'Always giving people a gloomy feeling? ,

Inside the sleeping hall of Changchun Hall.

When Zhu Wanning heard this, she couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

At the same time, Xu Yi's situation at that time could not help but appear in his mind.

At that time, Xu Yifang walked out of Zongzheng Temple where he had been under house arrest for eight years.

And outside Zongzheng Temple.

Waiting for him are hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong disaster victims whose lives hang on a thread.

There is also the messy Jingzhao Mansion and countless resistances from aristocratic families.

Thinking about this.

Zhu Wanning couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Then he said with heartache: "Those who are in the abyss will lose the joy of ordinary people."

The words are over.

Wang Qiujin's palm caressing her lower abdomen paused slightly.

Then he nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Yes, those who are in the abyss will lose the joy of ordinary people."

"I especially remember when I first arrived at the inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion."

"The candlelight in the study room of the inner house always burns until late at night."

"A husband's figure often bends down unconsciously under candlelight."

"I guess the burden on the hundreds of thousands of victims must be too heavy."

"It's so heavy that even a man like my husband can't bear its weight sometimes."

Wang Qiujin paused for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with pride, "But fortunately, your husband is your husband."

"No matter how heavy the burden is on the hundreds of thousands of victims."

"No matter how the so-called nobles, nobles, and wealthy families secretly obstruct and stir up trouble."

"My husband also has no fear."

"So what if I'm in an abyss? My husband has a sword! It's called the Abyss! It cuts through the so-called endless abyss!"

"The Guanzhong disaster relief journey was often accompanied by bloody storms, but fortunately, the clouds cleared and the moon shone brightly in the end."

The words are over.

Zhu Wanning stared blankly at Wang Qiujin, who was full of pride.

A feeling of envy suddenly arose in my heart.

'It would be great if I was the one who always accompanied the prince at that time. ,

Zhu Wanning couldn't help but think to herself.

"later."

"My husband has been granted the title of King Yan, and he has been granted the title of vassal of the land of Yan."

"In the past six months or so in Yandi, although my husband has become more and more busy, the smiles from the inside out have gradually increased."

"But for some reason, my husband has that gloomy feeling again in recent days."

"I guess we must have encountered something difficult."

The pride on Wang Qiujin's face gradually dissipated, replaced by deep worry and heartache.

The words are over.

Zhu Wanning suddenly came back to her senses from her daze.

Seeing Wang Qiujin's face full of worry and distress.

"No need to worry, sister."

"When the prince has nothing, he can still defeat the enemies."

"Are you even talking about today?"

Zhu Wanning calmed down for a moment, then softly comforted her.

"What my sister says, my sister also knows."

"From the beginning to the end, my sister has never worried about how difficult the troubles her husband is facing."

"No matter how difficult the trouble is, my husband can resolve it with his strength."

"My sister is worried about whether my husband is hungry now."

"My sister doesn't know something."

"When my husband gets busy, he always forgets to eat."

"It doesn't matter once or twice, but if it happens too many times, how can your husband's stomach and intestines bear it?"….

Wang Qiujin sighed softly, then slowly spoke with worry and distress on his face.

'startled. ,

When Zhu Wanning heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned again.

He never expected that Wang Qiujin was worried about such things.

After counting the interest.

Zhu Wanning gradually became dumbfounded

He came to his senses in a daze.

At the same time, there was a faint feeling of enlightenment in my heart.

'Perhaps this is why the prince has always loved his sister so much. ,

Zhu Wanning looked at Wang Qiujin, whose face was full of worry and distress, and thought to herself.

Don't wait for Zhu Wanning to fully understand.

Suddenly, a slightly muffled sound of footsteps came from outside the wide-open Changchun Hall bedroom.

"My husband is back."

The moment she heard the footsteps, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on Wang Qiujin's face.

Then he quickly stood up.

When he stood up, Xu Yi's figure appeared outside the open door of the bedroom.

"Husband."

Wang Qiujin smiled brightly and walked towards the dormitory.

"My lord."

Zhu Wanning stood up from the rose chair, walked one step in front of Xu Yi, then bowed slightly and saluted.

"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to be so outspoken."

"Just call Qiu Jin together."

Xu Yi looked at Zhu Wanning who was bowing slightly behind Wang Qiujin, nodded slightly and chuckled.

"Husband...husband."

Zhu Wanning's face turned slightly red when she heard this, and she called in a low voice.

"Um."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, then reached out and gently pinched the bridge of Wang Qiujin's nose.

"Did you secretly cook again today?"

Xu Yi shook Wang Qiujin's small nose and asked with a slight smile.

