Chapter 101: Pork that was slaughtered

The two key farmhouse households Shi Lei found naturally have their own outstanding features, otherwise they would not have been selected by Shi Lei.

These two are rare and careful people among the subordinates. Unlike the other old men, they are all a group of rough men.

Although they can discover even the most subtle things when they go to the battlefield, they become guys who have fallen into oil bottles and can't even think of helping them.

Although they also have a typical figure of a chef, with a big head and a thick neck, they also feel tough no matter how they look, but their swordsmanship is light and agile. At least they are more reliable to practice knife skills.

With their accurate hands, they can do some jobs such as knives, knifes, etc., and they will be able to get started soon.

Of course, if you want to practice the skill of making stews, you must be short of the time to light the heat, but it is enough to cook.

As for the placing techniques commonly used in later generations and the food carvings for decorating plates, it is better to arrange a decent carving guy to change his career.

In the past, when I carved wood, I turned around and specially carved some food. The techniques are not much different, and the hardness of the materials is so low.

You don’t have to use other big tools like planes, just relying on a pair of hands and various carving knives to achieve the desired effect.

With these two people helping, Shi Lei was temporarily liberated and just tell them how to cook the ingredients at hand. The two people who have experienced the Huotou Army are still sure about the temperature and other aspects.

What the two of them are dealing with at this time is the dish that Shi Lei intends to take out, a dish of pickled fish and a boiled meat slice.

Needless to mention this sauerkraut fish, which has been prepared by our own family. There is a habit of pickling sauerkraut in Shuzhong.

The environment here determines that if you want to store all kinds of vegetables, making sauerkraut is the most durable way, so there are very rich varieties of sauerkraut.

Shi Lei just chose to pickle vegetables according to his previous life's habits, and the color is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

The fish fillets are easy to handle, and they just need to exercise their knife skills.

A river fish that was transformed by Shi Lei and focused on improving the delicious taste soon turned into a fillet and was carefully placed into a beautiful pattern.

Add some peppers that taste strong, and the dish will be alive.

In a similar way, boiled meat slices can be delivered to the pot soon.

What Shi Lei chose here is pork that was relatively less eaten in this era.

In terms of popularity, it seems that the mutton at this time had more people and more audiences than pork.

In Shi Lei's opinion, one reason is that pigs seem to be rather obscene.

I wander around in the mud every day and make myself poop from time to time. The image and smell are not satisfactory.

So I have been despised and my status is not as good as dog meat, so I will definitely not be able to eat a big meal. Relatively speaking, poor people eat more and the price is cheaper.

But the pigs are raised at home. Maybe they have to use a lot of food, otherwise they will not grow fast and have no meat.

No matter how bad the food is, it is all good things now, and no one is willing to waste it on pigs.

And the food of sheep seems to be much cleaner, it eats grass.

I never look so sloppy, it’s much cleaner than a pig, which makes me feel relieved.

Besides, sheep food can be seen everywhere, which is not something that comes from later generations, so it is troublesome to find a lawn.

The food of sheep is very rich, so you don’t need to take care of it. Just throw the sheep there and then chase it home after eating. This is more troublesome and easy to raise, and the cost is still low, so there are naturally more sheep raised.

The two are the taste issue.

Although mutton has a mutton smell, the Tang Dynasty today does not lack spices. How to deal with mutton is a very simple thing for most people.

The fine dishes of various wealthy families are mostly made of mutton, which naturally greatly increases the popularity of mutton.

Of course, Shi Lei thinks this has a lot to do with the previous historical process.

The large-scale integration of the grassland ethnic group and the original Han ethnic group, and even Li Er has a bit of the meaning of Hu blood. Will the upward and downward effect be effective? The changes in dietary habits brought about are also obvious.

In addition, at this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty highly praised all kinds of things from the Western Regions, including various foods and spices.

In summary, the status of mutton has increased a lot.

As for pork, because castration technology has not been promoted, most pork will have a odor that is difficult to remove.

This taste is something that many people can't stand. Even if there are various spices to cover up, many people still cannot get used to it.

Of course, for poor people who can’t even eat meat, there is no such thing as having so many concerns. It would be nice to have a meal of meat.

Due to various reasons, pork is not as popular as mutton.

Especially at this time, the tall, rich and handsome guys almost never touch pork, at least they won’t eat pork frequently.

As for beef, oxen are important laborers in every household and even need to be registered with the government.

It is illegal for ordinary people to kill oxen, even their own oxen are not good, and the chances of being able to eat beef are really slim.

For example, in Water Margin, saying that heroes and heroes from all walks of life bring a few kilograms of beef at any time can only mean that they are a group of people with a rebellious spirit and do illegal things every day. It is obvious that the author deliberately did it.

However, the law also shows that killing plowing ox is illegal, and there is no saying that cows cannot go to the fields to work.

For example, yaks that will die of heat when they come to the mainland, and bisons that are not smaller than rhinos. These are not clearly stated within the scope of prohibition.

There are more articles that can be done here. Shi Lei has already had some ideas. Maybe when will he be able to manage beef at home.

But that's all for the future. Now, Shi Lei plans to let several guests experience the charm of pork.

Shi Lei had long told the farmers about the need to castrate the pig.

After knowing that such a secret skill was the kind of old soldiers who made a vow to keep it secret in front of Shi Lei, betting on the family's wealth and life.

People today even regard vows more than their lives. However, unlike later generations, people who regard vows as if they drink cold water, they do not take them seriously.

Even if a contract with legal significance is not afraid to think of the other party to the worst level and to block all possible loopholes as much as possible.

Even if you get caught by your opponent, you may tear up the contract and take the opportunity to cheat you.

If such a secret is really leaked from these old soldiers, Shi Lei would not even doubt that they could kill the whole family with a knife to apologize to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei couldn't stand such a thing, so he stopped all the old soldiers' oaths early, believing that they would still try their best to protect such technology.

Sure enough, a deep cellar appeared in the homes of these old soldiers soon, and the function was self-evident.

The pork Shi Lei used this time was obtained from Lao Jun, and it was part of the pork he had specially transformed.

This part of the pig has the attractive aroma of a small fragrant pig and the elastic but not stale meat. Only making white-cooked meat can definitely conquer a large number of picky tongues.

Unfortunately, Shi Lei can't taste this delicious food yet, so he can only give these guests a discount first and reward the uncles by the way.
