Chapter 259: Are you really going to eat these horses?
After the members of the diplomatic corps from various countries left the palace, Xiu Luoran called people and prepared to pick out a few northern Nu horses that were not too seriously injured and could be cured.
The chief eunuch, Eunuch Zhan, came over with a smile:
"Miss Xiu, the emperor said that since you asked, all these injured horses in Beinu will be given to you."
Seeing that the others were far away, Zhan Fang quietly asked Xiu Luoran:
"Miss Xiu, can you tell me whether horse meat is delicious or not? To be honest, I have never eaten it either."
During the Tianhe Dynasty, not only was killing cattle prohibited, but killing horses was also prohibited.
Because horses, like cows, are part of the productive force and are very important for plowing fields, pulling carts, and carrying goods.
If an animal does not die of old age or illness, it is not allowed to kill it and eat its meat.
Horses have one more use than cows, and that is as mounts.
Therefore, there are many people who have never eaten horse beef.
Xiu Luoran also smiled: "Eunuch Zhan, whether this is delicious or not depends on personal taste.
Horse beef is not as fat and tender as pork or mutton, and the meat is firmer. Some people like to eat fat, while others like to eat lean meat.”
Zhan Fang rolled his eyes and asked, "Does Miss Xiu think it tastes good?"
Xiu Luoran nodded: "Not bad."
"Miss Xiu, when you're done, send some to our house."
Although the emperor said that horse meat is not delicious, in fact, the emperor has never eaten horse meat.
Zhan Fang thought, no matter whether it tastes good or not, he would get some for the emperor to try, and he would also take the opportunity to have a bite.
Besides, this is Beinu’s BMW, and eating this meat is of great significance.
Xiu Luoran readily agreed to Zhan Fang's request:
"Eunuch Zhan, don't worry. When I'm done, I'll definitely send you some more, along with twenty jars of good wine."
Zhan Fang understood that this wine was given to him, but most of it should be given to the emperor.
At this moment, it is hard to say who is benefiting from whom, him or the emperor.
Yi Jingxuan knew Xiu Luoran's plan, and he felt deeply touched.
This girl always thinks about the country, so he can't fall behind.
He personally brought his men to help, and sent Beinu's injured and disabled horses, as well as the two snow lions, to the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion.
After a careful inspection, Xiu Luoran found that only four horses could be cured.
At that time, Yi Jingxuan and the others had been congratulating the Warriors these days. They finally had the opportunity and ability to fight against the Northern Nu people, so how could they not give their best?
They were extremely ruthless and chopped off the legs of many horses, literally breaking them in two.
There were also many horse legs that were only connected by a layer of skin and were no longer worth saving.
Yi Jingxuan asked Xiu Luoran: "Are you really going to eat the meat of these horses?"
Xiu Luoran: "Yes, I will prepare the braised horse meat myself."
That must be delicious, Yi Jingxuan thought.
"Then I'll ask someone to help you kill the horse."
"Okay. I don't have enough cars at home. Please help me get some more. I want to take the horse meat to a different place to cook it and then sell it."
"it is good."
Noon the next day.
The people of the capital city rushed to tell each other:
"Brother Zhang, do you know that there is only one place that sells horse meat? It is so delicious. It is the best horse meat in North Nu.
The restaurant owner said that in order to allow more people to eat horse meat from North Nu, each person is only allowed to buy two catties for five cents.
"Brother Wang, did you hear me right? Two catties of cooked horse meat for five cents?"
"You heard it right, the restaurant owner said that the restaurant originally wanted to give it away for free, but they needed to hire someone to kill the horse and cook the meat, and also buy seasonings.
Selling it for five cents is just the cost, since the horse meat doesn’t cost anything anyway.”
"No money spent? Then where did the horse come from? I just returned to Beijing and don't know. Please tell me in detail."
"Listen, this is what happened..."
This man talked about the competition for a long time on the street with saliva flying everywhere. Although everyone knew that he was exaggerating, they still listened with gusto.
In the past, the Beinu people were rampant on the northern border, killing people, setting fires, and looting property. Many Tianhe people died under their horses' hooves.
Today, the people of Tianhe are eating horse meat from Beinu, and they are feeling really happy.
"I see. I must go buy two kilograms. Don't go too late or you won't be able to buy it."
"Wait for me, I'll go too."
"And I."
On the streets of the capital, people could be seen everywhere happily carrying horse meat.
Qian'an Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Zhan Fang accompanied Yi Dingyao in drinking and eating horse meat.
Yi Dingyao said while eating:
"It tastes okay. If it was pork or venison, it would definitely be more delicious."
Zhan Fang poured Yi Dingyao a glass of wine:
“Your Majesty, Miss Xiu’s cooking skills are really good, this horse meat is very delicious.
If the emperor wants to eat braised venison, I can go to Duyu. "
“No need, I heard that people all over the street are buying horse meat, so we won’t get involved.
At this time, the girl must be very busy."
It has to be said that the girl from the Xiu family did things that pleased him very much, and selling horse meat could arouse the fighting spirit of the people.
Two pounds for five cents, she was not selling horse meat at all, she was giving it away.
"Zhan Fang, I can imagine that if the people of Northern Nu knew about this, they would be furious, hahahaha."
"Your Majesty is right. I heard that everyone in the Beinu Inn is dejected."
In the North Nu Kingdom posthouse.
"Wow!"
Kuler swept all the tea sets on the table to the floor, and his favorite teacup was broken:
"This damn girl is going too far!"
Jiermu hurried forward to comfort him:
"Brother Wang, she is so petty that she can even boast for a long time just because she eats horse meat. We should not bother with her.
Tradan has already come to our house, and he will definitely not let her go, and will fight for our Beinu."
In front of the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, Tradan led a group of Beinu people and shouted at the door:
"Xiu Luoran, come out here, I want to duel with you!"
