"Not bad!"
Li Xin wrapped his clothes tighter around himself and walked into the house.
Lifting the thick curtain and stepping inside, I instantly felt much warmer.
"Bows, arrows, leather armor, horses, and other supplies are just right to arm our royal guards!"
Li Xin leaned over the brazier, warming himself by the fire, and said, "Register these supplies and hand them over to Wei Jun and He Chaojun for disposal."
"yes!"
Liu Jingxuan nodded in agreement.
"As for those wounded warhorses,"
Li Xin licked his dry lips and asked, "Can he still be saved?"
"No, it's impossible."
Liu Jingxuan shook his head and said, "The power of the thunderbolt is too great. Some warhorses are covered in wounds and it will be difficult to save them."
Even those with minor injuries were barely breathing due to the freezing weather.
Most of these four hundred or so wounded warhorses were beyond saving...
What a waste of so many fine horses!
"What's there to regret!"
Li Xin wasn't particularly saddened. "A dead horse is good to be had!"
No matter how fine a warhorse is, it is still a beast.
They're dead, perfect for being eaten as meat!
The thought of meat made Li Xin lick his lips again.
During this period, Li Xin felt like he was starving, eating only two meals a day, one dry and one porridge.
Not only is meat scarce, but even vegetables are rare.
With so many injured warhorses, it's a good time to give them an extra meal!
"Give the order,"
Li Xin laughed and said, "Take out half of the dead horse, and cook it tonight!"
Every citizen of the city should get a little bit to try!
This is also a way to reward everyone for their hard work these past few days!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Even Liu Jingxuan was a little excited, his throat tightened, and he wanted to taste the meat.
"Oh, right,"
Li Xin chuckled and whispered, "Leave me some spare ribs!"
Spare ribs, they're so delicious!
Horse meat is rather tough, and if not prepared properly, it can even taste sour.
Ribs are one of the best parts of horse meat.
I learned this when I went on a trip to the grasslands.
Therefore, Li Xin directly ordered the spare ribs.
"Hehe, I understand."
Liu Jingxuan chuckled and agreed.
Before long, the whole city became lively.
Upon hearing that horse meat would be cooked, everyone sprang into action.
Some slaughtered the animals, others chopped the meat.
The pot of a pot.
Everyone is busy.
One or two hundred horses' meat, a large quantity.
Even though there were many ordinary people and refugees in the city, everyone could get a share.
Before long, a rich aroma filled the city.
The people, who hadn't smelled meat in a long time, all felt their throats tingle and swallowed hard.
In these chaotic times, being able to eat is already a blessing.
Not to mention eating meat, that was something I couldn't even dream of!
As night fell, the horse meat stew was ready.
Li Xin also came out of the house. Looking at the people around him, Li Xin smiled and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, today we drove away the grassland bandits. You have made great contributions!"
"This horse meat is a treat for you tonight!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The people cheered and were excited.
Her eyes were filled with glistening tears, brimming with sincere emotion.
In chaotic times, human life is as worthless as grass.
They are fortunate enough to have found a wise ruler; that is a blessing earned over many lifetimes!
Looking at the excited crowd around him, Li Xin also felt a sense of excitement.
"Fellow villagers,"
Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Although we have driven away the grassland bandits, the difficulties facing our Dongning City have not yet been resolved!"
After tonight, fellow villagers, we must work together to defend Dongning City!
"Everyone, please eat!"
After giving the instructions, the people in the city began to feast, enjoying the horse meat and soup.
Even the palace guards who weren't on duty were enjoying their meal.
Even the soldiers on duty on the city wall were given horse meat and meat soup.
The whole city was filled with joy and harmony.
Inside the Prince's residence, Li Xin also wore a bright smile.
Looking at the large plate of ribs in front of him, Li Xin couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Your Highness, there's not enough to eat, there's more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jingxuan smiled mysteriously, took out a large, steaming bowl from the side, and placed it in front of Li Xin.
"What's this?"
Looking at the steaming liquid in front of him, Li Xin took a deep breath and smelled it.
"Huh?"
Instantly, Li Xin's eyes lit up, "This is..."
"hey-hey,"
Liu Jingxuan laughed, "Your Highness, how can we eat meat without wine?"
This is local wine from Dongning City; Your Highness, please try some.
When it comes to wine, Li Xin's taste buds are awakened.
He picked up the large bowl, took a small sip, and tasted it.
"Is...is this wine?"
Li Xin was stunned. "It tastes sour and has no alcohol flavor at all."
It's not even as good as beer in later generations!
Not to mention comparing it to baijiu!
When I have time, I must brew a good wine and let them taste what real wine is!
"Your Highness, it's good enough that we have this local wine."
Liu Jingxuan sighed helplessly and said, "In Dongning, we don't even have enough grain to eat, let alone brew wine."
With some yeast cakes, brewing a pot of local liquor in winter is quite good!
These wine cakes were found during a search of the Zhao and Qian families' properties.
Forehead?
Li Xin was stunned.
But on second thought, that makes sense.
In this era, people are still worried about having enough to eat.
