Chapter 121: Shocking views! Do you call this the most precious treasure in the world?
"Yes, old sir, I have been to many places in my life and have eaten a lot of good things. I have eaten almost all the meat in the world, such as sheep from the Turks, venison from the Tibetans, and even
I’ve eaten bear meat.”
"But... I have never tasted such fragrant meat. It's so fragrant! This taste is even better than those meats!"
Changsun Wuji took a big sip of soup, looked up at the old man, and asked with great curiosity.
This meat is really different.
He can tell that he has never eaten it!!
"Yes, old gentleman, this meat is a bit hard to control. Even if you are full, you can't help but want to take another bite. May I ask...what kind of meat is this?"
Queen Changsun also asked with a smile.
"Beautiful, so beautiful. This bowl of rice contains meat, vegetables, soup, and then you eat a flatbread. It's much more delicious than those so-called delicacies from the mountains and seas!"
Wei Zheng finished the big cake in his hand and took another one without talking.
"This meat seems a little strange." Du Ruhui smacked his lips: "It's more fragrant than all the meat I've eaten, even more fragrant than mutton."
Cheng Yaojin was beside him, and while the others were talking, he added another big spoonful to himself.
Let's discuss it, I'll just eat it.
He has such a mentality.
the other side.
Little Sizi and Princess Changle were even more happy eating, and they didn't even bother to raise their heads.
The old man wiped his mouth, patted his belly, and then said happily: "This meat is actually very common, it is pork."
He didn't hide anything and said it directly.
"Your Majesty, since it tastes good, eat more of it. This meat is not valuable in our palace, Prince Chu."
The old man picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
When you are full, have a cup of tea.
This day was actually much more comfortable than he was in the deep mountains and forests.
It was indeed the right decision to come to Chang'an with Your Highness.
There are also books on medical skills and Feng Shui.
With the books left by His Highness, his own skills have improved a lot than before, and he gradually developed the systematic understanding that His Highness said.
How wonderful.
The old man was still immersed in the beauty of having enough to eat and drink.
but……
Bangta!
The kuaizi in Li Shimin's hand fell directly to the ground.
He looked at the old man in a daze, his eyes wider than copper bells, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to burst out.
His eyes were horrified.
incredible.
Not only him, but Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin were also stunned.
The corners of his mouth twitched a little.
There was some trembling between the eyebrows.
Even Princess Changle raised her head and stopped chewing in her mouth.
throughout the room,
Only the cute little Sizi was still there "hula hula" eating happily.
They were a little at a loss.
It’s also a bit hard to accept.
What is this meat!?
This is...pork??
What I just ate was...pork???
This...how is this possible!!
Pork, why does it taste like this!!
How could it be so fragrant?
Pork is full of fishy smell!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!!
Besides, what kind of place is this?
This is the Prince of Chu’s Mansion, this is the Prince of Chu’s Mansion!!
Tell me, everyone in the Chu Palace eats pork?
My mother!
How can they accept this?
pork?
They have never eaten anything in their lives!
This stuff is considered cheap meat in the mouths of ordinary people, the kind of meat that is unacceptable to people.
Now, you tell me, this is pork??
Just now, you ate by yourself... were you still so happy?
Boom!!
Everyone's heads felt like they were getting bigger, their minds were completely blank, and they even felt like their stomachs were churning.
Even Empress Changsun's face turned a little pale.
Not to mention the faces of Li Shimin and others.
Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other scholars have always despised pork.
Normally, it can be said that I don’t even look at it.
He was even more criticized for pork, but who would have thought that today, he actually ate... ate... this pork!
"Old sir, are you...are you joking? This joke is not funny."
Li Shimin's throat was a little tight, and his voice became a bit like a eunuch.
Even with a smile on his face.
But...it's even uglier than crying.
However, the old man smiled.
Smiling happily.
"Your Majesty, aren't you looking for His Highness's private money? In fact, this thing is also a treasure."
