PS: Today is the same as yesterday, there are still two updates, and there will be a second update before nine o'clock.

When Lao Wuyi saw Li Min coming in, he was frightened and hurriedly threw away the knife in his hand. He ran to Li Min in a few steps to plead guilty, saying that he should not have bumped into the prince. Judging from his appearance, he was probably very frightened. Who was it?

I didn't expect Li Min to come in at this time.

"I said, Lao Wu, what are you doing? The knife you are sharpening doesn't seem to be a cooking knife?" Li Min calmed down. As long as he is not rebelling, it will be fine. He did not bring any guards in the house. If it is true,

Surrounded by these chefs who play with knives every day, it will probably turn into a pile of good pork belly in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness, today is the day for meat in the house. I bought a few pigs and was planning to sharpen my knife and kill them. Unexpectedly, I bumped into the prince and your highnesses. Please forgive me!" Lao Wu said with a bitter smile.

The food for the servants of the palace is still good, and they are required to eat meat once every half month. However, after the economic situation of the palace has improved recently, Gao Zhong, the head of the palace's internal affairs, has asked people to eat meat once every ten days as a reward for the servants. Today

It happens to be a meat-free day.

"Oh, that's it." Li Min also knew that the palace had such a rule, "Okay, get up and leave the pig killing to others. I have some dishes for you to cook."

"Brother Six, is it fun to kill pigs?" Before Lao Wu stood up, Si Zi next to him pulled Li Min's sleeve and asked.

"Uh~?" Li was startled, looked at Si Zi, and found that the little girl had a curious look on her face, as if she had some bad intentions.

"Sizi, killing pigs is not fun. Those pigs are ugly and dirty, and their screams are unpleasant. When they are slaughtered, they are bloody and bloody. It will give you nightmares to see them." Qinghe also knows Sizi's character well and knows that this little pig

The girl was curious about everything and was afraid that she really wanted to see some pig slaughtering, so she immediately spoke to try to dispel her idea.

"But... But Si Zi really wants to go and see it. I have never seen what a pig looks like." Si Zi said pitifully. The meat of the nobles in the Tang Dynasty was generally mutton, and venison was also relatively common.

Although pigs have many pigs, they rarely eat pork. This may be because pigs’ appearance is really unflattering and they like to roll in the mud. They have always been regarded by the nobles as vulgar and dirty things, and they don’t even bother to eat their meat. Therefore, the reason why pigs are so popular

The main consumer groups are generally ordinary people and the huge servant class. As the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty, it is of course impossible for Sizi to have ever eaten pork. She even learned about pigs from the palace population.

"This..." Li Min hesitated for a moment and was about to give up the idea of ​​Si Zi, but then suddenly there was a loud howling of pigs from the courtyard of the big kitchen opposite. It was probably that the pigs waiting to be slaughtered also realized that they were in a bad situation and began to

In the last moments of a pig's life, he howled to express his protest against this unfair world.

It was the first time he heard such a miserable sound of pig killing, but Sizi seemed very excited. He no longer cared about whether Li Min agreed or not. He ran a few steps and rushed to the yard of the big kitchen. There was only a gap between the two kitchens.

The courtyard wall also had a corner door open on the wall to facilitate passage. By the time Qinghe realized what he was doing and wanted to stop him, Si Zi had already run through the corner door.

"Forget it, let's go together, don't scare Sizi." Li Min said helplessly. He had often seen pig killings in his previous life when he was a child. There was a special pig killing machine in the small village where his grandfather lived.

The butcher will attract a group of children to watch every time he kills a pig, and no matter how many times he watches it, he will never get tired of it, and he will still run to watch it excitedly next time.

Turning around the corner door between the two kitchens, everyone was surprised by the lively scene that greeted them. They saw several stone platforms specially used for slaughtering livestock set up in the yard. Each stone platform was tied with ropes.

There was a big fat black pig, and there were several people beside it who were responsible for holding the pig down to prevent it from breaking away from the rope. The pig's screams and the people's shouts and scolds were so loud that it made people's ears hurt.

Compared with the cleanliness and tidiness of the small kitchen, the large kitchen is not so particular. The ground is full of potholes and there is dirty water in some places. Sizi is standing on tiptoes on a high ground, stretching his neck to look curiously.

