Chapter 71: Taking the Ancients to Visit the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps

Tang Dynasty.

Some people with unique vision have already started buying piglets after hearing this.

Those who are well-off and quick-witted have taken the lead and started planning to stockpile more piglets. They can foresee that after today, the demand for pork will increase and the price of pork will naturally rise, but the increase is not expected to be too large.

The real price increase will happen when the first batch of pigs are slaughtered. If the pork is no longer sour and smelly by then, the price of pork will inevitably rise sharply.

Of course, the most excited ones were the skilled pig butchers. They could fully imagine that when pork became a mainstream food, their status would inevitably rise. Later emperors even wrote a couplet for them.

Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife.

Listen, how powerful!

……

reality.

Luo Li finished the last bite of Roujiamo and burped proudly. Then she remembered that she seemed to be live streaming and smiled awkwardly at the camera.

Later, seeing that Li Man still had a lot of cold noodles left, she was a little bored, so she started talking about pork culture: "Although Zhu and pig are homophones, eating pigs was not prohibited in the Ming Dynasty, and the same was true in the Qing Dynasty."

"Later, the habit of eating pork continued, and today my country's pork consumption has consistently ranked first in the world, and it is said that it is more than the second to fifth places combined."

"It's not just because we have 1.4 billion people, but also because we have a special love for pork. Every year, we consume twice as much pork as other meats such as beef, lamb, chicken, duck and fish, which is enough to prove our preference for pigs."

After Luo Li finished speaking, she gulped down the sweet pigmented drink.

【Come home with me, my cows will commit suicide: Is your pork so delicious? I have also eaten castrated pork, and I think it is just average. 】

Luo Li took a glimpse and continued to explain: "The castrated pig only removes the fishy smell. The specific taste is also very important to the method and breed. In fact, compared with the pig castration technology in ancient times, modern technology is a bit backward. After all, they not only castrated pigs, but also castrated people."

Seeing Luo Li making a knife-hand gesture, the ancient people all felt a chill in their crotch at the same time and hurriedly lowered their heads to check.

"So, if you want to eat some delicious pork, I recommend that you try to buy some specific breeds of pork online, such as the 'Rongchang pig' from the Bashu region, or the 'Xiaohua pig' from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. They both have good meat quality."

Luo Li added: "It is said that these breeds of pigs not only have excellent meat quality, but also have strong bodies. They can generally grow to 200 to 300 kilograms, and some can even reach 400 to 500 kilograms."

"But these are just what I heard online. I haven't done any specific research, so they can only be regarded as my personal, immature suggestions."

After saying that, Luo Li saw that Li Man had almost finished eating, so she waved at the camera and said, "We've finished eating, and now we're going to the next destination. I'll hang up for a while, and you guys can go do whatever you want."

As she spoke, Luo Li put her phone into her pocket, not realizing how much shock her words had brought to the ancient people.

……

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng was doing math problems over and over in his mind.

1.4 billion = 1.4 billion!

1.4 billion = 1.4 billion = more than 50 Qin Dynasties!

This number is really too exaggerated. At this moment, Ying Zheng finally understood why later generations were able to turn around from a weak country during the Qing Dynasty to become a world power in just over a hundred years.

With such a huge population base and united efforts, what can stump future generations?

……

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che felt like he had drunk freshly squeezed lemon juice, and his eyes were so red that they were about to burst.

1.4 billion people!

If his Han Dynasty could have 1.4 billion people, no, even if it was only 400 million people, he could make the saying "Everywhere you look, it's Han territory" a reality.

At this time, Wei Qing poured cold water on the issue and calmly analyzed: "Your Majesty, even if we have so many people, it is difficult to feed them. Sometimes too many people is a disaster."

Hearing this, Liu Che couldn't help but sigh. Only then did he truly understand the value of the hybrid rice developed by Mr. Yuan.

No wonder later generations respected Yuan Lao so much. Without his rice technology, later generations would not have been able to feed such a large population.

Liu Che and Wei Qing said at the same time with emotion: "Mr. Yuan, you are truly a god!"

……

tomorrow.

Compared with the population size, Zhu Yuanzhang was more concerned about the meat output of the "Rongchang Pig" mentioned by Luo Li.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, pork had replaced cattle and mutton and became the mainstream meat.

But the pigs in his Ming Dynasty only weighed about 100 kilograms on average. If they were not raised well, they might even weigh only 80 or 90 kilograms. Their body size was basically the same as that of a large dog.

And in later generations, a pig could weigh three hundred or even four hundred kilograms?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other and saw suspicion in their eyes. In his impression, a pig is only slightly larger than a big dog. How could it be possible to weigh as much as three or four hundred kilograms?

However, deep in his heart, there was a glimmer of expectation.

If such a breed of pig really existed, and if we could obtain their seeds, wouldn't the people of the Ming Dynasty be able to have meat on their tables regularly?

At this moment, the orange car with the words [Rongchang Pork] written on it appeared again at the lower left side of the sky curtain.

Zhu Yuanzhang reacted extremely quickly and clicked it without any hesitation.

Thirty cents for a pound of pork?

A bit expensive, but acceptable.

