After eating.
Wang Ben wiped his mouth and complained,"Shopkeeper, your noodles are delicious, but there's too little meat and not enough noodles.”
"It doesn't taste good."
"Oh, right."
"If I remember correctly, it is illegal for Great Qin to kill cattle.”
"In our country, if you want to eat beef, you can only wait for the cow to die of old age or die of illness. Moreover, it's very difficult to buy it. However, a shop like yours basically uses beef every day.”
Wang Ben's words silenced everyone.
Wang Ben didn't show any reaction.
Although he was enjoying his meal, he did not forget that the purpose of his group entering this noodle shop was to ask about the situation of this cow.
Private killing?
Or fake beef!
Ying Zheng also shifted his gaze over.
The shopkeeper didn't notice anything wrong and only thought that they were suspecting that the beef was fake. He said nonchalantly,"Are you worried that the beef is from an unknown source or that it's fake?”
"This is impossible."
"The beef must be real beef."
"And you should have eaten beef before, so you should be able to tell if it's real or fake.”
"As for where the beef came from?”
"Of course, we bought it from the market. Our Lishan Mountain is different from other places. We are allowed to sell beef here.”
"However…"
"This cow is not a ploughing cow."
"It's beef!"
"Beef cattle?" Ying Zheng frowned.
This was the first time he had heard of such a name. According to Great Qin's laws, any cow that was healthy would eventually become a ploughing cow.
What was the situation with beef cattle?
The shop owner seemed to have noticed their confusion.
He explained,
"Beef cattle, as the name suggests, are specially raised to eat meat.”
"You should be able to feel that the texture of the beef in our restaurant is definitely stronger and chewy than the beef you eat outside.”
"Like the beef you eat outside.”
"They are basically cows that died of old age or illness. The meat is not very good. It's either too old or doesn't taste fresh. In any case, the texture is definitely worse than ours.”
"Our cows are sent to slaughter when they are fat.”
"Absolutely fresh meat!"
Ying Zheng's frown deepened.
The smile on Wang Ben's face gradually faded.
Slaughtering strong cows?
Killing cows in Great Qin was a serious crime.
Killing an adult cow was an additional crime.
One had to know.
In Great Qin, even killing a calf or an old cow would result in severe punishment, much less killing an adult cow.
even
Those cowherds who dared to raise their cows thin would be severely punished.
He even dared to kill a strong bull?
Was he really looking down on Qin Fa?
" Cows are a very important material resource for Great Qin," Ying Zheng said with a dark face." It's spring plowing season now, so there are not enough cows. How do you plow the fields?" If the fields were not plowed enough, how could the food production be guaranteed?”
"When the autumn harvest comes and the imperial court collects taxes, how will you pay?”
"In the long run, won't it be chaotic?”
"Could it be that the Tenth Prince only cared about his own pleasure when he came to Mount Li? And the local officials here have been sitting idly by? Let him do whatever he wants? Have the people here ever thought of going to Xianyang to report to the government?”
Ying Zheng was trying his best to suppress his anger.
He was already beyond furious.
He had thought that it was already too much to kill a cow, but he had never expected that Ying Che would even kill an adult cow just to satisfy his hunger.
It was simply lawless!
Did he still care about the people?
Was there any law of Qin?
Seeing the furious look on Ying Zheng's face, the innkeeper was a little surprised.
The locals were not angry.
Why is a foreigner like you angry here?
They did kill cows.
But it didn't delay the production of crops.
Not only did they not delay, but they had also reaped great harvests every year. However, when he thought of the fact that Ying Zheng and his people came from other places, he instantly understood.
The shop owner smiled and said,
"You misunderstood."
"Killing cows won't affect our harvest."
"Moreover, the cattle here are raised on a large scale. The number of cattle is not enough to satisfy Mount Li. Even if we bring along the surrounding counties, the number of cattle we raise will only increase.”
"Our farming methods are also different from the outside world.”
"We use music."
"Ahem." Just as the shop owner was speaking proudly, a few coughs came from the side. A middle-aged man knocked on the table and said with a dissatisfied expression,
"Shopkeeper, what nonsense are you talking about?”
"If you dare to talk nonsense to outsiders in the future, don't blame me for reporting you to the authorities.”
"When the time comes."
"Forget about continuing to open a shop, it's a problem whether you can even stay in Lishan.”
"I advise you to take care of yourself!"
"The bill!"
The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically, and he repeatedly said that he did not dare to.
Then, he went to take Qin Banliang from the table and went straight to the inner room. He asked the waiter to go outside to greet him while he stayed in the room and did not dare to make any more noise.
Before the middle-aged man left, he walked back.
He warned Ying Zheng and the others.
"Outsiders like you should behave yourselves when you come to Mount Li. Don't ask around blindly all day long. There are some things that you can't know. After eating and drinking well here, get lost as soon as possible.”
"Mount Li doesn't welcome you!"
"And…"
"Don't let me see you guys asking questions on Mount Li again. Although I don't dare to beat you up, I'm still willing to sue you.”
"When the time comes."
"I will let you see what Qin Fa is.”
"What is Qin Fa Zhao Zhao again!"
