"Don't worry, this braised pork is rather greasy. You are old and eating such greasy food will not do much good to your body."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"this……"
"Teacher, we know we were wrong. This pork is indeed good. You can't whet our appetite!"
"Yes, teacher, you should be generous. Since we are all used to eating this pork, please let us eat some more."
…
The great scholars thought that Lin Fan was trying to help them. They were all as aggrieved as three-year-old children. Lin Fan felt pity for them when he saw them.
"I'm not lying to you. This braised pork uses meat from both sides of the pig's belly. The meat here is called pork belly. It is fat and thin, so it is greasy."
"The whole body of a pig is a treasure. In addition to pork belly, there are also pork knuckles, which are pig thighs, and pig trotters, which are also rare delicacies."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Teacher, we believe this pig knuckle is delicious, but are these pig trotters edible?"
A great scholar asked.
When they thought about the environment in which pigs lived every day, with their trotters stepping on feces, they thought it was very dirty and therefore inedible.
Moreover, there is not much meat on pig's trotters, and even among the people, few wealthy people would eat it. Until the Qing Dynasty, because the Manchus were very particular about their food, a trend of gourmet food emerged among the people.
That is to say, in the Qing Dynasty, various delicacies emerged in endlessly, such as braised pig's trotters and pig's trotters soup. Hot pot only appeared in the Qing Dynasty.
"Haha! In your eyes, pig's trotters are very dirty, and there isn't much meat on them, but pig's trotters actually have their own merits."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Teacher, what's so great about this pig's trotters?"
A great scholar asked.
"As long as the pig's trotters are washed and cooked with special cooking techniques, they will become delicate, chewy and taste great!"
"Moreover, pig's trotters can also be used to make soup, which has special effects of nourishing and beautifying the skin. Women should eat more pig's trotters soup to keep their appearance."
When Lin Fan said this, he said it to all the people.
When the common people heard this, they all looked shocked. Could the usually inconspicuous pig's trotters really have such an effect?
Isn’t that the garbage thrown away by the rich?
"Your Highness, are these pig's trotters really good for beauty?"
A woman came forward and asked.
Judging from the figure of this woman, she is about thirty years old. However, judging from her skin and face, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is fifty years old. For such a person, eating pig trotters will give the best effect.
"Yes, pig's trotters have the effect of beautifying the skin. If you can drink soup made from pig's trotters regularly, your appearance will be at least ten years younger!"
Lin Fan said.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice!"
The woman said with a smile, and then left quickly.
If nothing else, this woman went to buy pig's trotters. It is conceivable that the price of pig's trotters will definitely rise after today.
When they heard Lin Fan's explanation, they were all stunned. That kind of thing that is trampled in feces can actually have such a magical effect?
Seeing that these old men still looked unbelieving, Lin Fan had someone bring over a pot of soup made from pig's trotters. He filled a large bowl for each of them, and naturally distributed the rest to the people around him.
The great scholars looked at the snow-white soup in front of them and smelled the tempting fragrance. They all looked surprised and picked up the spoons and put them into their mouths.
After taking one bite, the smooth taste made all the limbs feel full of strength, and these people all felt that their skin had become much smoother.
"Yes! Okay! This soup made from pig's trotters is really delicious. Mr. Zhang, why do I feel that the wrinkles on your face have become less?
The effect of this pig's trotter soup is really good."
"Master Liu, the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes are almost gone. Haha, this pig's trotters soup is really good for your skin. I will drink more pig's trotters soup in the future!"
"This pig's trotter soup has such magical effects. We didn't know it before. It shows that we are ignorant. All this is thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No, that's our teacher, haha! We have a successor to Confucianism!"
The great scholars all said with a smile.
At this moment, they changed from being dissatisfied before to being completely convinced. Lin Fan saw them eating so happily and did not disturb them.
After they finished drinking the pig's trotters soup, the prepared knuckles were served.
Only one of the four pig thighs was brought up, and the rest were all brought to the people to share.
The scholars looked at the elbows. They had eaten this dish before, but it was the first time for him to see such a color as Lin Fan's elbows.
"kindness?
Teacher! Could it be that soy sauce was used in this elbow?"
One person asked curiously.
Soy sauce was not yet popular at this time, and only some people had eaten it. Therefore, most people would not put soy sauce when making elbows.
"Yeah! You can actually tell that I used soy sauce. It seems that you have also studied gourmet food."
Lin Fan said with some surprise.
The man was praised by Lin Fan and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, I'm really ashamed. I was born in a mountain village and my family makes soy sauce."
"This soy sauce is very salty and has a strange smell. I didn't expect it could be used to make elbows!"
As he said that, the great scholar actually started crying. One great scholar smiled and said, "Haha! Soy sauce can be used to make elbows. It's a good thing. Why are you crying?"
As he said that, he took a bite of his elbow and froze there for a moment. The scholars around him also looked at him curiously and said, "Master Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"This! I've eaten a lot of pork elbow before, but this is the first time I've eaten such delicious pork elbow. It's not greasy at all. This pork skin is the most delicious!"
Master Zhang said excitedly.
Hearing Mr. Zhang's praise of the elbow, all the scholars present started to use their chopsticks. After tasting the elbow, they all started to grab it excitedly.
Lin Fan saw that the way these great scholars were eating was not much different from the way the uncles and aunts were eating.
After finishing the pork elbow, the great scholars were full of praise, and the common people also praised it one after another. They all stared at Lin Fan to see what delicacies were left.
Then, Lin Fan asked someone to bring over the meat skewers they had just skewered, and then asked someone to bring over the barbecue rack that had been prepared in advance.
Charcoal had already been placed on the barbecue rack. Lin Fan personally placed the meat skewers on the fire, then began to brush oil and add chili powder, cumin powder, etc.
After some operations, a short time later, waves of refreshing fragrance floated out, and the people's eyes stared straight, and many people's saliva flowed out.
"Your Highness, what kind of delicacy is this?"
A commoner came forward and asked.
Lin Fandao: "This cooking method is called barbecue. The best meat for barbecue is mutton. However, today is a pork feast, so only pork can be used for barbecue."
