Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Three days later, the old eunuch Liu had good news. [-]% of the land deeds they took out were sold, and they got thousands of taels of gold. This is the first time Li Xu has seen so much gold, so it is somewhat understandable. What is the psychology of those corrupt officials who like to build walls with gold.

He also wanted to hide all the gold, and it would be good to have a look at it and touch it every day.

Maybe it's because he was used to being poor when he was a child. Li Xu loves money very much. He chooses between love and money. He chooses money 100%. Fortunately, although he loves money, he is not stingy. He is willing to spend the money that should be spent.

With the funds, Li Xu arranged for people to start purchasing supplies. According to Qiu Chengzhi, there will be no shortage of food on the way to Yangzhou, but no shortage does not mean that it is delicious. Li Xu feels tired of eating hot pimple soup every day. If you really want him to eat cold steamed buns and hard barbecue every day, wouldn't he go crazy?

But you must not bring too much. It is the end of summer and the weather is hot. Many foods are not easy to preserve. Half of the food that can be preserved for a long time is not very tasty.

The first food Li Xu thought of was instant noodles, which are definitely a must-have product for home travel, but instant noodles without preservatives can't be stored for a long time, and instant noodles without seasoning packs also lack soul.

It is not difficult to make noodles. Li Xu has eaten a lot of pasta these days. Although it is not made of fine white flour, at least there are ingredients. Cake and instant noodles are best made into thin noodles, which are easy to cook.

It is easy to make thin noodles, but the hard part is where to find so much oil to fry the instant noodles. This is an era before cooking, and few people would collect the oil for use.

Li Xu thought about the things that he knew could extract oil, lard, peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil... Except for soybeans, we have never even seen other plants, let alone The oil is pressed, but to squeeze the soybeans into oil, Li Xu has to build a set of oil-extracting equipment, not to mention too much trouble, and it takes too much time, so the first choice is to use lard.

However, he still overestimated the animal husbandry industry of this dynasty. After looking around, Li Xu found that there were very few people raising pigs, because at this time, pork was not popular with the public and had a strong smell, and he could only find it in the whole city. Dozens of wild boars, half of which were still dead, had been air-dried into bacon.

Li Xu calculated the amount of food for each meal of their group, and silently changed five hundred Yu Lin Jun's fried instant noodles into dry noodles, keeping only their family's portion.

When the first batch of pork fat was bought, Li Xu immediately asked Taohong to boil the fat into lard. The boiled lard was very fragrant. While the oil was hot, put the noodles through the oil, let it cool, and put it into the pork bones to boil Cooked in the soup, with marinated meat slices, green vegetables, eggs and fresh mushrooms, although there is less seasoning, it is already the most delicious meal Li Xu has eaten since his rebirth.

It was the first time for the young and old in the family to eat such soup cakes. They all thought it was delicious. They couldn’t eat pork in the palace. Such pork, which even the nobles disliked, was not eligible to enter the imperial dining room. Unexpectedly The food turned out to be so delicious.

Li Xu asked Xiaotao to put ginger and white wine in the soup to remove the fishy smell. The pork was cut into thin slices, and the pork was marinated with salt, egg white, ginger and white wine for an hour. It was really tender and delicious.

Li Xu also generously shared a bowl with Lin Zhao. Seeing him gobble it up, he seduced him, "Life is nothing more than eating and drinking. Food ranks first. This king eats delicious food. After Commander Lin, I will be with this king." Shall we dine at the same table?"

Lin Zhao was soft-spoken, and his attitude was much better, "It is an honor to be rewarded by the prince, how can there be no rules."

"It's not a matter of going out, so it's settled."

Lin Zhao was a little flustered, he was the emperor's confidant, and he should have kept a distance from Li Xu, but now he was eating and taking, and he always felt that he had betrayed the emperor in his heart.

Li Xu wanted to win people over. At noon the next day, he made a dish of braised pork with pork belly and sweet and sour pork ribs. It was so delicious that people wanted to swallow it with their tongues. Lin Zhao ate the most and ate it all After this meal, his firm loyalty to the emperor was shaken.

If you can eat such delicious food every day with King Shun, then life is enough.

Li Xu made a large pot of braised pork at one time, and when the whole table couldn't finish it, he took some out and gave it to a few Habayashi soldiers who had been with him in the past. At first, everyone looked at it as pork and felt a little disgusted, but smelled it. No matter how fragrant it is, it can't hide the essence of pork.

The first person to try it was to hold it for His Royal Highness Shun’s sake. The meat just entered his mouth, and the fragrant smell stimulated his taste buds to salivate crazily. When he bit it down, the fat meat was fat but not greasy, and the lean meat was lean and not greasy. The material, the taste is fragrant with a touch of sweetness, it melts in the mouth, it is really wonderful.

After that person ate the first piece, he couldn't stop eating one bite after another. The rest of the people who saw it couldn't help but be curious and also tasted it, and then they couldn't stop at all.

Meat-loving old men are rarely able to resist the charm of braised pork. The fat and thin pork belly is cut into squares. The stewed meat is brown in color and full of fragrance. The fragrance can be smelled far away. Smelling it makes people drool, and eating it makes people have endless aftertaste.

A plate of meat was robbed in an instant, and those who didn't grab it immediately surrounded the other plates of meat. Facing the eyes of hungry wolves from their comrades in arms, several people were not tasty enough to eat alone, but there was not enough meat. They had no choice but to keep a piece for themselves, and contribute the rest.

After they finished eating in small bites, everyone saw that the winner had been determined by force. The winner shared the meat, and the loser each shared a spoonful of soup.

It's just that once you taste this taste, you can't forget it. All the roundworms in your stomach are awakened, clamoring for meat.

After the members of the Yulin Army knew that His Royal Highness Shun Wang invented this meat, they all changed their views on him, and they no longer procrastinated when going out to do errands. Hunt fat wild boars and bring them back to the kitchen to add vegetables.
