Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 143 Pork
Meng Mastiff shook his head, he thought that Cheng Jiao had some abilities, but now he was the most disappointing, completely different from the image of the big exam that day.

He thought that although Cheng Jiao's ability was not as good as Ying Zheng's, he was still much better than ordinary people.

Now, in Meng Mastiff's eyes, Cheng Jiao is just a child who is overjoyed and irritable, rather than a candidate who can become the prince.

"Yingzheng, your method seems simple, but in reality it is very difficult to control." Cheng Jiao pointed at Yingzheng and said loudly, venting all his anger.

However, Ying Zheng didn't feel the slightest bit of nervousness, he seemed very calm, and said slowly: "Then tell me, what is the difficulty?"

"The biggest difficulty is the food consumed by 500 people, which is three times that of ordinary people." Cheng Jiao said while observing Ying Zheng's expression, but he was soon disappointed. Ying Zheng was still very calm and failed. Jiao expected nervousness.

How could this happen?
He should be terrified, right?

Why can he be so quiet?

Cheng Jiao's head was buzzing, but Fan Yuqi caught him, and the internal energy flowed into his body, allowing him to wake up.

"500 people or 5000 people, which one is more profitable?" Ying Zheng said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, they burst into laughter, obviously feeling that Cheng Jiao's move was grandstanding and humiliating himself.

"At first, I thought Mr. Chang'an wanted to say something unconsciously. It turned out that the arithmetic has not passed the test."

"When Chang'an was counting, it must have been because he was wearing shoes and had no help from his toes, so he couldn't count any pairs."

"There are 500 people and 5000 people. My children all know who is older and who is younger, but Mr. Chang'an can't tell the difference."

King Qin Zhuangxiang's tone was not very good, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Who is in charge of Chang'an Lord's lecture?"

An old man stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Chang'an's lectures are given by the old man."

"For the time being, let him do his math well, and don't come to the court to embarrass him." Qin Zhuangxiang King said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of laughter, making Cheng Jiao's face flushed, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to get in.

Seeing this situation, Meng Mastiff was even more disappointed. He didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be so virtuous. Compared with Ying Zheng, he was in the sky, and the other was thousands of meters deep in the earth.

When Wang Jian saw Cheng Jiao's words, he was even more disdainful. He concluded that what Cheng Jiao said that day was obtained through fraud and not real materials. Otherwise, Nai He could not even do arithmetic and could not be of the same level.

"Idiot." Wang Ben rarely spoke, but he laughed softly.

"Fool Wang, you have found a companion." Meng Tian whispered.

"Who is his partner? I only know that [-] is less than [-]. I'm not as stupid as him." Wang Ben firmly objected that he was the same person as Cheng Jiao.

After a long time, when everyone had finished laughing, Ying Zheng turned around and saluted King Qin Zhuangxiang, "Father, my son has another good thing for my father to take a look at."

"Zheng'er, tell me what it is?" King Qin Zhuangxiang said quickly, but he knew that it must be the best thing that Ying Zheng can say is a good thing.

The other ministers also waited, wanting to know what Ying Zheng was talking about.

"I established a farm." Ying Zheng said truthfully.

"It's just a farm, and there are many in Daqin." King Zhuangxiang of Qin said in surprise, obviously a little slow.

"That's meaningless. If the father goes there, he will definitely like it there." Ying Zheng said with a chuckle.

"Indeed, since the crown prince said it is a good place, it is naturally a good place. No matter how bad it is, it is better than any farm in the Seven Kingdoms." Lu Buwei said with a stinky foot.

"The prime minister is right. From the past to the present, the prince may agree, but not much." Zhang Yi continued.

"It's true, you should go and have a look." King Zhuangxiang of Qin became interested again when he heard what they said.

"The top priority, let's go now!" Ying Zheng said happily, and then led the curious officials to his newly established farm.

The villa is not far from the city of Xianyang. King Zhuangxiang of Qin arrived at the destination soon with many ministers.

I saw the beautiful mountains and clear waters here, the singing of birds and swallows, what a scenic spot.

Outside the villa are a few farmhouses, scattered among the fields, connected with each other by trails.The sun is scorching, but there are many farmers working hard in the fields.