Zhu Yuanzhang spent money very happily this time and bought 1,000 kilograms of pork without hesitation. If there had not been a purchase restriction, he would definitely have bought more.

After payment was made, three large pork slabs suddenly appeared in the hall.

The huge size of the pork, even after being processed, still shocked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Is it really three hundred kilograms?

Unfortunately, what was given was not a living thing and could not be used directly for reproduction.

It seems that Rongchang pig seeds must be listed as one of the resources that must be obtained in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a booklet from his sleeve and solemnly wrote down the words "Rongchang pig seeds" in it. Then, above this line of words, he wrote down matters such as "hybrid rice" and "artificial rainfall".

……

reality.

Luo Li has now arrived near the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps by car. She chose a route that goes directly through the south side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, so that she can enjoy the scenery of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda along the way.

She took out her phone from her pocket, adjusted the angle, aimed it at the majestic silhouette of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and introduced it: "This iconic building in front of you is one of the treasures of Chang'an City - the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

"According to the plan, we should have gone closer to take a closer look, but now time is limited, so we can only watch from a distance." Luo Li said regretfully.

[Prodigal Sanlang: Big Wild Goose Pagoda has only seven floors? I remember the book said it has ten floors.]

Li Longji looked at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda which he could see at a glance outside the window, and compared it carefully with the sky. He found many differences, the most obvious of which was the number of floors.

"It's outrageous that we can still see fans of Li Longji these days."

Luo Li was surprised to see this ID and complained, then explained: "You are right, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda did have ten floors before, but that was changed later. At first it only had five floors. Later, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty thought the shape of the tower was not good-looking, so he ordered it to be changed to nine floors."

"After his wife Wu Zetian succeeded to the throne, she added another floor, which is the tenth floor you mentioned. I don't know if Wu Zetian added this extra floor with the intention of taking it to the next level."

"Afterwards, I don't remember the details, but after several earthquakes, the tower was completely cracked and changed to seven stories. It was not until the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty that it was renovated again and became what we see today."

"But even though the number of floors has been reduced, it still looks very grand. It's more than 60 meters long, almost as high as more than 20 floors."

As Luo Li spoke, she took out Li Man's phone and took pictures of her.

During the Wu anniversary.

Wu Zetian stood on the imperial city and looked into the distance towards Chang'an.

However, no matter how tall the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is, it is still difficult to see from such a distance.

She sighed imperceptibly. She had not yet issued the order to modify the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and she didn't know what she was thinking in another time and space. Was it really to suppress Li Zhi?

But as a couple, why should we do this?

"Okay, since time is limited, we won't stay any longer. Now, follow my camera and stroll through this prosperous Tang Dynasty scene."

"No, that's not right." Luo Li said with a playful smile.

"I've taken the wrong steps. I haven't put on makeup yet. Let me put on some makeup first, and then we can go for a walk." As she said that, Luo Li pulled Li Man and hurriedly rushed to a Hanfu store. The sky returned to darkness again.

When Luo Li appeared again, she had completely changed her appearance.

She was wearing a classical ruqun, with the light pink chiffon ruqun slightly open, revealing her snow-delicate skin around her neck.

She was wearing a pomegranate red long skirt with a wide, light and flowing hem. Every step she took seemed to have petals falling in the wind.

Her hair was tied up high and fixed with a hairpin, and the hair was adorned with delicate flowers, which sparkled brightly under the lights. The tassel earrings on her ears swayed gently with her movements, making pleasant sounds, adding a bit of agility to her temperament.

"Who...who is this?"

The ancient people were stunned for a moment, rubbing their eyes until they were red, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

Is this still the same Miss Luo who could distort her facial features when eating a roujiamo and burp in front of the camera without caring about other people's eyes?

how can that be!

This woman looks gentle, graceful and elegant, she is definitely not Miss Luo!

Return Miss Luo to us quickly!

"How is it? Does it look good? Isn't it beautiful?" At this time, the woman in the sky said, staring at the camera.

Yes! That’s the taste!

Hearing the woman's uninhibited tone, the ancient man immediately put his heart back in his stomach. It seemed that this was indeed Miss Luo.

After confirming her identity, the ancient man finally had the mood to look at Luo Li's makeup and appearance.

Tang Dynasty.

The people from the Tang Dynasty group couldn't help but marvel at Luo Li's changed appearance.

Cheng Yaojin: "I didn't expect Miss Luo to be so beautiful after dressing up. If she could marry my son, I would be willing to travel to the afterlife eight or ten times!"

The others didn't think anything was wrong at first, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong. After they realized what was going on, they couldn't help but laugh and curse.

Yuchi Jingde: "You old man, why are you still eating and taking things?"

Wei Zheng: "I think you are a toad marrying a frog. You are ugly, but you play with it."

Cheng Yaojin: "You..."

……

Wuzhou period.

Wu Zetian looked at Luo Li carefully from head to toe and couldn't help but nodded approvingly.

Although some details of this costume are different from those of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the overall style can still be seen as that of the Tang Dynasty.

However, although the fabric of the clothes was dyed with even and bright colors, the material looked quite ordinary, not worthy of the dyeing craftsmanship, nor of Miss Luo's figure and appearance.
