Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 137 Convincing Li Shimin, the magical uses of pork!
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Why don't you admit it? Look at what this is. You may not have eaten pork, but you should have seen a pig run. You should know what this part is."

"Besides pigs, is there another animal with hooves like this?"

The old man's words stunned Li Shimin and others who had just become excited.

Pig's trotter!
This is pig's trotter!

This piece of evidence can be said to have pinned them down on the spot!

For a moment, everyone was silent.

His eyes were fixed on the pig's trotter!
Gudong….
Li Shimin swallowed hard.

How could he not recognize pig's trotters?
The other three people, including Changsun Wuji, were also completely silent.

This is pork, there is no doubt about it.

The air is somewhat heavy.

They all seemed to have their mute points sealed.

The old man smiled, looked at their expressions, sighed softly, and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. You don't even know the deliciousness of pork."

"Why is pork called cheap meat? It's because it tastes bad, not because it is cheap meat. Don't get confused."

"I might as well tell you that this... pork is the most precious treasure in the world! It is also Xiao Qin's new thing. This... is a good thing!!"

The old man suddenly felt a little sad.

He looked at the group of rulers of the Tang Dynasty in front of him and felt that the people were so pitiful. They had such good things in front of them, but could not grasp them.

Li Shimin frowned slightly and looked at the old man without saying anything.

Changsun Wuji and the others also sat quietly, feeling a little uneasy.

They could sense the old man's emotions.

The old man...seemed to be a little disappointed with himself and others.

"Your Majesty, and everyone else, I have traveled extensively over the years and have a much deeper understanding of the people than you do. Please open your eyes and take a look at how the people have been living over the past few years."

"Now the people of the Tang Dynasty are not starving to death, but...sigh, they can only barely get enough to eat. Most of them are pale, thin, listless, and sick. Why is this?"

"I know the answer is very simple, there is no meat to eat."

The old man's voice was choked.

"I have seen too many people who should have lived a good life, but... died from a very small disease because of lack of nutrition."

"Without adequate nutrition, one's immunity will be very weak. By the way, Xiao Qin told me the word immunity. You can think of it as Yang Qi. If Yang Qi is weak, diseases will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, and people will get sick, and then worsen and die."

"They didn't die of disease. Most of them died of starvation."

The old man took a deep breath and controlled himself to prevent his tears from falling.

He loves the people.

Otherwise, he would not have studied various medical skills in depth and in a simple way over the years, and helped the people like the four wise Taoist priests Sun.

but…….
Because he loves the people and is deeply connected with them, he also understands how weak his own power is compared to the rest of the world.

"Fortunately, I met Xiao Qin. He has great ambitions. He wants to heal the world and make all the people better!"

"Your Majesty, you don't understand Xiao Qin. This meat is not cheap meat, but a good recipe he gave me for the Great Tang Empire!"

The old man spoke in a low voice.

There were tears in his eyes.

When he thought of the people, he couldn't help but get excited.

Such a good pot of meat, but this group of people said it was cheap meat!
How unfair!
Li Shimin looked at the old man quietly.

…….….…

Empress Changsun sat up straight. She looked at the little Sizi who was eating pork in big mouthfuls and gently rubbed her little head.

Little Sizi looked up at his mother in confusion. Empress Changsun smiled, and little Sizi also smiled, and then started fighting with the pork again.

Zhangsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng all had flickering eyes, ashamed faces and expressions of sadness.

This is...
They were speechless.

What the old man said was very impressive.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy and gloomy.

Li Shimin looked at the old butler, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but no words came out, as if his throat was blocked.

The old man's words made his heart tremble.

In an instant, it was as if something had suddenly dawned on Li Shimin, and he felt as if goosebumps were about to fall off his entire body.

Yes!

That’s the truth!

Pork is called cheap meat because it tastes bad.

But, now, pork is so delicious, how can it still be called cheap meat?
This is meat!
This is the same meat as lamb!
Moreover, the taste is far better than mutton. When you eat it in your mouth, it feels much better than mutton.

