Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C301 A Piece of Rotten Meat



C301 A Piece of Rotten Meat

The green onion, since ancient times.    

    

It existed in Qin Country as well.    

    

However, most of them were used to sprinkle some green onion on the cooked Clear Broth Noodle Soup.    

    

The salt in the bowl of noodles was negligible.    

    

He casually fried a bowl of onion oil and then made a handmade rolling noodles. When boiling, he put salt on the noodles and poured the onion oil on the pot. After a slight stir, he started to eat in big mouthfuls.    

    

The chef also took a bowl of the noodles. After just one bite, he was stunned on the spot.    

    

He was speechless for a long time.    

    

One reason was that this dish was too delicious!    

    

Secondly, its production method was simply too simple!    

    

"It's... that simple?"    

    

"It's that simple. How complicated do you think it is?"    

    

"I'm amazed. I'm amazed!"    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Of course. These are the skills that you must master, but not the most important skills."    

    

As he spoke, he boiled another pot of oil.    

    

He soaked the starch, pickled the meat, and then put it in the oil and slowly fried it. It was fried until it was crisp and tender outside. Then he took it out and controlled the dry oil. He heated the oil and then fried it into dry again.    

    

He placed it in front of the chef and said, "What do you think is the most important thing when marching to war in the cold weather?"    

    

"Warmth preservation."    

    

"[Warm protection is secondary. The most important thing is to eat. We need to eat food with high energy so that we can have enough physical strength to resist the cold and the pain.]"    

    

Speaking up to this point, Xiao Yun seriously looked at the chef and said, "But people who fight at the border can only eat what they usually eat. You know this very well, right?"    

    

The chef sighed and said, "The frozen food is really hard to swallow. It's easy to bring along dried biscuits. When you burn it on the fire and take advantage of the heat, it can soften a little. Then, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth. Anyway, as long as it can fill his stomach, it's fine. We didn't need to think about the taste, we knew it at that time. These grains were gathered after exhausting the entire country. No one has any complaints."    

    

Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "It's true that we exhausted our national strength, but most of the money... The reason why we chose flatbread and the like... Other things, such as fruits and vegetables, are easy to put away. They broke down before they could send them to the place. They wanted to eat some meat or fresh fruits and vegetables. But... it's cold in the north and desolate in the sky. How can there be such things?"    

    

" That's right... "    

    

" So we have to send meat over. After a while, I'll think of a way to send some fruits over. Since the soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives for this battle, I have to let them eat their fill. Eat well! I want to reach the limit of what I can do. This is the only way. Only then can I feel a bit more at ease, because in this war... It's the same as me sending them to the battlefield, I have to convince myself. "    

    

"Young master is virtuous!"    

    

"Alright, you're not suited to bootlicking."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled, then pointed at the piece of meat and said, "How long do you think this kind of thing can last?"    

    

The chef hurriedly picked up a piece carefully, looked around, and then said, "This... is very similar to dried meat. If it is dried meat, if you are careful, try not to touch the water. It can be stored for a year without any problem!"    

    

"That's right. This is a similar thing, but it's different from dried meat. It is made much faster and has a greater heat. If you roast it slightly, it will be easier to swallow."    

    

"This... Can it be so good?"    

    

"Of course, this is the benefit of oil!"    

    

"Since young master said so, this lowly one believes it."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Try it."    

    

The chef took a bite and was conquered by the unprecedented taste.    

    

He stood there blankly for a long time without saying anything.    

    

He finally squeezed out a sentence with great difficulty, but he started with a bitter smile and ended with a sigh.    

    

"I thought that in terms of culinary skills, it would be difficult to find a worthy opponent in this capital, but I didn't expect... Sigh, I'm just a frog at the bottom of a well."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled, turned around, and fished out the broth from the pot, pouring it on the meat slices, and then said, "Try it again now."    

    

"This..."    

    

The chef took a bite, and in an instant, he felt a little uncomfortable. He even had the impulse to kneel down before Xiao Yun!    

    

Xiao Yun said, "With your craftsmanship, you have already learned a rough idea of these dishes just by looking at them, right? Let me ask you now, what is the most important of these dishes? "    

    

The chef took a deep breath and sorted out his emotions. Then, he said decisively, "The fire!"    

