Chapter 351 People need face, trees need skin
After a meal, the kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty felt a little strange when they walked.
"Why does it look like you eat too much?"
Xu Xiaoyu felt that the emperor and the prime minister should look like gods, but the monarch and ministers in front of him subverted his impression.
Wang Er Er slapped him, "I just ate too much."
Changsun Wuji looked at Jia Pingan with complicated eyes, and asked, "Just castration?"
Wang Zhongliang, who was accompanying him, couldn't help clamping his legs.
Jia Pingan glanced at him, "No, just cut the... egg."
"Is it troublesome?" Li Zhi asked.
He is too aware of the benefits of pig meat being served on the table.
"Simple, the housekeeper of the minister's house... Du He, come here."
Jia Pingan beckoned, and when Du He came over, he introduced: "The steward of the minister's family has only seen it a few times, and then he can be castrated."
Xu Jingzong analyzed: "How many castrations can be castrated in Chang'an City every day? The old man thought that teaching a dozen people would be enough."
"And the country!"
"People in the countryside can let them go in turn. As long as they can make money, who wouldn't want to go?"
The pig-cutters of later generations traveled from village to household. They went to a family to castrate piglets, and others estimated the time of day at their house, so they would make an appointment with him and come to castrate them at that time.
Jia Pingan once saw those pig cutters taking the money and taking the eggs away, and I don’t know what to do with them.
Later, Li Zhi returned to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Queen said that they have prepared good food."
"I have eaten."
Li Zhi went straight to Wu Mei.
The child is breastfeeding, and Wu Mei is sitting by the window reading a book.
"Your Majesty." Wu Mei stood up to greet her.
"Sit on your seat." Li Zhi pressed his hands, and when she sat down, he said with emotion: "I went to Daodefang today, and your younger brother made pig meat as a treat, and it turned out to be delicious."
Well!
Wu Mei frowned, "Doesn't it stink?"
"It's delicious." Li Zhi was still savoring the taste of the hog meat, "The twice-cooked pork is delicious, and it goes well with rice. The braised pork melts in the mouth, and the boiled pork slices are also very fragrant."
"He actually has such cooking skills?" Wu Mei couldn't help being surprised: "Then why..."
Why don't you show filial piety to sister?
Li Zhi sensed her emotions, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, "He has been raising pigs for a year. This is a brand new way of raising pigs. The pigs don't smell bad. Do you know what people in the world eat meat?"
Wu Mei recalled her time at home, "mutton is the most, or chicken."
"But the common people can't afford meat." Li Zhi's brows were full of relief, "In the past, those common people ate very little meat, but they can only grow strong by eating meat!"
Li Zhi stood up, "You are a child."
Later, Wang Zhongliang came with a reward.
Li Zhi rewarded Wu Mei with a lot of money, the key is to reward Wu Mei with a big piece of jade Ruyi, and he even showed it off in a big way.
Ruyi Ruyi means to make you wishful.
The queen exploded.
"The emperor actually rewarded that **** Ruyi? What credit did she make? Shameless!"
The ferocious look on the queen's face made Cai Yan even frightened.
And Concubine Xiao Shu has already exploded.
Her growling can be heard from far away.
"I didn't have any success in bearing children for His Majesty, so that **** gave birth to a son, why? I don't accept it!"
Compared with qualifications, compared with the production of Concubine Xiao Shu, she is not afraid, but why does that **** Wu Mei get her wish?
The roar in the palace reached Wu Mei, she just smiled slightly, then picked up the swaddle, "Your uncle is capable, and can bring benefits to your mother."
The child opened his eyes, looked at Wu Mei blankly, and suddenly laughed.
"It's really endearing."
Presents came outside.
"Zhaoyi, this is a gift from Uncle Wuyang. He said it was sweet and sour pork ribs, which can be eaten even if it is cold."
Shaopeng opened the food box and just glanced at it...
nice.
Take another sniff.
It smells so good!
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Is this pork meat?"
"yes."
Wu Mei ate a piece, squinting her eyes to feel it.
"Zhaoyi..."
The whole room is crying!
Wu Mei nodded, "Fragrant!"
Hog's reputation rose instantly.
In the East City, there was a seller of piglets.
In a long cage made of bamboo, a few black pigs were whining and chirping.
"Look, this is a top-notch little pig. The steward of Uncle Wuyang's family castrated it himself, and it will not stink when it grows up."
Everyone swarmed up.
"Is this pig meat edible?"
"Of course I can eat it, Your Majesty has eaten it all."
In order to advertise pig meat, Xu Jingzong said that Li Zhi ordered to buy three hairs from Lao Jia's house, and then slaughtered them. The emperor invited important officials to eat pig meat.