"Well."

"I went to the kitchen, but I didn't cook."

Wang Qiujin took half a step back to avoid Xu Yi's clutches, and then replied with a successful smile on her face.

"Um?"

Xu Yi looked at Wang Qiujin with some confusion.

"Husband, please move to the dining hall."

Wang Qiujin smiled, then pulled Zhu Wanning beside her and walked lightly towards the kitchen.

Xu Yi smiled helplessly when he saw this, and walked slowly to the dining hall of the side hall.

He sat down safely in the dining hall of the side hall.

Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning each held a mahogany tray and slowly walked into the dining hall of the side hall.

"Gold and silver soup, vinegar and celery, braised pork, Fuli crucian carp soup."

After the dishes on the mahogany tray were placed one by one, Wang Qiujin introduced them with a smile on her face.

The so-called gold and silver soup is actually just porridge made from rice and corn.

Because of its golden color mixed with silver, it is called gold and silver soup.

The vinegar and celery dish is as its name suggests. Celery and sauerkraut can be used as a dish to accompany wine.

As for braised pork and crucian carp soup, they are braised pork and tofu crucian carp soup respectively.

Naturally, these dishes are not delicacies from mountains and seas.

But for some reason, it was particularly pleasing to Xu Yi's eyes.

Wisps of aroma flowed from the plate into Xu Yi's breath.

It makes him have a big appetite.

at the same time.

My stomach, which had not eaten that day, was growling again.

"Husband, please try how it tastes."

Wang Qiujin's eyes flashed with distress, and she urged him softly.

"Together."….

Xu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, then looked at Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning and chuckled.

Wait for Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning to take their seats and take a seat.

Xu Yi then picked up a square piece of pork about two inches in size, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The approximately two-inch square piece of pork is half fat and half lean. It is fragrant and waxy, fat but not greasy.

The taste is mellow and juicy, with the aroma of wine mixed in. It is crispy but not broken, and it is extremely delicious.

"Was this braised pork dish made by Wan Ning?"

Xu Yi put down the bamboo stick in his hand thoughtfully, then looked up at Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning and asked softly.

"Husband...how do you know, husband?"

Wang Qiujin was slightly startled when he heard this, then asked with curiosity on his face.

"You told me."

Xu Yi chuckled lightly, then picked up another piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.

"I clearly haven't had time to explain."

Wang Qiujin was slightly startled when he heard this, and then murmured in a low voice.

"Wan Ning."

Xu Yi chuckled lightly and did not rush to answer the question. Instead, he looked past Wang Qiujin and looked at Zhu Wanning sitting at the dinner table again.

"I'm here."

Zhu Wanning was slightly startled when she heard this, and then replied softly.

"Do you know how much a pound of pig meat costs nowadays?"

Xu Yi put down the bamboo stick in his hand and his expression gradually became serious.

"I once heard from a servant that it cost thirty cents for four taels of meat, and one kilogram is worth about one hundred and twenty cents."

[In view of the general environment, Zhu Wanning pondered for a few breaths, and then said uncertainly.

'One hundred and twenty cents per catty. ,

Xu Yi murmured thoughtfully in a low voice after hearing this.

Take the current market conditions in the coal workshops of Lower Luo City as an example.

Day laborers work from sunrise to sunset, and their daily wages are seventy cents.

Long-term workers work from sunrise to sunset, and their daily wages are ninety cents.

And this is almost 10% higher than the market price.

This means that ordinary people need to work for more than a day to buy a pound of pig meat.

The price of mutton ranges from 350 to 600 yuan per kilogram.

Thinking about this.

Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.

"Is there any raw beef in the kitchen?"

Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then looked at Zhu Wanning again and asked softly.

"There's still half a pound of hog meat left."

"I'm going to get it now."

Zhu Wanning nodded slightly, and then got up and walked towards the kitchen of the side hall.

"No need to go to such trouble."

"You two eat first, I'll be back soon."

Xu Yi said softly, then stood up and walked towards the dining hall.

Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning looked at each other silently after hearing this.

They all saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Let's go together."

Wang Qiujin said softly and then stood up slowly.

"good."

Zhu Wanning, who was also full of doubts, was convinced when she heard this.

After more than a hundred breaths.

Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning walked slowly to the kitchen of the side hall.

at the same time.

Xu Yi took out half a pound of fat and thin pig meat from the cabinet on the side of the kitchen.

Then place it between your mouth and nose.

Place the pig meat between your mouth and nose before you have time to smell it carefully. ….

A slightly thick fishy smell instantly went straight into Xu Yi's nose.

