Mohist Tang

“Beef!”

Mo Dun tone barely fell, and the atmosphere in the whole private room suddenly fell silent.

Li Shimin’s face suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at Mo Dun without any expression, and said dumbly: “Do you know how important cattle are to Great Tang? The Imperial Court has repeatedly ordered the prohibition of private slaughter Farming cattle, even the Imperial Court is only a sacrifice to the heavens in order to kill cattle.”

Mo Dun nodded and said: “A cow is enough for ten strong men. For the countryside, one cow can be owned. It is the standard of the Shanghu family, and the Great Tang law, the slaughter of cattle without permission will cost thirty, five hundred li, or worse…”

Mo Dun has recently studied the Great Tang law, of course Knowing that farming cattle is the best labor force of this era, it is comparable to the weight of tractors of later generations. Every Agricultural School of Thought regards its own farming cattle as life, and even the government registers the farming cattle, even the farming cattle. Death must be appraised by the county government and confirmed before being sold.

Of course, it is not without loopholes. For some giants Great Family, there are naturally methods to exploit loopholes in the law. Around Chang’an City, there are not a few cattle who fall to death every year, die of sickness and die of old age.

“Could it be that Mo Dun slaughtered cattle privately to make hot pot ingredients.” The three Qin Huaiyu were secretly anxious.

If you make beef in private, and find a good excuse, no one will go into it, and Mo Dun will put it on the table. Wouldnt it be bad luck?

Li Shimin coldly said: “Since you are familiar with the Great Tang Law, why do you still know the law and break the law? Is it really like the Imperial Censor played, being pet and coquettish!”

Mo Dun shook his head Said: “Your Majesty is misunderstood. The beef in the Fish Excellence building is not my Great Tang cattle, but the Melancholic Horse from various parts of the grassland. The cattle are not good at running long distances and are transported from outside the customs to Chang’an City. A few ends, these are all filed in the government.”

When I heard this, Li Shimin was sighed in relief, and the atmosphere in the box eased.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly looked unsurprisingly. Mo Dun, the youngster, is extremely slippery. How can he leave such a big handle? Since he can speak, he is naturally confident that nothing will happen.

“How many heads are there? Old man? But I heard that Melancholic Horse is very popular on the prairie. A jar of wine is worth two cows. Did your youngster get it from all parts of the prairie? How many cows and horses. Cheng Yaojin asked curiously.

Mo Dun triumphantly said: “That was before, and now the price has stabilized. A Melancholic Horse, a horse or a cow, on the grassland, the cow is cheaper than the horse, plus winter is coming, Melancholic Horse Sales have increased dramatically, reaching Chang’an City. There are already 100 cows, and about 200 cows have been shipped to Great Tang. At least 500 cows have not been delivered.”

“Nearly eight Hundreds of cows!” Suddenly everyone couldn’t help but slap their tongues. No one thought that Mo Dun would have produced so many cows and horses from the grassland in a calm manner, plus the previous horses, there were at least a thousand cows and horses.

This is probably the Great Tang Feudal, in addition to defeating Turkic, he has obtained the greatest gain in large livestock.

The price that Mo Dun paid was only a thousand jars of wine, which was really jealous.

Li Shimin is also happy, Melancholic Horse’s tax is four taxes and one tax, which means that two hundred of these cattle must be handed over to the Imperial Court, which is not a small fortune.

“Well, the beef of the prairie, the old man was able to taste it only when he defeated Turkic back then. The delicacy is still unforgettable for the old man. I didn’t expect to get what he wanted today.” Cheng Yaojin Haomai said.

Li Shimin also thinks of those prosperous years, drinking three cups with Cheng Yaojin, and laughing.

At this moment, Uncle Yu walked in with a large chunk of frozen beef.

Cheng Yaojin frowns saying: “Frozen beef overnight? It’s not as good as fresh.”

Master Yu said with a smile: “General Cheng, I dont know If its braised sirloin, its naturally fresh beef. But when it comes to hot pot, only frozen beef is the best.”

In the curious eyes of everyone, Master Yu held a long Use a tool similar to a small guillotine to fix the tough beef. For the first time, apply light force to the handle of the guillotine.

