While everyone was having a banquet, a group of maids came and set up a batch of new dishes on everyone's table.

"Well? Is this... jerky? This is a precious thing. Your Majesty is really generous this time. Such a large piece of jerky can take so much salt to marinate. Old minister has a good taste today."

Wang Yun said with a smile.

After he said this, Liu He also noticed a plate of meat slices placed in front of him. The color really looked like pickled meat.

In this era, for princes and nobles, meat is not fresh, but cured meat is different. The reason is very simple. Marinated meat requires a lot of salt, and salt is indeed extremely expensive. For example, when Liu He was still a general, the expense of salt in the mansion was tens of thousands of yuan in a year, and this was the result of Zhang Yu's thrift in the family. It was not surprising that many ministers and nobles used salt to reach one million yuan a year.

Liu He saw that the cured meat was exquisitely made, but his heart was bleeding.

"My money..."

Just after Wang Yun took a bite, he became surprised again.

"Hmm? It's not salty, not jerky? And it seems to be beef. It has no flavor of seasoning, but the taste is surprisingly good. This is fresh."

After he said this, the ministers and Liu He also became curious and started to taste it.

"Hmm? This is..."

Liu He is so familiar with this taste.

“Jerky?”

Others can't eat it. As a person who has traveled through time in the 21st century, how could Liu He not know the taste of jerky beef?

Beef jerky was still very rare in this era. First of all, cows are used to plow the fields, and there are certain rules for slaughtering every year, so beef is rare. As for making beef jerky, it is even more unheard of.

Of course, the beef jerky that Liu He ate in his previous life was all made after many processing. The taste was quite different from the one placed in front of him now, but this did not affect his recognition immediately.

Yang Biao took a bite and seemed very satisfied.

"I heard for a long time that His Majesty is grazing in Bingzhou, and there are countless cattle and sheep. Now I have made such delicious food, which really makes me admire you."

"Yes, this beef jerky tastes very different from ordinary steamed meat. It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful."

Cui Lie praised him.

Liu He looked at the beef jerky in front of him and thoughts. This was the first time he saw this food that was very ordinary in his previous life, which inevitably reminded him of some things in his previous life.

However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, which made him feel a little ecstatic.

"Yes, why didn't I think about it?"

Late at night, Gong Saner led two people in the palace and hurried to a brightly lit palace.

"The grass-roots kowtow to Your Majesty!"

When Liu He saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "No need to be polite, get up."

These two are Ning Lian and Wang Shan, the current operator of Lianshan Restaurant and one of the bosses. After the wedding banquet, people from the palace came to take them to the palace to meet the saint.

Although the two knew that the emperor was the general and one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of their restaurant, they were acquaintances, but they were still a little nervous when they entered the palace for the first time.

"Your Majesty, is it...is it not satisfactory to today's banquet?"

Ning Lian asked nervously.

Liu He saw their worries and smiled slightly.

"Don't be nervous. I'm calling you here today, it has nothing to do with the banquet. I want to understand something. That beef jerky, what are you two doing?"

When the two of them heard this, they immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this beef is all beef cattle slaughtered according to the prescribed regulations of the court. The grass people will never dare to kill plowing cattle privately..."

Seeing them like this, Liu He knew that they were scared by himself.

"Haha, I didn't blame you. Besides, even if you slaughter a plowing ox, it's the responsibility of Luoyang Order. Why do I ask myself? I just saw that this beef jerky is very novel. I wonder how you thought of this way to make meat?"

When the two heard this, they breathed a little relieved.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter was a coincidence. Cao Min saw a snake at home not long ago. His body had been dried up for a long time. Cao Min had a sudden idea at that time, what would the food taste like if it was air-dried like this? So he tried it more and this jerky was made."

"So that's it, you're always thinking."

Liu He praised.

"By the way, this beef jerky is dehydrated. I wonder how long it can be stored without rotting?"

Ning Lian honestly replied: "Your Majesty, this is the first time that Caomin has been involved in this. He is not skilled, so this jerky can only be stored for about ten days. With the many dehydration methods that Caomin has tried now, if it is completely dehydrated, it will affect the taste and be difficult to chew. If it is not completely dehydrated, it will become moldy for about ten days at most."

"It's only ten days?" Liu He frowned slightly.

When the two of them heard his tone, they were obviously a little unhappy and immediately became scared.

"Your Majesty... If your Majesty gives the people some time, the people can come up with a solution..."

Liu He looked at the two of them and suddenly remembered something.

"You two are here later, I will go and get something."

The two of them dared not refuse to obey and stood there in a hurry.

Liu He stood up and left, came to the side hall next to him, and then opened the system interface in his mind.

After entering the "Item Exchange" interface, keep turning down.

"Ah, I have it, it's you!"

He picked a book called "Kitchen Record" and immediately spent 500 points to exchange it out.

"Ha, this book is much thinner than the previous two books "The Book of Divine Works" and "The Book of City Building". No wonder it's so cheap."

He complained casually and then quickly looked through it.

After a long time, he exclaimed: "Haha, there is indeed! This method of making various jerky meat is so detailed and comprehensive, and it is worthy of being a treasure book produced by the Level 4 system!"

He walked out quickly and waved to Gong Saner.

"Come, give them this book."

Gong Saner took the book and then handed it over to the two of them.

The couple's eyes lit up when they saw the name of the book.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

"This book was given by a master in the early years. However, I have been fighting outside for many years, so I have thrown it in the corner and forgotten it for a long time. When I think about it today, I just give it to you. There is a method of making jerky meat. You should study it carefully and make jerky meat that can be stored for several months. If this is done, I will reward you very much."

Both of these couples are typical chefs. After seeing this book, they are already excited and eager to try. Not to mention that there is a heavy reward, even if Liu He wants to stop them now, he may not be able to stop them.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the people will do their best to accomplish this!"

"Well, that's great. Gong Saner, send them out of the palace."
