"This is pork!"
Chen Zhou finally gave them an answer.
But as soon as the word "pork" came out, they were stunned and then exclaimed.
"It can't be pork. I've eaten pork before, but it doesn't taste like this, and it doesn't taste this good."
Cao Hong immediately shook his head and said: "Just confess, Du Zhi! What kind of meat is this? Don't think that I have never eaten pork."
Others echoed Cao Hong's words and nodded together.
They looked at Chen Zhou again.
"I don't need to lie to you. It's really pork. You should have heard that I raised some pigs specifically, right? It's the meat of those pigs. In fact, pork is not necessarily unpalatable, it's just that the way it is raised and cooked is different. It’s different too.”
As soon as Chen Zhou's explanation came out, everyone was shocked.
Of course they know about raising pigs.
Seeing Cao Cao's unsurprised expression, I basically concluded that it was pork.
So, pork is really edible.
Can you still eat so deliciously?
Completely subverting their inherent impression of pork.
Chen Zhou said: "The pigs I raise can all be eaten normally. You must have heard that the pigs I raise have grown a lot in just a few months. If I raise sheep for a few months, they can Grow up?"
They listened and shook their heads.
"Watazhi means that we can raise pigs?"
Guo Jia followed Chen Zhou's words and guessed what Chen Zhou was thinking.
Chen Zhou nodded and said: "It is true that pigs can be raised. The pigs I raise now eat whatever they want and don't choose anything. However, they gain weight quickly and grow very fast. The pork does not have that nasty smell. Do you know? Have you experienced it?"
They nodded slightly.
Indeed, as Chen Zhou said, the pork is very clean and tastes great. There is no problem if you eat it normally.
"My idea of raising pigs is to bring down the price of meat so that ordinary people can afford meat. Although they may not necessarily eat it regularly, they can afford meat on some important days or special seasons."
"If the people under your lord's rule can afford to eat meat, that is what the people want."
"If the soldiers in our army had meat to eat, how strong would their combat effectiveness be? You can all imagine it!"
Chen Zhou expressed this idea simply.
Even the soldiers under Yuan Shao could not have meat to eat.
Meat was a rare thing in ancient times. Except for aristocratic and wealthy families, ordinary people would not be able to taste meat in a year.
If people can eat meat, it is indeed what the people want.
Soldiers can eat meat and they can fight tooth and nail for you.
After hearing this, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.
For the first time, he really paid attention to the pork issue. If it develops in the direction Chen Zhou said, it is indeed the case. There is a huge difference between areas where people can eat meat and areas where people cannot!
This is not just a matter of public opinion.
If the people of Xudu can all eat the meat provided by Cao Cao, when Xudu is in danger, they can desperately help Cao Cao fight back against the enemy.
"Can what Watanabe said really come true?"
Xun Yu didn't like various hypotheses, but wanted to know what the real effect would be.
Chen Zhou said: "I am 70% sure that whether this hypothesis can be realized, the key lies in raising pigs, expanding pig raising, and spreading the technology of pig raising. Not only our government raises it, but private citizens can also raise it. Pigs are easy to raise." Even if they are given grass to eat, they will still grow. As for whether this 70% certainty can become a reality, we need to give it a try. I can only raise a small part of the pigs."
Xun Yu and the others quickly fell into deep thought.
Seventy percent certainty is actually very high.
They were thinking that they might give it a try to verify Chen Zhou's idea.
"Lord."
Liu Ye said: "We are 70% sure of crossing. It's worth giving us a try. There are refugees everywhere now. It's not difficult to recruit people to raise pigs."
"Then give it a try."
Cao Cao was moved by what he said and agreed: "I will arrange for people to go to the... breeding farm in Duzhi later and learn all the experience of raising pigs. Then I will arrange for people to hunt wild boars and breed them in large numbers!"
If it is simple, tell them that raising pigs is feasible.
They may not believe it yet.
But let them take a bite of the particularly fragrant pork, and they will feel that pork is the future and hope.
That's exactly what happened now.
boom!
However, Xiahou Dun suddenly slapped the table fiercely.
"Yuan Rang, what's wrong with you?"
Cao Cao frowned slightly dissatisfied when he saw this guy disturbing everyone's interest in eating meat.
Xiahou Dun said angrily: "Brother, you know that my husband originally asked that bastard of mine to raise pigs. I should have had a share of the credit for the pork. No! I will go home and beat my son without accompanying him! However, Du Then pack up two kilograms of pork for me and deliver it to my house, and I will give you the money so that I can eat it when I finish the beating and get hungry."
After saying that, he was so angry that he really left directly.
If it weren't for those two bastards Xia Houchong and Xia Houmao, this huge credit belongs to their family.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Xiahou Dun became.
I have to go back and continue beating my son.
When Xia Houyuan saw it, he also slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "Brother, I also want to go back and teach those two bastards a lesson. After that, I also want two kilograms of pork. Remember to leave the legs for me. I prefer to eat there. "
He also stormed off.
"Where did I get four pounds of pork for you?"
Chen Zhou couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
If you want to divide a few pounds and go out, you can indeed.
But if you give it to them, you will give it to others. Those two pigs are not very big, so how can they get enough?
It would be better to just stay at Cao's house, and he would take some of it back to give the ladies a taste.
"Du Zhi, leave them alone."
Cao Ren said with a smile on his face: "They are two big bosses and have no foresight at all. They are so angry just because of this matter. Is that the case?"
Cao Hong echoed: "That's right, what about it?"
Their son, by Chen Zhou's side, has earned enough credit, and I don't know how happy he is.
It's also very hateful.
Especially the hatred towards Xiahou Dun.
"alright!"
Cao Cao interrupted and said: "The matter of raising pigs is settled like this. Let's find someone to give it a try first. By the way, I have something very curious. Was there a lot of salt in the pork today? Especially? Tasty."
They didn't care about Xiahou Dun's affairs for the time being.
How to beat their son is also their family matter.
But the taste of pork, in addition to refreshing them, also brought them a different feeling.
Today's meat was cooked completely differently from what they knew, and even tasted very different. After being reminded by Cao Cao, other civil servants and generals had similar feelings.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
They, scholars from aristocratic families and people who could afford to eat meat, all wanted to know if Chen Zhou had any special tricks.
"That's the difference in cooking methods. I'll just leave my cooks in Sikong Mansion and let them teach the master's cooks."
Chen Zhou explained first.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "This is good."
After eating the meat brought by Chen Zhou, if he couldn't taste the same taste again in the future, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat anymore.
Chen Zhou added: "In addition, there is the difference between salt."