He was so stunned that he almost vomited out.

"Husband?"

Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning couldn't help but stepped forward quickly when they saw this, and asked with concern on their faces.

"nothing."

Xu Yi shook his head slightly, and then put the raw beef in his hand back into the cupboard.

"Is the meat Wan Ning used for cooking just now the same as this meat?"

Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, looked at Zhu Wanning again and asked.

"I took off half of it for cooking, and my husband just took the other half."

Zhu Wanning nodded slightly and replied.

"This meat was brought by my mother, Tatsuki."

"Mother said she was killed today."

"It shouldn't break down so quickly."

Wang Qiujin looked at Xu Yi, who frowned slightly, and explained softly.

"The meat is not bad."

Xu Yi chuckled and shook his head when he heard this, and then explained.

As for

Why does raw pork have that taste?

Xu Yi gradually had an answer in his mind.

"Okay, go back and eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then took Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning to the dining hall of the side hall again.

Fang Yi took his seat.

Xu Yi picked up a piece of braised pork again and tasted it carefully.

Of course.

The braised pork in the mouth is still fragrant and glutinous, fat but not greasy, with a mellow and juicy taste, with the aroma of wine mixed in, and it is crispy but not broken.

"Wan Ning used wine to remove the fishy smell from the pig meat?"

Xu Yi put down the bamboo stick in his hand and looked at Zhu Wanning again and asked.

"Exactly."

Zhu Wanning paused for a moment, then nodded lightly and replied.

"My husband doesn't know something."

"To make this braised pork dish."

"Wan Ning has been busy for more than two hours."

Seeing this, Wang Qiujin couldn't help but add softly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Wanning."

Xu Yi paused slightly after hearing this, then picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it gently in Zhu Wanning's bowl.

"As long as your husband likes it."

Zhu Wanning looked at the about two inches of braised pork in the bowl, her face turned slightly red, and she spoke quietly.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Xu Yi chuckled lightly, then picked up another piece of braised pork and put it into Wang Qiujin's bowl.

...

...

Halfway through the unitary hour.

Dusk fades and night falls.

The warm and harmonious dinner in the dining hall of the Changchun Hall gradually came to an end.

Xu Yi, who had grand plans, had to say goodbye to Wang Qiujin and Zhu Wanning.

Once again, he went to the empty study room in the side hall of Chengyun Hall alone.

After a while.

In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall, the lanterns are gradually burning.

Xu Yi leaned his back on the soft back of the Taishi chair, his hands were naturally crossed in front of his head, and his legs were naturally raised above the bookcase.

Wait until your body and mind are completely relaxed and there are no more distracting thoughts in your mind.

Xu Yi slowly closed his eyes, constantly recalling what he had seen and heard in his previous life.

I do not know how long it has been.

Xu Yi opened his eyes again and stood up from the imperial chair.

After pouring water, grinding ink, and laying paper.

Xu Yi took up his pen and slowly wrote two big characters on the yellowed rice paper - pig raising.

Rather than plundering cattle, sheep, war horses and other items from the Mobei grasslands through war, they were used to alleviate the financial deficit crisis of the Yan Palace.

Raising pigs, although the results are slower, is less risky and the benefits will be more lasting and reliable in the future.

Xu Yi paused slightly.

Then based on the memory in my mind.

On the yellowed rice paper, he slowly wrote the method of slapping pigs that was commonly used in later generations.

After a while.

The writing stops and the writing is completed.

After returning the Langhao pen to its original position.

Xu Yi looked at the yellowed rice paper written on the book with the words "Inhumane" written on it very seriously.

By raising pigs in this way, pigs that used to take only one year to be sold can be sold in only half a year, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the cost of raising pigs.

And the meat of castrated pigs is more delicious and has no peculiar smell.

This will undoubtedly make it even more popular.

And its price is several times cheaper than mutton.

It is bound to be more popular with ordinary people.

It goes without saying how big the underlying market is.

As for the preservation of pork in summer.

This problem is naturally not a big problem for the people of Yan and even the people of Zhou who have already mastered the method of making ice from saltpeter.

As for the issue of leakage of this law.

Xu Yi never worried about this from beginning to end.

As for the reason

, it is very simple.

It is nothing more than wound infection after castration of piglets.

Generally, piglets need to be castrated around five days after they are born.

During this period, piglets are already vulnerable.

Once the wound becomes infected.

It is bound to be a waste of both pigs and wealth.

But Xu Yi is not like that. He still has high-concentration Youning wine in his hands.

And there will be another workshop later this year for brewing high-concentration alcohol. .

Ice tea is always there
