Zhuo Wenjun was helpless.

I don’t know what caused Tang Qi’s sudden convulsion. If he doesn’t eat the best beef, mutton and venison, what’s so good about the unpalatable pork?

"Sir, if you are greedy for meat, why not send someone to collect some game?" Zhuo Wenjun suggested, "Wild deer, robe, rabbit and even snake meat are all good!"

Tang Qi rolled his eyes: "How can those things be compared with braised pork?"

Zhuo Wenjun had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to send someone to buy it.

The poor butler thought he had heard wrongly, and after checking again and again, he realized that the Marquis really wanted to eat pork.

Is this okay?

What is pork? It is a despicable meat that only poor people who cannot smell the smell of meat would consider eating it all year round.

How could a great man, one of the Nine Qings, eat that food when he was in peace!

Even the servants of the Hou Mansion didn’t bother to eat it!

However, his arms couldn't lift his thighs, and he didn't know what kind of ecstasy was given to him, so he had to eat pork.

The housekeeper had no choice but to worry that his servants would not be able to handle the matter, so he had to go to the countryside outside the city and search for a long time before buying a few clean piglets.

These days, pork is not considered meat at all, it is completely worthless, and few people sell it in the market.

Only in the countryside can the poor keep a few to satisfy their cravings.

The dignified butler of the Marquis Mansion actually went to the countryside to buy piglets in person?

This strange thing spread from one person to another, and soon it reached Princess Pingyang's mansion.

Princess Pingyang was playing with Wei Qing's two children at that time. When she suddenly heard about this, she thought there was something wrong with her hearing.

"You mean, you have to eat pork when you're in peace?"

"It's absolutely true, princess." The steward of the princess's palace was also very confused, "You said that An Dinghou was also a Jiuqing after all, and it was also rumored that he was a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Why do you suddenly want to eat that despicable thing?"

Princess Pingyang thought about it, but no matter how she thought about it, she still found it incredible.

"What do you think?"

"Look, little man, are you planning to do something strange again during the rest of the year? You need to use a piglet, and you deliberately said you want to eat pork in order to deceive others?"

It must be said that human imagination is unlimited.

When Princess Pingyang heard this, she immediately felt that it made sense.

After all, no matter from which point of view, it is impossible for a dignified prince to be willing to eat that smelly and fishy stuff.

"In this case, I am a little curious." Princess Pingyang smiled, "His Majesty also said that we should have more contacts between our two families, so as not to feel lonely alone in Chang'an during the period of stability."

"You go and submit a post. If it's convenient when we settle down, I'll take my husband and I to see what's new!"

It's also out of good intentions.

After all, the fact that the Marquis eats pork is too shocking, and if word spreads, people will inevitably come to watch the fun.

The most indispensable thing in Chang'an City is the princes and nobles. It would be bad if they bumped into Mr. Tang.

After all, Princess Pingyang is the emperor's biological sister. With her coming forward, those who are short-sighted will know about it, and naturally they will not feel uncomfortable in the Anding Marquis Mansion.

Of course there is nothing inconvenient for Tang Qi.

So after a while, Princess Pingyang appeared at the Anding Marquis Mansion with Wei Qing's eldest son, Mr. and Mrs. Wei.

When they found Tang Qi under the leadership of the steward, he was commanding a group of servants in the Hou Mansion to build a pig pen with Sanhe soil.

The limestone required for cement must be at high temperature, which is not available in the government.

However, Sanhe soil is hard enough and can be used to build pig pens without any problem.

The five little piglets were temporarily placed in the yard and were watched by the servants as they ran around.

Zhuo Wenjun also specially found a pig butcher, who was standing there tremblingly, not daring to say anything.

Princess Pingyang looked amused: "Look at this, are you really going to raise pigs in Anding?"

Only then did Tang Qi realize that the guest had arrived, and he smiled and cupped his hands: "Princess, just call me Tang Qi. If you want to eat pork, of course you have to start by raising pigs."

There was no way, conditions in the Han Dynasty were not good.

Originally, Zhuo Wenjun found a pig butcher, and Tang Qi was quite happy and planned to listen to what the experts had to say.

As a result, the pig butcher actually said that it was impossible for pork to be stinky, and the piglets would not grow very big. The maximum weight was only about a hundred kilograms, so it was not cost-effective to raise them.

Tang Qi was unwilling when he heard it.

How is this an expert? He is worse than the housewives of later generations!

Hence the scene that Princess Pingyang saw. The dignified prince was gesticulating very enthusiastically, while the pig butcher cowered beside him and did not dare to speak.

Mr. Wei was only a little over ten years old at this time. Although he was already the Marquis of Yichun, under his strict tutoring, he was even more domineering than Huo Qubing's fingers.

At this time, Xiaowei and his wife opened their eyes wide with curiosity. Although their foreheads were full of question marks, they still bowed to Tang Qi in a decent manner.

Then he asked crisply: "I dare to ask Da Nong Ling. I heard that pork is smelly and unpalatable. Why does Da Nong Ling eat it?"

Polite children are welcome wherever they are.

Tang Qi smiled and rubbed Mr. Wei's head: "Pork is actually very delicious. The reason why it is not delicious is because the breeding method is wrong. When uncle raises the piglets, can you please eat braised pork?"

"

Mr. and Mrs. Xiaowei's eyes lit up, and they nodded: "Okay!"

After all, they come from a wealthy family. Mr. and Mrs. Wei have only heard rumors that pork is not delicious, but have never tasted it.

At this time, when Tang Qi said that the pork he raised was delicious, he naturally became curious.

Princess Pingyang has never eaten pigs before, but she is not as disgusted as others. Instead, she is very interested: "I wonder what the 'correct breeding method' mentioned by An Dinghou is?"

Tang Qi touched his nose: "The princess will know when the time comes."

You can't say anything about dicing in front of a big girl.

"With my method of raising pigs, not only will the pork not be too fishy, ​​but the pigs can grow up to 200 pounds without any problem. Moreover, raising pigs does not cost much, and even ordinary people can afford to raise them."

"Is it really so magical?" Princess Pingyang was immediately diverted, "In this case, wouldn't everyone be able to eat meat?"

She is indeed the emperor's sister, but her perspective on issues is different.

Tang Qi nodded: "I dare not say everyone, but most people should be fine. And the whole body of the pig is a treasure. Not only the meat and internal organs are edible, but the fat meat can be used to fry lard, which is economical and economical."

In later generations, lard was on par with rapeseed oil and peanut oil!

"I know that fat meat can extract oil." Princess Pingyang said happily, "If lard is as economical and affordable as An Dinghou said, the price of oil in Dahan may be reduced a lot!"

Tang Qi was stunned: "Are oil prices high now?"

"Of course, with the imperial court fighting for years and merchants hoarding goods, it is very difficult for the people to get some food."

Only then did Tang Qi react.
Chapter completed!
