Chapter 93: Really fragrant

Li Shimin's mentality at this time really feels like he is ready to die!

But... when he struggled to put this pork bone into his mouth, it was completely gone without the fishy smell that pork should have, nor the unique smell of mutton! And the taste... was indescribable and delicious!

Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, and then began to chew slowly until the meat was completely swallowed. The rich aroma of meat still left a fragrance between his lips and teeth, which was endless and radiant, and he suddenly became radiant.

"Is this pork?"

He looked at Chen Zhengtai with surprise, his eyes full of confusion!

Chen Zhengtai knew how attractive the meat was, so he was not surprised by Li Shimin's amazement. He said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is pork."

"This meat is very delicious, not like pork." Li Shimin was full of suspicion!

The reason why the people of the Tang Dynasty did not like to eat pork was, on the one hand, for them, because they had not realized that if the pig was castrated, the taste would be more delicious, and after castration, the pork would be fatter and taste better. On the other hand, there were also techniques when slaughtering pigs, and they had to release the pig blood first to make the meat better.

The Rongchang pig has a good taste. After the nest was born, Chen Zhengtai made a delicate selection. In addition to the piglets with better appearance and stronger appearance, the other piglets that were relatively thin and did not inherit too many paternal genes were castrated. In this way, the original fishy smell of the pork was wiped out.

The reason why this pork gradually became popular and completely replaced mutton is because its taste is very unique.

Therefore, Li Shimin praised it very much and didn't find it strange.

"Teacher, this is indeed pork." Chen Zhengtai replied with a smile on his face.

When everyone saw Li Shimin like this, they became suspicious. Curiously, they picked up their chopsticks and tasted it!

But this taste is indeed unusual, and everyone was amazed for a moment.

“This pork is delicious.”

“Very delicious.”

The taste was so good that everyone expected. Everyone praised it. Even Queen Changsun tried a few bites. Seeing that Li Chengqian was eating deliciously, she smiled with relief and couldn't help but say, "Zhengtai still knows cooking?"

"Actually, I don't understand very much." Chen Zhengtai smiled and said in a leisurely manner: "This pig is not raised by the students, but by Ma Zhou and his cousin Chen Zhengde. They were in the sun and rain, and they focused on the pig, so they raised this pig. The students just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."

When Empress Changsun heard this, she said, "I have heard of this person Ma Zhou. This person is very talented, and His Majesty has praised him. As for your cousin, I think it is also a noble family. Is it a pity that they take care of raising pigs?"

This pork does taste extraordinary, but for Empress Changsun, both of them are not low-key, but they only go to raise pigs to satisfy their appetites. This is a waste of talent.

Li Shimin listened and felt that Empress Changsun was very wise and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, raising pigs is just a small path after all. Although this meat is delicious, there are so many delicious dishes in the world. I heard that Ma Zhou still has to raise pigs every day, and your cousin, shouldn't he study more at this time? How can he waste time on this matter, Chen Zhengtai..."

Li Shimin had a stern face and spoke in an tone of educating his juniors: "Everything has priority, you must remember this truth carefully."

The ministers ate this trunk. They usually eat too much mutton, which is a bit greasy. Now that they eat this meat, they suddenly feel the taste is unique. For a moment, they all eat it happily. However, someone's ears are sharp. After hearing the lessons of His Majesty Chen Zhengtai, Du Ruhui, who was sitting at the lower head, thoughts and smiled: "Your Majesty is very true. Regardless of others, just talking about Ma Zhou, he is quick-witted and cautious. He is a talent that can be created. He can do things without any leakage. He saves all the people in his family, and everyone praises him. But... Such a talent that makes him worth raising pigs is not a useless thing?"

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly as he heard this.

The others were also worried at this time and nodded one after another.

This pork bone soup is fragrant, but you, Chen Zhengtai, cannot be a scholar.

What's more, Du Ruhui is the prime minister, and everyone is willing to flatter him, and they all agree: "What Duke Du said is..."

"The way to govern people lies in their own duties."

Li Shimin became interested in listening to his ministers. After all, Chen Zhengtai was still too young. He was extremely smart and had extraordinary talent. However, as his mentor, I should educate him well and let him know that this intelligence should be placed on the right path and is crucial.

So he said enthusiastically: "What you all say is reasonable, Chen Zhengtai, you must keep these principles in mind."

Chen Zhengtai was depressed when he heard this. He kindly invited everyone to eat pork, but he was even chopped.

