Knowing that what he ate turned out to be pork, Situ Chen's outstretched chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and he was a little bit hesitant to continue eating.

In the past, the fishy smell of pork could only be suppressed by using a lot of spices, and Situ Chen had a mild taste, so he didn't eat pork at all.

But this plate of pork didn't have any fishy smell, Situ Chen paused for a moment, and happily picked up another piece of meat.

"I thought it was beef..."

There is a huge difference between pork and beef, even if the fourth prince has never eaten pork or beef?When Jia She thought that the fourth prince was strict with himself in the past, it seemed that it was possible that he hadn't eaten much beef.

Although Daqi forbids the consumption of beef, the government does not care about the consumption of cows that have died of old age or disease.

But the quality of beef that died of old age is not good, and the cattle that died of illness are afraid of being infected by eating them.However, Daqi also stipulated that cattle that were seriously injured and unable to cultivate land could also be eaten.

So this has allowed many rich and noble families to take advantage of the loopholes, and two families in three days will change their ways and die.

Those who were bitten to death by crazy dogs, or those who drank water and drowned in the river were all rotten excuses.What's more, it even said that the cow fell and broke its leg.

"The pork in the subordinate village is different from the pork in ordinary butcher stalls..."

All the pigs in Jia She's Zhuangzi have been "caught".

The pigs that have been castrated not only eat more feed and grow faster, but also the fishy smell in the meat is gone.

Many meat dishes in the cafeteria are made from pork provided by Jia Amnesty's Zhuangzi, and the servants have eaten it for half a year without feeling anything wrong.Because it is still in the exploratory stage, there is no large-scale breeding.

"My lord, try this dish again, pork stewed with sauerkraut, it's a perfect match!"

The washed sauerkraut is cut as thin as a hair, and becomes more delicious after inhaling the meat oil boiled from the pork belly.The five-flowered three-layer meat slices are boiled in the soup for a long time together with the shredded sauerkraut, and the mouth does not feel greasy at all.If dipped in a little garlic sauce, it is a unique delicacy.

Situ Chen even ate pork today. He didn't hesitate at all when he saw the garlic sauce. He picked up a piece of pork belly and dipped it in the garlic sauce before putting it in his mouth.

The mellow aroma of pork belly combined with the spiciness of garlic sauce made Situ Chen, who had never tasted this kind of taste, couldn't help sighing "hmm~".

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Situ Chen immediately looked around at the people in the room with a straight face.Seeing that everyone had an expression of "I don't see anything, I don't hear anything", Situ Chen picked up a chopstick of sauerkraut and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm~"

This meal, Situ Chen unknowingly ate a bit too much, looking at the leftovers at the table, Situ Chen loosened his belt quietly and said: "Enhou is not only smart in business, but also quite accomplished in farming and food. .If you open a restaurant, the business will definitely be booming."

You can't make much money by opening a restaurant, and you have to be wary of people who come to make trouble from time to time.Jia Xie didn't mean to drink wine, but asked his servants to bring a small plate of fried peanuts.

"My lord, try this peanut, it will relieve the bad smell in your mouth." In order to prove that the peanut is not poisonous, Jia Amnesty took the brunt of the peanut and threw it into his mouth.

It was the first time for Situ Chen to hear about peanuts, so he picked up two bean-like peanuts, threw them into his mouth and chewed them twice.

It smells so good!And the more you chew, the more delicious it is!

"Where did Enhou get this kind of thing? Why have I never heard of it before?" Situ Chen breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, and sure enough, the peculiar smell in his mouth decreased a lot.

In fact, this thing existed when Jia Daishan was still alive, and he got it from a missionary.It's just that Jia Daishan ordered people to plant peanuts and eat them as a side dish, and did not plant them on a large scale.

Once Jia She had a whim, he felt that both peanuts and sesame seeds taste delicious. Since sesame seeds can extract oil, can peanuts also extract oil?

As a result, four taels of oil were squeezed out of a catty of peanuts, which really shocked Jia She.

After returning to the capital, Jia She asked the tenants in the village to plant more peanuts, thinking about finding a suitable time to offer the peanuts.Although it is not enough to increase the rank and become a noble, the emperor's reward is indispensable.