The arrival of King Zhuangxiang of Qin immediately attracted eye-catching and curious eyes, only a few domestic dogs barked loudly.

in the farm,
King Qin Zhuangxiang sat in the upper seat, took off his handkerchief, and wiped off his sweat. Behind him, there were two court ladies holding fans to relieve King Qin Zhuangxiang's fever.

After King Qin sat down, the officials sat down according to their status.

Looking out from the hall, you can see a huge pool on which there are a lot of crucian carp, grass carp and other fish, which can be used for people who come to the farm to relieve boredom and obtain food.

A little further out of the pool is a field with a lot of food, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and there are many red peppers on the edge.

"Zheng'er, when you called me this time, you asked me to eat, right?" King Qin Zhuangxiang wiped his sweat, and his huge royal robe was dripping wet.

"As my father said, the child asked his father to come out this time because he wanted to invite his father to eat." Ying Zheng said with a chuckle.

"Could it be potatoes and sweet potatoes?" King Qin Zhuangxiang asked in surprise. Ever since he tried Ying Zheng's skills last time, his mouth has been sharp.

When the officials heard the words, they also swallowed their saliva.

"Father, wait a moment, we will see the outcome soon." Ying Zheng said convincingly, thinking to himself, the time should be almost there.

Sure enough, a row of beautiful dishes came out, immediately attracting most eyeballs, and serving dishes to the ministers in priority.

First of all, King Zhuangxiang of Qin didn't know what it was, he could only tell it was meat, but he couldn't tell the details.

It wasn't until later, when a pig that was roasted into a dark brown color came up, that it became clear.

He was taken aback immediately, and quickly asked, "Zheng'er, don't you want us to eat pork?"

"Exactly." Ying Zheng no longer concealed it.

"Zheng'er, the pork is not tasty, it's very coquettish, and I feel like vomiting just after eating it." King Qin Zhuangxiang's expression was not very pleasing to the eye.

Back then when he was a proton in Zhao country, he was forced to eat a whole plate of undercooked pork by that hateful King Zhao Xiaocheng.

Because the pork has not been castrated, the meat is sour and has a strong smell. Even if a hungry ghost comes, he will just pinch his nose and leave the pork in disgust.

In particular, the plate of pork was still undercooked, which had been a nightmare for King Qin Zhuangxiang for a long time, so that when he was eating, once he thought of pork, he would feel nauseous.

After seeing the roast suckling pig, Meng Mastiff's expression was not very pleasing to the eye, and he quickly said: "Prince, the old man's stomach is still a bit full, so I don't want to eat these pork."

When he was young and fighting, he was ignorant and went to a farmer's house to steal a pig. Several young men roasted it and ate it, and then vomited all over the floor.The unpleasant taste was something the general would never forget.

So much so that the general lost his temper when he saw pork.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was Ying Zheng, Meng Mastiff might have turned his back on him long ago.

King Zhuangxiang of Qin and the general expressed their opinions, and the others followed suit and refused, just finding any reason.

"Prince, I'm sorry, my stomach is a little uncomfortable today, if I vomit on the dinner table after eating, it will be bad."

"My stomach doesn't feel right either."

"Me too."

Looking at the ministers shaking their heads, Yingzheng explained: "Everyone, don't get me wrong, my pork is different from other pork, and it doesn't have that fishy smell."

"Zheng'er, you even lied to my father. I have never eaten pork before. Although I have no choice but to do so, the smell will be unforgettable for my whole life." King Qin Zhuangxiang clearly did not believe it.

Could it be that this pig will change?
It simply cannot be the case.

"Prince, isn't the old man so hot and easy to deceive? You look at the big ears, limbs and hooves, and that smooth and similar nose, can you not be a pig?" Meng Mastiff looked suspiciously.

Everyone didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to refute it, and continued to refuse with excuses.

"Prince, I'm dying, my stomach hurts sharply."

"The old man's body is not comfortable, so he can't eat meat, otherwise he will die suddenly."

"For the sake of my great achievements for Daqin, I beg the prince to spare my life!"

