Chapter 62 Tian Shenu

Chang'an City is very big, and Chang'an City is also very small.

The Qin Mansion bought dozens of porcine meat from the Western Market in one breath and returned, and the news spread immediately.

The nobles do not eat pig meat. In addition to the bad taste of uncastrated pig meat, the main reason is that everyone thinks pig meat is dirty and not clean.

This dirty thing is not only the dirty environment in which the pig lives, but also has something to do with the food.

Eat everything by slurry and excrement, no wonder people are disliked.

Therefore, for a long time, cattle, sheep, deer, chicken, duck, fish, dog and other meats were ranked before pork. It is conceivable that the second senior brother's status is humble.

You are not afraid of being used by others, you are afraid that you don’t even have the value of using it.

"Madam, it's rumored that the Qin family tasted good with pig meat. They bought dozens of pig meat in one go. I don't know why their taste is so strange. There are not many nobles in Chang'an City who eat pig meat."

In the Yang Mansion, after Qingxia learned the news, she immediately reported to Yang Yan.

"Impossible. There are only less than a hundred people in the Qin Mansion. Even if they like to eat pig meat, there is no need to buy dozens of pig meat in one go."

Yang Yan's mind was quite clear, and she felt that the rumor was unreliable.

"How is it impossible? Many people have seen the Qin family's butler in the West City who personally bought a large amount of pig meat. Even if there are some differences in quantity, there are definitely more than a dozen pigs."

Qingxia couldn't help but refute it there.

"Can they be rewarding the soldiers or who? Or are they going to set up a porridge shed outside the city? I heard that the number of refugees outside is gradually increasing. This winter will probably be a difficult winter."

"If you want to help refugees, just open a porridge shed. There is no need to buy pig meat, that's too luxurious."

Although the nobles do not eat pork meat, this is meat after all, and the price is definitely much higher than that of grain.

So Qingxia's analysis is obviously correct.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, it's impossible to buy such pork in one go. Maybe Qin Xiedao is going to make a name for himself."

Yang Yan found that she was becoming more and more curious about Qin Xiedao.

This guy has almost never stopped since he appeared in Chang'an City.

But his troubles are very different from other noble children.

Whether it is sugar, white clouds, or great achievements made by the Weishui River, they are not something that ordinary nobles can do.

He is really a mysterious man.

...

"Brother Changsun, Qin Xiedao is indeed a slave who grew up in the countryside. He actually likes to eat pork. It's really embarrassing General Qin."

In Yayi Pavilion, Gao Jin despised Qin Xiedao there with disdain.

The Qin family was not born as a noble family, and even the word "unpolished" is a bit far-fetched to use.

After all, the poor family these days are also families, but they are just declining families, and they are not the kind of poor people in later generations.

It’s not like the Changsun family or the Gao family, but they are all noble children.

"Qin Dalang grew up in a mountain village. He probably could afford to eat pork during festivals when he was a child. Although he has been released now, his nature has not changed, so he is still so vulgar."

Changsun Chong felt that a lot of his popularity had been snatched away by Qin Xiedao during this period, and he felt a little unhappy.

"What I said is right. The slaves of the farm will always be slaves, and dogs cannot change their shit."

Gao Jin and Changsun Chong and others are all considered as children of civil officials and are born to be rivals of military generals.

Qin Xiedao is even more a displeasure among the generals.

"I don't know what his Majesty values ​​him. There are more generals than him, right? Do you have to praise him so high? What move does it take to subdue the Turkic general? Who believes this?"

Changsun Chong thought of Qin Xiedao, who was circulating in Chang'an City a while ago, won Zhishisi Li in one move near the Wei River, and then subdued Qi Biheli with another move. This rumor was simply reducing everyone's IQ.

"Forget it, the Imperial College will soon organize this year's poetry meeting. Then we will let everyone see who is the future star and who is the pillar of the future in Chang'an City."

"At that time, people must send Qin Xiedao an invitation to the poetry meeting to see if he has the courage to come."

It is obvious that Changsun Chong and Gao Jin were preparing to humiliate Qin Xiedao at the poetry meeting.

Let him know who the nobles in Chang'an City is the real person.

...

"Your Majesty, something strange happened outside today."

In the imperial study, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial.

After a moment of entanglement, Li Junxian went in to report to Li Shimin.

Although this matter is not important at all, it doesn't matter. Li Junxian knows that Li Shimin will definitely be interested, that's enough.

The most important thing to serve the emperor is to grasp the key points of concern to the emperor, and the others are not that important.

This is why, throughout the dynasties, the emperor's close ministers, whether ministers or eunuchs, are often mostly treacherous ministers.

Because you don’t know what the real point is, you can’t stay by the emperor for a long time.

It is very rare for people like Li Shimin to put trolls like Wei Zheng around them.

"Oh, what else is there that even you, Li Junxian, finds it strange?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty is joking. This matter is really interesting and is closely related to Qin Xiedao."

"It has something to do with Xiedao again? What trouble did he do?"

Li Shimin found that during this period, he could hear what Qin Xiedao happened every now and then, and he was speechless.

This Qin Dalang is really too troublesome.

"The Qin family found someone to go to Xishi and bought dozens of pig meat in one go. I don't know what to do. Logically speaking, even if Qin Dalang has a special taste and likes to eat pig meat, there is no need to buy so much pig meat in one go, and I can't finish it."

Li Junxian can't find any other purpose except for eating pig meat.

"I heard that in some places on Jiangnan Road, people will marinate the pork meat so that it can be preserved for a long time. Will the Qin Mansion buy so much pork meat? Will it also be used for marinating meat?

Now it has just entered autumn and winter, and it is the dry season, so it should be more suitable for making cured meat.”

Li Shimin is worthy of being an emperor who is familiar with the people's sentiments, and he even knows the cured meat of the people.

"It's not a big deal. Even if they want to make cured meat, they don't need to buy dozens of pig meat at one go."

"It's impossible to buy it and throw it away. There must be some reason behind it. You can go and inquire again."

"I understand!"
