From three large flower beds, a total of 17 or 18 kilograms of peppers were picked, and Liu Deng's heart was filled with joy.
He thought about this for so long that after the chili peppers, Liu Deng came to the kitchen with these chili peppers as soon as possible.
He drove all the helpers out with his big feet, leaving only the trembling fat cook standing trembling in front of Liu Deng.
"Bring me some fresh tenderloins and cut them all into shreds!"
Seeing the unkind look on his king's face, the fat cook almost knelt on the ground and told him about eating chicken legs secretly during this period.
Suddenly I heard this sentence from my own king. He was truly amnesty. He had been saying for a long time that he was not here to arrest me...
"promise!"
Since they weren't here to catch him stealing chicken legs, there was nothing to be afraid of. The fat cook quickly took the pork on the side. With the knife in his hand, his whole temperament immediately changed.
The originally wretched look has become more serious. Although this guy's cooking skills are not very good, but one thing is that his knife skills are really good.
This meat was cut by him so crystal clear that it looked like it could thread a fucking needle, but damn, is this the ingredient for chili-fried shredded pork?
Liu Deng raised his foot and kicked him on the butt, making the fat cook tremble all over.
"Can't you cut it a little thicker? Damn you, I'll get angry when I see you!"
He was so damn careless that he actually had to make the fried pork with chili that his majestic Prince Dai wanted to eat.
The fat cook trembled all over and burst into tears. He wanted to beg for mercy from his king, but looking at the guards behind his king, he still didn't dare to speak. He walked out of the kitchen with three turns. .
The remaining fat cooks were also driven away by him, and now they can only make enough food and clothing by themselves.
Fortunately, Liu Deng often did these things before, which made him feel good today, so he might as well reward himself by cooking.
Liu Deng began to cut the meat skillfully. After assessing his appetite, Liu Deng cut almost a kilogram of meat before giving up.
Then there are these peppers. These are hard to come by, and the seeds inside will still be planted next year. Liu Deng carefully pinched off the heads and tails, broke them open with a knife, and carefully picked out the seeds inside bit by bit. come out.
Finally, after cutting half a bowl of chili shreds, Liu Deng was already sweating profusely. If he had known this, he should have let the fat man do this job, but now that everyone has been kicked out by him, calling him back seems like It’s also a bit unreasonable.
Skillfully he picked up a piece of firewood from the ground and threw it into the stove. After the fire was heated up, he took a spoonful of soybean oil and threw it directly into the pot. After frying the shredded pork, he took it out again, heated the oil again, and added the chili pepper to the pot. Add the shredded pork again.
Liu Deng realized that being a cook in these days was really not a good career. He lived in smoke and fire all day long, especially after the chili was put into the pot. Even Liu Deng couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
When it was almost noon, Liu Deng finally finished his work and returned to his study proudly with his trophies.
Only a messy kitchen was left for the fat cook to slowly clean up. Freshly baked shredded pork stir-fried with chili meat and a large bowl of rice, Liu Deng was sweating profusely from eating.
Ever since he came to this hellish place, he hadn’t eaten so much for a long time. After finishing the meal, Zhao Wengu very thoughtfully brought him a large bowl of iced sour plum soup. After gulping down half the bowl, Liu Deng had it. Focus on official business.
"Damn, damn old thing, you really don't take me seriously!"
After just glancing at the contents of the official document, Liu Deng suddenly became furious. This old boy is really bullying others!
"Take these things away and find me the Master Taifu!"
Zhao Wengu originally wanted to leave the room when she saw her king's expression of enjoyment, but suddenly seeing his furious look, she was really at a loss.
"Remove these things and have someone find the Grand Tutor!"
Liu Deng frowned and said again. Only then did Zhao Wengu react and quickly started packing his things.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you came to see me in such a hurry?"
About half an hour later, Zhang Tu finally arrived at Liu Deng's study in a hurry.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Zhang Tu's face is now flushed. It seems that this old guy has been living a good life recently, and he seems to be getting younger as he gets older.
"Master Taifu, take a look at this first, and then we'll talk!"
Liu Deng said and handed over the official document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be guarded against. Since King Wu Liu Bi has begun to shrink the food supply and prohibit food from leaving the country, I am afraid that other princes and kings will respond quickly. We should still be careful. I think we should hurry up. It’s the right thing to have a batch of food in your hands again!”
After reading the official document, Zhang Tu was also worried. Originally, Wu and Chu were a land of plenty, and a large amount of food was sent to each country every year. However, the place where Daiguo has been warred for years has been vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren. There is really too little fertile land. .
A large amount of grain is purchased every year, but now, Wu King Liu Bi has suddenly hit Liu Deng's fate. If the seven countries stop sending grain to Dai, Liu Deng will be in real trouble.
Fortunately, with the 500,000 stones of grain sent from the eldest princess, plus the ones I exchanged for in Chang'an City this time, I should have no problem surviving this year and the next.
However, if there is another war in the middle, there is no guarantee...
"I am already in the process of purchasing grain. Chang'an should have begun to step up preparations. This king made some small bets in Chang'an City this time. I have won some money and asked His Highness to exchange it for grain and ordnance. I think we will start to get lucky after a while, but it is better to ask for others than to ask for ourselves. If we want to avoid being choked by others, the key is to look at ourselves!"
Liu Deng was really in trouble now. Among the new grains he had, the only one that could be regarded as a staple food was corn. But even if there was a bumper harvest this time, if he wanted to promote it on a large scale, he would at least It takes two seasons, and it will take another two years to completely solve the problem of food self-sufficiency.
But the question is, who can guarantee that the Huns will not invade and retaliate on a large scale in the past two years?
After all, time is still tight!
What to do? It looks like winter is coming soon. When the snow comes, everything will be chilled. The weather is not something that can be bought with money.
Wait, winter?
"Yes!"
Liu Deng's sudden slap on the forehead shocked Zhang Tu.
