Huo Gang has killed several sheep and a cow here. Because it is winter now, all the meat is placed in the cold room, and the outside world is a natural refrigerator.

"In this way, you will take a whole pig over, kill the pig today, and we will eat pork today." Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Chief... this pig... isn't it good for you to eat?" Chef Ma hesitated for a moment, and then spoke carefully. In his opinion, people like the leader should eat beef. Meat like pork should not be eaten by the leader.

"Haha, okay, I know what you are thinking. In fact, pork is not cheap at all. You don't understand that pork is the real delicacy, and it is a delicacy that can make all people healthy! And the whole body of pigs is treasured." Huo Gang said with a big laugh.

Huo Gang's words made all the chefs stunned for a moment, but Chef Ma bent down and said, "Yes, leader, then let's go now."

Most of the pigs, cattle and sheep are raised outside the city, but behind the leader's mansion and next to the stables of the leader's mansion, a small number of these livestock are also raised, of which only one pig is.

This pig is the largest among the pigs sent by the people, about 200 kilograms. This weight is not the largest in later generations, but it is already a huge pig in this era.

Huo Gang didn't have to worry about killing pigs. Chef Ma directly found a butcher in the city. Although the butcher didn't kill pigs many times, he obviously killed cattle and sheep many times, and he was already very skilled, not to mention that Huo Gang was commanding next to him.

First, he killed the pig, put all the pig blood in a basin, then boiled a large pot of hot water, and began to remove the pig's hair. After the pig's hair was completely removed and the pig had turned white and fat, the pig was then hung up.

At this time, not only Huo Gang was there, but Wang Shan and Wu Ping also rushed over when they heard the news. Of course, they were not here to eat meat, but to "persuade" Huo Gang. However, after they came in, Huo Gang directly assigned them tasks.

"Wang Shan, please record it. If you promote this news next year, the pig's whole body is full of treasures." Huo Gang said directly.

"This... is." The words of persuasion were blocked directly, but Wang Shan agreed directly, and Wu Ping simply stopped talking. They all knew Huo Gang too well.

Huo Gang pointed to the pig hair that had faded beside him, and then spoke: "Pig hair can be used to make pig hair brushes."

After the pig's internal organs were thrown out, Huo Gang pointed to the pig's internal organs and said, "The pig's internal organs can be eaten. For ordinary people, they are rare delicacies, at least they are delicious than eating without meat."

"Also, after cleaning the pig's small intestine, pour pig blood in it and put it in a steamer to steam it. That is the blood sausage, which is also a rare delicacy."

"As for the pig's large intestine, that is, fat intestines, wash it a few times, and after it is cleaned, and after it is fried with dogwood, it is a rare delicacy!" Huo Gang was embarrassed to say that he liked to eat fat intestines in his previous life, and it would be better to have a little smell, and fat intestines that have no smell at all are not fragrant.

"For example, pig blood, pig liver can replenish qi and blood. For example, after a pregnant woman gives birth to a child, she will eat some pig blood. After the pig's trotters are cleaned, the stew will be soft and can replenish qi and blood."

"By the way, pig blood can also be used as an additive for pigments. Someone will study this and you can record it."

"After refining, lard is placed in a cool place and will not break for a whole year. For ordinary people, they can eat oil a year. Replenishing oil and water can make people more energetic. Whether it is soldiers or people, they work more vigorously and people are healthier." Huo Gang pointed to the lard in the pig's belly and spoke.

Hearing this, Wang Shan and Wu Ping hurriedly recorded that oil and water are very important to people. Later generations said that eating a list of food is a bit longevity, but in fact, it was because later generations did not lack oil and water. However, in ancient times... when there was no vegetable oil, humans were extremely short of oil and water. At this time, there would be no light food and longevity.

In this era, eating more meat will lead to longevity.

Of course, lard has another function, Huo Gang did not say, that is, pork can be used to make nitroglycerin and nitroglycerin.

The specific method is actually very simple. After lard plus caustic soda, that is, sodium hydroxide, baking soda and ripe lime are processed, caustic soda can be easily obtained. Although the latter cannot achieve industrial alkali production in the entire Dahan, it has found related deposits, so it is not difficult to make it.

Heat the lard and add caustic soda to separate soda to obtain soap and glycerin.

