Yu Shinan was so angry that he laughed.
Sun Simiao hurriedly signaled to Zhang Feng with his eyes.
However, Yu Shinan stopped Sun Simiao and said, "Continue."
Zhang Feng then said, "Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about this year. The Longyou Province of the Tang Dynasty suffered from a drought …"
"Let's not talk about this. Old Man knows that you want to show off your achievements again, right?"
Zhang Feng was stunned.
Then, he picked up the most recent topic and said, "Ever since we reached an agreement with Tubo, Tubo forgot about the basics in order to obtain more food to fight against the plague of locusts. Therefore, I asked Lao Li and the others to take the opportunity to gather a large number of pigs to eliminate the locusts …"
"Fortunately, the heavens took pity on us. In the end, the locusts were eliminated. However, the first thing that happened after the locusts were eliminated was the outbreak of famine …"
Yu Shinan frowned in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Feng hurriedly fast-forwarded again and said, "These pigs require a large amount of food every day. If we leave them to their own devices, if Tufan finds out and takes the opportunity to ask for the pigs, wouldn't that put Old Li and the others in danger?" We can't let the pigs go and can't afford to raise them. After all, people nowadays can barely afford to eat one meal a day. Where would we find the money to spare for rice? "
"That's why this kid is so impatient!"
"He only went up Mount Yi. When he was supervising the construction of White Deer College, he sent someone to find Old Gao to experiment on the mountain first. The Godly Doctor knows about this."
Yu Shinan nodded and his anger subsided a little.
"I already know about this. Old Man has seen Old Gao before."
"But what does the 300,000 pigs at the foot of the mountain have to do with this matter? Have you thought about it? "
"I have!"
Zhang Feng picked up the wine bowl and drank it. He sighed and said, "On the one hand, I was worried about the people all day long. I was hungry all day long. I couldn't sleep at night and didn't know how to eat. Fortunately, I found a solution in my dream. I developed a braising material made from thirteen herbs. It temporarily removed the smell of pork and made it delicious."
"It's just that you don't know that there are so many pigs outside Chang 'an City that are troubling Lao Li. Lao Li and I are brothers. When my brothers are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?"
"That's why I came up with this bold idea."
After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he gently opened the Beggar's Chicken.
At this time, he was sure that Yu Shinan and Li Mu hadn't eaten yet. Therefore, when the mud wrapped around the Beggar's Chicken was knocked open, the fragrance instantly attracted the two of them.
Yu Shinan's Adam's apple involuntarily moved.
Zhang Feng slowly peeled off the layers of lotus leaves, then took out a small knife from his bosom and cut open the chicken's stomach. The spices wrapped in the chicken's stomach, as well as the steaming hot eggs, instantly rolled all over the table.
Zhang Feng pointed to the Beggar's Chicken and said, "This is the way I came up with to solve the problem of the chickens and ducks starving to death because of lack of food every day!"
"That's eating!"
"This method is simple. It doesn't need a stove. You can learn how to cook just by looking at it once."
While Zhang Feng was talking, Yu Shinan and Sun Simiao had already picked up a chicken thigh and gnawed at it.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng heaved a deep sigh of relief.
Then he slowly said, "As for the 300,000 pigs, when I learned from Li Gan that more than 100 of them starved to death every day, I couldn't help but feel distressed."
"So many people in Chang 'an are starving, but pork is a natural food. Wouldn't it be a pity if we just let it be wasted and no one knew how to eat it? "
"So I planned to build a food processing factory at the foot of the mountain. Every day, I would let the people who learned how to braise meat in Tonghui Square continuously braise the pork. Then, I would send people to deliver it to Chang 'an City for everyone to eat …"
Zhang Feng explained his plan in detail.
At this point, Yu Shinan finally asked in shock, "Your original intention wasn't to save the ordinary people of Chang 'an, right? Although I haven't eaten it before, from Old Sun's slanderous look when he heard about the braised pork, I knew that it wasn't a common thing. Tell me what you think. "
At this point, Yu Shinan's anger finally disappeared completely.
Zhang Feng heaved a deep sigh of relief.
However, he knew that what he was about to say next was the most important thing. If he didn't get to the point, Yu Shinan wouldn't go up the mountain. Even if he had agreed before, he would regret it now.
Zhang Feng thought for a while, then raised his wine bowl and respectfully toasted Yu Shinan and Sun Simiao. Then he said, "As I said before, this plan was indeed for the sake of the academy's reputation."
"You also know that White Deer College is actually a hodgepodge. Those who don't know won't be able to accept such a model. Although I don't force everyone to come, I, Zhang Feng, also want to fight for my reputation and let everyone see White Deer College!"
"So?"
Yu Shinan threw away the chicken bones and picked through them. He took the small machete from Zhang Feng's hands and cut the chicken breast meat. He held it in his hands and ate it as he asked this question.
"I want to pry the food out of the mouths of those dukes and officials in Chang 'an!"
