Chapter 59 [The emperor kills pigs, cooks the cows]

Li Shimin suddenly became curious and couldn't help but say, "You have never said this before."

Changsun Miao's eyes were faint, and he turned to look at Li Yun's back, and said kindly: "That time, I and the sister-in-law of the Jiancheng family went to wander in the city. The local family specially put a trap and asked a few scoundrels to rush out to do bad things. My sister-in-law and Jiancheng were about to be dragged into the alley by them. Suddenly, the third brother rushed out in a furious manner. He killed everyone with a few punches and kicks, and then said to me, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, my sister-in-law, my brother protects you for the rest of his life..."

Changsun said this and his eyes were a little red, and he murmured: "At that time, the third brother was only a eleven or 2-year-old baby, but he dared to kill people for me. Afterwards, no matter how my father asked, he refused to say it. Everyone thought he was born stupid, but I thought he was not stupid at all. He knew that his sister-in-law almost got humiliated, and it would definitely be bad to get his reputation out. He would rather admit that he was murdering people crazy than tell the real reason for that matter."

Li Shimin was stunned for a long time, but unexpectedly there was such a case back then. The emperor's face was clear for a long time, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Xingyang Zheng family..."

Changsun gently pulled her husband's arm and said warmly: "These are the past events. Your Majesty must not be hated. Besides, I did not suffer any loss. My third brother killed all the bad guys."

Li Shimin's chest was undulating a few times, as if he was unwilling to show hatred in front of his ministers. He suddenly turned to look at Li Yun and said without thinking: "This child is very stupid. He can't even kill pigs..."

Suddenly he raised his feet and headed straight for the fat pig. He shouted softly, pretending to scold: "Get out of both little babies, let's see how I teach you how to do it. If you kill pigs like you, don't even think about eating meat before dark."

Cheng Chumo and Li Yun were sweating profusely. The master and apprentice did not know how to kill pigs. One was stabbing around with a knife, chopping the necks of several fat pigs to pieces, and the other was drying with bare hands, as if he wanted to tear off the pig's skin.

Li Shimin stepped forward and kicked Cheng Chumo away directly. He grabbed the little bully's short sword, suddenly looked at the short sword and smiled, scolding: "Good guy, golden sword, this is probably given by the emperor, you are actually killing a pig."

Cheng Chumo touched the back of his head stupidly and said embarrassedly: "I didn't prepare weapons in advance, I only have this thing to do."

"It's a bad weapon to kill a pig!"

Li Shimin laughed and cursed, turned around and saw Li Yun trying to peel pig skins. The emperor stepped forward and kicked Li Yun away, pretending to scold him, "Get out of here, you're upset when you look at him."

Li Yun was furious when he was kicked, and his eyes widened and he was about to fight back, but he saw Li Shimin holding a knife and stabbing his hands and feet neatly into the pig's neck. Then the knife slipped and pounced on it and broke his stomach.

The emperor raised his foot and stepped on the pig's head, with a quick knife in one hand and peeled the skin with the other hand. In a blink of an eye, the whole pig's skin was peeled off. The most amazing thing was that there was no damage at all.

Li Yun was amazed at the sight and couldn't help but squatted aside to study. After a long time, he praised: "You have good skills. Have you been a butcher before?"

Li Shimin's wrist trembled and almost couldn't hold the knife.

But before Li Yun finished speaking, he continued, "Depending on your technique, you must have been a good butcher before. Hey, it's strange. Does the royal family also have people from butchers? Your wife is so beautiful, how could she marry a butcher?"

Changsun almost burst out laughing over there.

Several important officials looked at each other and tried hard to hold back their laughter. Fang Xuanling's face turned red and he forced a gentle word and said, "The slaughter of the cow is also a way in the world..."

Changsun deliberately joked and laughed: "No matter how good you kill, he is still a butcher."

Li Yun didn't know if it was really or false, but pointed at Li Shimin and laughed: "Look, I just said you were a butcher before. Hello, are you interested in joining the group? I have a business of making bacon..."

...