Most importantly, mutton has a fishy smell.

Perhaps because he had eaten too much mutton, Li Shimin now always felt that pork was the most delicious, leaving an incomparable and long-lasting fragrance in his mouth. He couldn't help but want to gnaw on the pig's trotter in front of him.

Gulp...
Li Shimin swallowed again.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth. This time, he made a sound, but it was a little hoarse.

"Old sir, you are right, but... I don't understand. Everyone knows that pork is fishy and smelly, but... but..."

Li Shimin tapped the pig's trotter with his trembling fingers.

"But why is the pork at Wangyun Inn so delicious? Why is that? Why is that?"

Li Shimin didn't understand, so he asked hurriedly.

"Yes, old sir, the taste of this meat... is very different from other pork." Changsun Wuji agreed.

"Huh... Old sir, you are right, this meat is delicious and can no longer be called cheap meat. If this meat can be popularized, it will be of great help to the people. But, how can this meat become so delicious?" Du Ruhui was also a little anxious.

He was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Just now, what the old man said directly resolved the confusion in his heart.

That's right!

You are absolutely right!

They shouldn't be so prejudiced against pork!

Such good meat, as the old man said, if the people could eat it every day, then... the Tang Dynasty would rise rapidly.

Not only will the people of the Tang Dynasty live longer, the children of the Tang Dynasty will be stronger, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will also be more energetic.

What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty's army will be increased several times!
You know, even meat is very scarce in the Tang Dynasty army now.

Although there is food, the role of meat cannot be replaced by food.

Everyone understands this truth.

It’s just that there was too little meat before, but now that pork has appeared, maybe...it can make up for this problem.

If the problem of people not having enough meat to eat can be greatly alleviated, then within a few years, the living conditions of the people in the Tang Dynasty will be several times better than they are now!

Du Ruhui rubbed his hands and looked expectantly.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and the others all stared at the old man.

The old man smiled.

"Mr. Du, I really can't tell you about this question, but Xiao Qin said that processing pork is not difficult. As long as the technology is promoted, ordinary people can easily learn it."

"Xiao Qin also said that piglets are born in large litters and are easy to raise. They are much simpler to raise than sheep, but the nutrition is just as good. Pork is the most affordable and popular meat for the people of the world."

"Eat now. When you are full, I will take you to a place where the people will answer all your questions about feeding piglets."

"The meat we have at Wangyun Inn is shipped from there every day."

The old man smiled and said, He has calmed down.

The attitude of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others made the old man feel much better.

They have already realized the problem.

In that case, the next thing will be left to them.

Is there a special place?
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Young Master Qin is so amazing. How many things has he done?

There are actually places specifically for feeding pigs.

Li Shimin was truly shocked.

However, by the time he reacted, the pig's trotter in front of him had already been eaten up by Cheng Yaojin next to him.

Mouth full of oil.

There, he sucked his fingers with a look of enjoyment.

His face was full of intoxication.

Suddenly, Li Shimin's face turned dark.

It turns out that I had been smelling it here for a long time, but in the end, it all went to this old man.

However, Li Shimin did not dare to be angry anymore.

Because anger wastes time.

If you waste time...
The meat in the pot was snatched away by Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng.

They have awakened from the so-called cheap flesh.

The old man is right.

It was called cheap meat before because it didn’t taste good. Now it tastes so good, anyone who doesn’t eat it is a fool!

It's just a matter of name. Compared to the taste, it has absolutely no effect at all.

After figuring this out, my stomach was completely opened.

in fact.

The person closest to Li Shimin was Xiao Sizi. Just now, Xiao Sizi scooped a lot of pork into his own bowl while everyone else was not eating.

Fragrant and fragrant.

Li Shimin was so greedy that his mouth was watering.

But how could Li Shimin possibly snatch the pork from his precious daughter? Not to mention that she was hungry now, he would never snatch it even in the future!
even.

Li Shimin continued to pick up the pork at this time, but did not eat it at first, and kept putting it into Xiao Sizi's bowl.