At this time, Changsun Wuji said with interest: "Your Majesty, Chen Zhengtai is still too young after all, just like a piece of uncensored jade, and needs to be carefully carved. I heard that he has not yet married yet, and this man will be unstable if he doesn't marry. I have a niece who has been married to Liu two years ago. Unfortunately, I just passed the Liu family's door, and the man from the Liu family died. Now he is a widow, and she is alone. Her character is very good. She and Chen Zhengtai are really a match made by heaven. The so-called talented man and beautiful women, and my niece is also called beautiful and smart. Once married, Chen Zhengtai will be determined in the future. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

This time it was Chen Zhengtai's turn to almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Changsun Wuji is really a dog. When he saw that the Chen family was booming, he thought about getting married with the Chen family. It would be fine. The dog was reluctant to marry his daughter, so he actually used his widow relatives to make up for the numbers. He not only won over the Chen family, but also promoted the unsalable women in his family. It was really a killing two birds with one stone.

Now he made this request in front of Li Shimin. If Li Shimin nodded in agreement, it would be impossible to change it in full view of everyone. Besides, Changsun Wuji is still the brother of Empress Changsun. Hey, no, why are there so many widows in the Changsun family? Could it be that like the Chen family, who will marry and die?

Oh my God, isn't this going to be deadly?

As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, the hall suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji speechlessly. Some people even wanted to spit on Changsun Wuji's face and scolded him for being shameless.

However, some people couldn't help but admire the methods of this Changsun Gong. Chen Zhengtai is his disciple of His Majesty. Now he saves the crown prince, and he will definitely be trusted by the emperor and the crown prince in the future. If the Changsun family can get married, their future status will be even more solid.

"I object." Someone couldn't help but stare at a wide eye and let out a low roar.

Everyone saw that it was Chen Jiye!

Chen Jiye was anxious, and very anxious!

I am just such a son. Although the Chen family’s family is not as good as the Changsun family, why should I marry your widow?

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Oh? I hope to hear it carefully."

Chen Jiye said angrily: "Your daughter is widowed at home, and my son has not married a bride yet..."

Changsun Wuji was not anxious and said with a smile: "Women get married, of course, it depends on morality. How can I see how many times she married? Mr. Chen, I did this for the sake of good health. He is so smart and clever, but he does not use his intelligence on the right path. Just need a wise woman who understands the truth to be well trained so that she can better serve Your Majesty and be loyal to the country in the future. My niece is very good to give birth to. As long as Mr. Chen nods, he can give birth to a fat boy for your Chen family this year."

Chen Zhengtai pinched his fingers in his heart, hey, is my arithmetic taught by the physical education teacher? No matter how I calculate it, it's wrong. There are still five or six months left this year. Even if I enter the bridal chamber now, how can I give birth to a fat boy? Guitang is so dirty. I, Chen Zhengtai, now understand.

Chen Jiye was speechless for a moment. The cleverness of Changsun Wuji lies in the fact that his niece is also the niece of Empress Changsun. Now Changsun Wuji says how virtuous and kind his niece is. You can't say that the women in your Changsun family are charming, right?

At this time, in front of everyone's suggestion, Your Majesty naturally doesn't care about this marriage, but as long as Empress Changsun nodded in public, even if it was a foregone conclusion, no one could change it.

At this time, Li Shimin seemed to be smiling. He glanced at Empress Changsun beside him, and saw Empress Changsun thinking, as if he was quite moved.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai and smiled and said, "Zhengtai, what do you think?"

"This..." Chen Zhengtai was very depressed. He was so frightened that he accidentally came. But the focus is not this, but...

Chen Zhengtai said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. This pig...is a bit extraordinary."

"Huh?" Li Shimin thought Chen Zhengtai would scramble to reject this marriage, but Chen Zhengtai turned his focus on the pig.

Chen Zhengtai continued: "This pig has been raised for more than five months and has grown 200 kilograms of meat."

Chen Zhengtai said word by word.

But then... the hall suddenly became silent.

Five months, two hundred kilograms?

What is this concept?

Among the manors of all the families here, there will be some livestock, among which sheep account for the largest proportion. A lamb, after raising it for eight months, would be good if it could grow to 60 kilograms.

But this pig... only takes 70% of the time, and with the same feeding cost, the speed of growing meat is three times that of sheep?

Moreover, the pork is delicious, it can be compared with meat sheep, and it is even more superior.

What is this concept?

"This..." Li Shimin was stunned. He suddenly realized something. After all, he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. What he was thinking was much deeper than ordinary people!

He was shocked and asked Chen Zhengtai with disbelief: "How is this possible?"