It is said that the emperor held a stewed pig's foot and praised: "This thing should only exist in the sky."
Immediately the hog turned over.
Jia Pingan went to Shangya in the morning, and saw a few people driving a group of pigs to Dongshi.
"How to sell this pig?" Someone asked.
"This hog has never been castrated, it stinks! I'm planning to go to Dongshi to ask someone to castrate it."
Jia Pingan laughed as soon as he heard it, "It's useless to wait for the big pig to be castrated."
"Who said that?"
"Someone said it."
"You... Uncle Wuyang?"
Several swineherds hurriedly saluted, and then said happily: "Since pig meat became edible, many people went to buy piglets to raise at home, and the price was much higher. We used to make less money raising pigs, and we always felt that It's shameful, but it's different now, even His Majesty says that pig meat is delicious, which one doesn't eat it?"
"Thank you Uncle Wuyang."
The swineherds thank you.
Jia Pingan couldn't help but think of a scene.
In the pig farms of later generations, there is a tablet enshrined: the seat of the pig **** Jia Pingan.
Arrived outside the imperial city, there happened to be two servants preparing to go out. After seeing Jia Pingan, they were both a little awkward.
"There are rumors in the palace that the meat after castration is more fragrant, and the servants are a little bit disgusted."
The last time Li Jingye showed his supernatural power, the emperor praised him afterwards, and the baby was very proud. It is said that Li Ji was whipped when he returned home. The reason is unknown.
"Brother, what do you think if the sheep are also castrated? There are also chickens, ducks and geese."
"Go home and try."
Jia Ping'an just said it casually, but Li Jingye actually agreed.
This baby will probably be beaten again by Lao Li.
Turn back and practice to become an indestructible body of King Kong, invincible in the battlefield.
Jia Pingan laughed and entered Baiqi.
"Is pig meat really edible?"
Ming Jing sat in the duty room, looking like an eminent monk.
"You can try it yourself and you will know."
Jia Pingan received the message and began to review it.
Recently, it’s all about trivial things, Jia Pingan casually passed the news to Ming Jing, “There’s something wrong, just watch.”
Ming Jing just took over these, and she was very curious, so she read them word by word.
Jia Ping'an praised: "Sure enough, I have done my duty."
This is the first time Ming Jing has been praised by him, and she can't help but secretly happy.
After Jia Ping'an left, Cheng Da came in, "Ming Zhongguan, so-and-so went out for a while."
Ming Jing frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't read the news yet, if I find anything, who can I turn to?"
Cheng Da was stunned, "Uncle Wuyang said it earlier, today it's all trivial matters..."
Ming Jing looked at the stack of papers and clenched her hands tightly.
Jia Ping'an, I am at odds with you!
Jia Ping'an went to the Iron Head Restaurant.
Duo Duo is still practicing calligraphy independently in Jinji.
The weather is hot, she is wearing a little thinner, and the snake head on the chest can be seen.
"I met Uncle Wuyang."
Duo Duo never thought that his patron would become an earl, so his attitude was more respectful.
She went to make tea herself, and Jia Pingan sat there.
"The slave sent someone to follow him, but he ran too fast and went to places with a lot of people, and disappeared after a few strokes."
Jia Ping'an has always wanted to know who sent the news that Fang Yiai was going to cheat Xue Wanche to many people, but so far he has no clue.
"By the way, there are Hu merchants from the Western Regions selling jewelry these days, and there are quite a few people buying them." Many people glanced at Jia Ping'an, thinking that although this young Uncle Wu Yang is unmarried, he should have many confidante friends. .
Women like shiny things, and those things look beautiful.
Jia Ping'an's heart moved slightly, thinking of buying some to tidy up and save to coax women.
An evil young man took him to find the shop.
There are more than ten women in the shop at the moment, and they are choosing jewelry chatteringly.
"A man came in."
It is rare for men to come to jewelry stores, and women look curious.
"Guests, please come in." Hu Nu welcomed Jia Pingan in very enthusiastically, Hu Shang smiled and said: "Welcome precious guests, the best jewelry in the world here."
Jia Pingan took a look...
Familiar!
Those brocade boxes contained shiny black jewelry.
Jia Pingan picked up a piece, Hu Nu immediately reached out to take it by the side, a sense of dignity emerged spontaneously.
Jia Pingan sighed and put the jewelry back.
Hu Nu looked puzzled, "Doesn't the customer want to buy it?"
A woman said with a smile: "This thing is also more expensive, the young man can't afford it!"
"So can afford it."
Jia Ping'an turned around and prepared to go back.
