After reading the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, I only eat hundreds of millions

popping...

After seeing off Li Qi, Chen Qing went to the main office of Dali Temple to handle government affairs. Similarly, other Dali Temple officials also went to their respective houses.

They need to go to Dianmao, and then go to Houya Courtyard to help.

As the official office of one of the Nine Qings, Dali Temple naturally has a lot of things going on every day. Like Chen Qing, if he is not in the main hall, then one of Sun Shaoqing and Cui Mu will have to take charge. Be careful not to encounter a big event but there are no officials on duty.

Similarly…

The same is true for other officials.

"Yu Niang, it seems that we don't have enough manpower?" Song Hao hesitated and said.

this time.

The small courtyard was bustling with five or six people standing there.

These people are all the cooks and assistant cooks in the official kitchen of Hou Yamen.

Servants and servants each have their own responsibilities, and they need to complete their respective tasks before they can come to help. The government office does not support idlers. Everyone here has their own tasks.

Except for Yu Niang and others in the small courtyard...

Strictly speaking, they are not considered members of the Dali Temple official office.

Shijia looked calm and opened his mouth to say: "Don't worry, wait for the others to finish cooking, and those who have time will come over to help. Now...Yu Niang and Chef Zhang will kill the fish first. By the way, Si Niangzi has some meat from the canned meat." What statement?"

Canned vegetables…

Leave it to the end for now.

After all, we are all carnivores.

Among meat and vegetables, everyone is more willing to choose meat.

at this point.

There's no need to worry too much.

"There is nothing special about canned meat. It can use dolphin/pig, beef, sheep, rabbit, poultry, etc. as raw materials, process it through some means, and then seal it in a jar or can. It also requires high-temperature treatment." Song Hao explained. .

Yuniang's expression was gloomy and she sighed: "In the past few years, there was no shortage of beef and mutton. In recent years, it has been no longer the case. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been at war with the nomadic tribes in the north. All the cities and towns on the border have been deserted. No caravans dare to go to the northern border anymore. Doing business..."

now.

It is extremely difficult to take a bite of beef.

Mutton is not bad.

However, if you really pay attention to the taste, Dazhou's mutton is indeed not as delicious as the sheep grazed by nomadic tribes in the north.

Pork is commonly eaten by people in the Zhou Dynasty.

The dignitaries disliked the cheapness of pork and ate less of it.

However, they prefer mutton and poultry.

"It's okay, beef and mutton are not good, so we will eat pork. Pork is processed properly, and the taste is not inferior to beef and mutton. Compared to beef and mutton, I prefer pork." Song Hao had a smile on his face, which made people feel comfortable. She said: "Do you know why Xuzhou pork is more delicious than pork in other state capitals?"

Xuzhou pork is very famous throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

the reason is simple…

Xuzhou pork doesn’t taste fishy or smelly.

Moreover, Xuzhou pigs are fat, and the pork is more fat and less lean.

For people who are short of oil and water, Xuzhou pork is definitely a rare delicacy.

Even the imperial palace would purchase Xuzhou pigs in Xuzhou.

Before the appearance of Xuzhou pigs, the imperial palace had never purchased pork.

Without him.

Pork is cheap and dirty.

How can a noble person eat cheap meat? !

The original breeders of Xuzhou pigs were the Song family. Xuzhou is the ancestral home of the Song family. In order to give back to the folks, the Song family passed on the Xuzhou pig raising methods.

Xuzhou is grateful to the Song family and tightly covers the raising methods of Xuzhou pigs.

Of course.

The nobles of the Zhou family all know how to raise Xuzhou pigs.

only…

The more aristocratic the family, the more face they need.

Xuzhou pigs belong to the Song family, so the nobles of the aristocratic family will not shamelessly interfere with them.

At most, they each raise a few Xuzhou pigs on their own farm.

If there is no business, I will raise a few Xuzhou pigs for my family to eat.

"Why?" Tokio blinked and asked curiously.

