Chapter 24: From Killing Pigs to Political Affairs
"My God, my God..." The young guard said silly with a big mouth: "The little lord is actually a woman, and the little lord is actually a woman!"
The middle-aged guard next to him kicked him, snorted and scolded: "Now you understand, you are a turtle grandson. There is a reason why the uncle stopped you. The couple laughed and quarreled. What should we do if we are servants?"
"Little couple?"
The young guard was stunned again, and said with disbelief: "It's only been three days in just three days, and the little lord has only met that boy twice!"
The middle-aged guard sighed and said earnestly: "Maybe I've read it wrong, but I rarely read it wrong. Have you forgotten the little lord's quarrel with the little lord today? The little lord clearly ordered the little lord not to come out, but in the evening, the little lord still roared out anxiously."
The young guard was stunned for a long time, suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang Zheng, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said coldly: "If he dares to hurt his little lord, I will definitely raise my sword to kill him..."
Before he could finish his ruthlessness, he suddenly got a kick in the butt. The middle-aged guard looked serious and scolded: "It's not your turn to join in this matter. Just make a fire for me. It's late at night, and my lord wants to have a meal."
"Yes, yes, the uncle is right. I'll go to burn the fire, I'll go to burn the fire!"
The young guard nodded repeatedly and ran to the side of a big pot in panic.
This big pot was very ragged, and the potholes were bumpy and full of holes. Obviously, the years had passed, but the young guard suddenly discovered the strange thing.
So he quietly returned to the middle-aged guard and lowered his voice: "Uncle, come and take a look. Something was wrong with that big pot. The people of the people cannot afford this kind of big pot. This is the big pot used by the army's chefs. I just found it carefully and saw that the words were still inscribed beside the pot..."
The middle-aged guard was stunned for a moment, then thoughtfully said: "It's nothing strange. Maybe someone in this village has been a veteran, or maybe the worn-out iron pot sold in the army was bought at a cheap price in this village. Don't guess anything, there are not so many strange things in this world! Go to burn the fire, and the young master said he would take charge of the spoon himself."
"Okay, please save some snacks in anyway!"
The young guard was obviously very loyal and couldn't help but add: "I'm always afraid that the little lord will be hurt, and my whole family owed the little lord's kindness."
"I understand, I owe you the kindness of the little master!" The middle-aged guard waved.
...
At this time, the night was already very dark, and Tang Zheng finally came. The guards had already cleaned the tragic death pig and cut it into pieces with a knife to prepare for cooking.
As for the two little piglets in the fat aunt's house, they were preserved as a whole, because Tang Zheng was going to roast it directly on the fire. He didn't know how to roast the suckling pig, but people in this era were not that picky.
"You're finally willing to come?"
When Tang Zheng arrived by the river, the little lord had already come over early. The girl restored her original identity, which caused a group of people and guards to watch from afar. She also had a little twist on her face, and she seemed to be uncomfortable with the change of her identity.
She was holding a big spoon in her hand, standing beside the big pot with anticipation on her face, as if cooking next to her was a big deal, and the little girl's chest was obviously very nervous.
"What, can't cook?" Tang Zheng glanced at him with a squint, deliberately pretending to be contempt on his face.
The little lord wanted to stomp his feet again. For some reason, she wanted to get angry when she heard Tang Zheng speak. She suddenly waved the big spoon and knocked it viciously by the side of the pot.
Tang Zheng was not afraid at all and walked over with a proud look. At this time, the boiling water in the big pot had already started to roll. Tang Zheng picked up a few pieces of pork and threw it in.
The little lord held his breath and suddenly said nervously: "What are you going to do? Just boil it in water?"
He was a little embarrassed when he said this, and whispered: "Although I have dozens of masters, the masters have never taught me to cook. This is my first time cooking. I think this matter is very important to me."
"Hmph!" Tang Zheng said contempt at the tip of his nose and sneered: "Women can't cook, just like men without any need. Even if you are of great origin, you will still have to bear my ridicule."
This tone felt like he was beating. The little princess couldn't help but gritted her teeth again. The girl took a deep breath to suppress her anger and said angrily: "I can't learn it, so I'm ashamed to ask if it's okay? I sincerely ask you now, how to do this whole pig banquet?"
Tang Zheng smiled at the sky and suddenly said solemnly: "I don't know..."
The air around suddenly stagnated!
The people were stunned, and the guards were dumbfounded. In the quiet night, the river was heard flowing, and the sound of the water was mixed with the sound of a girl gritting her teeth.
...
"You can't do it, you can't do it either!" The little lord suddenly jumped up, waved the big spoon in his hand like a big knife, and said angrily: "I want to kill you."
Tang Zheng grabbed two pieces of pork and shouted: "What are you crazy about? Do you still want to fight? Come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed."
The little lord cried out in anger and said aggrievedly: "I asked you so sincerely just now, but I received your contempt and ridicule. You obviously don't know how to cook, so why dare you scold me?"
"Who said I can't? I can't joke?"
Tang Zheng scolded, took over the little lord's big spoon, and snorted coldly: "I see clearly, this is called cooking..."
As he said that, he threw two pieces of pork into the pot and continued to throw the other raw meat.
The little lord was stunned for a moment, and held back his anger and said, "You really know how to do it? Aren't you fooling me?" As he said that, he walked to the side curiously, poked his little head out and prepared to look.
Tang Zheng was startled, and quickly pulled her back with his hands and eyes. He said helplessly: "Grandma, please save your worries. You dare to stretch your head even if you roll in boiling water. You don't want your face anymore, right? Steam can burn you to death..."
The little lord stuck out his tongue, but did not quarrel with Tang Zheng this time.
The hot water in the pot kept rolling, and pieces of pork were thrown in. Soon a layer of blood foam floated out on the water surface. Tang Zheng took a large spoon and began to turn it out carefully.
The guards were amazed at the sight, while the people were a little reluctant. Tang Zheng said while working: "The whole pig banquet is not easy to cook. I will only make a braised pork dish tonight. This dish is simple and easy to learn. You all show it clearly for me. In a few days, we will open a restaurant and use this famous dish to call the signboard..."
When everyone heard that this was a business, they were all in awe. A group of miserable people and the guards gathered together, looking carefully and not daring to make any sound.
The little lord squeezed in the crowd for a long time and said curiously: "You really want to open a restaurant? Do you know what the world is now? There are wars and hunger on the ground. The poor cannot afford to eat meat, and the rich do not dare to go out. The time you choose to open a restaurant is wrong, and you may lose money!"
This is very simple, but it highlights the control of the world. It can be seen that the little lord did not waste dozens of masters' teachings. The girl is actually quite wise except for playing.