"Wow, father, that's enough! There's enough spicy food in Sizi's bowl, you should eat some meat too!"

Xiao Sizi's hands were covered in grease, so he had to persuade Li Shimin verbally.

Li Shimin laughed and said with a gentle look: "Little Sizi, your father is not hungry. Eat more. Only by eating more can you grow taller."

"Father, help you pick some up, otherwise your uncles will grab them all. I get angry just talking about them. They are all like starving ghosts reincarnated. It's shameful!"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji and others rolled their eyes.

His Majesty.

How can such words come out of your mouth!

Not hungry? Who ate the most just now? It was you! This pampering spoiled the little Sizi so much that he lied with his eyes open... They were convinced!
No one exposed Li Shimin. After all, he was the emperor.

They continue to fight against eating pork.

Several people ate like crazy.

The old man watched from the side, smiled gently and shook his head.

This eating posture...
If they told others that they were emperors or dukes, probably no one would believe them.

However, the old man's face was full of relief.

He knew that there was finally a chance to promote pork.

The prescription that His Highness prescribed for the world has finally been solved.

“Wow….delicious, so delicious!”

"This meat, this vegetable, this soup, my goodness, if everyone in the world could eat this kind of food every day, they would be stupid and would rebel. I guess anyone who wants to rebel will be beaten to death by their neighbors. Who wouldn't like this kind of life!"

Li Shimin clenched his fist and said excitedly.

His belly had become fatter, visibly.

"Old sir, let's go. His Majesty and we are full." Du Ruhui stood up as he spoke.

"Yes, yes, old sir, let's go, let's go now without further delay." Changsun Wuji urged.

Empress Changsun helped Xiao Sizi wipe her mouth. This little girl, spoiled by her father, ate so much that her belly became as big as a little frog.

He burped, lay on the stool, and didn't move a muscle. He felt so comfortable that he wanted to hibernate right there.

"Everyone has finished eating. Well, let's go. This place is not far away, just outside Chang'an. Your Majesty, Queen, please."

The old man stood up and led the way.

Li Shimin and his men hurried to catch up.

His face looked a little excited.

Unexpectedly, I unlocked an industry of "Qin Wenyuan" outside!
hey-hey…….
This time, perhaps we really have to find "Qin Wenyuan" again, a good thing that can bring endless benefits to the world.

They were all a little impatient.

Later, although Xiao Sizi wanted to rest, when he heard about his second brother and going to the place under his second brother's control, he immediately forced himself to stand up and walked forward with his hands covering his stomach.

After this walk, I was exhausted.

He had eaten too much and was burdened with weight, so when he walked, he no longer had the same ease as when he was eating. He followed Empress Changsun in some pain.

However, the little mouth was smacking, as if it was still savoring the taste just now.

When Princess Changle saw her like this, she could only smile secretly.

My silly little sister, is she really super greedy?
However, as we walked, the gate of the Prince Chu's Palace appeared in front of us.

"Ouch, hiss... huh..."

Suddenly, Li Shimin covered his stomach with his hands and groaned.

"No, no, I ate too much at noon and my stomach hurts. Where is the toilet? Old sir, where is the toilet?"

[The Gongfang is now the toilet]

Li Shimin shouted.

For a moment, his facial features became somewhat hideous.

It seems like I can't bear it anymore.

The old man glanced at him.

Seeing Li Shimin's belly, which was bigger than before, he couldn't help but smile and pointed in one direction, saying, "Your Majesty, there is one in front."

It would be strange if you don’t have a stomachache after eating so much.

Next to him, Li Junxian had already quickly handed the silk to Li Shimin.

This silk was specially cut into pieces to meet Li Shimin's emergency needs.

When Li Shimin heard this, he snatched the silk and rushed over in a hurry.

"It's okay, Your Majesty. You ate too much and it disrupted the balance in your body. You'll be fine after you go to the bathroom."

The old man looked at Empress Changsun, who seemed a little anxious, and spoke to her to comfort her.

When Empress Changsun heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched. She was trying to hold back her laughter.