"..." Ying Zheng continued to curse in his heart. These guys just let them eat pork, but it was as if they wanted to kill them.

Seeing Ying Zheng looking at him, Meng Yi quickly said: "Prince, it's not that I don't want to eat, but because I'm not feeling well."

"Aren't you feeling well?" Ying Zheng asked Meng Tian again.

"It's all my brother's fault. He passed it on to me and made me feel uncomfortable." Meng Tian cursed in a low voice.

"Wang Ben, what about you?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

"I...I'll eat it right away." Wang Ben said with a sharp knife, and then he picked up a piece of pork and was about to put it in his mouth.

"No, Ben'er!" Wang Jian's expression changed drastically, but he knew that pork was unpalatable, and he clearly didn't want Wang Ben to have such a painful look back.

But it was too late to shout, Wang Ben had already eaten into his stomach, and said: "It's delicious."

Then, Wang Ben was the first to eat again, and the wind swept away.

"Is it really spicy?" Meng Tian asked in a low voice.

"Of course." Wang Ben grabbed the big pig's hooves and took a bite. "It's much more delicious than what my dad makes."

"This brat." Wang Jian said angrily, as if he wanted to teach Wang Ben a lesson.

"Wang Ben, don't eat it, otherwise, you will be even more stupid." Meng Tian reminded in a low voice.

"You are stupid, your whole family is stupid." Wang Ben came out of character, and after glancing at the blindfolded mastiff, he quickly changed his words: "General, I, I don't mean that."

Of course, Mongolian mastiff would not care as much as a junior like Wang Ben.

"Didn't you two lose to me when we practiced last time? You always said I was stupid. If you lost to me, wouldn't you be even stupider than me?" Wang Ben said angrily.

Both Meng Tian and Meng Yi blushed, not daring to despise Wang Ben.

"Okay, you all stop arguing." Ying Zheng came to persuade the fight.

With Ying Zheng speaking, these people naturally dare not continue to quarrel. Looking at the eyes of the officials, all three of them bowed their heads in shame.

When the officials were not paying attention, the Zhu family and Situ Wanli were the first to eat a lot.

The Zhu family held two pig's trotters in their hands, took one bite at a time, ignoring etiquette, and said as they ate, "After all, what method did the prince use to make it, it is dozens of times sweeter than the one I made at the beginning, and the taste is just right."

"That's right! The Zhu family and I have already made pork, but the taste is not as spicy as the one made by the prince." Situ Wanli grabbed the pig's butt and took a bite.

Seeing these people, King Qin Zhuangxiang couldn't help but feel moved.

"How about I test it?" Qin Zhuangxiang tried to convince himself, picked up a small piece of pork, and put it in his mouth.

Immediately, King Zhuangxiang of Qin's expression changed greatly, and all the officials were shocked. They were almost deceived by Situ Wanli of the Zhu family.

Just when the ministers were honored, King Zhuangxiang of Qin said, "It's delicious!"

"Is it really spicy and delicious? How about I try it too?" The Mengmastiff moved his chopsticks, picked up a small piece of meat, and put it in his mouth. He immediately let out a cry, cheered and ate it, and then Just eat it up first.

Because King Qin Zhuangxiang had already revealed that there is no need to be afraid of etiquette when eating today.

The general simply grabbed a suckling pig, looked at the direction of the pig's head and bit it down, screaming and continued: "It's delicious! It's so delicious! The old man has never eaten something so delicious and spicy. It feels like all his life was wasted." .”

When the officials saw the people who were eating too much, they couldn't help swallowing, and quickly changed their words.

"Prince, I don't have a stomachache now. It's transferred to my head. I should eat pork to treat it. I hope the prince will show mercy and give me a way out. These pork are life-saving."

"I am even more nervous. If there is no pork in my stomach, I will not live until the next day."

"The pig is mine."

Ying Zheng looked at these old foxes, one by one became more cunning, and now they were all grabbing pork.

"Could it be really spicy and delicious?" Meng Tian asked in surprise.

"Looking at their appearance, they are so excited to eat." Meng Yi swallowed.

"What did you lie to you for?" Wang Ben said angrily.