"Why, you are all like this?!"
The old man smiled happily.
He looked at Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yaojin, the so-called emperors and princes, as if their faces had turned into the color of pig liver, like children who succeeded in playing a prank.
Regarding their frequent visits to Prince Chu's Mansion, the old man was speechless.
I come here every day to rob things from Prince Chu's Mansion, and this time it's time for you to enjoy them.
This feeling is very unpleasant, right?
The old man couldn't help but laugh again.
hiss……
ah……
When Li Shimin heard this, his body trembled violently again.
damn it!
damn it!
damn it!
How could this be a treasure!!
Who doesn’t know about pork?
Even the common people knew that this thing was the most despicable meat in the world, but the Prince of Chu's Palace... actually everyone ate this thing.
Li Shimin licked his lips.
Although the meat is a bit fragrant, I still want to eat it.
Damn it!!
Li Shimin quickly shook his head, picked up a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp, trying to suppress his dangerous thoughts.
What do you mean you still want to eat?
Is there any future?
Do you like eating pork that much now?
Gudong......
Li Shimin swallowed.
He put down the teacup, pointed at the meat in the pot with trembling fingers, and said in a trembling voice: "This...this, old gentleman, can King Chu...King Chu also eat this meat?"
The old man nodded and said casually: "Your Majesty, this is natural."
"His Highness originally led us to eat this pork. His Highness said that there is no such delicious meat in the world."
"Although mutton is good, eating too much mutton can make people feel angry. As for chicken, duck, and fish, these meats are good if eaten occasionally, but if they are eaten regularly, they will make people feel nauseated. Only this pork is so fragrant! Pure
!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Moreover, it is also said that it is extremely nutritious and is a rare God-given meat. If you don't eat it, it would be a pity and it would be a waste of nature!!"
The old man smiled.
Li Shimin's eyes were still a little heavy.
Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng also had sad faces, slightly unable to accept it.
The reputation of this pork for thousands of years can be said to be terrible.
cheap!!
One word explains everything.
But now...
I ate it myself...
One mistake and eternal regret!
They want to cry without tears!
No one thought that the Prince of Chu’s Mansion would serve pork to guests!!
"Oh, I'm so full, but Sizi still wants to eat. The old man will give Sizi another bowl. Sizi wants that white meat, lots and lots of white meat!!"
Little Sizi held the bowl in his hands and stared eagerly at the fat meat in the pot.
White meat.
This is a pet name commonly used by children for fat meat.
Because fat meat has no fiber, and it can be said to be full of flavor when eaten, it is full of oil, so it is very popular among children.
"Okay, okay, your highness, little Sizi, eat more. You will be cute if you are chubby. Then you will grow taller. When your highness comes back and sees that you are not thin, he will feel more at ease and will not feel guilty inside."
The old man stood up with a smile and helped Xiao Sizi fill another large bowl.
Seeing this, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others felt their scalps numb and the corners of their eyes twitching wildly.
Princess Changle was standing by and wanted to stop her, but looking at Xiao Sizi's eager eyes, she didn't know what to say.
Children don’t know the concept of pork.
Little Sizi seems to be addicted.
It was a great pleasure to eat.
Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips, and the second piece of pie that he had just taken two bites was tightly grasped in his hand.
The little Sizi ate so deliciously.
He couldn't help but swallow.
This meat... despite historical prejudices, it tastes really good.
Huh!
wrong!!
Is this really pork?
impossible!
Pork is fishy and smelly, so it is called cheap meat, but the meat in this pot...
Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he looked at the old man.
"Old sir, are you right? Are you lying to us? Pork is smelly and fishy, but this meat is fragrant and waxy, and is countless times more delicious than pork. You... you must be lying.
We, right?"
Cheng Yaojin retorted.
I have to say that although he is rough, he is also good at discovering blind spots.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Queen Changsun, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui all brightened up.
