Chapter 4 The best delicacy in the world
Thinking of this, Li Hao nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you for your notification. Today is the first time our Taohua Village accepts new villagers. This celebration banquet should also be a place for you to clean up the dust!"
"As for the detailed village regulations, someone will give you a formal presentation after the meal."
"Ali and Abiao, you two take them there to eat meat!"
The two white horse soldiers immediately stood up and said yes, and then led the Tang soldiers to eat barbecue in a gentle tone.
Those Tang soldiers could not wait to smell the smell of meat. They trotted all the way, and it seemed that they were very hungry. If the emperor was not by his side, their saliva would probably be drooling three feet.
Li Shimin was also taken there together.
At this moment, Li Shimin could no longer reprimand these Tang troops for showing signs of betrayal.
Because Li Shimin himself is too greedy.
Seeing a bunch of pork belly being roasted on the grill, and then sprinkled with some extremely fragrant powder.
These pork belly are roasted and sizzled with oil, and the meat smell is even more fragrant, and the fragrance is wafting ten miles away.
Seeing Li Shimin's gluttonous appearance, a white horse soldier on the side clicked his tongue twice, and he didn't know how long this man hadn't eaten meat, so he handed Li Shimin a skewer of barbecue.
Li Shiming took it, then lightly bit off a piece of pork belly, chewing.
Then you can feel the gravy explode in your mouth!
Fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, rich in color and fragrance, tender and juicy.
Especially when he tasted that strange spice, Li Shimin was shocked!
"How can there be such delicious food in this world?!"
Li Shimin couldn't believe his mouth.
Is this delicious meal really a reward for the soldiers below?
The flesh is a very precious food, although the nobles of the Sui and Tang dynasties could still afford it.
But this method of roasting meat has far surpassed all the roasting methods Li Shimin has ever eaten.
It tasted so delicious that Li Shimin almost flicked his tongue.
This village chief Li Hao, not only has so many strong soldiers under his command, but also has amazing cooking skills, he is really incomparable and formidable!
Several white horse soldiers near the grill couldn't help laughing seeing Li Shimin like this.
"That's right, this meat is the barbecue meat that the lord personally marinated for us. As long as you work hard in the village and make contributions, the lord will definitely not miss your reward."
Li Shimin looked left and right, and saw that his Tang soldiers were having a good time.
It is estimated that he has long since left his own emperor behind.
Forget it, Li Shimin is too lazy to pursue them.
Anyway, now that my identity is Li Ji'an, not the emperor, I don't want to put on airs, and I still eat meat to be honest.
Li Shimin comforted himself like this in his heart, and then started eating and drinking recklessly.
Originally, Li Shimin and several Tang soldiers had not yet integrated into the white horse soldiers.
But soon he was infected by the atmosphere of eating meat and drinking, and soon became friends with everyone.
Even Li Shimin is not exempt.
Today's meal of wine and meat is really delicious!
Li Shimin himself is bold and unrestrained.
In addition, the identity of the emperor is hidden without hindering the identity of the emperor, and he becomes more relaxed and talks with the white horse soldiers around him. You toast me a bowl of wine and I will return you a jug of wine.
Li Shimin has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and now he is even more expensive than the Ninth Five-Year Master. He has never enjoyed any delicacies from mountains and seas.
But this time was the happiest time he had ever eaten in his life.
Li Hao smiled and watched with satisfaction that these Tang people were about to be assimilated.
That's right.
If these Tang people can be assimilated smoothly this time, maybe they can expand the territory in the future and recruit more people.
This is also my own little experiment.
This lively barbecue banquet lasted for an hour before it came to an end.
Everyone had enough to eat and drink.
Especially Li Shimin was extremely satisfied.
Because he experienced such a hearty feeling for the first time here.
There is just one question that has been lingering in Li Shimin's mind while eating barbecue.
Then Li Shimin chased after Li Hao, and asked with a smile:
"Master Li Hao, I have a question to bother you. May I ask what kind of meat is the roast meat you ate today?"
Li Shimin felt that the taste of the meat he ate today was different from what he used to eat, not to say that it was not delicious, but just not like the beef, sheep, chicken and duck that he usually eats.
Li Hao laughed back and said:
"The meat we eat today is pork."
"Pork?" Li Shimin exclaimed a little.
It's not that Li Shimin has never eaten pork. The taste is indeed similar to pork, but it is far different from the pork he has eaten.
Moreover, pork tasted extremely unpleasant, not to mention that the royal family didn't like it, even ordinary people chose to eat pork only when they had to.
In the eyes of ordinary people, pork is dirty and unpalatable, and it is the most despicable meat.
I really didn't expect that the meat I ate happily today turned out to be smelly pork.
For a moment, Li Shimin looked down upon him again.
Or he overestimated this Peach Blossom Village.
Dare to feel that they eat meat so recklessly, it turns out that it is because they eat cheap meat.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression changed, Li Hao asked:
"What's the matter? Haven't you ever eaten pork?"
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said:
"We generally don't eat pork, it's too dirty because pigs are rolling in manure all day long...the meat stinks."
Li Hao smiled slightly.
It seems that this little officer has a good life, he probably eats mutton all the time.
This is the ideology and the limitations of this era.
In history, until the Song Dynasty, few people ate pork, because pork was considered cheap meat, let alone the Tang Dynasty, which liked to eat mutton.
Su Dongpo specially cooks Dongpo pork to let the common people eat pork.
Li Hao scolded Li Shimin with a smile:
"Li Er, this is because you have not seen it."
"Actually, pigs are the most clean animals. The reason why they roll in the dung pile is to keep their skin moist. As long as you take care of the pigsty diligently, the pigs will be much cleaner than you!"
"As for the stench of pork, it's not because the pigs are rolling in the manure, but because the pigs have not been castrated, so it smells bad. As long as the pigs are castrated, pork tastes better than any other meat!"
"You recall, did the meat you ate smell fishy just now?"
Li Shimin was slightly taken aback.
Li Shimin didn't know anything about the methods of raising pigs that Li Hao said.
But the barbecue meat I ate just now did not have any peculiar smell at all, and it was even very fragrant.
Is it true that as Li Hao said, as long as the pig is castrated, there will be no fishy smell?From this point of view, isn't there another delicious food?
