The carriage soon arrived at Lantian County.
As they had been here many times, most of the farmers in the village knew them.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you looking for Young Master again today?”
After getting out of the car, a farmer who was squatting on the threshold to eat greeted him.
This was the old man who had taught the Emperor a lesson for wasting refined salt when they first came.
He had come over several times and was now considered familiar.
"Old Zhuang, are you eating?"
Second Emperor Li was in a good mood and said with a smile.
After saying that, she walked up to him and sized up the rice bowl in his hand. She teased,
"Isn't your Li Village quite rich? Why wasn't there even a speck of oil in this bowl?”
Old Zhuang raised his head and looked at him from the corner of his eyes." Don't say that. Vegetarian food is popular in our Li Village now!”
"I'm sick of eating meat every meal!"
"In the words of our young master, you have to scrape the oil in your stomach occasionally to live long!”
When Second Emperor Li heard this, he immediately felt that his good mood was completely ruined!
Just now, he was still happy that the commoners would be able to eat sweet potatoes in the future and not have to starve anymore.
Who would have thought that the villagers of Li Village were even tired of eating meat!!
Even if he was the emperor, he wouldn't dare to say such a thing!
For a moment, she had no good impression of Li Yun!
Big dog!
At this moment, it was as if to confirm Old Zhuang's statement.
A big yellow dog wagged its tail and ran out of his house. It was holding a big bone in its mouth, and there was a big piece of meat on it.
Not to mention Li Er, even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were furious when they saw this scene!
They were of noble status and naturally did not lack money, but they were not so extravagant as to give high-quality meat to dogs!
When Li Er saw this scene, his face darkened a little. He said a little angrily,
"Even if you're rich, you shouldn't be so wasteful. The commoners can't even eat soup and cakes, but you feed meat to the livestock?”
In the early years of Zhenguan, in order to curb the local extravagance, he had specially issued an edict forbidding officials from eating meat.
Even the local officials didn't allow him to eat meat, and this old farmer was feeding it to the dogs?
This was outrageous!
Hearing his unfriendly tone, Old Zhuang was not in a hurry. He still said slowly,
"You can't blame us for this. If we bring this meat to Chang 'an City Square, no one will want it even if it's cheaper than soup cakes!”
"We can't just leave it there and wait for it to break, right?”
"It's better to feed livestock than to waste it!"
Hearing his words, Fang Xuanling was stunned. He asked,
"Why?"
Meat was cheaper than soup cakes, and no one wanted it?
He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears!
"Because this is cheap meat." Old Zhuang said.
Pork!
Hearing this, Li Er's expression softened again.
This made sense. Pork was fishy and smelly, and it was not easy to raise it. If the commoners were not too poor, they would rarely eat it.
"So that's how it is. We really shouldn't eat too much of that stinky meat.”Li Er said.
"You're ignorant again." Old Zhuang looked at him from the corner of his eye again and said,
"The pork in our Li Village doesn't stink at all. Instead, it's very delicious!”
"Oh? Is there any pork that doesn't stink? Old Zhuang, don't lie to me!" Li Er shook his head and smiled.
"Hey, my old man really has to show you guys today. Come into the house with me!”
Old Zhuang was unhappy when he heard this. He pulled Li Er's sleeve and was about to walk into the house.
His action was so sudden that Fang and Du, who were standing beside Li Er, were shocked. They quickly surrounded him and protected him in the middle.
"Let's go, I want to see how long you can be stubborn.”
Li Er waved his hand indifferently and strode into the courtyard.
"Old woman, heat up a bowl of cooked pork and bring it over!”
After entering the courtyard, Old Zhuang shouted.
After a while, a bowl of steaming pork was placed in front of them.
Old Zhuang handed over a pair of chopsticks and said," Try me and see if I'm bragging!”
Li Er took the chopsticks and was about to move when Fang Xuanling stopped him!
He immediately grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth to chew.
How could the emperor test the food with his body?
After swallowing it, Fang Xuanling's eyes widened!
Seeing this, Li Er was impatient. He picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece in his mouth.
Du Ruhui followed closely behind.
Then, the two of them revealed the same expression as Fang Xuanling!
Li Er was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue!
This pork seemed to be different from the ones he had eaten before!
Just one word, fragrant!
Although there weren't any complicated seasonings, there was enough salt and the small red chili that was unique to the Li family.
Delicious!
There wasn't even the slightest stench!
Old Zhuang looked at the three people's dumbfounded expressions and said proudly,
"How is it? I'm not lying, am I?"
"Old man, I don't understand. Why is this?”Du Ruhui asked dryly,
"Could it be that your pork is a different breed? Can you show me the feeding pen?"
，!!
The update starts at night.
