Chapter 204 Pickled Chicken Feet
Since portable military rations were "invented", major businessmen and powerful people who sensitively discovered business opportunities have also begun to raise chickens.
However, large-scale farming is not something that everyone can do.
So far, in addition to Tangjiazhuang's "Chicken-Purchase Art" because of Tang Qi's "Chicken-Purchase Urn" , the scale of raising chickens has become increasingly larger.
All other chicken farms have to be invalidated due to frequent chicken plague.
However, farmers who raise chickens alone get cheaper, so the chickens that were originally worthless, that is, eggs, are becoming more and more valuable, and have increased their income.
The same is true for the chicken farm in Tangqi Village.
As the scale continues to expand, tens of thousands of chickens have been domesticated, and a lot of chicken and eggs can be produced every day.
The chicken is either sold for sale, or supplied to the Hou Mansion, or to improve the food for the craftsmen in the workshop.
Because the chicken feet cannot be sold at a price, people with some status do not want to eat them, so they can only throw them away or give them to the homeless beggars in the land temple.
Now, as pig farms continue to expand, the price of pork around Chang'an is also falling.
The people who used to treat chicken feet as precious meat to improve their lives because they couldn't afford to eat meat, and even looked down on this little meat.
When Tang Qi saw it, he couldn't help but feel a waste of resources.
"How can you throw away such a good thing in chicken feet? It's so wasteful!"
The manager of the chicken farm was very confused: "There is no meat on the chicken feet, and many people think it is dirty. Now they can't sell it at all, so don't you have to throw it away?"
Liu Ju and Wei Kang had never seen chickens running on the ground, and they were looking at the freshness!
When he heard this, he agreed and said, "Yes, sir, these chicken feet have no meat. The ones running here and there are still dirty every day, so we don't want to eat them!"
The manager asked tentatively: "What the boss means, can you use chicken feet to feed pigs?"
"Nonsense, take such delicious food to feed pigs?" Tang Qi waved his hand, "Don't throw it away in the future. All the chicken feet are collected. I will teach you how to deal with it!"
As he said that, he asked the manager to collect the chicken feet that he was going to throw today, packed up a whole bag, and brought it to the kitchen together.
"Your Highness, the little marquis, you wait." Tang Qi drove the cook away and rolled up his sleeves himself, "The teacher will show you your skills!"
The little marquis refers to Wei Kang.
This kid is blessed by his father. Liu Che was forcibly named the marquis because he didn't know how to walk. He is still a marquis of Yichun with a considerable value!
According to the number of fiefs, like Tang Qi, there are 20,000 households!
From this we can see how relaxed Emperor Wu of Han was when he was young, and he was appointed as an official and a marquis based on his heart.
Later, it may be that the Wei clan was too powerful, or it may be that Wei Qingnian kept admonishing him. When Wei Kang was young, Liu Che used any excuse to get rid of the title of Marquis of Yichun.
But it's still useless.
Wei Kang, who lost his title, was regarded even more by Liu Che.
Moreover, Wei Kang did not disappoint his surname. Although he was far inferior to his father and his cousin in terms of talent, he was not inferior to his loyalty.
Later, Liu Ju betrayed his relatives and the only one who stayed by his side was Wei Kang.
This also implicated the entire family.
It's too early to say this now. Wei Kang is only a few years older than the young prince, and he is still a child who is playing with mud.
When he heard that Tang Qi was going to be a novel delicacy for his master, the saliva of the two dolls almost flowed down!
Tang Qi skillfully chopped the chicken feet into half, and then instructed the chef to peel the garlic and wash the peppers.
Chili seeds were also brought back by Liu Che to the man, and now they have become one of the most popular spices inside and outside Chang'an.
A further away, that is, the limited seeds have not yet been spread.
Liu Ju and Wei Kang had two identities, so of course they could not do heavy work.
Seeing that the two were bored, Tang Qi simply took up the teacher's majesty and directed them to boil water and serve it.
Two sons of a daughter are actually having a lot of fun.
It was shocked to the manager who knew their identities. He wanted to stop him but didn't dare to stop him. He looked so funny that he scratched his head.
The peppers, garlic, ginger, etc. are prepared quickly, and then soak them in salt water.
That’s right, Tang Qi’s so-called delicacy is the pickled pepper chicken feet that attracted countless people to fight for the future!
The making of pickled pepper chicken feet is not complicated. The most important thing is the water of pickled pepper, because the taste is probably not as good as that of later generations.
But the advantage is that it is fresh. Prepare pickled pepper water in advance in the future, and the taste can be further improved.
After chopping a large bag of chicken feet, put it in a large pot and cook it slightly softer to make it easier to taste.
Then soak all the cooked chicken feet in pickled pepper water.
In addition to chicken feet, Tang Qi ordered people to find other vegetables, and put them in pickled pepper water and soak them together.
Liu Ju was young and couldn't sit still. At this time, he was already squatting beside him: "Sir, how long will it take to eat?"
The fragrance of pickled pepper water and chicken feet has made the little prince unable to help but spit!
Tang Qi clapped his hands: "Don't worry, you have to soak it for a long time to taste. Soak it all day today and you can eat it tomorrow."
"It will take so long." Liu Ji drooped his ears in disappointment, but soon became excited, "Sir, can I live here today? I asked Wei Kang to bring all his studies and will not lose progress! Right Wei Kang?"
Wei Kang came up at some point and nodded fiercely when he heard this: "Don't worry, your highness, I have brought all my studies!"
Thanks to the launch of Xinzhi, two little kids can only use a horse, so they bring all the lessons they have to do with them.
In the past, I had to use several carriages!
Tang Qi knew how tempting food was, so he did not object: "Of course, I will send someone to report it to His Majesty."
"The father will definitely not object!" Liu Ji smiled, "I know I have been following the sir, so I am so happy!"
Tang Qi could only be speechless.
I have never seen such a big-hearted father!
The two little guys really did what they said. Although they had been thinking about chicken feet, they still completed their studies seriously.
Even Tang Qi admired his concentration.
It is worthy of being the baby of Liu Che and Wei Qing. Children aged 6 and 10 years old should be at the age of being disgusted by people, but when they study, they are more harder than those of college entrance examination candidates in later generations!
When Teacher Tang was happy, he improvised two sets of test papers, and two primary school masters wailed repeatedly.
That being said.
Early the next morning, the two children jumped up in full spirit.
He pulled Tang Qi, who was sleepy, and walked to the kitchen, drooling while pulling: "Sir, can you eat the chicken feet?"
I can only say that the temptation of food is really great.
