After hearing the advice given by his craftsmen, Du Shaofu once again turned his expectant eyes to Cheng Chubi.
"It's no problem. I will hand over the design drawings of these two things to the Shaofu Supervisor later."
After Cheng Chubi said a few more casual words, he frequently looked to the side. When he saw Li Shimin's gaze, he couldn't help but step forward to remind him.
"Uncle, if I don't have anything to do, I'll go and get started first. I have to stew the meat first. There are still a lot of ingredients that need to be processed. Let's talk later?"
Li Shimin helplessly raised his hand and waved at him, letting Cheng Sanlang, who was preoccupied with pigs, jump to the side.
After chatting with Mr. Du for a few more words, Mr. Du led the skilled craftsmen with satisfaction and reluctantly left.
The remaining people stood there and looked at each other in silence. Li Ke touched his nose and couldn't help feeling deeply regretful. He had seen that bellows at Lao Cheng's house before.
However, he didn't think those messy things in the kitchen would be good treasures.
If he knew, he wouldn't be able to make his presence felt in front of his biological father, and he might be able to gain some benefits.
Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but clenched his hands into fists. Next time, he must find out anything strange around Brother Chu Bi.
It’s okay if it’s not a treasure. If it is a treasure, tut tut…
Ma Zhou looked at Cheng Sanlang, who was not far away and was ordering the cooks of Dianshan Kitchen around.
He shook his head in disbelief.
"I didn't expect that when I accompanied His Majesty to the East Palace, I didn't even taste a bite of the pork. Instead, I let the Young Master take advantage of it first."
These words made Li Shimin burst out laughing, very satisfied with his divine prophecy.
After Ma Zhou secretly exchanged a few words with Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to do here for now. Why don't we go back to Li Zheng Palace to play chess and wait for the pork delicacies cooked by Cheng Sanlang?"
"Very good, then let this all be in the past." Li Shimin nodded with deep understanding.
"Your Majesty, I would like to stay here and see how Cheng Sanlang handles and cooks the castrated pigs."
After hearing what Ma Zhou said, Li Shimin readily agreed and his eyes fell on Li Ke.
Li Ke understood. "Father, please stay here too. The child is familiar with Brother Chu Bi's methods and will just have a good chat with Ma Shilang."

Brothers Cheng Li and Cheng Ji were working on the internal organs, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, etc. inside the pig's belly.
By the way, he was guiding the handyman next to him who was handling pig intestines, sausages, etc.
Cheng Chubi, on the other hand, was instructing the handymen to pour the prepared pig blood into the processed small intestine.
Seeing that everything was going well there, he took four pig's trotters and pig's face, came to the stove, and began to burn the hair that was difficult to deal with.
As for the old stove of Dianshan Kitchen, the meat has already been stewed. This is used to make Roujiamo. As for the braised pork, it will have to wait a while.
Even Deng Chengxin was frying the suet carefully.
After a short while, the rich aroma of oil and meat began to overflow from the Dianshan kitchen.
Next to him, Li Ke patiently explained to Ma Zhou which part of the pig tasted best.
Of course, the words that came out of Li Ke's mouth, who kept swallowing his saliva, were always...
"I have eaten this pig intestine before. It is very delicious and chewy. If it is made into crispy large intestine, it will become very crispy and salty. In short, it is very suitable for drinking..."
"The pork kidney must be processed cleanly, otherwise the fishy smell will be strong, but after processing, the taste of the palace pao kidney is absolutely unparalleled..."
Ma Zhou couldn't help but swallow his saliva frequently after hearing this. "Well, can your Highness say something else?"
"Others? Oh, for example, pig skins. If you cut them into strips or dices, boil them and put them in an ice kiln.
Use minced garlic and vinegar to serve it cold, it is definitely a very refreshing cold dish, and there is also the pig's trotters that Brother Chu Bi is processing now."
"Don't look at how ugly that thing is. Once it's done, it tastes so good that you'll want to eat it once and think about it again..."
"No, no, no, Ma doesn't mean the food, but whether the raising of the castrated pigs is suitable for ordinary people to raise..."
Li Ke suddenly understood and couldn't help but feel happy. "So this is what you are talking about. There is no problem with the common people raising their own food. As for the feed, Xiao Wang also heard Brother Chu Bi mention it."
"The main thing is to mix green feed with bone meal, soybean meal, and distiller's grains. In addition, a certain proportion of grain must be added, but the proportion is not much."
"Feed the pigs with grain?" Ma Zhou's face suddenly looked a little ugly.
Cheng Chubi had just finished handling the pig's head and trotters, and when he heard Ma Zhou's words, he immediately became unhappy.
"Do you think there is a problem, Mr. Ma? Today, five kilograms of feed only contains one kilogram of grain..."
Although Cheng Chubi's words were a bit rude, how much does a pound of grain cost, and how much does a pound of meat cost?
Is it more nutritious to eat a pound of meat or a pound of soybeans or other staple foods?
Such an obvious question made Ma Zhou unable to say anything about it.
"Thank you Cheng Taichang, Ma has learned a lesson."
I saw that Ma Zhou did not babble like those tough-tongued civil servants even if they ignored him, but instead admitted his mistakes so happily.
This made Cheng Chubi have a great impression of Ma Zhou, a famous Zhenguan official from a poor family.
"Ma Shilang doesn't have to be like this. In fact, it was in the feed ratio that Cheng originally made.
Grain should account for 60%, that is, three kilograms of feed is almost two kilograms of grain."
Having said this, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but sniff a bit sadly. The smell of lard was really mouth-watering.
"But considering that our country in the Tang Dynasty is not rich in food, we have greatly reduced the food content in the feed. Otherwise...
If we can breed good pigs and feed them more grain, the pigs will grow faster.
About eight months, I’m afraid it’s not 300 pounds, but it’s 2780 pounds.”
"It won't be like now, one year and three months, only two hundred and twenty or thirty pounds. It's just a waste of my time..."
"...Three hundred pounds?" Li Ke and Ma Zhou both looked at Cheng Chubi with a look of sorrow on their faces, feeling that this guy was bragging.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it, but it doesn't matter. From now on, it will be in Cheng University.
I want to develop an animal husbandry discipline, which involves selecting and breeding improved species and how to raise them to maximize benefits."
Ma Zhou stared blankly at Cheng Chubi, who was much younger than himself, Cheng Sanlang.
I really can't understand why he has so many thoughts and ideas in his mind at such a young age.
Cheng Chubi also readily told Ma Zhou that the feed was a secret of his old Cheng family and would not be made public.