"Pork tastes really good." Ying Zheng said truthfully.

"The prince has said that pork is delicious. Look at General Cunxiao. He spit out the bones after one bite." Wang Ben said angrily. The two brothers always said he was stupid, but it was because of him. The truth is taciturn, plus does not want to calculate.

"No, I'll try it first." Meng Tian said quickly, then picked up a piece of pork with his chopsticks, and began to eat it first, "The taste is really good, Wang Ben didn't lie to us."

"The prince is right, it really tastes the best." Meng Yi said happily.

Wang Ben was very depressed. When he was wrong, they blamed him, and when he was good, they blamed the prince.

However, apart from marching and fighting, he seldom thinks about other aspects.

Ying Zheng bit the pork in his mouth, but he was a little disappointed. The taste was not as good as the one on the earth plane. The workmanship was rough and the meat quality was average. It was obviously because these boars were castrated in the later stage, and there was a foul smell deep in the meat. .

"Alas! In general, it should be improved a little bit." Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh softly.

When the ministers heard this, they all smiled bitterly. If this kind of delicacy has to be improved, is it possible that there can be something more delicious?
"Prince, I think this is the most delicious." Wang Ben didn't think much about the spiciness and simply said to Ying Zheng.

"There is something even more delicious, you will understand it later." Ying Zheng chuckled.

"Prince, don't think it's too spicy. It's important to eat enough now. If you get annoyed, those guys will finish it off." Li Cunxiao brought a freshly broken pig's trotter to Ying Zheng, and said in a low voice.

Ying Zheng is angry and ridiculous, this guy knows how to eat with a single brain.

There are only four things that can attract Li Cunxiao's attention, one is food, the other is drinks, the third is Yingzheng, and the fourth is marching and fighting.

He didn't say anything, and ate very quietly, chewing slowly, not out of consideration for etiquette, but because of his natural nature, he has long been used to it.

The huge pig's trotters are only eaten in small pieces, and it takes a long time before the pig's trotters are finished.

After a long time, this group of "tiger and wolf army" had completely conquered the pork and ate up all the pork on the table, leaving only a few residues and broken bones.

"It's so delicious! I have never eaten something so delicious." Qin Zhuangxiang King said with a smile.

Since today, he no longer has any attachments to pork, and the thought of eating such delicious pork in the future makes him feel good.

Also on this day, King Qin Zhuangxiang completely forgot about King Zhao Xiaocheng.

"It's indeed a delicacy in the world. The old man's life was wasted in the past, and he missed such a delicious food. If it weren't for the prince, the old man might not have the chance to try it." Meng Mastiff rubbed his rising belly, feeling good.

"If you can eat pork once in your life, it is a real life." Lu Buwei gave pork a high evaluation.

"It's rich and colorful, all of which are top grade. This time, it's thanks to the crown prince's blessing that we can eat delicious pork." Zhang Yi laughed.

"After pork, only fine wine can make my heart beat." Li Cunxiao always had a large drinker, so he picked up the wine bottle and started eating in big gulps.

"It's so fresh. How did the prince make it? When I made it, it wasn't as spicy as it was." Zhu Jia continued in surprise.

"I don't know either. I'll know if I ask after the officials have dispersed." Situ Wanli said in a low voice, also out of curiosity.

"Wang Ben, I will never say that you are stupid again, I apologize to you." Meng Tian said cautiously.

"Yes! Wang Ben, I also apologize to you." Meng Yi looked very cautious.

"Relax! I haven't taken it to heart at all." Wang Ben scratched the back of his head and laughed.

"But speaking of returning, this pork is really the best, even better than when the prince's mansion was training soldiers." Meng Yi said joyfully.

"Yes! This is the first time I know that the prince's cooking skills are so sharp. Although it is a small skill, it is superb." Meng Tian said happily.

"Speaking of return, Zheng'er, why does this pork taste different from other pork?" Qin Zhuangxiang asked in surprise.

"Yes! According to common sense, this pork should be very smelly, but this pork does not have such a smell." Meng Mastiff was also curious, and clearly prepared to raise some pigs after returning home.

The ministers were also curious about this. In their memory, pork did not look like this. After being cooked, one could smell a stench from a long distance away.