The pig on the stone platform. Li Min walked a few steps and picked up Sizi. Firstly, it would be easier for her to see more clearly. Secondly, when she was scared, she could at least hide in his arms.

"Your Highness, this...is this pig still being killed?" Lao Wu also followed in and asked cautiously. Li Zhi and Lao Wu both knew each other, and they were afraid that the bloody scene of killing pigs would frighten several of their highnesses.

"It's okay, you can do whatever you want." After Li Min said this, he turned to Li Zhi and said, "If you are afraid, just go out and wait. I will take care of Si Zi."

"Tch~, Sixth Brother, you are looking down on us too much. Last time I went hunting, I personally shot a deer!" Gao Yang first shouted dissatisfied. Li Shimin likes hunting, except for some scheduled and large-scale hunting.

In addition to field hunting, there are also some small-scale hunting events held from time to time, and they also like to invite all the ministers and ministers to compete together. I guess Gao Yang is the deer he shot when he went with Li Shimin last time.

"Oh? I didn't expect our Gao Yang to be a goddess archer!" Li Min said with a smile. He had forgotten that this was in the Tang Dynasty. It was not like in later generations. When a grown man reaches more than 20 years old, he may not even have a chicken.

I have never killed one before, but here, a **-year-old little princess has already slaughtered wild animals with her own hands.

At this moment, Lao Wu's side was ready. First, a tall and strong guy came out of each stone platform. He picked up a stick with an iron hoop at one end, swung it and hit the pig behind the ear.

The man knocked the pig unconscious, and then another person took a cow-ear sharp knife and stabbed it on the pig's neck very skillfully. When the knife was pulled away, dark red pig blood immediately flowed out, and there was a basin underneath. At this time, the pig

He was also awakened by the severe pain and began to struggle and howl desperately. However, the people around him pinned him to the stone platform and could not struggle away at all. As more and more blood flowed out, the pig's howling gradually became weaker.

came down, and then slowly only the dying moans were left.

When she saw this, Sizi was so scared that she covered her eyes with her hands. After all, the scene in front of her was still too bloody for her. However, the child's curiosity made her a little unwilling. After a while,

Yes, he opened a gap with his fingers and looked out secretly with his big eyes.

After all the blood was drained, the pig was completely dead. The people around the stone platform lifted the pig and threw it into a large pot of boiling water. After a while, they lifted it out again, then blew on it to remove its hair, and finally put it into the pig's head.

Pour the boiled rosin onto the pig, and stick off some of the unscratched bits. The shed pig is no longer as dirty as before, but has become white and fat, and even looks a little cute.

But what happened after that was not cute. The next step was to disembowel them. Li Zhi and the others immediately gave up. Although they had shot many small animals to death, seeing the colorful intestines with their own eyes and the internal organs flowing all over the floor was still the first time.

Once, everyone said they couldn't stand it anymore and ran out after a while, covering their mouths. As expected, Sizi got into Li Min's arms and acted like an ostrich.

Li Min was nothing. He was used to seeing it before. He even started to drool when he looked at the pieces of pork. This was not because Li Min was abnormal, but because he remembered that he had not eaten pork for a long time.

Now, thinking of the fat but not greasy braised pork; the sweet and sour sweet and sour pork; the sweet and sour sweet and sour pork tenderloin, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, etc., Li Min's glutton was hooked again, and he didn't care anymore.

As for his identity, he called Lao Wu to give some instructions. Without waiting for the embarrassed Lao Wu to object, he took Si Zi to the small kitchen.

As a person who loves to eat, Li Min certainly attaches great importance to the kitchen. Now the small kitchen is painted with cement inside and outside, and Li Min also ordered a batch of porcelain tiles, which have been pasted in the kitchen.

In addition, the internal layout has also been changed under Li Min's personal guidance, so now the interior of the small kitchen is almost the same as the kitchens of later large hotels. The chefs and helpers inside are all dressed in white chef uniforms and wearing high hats.

There is a strict division of labor in every step of the operation, and hygiene is the focus that Li Min asked Lao Wu to pay close attention to, so the whole kitchen feels quite neat and clean.

As soon as Li Zhi and the others came in, they were immediately shocked by this modern kitchen. Although they had not eaten the food yet, seeing such an orderly and orderly kitchen already made them look forward to it. The cooks all knew Li Zhi.

