Because the pork of the new pig was too fragrant!
Moreover, Li Hao's group had entered the city with more than ten wooden carts, which naturally attracted the attention of pedestrians on the streets of Chang 'an.
How could that be?
Before entering the city, the guards of Chang 'an City asked for a long time.
After a long inspection, they were finally allowed to pass.
After entering Chang 'an, the group was slowly surrounded by the crowd.
This scene was within Li Hao's expectations.
"Uncle An, I'll take them to the north of the city. You stay in the south." Li Hao looked at An Rong and smiled.”
"Yes."
An Rong nodded.
This was because An Rong had a lot of experience.
He had also entered Chang 'an Fortress.
An Rong even had a certain level of martial strength. At the same time, over the years, Li Hao taught the villagers some simple fighting techniques.
It could be said that everyone who followed Li Hao knew martial arts!
Otherwise, why would Li Hao be at ease letting An Rong lead the team?
Li Hao brought Crescent Moon and the other villagers to the north of the city.
Because Li Hao had inspected Chang 'an City yesterday.
In the southern part of the city.
In the north of the city.
Streets that ran through the entire Chang 'an Fortress.
It was the most prosperous area in Chang 'an City!
South of the city, Fragrance Tasting Tower.
The largest restaurant in Chang 'an City!
It was the most prosperous and famous restaurant in Chang 'an.
This was because this restaurant even had Retired Emperor Li Yuan's autograph.
" Chang 'an Paramount!"
This was the name Li Yuan had given to this restaurant.
Because the owner of this restaurant was the Cui Clan!
The northern part of Chang 'an Fortress was no worse than the southern part.
Although there were no restaurants in the north of the city, there was a Happy Red Court.
Chongren Lane!
The largest brothel in Chang 'an!
Actually, calling Chongren Square a brothel was an insult to it!
At least, in Chang 'an City, no one, from the high officials to the common people, would say that Chongren Square was a brothel.
This was because Chongren Square was more than a level higher than a brothel!
He only sold his skills, not his body!
Chongren Square was a Red Pleasure Courtyard that had existed since the Sui Dynasty.
Furthermore, this Happy Red Court had produced several famous talented women during the Sui Dynasty!
In this period of Tang, there were two peerless talented women!
Li Hao had heard about this yesterday.
Li Hao brought Crescent Moon and the other villagers to the north of the city.
He stopped right across from Chongren Square.
Soon, the people on the streets of Chang 'an City surrounded them.
He was attracted by the fragrant pork!
"Is this pork?"
"I've never seen such delicious pork before!”
"That's right! It was still raw meat, yet it had such a strong meat fragrance. What kind of pork was this?”
The surrounding commoners discussed.
Li Hao nodded at Li Dazhuang, a villager from Xiao An Village, and whispered a few words into his ear. Although Li Dazhuang was puzzled, he still looked at the surrounding people and said with a smile,"A new breed of wild boar and domestic pig. It's absolutely delicious. Three strings of money per catty.”
"What?!"
"So expensive!"
Li Hao had just said the price when someone among the surrounding commoners exclaimed.
What was the meaning of three strings of money in the Great Tang?
The Tang Empire had just been established, and even the prosperous Chang 'an City did not have much money.
The poor commoners had enough money to live on for a year.
At this time, pork in the Great Tang cost 500 copper coins per catty.
In the Great Tang, a carriage of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver was equivalent to ten strings of copper coins, and ten strings of copper coins was equivalent to ten thousand copper coins.
Li Hao's pork was worth three strings of copper coins.
It was six times more expensive than the pork sold in Chang 'an City!
Because three strings of copper coins were worth 3000 copper coins!
Li Hao wasn't surprised by the people's cries of surprise.
He had set this price before he set off today.
In the Great Tang, there was an unwritten rule about pork:
High officials and nobles do not eat pork.
In the Tang Dynasty, the best meat was beef, mutton, and fish.
During the early Tang Dynasty, due to limited financial resources, Li Shimin issued a rule:
Beef is forbidden.
In the Great Tang, mutton was a staple food.
And why didn't the royal family and dignitaries eat pork?
Because they thought pork was inferior meat!
It was meat for the commoners to eat!
Therefore, Li Hao was not prepared to sell the pork to the officials of the imperial court. He prepared the pork for the people of Chang 'an.
In the current Tang Dynasty, there were many people raising pigs.
But Li Hao wasn't worried at all!
Because he was the only one who sold pork!
Since that was the case, why not raise the price?
Moreover, Li Hao didn't just want money.
Li Dazhuang looked at the onlookers and said,"Other than two strings of silver, you can also use other items to replace it. For example, cloth curtains. Five feet of cloth curtains can be exchanged for one jin of pork.”
"What?!"
"Five feet of cloth can be exchanged for a pound of pork?”
Hearing Li Hao's words, how could the people present hesitate?
They were already drooling on the sidelines!
Because the pork in Li Hao's car was too fragrant!
The people who had cloth curtains at home all went home to get cloth curtains.
What is a cloth curtain?
It was actually a tent used by the Great Tang during this period!
Crescent Moon looked at Li Hao in confusion.
The villagers who followed Li Hao also looked at Li Hao in confusion.
They all knew what the cloth curtain was.
However, they didn't know what Li Hao needed the cloth for.
However, no one asked or questioned him!
Li Hao did not explain either.
What was the use of the cloth?
Growing vegetables in a greenhouse!
Planting hybrid rice in a greenhouse!
Li Hao wanted to use cloth to replace plastic.
Because this was the only way for Li Hao to ensure that the vegetables in his Hundred Taste Pavilion would mature smoothly!
There was no plastic in the Tang Empire during this period. Only cloth curtains could replace plastic.
While some commoners went home to retrieve the cloth curtains, the other commoners present gritted their teeth and began to buy Li Hao's pork.
One person paid.
Cut off a catty of meat.
The other commoners couldn't hold it in anymore!
This was because a new breed of pork was produced by the mating of wild boars and domestic pigs. This gimmick was enough to make the people present pay out their wallets!
Moreover, the fragrance of meat was overflowing!
They had never smelled such sweet meat before!
Moreover, Chang 'an was the imperial city after all.
Most of the people living in Chang 'an were rich.
Soon, the five carts of pork that Li Hao had brought were sold to only two carts left.
Following that, the commoners who had left earlier returned one after another.
They came with cloth curtains and happily exchanged for pork.
Li Hao did some calculations. These curtains were still not enough!
He had too many vegetables to grow!
Moreover, the Hundred Taste Pavilion had given him too many seedlings!
Li Hao whispered into Li Dazhuang's ear again.
Li Dazhuang looked at the people present and said again,"Everyone, there is only one and a half carts of pork left. Our little brother said that from now on, we only want cloth curtains, not silver. Tell each other that you can bring your cloth curtains to exchange for delicious pork!”
