Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 21 The meaning of the Silk Road!
Zhao Si knew that farming cattle were highly valued in ancient times, and slaughtering cattle was basically strictly prohibited.

Most dynasties will issue specific legal provisions.

Qin Dynasty, as a country with farming and warfare system, presumably had stricter protection for farming cattle, but who was Wang Li?

The largest three generations of Daqin, Cheng Yaojin's family still killed two cows from time to time, it is unbelievable to say that the Wang family can't eat beef and Zhao Si.

Wang Li paused, nodded with a smile and said to the servant, "Cut some more beef."

After the servant left, Zhao Si asked, "Is eating beef a violation of Qin law?"

Wang Li laughed and said, "Of course it's not wrong to eat beef. There are so many cows in the world, and some will die from falling, old age, illness, or some kind of accident. They can't be buried like people."

After finishing speaking, Wang Li continued to speak, "Do you like beef?"

Zhao Si nodded.

"I like this one too. Mutton is too strong, pork is too hot, horse meat is too bad, donkey meat and dog meat are acceptable. Although beef is good, how can it be a pity that some cattle die every day? That is to say, when there is news, rely on your status as soon as possible. Buy some." Wang Li replied.

"If you want to eat beef in the future, don't slaughter it privately. Killing your own cattle is also against the law. Every cattle sale is recorded by the government. Even if you buy it back home, the government will send people to check the status of the cattle every year. If you die, you have to notify the government immediately, and the slaughter can only be done after it is recorded in the record, and if you want to eat beef in the future, you can find me." Wang Li leaned over and said with a smile.

The deliciousness of beef is a matter recognized from ancient to modern times.

It's just that ordinary people in ancient times had a hard time wanting to eat beef. According to Wang Li, even if you have already bought the cattle and the cattle died accidentally, if you can't explain why, you will probably be punished.

But Wang Li also made it clear that if you want to eat beef, you can find him.

"There are always cows that fall to death~" Zhao Si smiled.

Wang Li was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No way!"

"The government records the number of farm cattle. If a cattle dies in any family, it must be reported to the government. If a cattle dies, you can buy it yourself as soon as you are notified. It seems that the cattle that fell to death in the middle of the year taste the best, but few It happened that cows that died of illness could not be bought, and there were many cows that died of old age, but the taste was worse, and the quality of the meat was not so delicious." Wang Li explained.

How could there be so many stupid cows who fell to their death in a good way?
Most of them died of illness and old age. To put it bluntly, Wang Li took advantage of his status. In the entire Xianyang territory, anyone whose cattle died had to be reported to the government. Wang Li, as the largest three generations, naturally got the news immediately. people buy.

To put it bluntly, it has a channel advantage. Maybe the Wang family has already got the news and directly wrapped up the entire cattle before they started to slaughter.

"What about this cow?" Zhao Si asked.

Wang Li chuckled, "I fell to my death."

……

After finishing speaking, Wang Li smiled awkwardly and said: "Father also likes beef, butchered at home, sent about ten catties yesterday, and I haven't had time to eat it yet. Otherwise, where did the butter come from?"

Once you hear it's Wang Jian, then you'll be fine.

Wang Jian's status in Daqin already belongs to the extraordinary rank.

This guy dared to march on the front line while urging Qin Shihuang to get the beauties, gold, silver and treasures rewarded to him as soon as possible.

After the victory of the battle of destroying Chu, he asked the first emperor for hundreds of beauties, and it was no big problem to eat some beef.

With Wang Jian's rank, if he said that the cow fell to his death, he fell to his death.

After waiting for a while, the servant brought butter, sliced ​​beef and pepper.

Onions, yes.

Butter, yes.

Chili, yes.

Pepper, yes.

Butter hot pot base, ready to start rubbing by hand.

However, there is no wok in this era, but it doesn't matter.

Drain the water in the cauldron, put in butter, and the chunks of butter melt slowly in the cauldron.

Add chopped shallots and sauté until fragrant, the aroma of butter and shallots is already tangy.

After sautéing until fragrant, remove the shallots and put in peppercorns to sauté until fragrant. Zhao Si couldn't help coughing because of the tangy aroma.

Wait for a while, add dried chilies, and continue to simmer.

There is no wok, and it is better to say that it is boiled with butter, but the conditions are limited, so this is the only way.

After boiling for a while, the aroma of chili, pepper and butter was fully stimulated, and Zhao Si continued to cook while coughing.

Wang Li stood aside curiously, the spicy smell that hit his face made Wang Li sneezed so hard that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

The aroma is fully volatilized, add clear water, and after more than half of the trip, the water returns to calm.

"By the way, are there any ox bones?" Zhao Si asked.

If you have beef bones, you can put some beef bones in it. The more the soup is cooked, the more fragrant and the taste will be more authentic.

"I have fan bones, leg bones and skulls, where can I get them?" Wang Li asked, nodding his head.

Although he hadn't started to eat it yet, Wang Li couldn't bear the overwhelmed aroma.

Although relatively primitive, this is butter hot pot!Even if technology and hard work are not added to it, it is enough to shine in this era of food scarcity.

Upon hearing Wang Li's answer, Zhao Si stared.

Good guy, Wang Jian sent over ten catties of beef here, maybe he sent half a cow...

"The leg bones are enough, and if you have mountain mushrooms, you can get some and cook them together. By the way, mountain mushrooms should be common and eaten."

In ancient times, there were very few fresh things, and mountain mushrooms were one of them.

There is also high soup, but unfortunately Zhao Si can't make high soup.

It would be great if there was MSG, technology and hard work beat everything.

This is not a joke, it is the truth.

The fungus is fresh, but many fungi are poisonous, just in case, Zhao Si specially reminded them.

Wang Li then ordered his servants to fetch them, and within a short while, the beef leg bones and mushrooms were placed on the table.

Zhao Si poured directly into the cauldron, then knelt and sat down.

"Okay, after it's opened, you can serve meat and vegetables." Zhao Si let out a long breath.

"It's a pity that there are too few sesame seeds brought back, and we have to save them for planting. If there is another plate of sesame paste, garlic, chili and coriander, and some sesame oil at this time, it will be a bliss in the world." Zhao Si said with emotion.

In this era, it is difficult to make a small dish.

Coriander, garlic, green onions, sesame, peanuts, peppers, peppers, peanuts, all are not native crops in the Central Plains. (Central Plains native onions are shallots)

How about the significance of the Silk Road?If there is no Silk Road, where will the future generations be rich in natural beauty and rich in land and resources?
Although Zhao Si brought back a large number of seeds, it can be said that there is everything that one expects to find, especially coriander seeds...

But right now it has to be used for breeding, if it is used for eating, it may not be enough.

It can be said that the hot pot without small ingredients plate lacks three points of flavor, but for the sake of future appetite, Zhao Si finally chose to be patient.

"Are you talking about new crops you brought from overseas?" Wang Li asked.

"Yeah, it's a pity that there are too few brought back, only the peppers are more, but I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them for long if I get rid of the prepared ones." Zhao Si sighed with emotion.

Wang Li smelled the choking fragrance and said greedily, "It's really good, just this fragrance makes people salivate!"

Zhao Si shook his head and smiled: "Where is this?"