As soon as they saw him coming in, they all saluted, and Li Min nodded with satisfaction.

After a while, Lao Wu also came back, carrying some things in his hand. Li Min's sharp eyes immediately recognized that among them were fine pork belly and tenderloin, as well as two pig feet and several pieces of pork.

Skin.

Li Min has also chosen the ingredients for Li Zhi and the others. As a carnivore, Li Min has never cared much about vegetables, so Lao Wu orders the vegetarian dishes himself, and he mainly chooses duck meat.

And fish meat, this is mainly to take care of Si Zi. Let’s not talk about duck meat. Sun Simiao personally recommended it. The fish meat was Li Min’s own decision. After all, it is always right for children to eat some fish, which can promote intellectual development.

Duck Li Min asked Lao Wu to make three cups of duck, crispy duck and iced plum duck. In addition, he also made the old duck soup for noon because Si Zi likes to drink it. Li Min didn't like to eat fish in his previous life, so he was very fond of fish.

I didn’t know much about how to cook it, so I made a few dishes here and there, one was the fish head tofu that Li Min had eaten before, and the other was the sweet and sour Yellow River carp. This was the authentic Yellow River carp, and Li Min specially asked Lao Wu to cook it.

The last thing I bought from the Yellow River was Dao fish balls. According to the way Fuzhou fish balls were made in later generations, they were made of fish meat and flour as the skin, with shrimp meat inside. They were bigger than Sizi's fist.

After giving these instructions, Li Min went behind Li Zhi's back and told Lao Wu how to make pork and pig's feet. Then he left the kitchen and waited in the front hall for a while. The dishes prepared in the kitchen were served one after another.

This time, Li Min had specially ordered a separate meal system like a formal banquet, with each person having a snack table. The dishes served by Li Zhi and others were all the same, but Li Min's was different.

Except for a few similar vegetarian dishes, the meat dishes on Li Min's table are not fish and mutton, but the pork he asked Lao Wu to prepare just now. The dishes are very simple, only braised pork, sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour pork loin and stuffed pork.

There are four kinds of feet, and there is also a pig skin jelly made from pig skin, mixed with vinegar and garlic juice. These were Li Min's favorite dishes in his previous life.

When everyone sat down, Li Min said with a smile: "Come on, let's try the food cooked by Brother Six. How do you like it?" After saying that, he ignored Li Zhi and the others and took a piece of braised pork with an attractive red color and threw it away.

When it comes to your mouth, you will definitely feel that it was made by Lao Wu himself. Although it is the first time to make this dish, it has already cooked the characteristics of braised pork that is fat but not greasy, and is soft and melts in the mouth.

"Hey, Brother Six, why is your food different from ours?" Li Zhi took a few bites of the food and found that it was really delicious. However, he accidentally glanced at Li Min's table and discovered a problem, so he asked

When Dao Qinghe and the others heard this, they all noticed this problem and looked at Li Min with doubtful eyes.

"Hmm~, is this a problem?" Li Min had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind, and he deliberately hesitated and replied with a sad face: "Oh, actually you don't know, Brother Six and I have some physical problems during this time.

The doctor gave me a strange prescription, asking me to eat more pork during this period. You must not spread the word, otherwise others will laugh at Brother Six."

"Brother Six, are you sick? Is it serious?" As soon as Sizi heard that Li Min had a physical problem, he immediately dropped his chopsticks and ran to him with a concerned look on his face. Qinghe and Gao Yang, however, both had similar expressions on their faces.

Doubtful, although they felt that Sixth Brother's words were a bit suspicious, they could not find any obvious doubts. After all, in their understanding, if they were not forced to do so, Li Min would not eat the pork that the servants eat.

"Don't worry, Sizi, Brother Liu's illness is not serious. He just sometimes experiences increased salivation, restlessness, and a little carelessness in doing things. It is probably the sequelae of the last injury." Li Min patted Sizi's head and said with a smile.

, what he said was all true. His salivation increased and he felt restless. This is the reaction of any person when he is greedy.

"Eh? Brother Six, this pork is so delicious. Can you try it?" The little girl suddenly sniffed and stared at the braised pork on the table with a greedy look on her face. It was all Lao Wu's fault.

It was so good, the alluring aroma immediately hooked Sizi.
