Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

After finishing Zhang Song's affairs, Li Xin took Chen Youlan back to the kitchen of the soy sauce factory. Along the way, he could always feel that Chen Youlan was staring at his face with subtle eyes. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't stand it, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"

Chen Youlan stopped in her tracks, hid her hands behind her back, shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's nothing."

Li Xin could only curl his lips helplessly.

Back in the kitchen, Li Xin saw two big pots of meat on the stove. It was the slaughtered and cut pork sent by Zhang Song, one pot of meat and one pot of offal. He stepped forward to check it, and sure enough, it was carefully handled by Zhang Song, whether it was the meat or the internal organs, they were all cleaned up, and they were at a level that could be put directly into the pot.

It seems that last time when Li Xin was making pig-killing dishes, Zhang Song really studied carefully by the side, and even imitated some details in a decent way, otherwise it would definitely not be so clean.

Li Xin nodded in satisfaction, secretly thinking that the money was well spent just now. In fact, the reason why he refused to accept Zhang Song's pig for free, besides what he said in front of Zhang Song, was another very important reason: he hoped that Zhang Song could become a role model, a person who improved his life by raising pigs. He is a role model, so he can't let Zhang Song lose a pig for nothing, but must let Zhang Song make money.

After Li Xin showed how to castrate pork and what should be done with it, the villagers have indeed begun to realize that raising pigs is a profitable thing, but it is undeniable that they are still quite conservative about it.

If at this time, Li Xin can create an example of making money by raising pigs, and let the villagers see with their own eyes that pork can really sell for a price, they will of course be more convinced by Li Xin's words and start raising a large number of pigs.

Li Xin is not worried at all that his restaurant will not be able to eat so much pork in the future. On the one hand, it is because he knows how much pork a restaurant consumes every day. At least in the early stage, he can eat as much pork as Lantian County produces. On the other hand, it is because he never thought of monopolizing pork. secret.

He believes that once his restaurants show the world that pork can be delicious, restaurants all over Chang'an will soon add pork to their menus. This is also his plan from the beginning: to promote pork and make it a common food that people can accept.

By then, the pork supply in Lantian County may not be able to keep up.

But it doesn’t matter, according to economic theory, when the supply exceeds demand, the price of pork will naturally rise, and more people will see the business opportunities and step into the ranks of pig raising to increase the supply capacity of pork until the supply and demand are balanced again. will fall back. In the process, the lives of countless people will be improved, and countless job opportunities will be created.

Pork will also become an important source of protein and calories on the Chinese table, and an indispensable livestock in countless small farmers. How many people can benefit from pork, the answer to this question may only be answered by God.

All of this is due to Li Xin.

Of course, these are things for later.

To accomplish this important task, the first thing Li Xin must do is to operate his restaurant into a truly upright No. 1 restaurant in Chang'an, so that everyone can see the business opportunities behind the pork. And soy sauce, in this process, is a key step that is absolutely necessary to catalyze the delicacy of pork.

What Li Xin wants to do now is to use soy sauce to conquer the taste buds of the beautiful girl next to him. To some extent, it can be regarded as a kind of pre-experiment.

Although he knew how important soy sauce was on the Chinese dining table of later generations, what he was in at the moment was another Great Tang in another time and space after all. How do the people of Datang in this time and space react to soy sauce? From a rigorous point of view, it is better to put a question mark first, in case they don't like it?

Take a large piece of fat meat and cook lard in a pot. White smoke rises from the pot, and the whole room is filled with the aroma of oil. Put the boiled golden yellow oil residue in a bowl, and it will jingle crisply, which will make people appetite at a glance. Even though he knew it was unhealthy, Li Xin still picked one up with his hand and put it in his mouth, chewing until his lips and teeth were fragrant.

Chen Youlan was both curious and afraid of this thing. After all, she is a girl, so she is somewhat wary of foods made from fatty meat.

Seeing this, Li Xin picked up one with a smile, brought it to her mouth, and encouraged her to try it. Chen Youlan hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and ate the oil residue into her mouth. It wasn't until she started chewing that she realized how frivolous she was when she ate directly from Li Xin's hand just now, and a large red cloud immediately flew up on her face.

However, Li Xin had already turned around and went back to continue cooking. He didn't seem to care too much, and Chen Youlan didn't know what to say, so he was silently shy for a while. However, this oil residue is really fragrant, fragrant and crispy.

Chen Youlan suddenly wanted to eat another one, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she had no choice but to roll her eyes, which were cute enough to be foul, and curled her lips.

It's a pity that Li Xin has already started to concentrate on making the full version of braised pork, so he didn't see this scene at all.