Then mix three parts of nitric acid and three parts of sulfuric acid and four parts of glycerol, and the simple version of nitroglycerol is made.

This thing... can cure diseases, and of course it can also be used as explosives!

However, it is meaningless to say this now, because there are too few pigs. Although there are many pigs now, it still needs to be promoted. It is mainly because for most people, the storage of pork is a big problem.

But Huo Gang knew that it would be great to make pickled pork. When Huo Gang and his friends killed a pig every winter. The pickled pork could be eaten for a year and almost never broke.

The butcher that Chef Ma found was very skillful, and he knew that he was working for the leader, so he naturally worked very hard. He handled everything according to Huo Gang's instructions. Then, under Huo Gang's command, Chef Ma began to pick all the meat on the bones and put the pure lean meat in addition. All the fat and fat and lean pork were cut into pieces and put them in a big pot.

Then the fire started to refine oil. When the lard in the pan became more and more and the meat inside turned brown, a unique fragrance filled the air.

Huo Gang asked Chef Ma to serve a bowl of refined pork belly. The golden pork belly no longer felt greasy. No seasoning was needed. If you sprinkle a little salt, you can smell a unique fragrance.

Huo Gang ate a piece. When the familiar taste began to bloom in his taste buds, Huo Gang suddenly had the urge to cry. After coming to this world for so long, Huo Gang's food was not good, and it was only a little better than ordinary people later.

But to be honest, in Huo Gang's opinion, the food in the Tang Dynasty was almost the same as the food in later Britain. In short, it is hard to describe it.

Although it is fine enough, it is really not delicious.

At least the Chinese food at this time has not really revealed its charm. Of course, it does not mean that there is no food at this time, but that the food at this time is often not something that Huo Gang can't eat.

After giving them all a piece of food, Huo Gang looked at them and asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you still think this pork is cheap?"

Wang Shan and the others smiled embarrassedly. They knew it was delicious at once. At least they all thought it was better than beef and mutton... Lamb is a luxury for people of this era. Although it has a mutton smell, in this era when meat cannot be eaten, no one will pick on the mutton smell.

It’s not that so many people in later generations think that the taste of mutton is born, not, it’s purely because there is no shortage of oil and water. If a person is born to boil vegetables, then boil noodles, eat black noodles, and the like, there is no oil and water at all. When you see mutton, you will feel that it’s not delicious? Stop making trouble.

But mutton has some mutton smell, and beef is hard to describe. Although many people think that beef is eaten by nobles, Huo Gang feels that people think so simply because they can’t eat beef.

This is a reality, not a martial arts movie. Just one person can say that if you enter the restaurant, waiter, you will get two pounds of beef.

In ancient times, cows could not be killed casually. In the Sui Dynasty and in the Tang Dynasty, it was illegal, and the beef that could be eaten came from accidental death or old age.

Most of them are old and cannot cultivate the land, so they can only eat it. It is conceivable how old this kind of beef is.

Compared with very tender pork, which one is delicious, you can imagine.

In fact, from a scientific point of view, for animal meat, the smaller the animal meat is, the tenderer it is and the richer it is.

"Okay, take out the fried meat residue and make dumplings."

"Then pour the meat and oil into a large jar." Huo Gang pointed at the refined oil and spoke.

Chef Ma and his friends processed all these meats according to Huo Gang's method. The big urn was also used in later generations. In this era, it was a pottery made with a very thick wall. Half of them were used to hold water or other things.

After finishing the lard and pickled pork, Huo Gang began to teach them the skills of cooking. In history, it only appeared in the late Song Dynasty, because the economy was very developed in the Song Dynasty and the folk supplies were extremely abundant. When vegetable and animal oil began to increase, people had ordinary oil for cooking.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty could not even eat enough food, let alone oil and water. How could such an extremely luxurious way to eat cooking?

When those dishes, pork ribs, etc. that have never smelled before were served on the table, almost everyone was swallowing the saliva in their mouths, including even Chef Ma and others.

"Okay, I've cooked a lot today. You all stay for dinner. You have marked the way to preserve lard and pork, and then you can pass it on." Huo Gang said seriously.

"Yes." Wang Shan and Wu Ping nodded, "Chief, can mutton oil be preserved like this?"