Li Shimin had a face longer than a donkey, and he stared at Li Yun with gritted teeth and said, "Little guy, what you guessed is right. I was indeed a butcher before, and I plan to continue to be a butcher in the future, but you are too small in business, so it is difficult to invite a butcher like me to join the gang."

Li Yun curled his lips and said with a smile: "When I make a big deal in the future, how about asking you to be a butcher?"

The emperor suddenly threw the golden sword to Cheng Chumo, wiped the blood on his body, stared at Li Yun and nodded, "Okay, that's it. When you get a lot of money in the future, I'll join you as a butcher."

His expression was solemn.

Li Yun stretched out his hand with anticipation, stared at the emperor and said, "Why don't we swear by swearing?"

"Get out!" Li Shimin flew up and kicked Li Yun away directly.

The emperor stepped aside and sat directly on the ground, slowly said, "I have finished killing the pigs for you. I am not good at the rest. Let's cook. I heard you want to make a pig-killing dish."

Li Yun smiled and suddenly turned to Cheng Chumo and said, "A disciple, take the pot and boil water. He doesn't want to do it. Our master and apprentice do it by themselves. Without the Butcher Li, he will still eat fat pigs."

Li Shimin was slightly stunned and said, "Do you know that my king's surname is Li?"

Li Yun turned his face and smiled, blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "If you are the prince in the Tang Dynasty, is your surname Sun?"

Li Shimin stared at him up and down for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said, "You are right. The prince of the Tang Dynasty can only be named Li. You little kid are very bad at heart..."

It seemed that I wanted to add a sentence "I don't look like your father at all," but after thinking about it, I still held it in the end. He was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and could not express his opinion easily. Once I said this, it was no different from directly admitting Li Yun's identity.

If you admit it, you have to be a king.

But Li Yun's identity is still somewhat suspicious at present.

"Let's talk about it when Baiqisi comes back..." The emperor thought for a while and said in his heart: "It's time to arrive in Hebei. I guess if I find out clearly, I will go back."

...

Li Yun and Cheng Chumo became busy over there again.

One of the master and apprentices burned the fire, but the other kept chopping off the fat pig's meat. The big pieces of pork were thrown into a bucket, and then poured them directly into a big pot.

Li Shimin frowned and asked curiously: "You just cook like this?"

Li Yun didn't turn his head back, and continued to chop the meat and threw it into the bucket. He gathered a bucket and poured it into the big pot again. Then he explained: "Cook for a while first, cook the blood foam, change the water later, and then use various methods to stew it!"

"All kinds of ways?"

"Yes, the pig body is full of treasures, and everything can be cooked, but each method is different. The added seasonings cannot be the same. For example, pork head meat, you have to use peppercorn ingredients, plus cinnamon and corn, and then cook them over high heat. The worse it is, the better it tastes. For example, pork elbows, you have to steam it hard in a cage, and the steam is tender and tender. Even the toothless old man can eat it. There is also braised pork, so you can't use peppercorns for this thing..."

He talked about the introduction for a long time, and Li Shimin's eyes were straightened when he heard it. The emperor suddenly looked a little expectant and stared at the big pot and said, "Since ancient times, people said that pig meat would not be allowed to have a banquet. If you do this, it will turn into a hard dish."

Li Yun yelled twice and said with a slight pride: "Pork is a hard dish."

Suddenly he glanced at Li Shimin and asked deliberately: "Don't you think it's cheap meat, too?"

The emperor smiled faintly and said without comment: "Everyone in the world knows this. I am inconvenient to change it. I would say that this is cheap meat, but I ate quite a bit back then. At that time, I led the troops everywhere to fight. What did I eat when I was short of food? I once fought in Hebei for a while. In the army, I ate wild boars for half a month. Wild boars are cheaper than domestic pigs, but I still ate them with a tough head. Although the fishy smell is difficult to deal with, meat increases its strength after all. What's the harm in cheap meat? If the people can eat enough, I am willing to take the lead in eating cheap meat every day..."

Li Yun looked at him again and thoughtfully said, "No wonder you killed pigs so easily. It seems that you are not a butcher."
