Xiao Nan held the bowl and wolfed down the food, not even bothering to drink the wine.
On the side, two royal chefs were cutting mutton slices for him, and two royal chefs were grinding sesame paste for him.
Four people were waiting on him, but they almost couldn't serve him.
This guy didn't eat a single morsel of vegetables, he only ate mutton.
"Your Highness, don't just eat meat, you should also eat some vegetables so that your nutrition can be balanced."
Qin Yu drank wine and persuaded Xiao Nan.
But he regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xiao Nan's eight-foot-tall body, where is the lack of nutrition?
While chewing heavily, Xiao Nan explained: "Brother-in-law, if I only eat one ingredient at a time, then with so many ingredients, doesn't it mean that I can eat different delicacies in a month?"
Qin Yu: "..."
Shen Binglan: "......"
He is worthy of being called a prince, what a talent!
Who in the right mind would think this way?
Immediately afterwards.
Xiao Nan looked around and whispered: "Brother-in-law, how do you think the shabu-shabu beef tastes?"
Hear this.
Several of the imperial chefs trembled.
Qin Yu frowned slightly, "Your idea is very dangerous. Have you forgotten that you stole beef and were hung up and beaten by His Majesty?"
In this era, cows are precious.
Today is a small-scale peasant economy, and the main labor force in cultivating land is cattle. Cattle are the foundation of agriculture.
The Emperor of Wei subsidized the world and knew that the people were suffering and farming was not easy, so he hated those who killed cattle even more.
"Killing a horse or an ox is punishable by the same law as stealing." This is written into the law.
"Sufficient food is the basis for raising people, and livestock and cattle are especially the basis for farming..."
"The work of plowing is all done by the power of oxen. It must be taken care of and fed in time. It is not allowed to kill at will, which will hinder agricultural work..."
The protection of farm cattle is similar in all dynasties and generations, and the imperial court has spread the message more than once that people should cherish farm cattle.
Even when the prince Xiao Nan ate a plate of beef, Emperor Wei hung him up and beat him for a whole day.
This shows how much Emperor Wei hated those who killed and ate cattle.
This is why, after Qin Yu developed the Quyuan Li, Emperor Wei and the others were very excited.
That would be a great promotion to the development of farming.
Therefore, Xiao Nan's words were a bit more about eating than fighting.
"hehe......"
Xiao Nan smiled honestly, "Isn't this what I'm asking..."
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "I can tell you responsibly, it is very fragrant. You can try it if you have a chance. It has two different flavors from mutton. It is tender and smooth."
"Beef fat gizzard is the best, which is the sandwich meat from the belly of the beef. The meat is fatter and leaner. Rinse it for six seconds and take it out. Even without dipping it in sesame sauce, you can feel the fragrance and tenderness of the butter."
"There is also beef rump, which is tender and slightly chewy; there are also three-flower tendon and five-flower tendon, which are the toe meat of the cow. This meat is very rare because it contains beef tendons, so it is very elastic...
..”
Qin Yu explained it to Xiao Nan in detail.
Xiao Nan's eyes brightened and his throat rolled.
Qin Yu continued: "It's not just beef, but also beef tripe, which is boiled in all directions. It's really delicious to a person! There's also beef kidney, which only tastes good when it's rinsed...
..”
Xiao Nan listened and waved his hand, "Don't say it. Brother-in-law, please stop saying it. If you say it again, I won't be able to bear it anymore..."
The lunch ends.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan were taking a rest in Nuan Pavilion.
Shen Binglan leaned aside and closed her eyes to rest.
After Qin Yu drank, he felt sleepy and slept until dusk and sunset.
After Qin Yu woke up and saw that Xiao Nan was still asleep, he took Shen Binglan back home.
As soon as he walked away, Xiao Nan sat up.
Thinking about the beef shabu-shabu that Qin Yu talked about at noon today.
Xiao Nan felt that the lunch meal was almost digested.
The more Xiao Nan thought about it, the more he couldn't hold back his restless heart.
"Hiss~"
Xiao Nan stood up from the couch in the Nuan Pavilion and walked around the Nuan Pavilion, "Although my father doesn't allow beef to be eaten, if he ate it secretly once, he wouldn't be able to find it by chance, right? I don't kill cows, so Deng
Just buy the treasure outside the palace."
"My father has been very busy dealing with government affairs these days, and he has not been to the East Palace for a long time."
Think of this.
Xiao Nan hurriedly shouted out, "Deng Bao! Deng Bao!"
"Your Highness, this servant is here." Deng Bao hurriedly walked in from outside the house.
Xiao Nan whispered: "Go and get some beef for me."
"ah?!"
Deng Bao was so frightened that he trembled all over, "Your Highness, are you kidding me? You forgot that you ate beef secretly last time..."
However, Xiao Nan did not panic and said calmly: "That was before, but now this palace is not what it used to be. How long has it been since my father came to the East Palace? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"Don't worry, even if something happens, I won't turn you in. I just said... that I went out and saw a family whose cow died, and then bought it."
Dawei’s beef is not absolutely forbidden to be eaten.
Because cows always die accidentally, as long as it is verified and approved by the government, beef that has been approved can be sold.
But this situation is too rare, and it is usually acquired directly.
After all, beef is really a rare thing, and many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen are eyeing it.
So beef is very expensive.
But Emperor Wei absolutely prohibited people in the palace from eating it. This was the rule in the palace.
"this......."
Deng Bao was very helpless, but Xiao Nan insisted, so he had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then I'll send someone out to see if I can buy some legal beef."
Xiao Nan said with a smile: "As long as you do this well, I will be richly rewarded by you."
Later, Xiao Nan wrote down the ingredients and asked Deng Bao to buy them.
There is beef shabu-shabu to eat.
Xiao Nan is in a good mood.
His mouth watered just thinking about what Qin Yu said at noon today.
Two hours later.
Xiao Nan was sitting in front of the table in the Nuan Pavilion. The seasonings had been adjusted and the water in the pot was boiling.
He was holding the bowl and stirring the sesame paste with chopsticks.
at the same time.
Bang!
Deng Bao pushed the door open and walked in, "Your Highness! I'm back. I'm lucky today. I actually got some meat from someone else's hands. The parts of meat you asked for are all available and have been cut for you."
As he spoke, he placed all the ingredients on the table.
Xiao Nan looked at the plates of brightly colored beef, and his mouth watered, "Hahaha! Great! Great! Deng Bao, you have made a great contribution this time, and I will remember it for you."
After that, he asked: "Do you want to eat something together?"
Deng Bao broke into a cold sweat and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I'm not hungry!"
Xiao Nan hurriedly poured a plate of fat beef into the pot, "Cut! I don't know how to enjoy it."
As he spoke, he took the beef out of the pot and put it into a bowl, just as he opened his mouth.
Sudden!
"Your Majesty is here!"
Fu'an's voice suddenly came from outside Nuan Pavilion.