The sense of presence in front of the emperor is high, and the emperor will naturally favor him more if the second room makes trouble in the future.

Although he didn't know the oil yield rate of other oil crops, Situ Chen felt that this peanut must be amazing just because Jia She went around such a big circle and showed him this peanut.

"So Enhou wants me to present this thing to my father?"

Of course, things that are beneficial to the people must be promoted, so as to gain both fame and fortune.However, Jia She said that it is enough to promote peanuts. As for the way of planting outside and the understory ginseng at the door, don't promote it.

He is not a saint, and he is still counting on saving money for his son.

The method of planting peanuts and the method of using the dregs after oil extraction had already been written by Jia Amnesty. After reading it, Situ Chen felt that there was no problem, so he asked Liu Yu to choose a guard to go back and present the paper.

Later, there were two pots of stewed pork and sauerkraut that were quickly cooked.One pot was presented to the emperor, and the other pot was given to Concubine Shun.

After the arrangements were made, Jia Amnesty and Situ Chen continued to visit other villages.

Although the prince's sitting in the six departments is basically just a point of view, but Situ Chen used to be serious about sitting in the yamen of the household department.Now that he went out of the capital with Jia Amnesty, the emperor said that this matter is really new.

Thinking that the two of them must be tinkering with something again, the emperor didn't take it seriously.

Left and right Jia Daishan has passed away for many years, and Jia She has no son to hold the military power from his father's business, so if you like to do some new tricks, go for it.What's more, the things that have been done these few times are all good, especially the matter of collecting wool from Tatars.

As for the fourth brother who always made himself look like a little old man in the past, he should be as happy as his other brothers now.

It’s okay to collect some money that doesn’t hurt or itch once in a while.

Unconsciously, the emperor's tolerance for Jia Amnesty and Situ Chen increased several levels.

Because the road was flat and unobstructed, Situ Chen's memorial soon reached the emperor's case.The emperor became interested as soon as he read the contents of the memorial. The data is clear and clear, which is much more interesting than the winding memorial.

The peanuts sent by the missionaries... The emperor was keenly aware of this, and immediately sent someone to investigate whether there were any missionaries near the capital.If there are, ask them if there are any things that Da Qi has not done before, and let Jia Shen study them.

Although Jia Amnesty's scriptures were clearly written, the emperor ordered people to take out the peanuts presented with the scriptures and extract the oil to see how the oil was produced.

The royal oil-pressing tools are much more refined than the Jia family's. A pound of peanuts can squeeze out nearly five taels of oil. Even the oil-pressing craftsmen couldn't help but ask what kind of crop it was.

When the squeezed oil arrived, the stewed pork and sauerkraut sent by Situ Chen also arrived in the palace.After all, it was his son's wish, and it was the first time for the fourth child to do this. The emperor smiled and ordered the little eunuch to take it to the imperial dining room to warm it up, and then go to Concubine Shun's for dinner later.

Although the emperor said yesterday that he would go to Concubine Zhen, now the emperor has changed his mind again. Feng Kaishun is thinking that the time has come when Concubine Shun's mother is more expensive than her son...

Concubine Zhen dressed up meticulously all day, and cooked a lot of side dishes that the emperor loved, but Concubine Shun chopped off a pot of sauerkraut.Concubine Zhen Gui was used to being domineering and domineering, but now she even showed her feelings on her face.

"I really underestimated Concubine Shun on weekdays, but now she is more and more capable." Concubine Zhen didn't let Situ Chen down while she hated Concubine Shun. .

Concubine Shun was surprised and delighted at the sudden arrival of the emperor, thinking that her son must have sent something to the emperor.

"The fourth child also gave Aifei a pot?" Well, to be filial to your parents, if the father gave it here, you can't leave the mother's share, right?

The emperor tasted the pork belly in the sauerkraut after the little eunuch tested the poison, and immediately knew why the eldest brother had to send this all the way.

It was so delicious!

The emperor, who was in a good mood after tasting the delicious food, rested directly in Concubine Shun's palace.They are all old couples, so naturally they just slept under the quilt.

Before falling asleep, the emperor took the initiative to talk about Situ Chen.

"There will be another draft soon, and it's time to choose a considerate princess for the fourth child."
