The vendors and passers-by in the West Market felt that something was different today. A team of policemen came outside the market and used ropes to create an open space.
Just outside the west market square gate, along the square wall, after opening up the open space, another group of craftsmen came, taking bricks and stones there and not knowing what they were stacking.
The vendors and passers-by looked confused, and some even ran to complain, saying that someone was actually repairing things outside the wall of the shop.
After all, according to Tang law, the square walls are not allowed to be destroyed or anything built based on the square walls.
Firstly, it is for the safety of the square wall, and secondly, it is to prevent thieves from sneaking into the square at night and stealing.
However, soon, the officers posted the notices. Those were just the stoves that Chang'an County was ordered to build.
The notice also stated in detail that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised a hundred castrated pigs last year.
Nowadays, the castrated pigs have matured. Not only are the castrated pigs much fatter and stronger than before, but the meat is also tender and delicious, without any fishy smell.
In order to promote the method of castrated pig breeding and win the trust of the people, the court allowed the people to see the fatness of the castrated pigs and taste the deliciousness of the castrated pork.
So the decision was made for the upcoming banquet of a hundred pigs given by the prince to the people on August 28th. And these stoves were built for this banquet of the people.
The next day, the sales volume of each issue of "Chang'an Xunbao" fluctuated between 120,000 and 30,000 copies.
The words in bold and black put the prince's gift of a hundred pigs and a banquet to all the people on the most eye-catching front page.
Everyone who bought the newspaper was immediately attracted by this very novel and new title.
When I saw the very exaggerated words in it, there were also reports on the application of castration technology and the growth and development of castrated pigs.
Whether it was the court officials, scholars, traders or ordinary literate people, they all knew the news.
That is on August 28th, outside the east and west cities of Chang'an, a grand banquet will be held for the prince to give a hundred pigs to the people.
No matter who you are, as long as you show up, you can taste delicious food cooked by castrated pigs for free.
In addition, you can also enjoy the posters on the technique of castrating pigs and the benefits of castrating pigs...
Of course, it was also mentioned at the end that the organizer and host of this banquet were Dongshi Chengjia Restaurant. He also gave a reminder.
On the day of the banquet, the West City Chengjia Restaurant will have a grand opening. At that time, both Chengjia Restaurants will have a variety of delicious pork dishes.
And a 20% discount event will be held on the day of the Hundred Pigs Feeding Ten Thousand People Banquet, which will last until the first day of September.

Master Xu and four other painters signed a teacher employment contract with Cheng Chubi, the president of Cheng University, witnessed by His Highness King Wu of the Tang Dynasty.
There are two copies of the teacher employment contract, one copy will be kept by Master Xu and other candidates, and the other copy will be kept by the school.
After the ink dried and everyone put away the contract with satisfaction, Master Xu stood up and said happily.
"Today is really a good time for people to be in high spirits, and everything is fine. Today I am the old man, and I would like to invite Principal Cheng and His Highness King Wu to join you..."
When Cheng Chubi heard the title of principal, he couldn't help but feel secretly proud. After all, those who can become principals are extraordinary people.
I have been a student for almost twenty years, but I never expected that one day I would finally turn over and become the master, er, the principal.
But when he thought of the big thing to do next, Cheng Chubi quickly interrupted.
"Thank you Master Xu for your kindness, but today is not the time. There are still important matters that have not been resolved today."
"And this matter happens to be related to your specialties."
Hearing these words, Master Xu laughed happily. "Since we are already under Principal Cheng's command, we naturally have to obey Principal Cheng's orders."
The four put away their employment contracts, and the satisfied painters expressed their willingness to serve the principal.
"The thing is like this, Cheng needs a batch of propaganda posters, mainly showing pigs and people..."
Painter Wang, who was best at humans and animals, laughed and stood up with a proud look on his face.
In this era, no one is better at drawing humans and animals than me, no one.
"Since he is a human beast, then Wang volunteered."
"???" Cheng Chubi and Li Ke looked at this proud and proud Painter Wang with dark expressions on their faces. What a god-like human beast...
Cheng Chubi almost spit out sparks from his nostrils, if he hadn't been worried that using his hands and feet would affect the harmony of the teaching team.
I really want to grab this guy's neck and push him to the ground to rub him.
I want to do publicity to promote positive energy, not to promote those crooked things, do you know that?!
Li Ke saw Brother Chu Bi's expression and quickly took a step forward to declare.
"Thank you for your recommendation, Painter Wang, but not only you, but Master Xu and three other painters also need help."
"But I'm not good at humans and beasts..." Painter Dong spread his hands helplessly.
Cheng Chubi took a deep breath with a dark face before opening his mouth to explain.
"We need images to promote the breeding of castrated pigs, for example, people feeding the pigs.
People are castrating piglets, and people are letting castrated pigs out in the countryside."
When Master Xu heard this, he twitched his long beard with a bit of embarrassment and laughed.
You're really overthinking this, and you're right. Principal Cheng can't hire himself and others just to draw inappropriate things for students to see all day long, right?
"I see, then we can still be of help. After all, as long as the drawings are not too detailed, the beasts we paint are still pleasing to the eye."
"That's no problem. Dear brother, could you please go into the East Palace first and tell His Highness that I can invite these five painters to follow me to the dining room to paint."
Li Ke was right. Those fat and strong castrated pigs were all in the East Palace.
We can't slowly and leisurely bring those castrated pigs here to paint.
That would be too much of a delay, as there are only a few days left until August 28th.
"Okay, little brother, I will go over and inform my elder brother first." Li Ke nodded slightly towards the five painters and hurried away.
After leaving the Duke Lu's Mansion, he saw Fang Jun standing outside the Duke Lu's Mansion with a hesitant look on his face. Li Ke couldn't help but feel happy.
"Brother Jun, why are you here? Haven't you been grounded by the prime minister these days?"
Seeing Li Ke, Fang Jun quickly stepped forward, saluted and smiled.
"It turns out it was for Brother De. My father had already lifted the ban for me and said he wanted me to walk around more with Brother Chu Bi."
"I wanted to see if I could learn some skills from Brother Chu Bi."
"Then why are you wandering outside?" Li Ke looked at Fang Junqi in confusion.
"Brother, I'm not worried about going in straight and coming out sideways." Fang Jun said with some embarrassment.
Li Ke chuckled and patted Fang Jun on the shoulder with his big hand. "It's not even noon yet, and it's still early for Uncle Cheng and the others to return home."