The hard beef is cut into small slices as thin as cicada wing under the action of a lever and a sharp blade, and each one is rolled into a roll of index finger length.

Master Yu cut the beef on the spot and put it on the table as a beautiful artwork.

Mo Dun explained: “If it’s raw beef, you can’t cut the beef into such thin slices, so the taste will be greatly reduced.”

Mo Dun took the lead. Pick up a piece of beef and put it in a boiling soup pot, but it can be eaten after ten breaths. Under Mo Duns demonstration, everyone started adding beef shabu-shabu.

“Sure enough!” Li Shimin eyes shined said.

As for Cheng Yaojin, he was full of praise. Master Yu cut three whole plates of beef, which were quickly wiped out by everyone.

After that, the whole hot pot became like a special beef hot pot, brushing tripe, peeing beef balls, beef louver, all of which were full of praise,

Finally, add The verdant spinach, now the cold winter has come, everyone has not eaten green vegetables for at least two months, especially after eating big fish and meat, eating a few bites of vegetables is a pleasure.

The praised beef, the rare and precious vegetables, even if Li Shimin has tasted the delicacies of mountains and seas, he can’t help being nodded frequently, and he is so addicted.

Finally, I will have another delicious milk ice cream as dessert, which is even more lingering.

Hot pot with beef rolls is simply a matchless in the world delicacy, but unfortunately my Great Tang has few cattle and horses, otherwise the old man would be daily beef hot pot. Cheng Yaojin regretted.

Great Tang has strict laws. Even if Cheng Yaojin is National Duke, he dare not break the law, otherwise he would be reported by Imperial Censor and the consequences would be very serious.

The three of Qin Huaiyu on the side are also nodded again and again, and the beef hot pot at this time can be said to have completely conquered them.

Mo Dun glanced at Li Shimin secretly, saw Li Shimin expressionless, and said loudly, “Uncle Cheng, dont worry about this. Although my Great Tang is sparse, but in the prairie and even The land of Western Regions in Qinghai is full of cattle! If Uncle Cheng wants to eat it, Mohist Village will of course use Melancholic Horse continuously in exchange for it from various parts of the grassland.”

Cheng Yaojin knows how to pick it up. He said: “That’s not okay. Once you get to the Great Tang territory, you must abide by the Great Tang laws, and you must not slaughter cows wantonly.”

Mo Dun haha said with a smile: “This what difficulty is there, from the border to Chang’an City, there must be a few cows lost. When the time comes, they can naturally be slaughtered according to the law.”

Li Shimin’s face suddenly became bad.

“There are only a few places for the government to kill cattle in a year, where is enough?” Cheng Yaojin waved his hand.

Mo Dun didnt seem to see Li Shimins face. Loudly said, Thats easy. If the cold ground is freezing today, I can freeze all 500 cows on the prairie after slaughtering them. It is shipped to Great Tang, and there is also Saltpeter ice making. I am not afraid of beef damage at all. My Great Tang has been short of beef for a long time, and it must be very popular. This is a huge deal of tens of thousands of times. Will Uncle Cheng be willing to cooperate.”

Cheng Yaojin grinned and said: “That dare to love, then, the old man will not only eat all the beef, but also make a lot of money.”

Li Shimin’s face suddenly became dark.

Mo Dun haha said with a smile: “Uncle Cheng wants to eat fresh food, its easy to do. My nephew heard that there is a kind of cow in Tibet Plateau called _, which is so big and full of hair that it cant For farming, my nephew thinks that this cow can of course be slaughtered without breaking the Great Tang law, and this business can also be done.”

Li Shimin listen to Mo Dun and Cheng Yaojin, old killers, you One word, one word, directly exploited Great Tang’s law prohibiting the killing of cows full of loopholes.

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them watched Mo Dun and Cheng Yaojin wandering on the verge of death.

“You treat me as if I don’t exist, right? For a little money, I will disregard Great Tang’s interests.” Li Shimin flustered and exasperated said.

Mo Dun said resolutely: “No, the minister is waiting to defend his right to eat beef.”