Damn it!
yes!
This is crazy...
What does pork taste like? Although they have never tasted it, the records in the book are detailed!
Moreover, they have all seen pigs, and they often hear about the taste of pork.
But the meat tastes so delicious!
Come to think of it, it's definitely not pork!
Li Shimin's eyes were flying and he said loudly: "That's right, old gentleman, this is definitely not pork. Don't lie to me."
Li Shimin was excited.
"Yes, yes, we all know the taste of pork, but this meat... is wrong, no, absolutely not!" Du Ruhui shouted.
"Hahaha, old sir, are you so angry with me waiting for your arrival today that you want to lie to us? Now, are we seeing through it?" Changsun Wuji yelled.
The old man sighed.
These people are really capable of self-comfort.
Cowhide! So cowhide!
The old man really couldn't help but admire him.
He stood up, stirred in the pot with a spoon, and fished out something.
A pig's trotter.
He put it into Li Shimin's bowl.
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Why don't you admit it? Look what this is. I have never eaten pork, but I should have seen pigs running. You should know what part this is."
"Besides pigs, is there another animal with hooves like this?!"
The old man's words immediately stunned Li Shimin and others who had just become excited.
Pig trotters!
This is pig trotters!
This evidence can be said to have directly locked them in place!
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
My eyes were fixed on this pig’s hooves!
Gudong......
Li Shimin swallowed hard.
How could he not recognize Pig Hoof?
Changsun Wuji and the four others were completely silent.
This is pork, there is no doubt about it.
The air is a little solemn.
They all seemed to have been sealed.
The old man smiled, looked at their appearance, sighed slightly, and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so old and rude, but you still don't know the beauty of pork."
"Why is pork called cheap meat? It's because it doesn't taste good, not because it is cheap meat. That's why it doesn't taste good. Don't get confused about this."
"Why don't I tell you that this... pork is the most precious treasure in the world! It is also His Highness' absolute private money. This... is a good thing!!"
The old man suddenly felt a little sad.
He looked at the group of rulers of the Tang Dynasty in front of him and felt that the people were so pitiful. They had such a good thing in front of them, but they couldn't grasp it.
Li Shimin frowned slightly and looked at the old man without saying anything.
Changsun Wuji and the others also sat quietly, feeling a little uneasy.
They can sense the old man's emotions.
The old man... seemed to hate himself and others a little bit.
"Your Majesty, and all of you, I have traveled extensively over the years and have a much deeper understanding of the people than you. Please open your eyes and see how the people have been living in the past few years?!"
"Although the people of the Tang Dynasty are not starving to death, but...well, they can only barely eat enough. Most of them are sallow, thin, listless, and full of diseases. Why is this?"
"I know, the answer is very simple, there is no meat to eat."
The old man's voice was a little choked.
"I have seen too many people. They should have lived well, but... they died of a very small disease because of insufficient nutrition."
"If nutrition is not enough, your own immunity will be very deficient. By the way, His Highness told me the word immunity. You can understand it as Yang Qi. When Yang Qi is weak, diseases will take advantage of the deficiency and people will get sick. Then
, worsening death.”
"In fact, they did not die because of illness. The reason was that they were starved to death. Most of them were like this."
The old man took a deep breath and controlled himself to prevent his tears from falling.
He loves the people.
Otherwise, in these years, I would not have studied various medical techniques in a simple and profound way, and helped the people like the four sages.
but……
Because he loves the people and goes deep into the people, he also understands how weak his own power is compared to the world.
"Fortunately, I met His Highness. Your Highness has great ambitions. He wants to heal the world and make all the people better!"
"Your Majesty, you don't understand, Your Highness, this meat is not cheap meat, but a good recipe that Your Highness has given me in the Tang Dynasty!!"
The old man's voice was deep.
There were tears in his eyes.
Thinking of the people, he couldn't help but get excited.
Such a good pot of meat is called cheap meat by these people!
