Chapter 36 Do you have anything below a thousand catties per mu?
No matter how rich you are, if you buy cattle and kill them for meat, the first reaction of the people will be that the wine and meat of the wealthy family smell bad, which will definitely cause public outrage.
As for farmers slaughtering cattle... Usually at this time, neighbors will come to persuade you not to think too hard...
Therefore, Tang law strictly prohibited it and there was absolutely no room for discussion.
For this reason, after Li Sheng finished speaking,
Li Er and others' expressions immediately changed.
As the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, everyone has to live as role models. At this time, no matter whether you are a master or your highness, it is absolutely unjustifiable to slaughter farm cattle for food. The impact is really bad.
Empress Changsun was also worried that Sheng Er was confused at this moment, but it would be bad if Li Er was not angry and the father and son had conflicts.
But luckily, Li Sheng waved his hand.
"Where are you going, slaughtering cattle? Where can I find cattle to kill?"
"This is the cow belonging to the old Chen family in the village. It was frightened and killed by Turkic soldiers and horses passing by a few days ago."
Li Er and others nodded, feeling relieved.
Youzhou is on the northern border and is indeed the front line facing the Turks. It is common for ordinary people to be harassed in the market.
I saw Li Er sigh softly,
"This... Lao Chen's family is missing a farm cow. How will they live their lives?"
Li Sheng was busy looking at the kitchen, wondering why the pot hadn't been cooked yet. When he heard Li Er's words, he didn't pay attention to the tone and said casually.
"We still live like this... Because a cow died, everyone can taste beef for once, so Lao Chen held an all-cow banquet and invited the whole village to eat... The water was originally going to be thrown away, but it ended up being thrown away.
Am I coming?"
After Li Sheng finished speaking,
Li Er and others were also stunned for a moment.
They exchanged a look with each other.
This village... is located in the north of Youzhou City and is often harassed by Turkic soldiers and horses.
It doesn’t even have a name, it’s really a small village.
It would be nice if it didn't disappear directly.
The life of these people is actually so good?
What are the conditions in each of these homes?
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Li Sheng.
Yes.
Damn it, if there is such a living god in the village, how can life be so difficult?
It just took off.
…
Then Li Sheng introduced several other items to everyone.
Fish and shrimp all come from nearby rivers.
This is the north, and eating aquatic products is not popular because water resources are relatively scarce, so you can’t eat them if you want.
But Li Sheng said that he played a little trick on the villagers, so now every household can eat fish every day.
"I didn't catch the big herring today. I bought it from Guan Laozhou and his family. It only cost five cents a piece, which is very cheap. But five cents is a lot. It is a high-quality aquatic product and the taste is definitely not bad. You guys
You’ll know after you try it for a while…”
Before Li Sheng finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was staring at him blankly again.
This time Li Sheng sprayed him directly. Are you sure these are not human traffickers?
Why do you keep staring at people when you have nothing to do? Is there something wrong with you?
Li Er and others were shocked.
Five cents, isn’t that the price of two or three pancakes?
If you want to eat a fish of the same size in Chang'an... at least four or five kilograms, and you don't have twenty or thirty coins, be careful that the store will drag you to see the official!
Even the relatively wealthy families in Chang'an City usually only eat fish once every ten days.
But this village...???
Everyone took a breath.
Unknowingly, I have become so rich?!
Are each of these villagers richer than the people of Chang'an?
Is there any justice left?
How outrageous!
Li Sheng was speechless, forget it, these mountain cannons should just let them be in a daze.
Anyway, I was very polite, served you the food, and chatted with you.
Then he told some other things.
This time it finally didn't cause any strange reactions.
But when it comes to corn.
Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Empress Changsun, except for Wei Zheng who was relatively calm, all four of them had their eyes lit up.
"What is this?"
"The color is golden and the grains are like beans..."
"This item must be rare and rare. It will definitely be a wonderful item for wedding banquets!"
Li Sheng could finally understand this reaction, because the neighbors in the village had the same reaction when they saw corn for the first time.
This thing is really good for banquets!
"This is corn, but you are wrong. This thing is not a rare thing, and the yield per mu is more than a thousand catties."
There was silence again at the dinner table.
There is only one sentence in all eyes,
“Sir, do you have anything with a yield of less than 1,000 kilograms per mu??”
"Yes, the penicillin I used to treat Lao Li's illness must not weigh a thousand pounds."
"..."
"..."
"..."
understood.
At this moment everyone understood why this village was so wealthy.
Let alone letting Li Sheng be the village chief to govern, as long as he exists in this place, the people of this place will have a hard time not getting rich!
…
I waited for nearly half an hour that day, which was an hour.
Finally, a burst of aroma came from the direction of the kitchen.
Then, the maid lifted a stove into the front hall, and then...
I don’t know where to start, but a round wooden board was opened on the dining table, revealing a hollow!
Everyone was shocked at once,
Can this dining table still be like this?
"Sir, why is this dining table made like this?" Li Er looked at Li Sheng beside him in confusion.
"Oh, this is convenient for eating hot pot. It has been modified. There is a hole in the middle so that the stove can be placed underneath."
"Set up the stove? Are you going to cook this 'hot pot' on the dining table?"
"..."
Li Sheng was speechless. Lao Li's understanding was simply enterprise-level.
"No, Lao Li, listen to me. First of all, hot pot is not a dish, but a way of eating it. It is to put a variety of spices in a big pot, and then cut the dishes when you need to eat.
Put it down and cook. Eat as you go, cook as you go, eat as you go, this is hot pot!"
"oh……"
Everyone was amazed, is there such a way to eat it?
I just don’t know how it tastes…
This doubt appeared in everyone's mind,
But soon, it completely disappeared.
An extremely tempting and spicy aroma gradually floated out from the kitchen.
Everyone smelled this captivating breath.
In an instant, the pupils of both eyes subconsciously dilated.
"What does this smell like and why is it so tempting?!"
“What a rich aroma!”
"I can't stand it anymore, Master, where is your kitchen? I can't bear it anymore!"
Du Ruhui was so excited that he lost his composure. The fragrance was so alluring!
Sitting here without the opportunity to see the real face is simply a kind of torture!
Li Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to calm down everyone first, and then...
Not long after the aroma wafted, the hot pot was finally served!
The soup is fiery red in color, with floating Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers...
There are also pieces of ginger in the soup, as well as countless unheard of and even unseen ingredients floating in it.
Put it on the stove under the dining table, and instantly,
The intensity of the aroma has reached its maximum.
Empress Changsun was the most surprised at this moment. This child... she thought he had suffered so much.
Now that I think about it, I should have asked him how many magical things he enjoyed!
