Chapter 146 The pork is very fragrant
When the Fifth Prince heard this, his expression changed slightly.
He had to admit that he had once again judged others by his own standards.
At the same time, he had to admit that although Chu Ci was a weak woman, she knew how to consider the people better than he, a prince who had been taught by great Confucian scholars since childhood.
"Cousin, what I mean is, what do you need me to do? I'm happy to cooperate." As he said this, he forced out an awkward but polite smile.
Chu Ci didn't understand what the Fifth Prince was up to, but he didn't want to refuse the labor that came right to him. "Really? Then, don't find excuses to refuse!"
"Don't worry." The fifth prince agreed readily.
However, it just so happened that among those who were lucky enough to buy the braised pork, there was a family whose eldest son was an official in the government office.
The bright red braised pork with its fragrant aroma instantly attracted the attention of teachers, students and people passing by.
Teacher Minben was a gourmet. With just a sniff, he knew that the taste of the meat was completely different from anything he had eaten before.
Could it be that a new restaurant had opened in Lianzhou City without his knowledge? He couldn't contain his curiosity and was eager to find out.
He immediately said to the servant beside him, "Go and find out."
After receiving the order, the servant quickly took action.
A moment later, the servant returned and reported all the information he had obtained.
Teachers and students were filled with doubts. "Are you sure that dish is made with pork?"
In the impression of teachers, students and the public, pork has always been regarded as a lowly thing. How can such a delicious dish be made from it?
"Yes, it is said that it came from the 'pre-marital training'. And I heard that the pigs were also raised using special methods." The servant did not dare to hide it and told the news.
"Special method?" How many officials are without ambition?
The teachers, students and the public immediately thought of the news they had received before, and their hearts were suddenly overwhelmed with excitement. If the situation was true, this would be a political achievement that came right to their doorstep.
It seems that Zhang Yaoyang and Chu Ci have a good relationship.
Almost immediately, the teachers and students found Zhang Yaoyang and asked directly, "Sima Zhang, do you know that 'premarital training' can use special methods to reduce the fishy smell of pork?"
Zhang Yaoyang is a straightforward person, and in his opinion, with the Fifth Prince around, no matter what achievements Chu Ci makes, they can only benefit from it.
"Many people know about this. Don't you, Governor, know about this?" Zhang Yaoyang spoke as fast as ever, and almost choked the teachers, students, and the public to death when he opened his mouth.
At the same time, he was secretly resentful in his heart, wondering why he didn't have the same luck as Zhang Yaoyang.
But no matter how uncomfortable it was, he could only endure it. He forced a professional smile and said, "I plan to go over and investigate. Is Sima Zhang willing to come with me?"
Even if Zhang Yaoyang was as fierce as he could be, he couldn't refuse such a blatant request from his boss! "Of course."
But when the two of them got the news, it was already a little late.
Even if you rush over as fast as you can, the braised pork, pork elbow, braised pork belly, and pork and scallion dumplings are already gone, leaving only the lingering fragrance in the yard.
The fifth prince was also leisurely lying on a recliner in the yard to digest his food.
I suddenly felt very jealous, but I had something in my heart that I wanted, so I couldn't say it even though I was empty-handed.
Of course, this is just the feeling of teachers, students and people, not Zhang Yaoyang’s idea.
As soon as Zhang Yaoyang entered the house, his stomach started growling uncontrollably.
But Zhang Yaoyang is thick-skinned!
After paying his respects to the Fifth Prince, he quietly came to Chu Ci and said, "Madam Fan, what delicious food have you prepared? May I have the honor of tasting it?"
Chu Ci was completely sated with food and wine, feeling incredibly lazy. "We're out of the main course, but if Master Zhang doesn't mind, we should still have some pork head and stewed spareribs."
In this era, people preferred fat meat. Since they were paying money, the fatter the better, so the pig head and ribs were left over.
Zhang Yaoyang didn't mind. He asked the cook for three large bowls, filled them with one bowl of pork head, one bowl of pork ribs, and one bowl of pancakes, and hurriedly brought them over.
Teachers and students: Why didn’t he know that Zhang Yaoyang was so fierce before?
Fearing that he would be implicated, the teachers and students hurriedly apologized on Zhang Yaoyang's behalf: "King Qin, Sima Zhang may be too hungry and feel a little dizzy."
Unexpectedly, the Fifth Prince interrupted directly: "Master, you should know that I am just a bald prince now and cannot take charge of too many things. If you want to achieve political achievements, learn from Master Zhang."
After saying that, he stood up and left a dashing back view for the teachers, students and the public.
Teachers, students and the public: ...
However, Zhang Yaoyang seemed oblivious to the frustration, embarrassment, and speechlessness felt by the teachers, students, and civilians. "Sir Governor, these bones are so delicious. Would you like some too?"
But seeing Zhang Yaoyang eating so happily, he made up his mind.
He simply took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork head (it was impossible for teachers, students and people to ask him to do what Zhang Yaoyang did and just gnaw on the bones without caring about his image).
The five-spice pork head meat is fresh, spicy and fragrant when you put it in your mouth. The meat is fat but not greasy. Each piece exudes a rich aroma that is unforgettable.
Once I started eating this, I simply couldn't stop, even though as teachers and students from the south, I was more accustomed to eating rice.
But this time, the pancake has a crispy outer crust and a soft inner part. A light bite will fill your mouth with rich aroma.
The aroma of meat and cakes was distinct and irresistible. Before they knew it, they had eaten up all three bowls of food.
Chu Ci didn't want the two of them to get hurt from the food, so he quickly ordered someone to make some digestive tea and bring it to them.
After eating and drinking, the two finally remembered their business.
But when they thought of their own actions, the hypocrisy in the hearts of teachers, students and people rose again.
So Zhang Yaoyang got straight to the point. "Madam Fan, the governor believes that if pig farming can be popularized, it will significantly increase the income of the people in Lianzhou. Do you think this idea is feasible?"
Chu Ci glanced at the teachers and students not far away, and seeing him nod, he said happily: "Of course, if the governor is willing to lend a hand, the promotion will definitely be faster."
Although Chu Ci pretended to be very conscientious, he took the initiative as soon as he opened his mouth.
Teachers and students thought of the warning look in the Fifth Prince's eyes when he left, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful for coming here at this time.
He couldn't help but imagine that if he had come when the Fifth Prince was away, he would have been able to gain more initiative. Perhaps he could even be promoted to the capital based on this achievement.
Thinking of this, Shishengmin's eyes flickered slightly. "Madam Fan, you're using the government to endorse you, but you're eating meat yourself. Are you really not afraid at all?"
Chu Ci: Is it true that two different people can sleep in the same bed?
