is a big expense for them.

With the money for this meal of mutton, they can buy some coarse cloth and make clothes for their children. For this set of clothes, they have to make bigger ones because they can be worn for many years, and even the older ones can wear the younger ones.

Three years new, three years old, and three years of mending."

Li Yuan knew that people's lives were not easy now, but he couldn't imagine how difficult it was.

He had never lived such a poor life.

In his life, the saddest thing when he was a child was that his father died.

The saddest thing when he was old wasSons killed each other.

These are all spiritual setbacks.

"If this piece of clothing is really unwearable, it will not be thrown away. It will be used for other things. It can be disassembled and used in the place where it can be used. If it is really unusable, it can be used to make some paste, sew a shoe sole, etc. Uncle, it is not easy for farmers, so who can afford to eat meat?"

Being in different environments, you see different things.

Even if Li Yuan wants to go to the grassroots, the officials will arrange it so that Li Yuan can see the best side.

Regarding these, what the people below want the people above to see is what the people above see.

When students take open classes, which open class talks about new content?

"My nephew asked several families to raise pigs on the farm and gave them money. After raising them, if the people here want to eat, they will give another sum of money and bring the pigs over to kill. Anyway, the farmers will not suffer any loss." Li Fu smiled.

Li Yuan nodded slowly.

If all pork tastes like this, it is not inedible.

"In fact, the seasoning is still a little bit worse. For example, the sauce is made with jiaojiang." Li Fu said.

This jiaojiang is not pure soy sauce.

The real soy sauce is made from fermented soybeans.

Li Fu thought that the Tang Dynasty should have soy sauce, which should be called clear sauce now, but later he asked Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao said that there was only this kind of jiaojiang.

"Are there better ingredients?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Yes, I will continue to study it when I have time later." Li Fu smiled.

"You said that you think about food all day long. Where did you come up with these foods?" Li Yuan looked at Li Fu curiously and asked the doubts in his heart.

"I saw it in the book." Li Fu smiled embarrassedly.

"Oh? You can see these in books? Although I am not as good as the great scholars of our time, I have also been reading since I was a child and have read countless books in my life, but I have never seen such novel foods recorded in a book." Li Fu said with a smile.