Pa pa… As soon as she asked, Yu Niang raised her hand and slapped two melon seeds on the back of Shijia’s head.

Yu Niang had a sullen face and said coldly: "Shijia, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

Recently, she has acquired a lot of things from Song Hierasty.

Xuzhou Pig, everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn’t know anyone.

However, except for Xuzhou, there is no place in Zhouzhou Prefecture that raises Xuzhou pigs. Even among those nobles from aristocratic families, no one had a hand in it.

why is that? !

Because the Xuzhou pig comes from the Xuzhou Song family.

The Song family is not one of the four upper aristocratic families, nor is it any of the six lower aristocratic families. However, the Song family, like the Kong family, is not an aristocratic family but is better than an aristocratic family.

Without him.

Just because the Song family is a scholarly family.

A scholarly residence for generations.

The Song Family Library that stands in Xuzhou is a plaque.

In every dynasty of the Song family, there were descendants who served as officials in the dynasty.

But no son of the Song family has ever come out of the cabinet to worship the prime minister. The Song family has always been the staunchest royalist party. The Song family never gets along with cliques, factions, etc.

above the hall.

The Song family is a pure minister, and sometimes it is a lonely minister.

Only he will not be a powerful minister, let alone a treacherous minister.

at this point.

The Song family is more determined and reliable than the Kong family.

"Yu Niang..." Song Hao smiled, gently grabbed Yu Niang's hand, and said: "Since the Song family asked the Xuzhou folks to raise Xuzhou pigs, they never thought about cherishing them, but thought about letting the people of Zhou Dynasty eat Xuzhou pigs. , but no matter what..."

The Song family wanted to promote Xuzhou pig and wanted everyone in Zhou Dynasty to be able to eat Xuzhou pig.

pity…

Things went counterproductive, and everyone seemed to have misunderstood the Song family's original intention.

As a result, no state capital in the entire Zhou Dynasty except Xuzhou dared to raise Xuzhou pigs for fear of being blamed by the Song family.

As a son of the Song family, Song Piao naturally knew the inside story.

Every year, the Song family worships their ancestors.

The Song family will discuss this matter, hoping to find a way to break this barrier.

Of course, the Song family is also worried that the law of raising Xuzhou pigs will be spread, and nobles from aristocratic families will use it to make money. As a result, they will discuss and discuss...

The Xuzhou pig has never been able to get out of Xuzhou.

At least, that's the case on the surface.

There are few things, and naturally they are expensive.

As a result, the price of Xuzhou pigs far exceeds the price of pork itself, and is directly equivalent to the price of beef and mutton, which... becomes a bit outrageous!

"Xuzhou pigs are different from ordinary pigs. They are cooked. At the same time, feeding Xuzhou pigs is also particular. They eat cooked food..." Song Hao said briefly.

The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are indeed open.

but…

For one of her girls to talk about pig farming, if word spread, it would smear the reputation of the Song family.

Therefore.

Song Hao made an ambiguous comment.

"Passed!!" Shiqiao widened his eyes and said in shock: "Fourth Lady, is this what I thought it meant?"

now.

Tokizaki was not the only one who was curious.

In the small courtyard, other people looked at each other curiously.

Song Hao covered his mouth, slightly embarrassed, nodded in embarrassment, and whispered: "Ahem...Shijia, it does mean what you guessed. The pigs originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the pigs that have been slaughtered are easier to fatten and gain weight... "

In the courtyard, everyone looked at each other.

Soon, a complicated expression appeared.

Yu Niang was eager to raise her hands and said regretfully: "The official office of Dali Temple is small and cannot raise pigs. If I have the opportunity, I would like to raise a few Xuzhou pigs myself. Xuzhou pigs in Beijing are expensive and rare, and ordinary pork has a strong taste."

"Yu Niang, if you want to eat Xuzhou pig, come to me!" Song Tiao said with a smile. Others are short of Xuzhou pork, but the Song family is not short of it, and even has a surplus. (End of chapter)