"That's right! It's so fresh! Didn't the prince use some kind of spell?"

"Zibuyu speaks strangely, don't talk nonsense, there must be some special way to deal with it."

"Indeed, it should have been punished excessively."

"For the details, let Da Si Nong talk about it! He is an expert in agriculture." Ying Zheng said with a chuckle.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Zhu family, obviously looking forward to what he would say next.

Zhu Jia was originally a peasant hero, quite majestic, and now he is not nervous to be watched by everyone, he stood up slowly, tidied up the oil and clothes, and then looked at everyone quietly.

Even Li Cunxiao stopped the wine bottle in his hand and looked at the Zhu family.

"The procedure is very simple, you only need to castrate it, and then follow the usual method of raising pigs to complete it." When Zhu's family said this, the audience was shocked, obviously disapproving of Zhu's words.

"Castration? Is it really that simple?" King Qin Zhuangxiang asked in surprise.

"Of course, Wei Chen has prepared a new book and asked the king to read it." The Zhu family took out a blue-covered book from his pocket and handed it to King Qin Zhuangxiang.

"Let me take a look first." King Qin Zhuangxiang was ill and very sleepy, but he still looked at it patiently.

He half-closed his eyes, flipped through it carefully with his big rough hands, and quickly read it.

"It's just castration, how can it have such an effect and make pork become so delicious?" Meng Mastiff obviously didn't believe it.

"Castration? Da Sinong's work is a bit unethical!" Meng Yi said with a sly smile.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Meng Mastiff scolded.

Meng Yi knew that he had lost his etiquette and talked nonsense in such a forum, and he couldn't help but lower his head in shame.

"Da Sinong, children are ignorant and naughty by nature, I hope Da Sinong will not blame you." Meng Mastiff apologized, cupping his hands.

"Maybe it's okay!" The Zhu family has always been kind.

"Speaking of this method, it was not the Zhu family's idea, but the Crown Prince Yingzheng's idea of ​​it." Situ Wanli added.

Everyone gasped. They didn't expect that the method of making pork was really thought up by Ying Zheng.

"Originally it was His Highness the Crown Prince, with His Highness the Crown Prince present, Daqin is worry-free." Meng Mastiff said a word of encouragement.

You must know that this general has always had a tough character, but now he speaks words of reward to others.

"I took a brief look at it. If it is the same as what you said, but is it really possible for pigs to be castrated?" King Qin Zhuangxiang still had doubts.

"Your Majesty, now you can see that the taste of pork is completely different from before." Zhu's tone was very sincere.

"In that case, it's true." King Qin Zhuangxiang smiled awkwardly, he had never put on airs.

"Not only has the taste of this pork become more delicious, but the output has also increased. In just three months, it can increase to more than 200 kilograms." Zhu Jia added.

"Are you serious?" King Qin Zhuangxiang said joyfully.

"Seriously." Zhu's tone was sincere.

"I didn't expect that not only would the taste be so delicious, but the yield would also be so high. It's really the great luck of the Qin Dynasty." King Qin Zhuangxiang said happily.

"Yes! If it can be mass-produced, it will be a great luck for the common people of Qin." Zhang Yi said happily.

"After pork is eaten, the common people will be well-nourished and their physique will be strengthened, and there will be much fewer deaths from diseases." Lu Buwei was very happy.

"Soldiers in the army can also eat big meat every day, and their overall level will increase." Meng Mastiff talked about Qin Jun with one heart.

"The Zhu family and Situ Wanli have made contributions to the Great Qin, and they will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand pieces of silk." Qin Zhuangxiang King entrusted.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince proposed the method of castrating pigs this time, and this humble minister only made it according to the Prince's thoughts." The Zhu family bowed their hands and saluted.

"We're just following the same pattern. The one who really deserves the reward is His Royal Highness." Situ Wanli didn't dare to ask for this reward.

"Naturally, I will never forget Zheng'er. This time, I will reward 5 taels of gold, 15 pieces of silk and satin, a pile of tears from sharks, a coral tree, and [-] maids." Qin Zhuangxiang revealed loudly.
