Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 240 UndercurrentLatest website: Zhu Biao suddenly felt regretful, "We have only heard occasionally that if many cattle live together, they will fight with each other.
, can even cause death, and they are not asked to slaughter cattle, how can they distort our words like this...?"
Zhu Biao is really kind. If this matter were brought to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu would probably stare blankly and curse the treacherous minister.
Those old soldiers must be punished, even forty lashings are considered light.
"Alas!"
After talking for a while, Zhu Biao came back to his senses.
"Fourth, why is there no trace of surprise on your face? Have you already known about this?"
Zhu Di quickly said: "Brother misunderstood, how could I know this in advance?"
"Fart..."
Zhu Biao was so angry that he cursed, "We still wonder why the old soldier mentioned that cattle would die in a fight or fall to death!
All of you have weird faces, even Jiujiang and Cao Zhen have weird faces!"
"It turns out that it's not that the old soldier has any foresight, but that he was trained by you and others!"
"Jiujiang, Cao Zhen, when you were in the capital, would you often do this kind of thing?"
Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen panicked.
He quickly explained, "Your Highness has misunderstood. We must never dare to slaughter cattle at will, otherwise His Majesty will definitely punish us severely if he finds out!"
Zhu Di also followed up and said: "Exactly, brother, I don't dare to kill farm cattle on weekdays. Today, those old soldiers learned that you came to inspect Peiping in person, so they slaughtered one of them ruthlessly, specially to cleanse you and let you taste the beef.
The taste!"
Zhu Biao stared at Zhu Di closely, "Fourth, tell us honestly, how many cows die in fights on your farm every year?"
Zhu Di was stunned and quickly explained: "Brother, don't worry, I really don't like to eat beef, and I won't take the initiative to slaughter cattle.
Because there are so many cattle raised on the mountains, there will always be cattle that accidentally fall and die, or die in fights. Every one or two months, you can always eat beef!"
"Alas!"
After hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look helpless and blamed himself: "This is still our fault.
Out of curiosity, we went to the farm and actually killed a farm cow?
How many more acres of land can this plowing cow plow for the people every year?"
Zhu Di was startled and said quickly: "Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. Even if eldest brother doesn't go to inspect the farm, I will order the slaughter of a farm cow to entertain eldest brother!"
"Zhu Di, how dare you do this?"
Zhu Biao was furious and said regretfully: "We shouldn't have come to Beiping Mansion!"
Zhu Di added, "Even if my eldest brother doesn't come to Beiping Mansion, if I get greedy or want to celebrate the good rice, I will kill a cow!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but glared at Zhu Di angrily, "Why do you always want to eat the cattle?"
Zhu Di said: "Brother, as the King of Yan, I raise so many cattle. It is not too much to eat one or two cattle that fall to death or die in a fight!"
Zhu Biao angrily rebuked: "Fourth brother, slaughtering cattle is a crime. Anyone who intentionally kills other people's horses and cattle will receive a seventy-year rod and a year and a half in prison;
Anyone who kills his own horse or oxen privately will be punished with a hundred rods;
If a farm cow dies from an injury or illness, he will be exploited privately without reporting it to the government, and he will be whipped forty times!"
Zhu Di said: "Brother, the cattle died accidentally. Someone has already informed the Beiping government office!"
Zhu Biao looked angry: "..."
"Okay, okay, brother, the farm cattle taste so delicious. I raise so many of them on my farm, why not kill one?"
Zhu Di chuckled and said: "Besides, as a dignified King of Yan, I never bully the people, nor do I take bribes and bend the law, let alone the second and third sons...
He even built schools, paved roads, and repaired some infrastructure on weekdays. He was completely a wise king...
It’s just that if you occasionally get greedy, it’s not too much to eat a few bites of beef!”
Zhu Biao let out a long sigh. It would not be too much to compare Zhu Di with Lao Er and Lao San.
Moreover, Zhu Di is so greedy, the second and third sons... and the gentry and dignitaries from all over the world...
Thinking about it, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
……
After two years of training, the cooks in Prince Yan's Mansion have already made great improvements in cooking.
After the old soldiers and generals on the farm delivered the chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep, all the cooks quickly started cooking.
Soon, the alluring aroma of meat wafted throughout the kitchen of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Afterwards, plates of meat meals were served by a group of waiters.
There is even a whole roast lamb, roast chicken, and roast duck!
Sour, spicy, sweet...
The whole hall suddenly heard the sound of swallowing saliva.
Zhu Di greeted with joy on his face, "Brother, come on, come on, have a good taste! Among them, more than half of the meat dishes were developed by Guo Qing, and the taste is unparalleled..."
Zhu Biao put away his thoughts, picked up a piece of beef, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
Immediately, he picked up a bunch of mutton.
"Hiss..."
It was spicy and fragrant, and I couldn't help but ask: "Lao Si, what kind of seasonings are in the mutton, and why is it so fragrant?"
"Brother, it's chili pepper!"
"Chili?"
"It is a spicy vegetable that cannot be eaten alone, but if it is stir-fried in dishes or used to stir-fry meat, it tastes very fragrant..."
"Huh..."
"Compared with the food in your house, the food in our East Palace is simply pig food..."
At this moment, Zhu Biao was already sweating profusely, but his face was full of excitement and he couldn't stop at all.
"Go back and bring us a hundred catties of chili peppers!"
Seeing that Zhu Biao no longer paid attention to cattle farming, Zhu Di also breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the hundred catties of chili peppers, it is a trivial matter for today’s Prince Yan’s Mansion.
