Chapter 156 Everyone has meat to eat! "Captain Prince Consort, you can't do this!" Feng Jin waved his hands repeatedly.
"Why is it still too little?" Qin Mo took out two more ingots of gold and stuffed them into Feng Jin's hand without any explanation, "Take it and serve my mother-in-law well from now on. I don't go to the palace every day, Old Feng. You are the person in front of my mother-in-law, so please help me take good care of her!"
Feng Jin had long heard in the palace that Qin Mo was generous, and it turned out to be true today! 80 taels of gold, heavy and very pleasing to the eye.
"What did the Prince Consort say? It is the slave's duty to serve the queen, how can I accept your money!"
"Take what's given to you!"
Qin Mo rolled up his sleeves and said, "Old Feng, come here and help me!"
"Eh!"
Feng Jin responded and walked over. Qin Mo called him Lao Qin, which was more affectionate than others calling him Feng Gong.
Although this boy is stupid, he is a really nice person. No wonder he is so loved by His Majesty and His Majesty.
Qin Mo was humming a song while preparing the ingredients. Feng Jin asked curiously: "Captain Prince Consort, whose song are you humming?"
"Hey, this is called good luck. I feel so happy. I sing this song at the end of the year to suit the occasion!"
Feng Jin also nodded, which sounded really festive.
Being with Qin Mo made me feel better unconsciously.
In just half an hour, Qin Mo prepared seven or eight dishes.
When he came to the Li Zheng Hall, Li Shilong looked at the delicious food and moved his index finger, "This meat is..."
"Braised pork, I made it for my mother!"
Daqian's pork has not been fanned, so it tastes fishy. Honorable nobles generally do not eat pork because pork is very cheap.
Even the common people don't like to eat it, so they raise few pigs.
Qin Mo put in a lot of ingredients and simmered it for half an hour before the mutton smell in the meat was gone.
"But pork?"
Li Shilong frowned, "Can this thing be delicious?"
"Don't eat it if it doesn't taste good. It's not made for you anyway." Seeing Li Shilong questioning his cooking skills, Qin Mo snorted, took out his chopsticks and gently inserted them into the meat skin.
puff! The chopsticks penetrated easily, and the meat was even picky because it was so flexible.
The lard mixed with the color of the soup kept coming out.
Qin Mo took the knife again, cut a few pieces, and placed them in front of Queen Gongsun, "Queen Mother, please try it!"
Empress Gongsun smiled and did not mind that it was pork, "Your Majesty, I will try it first!"
Li Shilong snorted, "I don't believe he can make pork delicious!"
Empress Gongsun picked up her chopsticks and put them into her mouth. The chewy braised pork melted in her mouth, soft and glutinous but not greasy. The sauce exploded in her mouth. At that moment, Empress Gongsun's face showed a look of satisfaction, "It's delicious." , so delicious, I have never eaten such delicious pork!”
Li Shilong didn't believe it, "Is it really so delicious?"
Empress Gongsun didn't say anything, and directly put a chopstick into his mouth. Li Shilong chewed it twice and said nothing.
"What, I'll just say it's delicious?" Qin Mo said proudly.
Li Shilong said harshly: "Just be so-so!"
Qin Mo suddenly became unhappy and brought the braised pork over in front of him, "Queen Mother, Aunt Hu, you two eat. We are in a rush today and this braised pork is not bad enough. If you have a chance in the future, I will let you try the upgraded version." Meat. This pig has not been fanned, and the meat is a bit raw. When the time comes, I will ask my servants to cultivate some pigs that are not smelly, and the taste will be improved to two levels!"
Li Shilong was a little unhappy at first, but when he heard Qin Mo's words, he frowned and asked, "Pork can still be cultivated?"
"Of course, to be honest, there are too few things that Dagan can eat now. Just eating grains has no nutrition. Only eating meat can make him strong.
Cattle have to plow the fields, and they cannot be slaughtered except for old age and illness. Chickens, ducks and geese are also valuable, but they are too few, so production must be achieved. "
Qin Mo touched his chin, "If nothing else, at least let everyone be able to eat eggs and meat. Only then will Dagan be truly wealthy.
And if you have meat and eggs to eat, you can save a lot of food! "
Li Shilong's eyes flickered, "Tell me how to save food!"
Queen Gongsun and Hu Hongyu also listened with their ears pricked up.
"Huh, this is not simple. When there is fat and water in the stomach, the food consumption is less and the feeling of fullness is stronger. Without fat and water, you will not be full even after eating three or four bowls. If you eat a big meal of fish and meat, you will not be full even after a bowl of rice. One and a half bowls is enough.”
Li Shilong nodded. It was true. In the military camp, everyone was very good at eating, but if there was meat, the food consumption would be much less.
"Then do you have a way to make everyone eat eggs and meat?" Li Shilong said: "If you can do it, I will make you the Duke of the country!"
Qin Mo rolled his eyes, "My father is gone, so I will naturally become the Duke of the country. Father-in-law, you promised a blank check!"
"What I'm talking about is the second title of Duke!"
Qin Mo's mind became active, "Well, I still need to discuss this with Li Yue. After all, he inspired me about this matter."
Li Yue again?
Li Shilong frowned, why does this matter still have something to do with him? However, there were outsiders present at this time, so Li Shilong didn't ask any questions, and just said: "Okay, let's eat first, and then we'll talk after eating!"
"Oh!" Qin Mo nodded, and then gave Empress Gongsun some chopsticks of meat, "Mother, eat more, you have lost weight recently, don't save money, my son-in-law is rich!"
"Okay, okay, Queen Mother, eat more!" Originally, because of the incident between Li Xin and Gongsun Chong, she actually had no appetite.
But Qin Mo was so filial and well-behaved, and he made this sweet braised pork, which also whetted her appetite.
Hu Hongyu secretly sighed in her heart, this is probably the fate between people, not to mention the juniors, even in their generation, there are only two people who can talk to Li Shilong and Empress Gongsun.
"Slow down, no one will compete with you!" Queen Gongsun smiled fondly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Qin Mo's mouth.
Qin Mo smiled naively and thanked his mother. By the way, Lao Feng, you can come and have some too! Feng Jin quickly waved his hand, and Empress Gongsun said with a smile: "Try it together, this braised pork is indeed a rare delicacy!"
Feng Jin was moved in his heart, "Old slave, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"
He picked up the bowl and stood aside, not daring to pick up vegetables at all, just grabbing the rice.
Qin Mo directly put a large piece of braised pork, a small fish and some vegetables into his bowl, "Old Feng, eat more. Only when you are full can you have the energy to serve my queen!"
"Hey, I thank you, Commander-in-law!"
"Thank you. If you are in a good mood, you can serve my mother better."
Li Shilong sighed. He was still a little angry with Qin Mo at first, but after hearing these words, his anger completely disappeared. This child is really filial from the bottom of his heart.
Empress Gongsun also experienced the feeling of being filial. Looking at the princes and princesses, no one was as pure and filial as Qin Mo!