Hu Shang is well versed in aggressive methods, "Is it true that the guests are too expensive? These gems come from ancient countries in the West. It is rumored that there is magic power in the gems, which can block the invasion from the devil..."
Several women were moved, "I bought it."
"I buy it too."
Hu Shang's eyes became more comfortable.
These clubs!
Jia Pingan didn't want to care about it, but the look in Hu Shang's eyes made him feel uncomfortable, "This is not a gem, this thing is a variant of Shi Nirvana, what gem..."
Really laughed out loud.
This thing is called coal essence in later generations.
Coal essence was found in coal mines in the early years. When coal was first used for heating and cooking, the coal sold by some small coal mines was often mixed with coal essence.
Even kids don't play with it.
"The guest's words are wrong." Hu Shang smiled and said: "I don't know what Shi Nie is, but this thing is a rare treasure..."
Jia Pingan picked up a piece of coal essence, "This thing is light, and it will burn when thrown into the fire, but the fire is very small. Gemstones... go find some people who know stone nirvana."
Stone is coal.
At present, the fuel used in Chang'an is mainly wood charcoal, and very little coal is used.
But it is still used.
Knowing that it was Jia Ping'an's request, Duoduo mobilized his subordinates, and offered a reward by the way.
Not long after, two men were brought here.
"See this thing?"
Jia Pingan pointed to the coal essence.
A man stepped forward, picked up the fine coal jewelry and weighed it, "It's so light."
Another man sniffed, "It smells a bit familiar."
He cautiously did not take the jewelry, but leaned over and sniffed it a few times, and then said firmly, "It's Shi Nirvana!"
Hu Shang exploded immediately.
"This is a gem from the west, it can block the peeping of the devil, and it can block the arrival of bad luck..."
Drama!
Jia Pingan picked up a piece of jewelry, "I'll pay for this piece."
Then he tapped the jewelry on the handle of the knife.
The jewelry is cracked, no, broken.
"This is Shi Nie, this kind of gem... How much do you want?" Jia Pingan asked with a smile.
Hu Shang's complexion changed slightly, "This is bad luck..."
"If you dare to coax again, get out of Chang'an!" Jia Ping'an clapped his hands.
The women were surprised, and immediately someone took the jewelry and played with it.
"Hands are black."
Fuck!
Jia Ping'an went out, and shouts and curses came from inside immediately.
"This profiteer, come here, go and invite people from the market, there are liars here!"
"catch him!"
Hu Shang wanted to run away, but he underestimated the toughness of the Tang woman, and was beaten up immediately.
The women were in a good mood, and someone asked: "That boy just now... thanks to him, otherwise we would have been fooled."
"Find him, reward him!"
These are women who are not short of money, and they come out to look around for Master Jia.
"Not here."
Someone among the servants waiting outside the door asked, and then said: "The one who came out earlier is Uncle Wuyang."
"It turned out to be him?"
A woman praised: "Sure enough, he is a tiger riding a hundred horses with great knowledge..."
…
Jia Ping returned to Baiqi, Ming Jing looked at him coldly and said nothing.
"This is..." Jia Pingan felt that this girl was a bit stingy.
Of course, the element of his deliberate teasing was ignored.
Ming Jing lowered her head, looked at the latest news, and suddenly smiled.
Jia Pingan said with disdain: "Smile more generously."
Ming Jing said gloatingly: "There is news that someone went to smash the Chang'an cafeteria earlier."
Jia Pingan got up, and Ming Jing just wanted to continue, but he snatched the news.
This little thief is really rude!
Jia Ping'an turned and went out, "Bao Dong, Lei Hong!"
"exist!"
Jia Pingan called more than 20 people and went out in a mighty way.
…
The door of Chang'an canteen was smashed.
The door is the face!
The shopkeeper Ji Chengnan said in grief and indignation: "The people from the Fang family smashed it as soon as they came, and they didn't tell the reason..."
Jia Pingan nodded slightly, "How much did you lose?"
Ji Chengnan shook his head, "It's not a big loss, but... it's a loss of face."
"A person has a face, a tree has a skin!" Jia Pingan glanced at the onlookers, "Wait."
Ji Chengnan pulled Jia Pingan and lowered his voice, "That's the Fang family."
"Whoever peels the face of X, X will peel his skin!"
Jia Ping'an took his people there in a mighty way.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
"Is this going to Fang's theory?"
"Go and see."
Some people who had nothing to do followed behind, all the way to Fang's house.
The members of the Fang family saw how many people they had, so they shouted, "This is the Duke of Liang's mansion!"
Fang Yiai still lives here.