    

Xiao Yun laughed loudly after hearing that. He nodded and said, "That's right. My culinary skills that have been nurtured for thousands of years are all on the same level! Since you can see it, then you must know how to control it. What happens next... It's a familiar process. "    

    

The chef nodded his head heavily. He had absolute confidence.    

    

Xiao Yun said, "At the same time, you need to take care of one more thing. This matter will be handled by Gold Hidden Pavilion, which is spread all over the world. But at the same time, you need to be in charge of the production, and you need to manage the entire account here. Even if it's the Gold Hidden Pavilion, it's only a support. We must clearly distinguish this matter. "    

    

"What... is that?"    

    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "I'm preparing to buy all the pigs in the world. Do you think I can do it?"    

    

"Of course I can. As a member of the Xiao family, I know a little about the wealth of young master. Besides, pigs are not very expensive."    

    

"Then, I will sell these pork to thousands of families in a special way."    

    

"This... Selling these pork requires layers of management. Besides, it is difficult to transport the pork, so the local pigs will only be sold to the local slaughterers. Then, they will be sold to the civilians. It will be very difficult to transport a piece of pork to other cities."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "So my form is a little special."    

    

" Oh? Please instruct me, young master."    

    

" I'll first give each door a piece of meat and let them hang it on the stove. This meat doesn't cost money right now. Wait for three to four months. Someone will come and collect it. If the meat is not eaten... If the meat is hung on the stove according to the rules, then it will be sold at three times the price of the horn. If it is eaten, then they will pay the original price of the meat."    

    

" This... Why is this so?"    

    

The chef was stunned and said, "You only collect money after three to four months? This... Many people might not be able to afford this sum of money at all. A corner of the meat was naturally nothing to a rich family. However, to the commoners, it was still very precious. If they did not eat it, they would buy it at three times the price? Then what was the point of buying it back? He had put it away for three to four months, could the meat still be eaten? He felt that most people would not eat it. They will all carefully hang it there and wait until the end to sell it for money!"    

    

"That's for the best!"    

    

Unexpectedly, the thing that the chef was most worried about was actually the thing that made Xiao Yun the happiest!    

    

"It's just a piece of meat. Even if it's placed in the hands of the common people, it will only be worth a piece of meat. But if it is placed in my hands, in this shop, and in the entire channel of Gold Hidden Pavilion, it will be a treasure!"    

    

"This..."    

    

The chef was even more confused.    

    

Xiao Yun laughed and then took out a black thing from the basket beside him.    

    

Wait! Xiao Yun washed it clean and cut it open. Only then would he be able to tell that it was a piece of meat.    

    

"This is..."    

    

The chef was even more puzzled.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This was placed on the kitchen stove in the kitchen a long time ago. You should be able to see it often. Why don't you recognize it?"    

    

The chef was stunned for a moment. Only then did he remember that when Xiao Yun did not have a high position in the family and was still the manager of the second room, Shangguan Qing'er had sent over such a piece of meat with a pout and even hung it on the kitchen stove.    

    

However, it was already dark in a few days. After that, he did not pay much attention to it and just treated it as a decoration. Besides, there was no need to clean the place where it was hung. It made the chef want to hang a few more pieces.    

    

Besides, even if the Xiao family wasn't as good as before, the pork wasn't like to be eaten. Most of the dishes cooked at home were mutton.    

    

"So this is that piece of meat. Why did it become like this now?"    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Actually, this is also a kind of cooking method. But if we really do it and do it deliberately, the cost will be too high. That's why I thought of this method."    

    

Speaking up to this point, Xiao Yun smiled again and asked, "Do you know the use of this piece of meat?"    

    

The chef shook his head.    

    

Xiao Yun said, "It's for His Majesty."    

    

"Huh?!"    

    

The chef was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.    

    

"This... This can be given to His Majesty?"    

    

In his opinion, what could be given to His Majesty was naturally the most precious treasure.    

    

This piece of rotten meat? It absolutely could not be considered a treasure.