Jia Pingan stood directly in front of the gate, sneered and said, "Smashed the gate!"
Bao Dong was taken aback.
This is the gate of the Duke’s Mansion!
Break down this door, the Fang family, including Fan Yang and Lu's family, will all become Jia Ping'an's enemies.
But what is a confidant?
Bao Dong took the lead and charged forward.
Lei Hong followed closely behind, followed by more than twenty hundred riders.
The door panicked, "Come here! Someone knocked on the door!"
Boom!
The gates of rich and powerful people are usually closed. Bao Dong bumped into it, and was bounced back, feeling sore all over his body.
Others rushed up, or bumped, or kicked, the door pinged and trembled constantly.
"Get out of the way!"
Jia Ping'an turned his head, only to see Bao Dong and Lei Hong pushing a large cart that they didn't know where and bumped into it.
This is amazing!
Boom!
The door was knocked open.
Behind the door, the members of the Fang family were furious, and someone shouted, "Kill them!"
Jia Pingan took a step forward, and the hundred riders quickly returned to the formation.
Bao Dong shouted: "Draw the knife!"
Clang!
Long knives everywhere!
The people inside looked at each other, not daring to move.
Fang Xuanling was famous for his first life, but he raised a stupid son.
Jia Ping'an turned around, "Go back!"
News are uploaded everywhere.
Fang Yiai, who was recuperating on the bed, was furious, got up and shouted: "Follow me, go smash Jia's house!"
He was just about to take people to go out, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came back straight away.
Fang Yi looked straight at the door, and suddenly knelt down and howled three times. After getting up and entering, Fang Yiai, who was slapped three times, was furious.
"Brother, why did you hit XX?"
Fang Yizhi's face was ashen, "You did a good job!"
He turned around and ordered: "Find someone to fix the gate, take care of the house, and no one should go out."
He went out, looked at the sky outside, and suddenly felt very dark.
Later, Fang Yi went straight to the memorial, impeaching Wuyang Bo Jia Pingan for smashing his own door.
"...The cause has also been mentioned, but Fang Yiai sent people to smash the door of Chang'an cafeteria."
Changsun Wuji pondered.
Liu Shi glanced at him, but didn't see the signal.
It stands to reason that if Jia Ping'an had an accident, we should add insult to injury!
Why don't you move?
He thought of what the queen had told her yesterday.
—The Wu family is domineering and threatening.
Liu Xun knew that the queen was worried about two things. One was that the Wu family had a son; the other was that the emperor had recently favored the Wu family.
—The broom star is Wu Mei's Austrian aid in the foreign court.
Queen Wang hinted that Liu Xi would destroy Jia Ping'an and cut off Wu Mei's foreign aid.
This opportunity...
Liu Xun got up and said: "Your Majesty, Liang Guogong has made outstanding achievements, but Jia Ping'an smashed the door of his house. This is a shame! Extremely domineering!"
He glanced at Yuwen Festival.
Yuwen Festival was silent.
This old thing has recently started to sit on the wall again!
Liu Shi disdains.
Chu Suiliang stood up, "Your Majesty, this wind cannot last long."
These words are brief, but extraordinarily powerful.
The Fang family is not only the Fang family, but also related to Fan Yang and the Lu family by marriage.
Jia Pingan offended two families in one fell swoop, and Fan Yang and Lu's family were even more powerful. How could he convince the public if he was not severely punished?
Li Zhi is silent.
The emperor is not right today!
Everyone is still guessing.
Changsun Wuji said: "Fang Yiai is domineering in front of this matter, and Jia Ping's revenge is in the back. There must be no chaos."
Yoo-seok: "..."
Chu Suiliang: "..."
The boat of friendship capsizes?
Could it be that grandson Xianggong drank too much?
Changsun Wuji glanced at Chu Suiliang, and said: "Fang Yiai is domineering, he should be reprimanded. Jia Ping's revenge, the mistake is that he used a hundred riders, he should be fined."
The action has been brewing for several years. Changsun Wuji knew the complete version, and Chu Suiliang also knew a little bit, so he didn't understand Changsun Wuji's attitude.
Li Zhi knew it well, knowing that this was to incriminate Fang Yiai.
When it's time to do something, today's incident is a motivation to announce to the public.
So he took advantage of the situation and said: "You scold Fang Yiai, Jia Ping'an..."
He thought of Wu Mei.
I thought of pig meat again.
"Stop Jia Ping'an."
Chu Suiliang: "..."
Yoo-seok: "..."
The two looked at Changsun Wuji.
Eldest Sun Wuji was silent.
…
Brothers, good night, if you have a ticket, don't save it until tomorrow.
